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 nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations experienced for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Company believes that, if it can generate funds from operations and additional sales of securities or other types of financing, such funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements over the period through the third quarter of 2005. In addition to the net loss of approximately ($2,014,000) realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred substantial net losses of approximately ($4,212,000) and ($6,001,000) during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. If additional financing is required in the period through the third quarter of 2005, such funding may not be readily available. 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 current and future strategic alliance partnerships; targeting new application solutions; and seeking additional debt or equity financing in addition to aggressive cost containment measures.

The statements 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying notes should therefore be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2003 annual financial statements on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A filed on March 30, 2004 and April 29, 2004 and May 11, 2004, respectively. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations to account for its stock option plans. The Company grants options for common stock to its employees and directors at an option price equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Accordingly, the Company does not record stock-based compensation expense for these options. The Company’s stock option plans are more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003.

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings, net earnings per basic common share and net earnings per diluted common share, as if compensation cost for all options had been determined based on the fair market value recognition provision of a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock –Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”:

Note #7: Contingencies

In June 2000, the Company entered into a contract with a software vendor to incorporate a component of that vendor’s software into SEDONA’s Intarsia ™. By April 2001, Management determined that the project had become infeasible due to the lack of support by the vendor and the vendor’s unwillingness to meet certain contract commitments. The Company notified the vendor of its concerns on several occasions and ultimately delivered a notice of breach to the vendor, as required for the termination of the underlying contract. As the vendor failed to respond or cure the breach within the time permitted under the agreement, the Company considers the contract to be terminated in accordance with its terms and has concluded that it is not appropriate to continue to accrue certain minimum royalty payments under the contract. Should the dispute end unfavorably, it would result in minimum royalty payments of $2,850,000 due to the vendor.

In January 2004, the Company notified one of its consultants, Hunter A. Carr, that per his May 6, 2003 litigation support agreement and database participation agreement, the consultant had not performed his duties noted therein, and is in default of the contracts. The Company is in the process of trying to resolve the dispute and has suspended payments to the consultant starting in December 2003, pending satisfactory resolution of the matter. Per the agreements, the Company was obligated to pay $14,910 per month under the litigation support agreement and $6,900 per month under the database participation agreement.

No actions other than matters involved in the ordinary course of business are currently known by Management and such other matters are believed by Management not to have material significance.

Note #8: CIMS Transaction

In April 2000, the Company consummated a transaction to purchase the Customer Information Management Systems (CIMS) business unit of Acxiom Corporation for total potential consideration of $4,350,000. Five-year warrants amounting to an aggregate of $550,000 were issued, $1,300,000 (with face value of $1,500,000) was paid in preferred stock, a minimum of $1,000,000 due in October 2003 (the “Required Payment”), or earlier, if certain performance hurdles were met, and the remaining $1,500,000 will be paid contingent on the performance of the business unit acquired (“the Contingent Payment”). Through March 2004, the Company had paid $47,000 related to the Required Payment. There was no contingent payment of $1,500,000 due based on performance of the business unit acquired. The performance period for both the Required Payment and the Contingent Payment expired in April 2003.

In November 2003, the Company restructured the agreement with Acxiom. The Company has issued a promissory note for the $953,000 Required Payment, at an interest rate of 8% per annum. All unpaid principal and interest are due no later than May 26, 2006. The restructured terms include: extension of the conversion date of the Series H Preferred Stock by thirty-six months, until April 1, 2006; payment of trade payables due totaling $132,000, which are accrued net of a credit due back to the Company of $78,000, all of which has been paid; and agreement to provide $262,000 worth of services to Acxiom, if requested by Acxiom. The Company believes that there is a remote possibility that the Company may have to provide future services related to this agreement.

Note # 9: Litigation

On May 5, 2003, SEDONA filed a civil action lawsuit against numerous defendants in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company seeks damages from the defendants named, and other defendants yet to be named, in the complaint for allegedly participating in the manipulation of the Company’s common stock, fraud, misrepresentation, failure to exercise fiduciary responsibility, and/or failure to adhere to SEC trading rules and regulations, tortuous interference, conspiracy and other actions set forth in the complaint, but not limited to enforcement of settlement date and affirmative determination. As this is an on-going action, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements related to this matter.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

See Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 4.

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

SEDONA is a software application and services provider that develops and markets web-based, vertical Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions to small and mid-size businesses (SMBs). The Company’s CRM application solution, Intarsia, enables SMBs to increase the profitability of their customer portfolio and enhance shareholder value. The Company has strategically targeted small to mid-size financial services organizations as the first vertical market to introduce its leading CRM application solution including community and regional banks, credit unions and insurance companies.

In an effort to rapidly and cost effectively capture a major share of the SMB market, SEDONA adopted an indirect distribution channel strategy. The Company licenses its CRM technology to Third Party Alliance Partners (TPAP), who market, sell, distribute and support SEDONA’s technology either as a component of its TPAP total solution or as a standalone offering.

SEDONA has successfully signed OEM and reseller agreements with several leading software and services providers for the financial services market, such as EastPoint Technologies, signed in January 2004 and continues to work on broadening its distribution channels, thus expanding its market penetration both domestically and internationally.

During the second quarter of 2004, SEDONA began to expand its direct sales efforts through a network of experienced independent sales representatives. Each sales representative will have a pre-established sales territory and will be paid on a commission only basis.

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 months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $210,000 and $622,000, respectively. Revenue from license fees and royalties totaled $27,000 and $555,000 in the third quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in revenue from license fees was due to a decrease in the acquisition of third party alliance partners. During the third quarter of 2004 the Company recognized $183,000 in services revenue compared to $67,000 during the same quarter in 2003. The net increase in services revenue was primarily due to the additional related party revenue recorded from ACEncrypt Solutions. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, total revenues were $904,000 and $1,387,000, respectively.

Back to Contents

Total cost of revenues decreased to $101,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $210,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, due mainly to a decrease in the amortization expense of capitalized software. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, total cost of revenues decreased to $376,000 and $649,000, respectively. The decrease is a direct result of decreased amortization costs. While total costs decreased during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004, gross profit increased. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, gross margin percentage increased to 58% compared to 53% for the same period in 2004.

Total operating expenses decreased to $711,000 in the third quarter of 2004, from $915,000 in the year earlier period, principally reflecting savings in general insurance, and litigation legal expenses. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, total operating expenses decreased to $2,246,000 compared to $2,435,000 for the same period in 2003 principally due to savings from relocation, litigation legal expenses and listing fees.

Other expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased to $69,000 from $414,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003, reflecting a decrease in the non-cash convertible note discount accretion associated with convertible notes. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 resulted in other expenses of $296,000 and $1,075,000, respectively. The decrease is a direct result of decreased accretion expense related to convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased to $185,000 compared to the December 31, 2003 amount of $59,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the cash flows from operating activities resulted in a net use of cash of $1,766,000 compared to $2,551,000 for the same months in 2003. This use of cash was primarily due to payments of payroll, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The cash flows from investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 resulted in the use of cash of $21,000 to fund the purchase of equipment offset by $11,000 in proceeds from the sale of obsolete equipment. There were no investing activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the cash flows from financing activities resulted in net cash provided by financing activities of $1,892,000. The principal increase in cash was due to proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes totaling $995,000 as well as an $800,000 private placement stock sale. The Company also recognized $100,000 from the exercise of 200,000 common stock warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the cash flow from financing activities totaled $2,606,000. The increase was principally due to $1,765,000 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes, $756,000 in proceeds from the issuance of common stock and $190,000 from the exercise of common stock warrants.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company invests its cash in variable rate money market securities, which are not subject to interest rate or market risk.

From time to time the Company also has issued fixed-rate debt and preferred stock, which is convertible into its Common Stock at a predetermined conversion price. Convertible debt has characteristics that give rise to both interest-rate risk and market risk because the fair value of the convertible security is affected by both the current interest-rate environment and the price of the underlying Common Stock. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company’s convertible debt, on an if-converted basis, was not dilutive and, as a result, had no impact on the Company’s net income per share –(assuming dilution). In future periods, the debt may be converted, or the if-converted method may be dilutive and net income per share –(assuming dilution) would be reduced.
