Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from fixed price software
development contracts and licenses. We recognize this revenue 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. The largest
component of our revenue 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 could be affected.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 (the "March 2001 period")
was $4,575,000, a decrease of $1,027,000, or 18%, from our revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 (the "March 2000 period"), which was $5,601,000. The
largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which decreased
to $1,673,000 in the March 2001 period, from $1,855,000 in the March 2000
period, reflecting a 10% decrease. This decrease reflects an industry wide slow
down in information technology purchasing activity. Revenue from third party
hardware and software decreased to $772,000 in the March 2001 period, from
$1,482,000 in the March 2000 period, which represents a decrease of 48%. Sales
of third party hardware and software are made in connection with the sales of
turnkey systems and were affected by the decline in revenue from turnkey
systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than our
behavioral health systems and services revenue. The data center (service bureau)
revenue decreased to $465,000 in the March 2001 period, from $510,000 in the
March 2000 period, reflecting a decrease of 9%. This decrease is substantially
the result of a smaller client base. License revenue decreased to $271,000 in
March 2001 period, from $648,000 in the March 2000 period, reflecting a decrease
of 58%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of a behavioral 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 $1,044,000 in March 2001
period, from $767,000 in the March 2000 period, reflecting an increase of 36%.
As turnkey systems are completed, they are transitioned to the maintenance
division. Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division increased to
$350,000 in the March 2001 period, from $338,000 in the March 2000 period,
reflecting an increase of 4%.

Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 43% of revenue in
the March 2001 period and 45% of revenue in the March 2000 period.

Gross profit decreased to $1,482,000 in the March 2001 period from $2,085,000 in
the March 2000 period, reflecting a decrease of 29%. The decrease in gross
margin was substantially attributable to the decrease in our license revenue
mentioned above. This decrease was partially offset by the gross margins related
to the increase in maintenance revenue. Our maintenance revenue gross margin
continues to improve since the core costs and infrastructure investment has
previously been established.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,105,000 in the March 2001
period, reflecting an increase of 2 % from the $1,088,000 in the March 2000
period. This increase was substantially in the area of sales and marketing costs
and was partially offset by a decrease in administrative costs.

In the March 2000 period, we issued warrants for services rendered. We also
extended one series of our warrants for fourteen months. An aggregate of
$181,000 was charged to operations for the warrant issuance and the warrant
extension. As a result of the extension of the warrants in the March 2000
period, we raised additional equity of



$1,153,000 from the exercise of the warrants. There were no similar costs in the
March 2001 period.

We incurred product development expenses of $285,000 in the March 2001 period, a
decrease of 11% from the $322,000 in the March 2000 period. During the March
2001 period, we continued to invest in improved functionality and technology in
our products, but at a lesser extent than the March 2000 period.

Interest expense was $22,000 in the March 2001 period, a decrease of $35,000, or
61%, from the $57,000 in the March 2000 period. This decrease was the result of
lower borrowings during the March 2001 period.


We have a net operating loss tax carry forward of approximately $7 million.
However, in the March 2001 period, we provided for income taxes in the amount of
$5,200. This provision was based upon federal alternative minimum tax
calculations as well as certain state taxes where we do not have any net
operating loss carry forwards.

As a result of the foregoing factors, in the March 2001 period, we generated a
net income of $65,000, or $.02 per share (basic and diluted). For the March 2000
period, we generated net income of $437,000, or $.14 per share (basic) and $.12
per share (diluted).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had working capital of $6.1 million at March 31, 2001 as compared to working
capital of $5.9 million at December 31, 2000. The increase in working capital
for the March 2001 period was substantially due to net income after adding back
depreciation and amortization.

During the March 2001 period, our cash requirements were generated from
operations. We have an accounts receivable financing agreement with an asset
based lender which permits us to borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts
receivable up to a maximum of $3.5 million. We did not use this facility during
the March 2001 period, and there were no outstanding borrowings under this
facility. The maximum amount available under our borrowing base formula at March
31, 2001 was $1.6 million.

At March 31, 2001, accounts receivable and costs and estimated profits in excess
of interim billings were approximately $9 million, representing approximately
178 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the March 2001 period,
although no assurance can be given that revenue will continue at the same level
as the March 2001 period.

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 continue to operate
without additional funding, although it is possible that we may need additional
funding 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.

An important 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. We have no
commitments from any financing source and we may not be able to raise any cash
necessary to complete an acquisition. If we fail to make any acquisitions our
future growth may be limited.



In May 2001, we acquired intellectual property and certain other assets of
Advanced Institutional Management Software, Inc. for a combination of cash and
stock valued at approximately $900,000. We anticipate using our credit facility
to fund the cash portion of the purchase price. We anticipate that we will incur
development expenses for enhancements in the acquired software.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that
address, among other things, our expectations with respect to the development of
our business. In addition to these statements, other information including words
such as "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend"
and other similar expressions are forward looking statements. Actual results
could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of
factors, including those identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2000
under "Risk Factors," those discussed under "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q and
our Form 10-K for 2000 and elsewhere, and in other documents which we file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

by Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP, seeking damages of $635,000 for an alleged
