PART I

Item 1. Business

Introduction

Netsmart Technologies, Inc. is a leader in the design, development, marketing
and implementation of management information systems for the behavioral health
care industry through our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Creative
Socio-Medics ("CSM"). We license our proprietary software products to behavioral
healthcare providers and we install and support our products under long-term
maintenance agreements. Our Windows-based systems provide comprehensive
healthcare information technology solutions that include billing, patient
tracking and scheduling for inpatient and outpatient environments, as well as
clinical documentation and medical record generation and management. Marketing
is directed primarily at providers of behavioral health services, including
mental health clinics, substance abuse clinics, methadone maintenance clinics,
psychiatric hospitals, and other specialty care inpatient and outpatient
providers.

We have an established nationwide customer base, including the state agencies
that have responsibility for providing behavioral healthcare services in 14
states. Our revenue grew from $7.6 million in 1997 to $13.2 million in 1998, an
increase of 73.7%, while income from continuing operations increased from a loss
of $844,000 to income of $413,000.

Forward - Looking Statements

The statements in this Form 10-K Annual Report that are not descriptions of
historical facts may be forward- looking statements that are subject to risks
and uncertainties. In particular, statements in this Form 10-K Annual Report,
including any material incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, that state
our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other
statements relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions are "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited
to, those identified under "Risk Factors," those described in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations and in
any other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as
general economic conditions, any one or more of which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those stated in such statements.

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 (516) 968-2000. Reference to us and to Netsmart
include our subsidiary, CSM, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Risk Factors

We require additional capital. We had working capital of $10,000 at December 31,
1998 as compared to a working capital deficit of $537,000 at December 31, 1997.
Our cash position decreased from $855,000 at December 31, 1997 to $199,000 at
December 31, 1998. However, in order to expand and develop our business and
perform our obligations under our agreements and purchase orders, we require
substantial additional capital, and we have no commitments from any person to
provide such capital. Our business may suffer significantly if we do not obtain
the capital when it is required. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

We are dependent upon government contracts. We market our health information
systems principally to behavioral health care facilities, many of which are
operated by government entities and include entitlement programs. During the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, approximately 52%, 35%, and 31%,
respectively, of our revenue was generated from contracts with government
agencies. Government agencies generally have the right to cancel contracts at
their convenience.

We recently discontinued our CarteSmart division. During 1998, we discontinued
our CarteSmart division. On June 30, 1998, we sold this division to a
corporation formed by the former management of such division.

Our business is subject to the effect of technological advances and possible
product obsolescence. 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 is
designed to take advantage of recent advances in software, computer and
communications technology. Such 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. If we cannot use
such new technology, it would have a significant adverse effect upon our
business.

Our industry is highly competitive. Our customers in the human services market
include entitlement programs, managed care organizations, specialty care
facilities and other major information technology users 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. Although we believe that we provide our clients with software to
enable them to perform their services more effectively, 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, many of which are better capitalized,
better known and have better marketing staffs than we have, and we may not be
able to compete effectively with such companies. We believe that price
competition is a significant factor in our ability to market our health
information systems and services. See "Business -- Competition."

We depend on our management. Our business is largely dependent upon our senior
executive officers, Messrs. James L. Conway, president and chief executive
officer, John F. Philips, vice president --marketing, and Gerald O. Koop, chief
executive officer of our operating subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics
Corporation. We have employment agreements with Messrs. Conway, Phillips, Koop
and Anthony F. Grisanti. Mr. Grisanti is our chief financial officer.
Our business may be adversely affected if any of our key management personnel
or other key employees left our employ.

We lack patent protection. We have no patent protection for our proprietary
software.

We are subject to the effect of government regulations of health care industry.
Substantially all of our revenue has been derived from our health information
systems and services. 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, particularly those operated by state agencies. We cannot predict the
effect on our business of future regulations by governments and payment
practices by government agencies. Furthermore, changes in state regulations in
the health care field may force us to modify our health information systems to
meet any new record-keeping or other requirements. If that happens, we may not
be able to generate revenues sufficient to cover the costs of developing the
modifications. In addition, we may lose business if government agencies reduce
funding for entitlement programs.

Our principal stockholder and certain directors may have conflicts of interest.
SIS Capital Corp. ("SISC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated
Technology Group Ltd. ("Consolidated"), a public company, is our largest
stockholder, holding approximately 29.3% of our outstanding Common Stock as of
April 10, 1999. Mr. Edward D. Bright, chairman of the board and a director, is
also chairman, secretary, treasurer and a director of Consolidated, and Mr.
Seymour Richter, a director, is president, chief executive officer and a
director of Consolidated. Accordingly, Messrs. Bright and Richter may have a
conflict of interest with respect to their positions with us and with
Consolidated.

We may be subject to control by SISC. Mr. Seymour Richter, as the chief
executive officer of Consolidated and SISC, has the right to vote the shares
owned by SISC. Accordingly, SISC and Mr. Richter, who is the chief executive
officer of SISC, may be able to elect all of the directors and would thus be
able to control the Company.

We do not anticipate paying Common Stock dividends. We presently intend to
retain future earnings, if any, in order to provide funds for use in the
operation and expansion of our business and, accordingly, we do not anticipate
paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

The rights of the holders of Common Stock may be affected by the potential
issuance of Preferred Stock. Our certificate of incorporation gives the board of
directors the right to determine the designations, rights, preferences and
privileges of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock. Accordingly,
the board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to 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 of the Company. The possible impact
on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of the Company Stock.
Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of
Preferred Stock or to create any additional series of Preferred Stock, we may
issue such shares in the future. Furthermore, if we issue Preferred Stock in a
manner which dilutes the voting rights of the holders of Common Stock, our
listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market may be impaired.

"See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
concerning an agreement pursuant to which a group of purchasers, consisting
principally of our management, have agreed to purchase a portion of the shares
owned by SIS Capital.

Behavioral Health Information Systems and Services

We develop, market and support computer software which enables behavioral health
care organizations to provide a full range of services in a network computing
environment.

Users typically purchase one of several behavioral 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
offer third party hardware and software pursuant to arrangements with third
party vendors. 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 behavioral health information system ranges from
$10,000 to $100,000 for single facility healthcare organization to $250,000 to
$1,000,000 for multi-unit and state operated health care organizations. During
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, license fees from these
systems were approximately $2,270,000, $737,000 and $329,000, respectively,
accounting for approximately 17.3%, 9.6% and 5.0% of revenue for such years. A
customer's purchase order may also include third party hardware or software. For
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, revenue from hardware and
third party software accounted for approximately $2,610,000, $1,078,000 and
$1,114,000 representing 19.8%, 14.1% and 17.0% , respectively , of revenue for
such years.

In addition to our behavioral healthcare information systems and related
services, we offer processing services to substance abuse facilities and
maintain a data center facility at which its personnel perform data entry, data
processing and produce operations reports for smaller substance abuse clinics.
During the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, our data center
operation generated revenue of approximately $2,164,000, $2,235,000 and
$2,207,000, respectively, representing approximately 16.4%, 29.3% and 33.8% of
our revenue for such periods.

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 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

3





certain third party software, which we license to our customers. During the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, our maintenance revenue was
approximately $1,432,000, $1,280,000 and $1,226,000, respectively, representing
approximately 10.9%, 16.8% and 18.8% of our revenue for such years.

We currently offer four product modules that provide a range of core application
requirements for behavioral healthcare providers. These products consist of a
suite of current technology applications developed by us, together with software
provided by others which enables us to offer enterprise-wide solutions to the
behavioral health industry.

* Behavioral Healthcare Information System for Windows - This system
is a comprehensive software solution that provides patient
management functions, billing, tracking, scheduling, and reporting
for inpatient treatment facilities. This system is also a gateway
to other company and third party products.

* Human Services Information System for Windows - This system offers
a variety of modules that include system administration, staff and
client appointment, scheduling, billing, and activity recording
for outpatient and community provider agencies.

* Clinician Workstation- This system provides clinician
documentation and medical record management including assessment,
care planning, progress notes, and on-line medical records.

* The M4 Clinical Management System (M4) - This system, owned by
Mallinckrodt Pharmaceutical Specialties, a division of
Mallinckrodt Group, provides a solution for dispensing, medical,
admissions/records, counselor and reception/security specifically
for methadone clinics. Pursuant to an exclusive license agreement
with Mallinckrodt, we will sell, install and provide training and
service for M4 informational management system for Methadone
maintenance centers. M4 will also integrate with our managed care
and behavioral health products.

All of these products have been accepted in the marketplace by an established
user base, and we believe that these Window-based products are Year 2000 ("Y2K")
compliant.

Markets and Marketing

The market for behavioral health information systems and related services
consists of both private and publicly operated providers offering hospital or
community-based outpatient behavioral healthcare services. These healthcare
providers require a healthcare information systems to administer their programs.
We believe that there are at least 15,000 behavioral 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 healthcare facilities are operated by government
entities and include those operated as part of entitlement programs. During the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, approximately 52.0%, 35.0% and
31.0%, 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.

We believe that the demand for technology solutions is increasing as managed
care exerts pressure on healthcare providers to lower healthcare delivery costs
while expanding the availability of services. In order to remain competitive, we
believe that behavioral 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 health care 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.


4





As part of our marketing effort, we work with the state agencies and other major
users of our systems. Our state agency clients formed a State Systems
Association, presently consisting of 14 states. The association's members work
with our management to assess and determine future requirements in both patient
managed care coordination and regulatory reporting.

For the year ended December 31, 1998 one customer accounted for approximately
$2.1 million or 16% of our revenue. For the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue from continuing
operations. See "Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, we had a backlog of orders, including ongoing
maintenance and data center contracts, for our behavioral health information
systems of $16.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. A substantial amount of
the 1998 backlog is expected to be filled during 1999.

Product Development

For the years ending December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, we incurred approximately
$763,000 ,$201,000 and $278,000, respectively, of product development costs
relating to our behavioral health information systems.

Competition

The 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 have the staff and resources to develop
competitive systems.

According to independent consulting reports, healthcare information technology
is an $18.0 billion industry served by numerous vendors. The dominant health
care information technology vendors have achieved annual sales of more than $1.0
billion by focusing on solutions for large medical/surgical health care
providers, such as large hospital systems and health maintenance organizations,
and, we believe, have neglected the behavioral healthcare industry. We believe
that most of the presently available healthcare management software does not
meet the specific needs of the behavioral healthcare industry, and that our
healthcare 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, and have larger
marketing staffs than Netsmart, and we may not be able to continue to compete
effectively with such companies.

We have an established customer base of more than 400 clients nationwide,
including large private and government providers of behavioral health care.
During the period from January 1, 1998 to March 25, 1999, we signed contracts to
provide our healthcare information systems to ten state agencies responsible for
administering behavioral services, bringing the total number of such states to
14.

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 providing 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

5





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
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, 1998, we had 106 employees, including four executive, nine
marketing, 86 technical and seven clerical and administrative employees.

Year 2000 Issues

Year 2000 compliance generally requires a software program to record, store,
process and present calendar dates falling on or after January 1, 2000 in the
same manner as the program records, stores, processes, and presents calendar
dates falling on or before December 31, 1999. It also requires that a program
correctly handle all leap year dates, including February 29, 2000.

Typically, Year 2000 dates are being handled by most software companies through
the use of the 80/20 standard or a similar standard. Under this standard, a
system will accept a two digit date and uses the 80/20 rule ("80/20 Rule") to
determine the century. Dates entered as 00-20 are assumed to be twenty-first
century dates. For example, an entry of 18 would be assumed to be 2018. Dates of
21 and beyond are assumed to be twentieth century dates, For example, an entry
of 52 is assumed to be 1952. The 80/20 determination will be advanced each year,
starting with the year 2001, so that 80/20 would become 79/21 at that point. We
are using this standard for all new programs as well as to make older programs
Year 2000 compliant.

In addition, in some cases software companies are developing programs which will
accept four digit dates or will show the four digit date chosen by the program
when a two digit date is entered. We have chosen to use one or a combination of
more than one of these industry accepted fixes, depending on the product
involved.

In all cases, except as noted below, these fixes have been programmed, and,
where a product is not Year 2000 compliant, licensees of the product concerned
have been advised of that fact and have been provided with a method for
upgrading the program so that it will be Year 2000 compliant.

Most of the products currently being licensed are Year 2000 compliant. Some of
our products, which were developed for earlier versions of Windows are not Year
2000 compliant, and we are either developing an upgraded program or are
providing the users with the ability to upgrade the products to become Year 2000
compliant. We believe that all of our current products will either be Year 2000
compliant or we will provide the client with the

6





ability to upgrade the products to a Year 2000 compliant version by fall 1999.
We do not believe that the cost of making our systems Year 2000 compliant will
have a material effect upon our operations.

Our internal accounting system is not Year 2000 compliant. We are installing new
accounting software, which is Year 2000 compliant. The costs of such
installation will range from approximately $25,000 to $50,000.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations

Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

In 1998, we evaluated our smart card business and determined that the cash
requirements did not justify the continued operations of the development of such
business in the increasingly competitive smart card market. As a result, we sold
our smart card division effective July 1, 1998 and we accounted for the
operations of this division as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, references
to our continuing operations which are discussed hereafter will relate to its
behavioral health information systems business which represents our only
business.

Our revenue for 1998 was $13,165,000, an increase of $5,530,000, or 72%, from
the 1997 revenue which was $7,635,000. The largest component of revenue in 1998
was turnkey systems labor revenue which increased to $3,664,000 from $2,107,000
in 1997, reflecting a 74% increase. This increase is substantially the result of
growth in the behavioral health information systems business and our ability to
provide the staff necessary to generate additional revenue. The data center
(service bureau) revenue decreased to $2,165,000 in 1998 from $2,235,000 in
1997, reflecting a decrease of 3%. This decrease was substantially the result of
a special project performed for a client in 1997 which did not continue at the
same rate in 1998. License revenue increased to $2,270,000 in 1998 from $737,000
in 1997, an increase of 208%. 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. Revenue from third party
hardware and software increased to $2,610,000 in 1998 from $1,089,000 in 1997,
an increase of 140%. Sales of third party hardware and software are made in
connection with the sales of turnkey systems. Maintenance revenue increased to
$1,432,000 in 1998 from $1,280,000 in 1997, reflecting an increase of 12%.
Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division (formerly our methadone
division) was $1,025,000 in 1998. There was no revenue for this division in
1997.

Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 52% and 35% of
revenue in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Gross profit increased to $5,084,000 in 1998 from $2,747,000 in 1997, a 85%
increase. The increase in the gross profit was substantially the result of the
increased license revenue which provides higher margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,516,000 in 1998, an
increase of 21% from the $2,902,000 in 1997. This increase was substantially the
result of an increase in commissions expense, sales and marketing salaries,
advertising and related sales expenses which were partially offset by a decrease
in administrative expenses as well as other miscellaneous expenses, including a
reduction in related party administrative expenses. Related party administrative
expense was $45,000 in 1998 and $180,000 in 1997. These charges were pursuant to
an management services agreement with the our principal stockholder for a
monthly fee of $15,000. This agreement was mutually terminated, effective April,
1, 1998.

During 1998, we incurred product development expenses of $763,000, an increase
of 279% from the $201,000 in 1997. These expenses were related to our behavioral
health information systems products such as our clinician workstation,
behavioral health information system for Windows, managed care and methadone
dispensing products.

Interest expense was $346,000 in 1998, an increase of $38,000, or 12% from the
$308,000 in 1997. This increase was the result of higher borrowings during 1998
which were substantially off set by a reduction in the cost of borrowings. The
most significant component of the interest expense on an ongoing basis is the
interest payable to our asset-based lender. We paid interest on such loans at a
rate equal to prime plus 8 1/2 % plus a fee of 5/8% of the face amount of the
invoice for the first nine months of 1998. Effective October 1, 1998, we amended
the terms of our agreement with the asset-based lender and reduced the interest
rate from prime plus 8 1/2% to prime plus 5% and eliminated the 5/8% fee
previously paid on the face amount of each invoice.



11





The net loss from Netsmart's discontinued operations, the smart card division,
was $217,000 in 1998, a decrease of $2,398,000 from the $2,615,000 in 1997. This
decrease is the result of a reduction of expenses in this division prior to the
sale of the division.

As a result of the foregoing factors, we generated a net income of $196,000, or
$.04 per share, in 1998 as compared with a net loss of $3.5 million, or $1.45
per share, in 1997.

Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996

Our revenue for 1997 was $7.6 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 17%, from
the revenue for 1996 which was $6.5 million. The largest component of revenue in
1997 was data center revenue which increased to $2,235,000 in 1997 from
$2,207,000 in 1996, reflecting an increase of 1%. The turnkey systems labor
revenue increased to $2,107,000 in 1997 from $1,663,000 in 1996, reflecting an
increase of 27%. This increase is substantially the result of growth in the
behavioral health business and our ability to provide the staff necessary to
generate the additional revenue. Maintenance revenue increased to $1,280,000 in
1997 from $1,226,000 in 1996, reflecting a 4% increase. Revenue from third party
hardware and software decreased to $1,078,000 in 1997 from $1,114,000 in 1996, a
decrease of 3%. License revenue increased to $737,000 in 1997 from $329,000 in
1996, a 124% increase.

Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 35% and 31% of
revenue in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Gross profit increased to $2,747,000 in 1997 from $1,947,000 in 1996, a 41%
increase. The increase in the gross profit was substantially the result of the
increased license revenue which provides higher margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.9 million in 1997, an
increase of 71%, from $1.7 million in 1996. The increase was the result of an
increase in personnel and salaries in the sales and marketing and administrative
areas, an increase in other direct sales expenses such as advertising, trade
shows and commissions and an increase in general and administrative expenses
including insurance and an adjustment for bad debts.

In 1996, we incurred noncash compensation charges of $3.5 million from our
issuance of warrants and options having exercise prices which were below the
market value of the Common Stock at the date of issuance. During 1996, we also
issued 500,000 shares of common stock to certain noteholders and 25,000 shares
of common stock to our asset-based lender. As a result of such issuance, we
incurred a financing cost charge to operations of approximately $1.7 million.
There were no such charges during 1997.

During 1997, we incurred product development expenses of $201,000, a decrease of
28% from the $278,000 in 1996. These expenses were related to our behavioral
health information systems products such as our clinician workstation,
behavioral health information systems for Windows, managed care and methadone
dispensing products.

Interest expense was $308,000 in 1997, a decrease of $164,000, or 35%, from the
interest expense in 1996. This is a result of a decrease in the average
borrowings during 1997. The most significant component of the interest expense
on an ongoing basis is the interest payable to the our asset-based lender.
During both years, we paid interest on such loans at a rate equal to prime plus
8 1/2% plus a fee of 5/8% of the face amount of the invoice.

Related party administrative expense was $180,000 in 1997 and $70,000 in 1996.
These charges were pursuant to an agreement with our principal stockholder to
provide general business, management and financial consulting services for a
monthly fee of $15,000 commencing in September 1996, the month after we
completed our initial public offering.

The loss from discontinued operations, the smart card division, was $2,615,000
in 1997, and $801,000 in 1996.

As a result of the foregoing factors, we incurred a loss of $3.5 million, or
$1.45 per share, in 1997 as compared with a net loss of $6.6 million, or $3.84
per share, in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had working capital of $10,000 at December 31, 1998, as compared to a working
capital deficit of $537,000 at December 31, 1997. Our cash position decreased
from $855,000 at December 31, 1997 to $199,000 at December 31, 1998. The
increase in working capital for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
substantially due to the net income after adding back depreciation and
amortization.

Our principal source of funds, other than revenue, is an accounts receivable
financing agreement with an asset based lender whereby we may borrow up to 80%
of eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $2,000,000. At December 31,
1998, the outstanding borrowings under this facility was $1,640,000. At December
31, 1998, the maximum amount available under this formula was $1,670,000. During
the year, with the consent of the asset-based lender, we have, from time to time
exceeded the maximum borrowing level provided in the agreement with the
asset-based lender.

In order to expand and develop our business and perform our obligations under
our agreements and purchase orders, we require substantial additional capital,
and we have no commitments from any person to provide such capital. Our business
may suffer significantly if we do not obtain the capital when it is required.

At December 31, 1998, accounts receivable and costs and estimated profits in
excess of interim billings were approximately $6.5 million, representing
approximately 178 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1998, although no assurance can be given that revenue will
continue at the same level as the year ended December 31, 1998. Accounts
receivable at December 31, 1998 increased by $1.4 million from $2.2 million at
December 31, 1997 to $3.6 million at December 31, 1998. We believe that, with
the elimination of expenses relating to the smart card business, the cash on
hand, the increased line with our asset based lender together with revenue from
the behavioral health information system business, it will be sufficient to
enable us to continue to operate at least through the end of 1999 without
additional funding. If we continue to grow at the existing rate into 2000 and
beyond, we may require significant additional funding. We are therefore
exploring various long term funding possibilities with several banks and
investment banking organizations. No assurances can be given as to the ability
of Netsmart to obtain additional financing and our inability to do so could have
a material adverse affect on our ability to grow.

[1] The Company

The Company licenses and installs its proprietary software products, operates an
established service bureau and enters into long term maintenance agreements with
behavioral health organizations and methadone clinics and other substance abuse
facilities throughout the United States.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The financial statements include Netsmart
Technologies, Inc. ["Netsmart"], and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Creative
Socio-Medics Corp. ["CSM"] (collectively referred to as the Company). All
intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts have
been reclassified in the prior years' statements to conform to the current
year's presentation.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 revenues 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 $249,000 and $940,000 at December 31, 1998 and
1997 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, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
approximately 52%, 35% and 31% respectively, of the Company's revenues were
generated from contracts with government agencies.

During the year ended December 31, 1998, one customer accounted for
approximately $2,113,000 or 16% of revenue. Accounts receivable of approximately
$853,000 and costs and estimated profits in excess of billings of $1,260,000
less $318,000 in interim billings in excess of costs and estimated profits were
due from this customer at December 31, 1998. Approximately $1,830,000 of such
amounts were subsequently collected in 1999. No one customer accounted for more
than 10% of revenues in 1997. During the year ended December 31, 1996, one
customer of the Company's discontinued Cartesmart division accounted for
approximately $1,879,000 or 22% of revenue. Accounts receivable of approximately
$473,000 were due from this customer at December 31, 1996. In 1997, receivables
from such customer in the amount of $745,000 were written off.

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, 1998
and 1997, cash and cash equivalent balances of $150,000 and

F - 13





NETSMART TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]

$840,000 respectively, were held at a financial institution in excess of
federally insured limits. The Company believes no significant concentration of
credit risk exists with respect to these cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition - During 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition." This SOP provides guidance on revenue
recognition on software transactions and is effective for transactions entered
into in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The company adopted SOP
97-2 in 1998. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the company. The Company recognizes revenue
principally from the licensing of its software, and from consulting and
maintenance services rendered in connection with such licensing activities.
Revenue from software package license agreements without significant vendor
obligations is recognized upon delivery of the software. Information processing
revenues are 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. Consulting revenue is recognized when the
services are rendered. No revenue is recognized prior to obtaining a binding
commitment from the customer.

Software development revenue from time-and-materials contracts 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. 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. 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 by 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 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


F - 14





NETSMART TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Sheet #3
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]

ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software
development costs requires considerable judgement by management with respect to
certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological
feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technology.

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
revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross
revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated economic life of the product.

The Company performs an annual review 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 net realizable value, any remaining capitalized amounts are
written off.

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 acquisition of CSM to which the Company can market its products. It
also represents a listing of customers acquired from Johnson Computing Systems
("Johnson") in 1997. The gross costs of the customer list associated acquired
from Johnson was $255,409. Customer lists are being amortized on the
straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 12 years. Customer lists
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121 established
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and
used, and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. Management has determined that expected future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) exceed the carrying value of the
long lived assets at December 31, 1998 and believes that no impairment of these
assets has occurred.

NETSMART TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Sheet #4
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - [Continued]

Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments - On January 1, 1996, the Company
adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", for stock
options and similar equity instruments (collectively, "Options") issued to
employees, however, the Company continues to apply the intrinsic value based
method of accounting for options issued to employees prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" rather than the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by
SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 also applies to transactions in which an entity
issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees.
Those transactions are accounted for based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed
by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations and net income (loss) after
each is adjusted for dividends accrued during the period on the Series D
cumulative preferred stock by the weighted average number of common shares
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 common
shares 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.

All per share information has been retroactively adjusted for the one-for-three
reverse stock split which became effective September 1998.

Allocated Related Party Administrative Expenses - During the first six months of
1996, certain administrative services were performed for the Company by
a principal shareholder and its subsidiaries. The fair value of such
services, approximately $9,000, was charged to related party administrative
expenses, and, since the shareholder will not be reimbursed for such
charges, credited to additional paid-in capital. (See Note 7)

Research and Development - Research and development costs are charged to expense
as incurred.

[3] Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $372,797
and $348,029 at December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The changes in the

[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 a 20% equity interest in Granite. Granite also agreed to pay
certain royalties to the Company and granted the Company a license with respect
to the CarteSmarte software. The note was subject to cancellation if the other
party to the joint venture elected to purchase the Company's interest. As the
Company does not have significant influence over the operations of Granite, the
20% interest is accounted for using the cost method.

As a result of the discontinuation of the CarteSmarte division, the financial
statements for the periods being reported have been restated to reflect the net
loss from the CarteSmart division as a loss from discontinued operations. The
revenues from the discontinued operations amounted to $33,000, $24,600 and
$2,003,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

In October 1998 the other party to the joint venture exercised their right to
purchase the Company's interest in the joint venture for a $500,000 note. The
terms of the note require twenty four monthly principal payments of $15,000
each, commencing November 1,1998 and a $140,000 balloon payment due November 1,
2000. The note also bears interest at 5.66% per annum. All monthly payments have
been received through March 1999 on a timely basis and the Company has valued
the note at $180,000 which amount is reflected as a gain on sale of discontinued
operations.

During the fourth quarter of 1997 the Company had re-evaluated the
recoverability of its investment in the joint venture. A determination was made
that this investment would not be recoverable based upon estimated cash flows
and consequently the company wrote off $147,432, which reduced the carrying
value of the venture to zero.

[7] Related Party Transactions

[A] Related Party Administrative Expense - The Company had an agreement with its
principal stockholder, Consolidated and its subsidiary The Trinity Group, Inc.
("Trinity") pursuant to which the Company paid Trinity a monthly fee of $15,000
for general business, management and financial consulting services. This
agreement was mutually terminated, effective April 1, 1998. Pursuant to this
agreement, in 1998, 1997 and 1996 the Company charged $45,000, 180,000 and
$60,000 respectively to related party administrative expenses.

[B] Loans by Related Parties - During 1998 certain officers and employees of the
Company loaned the Company $140,000 for which the Company issued its 18%
installment notes. These loans are being repaid in five quarterly installments
commencing September 30, 1998 and ending September 30, 1999. The amount payable
at December 31, 1998 is $84,000.


[8] Notes Payable

Asset-Based Lender - The Company entered into an accounts receivable financing
arrangement with an asset-based lender. Borrowings under this facility were
$1,639,694 and $935,177 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Under the
agreement, the Company can borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable up
to $2 million, on which it pays interest at the annual rate of prime plus 5%.
This note is collateralized by all of the accounts receivable and property and
equipment of the Company.

In October 1998, the agreement with the asset based lender was modified to allow
the Company to borrow up to 80% of the amount of qualified accounts receivable

[9] Income Taxes

The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach to determine the extent of
any deferred income taxes, as described in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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.

At December 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
$11,363,000 expiring by 2012. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership, utilization of these
losses may be limited.

The expiration dates of net operating loss carryforwards are as follows:

December 31, Amount
- ----------- ------

2008 315,000
2009 1,010,000
2010 3,847,000
2011 2,930,000
2012 3,261,000
----------
$11,363,000
==========

The Deferred Tax Asset consists primarily of the following:

Benefit of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards $ 4,500,000
Benefit of stock based compensation awards 1,400,000
Less: Valuation Allowance (5,900,000)
----------

Net Deferred Tax Asset $ --
==========

The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the
deferred tax asset of approximately $5,900,000 as its future utilization is
uncertain. The Valuation Allowance increased by $300,000, $900,000 and
$2,900,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

The provision for income taxes varies from the amount computed by applying
statutory rates for the reasons summarized below:

provide that the executives are eligible to participate in a bonus pool to be

the event of a termination of employment by the executive or the Company as a
result of a change of control, the executive may receive severance payments of

[14] Stock-Based Compensation

Long Term Incentive Plans - The Company has two long-term incentive plans, the
1993 Long- Term Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan"), as amended, and the 1998
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan"), as amended. The Company may issue
170,333 and 280,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 1993 Plan and 1998
Plan, respectively. In November 1998, the board of directors adopted an
amendment to the 1998 Plan (the "1998 Amendment"), subject to stockholder
approval, pursuant to which the number of shares subject to the 1998 Plan was
increased from 280,000 shares to 780,000 shares.

Officers and other key employees, consultants and directors (other than
non-employee directors) are eligible to receive options or other equity-based
incentives under the Plans. The 1993 Plan and the 1998 Plan (collectively, the
"Plans") are administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of
directors.

The 1998 Plan provides that each non-employee director automatically receives a
nonqualified stock option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock on April 1 of
each year. However, if there are not sufficient shares available under the 1998
Plan, the non-employee director will receive a lesser number of shares. The 1998
Plan also provided for the grant on June 30, 1998, to each non-employee
director, other than the chairman of the board, of a non-qualified stock option
to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock, and to the chairman of the board, a
non-qualified stock option to purchase 35,000 shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the 1998 Amendment, the Company granted, subject to stockholder
approval of the 1998 Amendment, options to purchase 10,000 shares to each
non-employee director, other than the chairman of the board, and an option to
the chairman of the board to purchase 50,000 shares. The exercise price for such
options was $1.00 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of
grant.

In November 1998, the Committee reduced the exercise price of outstanding
options to purchase an aggregate of 43,167 shares of Common Stock, from $4.50
per share to $1.50 per share, which was in excess of the market price on the
date the Committee approved the reduction in the exercise price.

in the case of SISC, included the guarantee of certain notes payable. Although
the warrants were issued prior to a three-for-four reverse split, which was
effective in February 1996, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants, but not the exercise price, was adjusted for the reverse split.
Certain of the warrants initially had a November 1998 expiration date, which was
extended to December 31, 1999, which is the expiration date of all of the
warrants.

per share and 12,500 warrants exercisable at $15.00 per share were issued to
replace 275,000 warrants previously issued in October 1993. These warrants had
exercise prices ranging from $8.00 per share to $30.00 per share.

In July 1996, pursuant to a warrant exchange, (a) the holders of outstanding
warrants having a $6.00 exercise price exchanged one third of such warrants for
outstanding warrants to purchase, at an exercise price of $12.00 per share, 150%
of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the
outstanding warrants that were exchanged, and (b) the exercise price of the
outstanding warrants that had a $15.00 exercise price was reduced to $12.00.
Prior to the warrant exchange, there were outstanding warrants to purchase
838,750 shares of common stock at $6.00 per share and outstanding warrants to
purchase 879,167 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share outstanding. As a

stock at $12.00 per share. These warrants were exercisable commencing February
13, 1997. An affiliate of the Company, a member of the board of directors and a
Company controlled by such director, were given permission to exercise options
in August 1996. This individual and entities exercised warrants to purchase
266,667 shares at $6.00 per share in August 1996. All of the remaining Series B
Common Stock Purchase Warrants expire on December 31, 1999. The Company recorded

warrants.

In 1996 the Company issued 215,625 Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants as a

Purchase Warrants to various investors. These warrants have the same terms as
the warrants issued to the general public.

During 1997, the Company issued 23,333 Series C Common stock warrants in
exchange for the issuance of a research report on behalf of the Company. These
warrants were valued at $.90 per warrant which represented the fair value of the
services performed by the recipient. These warrants have an exercise price of
$15.00 which was the market value of the stock at the time of issuance and will
expire on December 31, 1999.

[16] Johnson Acquisition

In October 1997, the Company purchased the customer list and certain other
assets of Johnson Computing Systems ("Johnson Computing"), for which it issued
26,667 shares of Common Stock, valued at $300,000. Pursuant to the agreement,
because the price of the Common Stock did not reach a certain price level, the
Company purchased 5,333 shares of Common Stock from Johnson Computing for
$60,000, which is payable in installments. Johnson Computing provided software
and related support for methadone clinics. The acquisition was accounted for as
a purchase and accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired entity
were included in the consolidated statements of operations from the date of
acquisition. The proforma results for 1997 and 1996, assuming this acquisition
has been made at the beginning of 1996, would not be materially different from
the reported results.


[17] Subsequent Event

On March 25, 1999, Netsmart and a group of purchasers, consisting principally of
Netsmart's management and directors, entered into an agreement with Consolidated
Technologies, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, the purchasers are to buy from
Consolidated, in a private sale, an aggregate of 496,312 shares of Netsmart's
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1 million. On April 8, 1999,
248,156 of such shares were purchased by the management investors for $500,000.
The agreement also gives the purchasers the right to buy up to between 296,312
and 496,312 additional shares of Netsmart's common stock from Consolidated at
the same purchase price per share.

In addition, Consolidated agreed to transfer to Netsmart shares of Netsmart's
preferred stock (including the right to receive dividends thereon) and warrants
to purchase shares of Netsmart's common stock, for which Netsmart will issue
100,000 shares of its common stock to Consolidated. This exchange took place on
April 8, 1999.
