SEDONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note #1: General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the
accounts of SEDONA Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements included herein for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. In the opinion of
Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been
made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
results of operations experienced for the three and nine month period ended
September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
experienced for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The statement and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying notes should
therefore be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2001 annual
financial statements on Form 10-K as well as the Company's Forms 10-Q, filed May
15, 2002 and July 30, 2002, as well as a Form 8-K filed August 14, 2002. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year numbers to conform to the current
year presentation.

Note #2: Stockholders' Equity

During the third quarter of 2002, there were a total of -0- common stock options
and warrants granted to employees, consultants and directors of the Company.

During July 2002, the Company sold 89,928 shares of common stock in a private
placement and issued four-year warrants to purchase 44,964 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.556 per share to an investor for an aggregate
purchase price of $50. We paid a $3 sales commission and issued a warrant to
purchase 6,295 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.51 per share to
a finder in connection with this Offering.

Also in July 2002, 122,852 shares of common stock valued at $97 were granted to
employees under the 401(K) Plan whereby, at the discretion of the Board,
matching annual contributions in stock may be made. This action related to the
2001 year. Also during July 2002, a vendor exercised warrants to purchase 80,000
shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $1. These warrants had been
granted to the vendor in settlement of a contract dispute in lieu of cash
payment during the fourth quarter of 2001, and at that time the Company recorded
a related charge for issuance of the warrants.

In August 2002, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock in a private
placement and issued four-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share to an investor for an aggregate

per share to a finder in connection with this offering.

Note #2: Stockholders' Equity (continued)

Also, during August 2002, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock
through a negotiated exercise of outstanding warrants associated with earlier
financings with investors whereby the Company realized net proceeds of $400. As
part of this exchange program, replacement warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares
of common stock were issued at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The
outstanding warrants originally permitted the holders to acquire shares of our
common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.62 to $1.02 per share. After
considering needs for working capital, the Company negotiated with the warrant
holders to permit exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $0.40 per
share.

During September 2002, the Company sold 750,000 shares of common stock in a
private placement and issued four-year warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share to an investor for an
aggregate purchase price of $225. We paid an $11 sales commission and issued a
warrant to purchase 52,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.42
per share to a finder in connection with this offering.

During October, the Company realized $16 in proceeds from issuance of 53,207
shares of common stock pursuant to employee purchases of shares under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Also during October 2002, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock
through a negotiated exercise of outstanding warrants associated with earlier
financings with an investor whereby the Company realized net proceeds of $40. As
part of this exchange program, 200,000 replacement warrants were issued at an
exercise price of $0.60. The outstanding warrants originally permitted the
holder to acquire shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.96 per
share. After considering needs for working capital, the Company negotiated with
the warrant holders to permit exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of
$0.20 per share.

All of the securities issued in the preceding transactions were sold in reliance
upon Rule 506 of Regulation D involving only accredited investors.

The Company ceased to declare preferred stock dividends as of January 1, 2001 on
the outstanding series of its Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. Cumulative
but undeclared dividends at September 30, 2002 equaled $660. To the extent such
dividends are declared and paid they will then be reflected appropriately in the
Company's financial statements.

Note #3: Major Customers

The Company made sales to two major customers in the quarter ended September 30,
2002, which accounted for 43% of revenues. The Company made sales to two
different customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which comprised
51% of revenues for that period.

Note #5: Contingencies

On October 17, 2002, the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, rendered a judgment for a former employee for $361 plus interest
for a total amount of $469 at September 30, 2002. This suit had originally been
commenced in March 1998 for alleged termination of contract. The Company expects
to file an appeal in this matter and will contest the judgment vigorously. Since
Management had believed that this claim was without merit, no provision had been
made in the prior financial statements. However, in light of the above judgment,
the Company has provided for the potential of this loss in the accompanying
third quarter financial statements ended September 30, 2002.

On October 22, 2002, the Company was notified by Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications
group that a staff determination had been made that the Company fails to comply
with certain requirements of Rule 4310 and hence would be delisted on October
30, 2002 if no action was taken by the Company. On October 28, 2002, the Company
notified Nasdaq that it would appeal the staff determination before a Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Panel. There can be no assurance, however, that the Panel
will grant the Company's request for continued listing. Should the Company be
unsuccessful in its appeal, its common stock would commence trading on the NASD
Electronic OTC Bulletin Board.

In June 2000, the Company entered into a contract with a software vendor to
incorporate a component of that vendor's software into the Company 's
Intarsia(TM). By April 2001, Management determined that the project had become
infeasible due to the lack of support by the vendor and its unwillingness to
meet certain contract commitments. The Company has notified the vendor of its
contract defaults and termination and has concluded that it is not appropriate
to accrue certain minimum payments under the contract. Should the dispute end
unfavorably, it would result in minimum royalty payments of $1,350 and $1,500 in
2002 and 2003, respectively. The Company has retained counsel to assist it in
defending its position. Management's assessment is that the Company has a
meritorious defense against any vendor claim in this regard.

SEDONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes related thereto for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Revenues

Total revenues increased to $516 for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
from $416 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were $2,009 and $1,610, respectively.
The growth in revenues in the 2002 periods was primarily due to the sale of the
Intarsia(TM) application licenses to our alliance partners. The Company had
sales to two major customers in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 that
included related integration services, which accounted for 43% of revenues. The
Company had sales to two different customers in the nine months ended September
30, 2002, which comprised 51% of revenues for that period.

The increase in deferred revenues, which rose to $735 at September 30, 2002 from
the level of $458 in the same period a year ago, related primarily to cash
received from alliance partners for prepaid royalties. The Company expects the
balance of deferred revenue to be recognized as revenues in the coming 12
months.

Costs of Revenues

Total cost of revenues decreased to $374 for the three months ended September
30, 2002 from $1,909 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Total cost
of revenues decreased to $1,263 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
from $3,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Cost of revenues
decreased in the 2002 periods primarily because of the reductions in force
compared to the prior year periods and the lack of a charge in 2002 to write off
certain purchased software. These reductions reflected the Company's move to an
indirect sales model whereby the Company's alliance partners are the primary
sales channel. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company completed a review
of its capitalized and purchased software to determine if any of its products
were impaired. Based on the reduction in the overall level of expected software
revenue levels, Management prioritized where marketing and future development
dollars would be spent. Since revenues were significantly less in certain
previously acquired software products, Management decided to re-focus its
available resources and develop and market newer technology. Therefore, the
expected level of revenues from the majority of the software products was
substantially reduced and no longer could support the recoverability of certain
elements of capitalized software. As a result, the Company wrote-off $1,232 of
capitalized and purchased software in the third quarter of 2001.

SEDONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Gross Profit

Gross profits of $142 were earned in the three months ended September 30, 2002,
up from a loss of $1,493 in the same period a year ago. Gross profits in the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $746, in contrast to a loss of $1,887
in the same period of 2001. The improvements in the 2002 periods were due
principally to higher revenues and lower costs as personnel reductions were
implemented during the periods as well as lower cost of software amortization in
the 2002 periods due to the 2001 write off (see Cost of Revenues directly
above).

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased to $1,836 in the three months ended September
30, 2002 from $1,917 in the same period a year earlier. The decrease in
operating expenses is after a $469 charge to establish a litigation reserve, see
Note 5, and the lack of any capitalization of software development costs in the
2002 period. Total operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30,
2002 declined to $5,162, from a level of $6,126 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. These expenses have decreased in the 2002 periods compared
to the same periods in 2001 reflecting principally savings from staff
reductions, as well as the lack of a charge for the value of consultant warrants
in the 2002 periods offset by the $469 charge for litigation and the increase in
research and development costs due to the absence of any capitalization of
software development costs in 2002.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) in the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $(9)
compared to $396 in the same period a year ago due to the lack of a recovery of
an allowance for contract dispute in 2001. For the nine months ended September
30, 2002 other income (expense) was $(46), compared to $(1,164) in the period
ended September 30, 2001. Other expenses decreased principally due to lower
financing costs in the 2002 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At September 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents were $71, a $32 decrease
compared to the December 31, 2001 amount of $103. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, the cash flows from operating activities resulted in a net
use of cash of $2,722, down from the $5,136 used in the same period a year ago.
The use of cash decrease in the 2002 period was primarily due to lower operating
losses.

The cash flows from investing activities during the nine months ended September
30, 2002 were $-0-, versus a cash use of $493 in the same period of 2001. This
decrease in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to the lack of
an investment loss recognized in the 2001 period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the cash flows from financing
activities resulted in net cash provided of $2,690, versus net cash provided of
$3,460 in the same period a year ago. The decrease in cash provided when
compared to the same period a year ago was due principally to higher repayments
of debt as well as lower proceeds from the sale of new securities.

SEDONA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------

The Company raised a net amount of $428 through private equity placements and
$401 in warrant exercises in the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Information with respect to sales of Company securities are included as part of
the Company's financing activities during this period and is incorporated by
reference to Note #2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
herein.

The Company believes that if it can generate funds from operations and
additional sales of securities, such funds will be sufficient to meet the
Company's working capital requirements over the period through the third quarter
of 2003. The Company has incurred substantial losses from operations of
approximately $10,434 and $10,682 during the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. Losses from operations are continuing in 2002. The Company
has had insufficient resources to meet all of its obligations in recent months.
In November 2002, the Company was notified by the Landlord for its corporate
office of a default in its lease agreement, and the Company is endeavoring to
resolve the default through a restructuring of its leased space. In addition,
cash was not available to pay our employee payroll expenses totaling $208 for
the periods ending October 25 and November 8, 2002 and are pending and
conditioned upon receipt of funding. Such funding for current needs or those in
the foreseeable future may not be available, in which case the Company may be
required to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's plans include expanding the sale and acceptance of its business
solutions through its alliance partnerships; cost reductions; targeting new
application solutions; continuation of aggressive marketing of its proprietary
product; maintaining leadership of its application; and seeking additional debt
or equity financing.

Inflation
- ---------

Although there can be no assurance that the Company's business will not be
affected adversely by inflation in the future, Management believes inflation did
not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
condition of the Company during the periods presented herein.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the Company's disclosures about Market
Risk in the first 9 months of the current year ending September 30, 2002. Please
refer to Item 7A of the Company's annual report, in Form 10-K, for the year
ended December 31, 2002.

Note on Forward-Looking Statements: This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical
information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements
may be identified by use of terms such as "believes", "anticipates", "intends",
or "expects". These forward-looking statements relate to the plans, objectives,
and expectations of SEDONA Corporation (the "Company" or "SEDONA") for future
operations. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all
forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such statements in this

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)

Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other
person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved or that any
of the Company's operating expectations will be realized. The Company's revenues
and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained herein as a

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
this Form 10-Q, and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings.

Management of the Company, under the direction of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days
prior to filing this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on that
review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
along with other key Management of the Company, have determined that the
disclosure controls and procedures were and are effective as designed to ensure
that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries would be made known to them on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
Evaluation Date.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On October 17, 2002, the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania, rendered a judgment for a former
employee for $361 plus interest for a total amount of $469
at September 30, 2002. This suit had originally been
commenced in March 1998 for alleged termination of contract.
The Company expects to file an appeal in this matter and
will contest the judgment vigorously. Since Management had
believed that this claim was without merit, no provision had
been made in the prior financial statements. However, in
light of the above judgment, the Company has provided for
the potential of this loss in the accompanying third quarter
financial statements ended September 30, 2002.

No other actions are known by Management to have any
potential significance.
