In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.

Shares Used in Computing Net Income per Share Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------------------------------------ (In thousands) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding ..................... 45,124 42,409 45,035 41,251 Shares issuable upon exercise of options reduced by the number of shares which could have been purchased with the proceeds of such exercise .............. 972 1,000 973 906 ------------------------------------- Shares used ......... 46,096 43,409 46,008 42,157 ===================================== Income per common and common equivalent share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. 3. Accounting for Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating and tax credit carryforwards. Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax liability as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are as follows: June 30, December 31, 1996 1995 --------------------------- (In thousands) Allowance for doubtful accounts ........... $2,319 $2,319 Accrued expenses not currently deductible . 5,966 7,769 Deferred revenue .......................... 9,722 9,122 Other ..................................... 782 1,728 Net operating loss and credit carryforwards 5,594 6,739 Purchased incomplete software technology .. 63,999 66,305 Deferred costs ............................

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ----------------------------------------- (Percent of Revenues) Revenues ........................ 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% ----------------------------------------- Salaries and related costs ...... 46.31 46.61 46.44 47.20 Data processing costs ........... 12.48 13.87 12.47 14.12 Other operating expenses ........ 17.94 18.83 17.81 18.34 Depreciation and amortization ... 5.25 5.44 5.27 5.68 Amortization of intangible assets 2.67 2.08 2.70 1.92 Capitalization of software-net .. (.35) (1.09) (.38) (1.07) ----------------------------------------- Total cost of revenues .......... 84.30 85.74 84.31 86.19 ----------------------------------------- Operating income ................ 15.70 14.26 15.69 13.81 ======================================== 6 Revenues - -------- Revenues increased 13.3% from $173.5 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $196.5 million in the current second quarter and 18.3% from $330.6 million in the first six months of 1995 to $391.2 million in the comparable current period. Approximately 65% of the year-to-date growth in revenue resulted from the inclusion of revenues from the date of purchase of acquired companies and the remainder from increases in revenue from the addition of new clients, growth in the transaction volume experienced by existing clients and price increases. Cost of Revenues - ---------------- Cost of revenues increased 11.4% from $148.7 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $165.6 million in the current second quarter, and 15.7% from $285.0 million in the first six months of 1995 to $329.8 million in the first six months of 1996. These increases are slightly less than the increase in revenue for the periods due to improved operating margins. Operating Income - ---------------- Operating income increased 24.7% from $24.7 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $30.9 million in the current second quarter, and 34.4% from $45.6 million in the first six months of 1995 to $61.4 million in the first six months of 1996. As a percentage of revenues, operating margins improved during the second quarter and first six months of 1996 when compared to the comparable prior year periods due primarily to changes in the mix of business, including the impact of acquisitions referred to above. Interest Expense - Net - ---------------------- As a result of acquisitions since January 1, 1995, which were only partially funded with common stock, net interest expense increased $0.6 million in the second quarter and $4.5 million in the first six months of 1996 over amounts incurred for the comparable 1995 periods. Income Tax Provision - -------------------- Income taxes were computed at 41% in both 1996 and 1995. The 41% rate is expected to apply throughout the current year. Net Income - ---------- Net income grew 26.9% from $12.0 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $15.2 million in the comparable 1996 quarter and 28.6% from $23.2 million in the first six months of 1995 to $29.9 million in the comparable current period. Net income per share increased $.05 from $.28 in the second quarter of 1995 to $.33 in the current second quarter and $.10 from $.55 in the first six months of 1995 to $.65 in the first six months of 1996. The increase in net income per share over 1995 was consistent with management expectations and historical growth rates. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- During the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash increased $1.7 million comprising primarily $75.8 million net cash provided by operating activities, $24.4 million decrease in investments and $3.8 million from issuance of common stock, which was partially offset by $7.7 million for the acquisition of businesses, $77.6 million net repayment of long-term debt and $17.0 million for capital expenditures. Long-term obligations amounted to $306.2 million at June 30, 1996. The majority of this debt comprises $119.6 million of senior notes due 1997 to 2001 and $173.0 million advanced under a $300 million unsecured line of credit and commercial paper facility which reduces $45 million in May 1997 and in May 1998, $60 million in May 1999 and expires in May 2000. A facility fee of 0.10% to 0.20% per annum is required on the line. The Company has historically applied a significant portion of its cash flow from operating activities and proceeds of its common stock offerings to acquisitions and the reduction of long-term debt and invests the remainder in short-term obligations until it is needed for further acquisitions or operating purposes. The Company believes that its cash flow from operating activities together with other available sources of funds will be adequate to meet its funding requirements. However, in the event that the Company makes significant future acquisitions, it may raise funds through additional borrowings or issuance of securities. 7 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
