See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. 4 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED ------------------------------- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The Company has announced its intent to spin-off its eCommerce business segment, encompassed in the newly formed Global Payments Inc. subsidiary, into a separate publicly traded company with its own management and Board of Directors to permit it to increase focus on its core businesses. The financial statements included herein are based on the Company's current structure, not the post spin-off structure. This spin-off is planned to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2001. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 the Company decided to pursue the divestiture of its Physician and Hospital Support Services ("PHSS") business and, subsequently, to place this business into a discontinued operations category in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations". As a result, all prior periods have been restated to reflect the discontinued operations accounting treatment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company completed the sale of these and other related management services businesses. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company also merged its pharmacy systems business activity with another company so as to leverage the combined product development and distribution of its systems to the pharmacy market. The financial statements included herein have been prepared by National Data Corporation (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2000 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for such interim periods. 5 NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding during the period and the impact of securities that, if exercised, and convertible debt, if converted, would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. All options with an exercise price less than the average market share price for the period generally are assumed to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (In thousands, except per share data):
Three Months Ended (Before Discontinued Operations) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 31, 2000 August 31, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Shares Per Share Income Shares Per Share ------ ------ --------- ------ ------ --------- Basic EPS: Income before discontinued operations $16,180 32,886 $ 0.49 $20,837 33,876 $ 0.62 ========= ========== Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock Options --- 659 --- 1,389 ------------------------ -------------------- 16,180 33,545 20,837 35,265 Convertible debt 1,195 2,752 1,195 2,752 ------------------------ -------------------- Diluted EPS: Income available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions $17,375 36,297 $ 0.48 $22,032 38,017 $ 0.58 =============================================================================== Three Months Ended (After Discontinued Operations) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 31, 2000 August 31, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Shares Per Share Income Shares Per Share ------ ------ --------- ------ ------ --------- Basic EPS: Net income $16,180 32,886 $ 0.49 $ 4,937 33,876 $ 0.15 ========= ========== Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock Options --- 659 --- 1,389 ------------------------ -------------------- 16,180 33,545 4,937 35,265 Convertible debt 1,195 2,752 --- --- ------------------------ -------------------- Diluted EPS: Net Income available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions $17,375 36,297 $ 0.48 $ 4,937 35,265 $ 0.14 ===============================================================================
For the three months ended August 31, 1999, convertible debt had an antidilutive effect on diluted earnings per share after discontinued operations; accordingly, diluted earnings per share was not adjusted for convertible debt. 6 NOTE 3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION: The segment information for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 is presented below. The Company classifies its businesses into two fundamental segments: NDC Health and Global Payments (formerly known as NDC's eCommerce segment). Additionally, the All Other and Corporate category is comprised mostly of unallocated direct corporate operations. There has been no change in the composition of the reportable segments from the presentation of fiscal year 2000 segment information included in the Company's most recent Report on Form 10-K. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and restructuring and impairment charges. This statistic and its results as a percentage of revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, management believes this statistic is a relevant measurement and provides a comparable cash earnings measure, excluding the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, potential timing differences associated with capital expenditures and the related depreciation charges, non-recurring, restructuring and impairment charges.

7 NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES AND OTHER UNUSUAL EXPENSES: During the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company updated its NDC Health strategy. This included management's evaluation of the Company's current product and service offerings in light of changing market and technological environments. The decision was made to focus management attention on the core point of service systems, value added network, and information management and related Internet initiatives. Accordingly, actions were initiated on non-core products and services which included acceleration of clearing house integration, consolidation of locations, associated staff and expense reductions, and elimination of obsolete and redundant product and service offerings. Total charges related to the restructuring and asset impairment were $34.4 million. Of this total, approximately $10.5 million were cash items that were accrued at the time the charges were incurred. In addition, the Company expects additional charges will be incurred during the next three to six months as additional actions are finalized and implemented. As of August 31, 2000, $4.0 million of the cash portion of the restructuring charges remains accrued as a current liability and $1.8 million is accrued as a long-term liability in the respective liabilities sections of the balance sheet as follows: (in thousands) Original Payments Long- Total To Date Current Term - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Closed or planned closings of facilities $ 6,100 $ 2,197 $ 2,078 $ 1,820 Estimated costs for settlements on contracts 2,236 498 1,738 - Severance and related costs 2,177 2,037 145 - ----------------------------------------- Total $10,513 $ 4,732 $ 3,961 $ 1,820 ========================================= 8 NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company took action on a formal plan to divest non-core units that were acquired through the PHSS acquisition in December 1997. Thus, the decision was made to move to divest the line of business and account for it as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, " Reporting the Results of Operations". Accordingly, results of these operations have been classified as discontinued and prior periods have been restated. The Company successfully completed the sale of these and other related management services businesses for total cash consideration of $20 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The operating results of the discontinued operations for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 are summarized as follows: (In thousands, except per share data): 2000 1999 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $ 21,905 $ 28,179 Operating income (loss) 168 (3,375) Loss from operations, net of tax - (2,140) ----------------------- Loss on discontinued operations before cumulative - (2,140) effect of change in accounting principle Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax - (13,760) ----------------------- Net loss on discontinued operations $ - $(15,900) ======================= Loss per share: From operations $ - $ (0.06) Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - (0.41) ----------------------- Total $ - $ (0.47) ======================= 9 NOTE 6 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION: Supplemental cash flow disclosures, including non-cash investing and financing activities, for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 are as follows: (in thousands) 2000 1999 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income taxes paid (refunded) $ 1,104 $(3,843) Interest paid 1,229 1,573 Capital leases entered into in exchange for property and equipment - 1,115 Non-cash investment in MedicaLogic/Medscape, Inc. - 7,000 Non-cash investment in TechRx Incorporated 15,306 -

10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the Company's results, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. The Company classifies its businesses into two fundamental segments: NDC Health and Global Payments (formerly known as NDC's eCommerce segment). Additionally, the All Other and Corporate category is primarily comprised of unallocated direct corporate operations. Results of Operations In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company took action on a formal plan to divest non-core units that were acquired through the PHSS acquisition in December 1997. Thus, the decision was made to move to divest the line of business and account for it as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations". Accordingly, results of these operations have been classified as discontinued and prior periods have been restated. The Company successfully completed the sale of these and other related management services businesses in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The remainder of the results of operations excludes these discontinued operations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 the Company merged its Pharmacy Systems business activity with TechRx Incorporated so as to leverage the combined product development and distribution of its systems to the pharmacy market. Additionally, certain management services businesses were divested during the first quarter as part of the sale of the units that were acquired through the PHSS acquisition discussed above. In order to provide more meaningful comparisons, revenue from these divested businesses is detailed in the chart below.
First Quarter ended August 31, ----------------------------------------------------- ------------ (In millions) 2000 1999 Change ----------------------- ------------------------ ---------- Revenue: NDC Health - Continuing Businesses $ 80.6 47% $ 71.6 41% 13% NDC Health - Divested Businesses 5.3 3% 14.1 8% (62%) ---------------------------------------------------------------- NDC Health - Total $ 85.9 50% $ 85.7 49% 0% Global Payments 87.2 50% 89.8 51% (3%) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenue $173.1 100% $175.5 100% (1%) ================================================================ Depreciation and Amortization: NDC Health $ 7.6 58% $ 7.3 55% 4% Global Payments 4.9 37% 5.3 40% (8%) All Other and Corporate 0.7 5% 0.6 5% 17% ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 13.2 100% $ 13.2 100% 0% ================================================================
11 The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and restructuring and impairment charges. This statistic and its results as a percentage of revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, management believes this statistic is a relevant measurement and provides a comparable cash earnings measure, excluding the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, potential timing differences associated with capital expenditures and the related depreciation charges, non-recurring, restructuring and impairment charges.

Consolidated Revenue net of divested healthcare operations increased to $167.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $161.4 million in the prior year's first quarter. This increase was the result of new revenue from recently acquired businesses in addition to growth in customer base, transaction volumes and new services to customers in its continuing areas of business. Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $173.1 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This decrease was the result of realizing only partial quarter revenues for the divested healthcare operations in the current year compared to full quarter revenues in the prior year. Revenue net of divested healthcare operations increased by 5% to $167.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $159.8 million in the prior year's fourth quarter due to the same factors. Cost of service, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 49% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 48% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 due to mix of product sales and reduced revenue during the quarter while maintaining the infrastructure necessary for continued growth in the continuing areas of business. Total cost of service increased $0.8 million (1%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Cost of service as a percentage of revenue was 49% in both the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 with total spending declining $0.8 million from the prior quarter. Sales, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $2.3 million (4%) from the same period last year. This was due primarily to expenses related to increased staffing and other expenses in preparation for the planned spin-off of Global Payments and investments in sales staffing and programs. As a percentage of revenue, these SG&A expenses increased to 33% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 31% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 due to the factors described above. SG&A expenses decreased to $57.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $59.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 33% for the first 12 quarter of fiscal 2001 from 34% for the prior quarter. Operating income decreased 15% to $30.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $36.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenue, the Company's operating income margin decreased to 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 21% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This decline is due primarily to the increased operating expense margins described above. Operating income increased 8% to $30.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $28.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenue, the Company's operating income margin improved to 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 16% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. This margin improvement is due to the reduced operating expenses margins described above. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased by $5.6 million, or 11%, to $44.0 million due to the factors described above. The EBITDA margin percentage was 25% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to 28% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by $1.7 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The EBITDA margin percentage was 25% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to 24% in the prior quarter. Total other expense increased $2.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily the result of net gains received on the sale of marketable securities in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and increased interest expense due to increased average borrowings in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. IBIT for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $26.3 million compared to $33.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Diluted earnings per share, excluding discontinued operations, for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $0.48 versus a comparable $0.58 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The results in the current quarter compare to proforma diluted earnings per share of $0.46 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Proforma earnings for the prior quarter exclude a $9.7 million non-cash charge to mark to market the Company's position in MedicaLogic/Medscape. NDC Health NDC Health revenue net of the divested operations and including acquisitions made since the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased to $80.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $71.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This 13% increase was due to new revenue from the recently acquired businesses as well as increased demand for its primary products and services including point of service systems, value added network and information management. Total revenue increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Revenue net of the divested operations and including acquisitions increased by 7% to $80.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $75.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $26.2 million compared to $24.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This 7% increase in EBITDA was due mainly to the elimination of operating losses realized in the divested operations in the prior year. The EBITDA margin percentage was 31% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 29% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Margins as a percentage of revenue improved primarily due to the factors described above. IBIT in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by 8% to $18.3 million from $17.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $26.2 million compared to $24.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. 13 Global Payments Global Payments revenue was $87.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $89.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Quarterly revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was the second highest in history, second only to the results in last year's first quarter. Although direct merchant acquiring card processing services experienced strong volume growth, revenue decreased due to the mix of product sales and declines in electronic funds transfer and other business areas compared to the prior year. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001, Global Payments divested its card issuing services business for cash consideration approximately equal to the net book value. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $87.2 million compared to $84.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, a 4% increase from the prior quarter. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $24.0 million compared to $27.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This 11% decline in EBITDA was due to the 3% decrease in revenue combined with a reduction in the EBITDA margin percentage from 30% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to 28% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This margin decline includes increased investments in sales and infrastructure necessary for future growth of the primary service offerings. IBIT was $17.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $20.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $24.0 million compared to $20.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. All Other and Corporate All Other and Corporate is primarily comprised of unallocated direct corporate operations. This expense was $9.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to expenses related to the planned spin-off of Global Payments, the absence in the current year of net gains received on the sale of marketable securities in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, and increased interest expense due to increased average borrowings in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the prior year. All Other and Corporate expense percentage increased to 6% of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 2% of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. 14 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow generated from operations provides the Company with a significant source of liquidity to meet its needs. At August 31, 2000, the Company and its subsidiaries had cash and cash equivalents totaling $11.4 million. Cash provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities was $32.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2001 compared to $32.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2000. Cash provided from net changes in assets and liabilities was $8.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2001 compared to cash required to fund net changes in assets and liabilities of $16.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2000. This decline in the cash required to fund net changes in assets and liabilities resulted primarily from reductions in accounts receivable, changes in net merchant processing funds, and changes in income taxes partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The reductions in accounts receivables resulted from improved collections and business dispositions. The changes in net merchant processing funds reflect fluctuations in the timing of credit card settlement and funding of merchants and may vary from month to month. In addition to timing and cutoff, the balance is also influenced by volume growth and interchange rates. The change in income taxes is due to an increase in taxes payable. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily relates to timing of payments. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $41.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2001 from $16.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2000. Net cash used in investing activities was $11.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2001 compared to $14.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2000. This decrease is due to $20.0 million in proceeds received from the divestiture of PHSS and other related businesses and expenditures of $10.2 million for acquisitions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, an agreement was reached to merge NDC's pharmacy systems business activity with TechRx Incorporated. As part of this agreement, the Company exchanged existing assets, liabilities and cash for its investment interest in TechRx. Additionally, the Company continues to invest in capital expenditures related to growth in the business and acceleration of certain strategic initiatives. The Company will periodically include sales of assets and investments in the future. Net cash used in financing activities increased to $16.3 million for the first three months of fiscal 2001 from $10.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2000. The net effect of the payments and borrowings against the lines of credit is $9.5 million in payments for the first three months of fiscal 2001 compared to $1.0 million in borrowings for the first three months of fiscal 2000. Principal payments under capital lease arrangements and other long term debt decreased $6.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2001 from the first three months of fiscal 2000 due primarily to the payoff of the $6.0 million Electronic Data Systems Corporation note payable related to prior acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Dividends of $2.5 million were paid during the first three months of both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. The Company has a $125.0 million revolving line of credit that expires in December 2002. This includes a committed, unsecured $110.0 million revolving line of credit and a $15.0 million line of credit to fund working capital requirements. At August 31, 2000, there was $59.0 million outstanding under the committed, unsecured line of credit. Management believes that its current level of cash and borrowing capacity, along with future cash flows from operations, are sufficient to meet the needs of its existing operations and its planned requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company regularly evaluates cash requirements for current operations, commitments, development activities and strategic acquisitions. The Company may elect to raise additional funds for these purposes, either through the issuance of additional debt or equity or otherwise, as appropriate. 15 Net cash used in discontinued operations was $6.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2001 compared to $6.3 million provided by discontinued operations in the first three months of fiscal 2000.
