MANATRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION

The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Manatron, Inc. ("Manatron" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 26, 2002.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly (a) the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2002, and April 30, 2002, (b) the results of its operations for the three-months ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, and (c) cash flows for the three-months ended July 31, 2002 and 2001.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's software systems and services segment enters into contracts with customers to sell application software; third party software; hardware; services, such as installation, training, and conversion; and post-contract support and maintenance ("PCS"). The Company recognizes revenue for contracts with multiple element software arrangements in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables, determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE"). When discounts are offered in a software arrangement, the Company utilizes the residual method, as defined in SOP 97-2, and allocates revenue to the undelivered element based on VSOE. The discount and remaining revenue are allocated to the delivered elements, which typically encompass the software and hardware components of the contract.

Certain of the Company's software arrangements involve "off-the-shelf" software and services that are not considered essential to the functionality of the software. For these arrangements software revenue is recognized when installation has occurred, customer acceptance is reasonably assured, the sales price represents an enforceable claim and is probable of collection and the remaining services such as training and installation are considered nominal. Fees allocable to services under these arrangements are recognized as revenue as the services are performed.

Revenue related to sales of computer hardware and supplies are recognized when title passes, which is normally the shipping or installation date.

MANATRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)


PCS includes telephone support, bug fixes, and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if available basis. These support fees are typically billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis and are recognized as revenue ratably over the related contract periods.

Billings for future services, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, includes PCS and services that have been billed to the customer in advance of performance, customer deposits, and advanced billings for uninstalled software and hardware.

For arrangements that include customization or modification of the software, or where software services are otherwise considered essential, or for real estate appraisal projects, revenue is recognized using contract accounting. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method with progress-to-completion measured based primarily upon labor hours incurred or units completed. Revenue earned is based on the progress-to-completion percentage after giving effect to the most recent estimates of total cost. Changes to total estimated contract costs, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. As of July 31, 2002 and 2001, the reserves for contract losses as well as billed retainages outstanding associated with revenue that has been recognized, was not material. The Company reflects Revenues Earned in Excess of Billings and Retainages as well as B illings in Excess of Revenues for contracts in process at the end of the reporting period in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Reserves for Accounts Receivable and Revenues in Excess of Billings and Retainages are established based on the Company's collection history and other known risks associated with the related contracts. The Company's contracts do not typically contain a right of return. As of July 31, 2002 and 2001, the reserve for returns was not significant.

Notes receivable result from certain software contracts in which customers pay for the application software, hardware or related services over an extended period of time, generally three to five years. Interest on these notes range from 8% to 10%. The Company recognizes revenue for these contracts when the related elements are delivered as the contract terms are fixed and determinable and the Company has a longstanding history of collecting on the notes under the original payment terms without providing concessions. Certain of the Company's leases meet the criteria of sales type leases as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." The Company's leasing activities are not a significant part of its business activities and are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

(3)          GOODWILL AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". This statement changed the accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 no longer requires the amortization of goodwill; however, tests for impairment must be performed annually or when a triggering event occurs. Effective May 1, 2002, the Company adopted the statement and goodwill is no longer amortized. The Company is currently assessing the effect of the new standard related to impairment of goodwill and will complete the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test by October 31, 2002. At this time management does not believe the step one test will indicate any material impairment. If the Company had accounted for goodwill under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, net income and earnings per share would have been as follows for the three months ended July 31, 2001:

Reported net income

$

27,740

 

Add back of goodwill amortization, net of tax

In 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was also issued. The adoption of this standard, effective May 1, 2002, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(5)          CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company previously contracted with the Town of Branford ("Branford") to provide certain appraisal services for the fee of $538,000. Branford has filed a lawsuit against Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty"), Manatron's bonding company, in connection with this contract in the Federal District Court for the District of Connecticut. Branford alleges breach on the bond contract with Liberty, misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, knowing misrepresentation and breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing. Branford seeks payment of the $538,000 penal sum of the bond, plus unspecified damages in excess of the penal sum. Although the initial complaint did not name the Company as a defendant, the Company has subsequently been adjoined into this lawsuit. In addition, Branford rejected and prevented Manatron's attempts to remedy the conditions, which Branford alleged were in default under the contract. As a result, Manatron has filed a claim against Branford for breach of contract and is seeking to recover the remaining $219,880 due under the contract.

The Company and its subsidiary are parties, both as plaintiff and defendant, to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. The Company records reserves for losses that are deemed to be probable and that are subject to reasonable estimates. However, the Company does not anticipate material losses as a result of these proceedings beyond amounts already provided in the accompanying financial statements.


Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of its results of operations and financial condition are based upon the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim periods. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, bad debts, long-term service contracts, contingencies and litigation. As these are condensed financial statements, reference should be made to the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended April 30, 2002, for expanded information about these critical accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

Net revenues of $9,497,537 for the three months ended July 31, 2002, were slightly higher than the $9,379,530 of net revenues that were reported for the three months ended July 31, 2001. Net


- -9-


revenues generally include software license fees, hardware sales, forms and supplies sales, and various related services, such as mass real estate appraisals (revaluations), software support, data conversions, installation, training, project management, hardware maintenance, forms processing and printing.

Software Systems and Services segment revenues of $7,790,710 have increased by 23% for the three months ended July 31, 2002, compared to $6,334,283 for the first quarter in the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily attributable to the Company's growth strategy, which is focused on bringing more products and services to its existing customers and finding new customers in its core states. More specifically, the Company executed a number of new MVP Tax, ProVal and other legacy contracts in Indiana and the Southeast region. In addition, continued progress was made on the Hamilton County and Cuyahoga County MVP Tax projects in Ohio. Finally, as a result of a specific product profitability analysis, the Company increased the prices on a number of its support and maintenance contracts for its legacy products during the second half of fiscal 2002, which were not reflected in the first quarter of the prior year. These recurring support and maintenance fees represent approximately half of this segment's ann ual revenue.

Appraisal Service segment revenues of $1,706,827 for the three months ended July 31, 2002, have decreased by 44% versus the $3,045,247 reported for the three months ended July 31, 2001. In addition, the Company's backlog for appraisal services at July 31, 2002 decreased by approximately $1.4 million to $4.4 million compared to approximately $5.8 million at April 30, 2002. These decreases are due primarily to the cyclical and project nature of this segment, including the fact that the Company's largest market for these services, Ohio, uses a six-year cycle for revaluations. For fiscal 2003, appraisal service revenues are projected to be between $6 and $7 million, which is approximately $5 million or 50% less than they were for fiscal 2002. If the Company is able to re-sign appraisal service contracts that it had completed in the previous cycle, these revenues should begin to increase in fiscal 2004. While the Company continues to actively pursue new appraisal service contracts, efforts are being confined t o its traditional markets in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania where it has historically had a more profitable execution rate.

As noted in prior years, the Company had reserved 100% of retainage revenue related to the Allegheny County appraisal project and 12.5% of the gross under-billed position on all other appraisal service projects due to the high degree of judgment involved in estimating the percentage of completion on these projects and the uncertainty regarding their ultimate collection. As of July 31, 2002 and 2001, the total reserve against retainage revenue remaining under all appraisal service projects (including Allegheny County) was approximately $668,000 and $825,000, respectively. As of July 31, 2002 and 2001, the total reserve against retainage revenue remaining under the Allegheny County project was approximately $418,000 and $303,000, respectively. The Company continues to believe it is appropriate to reserve 100% of the remaining unpaid Allegheny retention as well as certain other monies due for the performance of services under that contract, since certain officials at Allegheny County have continually co ntested the payment of such amounts. The ultimate collection of these monies is pending an order from the judge who initially ordered the reassessment.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2002, decreased by approximately 7.2% to $5,536,818 versus the comparable prior year amount of $5,967,573 despite the increase in net revenues noted previously. The Company's gross margin has increased to 42% during the current quarter versus 36% for the three months ended July 31, 2001. Gross margin was 39% for the three months ended April 30, 2002. These increases in margins, are primarily due to a shift in the mix of revenues and costs generated by the Company's two reportable segments. For example, the Software Systems and Services segment yields a higher gross margin than the Appraisal Services segment. While margins for the Software Systems and Services segment were actually comparable at approximately 55% for both periods, this segment is making up a larger portion of the overall revenues and related costs, which is causing the combined margin to increase.

Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased by 7% to $3,590,872 for the three months ended July 31, 2002, compared to $3,366,150 for the first quarter in the prior fiscal year. This increase is due to the continued investment by the Company in its new products. The Company incurred approximately $1.7 million of research and development expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to approximately $1.5 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Secondly, sales commission expense increased by approximately $100,000 due to an increase in contract activity over the prior year. Finally, approximately $160,000 of expense is due to additional personnel related expense, including annual raises, deferred compensation, and new hires. These increases were offset by approximately a $160,000 reduction in goodwill amortization expense due to the implementation of SFAS No. 142.

As a result of the factors noted above, the Company reported a $324,040 increase in its operating income to $369,847 for the three months ended July 31, 2002, compared to $45,807 for the three months ended July 31, 2001. Net interest income for the current quarter, was approximately $42,000 compared to net interest expense of approximately $3,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2001. This change is due to a significant increase in the Company's net cash position over the prior year.

The Company's provision for federal income taxes generally fluctuates with the level of pretax income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2002, was 34%, which is equal to the statutory tax rate. The current year rate will be substantially lower than the prior year because of the implementation of SFAS No. 142, which eliminated goodwill amortization expense. The goodwill amortization expense was non-deductible for tax purposes.

The Company reported a $244,324 increase in its net income to $272,064 or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis for the three months ended July 31, 2002, compared to net income of $27,740 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Diluted weighted average outstanding common shares of 3,874,885 increased by approximately 180,000 shares versus the 3,694,360 diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was due primarily to the issuance of approximately 126,000 shares associated with ProVal post-merger contingent stock payments and additional shares issued under employee stock plans.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Working capital of $4,606,769 at July 31, 2002, was 8% higher than the $4,282,791 of working capital reported at April 30, 2002. These levels reflect current ratios of 1.30 and 1.28, respectively. The increase in working capital is due to the positive cash flow from operations generated for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

Shareholders' equity at July 31, 2002, increased by $392,607 to $12,815,873 from the balance reported at April 30, 2002. This was due to $272,064 of net income, $14,008 of employee stock purchases, and $106,535 of deferred compensation amortization. As a result, book value per share increased to $3.20 as of July 31, 2002, from $3.11 at April 30, 2002.

The nature of the Company's business typically is not property or equipment intensive. Net capital expenditures, were approximately $239,000 and $109,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Current and prior year expenditures relate primarily to the purchase of computer hardware, software and technical tools for the Company's development and support personnel. While replacements and upgrades are necessary due to technological obsolescence, the Company also purchases new tools as they become available in the market to increase the efficiency of its operations. However, the first quarter of fiscal 2003, also included approximately $75,000 of furniture and fixture purchases for office expansions and relocations.

Since the Company's revenues are generated from contracts with local governmental entities, it is not uncommon for certain of its accounts receivable to remain outstanding for approximately three to four months, thereby having a negative impact upon cash flow. The Company currently has a secured line of credit agreement with Comerica Bank at the prime rate of interest less .25% up to $6 million. Borrowings under this agreement are contingent on meeting certain funded debt to EBITDA levels. As of July 31, 2002, the Company was eligible for the full $6 million of borrowings. As of July 31, 2002, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $6 million line of credit. The Company anticipates that the line of credit, together with existing cash balances, and cash generated from future operations will be sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The Company cannot precisely determine the effect of inflation on its business. The Company continues, however, to experience relatively stable costs for its inventory as the computer hardware market is very competitive. Inflationary price increases related to labor and overhead will have a negative effect on the Company's cash flow and net income to the extent that they cannot be offset through improved productivity and price increases.

"Safe Harbor Statement" Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical facts. These statements are called "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements involve important known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and can be identified by phrases using "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "expect," "intend," "predict," "potential," "future," "may," "should" and similar expressions or words. The Company's future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results, performance or


- -12-


achievements discussed in the forward-looking statements. There are numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements, including:

The impact that the following factors can have on the Company's business and the computer software and service industry in general:


 

Changes in competition and pricing environments: if competition increases in the computer software and service industry (particularly the segment of the industry that supplies governmental units), companies with greater capital reserves and greater diversification  may  have more options at their disposal for handling increased competition than we do.

     
 

Potential negative side effects stemming from the Company's expansion into new regional markets, including Canada: as a result of this expansion, the Company may face pitfalls that it is not fully aware of considering its lack of experience.

     
 

Pricing and availability of equipment, materials, inventories and programming.

     
 

Changes in existing computer software and service industry laws or the introduction of new laws, regulations or policies that could affect the Company's business practices, including, by way of example, intellectual property laws and laws affecting software providers' liability: these laws, regulations or policies could impact the computer software and service industry as a whole, or could impact only those portions of the computer software and service industry in which we are currently active, for example, privacy laws regulating how governmental units store and provide access to information; in either case, the Company's profitability could be injured due to an industry-wide market decline or due to the Company's inability to compete with other computer software and service industry companies that are unaffected by these laws, regulations or policies.

     
 

Changes in technology that render our products obsolete or incompatible with hardware or other software.

     
 

The Company's success in and expense associated with the development, production, testing, marketing and shipping of products, including a failure to ship new products and technologies when anticipated, failure of customers to accept these products and technologies when planned and any defects in products.

     
 

The Company's ability to implement successfully its business strategy of developing and licensing client/server decision support applications software designed to address specific industry markets.





- -13-


 

The Company's ability to assess future revenue: the Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations as to future revenue and a significant portion of the Company's expenses do not vary with revenue; as a result, if revenue is below expectations, results of operations are likely to be materially adversely affected.

     
 

Continued availability of third party software and technology incorporated in the Company's products.

     
 

Potential negative impact of the fact that purchase of the Company's products is relatively discretionary and generally involves a significant commitment of capital; in the event of any downturn in any potential customer's business or the economy in general, purchases of the Company's products may be deferred or canceled.


Changes in economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, financial market performance and the computer software and service industry: these types of changes can impact the economy in general, resulting in a downward trend that impacts not only the Company's business, but all computer software and service industry companies; or, the changes can impact only those parts of the economy upon which the Company relies in a unique fashion, including, by way of example:


 

Economic factors that affect local governmental budgets.

     
 

Factors that the Company has discussed in previous public reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     
 

Changes in the financial markets, the economy, governmental spending, and the demand for software and related services and products resulting from recent events relating to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and other terrorist activities that have created significant global economic and political uncertainties.


This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. However, this list is not intended to be exhaustive; many other factors could impact the Company's business and it is impossible to predict with any accuracy which factors could result in which negative impacts. Although the Company believes that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are reasonable, the Company cannot provide any guarantee that the anticipated results will be achieved. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In addition to the risks listed above, other risks may arise in the future, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


The Company's primary market risk exposure is a potential change in interest rates in connection with its outstanding line of credit. As of July 31, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit. However, the Company does have the ability to draw on this line of credit, which could result in a potential interest rate risk. Based on the Company's historical borrowings, a change of 1% in interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. The Company does not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The Company does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of the primary market risk exposures or the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Company. As of the date of this report, the Company does not know of or expect any material changes in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure in the near term. In this discussion, "near term" means a period of one year following the date of the most recent balance sheet contained in this report.

Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships are primarily determined by market factors that are beyond the Company's control. All information provided in response to this item consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned 'Forward-Looking Statements' in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for a discussion of the limitations on the Company's responsibility for such statements.
