THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5 HPSC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The information presented for the interim periods is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain 1993 account balances have been reclassed to conform with 1994 presentation. 2. Interest expense is net of interest income of $98,000 and $48,000 for the three months ended and $252,000 and $182,000 for the nine months ended September 24, 1994 and September 25, 1993, respectively. Included in interest expense is amortization of debt discount of $38,000 and $218,000 for the three months ended and $38,000 and $654,000 for the nine months ended September 24, 1994 and September 25, 1993, respectively. 3. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 1994 and September 24, 1993, the earnings per share computation assumes the conversion of stock options under the modified treasury stock method and includes only those shares allocated to participant accounts in the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan discussed in Note 6. 4. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Prior to 1993, the Company used the asset and liability method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for all events that had been recognized in the financial statements. The effect of this change in accounting for income taxes had no impact on the financial results of the Company. The Items which comprise a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities as of September 24, 1994 are as follows:
Operating method $ 7,832,000 State income tax accrual $ 1,439,000 Alternative minimum tax credit $(2,710,000) Other $(1,618,000) ----------- Deferred income taxes $ 4,943,000 ----------- -----------
5. On September 24, 1994, the Company had $9,215,000 in restricted cash of which $4,397,000 was reserved for debt service and $4,818,000 was reserved for credit enhancement pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into by the Company on December 27, 1993 with respect to a $70,000,000 securitization transaction. 6. In June, 1994, the Board of Directors authorized and the Company made a contribution of $99,000 to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for 1993. This contribution had the effect of allocating 28,280 shares of common stock of the Company to qualified participant accounts at the end of 1993 in a ratio representing approximately 8.6% of qualified 1993 wages as defined in the appropriate regulations. The ESOP holds 271,720 shares that have not yet been funded or allocated to specific participant accounts. These unallocated shares have not been included in earnings per share calculations. 6 HPSC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) On July 28, 1994, the Company adopted a supplemental Employee Stock Ownership Plan (Supplemental ESOP) that is expected to be primarily invested in Common Stock of the Company. The Company has issued 350,000 shares of Common Stock to the Supplemental ESOP which will be allocated first to the accounts of certain highly compensated employees to make up for certain limitations on Company contributions under the ESOP required by the 1993 Tax Act and next to all eligible employees of the Company on a non-discriminatory basis. The Company has not yet made contributions to the Supplemental ESOP. Shares allocated to participants' accounts in the Supplemental ESOP fully vest over five years of service from plan adoption at 20% per year of service. At retirement or other qualifying termination of a participant, the vested portion of the common stock may be distributed or converted to cash. 7. On June 23, 1994 the Company executed a $20,000,000 revolving credit agreement with the First National Bank of Boston and Continental Bank, N.A.. The agreement is secured primarily by the customer receivables of the Company, expires on December 31, 1995 and contains certain financial and other restrictive covenants. At September 24, 1994, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the agreement and had $6,000,000 outstanding under the agreement. 8. The Company entered into an agreement to transfer substantially all the finance assets of Credident, Inc., its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, effective June 30, 1994, to Newcourt Credit Group, Inc. (Newcourt), for approximately $7 million (US) in cash. The Company also entered into a service agreement whereby Newcourt will manage certain accounts over the next two years for a fee related to collections. The sale did not have a material effect on the Company's operations. Subsequent to the transfers, all of Credident, Inc.'s Canadian bank debt was retired. As discussed in its annual Form 10-K for fiscal 1993, HPSC ceased to book any more business in Canada effective July, 1993. This transfer of substantially all of Credident's finance assets is consistent with the Company's strategic plan to focus on its business in the United States. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Quarter Ended September 24, 1994 Compared to Quarter Ended September 25, 1993. The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1994 was $70,000, or $.01 per share, compared to a net loss of ($678,000) or ($.14) per share for the third quarter of 1993. For the nine months ended September 24, 1994, net income was $416,000 or $.08 per share compared to $258,000 or $.05 per share in 1993. These increases were due principally to a decrease in provision for losses and interest expense, offset by a decrease in earned income on leases and notes as well as a continuing increase in selling, general administrative costs as part of the Company's implementation of its long term strategic plan. Earned income on leases and notes for the third quarter of 1994 was $2,776,000 compared to $3,836,000 for the third quarter of 1993. For the nine months ended September 24, 1994, earned income was $9,443,000 compared to $13,482,000 in 1993. This decline is partially due to a declining portfolio resulting from reduced bookings over the last several quarters of 1993 and to reduced finance rates charged to the Company's customers. The reduced bookings were due to the fact that Healthco International, Inc. (Healthco), which had previously referred to the Company substantially all of the Company's business, filed for bankruptcy on June 9, 1993 and subsequently began liquidation under Chapter 7 of the US Bankruptcy Code. The Company has reduced its cost of capital as a result of a securitization transaction described herein in the first quarter of 1994 which allowed it to lower the rates which it charges to its customers, while helping to maintain its target margins on financings. Although the Company increased its 1994 bookings from 1993 levels, it expects earned income on leases and notes to continue to decrease from comparable 1993 levels until its volume of new business consistently exceeds portfolio runoff. The Company's US bookings for the third quarter of 1994 were $9,185,000 compared to $3,030,000 for the comparable period in 1993. The Company stopped booking business in Canada in July, 1993. The provision for losses was $164,000 in the third quarter of 1994 compared to $1,037,000 for the comparable period in 1993. For the nine months ended September 24, 1994, the provision for losses was $524,000 compared to $3,103,000 in 1993. This decrease is due in part to an increase in loan loss reserves for the year ended December 25, 1993, and to a decrease in current portfolio size. Selling general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1994 were $1,705,000 compared to $1,657,000 in the third quarter of 1993. For the nine months ended September 24, 1994, these expenses were $5,237,000 compared to $3,067,000 in 1993. The increase was due in part to the Company's need to replace services which were formerly provided by Healthco under intercompany agreements between the two companies. The Company continues to hire additional sales and support personnel to assist in its transition to a diversified financial services organization no longer affiliated with a single vendor. Net interest expense for the third quarter of 1994 decreased to $792,000 from $2,246,000 for the same period in 1993. For the nine months ended September 24, 1994, interest expense was $2,998,000 compared to $6,872,000 in 1993. This decrease resulted from a reduced level of borrowings as well as reduced interest rates on outstanding debt. The Company's income before income taxes for the third quarter of 1994 was $115,000 compared to a loss of $1,104,000 for the third quarter of 1993. For the nine months ended September 24, 1994, income before income taxes was $684,000 compared to $440,000 in 1993. Despite the adverse developments arising out of the Healthco bankruptcy, the Company is replacing the business previously supplied by Healthco with referrals from the Company's customers and an expanding list of vendors representing diversified sources of new business. At quarter end, the Company had customer inquiries with respect to possible new business exceeding $40,000,000, compared to $20,000,000 of customer inquiries at December 25, 1993. The volume of US bookings in the first nine months of 1994 was $20,129,000 compared to $11,530,000 in 1993. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 24, 1994 the Company had $626,000 in cash and cash equivalents compared with $16,600,000 at the end of 1993. As described in footnote 5 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q, $9,215,000 of cash was restricted as of September 24, 1994 pursuant to the securitization agreements. Cash used for operating activities was $1,702,000 for the nine months ended September 24, 1994, compared to $1,439,000 of cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 1993. Cash provided by investing activities was $19,418,000 for the nine months ended September 24, 1994 compared to $23,958,000 for the same period in 1993. On December 27, 1993, the Company raised $70,000,000 through an asset securitization transaction in which a wholly owned subsidiary, HPSC Funding Corp. I (HPSC Funding) issued senior secured notes at a rate of 5.01%. The notes were secured by a portion of the Company's portfolio which it sold in part and contributed in part to HPSC Funding. Proceeds of this financing were used to retire $50,000,000, 10.125% senior notes due December 28, 1993, and $20,000,000, 10% subordinated debentures due January 15, 1994. As of September 24, 1994, the HPSC Funding portfolio is performing according to expectations. On June 23, 1994, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 revolving credit agreement with The First National Bank of Boston as Agent Bank and Continental Bank, N.A. as described in Note 7 of the Financial Statements. The Company anticipates that it may seek to raise additional capital in 1994 to finance its activities and expects that it will be able to obtain additional capital on competitive terms, but there can be no assurance it will be able to do so. 9 HPSC, INC. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEMS 1 THROUGH 4 ARE OMITTED BECAUSE THEY ARE INAPPLICABLE Item 5. Other Information. On November 1, 1994, the Company, in conjunction with certain investors, entered into an agreement to repurchase, 1,949,182 shares of its common stock that were pledged to a group of banks and held by Healthco International, Inc. (Healthco), as debtor-in-possession and later by the Chapter 7 Trustee for Healthco, subject to the pledge, since the bankruptcy of Healthco in 1993. The Company intends to repurchase a minimum of 1,000,000 shares and the balance will be purchased by investors. The transaction has a purchase price of $9,000,000 and settles all claims between the Company and the bank group regarding intercompany transactions between HPSC and Healthco. Upon completion of the minimum share repurchase by HPSC, the Company's pro- forma book value per share would be approximately $8.50 per share, an increase of $.90 per share over September 24, 1994 book value.

W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Pledgor and the Pledgee are parties to a certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), dated as of November 1, 1994, pursuant to which the Pledgor and others are purchasing 1,949,182 Shares of Pledgor's stock (the "Stock"); and WHEREAS, as a condition to the Pledgee's obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Pledgee requires that the Pledgor pledge all shares of the Stock which are to be purchased by Pledgor pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement in order to secure the Pledgor's performance in full of all its obligations to the Pledgee under a promissory note of the Pledgor to the Pledgee in the amount of $_________, dated of even date herewith (the "Note"); NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for $1.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which the Pledgor hereby acknowledges, the Pledgor hereby agrees as follows: 1. PLEDGE. 1.1 The Pledgor hereby assigns, transfers, sets over and pledges to the Pledgee as collateral to secure the payment and performance of all of the Pledgor's obligations to the Pledgee under the Note _______ shares of the Stock of HPSC, Inc. (herein collectively called the "Pledged Shares"), and herewith delivers to the Pledgee the certificates evidencing the same, endorsed in blank or with duly executed stock powers attached. 1.2 The Pledgee agrees that it shall release Pledged Shares which are purchased by Individual Purchasers (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) after the Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) upon receipt of a purchase price of $4.62 for each of such Pledged Shares, provided, however, that the Pledgee shall not be required to accept the purchase price for, or to release, more than One Hundred Thousand (100,000) Pledged Shares pursuant to this Section 1.2 unless and until the Note is paid in full. 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTY. The Pledgor represents and warrants that the Pledged Shares are duly and validly pledged to the Pledgee in accordance with applicable law. 3. RIGHTS PRIOR TO DECLARATION OF DEFAULT. 3.1 Until an Event of Default (as hereafter defined) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledged Shares shall be registered in the name of the Pledgor and the Pledgor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Shares in all stockholders meetings and to receive any cash dividends (other than liquidating or similar dividends) with respect thereto. Stock dividends and any other distributions with respect to the Pledged Shares shall be pledged as additional collateral and held by the Pledgee subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 3.2 If the capital stock of Pledgor shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of Pledgor or of another corporation, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, or combination of shares, there shall be substituted for each of the Pledged Shares held by the Pledgee under this Agreement the number of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding share of such capital stock shall be so changed or for which each share shall be exchanged. The Pledgor hereby agrees that any securities so substituted for the Pledged Shares pursuant to the terms of such change or exchange shall be delivered directly to the Pledgee, to be held and disposed of by the Pledgee in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Pledgor authorizes the Pledgee to surrender the Pledged Shares or take whatever other action is required to be taken with respect to the Pledged Shares under the terms of such change or exchange and further agrees to execute and deliver to the Pledgee such stock powers as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement in view of such substitution. 4. DEFAULT. If either of the following events ("Events of Default") shall occur: (a) The Pledgor shall be in default under the Note; or (b) The Pledgor shall be in default in any material respect hereunder or under the Stock Purchase Agreement; then, and in every such event, the Pledgee may declare the Pledgor in default as of the date of occurrence of the Event of Default and exercise the rights and remedies of a -2- secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement. 5. RIGHTS ON DEFAULT. 5.1 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee is hereby irrevocably authorized to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee on the books of the Pledgor and to vote the Pledged Shares and otherwise exercise the rights of the owner thereof; provided, however, that all such Pledged Shares so transferred shall continue to be held and disposed of by the Pledgee in accordance with this Agreement. The Pledgor agrees that any transfer of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall not violate the provisions of the Rights Agreement of the Pledgor, dated August 3, 1993 (the Rights Agreement) to the extent that the transfer is to the Pledgee itself or the entities listed in Schedule 1 as described in the definition of "Grandfathered Stockholder" in the Rights Agreement or (b) be deemed a sale or disposition under the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code nor an acceptance of such stock in satisfaction of the obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee or any portion thereof. 5.2 The Pledgee, upon compliance with any mandatory requirements of law, but without further demand, attachment or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor, may sell the Pledged Shares, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at public sale or at any brokers' board or exchange or at private sale, all at the option and in the complete discretion of the Pledgee. 5.3 In case of any sale by the Pledgee of any of the Pledged Shares on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Shares sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the sales price is paid by the purchaser, but the Pledgee shall incur no liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Pledged Shares so sold. In case of any such failure, such Pledged Shares so sold may be again similarly sold. 5.4 After deducting all costs or expenses of every kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees, the Pledgee shall apply the proceeds from the sale of the Pledged Shares and any other collateral towards payment of all outstanding obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee. Any proceeds remaining after the payment in full of all obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee shall be paid by the Pledgee to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 5.5 No course of dealing or delay in taking or failing to take any action with respect to any Event of Default shall affect the Pledgee's right to take such action at a later time. No waiver as to any one Event of Default shall affect the Pledgee's rights upon any other Event of Default. -3- 5.6 The Pledgee may exercise any or all of its rights or remedies after an Event of Default concurrently with, or independent of, and without regard to, the provisions of any other security agreement or other instrument which secures any obligation of the Pledgor to the Pledgee. 5.7 The requirement of the Uniform Commercial Code that the Pledgee give the Pledgor reasonable notice of any proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral shall be met if such notice is given at least seven (7) days before the time of such sale or disposition. 6. NOTICES. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their successors and assigns. 8. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall continue until all obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee under the Note and the Stock Purchase Agreement have been paid and performed in full. Upon payment in full of all obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee under the Note, this Agreement shall terminate and the Pledgee shall surrender to the Pledgor the Pledged Shares which have not theretofore been sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Agreement, together with any excess proceeds from any sale of the Pledged Shares and any other collateral which at the time may be held by the Pledgee hereunder. 9. WAIVERS. With respect both to obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee and the Pledged Shares, the Pledgor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereof and the settlement, compromise or adjustment of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Pledgee may deem advisable. The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to the Pledged Shares without resorting to and without regard to other collateral or sources for reimbursement for liability. The Pledgee shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under any obligation of the Pledgor to the Pledgee or with respect to the Pledged Shares unless such waiver is in -4- writing and signed by the Pledgee. No delay or omission on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Pledgee with respect to obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee or the Pledged Shares, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or document, shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently. 10. GOVERNING LAW. 10.1 This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. 10.2 Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to Pledgor at its address set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement or at such other address of which the Pledgee shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction. -5- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement, under seal, as of the day, month and year first written above.
