MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiaries ("the
Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current year's presentation. The financial information should be
read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997. These unaudited financial statements reflect
all material and normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the
interim period. The results of the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
2. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common
share equivalents represent the effect of outstanding stock options. Basic
net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average number
of common shares less treasury stock.
3. As of March 1, 1998, the Company began to operate under state licenses
issued in its own name. At December 31, 1997, the Company operated under
licenses issued to First Data Corporation and reported money transfer
liabilities offset by restricted assets due from First Data. The Company
now reports its own money transfer liabilities which are offset by cash
and restricted assets.
4. The financial statements reflect the purchase of the Mid-America Money
Order Company on January 8, 1998.
5. In April 1998, the Company incurred approximately $6 million in expenses
as a result of cash paid to employees for existing stock options. The
Stock Option Plan contained a provision which required vesting of all
options with a cash payout in the case of a change in control of the
ownership of 25% or more of the Company's stock. On April 6, 1998 a
shareholder purchased sufficient stock to trigger such a change in
control. The cash paid out, including relevant taxes, will be recorded as
an operating expense in the second quarter of 1998.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
1997.
Revenues. The Company's revenues were $34.8 million in the first quarter of 1998
as compared with $32.4 million in 1997. This was the net result of a 10%
increase in fee revenue offset by a 2% decline in foreign exchange revenue.
Fee revenue for 1998 includes $1.35 million of revenue from Mid-America Money
Order Company ("MAMO") and Consorcio Oriental LLC, ("Consorcio") which were
acquired in January of this year. Excluding this, fee revenues were 3.2% higher
($1.1 million) based on a 12% increase in volume partially offset by lower fees
per transaction as a result of a lower fee for money transfers going to Mexico.
Due to competition, the Company has gone to an every day low price in many
markets with a resultant decrease of approximately 29% from its prior pricing.
Foreign exchange revenues declined $141,000 as a result of lower principal per
transaction and a reduction in the percent of spread on Mexican transactions.
This reduction was partially offset by a higher number of Mexican transactions
and growth in the foreign exchange earned on other international activity.
Expenses. Agent commissions increased 4% as a result of the higher fee revenue.
An increase in the amortization cost of the agent signing bonuses was offset by
a reduction in costs associated with guaranteed commissions, as a result of the
loss reserve established in December.
Processing expense increased $2.0 million largely as a result of the costs
associated with the MAMO and Consorcio revenues and the increased volume of
money transfer activity.
Advertising and promotion expense increased $1.1 million. The 1997 expenses were
unusually low as a result of reductions in domestic advertising, which were
subsequently restored.
Selling and service expense declined $600,000. The 1997 expenses included costs
which are now part of a joint venture and reported under processing costs.
General and administrative expenses were up 9% as a result of higher
depreciation expense.
7
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total cash and cash equivalents, which are comprised of short term investments,
increased $30.3 million, mainly as a result of the purchase of MAMO, which
included $27.4 million of cash and equivalents.
Cash flow from operations increased to $15.2 million from $8.3 million mainly as
a result of the Company operating independently under its licenses and the
associated timing differences, including daily settlement fluctuations
associated with the money order business.
Cash flow from investing activities included the cash included in the purchase
of MAMO.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
(a) Following the announcement of the proposed acquisition of the Company
by Viad Corp ("Viad") as discussed in Item 5 "Other Information" below, two
putative class actions on behalf of stockholders of the Company were filed in
the Delaware Court of Chancery.
In Harbor Finance Partners v. James F. Calvano, et al (Case No. 16306-NC),
the plaintiff is Harbor Finance Partners ("Harbor") on behalf of itself and
allegedly on behalf of all others similarly situated. The defendants are the
Company and the directors and certain officers of the Company. Plaintiff
alleges, among other things, that the individual defendants have violated their
fiduciary obligations to the Company's stockholders and that the consideration
to be paid to the Company's stockholders in the acquisition is inadequate. The
relief sought by plaintiff includes, among other things, an injunction against
consummation of the proposed transactions or, alternatively, rescission and
setting aside of such transactions, damages in an unspecified amount, costs,
attorneys' fees, and such other relief as may be just and proper.
In TAAM Associates, Inc. v. James F. Calvano, et al (Case No. 16305-NC),
the plaintiff is TAAM Associates, Inc. ("TAAM") on behalf of itself and
allegedly on behalf of all others similarly situated. The defendants are the
Company, the directors and certain officers of the Company, and Viad. Plaintiff
alleges, among other things, that the individual defendants have violated their
fiduciary obligations to the Company's stockholders; that the consideration to
be paid to the Company's stockholders in the acquisition is inadequate; and that
Viad aided and abetted such breaches of duty. The relief sought by plaintiff
includes, among other things, an injunction against consummation of the proposed
transactions or, alternatively, rescission and setting aside of such
transactions, damages in an unspecified amount, costs, attorneys' fees, and such
other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
On April 15, 1998, TAAM and Harbor (collectively the "Plaintiffs") filed
and served an Amended Class Action Complaint for Civil Action Nos. 16305-NC and
16306-NC restating the allegations in the original Complaints, filed on April 6,
1998, and alleging, among other things, that the omission of certain information
relating to the Company's first quarter 1998 earnings and financial information
relied upon by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, the Company's financial
advisor, in rendering its fairness opinion, violated the directors' fiduciary
duties to the Company's stockholders.
In addition, on April 15, 1998, the Plaintiffs filed a Motion for a
Preliminary Injunction seeking an order enjoining the defendants from proceeding
with and consummation or otherwise closing the transactions, and requiring the
Defendants to supplement the materials furnished to the Company's stockholders
by disclosing all allegedly material facts and correcting the alleged omissions
described in the Amended Class Action Complaint. That Motion, originally
scheduled to be heard on May 8, 1998 has been adjourned without a new date being
set.
After consultation with counsel, the Company believes, and has been
advised by Viad that it believes, the allegations contained in both of the
foregoing actions are meritless and intends to defend such actions vigorously.
9
(b) The Company is a defendant in a proposed class action commenced in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern
Division, on April 20, 1998 by Raul Ross Pineda and others. The action includes
allegations that the Company breached its contracts with the plaintiffs and has
engaged in unfair and fraudulent business practices, false advertising and
discrimination, and seeks money damages and injunctive relief. After
consultation with counsel, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses
and intends to defend this action vigorously.
Item 5. Other Information
(a) On April 4, 1998 the Company and Viad entered into the Viad Merger
Agreement (as defined below) providing for the acquisition of the Company by
Viad. Viad commenced a cash tender offer on April 10, 1998 for all of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Shares") at a
purchase price of $17 per share. The tender offer has been extended twice and
now is scheduled to expire at 6:00 p.m., New York City time on May 22, 1998, and
the purchase price has been increased to $17.35 per Common Share. The foregoing
description of the cash tender offer does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Schedule 14D-9 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 1998, as amended.
(b) On May 10, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend of one common share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding
Common Share of the Company. The dividend is effective as of May 20, 1998 (the
"Record Date") with respect to the stockholders of record on that date. The
Rights will also attach to new Common Shares issued after the Record Date. Each
Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one Common
Share of the Company at a price of $50.00 per Common Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set
forth in a Rights Agreement dated as of May 10, 1998 (the "Rights Agreement"),
between the Company and BankBoston, N.A. (the "Rights Agent").
Detachment and Transfer of Rights
Initially, the Rights will be evidenced by the stock certificates
representing Common Shares then outstanding, and no separate Right Certificates
will be distributed. Until the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth day after a
public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons,
has become an "Acquiring Person" (as such term is defined in the Rights
Agreement) or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board may
determine) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to
make, a tender offer or exchange offer which would result in the beneficial
ownership by an Acquiring Person of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares
(the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date") other than
pursuant to the Viad Merger Agreement (as such term is defined below), the
Rights will be evidenced, with respect to any of the Common Share certificates
outstanding as of the Record Date, by such Common Share certificate. In general,
an "Acquiring Person" is a person, the affiliates or associates of such person,
or a group, which has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the
outstanding Common Shares. However, under the terms of the Rights Agreement,
certain parties are exempt from the definition of Acquiring Person including but
not limited to the Company, any Subsidiary (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
and Gotham Partners L.P. ("Gotham"), or any other Person who
10
beneficially owns, as of the close of business on May 8, 1998, 15% or more of
the Common Shares then outstanding, provided that Gotham or such other Person,
as the case may be, does not become the Beneficial Owner (as defined in the
Rights Agreement) of any additional Common Shares that, in the aggregate, exceed
1% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, in which case such Person
shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person.
The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date (or
earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the Rights will be transferable
with and only with the Common Shares. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier
redemption or expiration of the Rights), new Common Share certificates issued
after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares will
contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the
Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights) the
surrender or transfer of any certificates for Common Shares outstanding as of
the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights
being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. As soon as
practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing
the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the
Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such
separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.
Exercisability of Rights
The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights
will expire on the earlier of (A) the Effective Time (as such term is defined in
the Merger Agreement dated as of April 4, 1998 among the Company, Pine Valley
Acquisition Corp. and Viad Corp. (the "Viad Merger Agreement") and (B) May 10,
2008 (the earlier of (A) and (B) being the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the
Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or
exchanged by the Company, in each case as described below. Until a right is
exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of
the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.
The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Common Shares or other
securities or property issuable or payable, upon exercise of the Rights are
subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution. The number of
outstanding Rights and the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of
each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split of the
Common Shares or a stock dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares,
or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the Common Shares occurring,
in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date. With certain exceptions, no
adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments
require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional
Common Shares will be issued and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be
made based on the market price of the Common Shares on the last trading day
prior to the date of exercise.
Trigger of Flip-In and Flip-Over Rights
In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be made so that each holder
of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person or any
affiliate or associate thereof (which will thereafter be void),
11
will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of Common
Shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. This
right will commence on the tenth day after the date of the initial public
announcement that a person has become an Acquiring Person (or the effective date
of a registration statement relating to distribution of the rights, if later).
In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction (other than pursuant to the Viad Merger Agreement) or
50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold to an Acquiring
Person, its affiliates or associates or certain other persons in which such
persons have an interest, proper provision will be made so that each such holder
of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof
at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common
stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a
market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.
Redemption and Exchange of Rights
At any time prior to the earliest of (i) the close of business on the
tenth day after the first public announcement that a person has become an
Acquiring Person, or (ii) the Final Expiration Date, the Board of Directors of
the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01
per Right (the "Redemption Price"). In general, the redemption of the Rights may
be made effective at such time, on such basis, and with such conditions as the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Immediately upon any
redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and
the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
At any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the
acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Shares, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other
than Rights owned by such person or group which will have become void), in whole
or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Common Share or such number of Common
Shares as will equal (i) the difference between the aggregate market price of
the number of Common Shares to be received and the Purchase Price divided by
(ii) the market price per Common Share upon the date such Person becomes an
Acquiring Person. In lieu of exchanging Rights for Common Shares, under
circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, the Company may exchange the
Rights for cash, property or other securities of the Company (or of a share of a
class or series of the Company's common stock having equivalent designations and
the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions) with value equal to such Common Shares.
Amendment of Rights
The terms of the Rights generally may be amended by the Board of Directors
of the Company without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that
from and after such time as the Rights are distributed no such amendment may
adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights (excluding the
interest of any Acquiring Person).
The rights of holders of the Common Stock to dividends, liquidation and
voting, and in the event of mergers and consolidations, are protected by
customary antidilution provisions.
12
The Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
on terms not approved by the Company's Board of Directors unless the offer is
conditioned on a substantial number of Rights being acquired. However, the
Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination
approved by the Company's Board of Directors because the Rights may be redeemed
by the Company at $.01 per Right at any time on or prior to the tenth day
following the Stock Acquisition Date (subject to extension by the Company's
Board of Directors). Thus, the Rights are intended to encourage persons who may
seek to acquire control of the Company to initiate such an acquisition through
negotiations with the Board of Directors. However, the effect of the Rights may
be to discourage a third party from making a partial tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain a substantial equity position in the equity securities of,
or seeking to obtain control of, the Company. To the extent any potential
acquirors are deterred by the Rights, the Rights may have the effect of
preserving incumbent management in office.
The Rights Agreement between the Company and the Rights Agent specifying
the terms of the Rights was attached as Exhibit 4 to the Company's Registration
Statement on Form 8-A dated May 11, 1998 and is incorporated herein by
reference. The foregoing description of the Rights does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibit 4.
