AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. (2) The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Notes 1 and 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements as filed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. (3) Income per share - Income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. The common stock equivalents are assumed converted to common stock when dilutive. (4) During the period ended June 30, 2000, stock options to purchase 320,248 shares were exercised and we received gross proceeds of $372,195. Pursuant to the option grants, employees had the right to pay for the exercise price of the option by delivering shares of common stock owned by them. During the period, the Company received 22,705 shares, having a value of $239,810, as the exercise price of options. As a result, common stock and additional paid in capital increased by $3,202 and $368,993, respectively, and treasury stock increased by $239,810. During the period ended June 30, 2000, warrants to purchase 192,105 shares were exercised and the Company received gross proceeds of $1,152,630. As a result, common stock and additional paid in capital increased by $1,922 and $1,150,708, receptively. (5) In January 2000, the Company acquired the Connex suite of managed care and employee assistance program information system from Behavioral Health Partners, Inc. The acquisition price consisted of approximately $39,266 in cash and 15,528 shares of common stock valued at $100,000. The purchase price was allocated to software development costs and will be amortized over an estimated life of five years. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we incurred additional software development costs associated with the employee assistance program software in the amount of $132,061, which is reflected in research and development expenses. (6) The Company is the defendant in an action commenced in June 2000 seeking damages of $2,000,000 for an alleged breach of a software license and service development agreement. The Company believes that it has valid legal defenses to such action. -8- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Six months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 A significant portion of our revenue is derived from fixed price software development contracts and licenses. We recognize this revenue on the estimated percentage of completion basis. Since the billing schedules under the contracts differ from the recognition of revenue, at the end of any period, these contacts generally result in either costs and estimated profits in excess of billing or billing in excess of cost and estimated profits. The largest component of our revenue is based upon the time spent by our technical personnel on a project. As a result, during the third and fourth quarters, when many of our employees are on vacation and holidays, our revenue could be affected. Additionally, during the first half of 2000, we implemented an increased product enhancement effort relating principally to new product functionality, technology upgrades and the addition of clinical content. In addition, we undertook the development of a significant upgrade to our core product which resulted in a migration to leading edge technologies. We allocated to these projects personnel who had previously performed services for clients which generated revenue. Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 (the "June 2000 period") was $10,511,000, a decrease of $296,000, or 3%, from the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999 (the "June 1999 period"), which was $10,807,000. The largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which decreased to $3,521,000 in the June 2000 period, from $3,654,000 in the June 1999 period, reflecting a 4% decrease. This decrease reflects the allocation of personnel to our product enhancement efforts. Revenue from third party hardware and software decreased to $2,246,000 in the June 2000 period from $3,245,000 in the June 1999 period, which represents a decrease of 31%. Sales of third party hardware and software are made in connection with the sales of turnkey systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than our behavioral health systems and services revenue. The data center (service bureau) revenue increased to $1,205,000 in the June 2000 period from $993,000 in the June 1999 period, reflecting an increase of 21%. This increase is substantially the result of work being performed for one particular client. There are no assurances that revenue will continue at this rate for this client. License revenue increased to $1,258,000 in the June 2000 period from $1,193,000 in the June 1999 period, reflecting an increase of 5%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of a behavioral health information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order that includes delivery of the system and maintenance. Maintenance revenue increased to $1,647,000 in the June 2000 period from $1,134,000 in the June 1999 period, reflecting an increase of 45%. As turnkey systems are successfully completed, they are transitioned to the maintenance division. During the June 2000 period, we completed the turnkey systems for approximately 24 new clients, for which we are performing maintenance services. Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division increased to $634,000 in the June 2000 period from $588,000 in the June 1999 period, reflecting an increase of 8%. Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 47% of revenue in the June 2000 period and 54% of revenue in the June 1999 period. This decrease results from a substantial contract with a private institution. Gross profit increased to $4,227,000 in the June 2000 period from $3,745,000 in the June 1999 period, reflecting a 13% increase. Our overall gross margin was 40% in the June 2000 period compared to 35% in the June 1999 period. The increase in gross margin was substantially attributable to the decrease in our third party hardware and software revenue, which yields margins significantly less than our revenue from our behavioral health systems and services and the increase in maintenance revenue, which generates a higher gross margin since the core costs and infrastructure investment have previously been established. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,368,000 in the June 2000 period, a decrease of 5% from the $2,484,000 in the June 1999 period. This decrease was substantially the result of a decrease in sales commissions. -9- In the June 2000 period we issued warrants for services rendered. We also extended one series of our warrants for five months. An aggregate of $181,000 was charged to operations for the warrant issuance and the warrant extension. We did not have a similar charge in the June 1999 period. As a result of the exercise of warrants during the extension period, we raised additional capital of $1,153,000. We incurred research and development expenses of $704,000 in the June 2000 period, an increase of 80% from the $390,000 in the June 1999 period. Research and development expenses increased in the June 2000 period as a result of several major productive initiatives. These initiatives include the repositioning of all of our products to thin client environment that will facilitate alternative system delivery methods, including Internet and application service provider channels. Additionally, a significant upgrade to our core product was undertaken which migrated the product to more current technologies and integrated customer specific requirements. Interest expense was $84,000 in the June 2000 period, a decrease of $46,000, or 36%, from the $130,000 in the June 1999 period. This decrease was the result of lower borrowings during the June 2000 period, in addition to a reduced cost of borrowings. The most significant component of the interest expense on an ongoing basis is the interest payable to our asset-based lender. We paid interest on such loans at a rate equal to prime plus 5 % in the June 1999 period. In October 1999, we entered into a new credit facility agreement. The interest rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime rate. During the June 2000 period, we paid all our outstanding borrowings from the lender, and, at June 30, 2000, there were no obligations to the lender. This facility remains available under the same terms and conditions if we need to borrow in the future. As a result of the foregoing factors, in the June 2000 period we generated a net income of $890,000, or $.27 per share (basic) and $.24 per share (diluted). For the June 1999 period, we generated net income of $740,000, or $.26 per share (basic) and $.22 per share (diluted). Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 (the "June 2000 quarter") was $4,909,000, a decrease of $663,000, or 12%, from the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 (the "June 1999 quarter"), which was $5,572,000. The largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which decreased to $1,666,000 in the June 2000 quarter, from $2,092,000 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting a 20% decrease. This decrease reflects the allocation of personnel to our product enhancement efforts. Revenue from third party hardware and software decreased to $764,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $1,513,000 in the June 1999 quarter, which represents a decrease of 50%. Sales of third party hardware and software are made in connection with the sales of turnkey systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than our behavioral health systems and services revenue. The data center (service bureau) revenue increased to $694,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $467,000 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting an increase of 49%. This increase is substantially the result of work being performed for one particular client. There are no assurances that revenue will continue at this rate for this client. License revenue decreased to $610,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $623,000 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting a decrease of 2%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of a behavioral health information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order that includes delivery of the system and maintenance. Maintenance revenue increased to $880,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $535,000 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting an increase of 64%. As turnkey systems are successfully completed, they are transitioned to the maintenance division. During the June 2000 quarter, we completed the turnkey systems for approximately 24 new clients, for which we are performing maintenance services. Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division decreased to $295,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $342,000 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting a decrease of 14%. Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 49% of revenue in the June 2000 quarter and 52% of revenue in the June 1999 quarter. This decrease results from a substantial contract with a private institution. Gross profit increased to $2,142,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $1,957,000 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting -10- a 9% increase. Our overall gross margin was 44% in the June 2000 quarter compared to 35% in the June 1999 quarter. The increase in gross margin was substantially attributable to the decrease in our third party hardware and software revenue, which yields margins significantly less than our revenue from our behavioral health systems and services, and the increase in maintenance revenue, which generates a higher gross margin since the core costs and infrastructure investment have previously been established. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,280,000 in the June 2000 quarter, a decrease of 2% from the $1,306,000 in the June 1999 quarter. This decrease was substantially the result of a decrease in sales commissions. We incurred research and development expenses of $382,000 in the June 2000 quarter, an increase of 103% from the $188,000 in the June 1999 quarter. Research and development expenses increased in the June 2000 quarter as a result of several major productive initiatives. These initiatives include the repositioning of all of our products to thin client environment that will facilitate alternative system delivery methods, including Internet and application service provider channels. Additionally, a significant upgrade to our core product was undertaken which migrated the product to more current technologies and integrated customer specific requirements. Interest expense was $26,000 in the June 2000 quarter, a decrease of $23,000, or 47%, from the $49,000 in the June 1999 quarter. This decrease was the result of lower borrowings during the June 2000 quarter, in addition to a reduced cost of borrowings. The most significant component of the interest expense on an ongoing basis is the interest payable to our asset-based lender. We paid interest on such loans at a rate equal to prime plus 5 % in the June 1999 quarter. In October 1999, we entered into a new credit facility agreement. The interest rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime rate. During the June 2000 quarter, we paid all our outstanding borrowings from the lender, and, at June 30, 2000, there were no obligations to the lender. This facility remains available under the same terms and conditions if we need to borrow in the future. As a result of the foregoing factors, in the June 2000 quarter, we generated a net income of $453,000, or $.13 per share (basic) and $.12 per share (diluted). For the June 1999 quarter, we generated net income of $413,000, or $.14 per share (basic) and $.12 per share (diluted). Liquidity and Capital Resources We had working capital of $4,195,000 at June 30, 2000 as compared to working capital of $2,013,000 at December 31, 1999. Our cash position increased from $205,000 at December 31, 1999 to $272,000 at June 30, 2000. The increase in working capital for the June 2000 period was substantially due to net income after adding back depreciation and amortization as well as from capital received from the exercise of warrants and options totaling $1,053,000. Our principal source of funds, other than revenue, is an accounts receivable financing agreement with an asset based lender which permits us to borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $3.5 million. At June 30, 2000, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility and the maximum amount available to borrow under this formula was $2.3 million. At June 30, 2000, accounts receivable and costs and estimated profits in excess of interim billings were approximately $10.7 million, representing approximately 183 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the June 2000 period, although no assurance can be given that revenue will continue at the same level as the June 2000 period. Accounts receivable at June 30, 2000 increased by $1.2 million from $5.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $7 million at June 30, 2000. Based on our outstanding contracts and our continuing business, we believe that our cash flow from operations, the availability under our financing agreement and our cash on hand will be sufficient to enable us to continue to -11- operate without additional funding, although it is possible that we may need additional funding if our business does not develop as we anticipate or if our expenses, including our software development costs relating to our expansion of our product line and our marketing costs for seeking to expand the market for our products and services to include smaller clinics and facilities and sole group practitioners exceed our expectation. Furthermore, if we continue to grow at the existing rate into 2001 and beyond, we may require additional funding. We are exploring various long term funding possibilities, although we cannot give any assurances that we will be able to obtain financing, and our failure to obtain financing could impair our ability to grow. An important part of our growth strategy is to acquire other businesses that are related to our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our securities or a combination of cash and securities. To the extent that we require cash, we may have to borrow the funds or issue equity. We have no commitments from any financing source and we may not be able to raise any cash necessary to complete an acquisition. If we fail to make any acquisitions our future growth may be limited. Year 2000 Compliance The "Year 2000 Issue" refers generally to the problems that some software may have in determining the correct century for the year. For example, software with date-sensitive functions that is not Year 2000 compliant may not be able to determine whether "00" means 1900 or 2000, which may result in computer and other failures or the creation of erroneous results. We believe that our present software products are Year 2000 compliant, and that any changes which may be required to software which we have delivered in the past would be made pursuant to new contracts with the clients to provide them with a current version of our products. We have defined Year 2000 compliant as the ability to: * correctly handle date information needed for the December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000 date change; * function according to the product documentation provided for this date change, without changes in operation resulting from the advent of a new century, assuming correct configuration; * where appropriate, respond to two-digit date input in a way that resolves the ambiguity as to century in a disclosed, defined and predetermined manner; * if the date elements in interfaces and data storage specify the century, store and provide output of date information in ways that are unambiguous as to century; and * recognize year 2000 as a leap year. To date, we have not experienced any material expense relating to Year 2000 compliance.
