PART I
Item 1. Business
Introduction
We develop market and support application software products to providers of
services in the health and human services market, including mental health
clinics, substance abuse clinics, psychiatric hospitals, public health agencies,
managed care organizations and correctional facilities. Our software products
perform patient management, billing, scheduling, and electronic medical records
solutions for all modalities of care. These products are deployed utilizing
current technologies. We sell our software products through our wholly owned
subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics Corporation, either on a license or a
subscription basis to health care providers and we offer our clients software
support under maintenance agreements. The maintenance contracts provide us with
a recurring revenue stream.
We are a supplier of practice management systems to the behavioral health
market, with over 500 contracts in place, representing approximately 50,000
clinicians, including 24 state agencies and installations in 43 states.
The cost of a new system to customers is typically in the range of $250,000 to
$1 million. Governmental agencies such as mental health, mental retardation,
child welfare, addiction, correction and public health facilities accounted for
approximately 52% of revenue in 2002, with the remainder from private hospitals,
smaller clinics, group and sole practitioners.
Business Strategy
Our systems provide comprehensive healthcare information technology solutions
including billing, patient tracking and scheduling for inpatient and outpatient
environments, as well as clinical documentation and medical record generation
and management. We direct our marketing effort for these products towards
providers of services in the health and human services market. Our branded suite
of products has integrated point-of-services technologies which also include
smart cards and personal digital assistants, which are commonly referred to as
PDAs.
The health and human services market is always subject to changes in state and
federal regulations as well as new demands required by the population. Some of
the factors which we believe are affecting the market include the following.
HIPAA. As one of the most established suppliers of practice management solutions
-----
to the behavioral health and substance abuse industry, we believe that we can
benefit as a result of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,
which is generally known as HIPAA. HIPAA essentially mandates the Health and
Human Services department of the U.S. Government to enact standards regarding
the standardization, privacy and security of health care information that will
begin to take effect in the latter part of 2003.
1
We believe that this legislation will have the effect of requiring the
under-automated health and human services industry to make the leap to install
automated systems. We believe that our product suite, in conjunction with
products offered by other companies with which we have a marketing arrangement,
enables us to offer comprehensive enterprise-wide solutions for all human
service providers.
Increased Demand. As a result of the recent acts of terrorism, the demand for
----------------
services in the mental health and public health services has increased. Anxiety
and fear have gripped many people who are now seeking mental health services.
This increased demand puts more pressure on providers to improve the efficiency
of care through the use of practice management and clinical systems. We believe
that the potential threat of bio terrorism will also put similar pressure on
public health agencies to improve their delivery capabilities in much the same
way.
Forward - Looking Statements
Statements in this Form 10-K annual report may be "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that
express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any
other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by
management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and probably will, differ materially
from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to
numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from
time to time in this Form 10-K annual report, including the risks described
under "Risk Factors," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" in other documents which we file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be
affected by risks and uncertainties related to product demand, market and
customer acceptance, competition, government regulations and requirements,
pricing and development difficulties, as well as general industry and market
conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and
we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K.
Organization of the Company
We are a Delaware corporation formed in September 1992 under the name Medical
Services Corp. Our name was changed to Carte Medical Corporation in October
1993, CSMC Corporation in June 1995 and to Netsmart Technologies, Inc. in
February 1996. Our executive offices are located at 146 Nassau Avenue, Islip,
New York 11751, telephone (631) 968-2000. Reference to us and to Netsmart
include our subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics, unless the context indicates
otherwise. Our website is located at www.csmcorp.com. Neither the Information
contained in our website nor the information contained in any Internet website
is a part of this Form 10-K annual report.
Risk Factors
Because we are particularly dependent upon government contracts, any decrease in
funding for entitlement programs could result in decreased revenue.
We market our health information systems principally to behavioral health
facilities, many of which are operated by government entities and include
entitlement programs. During 2002, we generated 52% of our revenue from
contracts that are directly or indirectly with government agencies, as compared
with 40% in 2001 and 51% in 2000. Government agencies generally have the right
to cancel contracts at their convenience. Our ability to generate business from
2
government agencies is affected by funding for entitlement programs, and our
revenue would decline if state agencies reduce this funding.
Changes in government regulation of the health care industry may adversely
affect our revenue, operating expenses and profitability.
Our business is based on providing systems for behavioral and public health
organizations in both the public and private sectors. The federal and state
governments have adopted numerous regulations relating to the health care
industry, including regulations relating to the payments to health care
providers for various services, and our systems are designed to provide
information based on these requirements. The adoption of new regulations can
have a significant effect upon the operations of health care providers,
particularly those operated by state agencies. Furthermore, changes in
regulations in the health care field may force us to modify our health
information systems to meet any new record-keeping or other requirements and may
impose added costs on our business. If that happens, we may not be able to
generate revenues sufficient to cover the costs of developing the modifications.
In addition, any failure of our systems to comply with new or amended
regulations could result in reductions in our revenue and profitability.
If we are not able to take advantage of technological advances, we may not be
able to remain competitive and our revenue may decline.
Our customers require software which enables them to store, retrieve and process
very large quantities of data and to provide them with instantaneous
communications among the various data bases. Our business requires us to take
advantage of recent advances in software, computer and communications
technology. This technology has been developing at rapid rates in recent years,
and our future may be dependent upon our ability to use and develop or obtain
rights to products utilizing such technology. New technology may develop in a
manner which may make our software obsolete. Our inability to use new technology
would have a significant adverse effect upon our business.
Because of our size, we may have difficulty competing with larger companies that
offer similar services, which may result in decreased revenue.
Our customers in the human services market include entitlement programs, managed
care organizations and specialty care facilities which have a need for access to
information over a distributed data network. The software industry in general,
and the health information software business in particular, are highly
competitive. Other companies have the staff and resources to develop competitive
systems. We may not be able to compete successfully with such competitors. The
health information systems business is served by a number of major companies and
a larger number of smaller companies. We believe that price competition is a
significant factor in our ability to market our health information systems and
services, and our inability to offer competitive pricing may impair our ability
to market our system.
Because we are dependent on our management, the loss of key executive officers
could disrupt our business and our financial performance could suffer.
Our business is largely dependent upon our senior executive officers, Messrs.
James L. Conway, our chief executive officer, Gerald O. Koop, our president, and
Anthony F. Grisanti, our chief financial officer. Although we have employment
agreements with these officers, the employment agreements do not guarantee that
the officers will continue with us, and each of these officers has the right to
terminate his employment with us on 90 days notice. Our agreements with Messrs.
Conway and Grisanti are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2003, although each
of Messrs. Conway and Grisanti has the right on ninety, days notice to extend
his agreement for successive additional one year periods. In addition, Mr.
Koop's employment agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2003,
following which he is expected to continue to work with us for a five-year
period pursuant to a consulting agreement between us dated January 1, 2001. Our
business may be adversely affected if any of our key management personnel or
other key employees left our employ.
3
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitors may gain
access to our technology, which could harm our ability to successfully compete
in our market.
We have no patent protection for our proprietary software, and we rely on
non-disclosure agreements with our employees. In addition, this protection does
not prevent our competitors from independently developing products similar or
superior to our products and technologies. To further develop our services or
products, we may need to acquire licenses for intellectual property. These
licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our
failure to protect our proprietary technology or to obtain appropriate licenses
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or
financial condition. Since our business is dependent upon our proprietary
products, the unauthorized use or disclosure of this information could harm our
business.
We also cannot guarantee that in the future, third parties will not claim that
we infringed on their intellectual property. Asserting our rights or defending
against third party claims could involve substantial costs and diversion of
resources, which could materially and adversely affect us.
The covenants in our loan agreement restrict our financial and operational
flexibility, including our ability to complete additional acquisitions, invest
in new business opportunities, or pay down certain indebtedness.
Our revolving credit and term loan agreement contains covenants that restrict,
among other things, our ability to borrow money, make particular types of
investments, including investments in our subsidiaries, make other restricted
payments, swap or sell assets, merge or consolidate, or make acquisitions. An
event of default under our loan agreement could allow the lender to declare all
amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. We have pledged
substantially all of our consolidated assets to secure the debt under our loan
agreement. If the amounts outstanding under the loan agreement were accelerated,
the lender could proceed against those consolidated assets. Any event of
default, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our
loan agreement also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios. Our
ability to meet these financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our
control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios. We also may
incur future debt obligations that might subject us to restrictive covenants
that could affect our financial and operational flexibility or subject us to
other events of default.
Our growth may be limited if we cannot make acquisitions.
A part of our growth strategy is to acquire other businesses that are related to
our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our securities
or a combination of cash and securities. To the extent that we require cash, we
may have to borrow the funds or issue equity, which could dilute our earnings or
the book value per share of our common stock. Our stock price may adversely
affect our ability to make acquisitions for equity or to raise funds for
acquisitions through the issuance of equity securities. If we fail to make any
acquisitions, our future growth may be limited. As of the date of this
prospectus, we do not have any agreement or understanding, either formal or
informal, as to any acquisition.
If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our
business.
If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired
company's personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel
of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us, and our officers may
exercise their rights to terminate their employment with us. We cannot predict
the affect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are
successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing
business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.
4
We do not anticipate, and our loan agreement prohibits, the payment of dividends
on our common stock, therefore, investors cannot rely on dividends to increase
the value of their investment in Netsmart.
We have never paid a cash dividend and we do not anticipate paying cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to
retain future earnings, if any, in order to provide funds for use in the
operation and expansion of our business. Consequently, investors cannot rely on
the payment of dividends to increase the value of their investment on Netsmart.
In addition, we are a party to a loan agreement which prohibits us from paying
cash dividends without the prior consent of our lender.
The employment contracts with our executive officers and provisions of Delaware
law may deter or prevent a takeover attempt and may reduce the price investors
might be willing to pay for our common stock.
The employment contracts between us and each of James Conway, Gerald Koop and
Anthony Grisanti provide that in the event there is a change in control of
Netsmart, the employee has the option to terminate his employment agreement.
Upon such termination, each of Messrs. Conway, Koop and Grisanti has the right
to receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of
|*| his compensation for a twelve-month period plus
|*| an amount equal to his monthly compensation multiplied by
o the greater of 30 and
o 1.5 times the number of years the employee has been employed by
Netsmart, but not more than 36.
In addition, Delaware law restricts business combinations with stockholders who
acquire 15% or more of a company's common stock without the consent of the
company's board of directors.
These provisions could deter or prevent a takeover attempt and may also reduce
the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of our common stock
Any issuance of preferred stock may adversely effect the voting power and equity
interest of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the right to
create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may,
without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend,
conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting
power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. The preferred stock,
which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be
utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of
control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the
price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any
additional shares of preferred stock or to create any series of preferred stock,
we may issue such shares in the future. If we issue preferred stock in a manner
which dilutes the voting rights of the holders of the common stock, our listing
on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market may be impaired.
Shares may be issued pursuant to options and warrants which may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.
We may issue stock upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of our common
stock pursuant to our long term incentive plans, of which options to purchase
664,702 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2002. The exercise of these
options and the sale of the underlying shares of common stock may have an
adverse effect upon the price of our stock.
5
In addition, we may issue stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 768,544 shares of our common stock pursuant to various agreements,
of which warrants to purchase 708,544 shares were outstanding at December 31,
2002. The exercise of these warrants and the sale of the underlying shares of
common stock may have an adverse effect upon the price of our stock.
Health and Human Services Systems and Services
We develop, market and support computer software which enables health and human
services healthcare organizations to provide a full range of services in a
network computing environment.
Users typically purchase one of several healthcare information systems, in the
form of a perpetual license to use the system, as well as purchasing
professional services, support, and maintenance. In addition, we resell third
party hardware and software to our customers pursuant to value added resale
arrangements with them. Since our products are designed to operate on hardware
platforms that either support the Microsoft Windows operating system platform
(Win_2000, NT, XP), or Unix operating system (IBM -AIX, Sun
Microsystems-Solaris, Hewlett Packard-HPUX). We also offer these products. Due
to the fact that our products operate on a variety of platforms, we are not
dependent on any single hardware vendor or operating system. Since our products
utilize the Cache database and development software provided by Intersystems
Corporation, we resell this software. Due to the fact that our products are
designed to operate solely with Cache products, we are dependent on Cache
products for our operations. The professional services include project
management, training, consulting and software development services, which are
provided either on a time and material basis or pursuant to a fixed-price
contract. The software development services may require the adaptation of health
care information technology systems to meet the specific requirements of the
customer.
Our typical license for a health information system ranges from $10,000 to
$100,000 for a single facility healthcare organization to $250,000 to $1,000,000
for multi-unit care organizations such as those run by state agencies. Revenue
from license fees were approximately $1,753,000, or 7.9% of revenue, for 2002,
$747,000, or 4.1% of revenue, for 2001 and $2,603,000, or 12.9% of revenue, for
2000. A customer's purchase order may also include third party hardware or
software. Revenue from hardware and third party software accounted for
approximately $3,822,000, or 17.3% of revenue, for 2002, $2,390,000, or 13.2% of
revenue, for 2001 and $4,158,000, or 20.6% of revenue, for 2000. Revenue from
turnkey systems labor accounted for approximately $7,418,000, or 33.5% of
revenue, for 2002, $6,568,000, or 36.3% of revenue, for 2001 and $6,502,000, or
32.2% of revenue in 2000.
Maintenance services have generated increasing revenue and have become a more
significant portion of our business since most purchasers of health care
information system licenses also purchase maintenance service. Maintenance
revenue increases as existing customers purchase additional licenses and new
customers purchase their initial software licenses. By agreement with our
customers, we provide telephone help services and maintain and upgrade their
software. Maintenance contracts may require us to make modifications to meet any
new federal and state reporting requirements which become effective during the
term of the maintenance contract. We do not maintain the hardware and third
party software sold to our customers, but we provide a telephone help line
service for certain third party software, which we license to our customers. Our
maintenance revenue was approximately $6,247,000, or 28.2% of revenue, for 2002,
$5,192,000, or 28.7% of revenue, for 2001 and $3,521,000, or 17.5% of revenue,
for 2000. Our small systems revenue was approximately $929,000, or 4.2% of
revenue, for 2002, $1,180,000, or 6.5% of revenue, for 2001 and $1,124,000, or
5.6% of revenue, for 2000.
We currently offer five product modules that provide a range of core application
requirements for behavioral healthcare providers. These products consist of a
suite of complete information technology applications developed by us, together
with software provided by others which enables us to offer enterprise-wide
solutions to the behavioral health industry. We offer the products in a variety
of delivery modes.
o Avatar - Practice Management: This system is a comprehensive
solution providing patient management functions, billing,
6
tracking, scheduling, and reporting for inpatient treatment
facilities.
o Avatar - Clinician Workstation: This workstation provides a
clinician with documentation and medical record management
including assessment, care planning, progress notes and on-line
medical records. The clinician workstation is our electronic
medical record system for behavioral health, which integrates the
clinical tools necessary for an interdisciplinary approach to the
delivery of human services.
o Methadone Clinical System: Pursuant to a joint marketing
agreement with Mallinckrodt Pharmaceutical Specialties, a
division of Mallinckrodt Inc., we offer a solution for
dispensing, admissions and medical records, counselor and
reception/security specifically for methadone clinics. We can
integrate Methadone Clinical System with our other behavioral
health products.
o Avatar - Managed Care: The managed care and employee assistance
program modules include such features as service request
management, contact tracking (patients, providers, others),
import of eligibility information by contract, provider search by
location, specialty, contract, hospital privileges, claims
adjudication and payment.
Markets and Marketing
The market for behavioral/public health information systems and related services
consists of both private and publicly operated providers offering hospital or
community-based outpatient behavioral/public healthcare services. These
healthcare providers require a healthcare information system to administer their
programs. We believe that there are at least 15,000 behavioral/public healthcare
providers in the United States, including public and private hospitals, private
and community-based residential facilities and federal, state and local
governmental agencies.
Many long-term behavioral/public healthcare facilities are operated by
government entities and include those operated as part of entitlement programs.
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, approximately 52%, 40%
and 51%, respectively, of revenue was generated from contracts with government
agencies. Contracts with government agencies generally include provisions which
permit the contracting agency to cancel the contract for its convenience,
although we have not experienced a termination for convenience in the last five
years.
In addition to these major behavioral/public healthcare providers, there are a
larger number of sole practitioners, group practices and smaller clinics which
may also require behavioral/public healthcare facilities. We intend to market
our Internet-based systems to these potential customers.
We believe that the demand for information technology solutions is increasing as
a result of new federal initiatives for data standards as well as continuous
pressure from managed care providers to reduce healthcare delivery costs while
expanding the availability of services.
In order to remain competitive, the health and human services health delivery
networks need detailed clinical and management information systems that enable
providers within the networks to maintain a broad scope of accurate medical and
financial information, manage costs and deliver quality care efficiently. In
addition, the need to upgrade existing systems to meet the increased demand for
data processing needs of managed care and regulatory oversight has also resulted
in an increased demand for behavioral/public healthcare information technology.
These data processing needs include analysis of patient assessments, maintenance
of patient records, administration of patient treatment plans and the overall
coordination of patient case management.
7
We coordinate our marketing effort with the state agencies and other major users
of our systems. Our state agency clients formed a User Group Association,
presently consisting of state organizations or agencies from 26 states. The
association's members work with us to assess and determine future requirements
in both patient managed care coordination and regulatory reporting.
No customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue in 2002, 2001 and 2000.
We had a backlog of orders, including ongoing maintenance and data center
contracts for our behavioral health information systems of $25.3 million at
December 31, 2002 and $16.5 million at December 31, 2001. We expect to fill
approximately $21.3 million of the 2002 backlog during 2003.
The major components of backlog is revenue of approximately $15 million from
existing turnkey contracts. Maintenance of approximately $7 million that is
comprised of both amounts expected to be filled under unexpired maintenance
contracts and also amounts that are subject to automatic renewal, and unexpired
Data Center contracts of approximately $2 million calculated using historical
experience to determine future useage.
Data Center
Since our inception the Data Center has provided software which performs
clinical and billing services for outpatient facilities, including mental
health, alcohol and substance abuse facilities. Services include statistical
reporting, data entry, electronic billing and submission.
All of our products and services are offered not only in a turnkey mode of
operation but also in an Application Service Provider (ASP) mode in which the
client uses our software products with part or all of the software's operation
taking place on the computer facilities of our data centers. At present we have
a data center service facility in Islip, New York and anticipate opening an
additional facility in Ohio in 2003.
Revenue from our Data Center was approximately $1,957,000 or 8.9% of revenue for
2002, $2,042,000 or 11.3% of revenue for 2001 and $2,263,000 or 11.2% of revenue
for 2000.
During 2002, two customers each accounted for more than 10% of the total Data
Center revenue. One customer was a New York State agency, which accounted for
$199,000, or 10.2% of total Data Center revenue. The other client was a hospital
in New York City, which accounted for $225,000, or 11.5% of total Data Center
revenue. During 2001, this same major hospital accounted for $351,000, or 17.2%
of total Data Center revenue. During 2000, two customers each accounted for more
than 10% of the total Data Center revenue. Both were hospitals in New York City,
one of which accounted for $447,000 or 19.7% of total Data Center revenue and
the other which accounted for $269,000, or 11.9% of total Data Center revenue.
None of the above mentioned clients accounted for more than 10% of our
consolidated revenue.
Our Data Center backlog at December 31, 2002 was $2,076,000. We anticipate that
all of this backlog will be earned in 2003. The Data Center backlog at December
31, 2001 was $1,974,000.
Product Development
We incurred product development costs relating to our health and human services
information systems of approximately $1,318,000 in 2002, $1,335,000 in 2001 and
$1,360,000 in 2000, all of which was company-sponsored. In 2001, we incurred
capitalized software development costs of approximately $167,000 associated with
our acquisition of software products from Advanced Institutional Management
Software, Inc. In 2000, we incurred capitalized software development costs of
approximately $219,000 in connection with the development of our web portal
8
services and application service provider solutions for healthcare providers.
During 2000, we also incurred capitalized software development costs of $334,000
associated with our acquisition of the Connex suite of managed care and employee
assistance program information systems. Included in these costs is $100,000 of
valued assigned to the 15,528 shares of our common stock which we issued to
acquire the Connex suite.
Competition
The healthcare software industry is highly competitive. Although we believe that
we can provide a health care facility or managed care organization with software
to enable it to perform its services more effectively, other software companies
provide comparable systems and also have the staff and resources to develop
competitive systems.
According to independent consulting reports, healthcare information technology
is an $18 billion industry served by numerous vendors. The dominant health care
information technology vendors have achieved annual sales of more than $1
billion by focusing on solutions for large medical/surgical health care
providers, such as large hospital systems and health maintenance organizations,
and, have not focused on the behavioral/public healthcare industry. We believe
that most of the presently available healthcare management software does not
meet the specific needs of the behavioral/public healthcare industry, and that
the functionality of our information systems are designed to meet the needs of
this market. However, the behavioral health information systems business is
serviced by a number of companies, some of which are better capitalized with
larger infrastructure than we, and we may not be able to continue to compete
effectively with such companies.
Additionally, we face significant competition in the Data Center medical systems
ASP market. General ASP utilities offer clients use of computer facilities and
operations staff to process either generalized medical software or software
selected by the client from other software vendors. Large billing and clearing
house computer service companies provide a broad area of billing for a diverse
marketplace. Many organizations start with billing as their primary reason for
automation spending. Several types of professional service firms offer
departmental staff to operate a client's already in-house system when the client
believes that such an approach will provide the needed expertise at a cost
effective price. Our ASP service is focused on providing a complete and cost
effective service to a specific set of sectors in the large health and human
services marketplace. Behavioral health requires the ideal organization of
software, systems and staff to enable a client to maximize service at a
reasonable cost. Most important is that the service is based on the exclusive
use of the Company's proprietary suite of Avatar products which enables a
potential client to initiate the use of any part of a broad array of needed
clinical and financial systems for as long as these functions are needed knowing
that these services are developed, operated, and updated by a professional IT
staff which is on call as needed. In addition, our experience is that, once a
client has contracted for services, it generally remains a client and is
unaffected by competitive offerings. Some of our clients have been working with
us for up to thirty years. We believe our specialized experience and investment
in related software provides us with a competitive advantage.
We compete in the Health and Human Services Systems market with the following
behavioral healthcare vendors:
Anasazi Software, Inc.
Askesis Development Group, Inc.
Civerex Systems, Inc.
CMHC Systems
Geneva Software
InfoMC, Inc.
IMPEL Strategic Solutions
9
Multi-Health Systems, Inc.
Qualifacts System inc.
Raintree Systems Inc.
SecureHEALTH Inc.
Sequest Technologies Inc.
The Echo Group
UNI/CARE Systems, Inc.
XAKTsoft, Inc.
As our business has expanded to the sale of larger integrated healthcare
delivery systems, we have begun to compete with companies such as Siemens, HBOC,
IDX, Meditech, Quadramed, and Misys. In the public health arena, We have
competed against QS Technologies, MANTECH, and QS Inc.
Competitive Position:
Creative Socio-Medics has been in business since 1968. As a core part of its
strategic business model, Creative bids on competitive procurements numerous
times during the calendar year and has a very high win ratio, which is evidence
of its leadership. This is especially evident in the statewide mental
health/mental retardation field with Creative's dominance in that marketplace
having for which it has 26 statewide systems.
We have an established customer base of more than 500 clients nationwide,
including substantial private and government providers of healthcare services.
These 500 contracts represent approximately 50,000 clinicians, including 26
state agencies and installations in 43 states.
Government Regulations and Contracts
The federal and state governments have adopted numerous regulations relating to
the health care industry, including regulations relating to the payments to
health care providers for various services. The adoption of new regulations can
have a significant effect upon the operations of health care providers and
insurance companies. Although our business is aimed at meeting certain of the
problems resulting from government regulations and from efforts to reduce the
cost of health care, we cannot predict the effect of future regulations by
governments and payment practices by government agencies or health insurers,
including reductions in the funding for or scope of entitlement programs. Any
change in the structure of health care in the United States can have a material
effect on companies, such as us, that provide services to the health care
industry, including those providing software. Although we believe that the
likely direction which may result from the current study of the health care
industry would be an increased trend to managed care programs, thereby
increasing the importance of automation, our business may not benefit from any
changes in the industry structure. Even if the industry does evolve toward more
healthcare being provided by managed care organizations, it is possible that
there will be substantial concentration in a few very large organizations, which
may seek to develop their own software or obtain software from other sources. To
the extent that the health care industry evolves with greater
government-sponsored programs and less privately run organizations, our business
may be adversely affected. Furthermore, to the extent that each state changes
its own regulations in the health care field, it may be necessary for us to
modify our behavioral health information systems to meet any new record-keeping
or other requirements imposed by changes in regulations, and we may not be able
to generate revenues sufficient to cover the costs of developing the
modifications.
A significant amount of our business has been with government agencies,
including specialized care facilities operated by, or under contract with,
government agencies. The decision on the part of a government agency to enter
into a contract is dependent upon a number of factors, including economic and
budgetary problems affecting the local area, and government procurement
regulations, which may include the need for approval by more than one agency
10
before a contract is signed. In addition, government agencies generally include
provisions in their contracts which permit the contracting agency to cancel the
contract at its convenience. We have not experienced a termination for
convenience in the last five years.
Intellectual Property Rights
We have no patent rights for our behavioral health information system software,
but we rely upon copyright protection for our software, as well as
non-disclosure and secrecy agreements with our employees and third parties to
whom we disclose information. We may not be able to protect our proprietary
rights to our system and third parties may claim rights in the system.
Disclosure of the codes used in any proprietary product, whether or not in
violation of a non-disclosure agreement, could have a materially adverse affect
upon us, even if we are successful in obtaining injunctive relief. We must
continue to invest in product development, employee training, and client
support.
Employees
As of December 31, 2002, we had 145 employees, including 4 executive, 11 sales
and marketing, 121 technical and 9 clerical and administrative employees.
Executive Officers
Information concerning our executive officers is included in Item 11,
Directors and Executive Officers for the Registrant.
Item 2. Property
We lease office space at the following locations:
Location Purpose Space Annual Rental Expiration
-------- ------- ----- ------------- ----------
146 Nassau Avenue Executive 18,000 $327,000, plus 4% 12/31/03
Islip, New York offices square feet annual increases
1335 Dublin Road Offices 3,500 $56,000 11/30/03
Columbus, Ohio square feet
5120 Shoreham Place Offices 2,800 $72,000 07/31/05
San Diego, California square feet
We believe that our space is adequate for our immediate needs and that, if
additional space is required, it would be readily available on commercially
reasonable rates.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In October 2000, the Company's subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics, commenced an
action against the City of Richmond, in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, County of Suffolk, which action was subsequently removed to the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, for failure to pay
more than $1 million pursuant to a contract between the Company and Richmond.
11
Richmond advised the court that it intended to move to dismiss the complaint for
lack of personal jurisdiction in New York and improper venue. In November 2000,
Richmond filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond,
Richmond, Virginia, alleging, among other things, that the contract with
Creative Socio-Medics was procured through fraudulent misrepresentations
concerning the nature of the work to be performed and the price for the services
and that Creative Socio-Medics failed to perform its obligations under the
agreement, seeking damages of $373,000 and a finding that it owes no additional
amounts to Creative Socio-Medics. The parties entered into a stipulation staying
the Richmond action until a determination of Richmond's jurisdictional
challenges to the New York action. On August 21, 2002, the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York denied Richmond's motion to
dismiss the Company's complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction in New York on
the basis of improper venue. The Company believes it has valid claims against
Richmond and intends to vigorously pursue those claims. We also believe that the
allegations contained in Richmond's complaint are without merit and we intend to
vigorously defend against those claims.
The Company is involved in other litigation through the normal course of
business. The Company believes that the resolution of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
and results of operations.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
Our operations are grouped into two segments:
|*| Software and Related Systems and Services
|*| Data Center (service bureau services)
Results of Operations
Fixed price software development contracts and licenses accounted for 44% and
38% of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. We recognize revenue for fixed price contracts on the estimated
percentage of completion basis. Since the billing schedules under the contracts
differ from the recognition of revenue, at the end of any period, these
contracts generally result in either costs and estimated profits in excess of
billing or billing in excess of cost and estimated profits. Revenue from fixed
price software development contracts is determined using the percentage of
completion method which is based upon the time spent by our technical personnel
on a project. As a result, during the third and fourth quarters, when many of
our employees are on vacation and holidays, our revenue was affected. Our time
spent on projects during the second half of the year generally ranges from 1% to
3% less than time spent on projects during the first half of the year.
Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
Our total revenue for 2002 was $22,126,000, an increase of $4,007,000, or 22%,
from our revenue for 2001, which was $18,119,000.
Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 52% of revenue in
2002 and 40% of revenue in 2001. This reflects an increase in new government
contracts.
Software and Related Systems and Services
Our Software and Related Systems and Services revenue for 2002 was $20,169,000,
an increase of $4,092,000, or 25%, from our revenue for 2001, which was
$16,077,000. Software and related systems and services revenue is comprised of
turnkey systems labor revenue, revenue from sales of third party hardware and
software, license revenue, maintenance revenue and revenue from small turnkey
systems.The largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue,
which increased to $7,418,000 in 2002, from $6,568,000 in 2001, reflecting a 13%
increase. Turnkey systems labor revenue refers to labor associated with turnkey
installations and includes categories such as training, installation, project
management and development.The increase in turnkey systmens labor revenue was
substantially the result of an increase in spending for the information systems
in the human services marketplace and our ability to provide the staff necessary
to generate additional revenue. Labor rate price changes from 2002 to 2001
resulted in a 1% increase in the average daily billing rate and accounted for
approximately $76,000, or 9%, of the total turnkey systems labor increase.
Revenue from third party hardware and software increased to $3,822,000 in 2002,
from $2,390,000 in 2001, which represents an increase of 60%. Sales of third
party hardware and software are made in connection with the sales of turnkey
systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than our human
services revenue. License revenue increased to $1,753,000 in 2002, from $747,000
in 2001, reflecting an increase of 135%. License revenue is generated as part of
a sale of a human services information system pursuant to a contract or purchase
order that includes delivery of the system and maintenance. The increase in
16
license revenue was the result of an increase in spending for information
systems in the human services marketplace. Maintenance revenue increased to
$6,247,000 in 2002, from $5,192,000 in 2001, reflecting an increase of 20%. As
turnkey systems are completed, they are transitioned to the maintenance
division, thereby increasing our installed base. Revenue from the sales of our
small turnkey division decreased to $929,000 in 2002, from $1,180,000 in 2001,
reflecting a decrease of 21%. Small turnkey division sales relate to turnkey
contracts that are less than $50,000 and are usually completed within one month.
We are experiencing a decline in small turnkey systems as a result of a
redirection of our sales efforts to larger turnkey sales.
Gross profit increased to $6,636,000 in 2002 from $5,095,000 in 2001, reflecting
an increase of 30.2%. Our gross margin percentage increased to 32.9% in 2002
from 31.7% in 2001. Although license and maintenance revenue, which are highly
margined revenue components, increased in 2002, our gross margin percentage did
not increase proportionately. This is because the mix of our revenue components
for 2002 included a larger amount of third party hardware and software revenue
than 2001. Our third party hardware and software revenue yields margins
significantly less than our margins from human services revenue.
Data Center (Service Bureau Services)
Data center clients typically generate approximately the same amount of revenue
each year. We bill on a transaction basis or on a fixed fee arrangement.
Historically, each year we increase the transaction or fixed fees by an amount
that approximates the New York urban consumer price index increase. The data
center revenue decreased to $1,957,000 in 2002 from $2,042,000 in 2001,
representing a decrease of $85,000, or 4%. In 2001, we provided additional
services to a client for fees in the amount of $120,000. These services were not
provided for in 2002.
Gross profit decreased to $946,000 in 2002 from $1,023,000 in 2001. Our gross
margin percentage decreased from 50.1% in 2001 to 48.3% in 2002. This decrease
was the result of the reduction in revenue with no corresponding decrease in
costs.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,168,000 in 2002, reflecting
an increase of $784,000 or 18% from the $4,384,000 in 2001. This increase was
substantially in the area of provisions for bonuses, which increased by
$190,000, investor relations, which increased by $97,000, consulting fees, which
increased by $77,000, general insurance, which increased by $71,000, G&A
salaries which increased by $46,000, non recurring costs related to the national
users conference of $110,000 and settlement of a lawsuit for $69,000.
We incurred product development expenses of $1,318,000 in 2002, a decrease of 1%
from the $1,335,000 in 2001. During 2002, we continued to invest in improved
functionality and technology in our products, but at a lesser extent than in
2001.
Interest and other expenses was $262,000 in 2002, an increase of $75,000, or
40%, from the $187,000 in 2001. This increase was substantially the result of
interest associated with the $2,500,000 term loan, which we received in June
2001 and an other than temporary decline in the value of a security.
Interest and other income consisted of interest income of $46,000 in 2002 which
was generated from short term investments and interest income of $42,000 which
was generated from short term investments, and other income of $30,000, which
relates to a gain realized on stock investment in 2001.
17
We have a net operating loss tax carry forward of approximately $9 million. In
2002, we recorded current income tax expense of $84,000, which related to
various state and local taxes. In addition, we recognized a partial deferred tax
benefit in the amount of $400,000 principally due to a reduction in the
valuation allowance of $400,000 related to our net operating loss carry forward.
In 2001 we recorded an income tax benefit of $31,000. This benefit was based
upon an overaccrual of state and federal taxes in 2000 as well as the
recognition of an additional $6,000 benefit of our operating loss carry forward.
As a result of the foregoing factors, in 2002, we had a net income of
$1,195,000, or $.32 per share (basic) and $.29 per share (diluted). For 2001, we
had net income of $315,000, or $.09 per share (basic) and $.08 per share
(diluted).
Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
Our total revenue for 2001 was $18,119,000, a decrease of $2,052,000, or 10%,
from our revenue for 2000, which was $20,171,000.
Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 40% of revenue in
2001 and 51% of revenue in 2000. This decrease reflects a reduction in new
government contracts.
Software and Related Systems and Services
Our Software and Related Systems and Services revenue for 2001 was $16,077,000,
a decrease of $1,831,000, or 10%, from our revenue for 2000, which was
$17,908,000. The largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue,
which increased to $6,568,000 in 2001, from $6,502,000 in 2000, reflecting a 1%
increase. Turnkey systems labor revenue refers to labor associated with turnkey
installations and includes such categories as training, installation, project
management and development. Although there was a general decline in the sales of
turnkey systems due to an industry wide slowdown in information technology
purchasing activity, we were able to generate additional labor revenue for
customization and enhancements services for our existing client base as well as
increase our average daily billing rate by 7%. Revenue from third party hardware
and software decreased to $2,390,000 in 2001, from $4,158,000 in 2000, which
represents a decrease of 43%. Sales of third party hardware and software are
made in connection with the sales of turnkey systems and were affected by the
decline in the sales of turnkey systems. These sales are typically made at lower
gross margins than our behavioral health systems and services revenue. License
revenue decreased to $747,000 in 2001, from $2,603,000 in 2000, reflecting a
decrease of 71%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of a human
services health information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order that
includes delivery of the system and maintenance and is affected by the decline
in revenue from turnkey systems. Maintenance revenue increased to $5,192,000 in
2001, from $3,521,000 in 2000, reflecting an increase of 48%. As turnkey systems
are completed, they are transitioned to the maintenance division. Included in
2001 is $935,000 of maintenance revenue related to contracts for Advanced
Institutional Management Systems ("AIMS") software. We acquired the rights to
the AIMS software, including its installed customer base, in May 2001. Revenue
from the sales of our small turnkey division increased to $1,180,000 in 2001,
from $1,124,000 in 2000, reflecting an increase of 5%.%. Small turnkey division
sales relate to turnkey contracts that are less than $50,000, in the methadone
dispensing market and are usually completed within one month.
Gross profit decreased to $5,095,000 in 2001 from $6,977,000 in 2000, reflecting
a decrease of 27%. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 32% in 2001 from 39%
in 2000. This decrease was the result of a decrease in our license revenue
mentioned above. In addition, the gross margin associated with the AIMS
maintenance revenue is lower than the gross margin experienced with our other
maintenance revenue.
18
Data Center
The data center (service bureau) revenue decreased to $2,042,000 in 2001, from
$2,263,000 in 2000, reflecting a decrease of 10%, or $221,000. In 2000, we
provided additional services to one client for fees in the amount of $226,000 as
compared to $120,000 in 2001. This represented $106,000 of the decrease. The
remaining $115,000 reduction was the result of a smaller client base.
Gross profit decreased to $1,023,000 in 2001 from $1,238,000 in 2000. Our gross
margin percentage decreased from 54.7% in 2000 to 50.1% in 2001. This decrease
was the result of the reduction in revenue with no corresponding decrease in
costs.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,384,000 in 2001, reflecting
a decrease of $331,000, or 7%, from the $4,715,000 in 2000. This decrease was
substantially due to a reduction in employee bonus provisions, which decreased
by $454,000 and costs which decreased by $181,000 related to issuance and
extensions of warrants that were issued for financial consulting services.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing
costs of $172,000 and an increase in legal fees of $157,000.
We incurred product development expenses of $1,335,000 in 2001, a decrease of 2%
from the $1,360,000 in 2000. During 2001, we continued to invest in improved
functionality and technology in our products, but at a lesser extent than in
2000.
Interest expense was $187,000 in 2001, an increase of $26,000, or 16%, from the
$161,000 in 2000. This increase was substantially the result of interest
associated with the $2,500,000 term loan arrangement, which we entered into in
June 2001.
Interest and other income consisted of interest income of $42,000, which was
generated from short-term investments and other income of $30,000 which relates
to a gain realized on stock investment.
We have a net operating loss tax carry forward of approximately $11 million. In
2001 we recorded an income tax benefit of $31,000. This benefit was based upon
an overaccrual of state and federal taxes in 2000. In 2000, we provided for
income taxes in the amount of $157,000. The 2000 provision was based upon
federal alternative minimum tax calculations as well as for certain state taxes.
In addition, we recognized a partial tax benefit in the amount of $494,000
principally related to our net operating loss carry forwards. We recognized an
additional $6,000 benefit of our operating loss carry forwards in 2001.
As a result of the foregoing factors, in 2001, we had a net income of $315,000,
or $.09 per share (basic) and $.08 per share (diluted). For 2000, we had net
income of $2,386,000, or $.71 per share (basic) and $.63 per share (diluted).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital of $9.7 million at December 31, 2002 as compared to
working capital of $7.9 million at December 31, 2001. The increase in working
capital was substantially the result of our net income after adding back
depreciation and amortization and partially offset by the acquisition of
equipment.
In June 2001, we entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement with
Fleet Bank ("Fleet"). This financing provides us with a five-year term loan of
$2.5 million, as well as a two-year $1.5 million revolving line of credit. The
term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. We have entered into an interest
rate swap agreement with Fleet whereby we converted our variable interest rate
on the term loan to a fixed rate of 7.95%. The revolving line of credit bears
interest, at the Company's option, to be equal to either (i) LIBOR plus 2.0% or
(ii) the prime rate and incur an annual facility fee of 0.5%. Under our
revolving line of credit, we can borrow up to 75% of eligible receivables up to
a maximum of $1.5 million.
19
The maximum available to us at December 31, 2002 under the borrowing base
formula was $1.5 million. The proceeds of the term loan are designated for
acquisitions as well as for product enhancements specific to California
requirements. The revolving line of credit is available for general working
capital needs. We did not use the revolving line of credit from inception
through December 31, 2002. We have made principal payments on the $2.5 million
term loan and the amount outstanding at December 31, 2002 is $1.75 million.
The terms of our revolving credit and term loan agreement require compliance
with certain covenants, including maintaining a minimum net equity of $9
million, minimum cash reserves of $500,000, maintenance of certain financial
ratios, limitations on capital expenditures and indebtedness and prohibition of
the payment of cash dividends. As of December 31, 2002, we were in compliance
with the financial covenants of this agreement.
During 2001, we acquired the intellectual property, customer contracts and
certain other assets of AIMS. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The principal assets acquired were the AIMS'
customer base and the rights to AIMS' Correctional and Public Health Systems
software. The purchase price consisted of $500,000 in cash and 180,000 shares of
our stock, valued at $376,200, which was the market price on the date of
acquisition. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, on
or before April 27,2004, we may be required to issue up to 100,000 additional
shares of common stock based upon revenue derived from new contracts for the
AIMS systems. The value of such shares, if issued, will be charged to
operations. We also assumed certain contract obligations. We allocated $194, 986
of assumed contract obligations to the purchase price. The total cost of the
acquisition, which included legal and accounting fees associated with the
acquisition, was $1,161,100, of which $167,000 was allocated to software
development and $994,100 was allocated to customer lists.
A part of our growth strategy is to acquire other businesses that are related to
our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our securities
or a combination of cash and securities. If we fail to make any acquisitions our
future growth may be limited to only internal growth. As of the date of this
Form 10-K annual report, we did not have any agreements or understandings with
respect to any material acquisitions, and we cannot give any assurance that we
will be able to complete any material acquisitions.

The following table summarizes, as of December 31, 2002, our obligations and
commitments to make future payments under debt, capital leases and operating
leases:

Based on our outstanding contracts and our continuing business, we believe that
our cash flow from operations, the availability under our financing agreement
and our cash on hand will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operations for
at least the next twelve months. It is possible that we may need additional
funding if we go forward with certain acquisitions or if our business does not
develop as we anticipate or if our expenses, including our software development
costs relating to our expansion of our product line and our marketing costs for
seeking to expand the market for our products and services to include smaller
clinics and facilities and sole group practitioners exceed our expectation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting
principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We
believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are
reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these
estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and
assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material
differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual
results, our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting
policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and
evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Revenue Recognition
Impairment of Capitalized Software Development Costs
Impairment of Customer Lists
21
Revenue Recognition: Revenue associated with fixed price turnkey sales consists
of the following components; licensing of software, labor associated with the
installation and implementation of the software and maintenance services
rendered in connection with such licensing activities. Revenue from fixed price
software development contracts and revenue under license agreements, which
require significant modification of the software package to the customer's
specifications, are recognized on the estimated percentage-of-completion method.
Using the units-of-work-performed method to measure progress towards completion,
revisions in cost estimates and recognition of losses on these contracts are
reflected in the accounting period in which the facts become known. The
complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions,
risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage of
completion method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue and related
expenses reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. A number of internal
and external factors can affect our estimates, including labor rates,
utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement
changes. Maintenance contract revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the life of the respective contract. We also derive revenue from the sale
of third party hardware and software which is recognized based upon the terms of
each contract. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.
Data Center revenue is recognized in the period in which the service is
provided. The above sources of revenue are recognized when, persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and
determinable an collectibility is probable.
Contract terms provide for billing schedules that differ from revenue
recognition and give rise to costs and estimated profits in excess of billings,
and billings in excess of costs and estimated profits.
Deferred revenue represents revenue billed and collected but not yet earned.
The cost of maintenance revenue, which consists solely of staff payroll and
applicable overhead, is expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Capitalized Software Development Costs - Capitalization of
computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of
technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for our computer software
products are generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of
high risk development issues. The establishment of technological feasibility and
the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software
development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to
certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological
feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technology. Prior to reaching technological
feasibility these costs are expensed as incurred and included in research and
development. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs
commences when the related products become available for general release to
customers. Amortization is provided on a product by product basis. The annual
amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that
current gross revenue for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the
remaining estimated economic life of the product. The estimated life of these
products range from 3 to 5 years.
We periodically perform reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized
software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are
not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the
applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.
Impairment of Customer Lists - Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", we evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment,
and continue to evaluate them as events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. We
evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying
amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future
undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to
recover the carrying amount of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their
fair values.
22
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Form 10-K annual report may be "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that
express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any
other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by
management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and probably will, differ materially
from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to
numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from
time to time in this Form 10-K annual report, including the risks described
under "Risk Factors" and in other documents which we file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks
and uncertainties related to product demand, market and customer acceptance,
competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development
difficulties, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth
rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. Most of our
debt is at fixed rates of interest after completing an interest rate swap
agreement, which effectively converted our variable rate debt into a fixed rate
debt of 7.95%. Therefore if the LIBOR plus 2.5% rate increases above 7.95%, it
may have a positive effect on our net income.

Quarterly Summary
Unaudited
The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly results of operations
for each of the quarters in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. All
quarterly information was obtained from unaudited financial statements not
otherwise contained in this report. We believe that all necessary adjustments
have been made to present fairly the quarterly information when read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this report. The operating results for any quarter are not
necessary indicative of the results for any future period.

Earnings per share for each quarter are computed using the weighted-average
number of shares outstanding during that quarter, while earnings per share for
the full year are computed using the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the year. Thus, the sum of the earnings per share for the
four quarters' earnings per share may not equal the full-year earnings per
share.

27
In January 2001, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. James L.
Conway, John F. Phillips, Gerald O. Koop and Anthony F. Grisanti for a term of
three years for Messrs. Conway and Grisanti and two years for Messrs. Koop and
Phillips. We believe that these officers are vital to our business. Each of the
officers has the right to extend the term for an additional year. Following
termination of the employment term, or earlier at the discretion of the officer,
each of the officers has the right to continue as a part-time consultant for a
term of five years for annual compensation of $75,000. Pursuant to these
employment agreements, these officers received the following salaries in 2002:
Mr. Conway - $178,751, Mr. Koop - $156,407, Mr. Phillips - $156,407, and Mr.
Grisanti - $134,063. The agreements provide for annual increases associated with
cost of living indexes. The agreements provide that the executives are eligible
to participate in a bonus pool to be determined annually by the board, based on
the executive's performance. The agreements also provide each of these officers
with an automobile allowance, which is included under "Salary", and insurance
benefits. In the event of the officer's dismissal or resignation or a material
change in his duties or in the event of a termination of employment by the
executive or by us as a result of a change of control, the officer may receive
severance payments of between 30 and 36 months' compensation. In January 2001,
we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Bright - see Item 13, Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During fiscal 2002, our compensation committee consisted of Messrs. Clacagno,
Gallagher and Sincinski. None of them were our officers or employees during
fiscal 2002 nor did any of them have any relationship with us that is required
to be disclosed under this heading.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
In August 2001, we entered into an non exclusive investment banking
agreement Dominick & Dominick, Inc., of which Mr. Francis J. Calcagno, one of
our directors, is a senior managing director. Mr. Calcagno was not a director at
the time we entered into this agreement with Dominick & Dominick. Dominick &
Dominick holds warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $5.45 per share. These warrants were issued pursuant to a
nonexclusive investment banking agreement dated September 8, 1999. During 2002,
this non exclusive investment banking agreement was terminated.
We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Bright dated January 1,
2001, pursuant to which Mr. Bright is to devote 50% of his time to our business
for a period of two years, with Mr. Bright having the right to extend the term
for an additional year. Following the completion of the term, or earlier at the
discretion of Mr. Bright, Mr. Bright continues as a consultant for an additional
five years. Mr. Bright receives compensation at the annual rate of $75,000
during the consulting term, and we provide him with an automobile allowance and
insurance benefits. Mr. Bright is eligible, at the discretion of the board, to
participate in a bonus pool which may be established by the board. In the event
that Mr. Bright's consultant relationship is terminated as a result of a change
of control, we are to pay him as severance pay between 30 and 36 months
compensation. We paid Mr. Bright total compensation of $87,000 for 2002, in
addition to a bonus of $5,000.
Item 14. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this annual report, an
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were
effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

[1] The Company
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") licenses and
installs its proprietary software products, operates an established service
bureau and enters into long term maintenance agreements with behavioral health
and public health organizations, methadone clinics and other substance abuse
facilities throughout the United States.
During 2001, the Company acquired the intellectual property, customer contracts
and certain other assets of Advanced Institutional Management Systems ("AIMS").
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
principal assets acquired were the AIMS customer base and the rights to AIMS
Correctional and Public Health Systems software. The purchase price consisted of
180,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $376,200 and $500,000
cash. In addition, the Company may issue up to 100,000 additional shares of
common stock, based on revenue derived through April 2004 from new contracts for
the AIMS systems. The value of such shares, if issued, will be charged to
operations. The Company also assumed certain contract obligations. The Company
has allocated $194,986 of assumed contract obligations to the purchase price.
The cost of the acquisition was $1,161,100, of which $167,000 was allocated to
software development and $994,100 to customer lists. The Company is amortizing
the purchased software over a three-year life and the customer lists over a
seven-year life.
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. ("Netsmart"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Creative Socio-Medics Corp. ("CSM"). In addition, the results of operations from
the AIMS acquisition is included from May 2001. All intercompany transactions
are eliminated in consolidation. Netsmart owned an 80% interest in a joint
venture, PsyMedX. No minority interest related to the joint venture has been
recorded, since the joint venture partner was in breach of the joint venture
agreement and in 2001 ceased to exist.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management 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 the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents totaled approximately $2,064,000 and $2,035,000 at December 31, 2002
and 2001 respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company extends credit to customers which
results in accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The
Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial
instruments subject to credit risk. The Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of its customers and based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
the customers believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is
limited.
The Company's behavioral health information systems are marketed to specialized
care facilities, many of which are operated by government entities and include
entitlement programs. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
approximately 52%, 40% and 51% respectively, of the Company's revenue were
generated from contracts directly or indirectly with government agencies.
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, no one customer
accounted for more than 10% of revenue.

NETSMART TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Sheet #2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality
financial institutions. The amount on deposit in any one institution that
exceeds federally insured limits is subject to credit risk. At December 31, 2002
and 2001, cash and cash equivalent balances of $7.1 million and $3.6 million
respectively, were held at a financial institution in excess of federally
insured limits.
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue principally from the
licensing of its software and maintenance services rendered in connection with
such licensing activities. Information processing revenue is recognized in the
period in which the service is provided. Maintenance contract revenue is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective contract.
The Company also derives revenue from the sale of third party hardware and
software which is recognized based upon the terms of each contract. The above
sources of revenue which do not require significant customization or
modification are recognized when, persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and
collectibility is probable. In addition, consulting revenue is recognized when
the services are rendered.
Software development revenue from time-and-materials contracts, which require
customization and modification, are recognized as services are performed.
Revenue from fixed price software development contracts and revenue under
license agreements which require significant modification of the software
package to the customer's specifications, are recognized on the estimated
percentage-of-completion method. Progress towards completion on a contract is
measured using the units of work performed method. Revisions in cost estimates
and recognition of losses on these contracts are reflected in the accounting
period in which the facts become known. Contract terms provide for billing
schedules that differ from revenue recognition and give rise to costs and
estimated profits in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and
estimated profits.
Deferred revenue represents revenue billed and collected but not yet earned.
The cost of maintenance revenue, which consists solely of staff payroll and
applicable overhead, is expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment is stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is
computed using the straight-line method at rates adequate to allocate the cost
of applicable assets over their expected useful lives. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is computed using the shorter of the lease term or the expected
useful life of these assets.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Equipment 3-5 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 Years
Leasehold Improvements 2-5 Years
Capitalized Software Development Costs - Capitalization of computer software
development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility.
Technological feasibility for the Company's computer software products is
generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high risk
development issues. The establishment of technological feasibility and the
ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software
development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to
certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological
feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technology. Prior to reaching technological
feasibility these costs are expensed as incurred and included in research and
development. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs
commences when the related products become available for general release to
customers. Amortization is provided on a product by product basis. The annual
amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that
current gross revenue

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]
for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue
for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated
economic life of the product. The estimated life of these products range from 3
to 5 years.
The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such
capitalized software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized
amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated
from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.
During 2000, the Company acquired the Connex suite of managed care and employee
assistance program information systems. The acquisition price consisted of
approximately $47,000 in cash and 15,528 shares of Netsmart's common stock
valued at $100,000. The purchase price was allocated to computer software in the
amount of $147,000. During 2000, the Company made additional enhancements to the
purchased software in the amount of $270,000. As of December 31, 2002, the
Company has invested approximately $417,000 on this effort of which $170,000 was
unamortized.
Information related to capitalized software costs applicable to continuing
operations is as follows:

Customer Lists - Customer lists represent a listing of customers obtained
through the acquisitions of CSM, Johnson and AIMS to which the Company can
market its products. Customer lists are being amortized on the straight-line
method over an estimated useful life of 12 years for the CSM and Johnson lists
and 7 years for the AIMS list.
Customer lists at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of", the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial
impairment, and continues to evaluate them as events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the
carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the
future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient
to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their
fair values. The

provisions of these interpretations that are applicable to the Company were
implemented on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2002, which had no material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments - At December 31, 2002, the Company
had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more
fully in Note 13. As permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company has elected to
continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based
employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretations including "Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation
No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an
interpretation of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation cost is
reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]
The weighted average fair value of options at date of grant using the fair value
based method during 2002, 2001 and 2000 is estimated at $1.42, $1.45 and $1.50
respectively
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by
dividing income from continuing operations and net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the amount of earnings for the period available to
each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, giving
effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock from the potential
exercise of stock options and warrants.
The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion,
exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive
effect on earnings per share (i.e. improving earnings per share). The dilutive
effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents are reflected
in dilutive earnings per share by the application of the treasury stock method.
Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect only when the average market
price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the
options or warrants. The Company had potentially dilutive options and warrants
outstanding of 729,702, 723,385 and 974,275 during the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]
Financial Instruments - Effective June 2001 the Company adopted SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended. SFAS
No. 133 requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets
or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at fair value. Generally, increases
or decreases in the fair value of derivative instrument will be recognized as
gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative
instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair
value of the derivative instrument will be recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure related to
changes in the LIBOR rate. Before entering into a derivative transaction for
hedging purposes, it is determined that a high degree of initial effectiveness
exists between the change in value of the hedged item and the change in the
value of the determinative instrument from movement in interest rates. High
effectiveness means that the change in the value of the derivative instrument
will effectively offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item. The
effectiveness of each hedged item is measured throughout the hedged period. Any
hedge ineffectiveness as defined by SFAS No. 133 is recognized in the income
statement.
New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The provisions of these interpretations
that are applicable to the Company were implemented on a prospective basis as of
January 1, 2002, which had no material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections".
SFAS No. 145 requires that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be
classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30 ("Opinion No. 30"). Applying the provisions of
Opinion No. 30 will distinguish transactions that are part of an entity's
recurring operations from those that are unusual and infrequent that meets the
criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. The Company is required to
adopt SFAS No. 145 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2003, although
early adoption is allowed. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have
a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results
of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, ("FIN 45") "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it
issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of
obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure
requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition
requirements of FIN 45 are

effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption
of the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company as of December 31,

requirements of FIN 45 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51."
FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not
have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new
variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For
variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the
provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period
beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN
46 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

[5] Discontinued Operations
During 1998 the Company discontinued its CarteSmart division which included its
interest in a joint venture. On June 30, 1998, the Company sold this division,
with an option to purchase the Company's interest in the joint venture if the
other party to the venture did not elect to acquire the Company's interest, to
Granite Technologies, Inc. ("Granite"), a corporation formed by the former
management of the division. Granite issued to the Company its $500,000
promissory note and an equity interest in Granite equal to 20% at the time of
transaction. Granite also agreed to pay certain royalties to the Company. The
note was subject to cancellation if the other party to the joint venture elected
to purchase the Company's interest. As the Company had virtually no influence
over the financing and operating policies of Granite, the interest in Granite
was accounted for using the cost method. During 2000, the Company's 20% interest
in Granite was diluted to 13% as a result of additional equity issued by Granite
to third parties.
During 2001, Granite was purchased by The Finx Group, Inc. ("Finx") and the
Company received 496,124 restricted shares of Finx for its 13% interest in
Granite. The Finx shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. During 2001, the
Company advanced Granite $39,490 for working capital purposes. In December 2001,
Finx repaid the advance with 79,661 shares of its common stock. At December 31,
2001, the Company valued its aggregate holding in Finx, consisting of 575,785
shares at $69,490. At December 31, 2002, the Company reassessed its value in the
Finx stock and reduced it by $57,974 to $11,516. The adjustment was charged as
an other-than-temporary decline to interest and other expenses. The Finx shares
are included in other assets.
In October 1998, the other party to the joint venture exercised its right to
purchase the Company's interest in the joint venture for a $500,000 note. The
Company has been paid in full from installment payments on this note over a
period ranging from November 1998 through December 2000. The Company recognized
gain on the sale of discontinued operations as it continually revalued this note
throughout the payment period.

[7] Bank Financing
Bank Financing - In June 2001, the Company entered into a financing agreement
with a bank. This improved credit facility and medium term financing replaces
the Company's asset based borrowing facility. The new financing provides the
Company with a five-year term loan of $2.5 million and a two year $1.5 million
revolving line of credit. The term loan is paid in equal monthly installments
during the term of the loan plus interest. Proceeds from the term loan are
available for acquisitions and to upgrade certain software systems to meet
requirements in California. Funds drawn down from the revolving line of credit
are to be used for working capital purposes. The term loan bears
F-20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[7] Bank Financing - [Continued]
interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. The revolving line of credit will bear interest,
at the Company's option, to be equal to either (i) LIBOR plus 2.0% or (ii) the
Prime Rate, and incur an annual facility fee of 0.5%. On July 12, 2001, the
Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on the term loan at 7.95%
for five years (Note 12). The financing agreement contains certain covenants
including limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens, enter into change
of control transactions, maintain a minimum net worth at $9,000,000 and requires
the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The interest rate on the previous
facility was prime plus 2%. As of December 31, 2002, the Company owes
approximately $1,750,000 on the term loan, of which $500,000 is classified as a
current liability and the balance is classified as a long term liability. The
Company has not utilized any borrowing availability on the $1.5 million
revolving line of credit. The borrowing is collateralized by a first priority
security interest and lien on all the assets of the Company.
[8] Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach to determine the extent of
any deferred income taxes, as described in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences
associated with differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company utilized approximately $1.6
million of net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2002 the Company
has remaining net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,045,000
expiring by 2021. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding
substantial changes in Company ownership, utilization of approximately
$6,500,000 of this net operating loss carryforward is limited to approximately
$1,360,000 per year, plus any prior years' amounts not utilized. In addition,
the tax benefit of approximately $1,800,000 of net operating losses generated in
2000 on exercise of non-qualified compensatory stock options and warrants will
be credited to paid-in-capital as utilized.
The Company's provision for taxes for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes
certain state and local taxes.
The expiration dates of net operating loss carryforwards are as follows:

In June 2001 the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a bank, which

$12 warrants were further extended to January 31, 2003. There was no financing
costs associated with the warrant extensions in 2001 and 2002 because of the
variance between the $12 exercise price and the current market value of the
Company's stock at the date of the warrant extension.

[15] Legal Proceedings
In October 2000, the Company's subsidiary, CSM, commenced an action against the
City of Richmond, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of
Suffolk, which action was subsequently removed to the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York, for failure to pay more than $1
million pursuant to a contract between the Company and Richmond. Richmond
advised the court that it intended to move to dismiss the complaint for lack of
personal jurisdiction in New York and improper venue. In November 2000, Richmond
filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond, Richmond,
Virginia, alleging, among other things, that the contract with CSM was procured
through fraudulent misrepresentations concerning the nature of the work to be
performed and the price for the services and that CSM failed to perform its
obligations under the agreement, seeking damages of $373,000 and a finding that
it owes no additional amounts to CSM. The parties entered into a stipulation
staying the Richmond action until a determination of Richmond's jurisdictional
challenges to the New York action. On August 21, 2002, the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York denied Richmond's motion to
dismiss the Company's complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction in New York on
the basis of improper venue. The Company believes it has valid claims against
Richmond and intends to vigorously pursue those claims. The Company also
believes that the allegations contained in Richmond's complaint are without
merit and intends to vigorously defend against those claims. The outcome of this
case is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
The Company is involved in other litigation through the normal course of
business. The Company believes that the resolution of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
and results of operations.
[16] Subsequent Event
On January 27, 2003, the Company granted 217,500 options under the 2001 Plan,
following stockholder approval of the amendment to the 2001 Plan to increase the
number of shares of common stock subject to the plan to employees at a price of
$4.93, which was the fair market value at the date. The options vest 50% after
six months and 100% after one year.
