THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 9 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UniComp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions underlying the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in the status of certain matters, facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual results could differ from these estimates. It is suggested that these quarterly consolidated financial statements and notes be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000. Certain amounts previously presented in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. 2. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE The calculation and presentation of earnings per share are in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of the stock options and warrants outstanding (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of preferred stock (using the if-converted method). For the Company, the numerator is the same for both basic and diluted EPS calculations. The following is a reconciliation of the denominator used in the calculation (in thousands):

Options and warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $7.12 per share for the six months ended August 31, 1999 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price for the Company's common stock for the period. All of the options and warrants outstanding for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to the net loss for the six month period. 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS ACQUISITION OF CONTINUUM TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION In January 1999, the Company acquired a $.6 million note receivable from Continuum Technology Corporation ("Continuum"). Consideration consisted of $.3 million in cash and accounts receivable of $.4 million. In March 1999, the Company purchased 97.5% of Continuum's outstanding common stock. Consideration consisted of $259,361 in cash, 8% notes payable aggregating $572,128 and 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining 2.5% of Continuum's outstanding common stock was purchased in February, 2000 for $17,800 in cash and 18,953 shares of the 10 Company's common stock. Continuum, headquartered in Fletcher, North Carolina, is involved in the design, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing of a complete line of hardware and software for customer activated terminals used in a retail setting. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The results of operations have been included from March 1, 1999, the effective date of the acquisition. The excess consideration above the fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $2.0 million has been recorded in goodwill. DISPOSITION OF SHOP WHILE YOU WAIT, INC. In June 1998, the Company contributed accounts receivable of $.5 million for a 67% ownership in a newly formed entity engaged in retail electronic commerce. In April 1999, the Company sold its ownership percentage to the minority shareholder for a $.7 million note receivable bearing interest at 8.5%. The note is receivable in monthly installments of $5,000-$10,000 per month with a final payment of $240,000 due in August 2003. The note is secured by the assets of the venture and the personal guarantee and pledged assets of the purchaser. The gain of $.3 million on the sale will be recognized as cash is received. DISPOSITION OF ICS UNICOMP LIMITED On December 1, 1999, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of the Company's Northern Ireland subsidiary, ICS UniComp Limited ("ICS UniComp") to ZEC Limited. ICS UniComp was an information technology service provider. Consideration consisted of $8.4 million in cash, $.9 million of which was received after year-end following final calculation of the purchase price. The assets disposed of included, but were not limited to, plant and machinery and motor vehicles, computer and office equipment furniture, premises, tradename, and intellectual property rights. Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and all other liabilities as of December 1, 1999 were retained by ICS UniComp. ICS UniComp was one of the ICS Computing Group subsidiaries acquired in 1993. Revenues of ICS UniComp were $2.6 million for the three months and $5.3 million for the six months ended August 31, 1999. The results of operations of ICS UniComp and all other discontinued operations have been excluded from the Company's continuing operations in all periods presented. A summary of the net assets of ICS UniComp, which have been reflected separately in the consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2000 and February 29, 2000, is as follows (in thousands):

11 4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The components of comprehensive income are as follows (in thousands) for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," in fiscal 1999. During fiscal 2000, management changed the way it viewed its business. In prior years, the Company's segments were Platform Migration, Transaction Processing, and Other, which included corporate level activities. Management now views the business as retail e-Business solutions and Legacy Extension and Vertical Application Software, since the long-term financial performance within each of these segments is affected by similar economic conditions, and each of these segments has its own management team. Consequently, the prior year segment information has been restated. Discontinued operations have been excluded from the following disclosures. The Retail e-Business solutions segment includes: - A full suite of e-commerce products and services including secure Internet and/or traditional bricks and mortar transaction processing, web development, and web hosting; - A family of customer-activated wireless devices to enhance the retail shopping experience and reduce vendors' overhead costs. The Legacy Extension and Vertical Application Software and services include: - A comprehensive suite of systems management software for IBM AS/400 users and two legacy extension products for transitioning IBM/36 and AS/400 applications to open-system platforms such as Windows NT, Unix, and Linux; - A workforce management, planning, and scheduling product suite;* - A comprehensive human resource management system;* - A SCADA monitoring and control product suite.* - A process control, business automation, and financial management system for the compound feed milling industry.* * These products are currently not material to the Company's consolidated operations. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The Company evaluates the performance of each operating division based on income from operations. 12 Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in the following table.

13 The vast majority of the Company's revenue is generated from products and services provided in the United States and the United Kingdom, although the Company does have customers in over 30 countries. The following table illustrates a summary of the operations by geographic area.

The Company sells its products and services to a variety of customers. Symbol Technologies represented 17.6% of company revenue for the three month and 16.0% of company revenue for the six month period ended August 31, 2000. Symbol Technologies represented 11.4% of company revenue for the three month and 10.4% of company revenue for the six month periods ended August 31, 1999. 6. SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK 14 On October 7, 1998, the Company issued 3,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $1 per share, and warrants for 102,127 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $4.41, for aggregate consideration of $3 million. Transaction costs of $.2 million were paid in connection with the offering. Dividends are payable quarterly in cash or additional preferred stock at a rate of 5% per annum. The preferred shares, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends, are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the lower of 90% of the Company's stock price for 30 days preceding the conversion or $5 per share. The beneficial conversion feature and the warrants have been allocated $300,000 and $110,000, respectively, of the proceeds. The discount of $300,000 resulting from the allocation to the beneficial conversion feature was recognized as an additional return to the preferred shareholders through the earliest conversion date. In the event the Company does not register the underlying common stock, the holder of the preferred shares receives an additional discount of 2% per month on the conversions with a maximum additional discount of 15%. At February 29, 2000, the conversion percentage was 75%. Holders of the Series A preferred stock are not entitled to vote on any shareholder matter. The preferred stock agreement provides that, absent shareholder approval, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock is 1,576,000. If the number of underlying shares of common stock exceeds 1,576,000, the Company is mandatorily obligated to redeem the excess. As of February 29, 2000, 1,880 shares of the preferred had been converted into 759,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In March 2000, the remaining 1,120 preferred shares and accrued dividends were redeemed by the Company for cash in the amount of $2.4 million. 7. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts or revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods indicated. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 8. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS AND REORGANIZATION COSTS During the second quarter and as of September 1, 2000, the Company reorganized through plans to consolidate and refocus existing business units. These plans will allow the Company to more effectively manage its existing businesses in the current, rapidly changing market conditions. In connection therewith, management also reevaluated the Company's investment in capitalized software in light of current market conditions and the reorganization plans. Management determined that, based on current market conditions, evolving sales strategies, and an analysis of projected undiscounted future cash flows calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets, notably software of its transaction processing subsidiary, may not be recoverable. The resultant impairment of long-lived assets, due principally to the impact of current market conditions and a shift in sales strategy in the direction of transaction processing revenues, necessitated a write-down of approximately $.9 million. In connection with effecting the reorganization, the Company has also recorded costs and accrued liabilities to close inactive operations. The reorganization, which was substantially completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2001, also included the termination of certain redundant staff positions. Details 15 of this element of the reorganization were finalized and communicated in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2001. Compensation costs, including severance and other termination benefits, and other future costs related to the reorganization, were recognized in the second and third quarters of the current fiscal year as noted below. Asset impairment and reorganization costs for the quarters ended August 31, 2000 and November 30, 2000 are as follows (in thousands):

As of October 16, 2000, approximately 80 employee terminations and resignations were related to reorganization actions. Accrued reorganization and related costs at October 16, 2000 totaled approximately $500,000, which is considered adequate to cover the employee related costs, including leased vehicle leases, which remain as a result of the reorganization plan. As a result of these reorganization efforts, the Company has reduced its annual selling, general, and administrative costs, primarily through payroll and related cost reduction, by approximately $5,000,000 annually. See discussion in the MD&A where the Company breaks total selling, general, and administrative costs for the three and six month periods ended 8/31/00 into recurring, non-recurring, and one time, reorganization and asset impairment costs. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPANY'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO AND WITH THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2000. EXCEPT FOR THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING ECONOMIC, COMPETITIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS, MARKETS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND PRICES AS WELL AS OTHER FACTORS DISCUSSED IN THE NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K. THESE AND OTHER FACTORS MAY CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED. OVERVIEW UniComp, Inc. (the Company), founded in 1985, is a provider of retail e-business solutions and legacy extension and innovative vertical application software for small and large companies, resellers and system integrators worldwide. The Company licenses its technology to a cross section of industries including manufacturing, distribution, transportation, public-sector, point of sale and transaction processors. Additionally, the Company provides installation, training, and systems integration, serving a worldwide network of end user customers, dealers and distributors. The Company's strategy is to emphasize its software products, acquire synergistic technologies and businesses, and to expand its services business within its existing geographic markets. In the first two quarters of fiscal year ending February 28, 2001, the Company generated $9.6 million in total revenue, of which $6.1 million was derived from sales of computer equipment, primarily transaction processing equipment and retail wireless devices, and $1.5 million was derived from information technology 16 services. The remaining $2.0 million in revenue was derived from license and maintenance fees for the Company's platform-migration software, transaction-processing systems and other vertical market software products. Cost of sales for computer equipment consists of the actual costs of the products sold. Cost of sales for information technology services includes supplies, parts, subcontractors and other direct costs of delivering the services, except for salary costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative costs. Cost of sales for software includes amortization of capitalized software development costs, as well as royalties payable on embedded technologies and any other direct costs of providing its software products and support. The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs over the estimated life of the product, generally three to four years. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and related costs for all employees, travel, costs associated with internal equipment, sales commissions, premises and marketing costs, as well as general office and administrative costs, and the amortization of goodwill. Development grants received from the government of Northern Ireland have been recorded as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, or a reduction in capitalized development costs, and are anticipated to remain relatively constant for the foreseeable future. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The Company's business units have been aggregated into two reportable segments: (1) Retail e-Business Solutions and (2) Legacy Transition and Vertical Application Software. The Retail e-Business Solutions include: - A full suite of e-commerce products and services including secure Internet and/or traditional bricks and mortar transaction processing, web development, and web hosting; - A family of customer-activated wireless devices to enhance the retail shopping experience and reduce vendors' overhead costs. The Legacy Transition and Vertical Application Software and services include: - A comprehensive suite of systems management software for IBM AS/400 users and two legacy extension products for transitioning IBM/36 and AS/400 applications to open-system platforms such as Windows NT, Unix, and Linux; - A workforce management, planning, and scheduling product suite; - A comprehensive human resource management system; - A SCADA monitoring and control product suite. - A process control, business automation, and financial management system for the compound feed milling industry. Financial information by reportable segment for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999 is included in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES 17 RETAIL E-BUSINESS SOLUTIONS E-commerce products and services UniComp has been developing e-commerce products since the early 1990's. Those development efforts have yielded a web-enabled suite of products that deliver a completely integrated solution for Internet merchants as well as those who have yet to transition to e-commerce and continue to operate in the traditional world. The primary piece of software involved, Universal Payment Software ("UPS"), facilitates both e-commerce and traditional commerce by providing a secure method for processing credit and debit card transactions while supporting check verification, authorization, and guarantee services. UniComp will not only realize revenue from the sale of the software itself, but also will participate in the recurring transaction processing revenue stream. The system also supports other payment types including electronic benefits transfer and frequent shopper programs, and allows for gift certificate issuance and validation. It can be integrated with Point Of Sale ("POS") software, and batch processing following each business day can provide immediate sales data. Another key software offering is the recently completed Internet Payment Processing System ("IPPS"). IPPS is a complete Shopping Cart system, ECML-compliant Order Form, and a browser-based Merchant Account Control Panel for secure on-line ordering, processing credit card sales, issuing refunds and voids, viewing pending orders, and generating revenue, refund, and state sales tax reports. This software will allow merchants to do business on-line through their web-site. UniComp complements these software offerings by supplying new and refurbished transaction-processing equipment, thereby offering complete transaction-processing systems to merchants worldwide. The final offerings that complete the set are the web design and web hosting services, which are targeted primarily at small and medium-sized businesses. UniComp offers a full complement of web design capabilities, including site design and layout, custom logos, buttons and background design, a custom site map for navigation, and banner creation for increasing site and product exposure. UniComp will also host and register a web site with four major Internet search engines. Retail Wireless Devices By virtue of a recent strategic acquisition, UniComp is now a significant supplier of high performance POS transaction processing terminals, and is involved in the design, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing of a complete line of hardware and software for remote transaction processing applications. The initial set of products to be marketed and distributed worldwide consists of two that are currently available and being sold in the United States and two in the final stages of development that will be launched during calendar year 2000. The Retail Display Adapter ("RDA") is a small, box shaped device that enables a retailer to connect a full color graphics display device to any IBM 46xx terminal. The RDA allows for fully configurable fields, increasing the amount of information available on the POS display, including running subtotals, multiple-item listing, coupon totals, frequent shopper rewards, and a Virtual Receipt. The RDA provides three main benefits to retailers: 1) by configuring the POS display to meet the specific needs of a retailer's operation through use of the PC based RDA Configurator software, the RDA enhances checkout efficiency and customer satisfaction through improved communication, 2) the RDA can be utilized as a data collection 18 device, which data can then be used to improve the retailer's own marketing efforts, and 3) the RDA allows retailers to realize substantial savings in capital investment by either extending the life and providing increased functionality to legacy systems, thus postponing costly system upgrades, or by allowing for installations of refurbished equipment that would have increased usability, efficiency, and a longer effective lifetime through the RDA. The Price Checker Terminal ("PCT") is a small, customer activated device retailers mount throughout their stores to enable the checking of product prices and frequent-shopper information prior to arriving at the checkout counter by scanning a bar code. This reduces store personnel requirements and improves customer satisfaction. Additionally, as with the RDA, the PCT allows for data collection for use in future customer marketing. The PCT ties directly into any existing in-store network using a number of communications options including radio frequency links, hard-wired network, or TCP/IP Ethernet. The most recent wireless version of the PCT leverages the wireless open standard architecture of IEEE 802.11 to simplify its integration into a wireless open-network environment. Fast and accurate price verification is made possible through use of a Symbol Technologies omni-directional scanner, which provides maximized read rates with minimum delays. Other store-specific applications, such as in-store promotions, printers, and location assistance, can be supported by the PCT. The Micro Kiosk ("MK"), one of the products currently nearing completion, is a family of upright, free standing, in-store customer kiosks that utilize a VGA color display to interact with customers. As with the PCT, the MK ties directly into the existing in-store network through a variety of communications options. Through that link, the MK will provide price checking, in-store advertising, frequent shopper status information, and a store locator. The MK will also allow customers to enter orders for items that store personnel have to retrieve from back rooms. As with the two existing products, another significant feature of the MK is its data collection capability. The features found in the four versions of the MK include operating systems from UniComp's proven, proprietary CTX O/S to embedded Windows NT or Linux, processors as powerful as Intel's Pentium, Symbol Technology scanners, color VGA flat panel screens, spectrum 24 WLAN, printer and touch screen options, and the availability of popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape. The MK is being integrated with a 802.11, 2.4 GHz radio to make it compatible with Symbol, Lucent, and Telxon wireless networks, which is a critical step towards ensuring that those products will be inter-operable with customers' communications infrastructure worldwide and will conform with the differing international radio frequency restrictions. LEGACY TRANSITION AND VERTICAL APPLICATION SOFTWARE IBM AS/400 Systems Management and Legacy Transition Products The Company designs, develops and markets legacy extension software under its UNIBOL brand. UNIBOL36. The UNIBOL36 system rehosts software applications written in RPG or COBOL, and related data, from IBM's System/36 to UNIX or Windows NT systems. UNIBOL400. The UNIBOL400 system rehosts software applications written in RPG or COBOL, and related data, from IBM's AS/400 to UNIX or Windows NTsystems. Advantages of the UNIBOL rehosting solution include: VERSATILITY The UNIBOL36 system enables the migration to open systems of applications software written in either RPG or COBOL languages. The Company currently offers the UNIBOL36 system on most major UNIX or Windows NT platforms, including IBM RS/6000, HP9000, Siemens Nixdorf RM Series, DEC Alpha, Sun SPARCstation, Data General Aviion and Intel/SCO UNIX. 19 The UNIBOL400 system currently supports applications software written in RPG or COBOL. The UNIBOL400 system is currently available on the IBM RS/6000, HP9000, Siemens Nixdorf RM Series, Sun Ultra Sparc and the Data General Aviion UNIX hardware platforms. The Company released a version of UNIBOL400 that supports Windows NT in fiscal year 2000. USER INTERFACE The UNIBOL systems preserve the "look and feel" of the legacy system's user interface, thereby saving businesses that are migrating to a new computing platform substantial retraining, documentation and technical support costs. By enabling the use of a single set of end-user documentation, this feature allows for efficient technical support of software applications running on multiple computing platforms. DEVELOPER INTERFACE The UNIBOL systems offer software developers many System/36-style and AS/400-style development tools, as well as access to native UNIX development facilities. This feature facilitates the transition from a System/36 or AS/400 development environment to a UNIBOL environment on new computing platforms and allows further development of migrated applications software. NATIVE ENVIRONMENT The UNIBOL36 and UNIBOL400 systems are native System/36 and AS/400 application development and execution environments for open systems, essentially replacing the functionality of the proprietary operating system under which the applications software was written. The Company believes that, as a native open-systems environment, the UNIBOL environment generally enables software applications to operate at least as efficiently as under the original proprietary operating system. UniComp's AS/400 systems management product, mAStermind, includes disk management, job scheduling, spool file management, back up/recovery, object auditing, source code management, SMS messaging, and software implementation features, providing a complete systems management tool for AS/400 professionals. Human Resource Management Products UniComp has two human resource management products: PeopleTrack is a workforce management, planning, and scheduling software solution; uniPims HR is a comprehensive human resource management software solution that includes Personnel Management, Attendance Management, and Payroll Management modules. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ("SCADA") Monitoring and Control Product Suite SCADA systems are most commonly used to monitor and control manufacturing plants and equipment. They function by collecting information, transferring it back to a central site, carrying out the necessary analysis and control, and then displaying the results on operator screens. Control of the system may be automatic or can be initiated by operator commands. PROCESS CONTROL, BUSINESS AUTOMATION, AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 20 UniComp offers two products, InFeed 600 and the Mill Wheel System, for companies that manufacture animal and aquaculture feeds, primarily in Europe. InFeed 600 is a Windows NT client server based system that provide complete production management, including process supervision, control, and automation. The Mill Wheel System is an Informix based system operating within a Unix environment that provides a complete, turn key solution for all aspects of the compound feed milling business, from production management through financial reporting. MARKETS RETAIL E-BUSINESS SOLUTIONS E-COMMERCE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The market for UniComp's Retail e-Business Solutions consist of merchants engaged in e-commerce, traditional commerce, or, as is becoming more and more prevalent, both. Continued, rapid growth of the Internet is fueling huge gains in Internet-generated revenues. ActivMedia Research estimates that those revenues will grow from the $38 billion in 1998 to in excess of $225 billion in 2000. Forrester Research predicts that the global Internet economy will reach $6.9 trillion in 2004. UniComp's two primary markets lead the way with North America making up $3.5 trillion and Europe $1.5 trillion of the worldwide total. This expansion of e-commerce will directly impact the markets for UniComp's products. According to Forrester Research, as companies develop their online businesses, packaged e-commerce software spending in the United States alone is anticipated to grow from $3.1 billion in 1999 to $14.5 billion in 2003. UniComp's UPS and IPPS products should participate in that growth. The e-payment, or transaction processing, market will show similarly impressive growth. The Nilson Report expects that the volume of payment card transactions should increase in the United States from 16 billion in 1997 to over 39 billion in 2005. As the volume of transactions grows, the need for complete transaction processing systems such as those offered by UniComp increases in step, and the available recurring transaction processing revenue streams expand as well. The e-commerce explosion also bodes well for the Web site development and Web hosting markets. Web hosting is one of the fastest-growing markets in the information technology industry, according to International Data Corp., with the U.S. market expected to increase 10-fold from the $1.8 billion market in 1999 to almost $19 billion in 2003. ActivMedia Research has determined that Web site development has already become a $10 billion industry, with particularly high growth rates for mid-range and smaller online operations. While the growth in each of the markets above is impressive and promising for each of UniComp's e-commerce products individually, it is UniComp's ability to offer a complete solution, including software, hardware, transaction processing, and web site development and hosting, that will allow UniComp to participate fully in the transition towards an Internet economy. Retail Wireless Devices 21 The current shift towards e-commerce has generated a sense of urgency among traditional retailers to respond to the threat and keep the customers who come through their doors satisfied with the bricks-and-mortar shopping experience. Increasingly, those traditional merchants are learning from their on-line competitors and looking toward technology to deliver some of the same benefits as online shopping. UniComp's Retail Wireless Devices, particularly the Micro Kiosk product line, are some of the solutions those merchants are turning to. The following is from a study of consumers' acceptance of retail technology conducted by the Indiana University Center for Education and Research in Retailing and KPMG's Retail Industry practice. The primary goal of the study was to provide information that would help retailers decide what technologies to implement in their stores. The demographics of the group participating in the summary closely matched those of the population of the United States. "Consumers were very positive about both the product information/ordering and frequent shopper kiosks. On average, 76 percent rated the kiosks as an advantage, 60 percent were more likely to shop at a store with these technologies, and 80 percent expected to use the technologies at least some of the time they shopped. Consumers felt that the product information/ordering kiosk would make shopping faster and easier by helping them find what they wanted and provide detailed/current product information. Shoppers liked the frequent shopper kiosk because it would highlight items that were on special and eliminate the need to clip and carry coupons, thus saving them money. Consumers disliked the prospect of waiting in line to use the machines and recommended that several kiosks be installed in each store to accommodate demand." Retailers worldwide are getting the message that their customers are demanding a better shopping experience, and they are beginning to understand that technology can help them provide such an experience. UniComp's line of Retail Wireless Devices will be one of the solutions those merchants can turn to. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS In December 1998, the Company acquired for approximately $403,000 a United Kingdom company, Carlton Software Productions Limited, which develops, sells and supports IBM AS/400 Systems management software tools. In January 1999, the Company acquired a $.6 million note receivable from Continuum Technology Corporation ("Continuum"). Consideration consisted of $.2 million in cash and accounts receivable of $.4 million. In March 1999, the Company purchased 97.5% of Continuum's outstanding common stock. Consideration consisted of $259,361 in cash, 8% notes payable aggregating $572,128, and 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining 2.5% of Continuum's outstanding common stock was purchased in February, 2000 for $17,800 in cash and 18,953 shares of the Company's common stock. In April, 2000, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of Commitment Software Ltd. a United Kingdom software development company. Consideration consisted of approximately $75,000 in cash and approximately 7,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase agreement provides the Company with the option to acquire the remaining 49% by August 1, 2000 for approximately $75,000. On December 1, 1999, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of the Company's Northern Ireland subsidiary, ICS UniComp Limited, to ZEC Limited. ICS UniComp was an information technology service provider. Consideration consisted of $8.4 million in cash, $0.9 of which was received after year-end following final calculation of certain completion accounts. The assets disposed of included, but were not limited to, plant and machinery and motor vehicles, computer and office equipment, furniture, premises, tradename, and intellectual property rights. Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and all other liabilities as of December 1, 1999 were retained by ICS UniComp Limited. ICS UniComp was one of the ICS 22 Computing Group subsidiaries acquired in 1993. In June 1998, the Company contributed accounts receivable of $.5 million for a 67% ownership in a newly formed entity engaged in retail electronic commerce. In April 1999, the Company sold its ownership percentage to the minority shareholder for a $.7 million note receivable bearing interest at 8.5%. The note is receivable in monthly installments of $5,000-$10,000 per month with a final payment of $240,000 due August 2003. The note is secured by the assets of the venture and the personal guarantee and pledged assets of the purchaser. The gain of $.2 million on the sale will be recognized as cash is received. RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS The following table summarizes the Company's results of continuing operations in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for the three and six months ending August 31, 1999 and 2000.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000. REVENUE Revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2000 decreased to $4.2 compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 1999, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 38.2%. Revenue for the six months ended August 31, 2000 fell to $9.6 million from $13.4 million for the six months ended August 31, 1999, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 28.4%. These decreases are detailed below. EQUIPMENT REVENUE The following table summarizes the revenue generated from sales of computer equipment for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and the comparable period from the prior fiscal year.

The increase in revenue from retail wireless devices and other equipment for both the three and six month periods is due to the continuing strong performance of the Continuum business unit. The decrease in revenue from transaction processing equipment for both the three and six month periods is largely due to the Company's tight cash position. SERVICES REVENUE Revenue from information technology services decreased to $.6 and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000 from $1.6 and $3.3 million for the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $1.0 and $1.8 million or 62.5% and 54.5%. These decreases are primarily due to poor performances by the United Kingdom business units. SOFTWARE REVENUE The following table summarizes the revenue from software licensing and support.

Legacy extension software revenue by major product class is as follows.

Legacy extension software revenue was negatively impacted for both the three and six month periods ending August 31, 2000 by a failed management buy out ("MBO"). Partly as a result of the MBO, the Company has reorganized its UK operations into a single trading entity under new management. The Company expects legacy extension revenues for both the UNIBOL 36 and UNIBOL 400 products to stabilize and begin to ramp up again by the end of the current fiscal year. INTERNATIONAL REVENUE. Revenue from international operations, principally in Northern Ireland, decreased to $1.1 and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000 from $1.9 and $4.9 million for the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year, decreases of $0.8 and $2.3 million or 42% and 47%. These decreases are due to shortfalls in all significant foreign business units. Revenue from domestic operations decreased to $3.2 and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000 from $4.9 and $8.5 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, decreases of $1.7 and $1.5 million, or 34.7% and 17.6%. The decreases are due to shortfalls in transaction processing equipment and legacy extension software sales. GROSS PROFIT. The following table summarizes the Company's gross profit information in dollars and as a percentage of the associated revenues for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000 and the comparable period for the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit margins for equipment and services vary from quarter to quarter depending on customer demands and product mix. Equipment margins in both the three and six month periods shrank due to decreasing margins on sales from the Company's transaction processing business units. SELLING, GENERAL, & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. During the quarter ended August 31, 2000, the Company reorganized several of its business units in an effort to reduce selling, general, and administrative expenses to more reasonable levels in future quarters. Approximately 80 people who were on the Company's payrolls at the beginning of the quarter are no longer employed by the Company as of October 16, 2000. The Company incurred certain costs related to the reduction of head count. An additional $.5 million related to the reduction of head count will be recognized in the third fiscal quarter. Additionally, the Company wrote down the assets of its Australian operation pending disposal, wrote down the net assets of two other inactive operations, and wrote off capitalized software development costs at its transaction processing operation as that company's revenue stream is shifting away from software sales toward 26 transaction processing revenues. The following table summarizes selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2000.

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2000 versus the three months ended August 31, 1999 is primarily due to an increase in the bad debt provision. The $.7 million increase in the six month period is due to increases in the bad debt provision and salaries and a reduction in grant income recognized. OTHER EXPENSES. Interest, the primary component of other expenses, was relatively unchanged for both the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2000 compared with the same periods in the prior fiscal years. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At February 29, 2000, the Company had approximately $3.3 million in cash and equivalents. As of August 31, 2000, the Company's cash balance had been reduced to $392,000, and the lines of credit had increased to $4.2 million from the $3.9 million outstanding at February 29, 2000. This use of cash during the six months ended August 31, 2000 was primarily attributable to the $2.4 million expended to redeem the preferred stock outstanding as of February 29, 2000, with the remainder absorbed by increasing working capital needs. Additionally, the Company's U. S. line of credit is fully utilized and matures October 31, 2000. Management is currently in discussions with the lender and believes these discussions will be successful in securing adequate financing through February 28, 2001. The Company is expecting to collect several large past-due receivables. Should collection of these amounts occur, the Company's working capital situation would be significantly improved. Additionally, the Company is currently exploring several financing alternatives to maintain liquidity and support continuing growth. Those alternatives include combined debt and equity financing, short-term bridge loans from lenders with which the Company has prior experience, increases in the current lines of credit, and equipment financing as an alternative to capital expenditures. While there can be no assurance that any of these alternatives will be successful, Management is confident that it will secure the funding necessary to achieve its growth objectives. If Management is unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain necessary financing, the Company's operations could be severely and negatively impacted. The Company maintains revolving credit facilities which are its primary sources of liquidity. The facilities allow the Company to borrow based on current levels of accounts receivable and inventory and contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, requirements with respect to minimum net worth and debt to net worth ratios. At February 29, 2000 the Company was in default of a covenant under its $3 million United States line of credit. Management is currently in discussions with the lender regarding renewal of the facility. The Company does not have any significant commitments to purchase capital equipment as of August 31, 2000. The Company received grants to fund research and development from the government of Northern Ireland of approximately $0.1 million for each of the six month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. These grants are subject to the legislative rules and regulations of Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom. Management does anticipate that the receipt of grants will decrease in the foreseeable future. 27 The Company believes available credit will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs both on a short and a long-term basis. However, the Company's capital needs will depend on many factors, including the Company's ability to achieve profitable operations, the need to develop and improve products, and various other factors. Depending on its working capital requirements, the Company may seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings in the private or public markets at any time. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing will depend on its results of operations, financial condition and business prospects, as well as conditions then prevailing in the relevant capital markets. There can be no assurance that financing will be available or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE THE PROBLEM REVISITED. The scope of the Year 2000 problem applied to any device, software or firmware that makes references to dates. Specifically it applied to the Real Time Clock (RTC) which stores the year portion of the date in two digit formats (e.g. 98 instead of 1998). Estimates indicated that many computers built prior to 1996 would not switch over correctly from 1999 to 2000. The impact of this would greatly affect any date-sensitive projects such as budgets and financial projections in the forthcoming year. CURRENT STATUS AND OVERALL IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000. UniComp experienced minimal problems to their business through the millennium changeover. All network systems and company data remained intact and unaffected. The Company will continue to monitor their systems and continue to review all information through out the fiscal year. The following table identifies each of the seven phases that were addressed during this project. UniComp completed all phases by the projected date.

CONTINGENCY PLAN. UniComp continues to have a disaster recovery program implemented company wide. Routinely information is backed up to diskette and tape. This regiment incorporates daily, weekly and monthly backups. These backups are divided into on-site (primary) and off-site (secondary) data copies. The secondary copies are archived up to three months and kept in a secure location to help maintain an ongoing disaster recovery program. This methodology of damage control was integrated into UniComp's Year 2000 contingency plan to safeguard all mission critical data. This routine was created to allow 28 information to be transported to various machines should the need arise. COST. The overall cost incurred for activities relating to the Year 2000 issue was not material in amount over the two-year period from 1998 to 1999. Most of the expense would have been considered a part of the ongoing routine of maintenance and upkeep of internal systems. The current infrastructure has a system in place to allocate personnel to perform such tasks. UniComp used internal resources to oversee the most intensive phases of the Year 2000 project. Expense in this area was limited to man hours and personnel expense. In addition, a consultant was hired to help the larger sites in the United Kingdom to transition their systems to millennium compliance. The cost of this course of action was nominal. The cost to replace fully depreciated systems was considered to be a part of normal business operations and not directly related to the Year 2000 issue. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The foregoing contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to quarterly fluctuations in results, the timely availability and customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, general market trends and conditions, and other risks detailed below in "Factors That May Affect Future Results." Actual results may vary materially from projected results. UniComp's domestic and international businesses operate in highly competitive markets that involve a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control. While UniComp is optimistic about its long-term prospects, the following discussion highlights some risks and uncertainties that should be considered in evaluating its future growth prospects. See "Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks" in Part I of this annual report. SUCCESS DEPENDENT ON ABILITY TO COMPETE IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY Our success depends on our ability to compete in an industry that is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. In competing in the information technology industry, we believe the principal competitive factors we face are reputation and quality of service, relative price and performance, technical expertise and product availability. Our competitors in the information technology service market include installation and service organizations within many established companies, computer manufacturers, custom software developers, regional systems integrators, software and hardware distributors, and systems consultants. The market for our platform-migration software is highly competitive as well. We believe that the principal competitive factors in this area include product performance, time to market for new product introductions, adherence to industry standards, price, marketing and distribution resources. The market for our transaction-processing systems is also highly competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in this area include the ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated transaction-processing system, product performance, time to market for new product introductions, adherence to industry standards, price, marketing and distribution resources. Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater competitive resources than ours. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in customer needs or to devote greater resources to sales, marketing and product development. As the markets in which we compete have matured, product price competition has intensified and such intensity will likely continue. Such price competition could adversely affect our results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or new competitors. DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN SALES 29 Any reduction of our international business could significantly affect our revenues. Our revenues from international operations represented from one-third to one-half of our total revenues for fiscal years 1998 through 2000. We expect that our international operations will continue to account for a significant percentage of our total revenues. Certain risks are inherent in international operations, including (1) unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, (2) currency exchange rate fluctuations, (3) changes in trade policy or tariff regulations, (4) customs matters, (5) longer payment cycles, (6) higher tax rates, (7) additional tax withholding requirements, (8) difficulty in enforcing agreements, (9) intellectual property protection difficulties, (10) foreign collection problems, and (11) military, political and transportation obstacles. In addition, foreign operations involve uncertainties arising from local business practices, cultural considerations and international political and trade tensions. Our revenues and expenses are generally denominated in corresponding currencies. As a result, to date we have not hedged against foreign currency exchange rate risks. In the future; however, we may implement hedging techniques with respect to foreign currency transactions. Nevertheless, such hedging activities cannot assure that we could successfully protect ourselves against foreign currency exchange losses or against other international sales risks such as exchange limitations, price controls or other foreign currency restrictions. SUCCESS DEPENDENT ON ABILITY TO ADJUST TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The information technology industry is characterized by rapid technological advances, numerous changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements, which could disrupt our services business and render our products obsolete. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to anticipate and respond to such advances, changes and new product introductions. Our failure to respond could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to the risks generally associated with new product introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in development or failure of products to perform as expected. Many of our software products, including certain e- commerce products and UNIBOL400, have yet to achieve a substantial installed user base. We cannot be certain that these products will ever achieve a substantial market acceptance or user base. Our growth strategy includes using our current business relationships to generate additional revenue by providing other products and services to these clients. POTENTIAL FOR DELAYS IN PRODUCT INTRODUCTION Our delay in any potential product development and introduction may have an adverse effect on the product's success and on our reputation and results of operations. Additionally, competitors may introduce products and gain market share during any such delays. Our failure to introduce new products and product enhancements that are responsive to market conditions and customer requirements may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, our complex software products may contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions are released. We cannot be certain that current or future releases of our products will not contain errors or that any such errors will not result in loss or delay of market acceptance of such products. We have previously experienced delays in developing and introducing new products, and there can be no assurance that we will not experience delays in the future. DISTRIBUTION OF MANAGEMENT OF OVERSEAS OPERATIONS Any significant disruption in the management of our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our headquarters and administrative offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia; however, as of October 16, 2000, approximately 60 of our 140 employees work in our international facilities. This geographical distance, as well as the time- 30 zone difference, can isolate management from operational issues, delay communications and require devotion of a significant amount of time, effort and expense to international travel. In the future, we may face significant management demands associated with our international operations. As a result of the company-wide reorganization and continuing shift in revenues and employees to the United States, the Company's Principal Accounting position has been relocated to the United States. Until an appropriate individual can be identified, the Chief Executive Officer will serve as acting Chief Financial Officer. CHANGES IN OPERATIONS IN NORTHERN IRELAND A significant number of our personnel and operations are located in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland has historically experienced periods of religious, civil and political unrest. Northern Ireland may experience further unrest which could disrupt our ability to provide information technology services and product development programs and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For each of the past three fiscal years, the Northern Ireland government has granted to us approximately $0.4 million to fund our research and development programs. Our use of these funds is subject to various rules and regulations, including the requirement that we repay such funds in the event we remove certain operations from Northern Ireland. We cannot be sure that we will continue to be eligible for or will receive similar grants in the future or, if such grants are received, whether additional restrictions will apply to our use of such funds. RISK OF ACQUISITION PROGRAM To date, our acquisition program has substantially contributed to our growth. We have no assurance that we will complete any future acquisitions or that we will benefit from any completed acquisition in the future. We obtain most of our acquisitions by taking advantage of opportunities that are presented to us. We require significant administrative, operational and financial resources to successfully integrate and manage our diverse businesses. There are numerous operational and financial risks involved in managing acquired businesses, including (1) difficulties in assimilating acquired operations, (2) diversion of management's attention, (3) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (4) increases in administrative costs, (5) additional costs associated with debt or equity financing, and (6) potential loss of key employees or customers of acquired operations. We may not be successful in integrating our current acquisitions or retaining and motivating key personnel of our acquired companies. Our failure to integrate businesses, to expand our acquired customer and technology base and to retain key employees of our acquired companies could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although we currently do not have any understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisition, we anticipate future potential acquisition opportunities. SUCCESS DEPENDENT ON ABILITY TO HIRE AND RETAIN TECHNICAL PERSONNEL AND KEY EMPLOYEES Our success depends in part on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualified managerial, technical and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the technical personnel we require to conduct and expand our operations successfully. Our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to attract, hire, train and retain qualified personnel. Our success also depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our management team. The loss of any member of the management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We do not have any employment or noncompete agreements with any of our executive officers. 31 UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE RESULTS It is difficult to accurately forecast revenues from our software products and services because of (1) the evolving product lifecycle of the UNIBOL36 product, (2) the recent introductions of the UNIBOL400 product and (3) the recent acquisitions of our retail e-business companies. In addition, although our service revenues are more predictable than our product revenues, unexpected variations in job pricing and complexity could have an adverse effect on the profitability of customer service projects. We base our expense levels, which are relatively fixed in the short term, in significant part on our expectations of future product revenues and service demands. If demand for our products and services is below expectations, our results of operations could be adversely affected. DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY Much of our future success depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely principally on trade secret and copyright law, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other contractual arrangements, to protect such proprietary technology. We are not certain that such measures will be adequate to protect our technologies from infringement by others or that we will be effective in preventing misappropriation of our proprietary rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS Our executive officers and directors and their affiliates beneficially hold an aggregate of approximately 18 % of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, these shareholders, acting together, may be able to exert significant influence on many matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors. INABILITY TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE We have no assurance that we will be able to collect all of our accounts receivable. Our worldwide customer base of trade accounts receivable is generally diversified with respect to credit risks due to the large number of such accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations on certain of our customers' financial conditions, but we generally do not require collateral to support customer receivables. We establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. We cannot be sure that our procedures will identify all potential uncollectible accounts in a timely manner, therefore, we may have to make additional significant adjustments to our allowance for uncollectible accounts from time to time. OPERATING RESULTS DEPENDENT ON PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Our continued success depends on our ability to develop, produce and transition technologically complex and innovative products that meet customer needs. Inherent in this process are various risks that we must manage to achieve favorable operating results. The process of developing new high technology products is complex and uncertain, requiring innovative designs and features that anticipate customer needs and technological trends. The products, once developed, must be manufactured and distributed in sufficient volumes at acceptable costs to meet demand. The development of such products involves risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to risk of product demand, market acceptance, economic conditions, competitive products and pricing, commercialization, technology, and other risks. Our business is also subject to national and worldwide economic and political influences such as recession, political instability, economic strength of governments, and rapid change in technology. Additionally, we are experiencing increasing competition in our products and services businesses, and there can be no assurance that our current products or services will remain competitive or that our development efforts will produce products with the cost and performance characteristics necessary to remain competitive. 32 ESTIMATES CONTAINED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period as well. For example, our estimates affect estimated useful lives, amortization expense, carrying values, accrued reserves, and estimates to complete fixed price contracts. Changes in the status of certain matters or facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes to these estimates, and actual results could differ from these estimates. VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE Our stock price is subject to significant volatility and will likely be adversely affected if revenues or earnings in any quarter fail to meet the investment community's expectations. Additionally, the market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to (1) announcements of new products or services offered by us or our competitors, (2) loss of key customer, distributor or vendor relationships, (3) general conditions in the computer software industry, or (4) other events or factors. Furthermore, in recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for shares of stock in technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price fluctuations. Such fluctuations could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock in the future. ANTITAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN CHARTER PROVISIONS Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to five million shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of UniComp without further action by the shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. Furthermore, certain provisions of our charter documents may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management of UniComp, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the common stock. NO DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK We have not paid any cash dividends on the common stock since our inception and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The principal market risks to which the Company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. The Company's international revenues, which accounted for 39% of the 33 Company's total revenues in 2000 are concentrated in the United Kingdom. The Company manages its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates by entering into revenue and expense transactions in corresponding currencies. As a result, today the Company has not hedged against foreign currency exchange risk. The Company reduces its exposure to changes in interest rates by maintaining a high proportion of its debt in fixed-rate instruments. As of August 31, 2000, 27.4% of the Company's total debt was in fixed-rate instruments. The Company has a revolving line of credit that provides for borrowings by the Company of up to $3.0 million, which is fully utilized as of August 31. The Company also has a UK revolving line of credit that is currently being re-negotiated with the UK lender. There is no current availability on that facility as of August 31. The borrowings bear interest at a variable rate of the UK bank's base lending rate plus 1.75% or the 30 day commercial paper rate plus 3.0%. In addition, the Company maintains an average maturity of its short-term investment portfolio under twelve months to avoid large changes in its market value. As of August 31, 2000, the average maturity of the Company's short-term investments was less than one month. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEMS 4 AND 5 ARE NOT APPLICABLE. ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company does not believe that there are any pending or threatened legal proceedings other than non-material legal proceedings incidental to the Company's business, that if adversely determined, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS (a) On October 6, 1998, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation ("Articles of Amendment") of the Company designating 3,600 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value, of which 600 shares may be issued only as dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on October 7, 1998. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to the Common Stock, now or hereafter issued, as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding upon the Company; (ii) senior to any additional series of the class of Preferred Stock which series the Company's Board of Directors may from time to time authorize, both as to payment of dividends and as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up the Company; and (iii) senior to any additional class of preferred stock (or series of preferred stock of such class) which the Board of Directors or the stockholders may from time to time authorize in accordance with the Articles of Amendment. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for such purpose, dividends at the rate of $50.00 per annum per share, which are fully cumulative, shall accrue without interest (except for dividends in arrears) from the date of original issuance of each share and are payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year commencing December 15, 1998. Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be paid in cash, or subject to certain limitations, dividends of additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company has certain mandatory redemption obligations if certain events occur, such as 34 upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if the shares of Common Stock of the Company to be issue would exceed 1,576,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company also has certain optional redemption rights. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may at any time on or after January 5, 1999 convert all or from time to time any part of such holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company and such other securities and property pursuant to the conversion formula set forth in the Articles of Amendment. However, absent shareholder approval, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is 1,576,000. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matter. (b) None. (c) On September 30, 1998, the Company issued warrants for 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to an "accredited investor" as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The warrants entitled the holders thereof to, upon exercise, purchase an aggregate of 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. This transaction was exempt from the registration provisions of the Act, pursuant to section 4(2) of the Act for transactions not involving a public offering, based on the fact that the securities were offered and sold to one investor who had access to financial and other relevant data concerning the Company, its financial condition, business, and assets.
