OFFICIAL PAYMENTS CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES THE COMPANY Official Payments Corporation (the "Company") is a leading provider of electronic payment options to government entities, enabling consumers to use their credit cards and "pin-less" debit cards to pay, by the Internet or the telephone, personal federal and state income taxes, sales and use taxes, property taxes, tuition payments, motor vehicle fees, fines for traffic violations and parking citations and other government-imposed taxes and fees. The Company commenced operations on June 26, 1996, initially offering its credit card payment services for the payment of fines for traffic violations and parking citations and property taxes. In 1998, the Company signed a contract with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and in 1999 began providing its services for the balance-due payment of personal federal incomes taxes. In 2000, the Company extended its contract with the IRS, adding two additional payment services, extension and estimated personal federal income taxes. For the 2001 tax filing season, the IRS further extended its contract with the Company, authorizing the Company to add an Internet payment option to its existing automated interactive voice response telephone ("IVR") payment option for balance-due, extension, and estimated personal federal income taxes. On August 1, 2001, the Company announced that the IRS further expanded the scope of its agreement with the Company to include two additional credit card payment categories: current-year delinquent tax payments and installment tax payments. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, are unaudited. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of June 30, 2001 and for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These condensed financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the year ending December 31, 2001. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS As of June 30, 2001, the Company had short-term investments of $53.7 million. The Company classifies its short-term investments as "available-for-sale." Financial instruments classified as short-term investments include government securities and commercial paper (with a Standard and Poor's rating of A-1 or better), with maturity dates of generally less than nine months. Such short-term investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses, which are de minimus for all periods presented, recorded (net of tax) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) The Company has no components of other comprehensive income (loss). STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In the third and fourth quarters of 1999, the Company recorded on its balance sheet an amount representing the intrinsic value of the common stock underlying options granted to certain officers and employees of the Company in August, September, and November of 1999 in excess of the exercise prices of those options. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded on its balance sheet deferred stock-based compensation totaling $633,000 representing the fair value of restricted shares of common stock granted to employees as performance-based awards and also in replacement of, and in exchange for cancelled, unvested stock options with exercise prices in excess of the current market value at the time of grant. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company fully amortized the $19.8 million deferred stock-based compensation for employee stock options and restricted shares of common stock that became fully vested, pursuant to the terms of the Company's stock incentive plans, as a result of Comerica Incorporated's acquisition of Imperial Bancorp, the parent of the Company's majority controlling stockholder, which constituted a change of control of the Company. Prior to the Comerica/Imperial transaction, the Company expected to amortize the deferred stock-based compensation charge over the next six consecutive quarters through the second quarter of 2002. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenues are derived primarily from convenience fees paid by consumers for credit card payment services provided by the Company. Convenience fees are charged based on the amount of the payment processed and the type of government obligation being paid. Revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. The revenues are presented net of a sales and return allowance made when the collection of the amount is not reasonably assured but is estimated and established in the period in which the services are provided. ADVERTISING EXPENSE The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Such costs are included in sales and marketing expense on the condensed statement of operations and totaled approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and $2.9 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the year 2000, the Company entered into cooperative advertising agreements with two of its credit card partners, where such credit card companies contributed an aggregate of $515,000 to the Company for use in the Company's 2001 advertising campaign. The Company considered these funds as a reimbursement of costs incurred and netted the proceeds against sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Note 2. NET LOSS PER SHARE Net loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, potential common shares from options to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method. Net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 does not include the effect of approximately 7,092,600 and 6,200,098 options to purchase common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $5.47 and $4.48 per share, respectively, because the effects are anti-dilutive. Note 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company has adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," which requires that certain costs for the development of internal use software be capitalized, including costs of coding, software configuration, upgrades and enhancements. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and fiscal year 2000, the Company capitalized approximately $5.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of its internally developed web site. Certain computer equipment, software and office equipment are recorded under capital leases that aggregated $1,588,000 as of June 30, 2001 and 2000. Accumulated depreciation on the assets recorded under capital leases aggregated $764,000 and $262,000 as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Depreciation expense was $1,361,000 and $619,000 as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which included depreciation expense for assets under capital leases of $251,000 and $200,000 as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Note 4. AMORTIZATION OF DEFERRED STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Deferred stock-based compensation included as a component of stockholders equity is non-cash and has been presented, when amortized, as a separate component of operating expense in the Company's statement of operations. The following table shows the costs (in thousands) of such charges as allocated to sales and marketing, development costs and general and administrative expenses, which allocation is based on the functional responsibilities of the underlying employees:

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company fully amortized the remaining $19.8 million of deferred stock-based compensation for employee stock options that became fully vested as a result of Comerica Incorporated's acquisition of Imperial Bancorp, the parent of the Company's majority controlling stockholder, which constituted a change in control of the Company. Note 5. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET Other income (expense), net, consists of the following (in thousands):

Note 6. CONCENTRATION OF REVENUES For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, convenience fees from tax payments to the IRS accounted for approximately 79% and 74% of the Company's total revenues. This is comparable to the three and six months ended June 20, 2000, when the convenience fees from tax payments to the IRS accounted for approximately 85% and 80% of the Company's total revenues. The Company's current agreement with the IRS (which expires in January 2003) authorizes the Company to collect credit card payments for balance due, estimated and extension taxes and, beginning in 2002, current-year delinquent tax and installment tax payments. Note 7. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in a single operating segment within the United States of America. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker because he has final authority over resource allocation decisions and performance assessment. The CEO reviews revenues by product for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The financial information reviewed by the CEO is consistent with the information presented in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The information in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such as "may", "will", "should", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", "continue", "strategy", "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects", "intends", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current economic environment and current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to statements regarding the Company's competitive position, expected operating and financial performance, business model and expected growth of electronic payments to government entities. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based upon information available to the Company as of the date hereof. You are cautioned that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. The Company's actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those anticipated in, or caused by, any forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, major systems failures, constraints in capacity, rapid technological changes, ability to retain existing government contracts and enter into new government contracts, competitive nature of the market in which the Company competes, pricing pressures, changes in laws and regulations (including changes in the ability or predisposition of government entities to accept directly payments by credit card), the continued development of the Company's products, and the lack of widespread market acceptance of the Company's products. A more complete description of these and other risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's business can be found in the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Overview The Company is a leading provider of electronic payment options to government entities, enabling consumers to use their credit cards and "pin-less" debit cards to pay, by the Internet or the telephone, personal federal and state income taxes, sales and use taxes, property taxes, tuition payments, motor vehicles fees, fines for traffic violations and parking citations and other government-imposed taxes and fees. As of June 30, 2001, the Company offered approximately 1,493 services to approximately 910 government entities, including the IRS for whom the Company accepted via the Internet and telephone balance-due and estimated tax payments for the 2000 tax year, as well as estimated payments for the 2001 tax year. The Company's most recent contract with the IRS had an initial one-year term, with the IRS having the option to renew the contract for one additional year (i.e., through January 2003). The IRS exercised this renewal option in March 2001. On August 1, 2001, the Company announced that the IRS further expanded the scope of its agreement with the Company to include two additional credit card payment categories: current-year delinquent tax payments and installment tax payments. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, convenience fees from tax payments to the IRS accounted for approximately 79% and 74% of the Company's total revenues. If the IRS does not continue to select the Company's services in subsequent years, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company would be materially and adversely affected. As of June 30, 2001, the Company was providing its payment services to the District of Columbia, as well as the states of Alabama, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In addition, as of June 30, 2001, the Company had entered into agreements to provide its services for the following states: Arkansas, Washington and West Virginia. The Company's revenues consist primarily of convenience fees, which are transaction fees paid by consumers for using the Company's credit card payment services. For processing many payments (including personal federal and state income tax payments, sales and use tax payments and property tax payments), the amount of the convenience fee charged varies based on the specific amount of the government obligation. For processing other types of payments (including fines for traffic violations and parking citations), the amount of the convenience fee charged is fixed, regardless of the specific amount of the government obligation. Total revenues have increased significantly since the Company started providing services in January 1999 for personal federal income tax payments. The Company's primary cost of revenues is the merchant discount fees paid to its credit card processors, which is a function of the total amount paid by the consumer, the specific credit card used and the type of transaction. The Company also incurs telecommunications costs and IVR license royalty fees through its telephone conduit and third party technology license fees for payments completed via the Company's Internet conduit. Operating expenses include sales and marketing expenses, development costs, general and administrative expenses, depreciation expenses, amortization of deferred stock-based compensation, and severance and other related charges. The largest component of these expenses, amortization of deferred stock-based compensation, amounted to approximately $19.8 million for the six months ending June 30, 2001. In January 2001, the company completely amortized the deferred stock-based compensation for employee stock options that became fully vested as a result of Comerica Incorporated's acquisition of Imperial Bancorp, the parent of the Company's majority controlling stockholder, which constituted a change of control of the Company. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising expenses and salaries and commissions for sales and marketing personnel. Development costs consist primarily of salaries for engineering personnel. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other compensation expense for executive, finance, customer service and administrative personnel. The Company has incurred significant losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes that further reductions in its operating losses are contingent upon its ability to increase consumer adoption rates of its services and to obtain lower merchant discount fees charged by the credit card companies. In addition, the Company is continuing to examine additional ways to improve the Company's internal operating efficiencies in order to reduce costs. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $69.2 million. RECENT EVENTS On August 7, 2001, Vernon Loucks Jr. resigned as a director of the Company for personal reasons unrelated to the Company. On August 1, 2001, the Company announced that the IRS has authorized the Company to collect credit card payments in two new categories: current-year delinquent tax payments and installment tax payments. Commencing on May 1, 2002, individual taxpayers who receive delinquent balance-due return payment notices from the IRS for taxes owed for tax year 2001 will have the option of using the Company's services to make such payments. In addition, beginning January 11, 2002, individual taxpayers who have installment agreements with the IRS for tax years 1998 though 2001 will be able to use the Company's services to make their installment payments by credit card. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company's adoption did not have any effect on our financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations" (FAS 141), and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). FAS 141 requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited. FAS 141 also provides new criteria to determine whether an acquired intangible asset should be recognized separately from goodwill. Upon adoption of FAS 142, amortization of existing goodwill would cease and the remaining book value would be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level using a new two-step impairment test. Amortization of goodwill recorded on equity investments would also cease, but this embedded goodwill will continue to be tested for impairment under current accounting rules for equity investments. In addition, the Company will have adjustments to the equity in net income of affiliates line item to reflect the impact of adopting these new statements on the operations of our equity investments. The Company will adopt both statements on January 1, 2002 and Company does not have any goodwill as of June 30, 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods illustrated, certain statement of operations data expressed as a percentage of total revenues. The data has been derived from the unaudited financial statements contained in this report, which in management's opinion, have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods presented. The operating results for any period should not be considered indicative of the results for any future period. This information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this report, as well as the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 REVENUES Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased $2.1 million to $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 12%. This increase is primarily attributable to two factors. First, compared to the year prior period, the Company processed an increased amount of federal balance-due, extension and estimated income tax payments and state income and sales and use tax payments. Second, additional state and local clients and services added by the Company between June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001, resulted in increased revenues from the processing of additional state and local taxes. These two factors were partially offset by a decrease in the average convenience fee rate charged for federal and state income and sales and use taxes compared to the year prior period. Federal Transaction Fees. Federal transaction revenues consist of fees earned in connection with processing payments related to personal federal balance-due, extension and estimated income taxes. Federal transaction fees increased $500,000 to $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 4%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the growth in payments processed of 15% over the prior year period. This was largely offset by a decrease of 9% in the average convenience fee rate charged from 2.76% of the dollar amount processed for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to 2.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company processed approximately 179,000 transactions totaling $627.6 million, compared to approximately 164,000 transactions totaling $545.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Federal transaction fees represented 79% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 85% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000. State Transaction Fees. Revenues from processing state payments are related to state income tax payments for balance-due, extension, and estimated personal income taxes and sales and use tax payments to the District of Columbia and the states of Alabama, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Wisconsin. State transaction fees increased $1.1 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 81%. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company processed approximately 82,000 transactions totaling $94.2 million, compared to approximately 36,900 transactions totaling $46.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in revenues is primarily related to growth in existing government client collections, additional state contracts, and additional payment services and options provided to existing state clients. The Company processed income tax payments for 15 states (and the District of Columbia) during the three months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to six states (and the District of Columbia) during the three months ended June 30, 2000. On average, during the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company charged consumers a convenience fee equal to 2.5% of the dollar amount of the payment for processing state income and sales and use taxes, as compared to a 2.9% convenience fee in the three months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 14%. State transaction fees represented 12% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 7% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Local Transaction Fees. Revenues from processing local payments consist of property taxes, traffic violations, parking citations, fax filing, utility payments, and other miscellaneous payments. Local transaction fees increased $500,000 to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 36%. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company processed approximately 176,000 transactions totaling $64.9 million, compared to approximately 133,000 transactions totaling $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from processing property tax payments increased $313,000 to $982,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $669,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 47%. Revenues from processing fines for traffic violations increased $19,000 to $378,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $359,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 5%. Revenues from processing fines for parking citations increased $17,000 to $125,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 16%. Revenues from other transaction fees increased $105,000 to $235,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $130,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 81%. Additional property tax, moving violation, and parking citation clients and growth in existing government client collections contributed to the increase in local transaction fees. Local transaction fees represented 9% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 8% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000. COST AND EXPENSES Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $2.9 million to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 21%. The largest component of cost of revenues, merchant discount fees, increased $3.2 million to $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 23%. The cost of Internet and telecommunication charges for the Company's Internet and IVR systems decreased $191,000 to $327,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 37%. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower rates negotiated with one of the Company's telecommunications carriers and a higher percentage of transactions processed through the Company's Internet platform, which involves a lower cost per transaction than the IVR. Other cost of transaction fees decreased $36,000 to $81,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $117,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Cost of revenues was 87% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 80% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $100,000 to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This was primarily a result of a decrease in advertising expense of $100,000 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, due to the cooperative advertising agreement the Company entered into with its credit card partners for an aggregate amount of $515,000. Sales and marketing expenses represented 13% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Development Costs. Development costs increased $535,000 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $522,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in engineering personnel and related salary costs. Development costs represented 5% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $400,000 to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses represented 12% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Depreciation. Depreciation and amortization increased $478,000 to $907,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $429,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily related to the purchase of computer equipment and software in connection with adding functionality to the Company's Web site. Depreciation and amortization represented 5% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation. The Company did not have any amortization of deferred stock-based compensation during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The Company fully amortized the remaining $19.8 million of deferred stock-based compensation in January 2001, when the employee stock options (for which the original expense charge had been taken) became fully vested as a result of Comerica Incorporated's acquisition of Imperial Bancorp, the parent of the Company's majority controlling stockholder, (thereby effectuating a change in control of the Company). Prior to the Comerica/Imperial transaction, the Company expected to amortize the deferred stock-based compensation charge over the next six consecutive quarters through the second quarter of 2002. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation represented 17% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Severance and other related charges. The Company did not have any severance and other related charges during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The severance and other related charges during the second quarter of 2000 related to the departure of the Company's former Chief Financial Officer. OTHER INCOME, NET Other income, net, consists of interest income, interest expense and other non-operating expenses. Other income, net, decreased by $289,000 to $711,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $1.0 million in other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease is directly related to lower interest income resulting from lower average cash balances and lower average interest rate earned during the recent period, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2000. COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 REVENUES Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased $3.8 million to $23.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 19%. This increase is primarily attributable to two factors. First, compared to the year prior period, the Company processed an increased amount of federal balance-due, extension and estimated income tax payments and state income and sales and use tax payments. Second, additional state and local clients and services added by the Company between June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001, resulted in increased revenues from the processing of additional state and local taxes. These two factors were partially offset by a decrease in the average convenience fee rate charged for federal and state income and sales and use taxes compared to the year prior period. Federal Transaction Fees. Federal transaction revenues consist of fees earned in connection with processing payments related to personal federal balance-due, extension and estimated income taxes. Federal transaction fees increased $1.6 million to $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 11%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the growth in payments processed of 23% over the prior year period. This was largely offset by a decrease of 9.8% in the average convenience fee rate charged from 2.76% of the dollar amount processed for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to 2.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company processed approximately 198,000 transactions totaling $692.3 million, compared to approximately 175,000 transactions totaling $564.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Federal transaction fees represented 74% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 80% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000. State Transaction Fees. Revenues from processing state payments are related to state income tax payments for balance-due, extension, and estimated personal income taxes and sales and use tax payments to the District of Columbia and the states of Alabama, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Wisconsin. State transaction fees increased $1.3 million to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 79%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company processed approximately 98,000 transactions totaling $112.9 million, compared to approximately 44,900 transactions totaling $55.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in revenues is primarily related to growth in existing government client collections, additional state contracts, and additional payment services and options provided to existing state clients. The Company processed income tax payments for 15 states (and the District of Columbia) during the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to six states (and the District of Columbia) during the six months ended June 30, 2000. On average, during the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company charged consumers a convenience fee equal to 2.5% of the dollar amount of the payment for processing state income and sales and use taxes, as compared to a 2.9% convenience fee in the six months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 12%. State transaction fees represented 12% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 8% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Local Transaction Fees. Revenues from processing local payments consist of property taxes, traffic violations, parking citations, fax filing, utility payments, and other miscellaneous payments. Local transaction fees increased $1.0 million to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 45%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company processed approximately 330,000 transactions totaling $102.0 million, compared to approximately 239,000 transactions totaling $70.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from processing property tax payments increased $623,000 to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $977,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 64%. Revenues from processing fines for traffic violations increased $72,000 to $752,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $680,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 11%. Revenues from processing fines for parking citations increased $65,000 to $272,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $207,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 31%. Revenues from other transaction fees increased $196,000 to $449,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $253,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 77%. Additional property tax, moving violation, and parking citation clients and growth in existing government client collections contributed to the increase in local transaction fees. Local transaction fees represented 14% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 12% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000. COST AND EXPENSES Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $4.2 million to $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 27%. The largest component of cost of revenues, merchant discount fees, increased $4.7 million to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 32%. The cost of Internet and telecommunication charges for the Company's Internet and IVR systems decreased $323,000 to $590,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $913,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 35%. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower rates negotiated with one of the Company's telecommunications carriers, one time installation charges that were incurred in February 2000, and a higher percentage of transactions processed through the Company's Internet platform, which involves a lower cost per transaction than the IVR. Other cost of transaction fees decreased $51,000 to $122,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $173,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cost of revenues was 86% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 80% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.9 million to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This was primarily a result of a decrease in advertising expense of $1.9 million from $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, due to the cooperative advertising agreement the Company entered into with its credit card partners for an aggregate amount of $515,000. Sales and marketing expenses represented 21% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Development Costs. Development costs increased $1.1 million to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in engineering personnel and related salary costs. Development costs represented 9% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $600,000 to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses represented 19% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Depreciation. Depreciation and amortization increased $742,000 to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $619,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily related to the purchase of computer equipment and software in connection to adding functionality to the Company's Web site. Depreciation and amortization represented 6% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation increased $13.6 million to $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily caused by the full amortization of the $19.8 million deferred stock-based compensation for employee stock options (for which the original expense charge had been taken) that became fully vested as a result of Comerica Incorporated's acquisition of Imperial Bancorp, the parent of the Company's majority controlling stockholder, (thereby effectuating a change in control of the Company). Prior to the Comerica/Imperial transaction, the Company expected to amortize the deferred stock-based compensation charge over the next six consecutive quarters through the second quarter of 2002. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation represented 85% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Severance and other related charges. The Company did not have any severance and other related charges during the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The severance and other related charges during the first half of 2000 related to the departure of the Company's former Chief Financial Officer. OTHER INCOME, NET Other income, net, consists of interest income, interest expense and other non-operating expenses. Other income, net, decreased by $500,000 to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $2.2 million in other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease is directly related to lower interest income resulting from lower average cash balances and lower average interest rate earned during the recent period, as compared to the first half of fiscal year 2000. INCOME TAXES The Company has incurred operating losses during the period from its incorporation on September 30, 1999 through June 30, 2001. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of net deferred tax assets, since the future realization of the tax benefit is not assured. Prior to September 30, 1999, the Company was a California limited liability company. Therefore, all tax operating losses were used by the members of the limited liability company on their respective corporate tax returns. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In November 1999, the Company completed the initial public offering of its common stock and realized net proceeds from the offering of approximately $78.7 million. Prior to the offering the Company had financed its operations through private sales of common stock, with net proceeds of $1.2 million, and through bank and shareholder loans. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $58.8 million in cash and short term investments, and $52.3 million in working capital. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.6 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily attributable to the Company's net loss offset by non-cash operating expenses (such as amortization of deferred stock-based compensation and depreciation) and a decrease in accounts receivable, and an increase in funds due to government clients. The cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily attributable to the Company's net loss offset by non-cash operating expenses (such as amortization of deferred stock-based compensation and depreciation) and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash provided from investing activities was $5.5 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In 2001, the Company increased its capital expenditures to continue building its Internet platform to process federal, state and local payments via the Internet. This was offset by the sale of short-term investments. In 2000, the Company increased its IVR equipment purchases to add significant capacity to process the higher volume of federal and state tax payments in April 2000 and future periods. These expenditures were offset by the sale of short-term investments during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $421,000 and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The cash generated in the six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily related to the exercise of stock options by the Company's employees. The cash generated in the first six months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily related to the exercise of stock options by one of the Company's directors and borrowings against a sale-leaseback agreement for IVR equipment. These cash inflows were offset by the repayment of capital lease obligations. The Company believes that its current cash resources will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditures for the next two years. The Company's capital and liquidity requirements depend on, and may be materially and adversely by, numerous factors, including: consumer utilization of its services, merchant discount fees charged by credit card companies, economic conditions impacting the Company's revenue generation, its resources that the Company devotes to developing, marketing, selling and supporting its services, the resources the Company commits to technological development and infrastructure and the cost of investment in complementary businesses, technologies, or other strategic business transactions. SEASONALITY AND FLUCTUATION OF QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company has generally experienced fiscal quarter over fiscal quarter revenue growth with some seasonal fluctuations, primarily in the second quarter. The fiscal quarter over fiscal quarter revenue growth is due to an increase in the number of government clients and payment services and an increase in utilization rates. The large increase in revenues in the second quarter is due to processing personal federal and state balance-due income tax payments in the month of April. The Company expects that results for the second quarter of future years will continue to be impacted by the April 15 deadline for paying personal federal and state income taxes. In addition, the Company's revenues are also impacted by the timing of federal and state estimated personal income tax payments (which are made quarterly) and local property tax payments (which are made only once or twice per year in many jurisdictions). The Company has continued to incur operating expenses, which are not classified as cost of revenues, as a result of increased marketing, technological and other infrastructure costs associated with the growth in the Company's government client base and transaction volume. Such expenses are not expected to increase significantly and may actually decrease in future quarters as the Company realizes efficiencies from its operating infrastructure. However, if the Company is unable to control the growth of such costs in any upcoming quarters or if revenues in any quarter do not increase correspondingly with increases in operating expenses, the Company's results for that quarter would be materially and adversely affected. For the foregoing reasons, the Company believes that comparisons of its quarterly operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that the Company's operating results in any particular quarter should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative of future performance. In addition, it is possible that in some future quarters the Company's operating results will be below the expectations of research analyst and investors, and in that case, the price of the Company's common stock is likely to decline. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investment portfolio. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The primary objective of the Company's investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in widely diversified investments, consisting primarily of investment grade securities. Due to the nature of the Company's investments, the Company believes that there is no material risk exposure. All investments are carried at market value, which approximates cost. The table below represents principal amounts and related weighted-average interest rates by year of maturity for the Company's investment portfolio.

CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On November 29, 1999, the Company completed the initial public offering of its common stock. The managing underwriters in the offering were Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette, CIBC World Markets and DLJdirect Inc. The shares of the common stock sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-87325). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective on November 22, 1999. The offering commenced on November 23, 1999 and was completed on November 29, 1999 after the Company had sold all of the 5,750,000 shares of common stock registered under the Registration Statement (including 750,000 shares sold in connection with the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option). The initial public offering price was $15.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds from the initial public offering of $86.2 million. The Company paid a total of $6.0 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $1.5 million has been incurred for costs and expenses related to the offering. None of the costs and expenses related to the offering were paid directly or indirectly to any director or officer of the Company or their associates, persons owning 10 percent or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or an affiliate of the Company. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the estimated net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $78.7 million. The net offering proceeds have been used to make the following payments: approximately $2.0 million for the purchase and installation of computer equipment to expand transaction processing capabilities; approximately $5.4 million to add capacity, new features and additional security and privacy measures to its Web site; approximately $1.5 million for the build-out of the Company's headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut and expansion of its leased office space in San Ramon, California; and approximately $8.1 million for direct marketing and promotional activities. Except for $135,000 and $151,000 paid to Imperial Bank in 2000 and 1999, respectively, for the provision of certain general administrative services, none of these costs or expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any director or officer of the Company or their associates, persons owning 10 percent or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or an affiliate of the Company.
