     The Company’s disclosure and analysis in this annual report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. When used in this discussion, the words “looking forward,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “cautiously optimistic,” “future” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterization of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements, including statements about potential increases or decreases in future revenues and expenses and statements relating to future financial results. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions or estimates of management at the time the statements are made and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect the Company’s actual financial results include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to deliver its next-generation MortgageWare® lending platform, enhance its loan servicing technology and sustain its current levels of customer support, and changes in interest rates and the mortgage industry in general, as well as the “Certain Additional Factors Affecting Future Results” section included elsewhere in this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

     INTERLINQ Software Corporation, or the Company, is a Washington corporation incorporated in 1982. The Company is a leading provider of technology that helps organizations effectively manage complex, information-intensive business transactions. The Company offers software-based business solutions and technologies to commercial banks, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions and savings institutions, including a number of the top mortgage originators. The Company’s flagship products, MortgageWare® Loan Management System and MortgageWare®TC, process approximately one in ten retail residential mortgage loans in the United States, more than any other system.

     On August 6, 2002, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Harland Financial Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of John H. Harland Co. John H. Harland Company is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol (NYSE: JH). If the merger is completed, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. and the Company’s shareholders will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of the Company’s common stock owned. Holders of the Company’s stock options will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, less the exercise price of the options, for each share of the Company’s common stock represented by the options. Before the Company can complete the merger, however, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of September 6, 2002 must vote to approve and adopt the merger. Accordingly, the Company has called a special meeting of shareholders for October 14, 2002 to consider the merger. The

Company has also filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed it to the Company’s shareholders.

     The Company’s business is currently focused on three main product lines, including its loan production products, its loan servicing products and its FlowMan® technology for enterprise application integration and business process management.

     The Company’s primary target market includes mortgage lenders with more than $25 million annual origination volume, the largest mortgage brokerage companies and the specialty servicing institutions in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. According to Company estimates based on available industry data, this market is composed of approximately 500 mortgage banks, 1,000 mortgage brokers, 700 commercial banks, 1,500 credit unions, 500 savings institutions and 1,000 specialty servicing institutions. More broadly, the Company considers the entire financial services industry a potential market for its products and services.

     The Company’s loan production and loan servicing product lines offer a set of business solutions that manage the entire life cycle of a residential mortgage loan, from point of sale through closing and loan servicing. Using these integrated products, which together comprise the MortgageWare Enterprise product suite, lenders and servicers can gain greater operational efficiency, real-time access to data and a cost-effective means for managing and integrating information. Data is entered once, managed from a central point and is accessible by any licensed user. The product suite can perform a wide variety of mission-critical enterprise tasks, including matching loan programs for lenders and borrowers, originating and servicing mortgage loans and risk analysis of all loans within an organization’s pipeline.

     The Company’s flagship products, MortgageWare® Loan Management System and MortgageWare®TC, are currently being revised to help lenders leverage newer technologies in their lending operations. The Company expects to deliver MortgageWareE3™, its next-generation Web-based lending platform by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 and has already started to pre-sell the platform within its existing customer base. The Company is also planning to release another new product, MortgageWare CONNECT™, which will work with existing MortgageWare systems and will be an integral part of MortgageWareE3™. Meanwhile, during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2003, the Company expects to generate revenue primarily from the sale of its loan servicing technology to new and existing customers and by sales of MortgageWare®TC, MortgageWare®TC Workflow Tools, and other related products, primarily to existing customers. The Company has planned releases of new enhancements to existing products during fiscal year 2003.

     The Company also provides technology for enterprise application integration and business process management directly to customers and through third parties. Based on the award-winning FlowMan® technology acquired in June 1998, the software enables organizations to integrate disparate software systems and applications and improve overall business processes and practices across an entire enterprise. FlowMan® is designed to coordinate the execution and timing of all tasks, events and decisions for key business processes across legacy systems, enterprise applications, client-server systems and Internet technologies.

     The Company believes that potential customers for FlowMan® include technology providers in vertical markets that encompass complex, information-intensive business transactions such as healthcare, insurance, government, transportation and utilities etc. The Company believes that software providers in these vertical markets can use FlowMan® as an integration/process management toolkit or component to enhance their own products’ functionality and architecture. The Company also believes that organizations

-3-


Table of Contents

in the financial services industry can use FlowMan® to support application integration efforts and the re-engineering of processes across departments and environments, even without training in the specific underlying technologies.

Strategy

     The Company’s strategy is to strengthen and leverage its position as a leading technology provider in the financial services industry. This strategy includes extending the scope of the Company’s easy-to-use, PC-, client-server- and Web-based offerings to help customers shape their business activities through the use of technology and information. As the Company is able to leverage success stories from the use of its FlowMan® technology in the mortgage industry, it also believes it will be able to move deeper into the broader financial services market. The Company believes it is supported in this strategy by a strong base of recurring revenue from long-term customer relationships and the activities of a direct sales force.

     Easy-to-Use, Integrated Business Solutions for Mortgage Lenders and Servicers

     The Company believes its customers require software solutions that are specifically designed for their business challenges and that are easy to install, use and support. The Company’s strategy is to leverage customer input to continually refine or revamp its software solutions, and create solutions that can be integrated with customers’ other applications for maximum efficiency. In order to provide consistent, high-quality support and service, the Company generally does not create customized software; however, it does enhance its products, from time to time, for certain customers on a “pay for priority” basis. In addition, modifications and enhancements requested by customers are typically used in determining content for product upgrades.

     Enterprise Application Integration and Business Process Management Market

     The Company established the enterprise application management business unit with the goal of increasing distribution of FlowMan® beyond the MortgageWare product line through original equipment manufacturers relationships and selective end-user agreements. The Company believes a need exists in a number of information-intensive vertical markets (such as healthcare, government, transportation and utilities, etc.) for enterprise application integration/business process management technology that can be used to enhance existing and developmental stage software products as well as proprietary in-house solutions. During fiscal year 2002, the Company began work to support two key original equipment manufacturers deals with major technology providers, QuadraMed and XP Systems, a Fiserv unit. These two technology companies are using FlowMan® to enhance their own product offerings — QuadraMed provides information management solutions to the health care industry and XP Systems provides core banking solutions to the credit union industry. The Company’s future financial performance in this area will depend partly on its ability to move beyond the mortgage lending technology market and into the broader financial services market. There can be no assurance that the Company’s strategic objectives will succeed or that the market for enterprise application integration and business process management software will continue to grow.

     Direct Sales Force

     The Company believes that industry-specific expertise and knowledge are required to sell its products and therefore, it employs a direct sales force. The Company retains sales personnel whom it believes are skilled in residential mortgage, construction lending and loan servicing, as well as Web- and client-server-based software applications. The Company believes that maintaining its own sales force allows it to develop and nurture long-term customer relationships.

Table of Contents

     Long-Term Customer Relationships

     The Company attempts to build long-term relationships with its customers by providing them with personal contact from management, training and implementation and continuing services such as consulting, toll-free telephone, e-mail and Web-based support and participation in user groups. The Company monitors customer satisfaction and sponsors or purchases research to stay abreast of industry needs. The Company believes that its ability to respond to changing customer needs strengthens its recurring revenue opportunities and decreases the possibility of customer attrition to competitive products.

Products and Services

     The Company believes that its strength lies in its ability to provide financial services companies with integrated solutions for originating, processing, secondary marketing, servicing and analyzing residential mortgage loans. The Company offers a variety of products for strategic and tactical business solutions in the mortgage industry, including the MortgageWare® Loan Management System, MortgageWare®TC and MortgageWare®TC with Workflow Tools, as well as other products that manage the life cycle of a loan: MortgageWare Entre™, MortgageWare InfoLINQ®, MortgageWare MarketLINQ®, MortgageWare InvestorLINQ®, MortgageWare Loan Servicing, MortgageWare Loan Servicing Gateway® and BuilderBLOCK$®. Together, these business solutions make up the MortgageWare Enterprise — a product suite that offers a means for greater operational efficiency enterprise-wide, faster access to information and cost-effective management of information content.

     The Company also offers FlowMan®, a powerful suite of infrastructure tools for enterprise application integration and business process management capabilities. FlowMan® has been integrated into key areas of the MortgageWare Enterprise product suite and is also licensed to original equipment manufacturers and end-user customers.

     MortgageWare®TC, MortgageWare®Loan Management System (LMS) and MortgageWare®TC with Workflow Tools

     The Company’s modular loan production systems accommodate qualifying, point-of-sale origination, processing, closing, settlement, pipeline tracking and information management. MortgageWare®TC, the thin-client version of the MortgageWare LMS, has been designed to reduce network traffic, improve performance, simplify hardware requirements and reduce exposure to network-related problems. MortgageWare®TC uses a 32-bit Windows client-server architecture. MortgageWare®TC with Workflow Tools incorporates the Company’s FlowMan® technology to enhance loan production with process management capabilities. The workflow system has been designed to automate complex processes and help lenders adjust those processes to their resources and needs in real-time. The system’s graphical user interface allows non-technical managers to design and adjust processes without programming.

     MortgageWare Entre™

     The Company recently redesigned the architecture of its point-of-sale system to provide loan officers or brokers with the flexibility to work more conversationally in front of the borrower. MortgageWare Entre™ enables these originators to customize their screen flows, using only the screens necessary to complete each loan application. These originators may use the system to quickly pre-qualify borrowers for purchases and refinances, show side-by-side comparisons of different loan programs and give the borrower conditional loan approval on the spot. The Company believes that the combination of MortgageWare Entre™ and its loan production systems gives mortgage originators a competitive

-5-

advantage because it can improve communication between originators in the field and the back-office processing department, eliminating the potential for error and decreasing the time to close.

     Automated Underwriting and Services Interfaces

     Both the MortgageWare loan production systems and the MortgageWare Entre™ point-of-sale solution offer lenders seamless access to automated underwriting services. Lenders gain the ability to order risk grade evaluation and mortgage insurance and request underwriting through Freddie Mac’s Loan Prospector, and the ability to request underwriting directly from Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter. Another interface connects the loan production systems and Entre to Fannie Mae’s MORNETPlus Connections Credit Service, which automates the ordering of credit reports.

     MortgageWare MarketLINQ®

     MortgageWare MarketLINQ® is a 32-bit Windows-based product, serves as a central point of data entry and maintenance for all mortgage loan programs and rates, including tiered pricing, which allows an administrator to electronically distribute up-to-date information enterprise-wide on demand. This program ensures that data is entered into the system only once — whether the data is entered in-house or by a loan officer in the field. Since MarketLINQ delivers pricing into the lender’s loan production system, lenders may compare actual locked interest rates against rate sheet data, to ensure the uniformity of their loan pricing.

     MortgageWare InvestorLINQ®

     MortgageWare InvestorLINQ® is a 32-bit Windows-based product, is a complete risk-management and analysis tool. The system helps lenders accurately measure exposure, decide what and how to sell, make trades, allocate loans and analyze performance. A pooling module provides easy allocation of loans to pools and can be used by secondary marketing personnel to manage the risks inherent with securities trading.

     MortgageWare Loan Servicing

     The Company believes that its MortgageWare Loan Servicing enhances a customer’s profitability by offering a cost-effective alternative to mainframe-based servicing. In addition, it expands access to loan data and customer information, improving customer service capabilities and increasing opportunities for risk management and cross-selling. MortgageWare Loan Servicing uses a 32-bit Windows client-server architecture and a SQL Server database.

     MortgageWare Loan Servicing Gateway

     A streamlined version of MortgageWare Loan Servicing, Servicing Gateway is a low-cost product designed specifically for those lenders holding loans for sale. Using Servicing Gateway, they can collect payments and account for interest paid without the cost of a full servicing system.

     BuilderBLOCK$

     BuilderBLOCK$ offers a 32-bit Windows-based system that simplifies and streamlines the management of construction loans. The system automates IRS reporting, tracks inspections and prints checks. The product also enables users to reduce the risk of construction lending and improve customer service. The system reduces risk by enabling lenders to monitor loans, handle draw requests and accurately issue disbursements. Lenders can improve customer service via quick access to all borrower loan data.

     MortgageWare InfoLINQ®

     MortgageWare InfoLINQ® is an intranet-based application that enables better business decisions by making it easy to distribute critical information enterprise-wide. The product can be set up to automatically collect data from MortgageWare or other systems and transform it into information ready for analysis. Customized desktop reports can be distributed even to non-MortgageWare users.

     MortgageWare External Loan-Application Interface

     This product imports loan-application data captured in a MORNETPlus 1003 Version 3.0 format, translating leads collected by call centers, Web sites or other loan-origination vehicles into loan applications ready for processing in MortgageWare. It supports data integrity by flagging potential errors.

     FlowMan®

     FlowMan® technology enables companies to integrate disparate applications, including legacy systems, to improve processes and practices across an enterprise. FlowMan® is designed to coordinate the execution and timing of all tasks, events and decisions for key business processes across legacy systems, enterprise applications, client-server systems and Internet technologies. The technology is composed of an enterprise application framework, engineering tools and a user interface. The enterprise application framework, which on the client PC may operate as either a Windows 32-bit client-server- or browser-based Web application, serves as a communication pipeline throughout the enterprise. The framework’s core elements, composed of the business process engine, business rules engine and component interface, allow abstraction of the process model and business rules from third-party and legacy applications and allow technology components such as imaging, forms, DBMS and other products to be connected into the FlowMan® framework. This tight integration protects the organization’s technology investment and eliminates the need to mandate standard enterprise components in favor of a best-of-breed approach. FlowMan® also provides flexibility through rapid implementation and modification of the enterprise technology framework. Applications can be added, removed, or replaced by other application components in a plug-and-play fashion. The interface layer of the FlowMan® framework enables easy integration of each application into the overall enterprise framework, allowing interoperability between disparate systems and across the enterprise. FlowMan® offers three-tier architecture for expanded scalability, component object model (COM) technology, object-oriented methodology and ActiveX® controls. It is deployable across distributed network environments.

New Products

     Integration of FlowMan® with MortgageWare Loan Servicing

     The Company continues to integrate FlowMan® into MortgageWare Loan Servicing. This is expected to further broaden the capabilities and benefits of MortgageWare Loan Servicing and further strengthen the MortgageWare Enterprise product suite.

Table of Contents

     MortgageWare CONNECT™

     The Company is developing a product for data exchange between MortgageWare systems and other systems that relies on FlowMan® integration and business process management technologies. MortgageWare CONNECT™ will be designed to work with existing MortgageWare systems and will also be an integral part of MortgageWareE3™, the Company’s next-generation lending platform, as part of its initial release. The product will work in concert with the lending platform to help lenders integrate electronic third-party services into their lending processes and drive connectivity across the mortgage supply-chain. The product is expected to be released for use with existing MortgageWare systems during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003.

     MortgageWareE3™

     The Company continues to re-design its next-generation lending platform to include all the features and functionality of MortgageWare LMS and MortgageWare®TC, in a new framework that uses FlowMan® technology and leverages the Microsoft NET programming model. The Web-based MortgageWareE3™ platform will accommodate both electronic input and manual data entry. It offers a browser-based, graphical user interface designed to enable rapid navigation within a loan application. The new platform also incorporates functionality previously only available from the Company through the separate purchase of MarketLINQ, InfoLINQ and the MortgageWare External Loan Application Interface. The platform can also be customized by the organization: users can create new screens, design business process flows and integrate third-party systems and technologies into their business processes. The platform will be commercially released in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company has already sold the product into a portion of its customer base and the related revenue will be recognized upon delivery of the product.

     Default-Management Module for MortgageWare Loan Servicing

     The Company has signed an agreement to integrate a proven, third-party default management system into its loan servicing platform. The Company will private-label the new module, which fills a key functionality gap, for commercial release during the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company believes that the product will make the overall system more attractive to larger loan servicers.

Complementary Products and Services

     The Company provides training, implementation services and consulting services to assist its customers in the use of its software. These services are typically performed at the customer’s location and are tailored to meet the customer’s needs. Customers may also attend regional training seminars or consult one of the Company’s regionally-based trainers for individual assistance.

     The Company has entered into several strategic alliances with organizations offering complementary products. Electronic forms and custom electronic documents necessary in the loan production process are available to customers through a special marketing agreement with VMP Electronic Laser Forms, Inc., a division of CBF Systems, Inc. Under this agreement, customers are introduced to these products by the Company’s direct sales force. Responsibility for producing, maintaining compliance and shipping documents to customers is held by VMP. The Company receives a percentage of the revenue collected by VMP.

Table of Contents

     The Company has developed interfaces to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae networks to facilitate delivery of closed loans. In addition, the Company has developed several programs to export servicing data to loan servicing systems for its customers.

     Other relationships include a reselling agreement with NetUpdate, which offers Web-based point-of-sale tools to MortgageWare customers, and a revenue-sharing arrangement with SwiftView for its SwiftSend product, which enables e-delivery of MortgageWare-produced loan documents.

Customer Service and Support

     The Company believes that excellent customer service is vital to its success and future growth. For many customers, the MortgageWare Enterprise products have become critical to their daily operations. Accordingly, customers rely on the Company for continued support and enhancement of its products. Customers who buy licenses to use the Company’s products also purchase an annual support contract. Customers are required to purchase support contracts to receive product upgrades and to receive customer support services.

     The Company has a Major Account Services group to serve the needs of its largest customers. As of June 30, 2002, 47 of its customers were included in the program. The Major Account Services staff acts as liaison for each major account customer, following up on issues and setting priorities for system enhancements. With this program, the Company believes that it can better address the needs of its largest customers and improve overall service for all its customers.

Product Development

     The Company examines new technologies and platforms on an ongoing basis to determine their potential benefits to customers.

     The MortgageWare Enterprise product suite continues to evolve based on input from many sources, including customers who submit and track software enhancement requests over the Web to suggest corrections or enhancements. The Company maintains a database of all product support calls, which provides feedback to its Product Development department. In addition, the Company maintains a database that is accessible to registered customers via the Internet that provides product and troubleshooting information.

     The Company is currently revising its flagship loan production systems and expects to deliver a replacement for MortgageWare LMS and MortgageWare®TC during the third quarter of fiscal year 2003.

     The Company is organized into product-line focused teams working on products or closely related groups of products. These teams are led by senior managers with work experience in customer environments directly related to their respective products. Product line management assumes responsibility for product-line profitability, as well as product content and quality. Remaining personnel in these teams typically possess similar qualifications with additional experience in the systems analysis or quality assurance disciplines. Engineering and release preparation services are provided to the product lines through a matrix reporting relationship. Employees on these teams are selected for their expertise in software architecture, programming languages, quality assurance automation or technical writing.

Table of Contents

     The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change or evolving industry standards, that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these products or that its new products and product enhancements will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. If the Company is unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products or enhancements of existing products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if the Company is unable to develop appropriate partnerships to bring this product to market, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

Sales and Marketing

     The Company employs a direct sales force because it believes that considerable expertise is required to sell its mortgage technology products and that strong customer relationships are key to its success. As of June 30, 2002, the Company employed one national sales manager, four regional sales executives charged with generating new business and four regional account managers selling to current customers based on their changing business needs. The sales and account executives are located throughout the country and are each responsible for an assigned geographic territory corresponding to a quadrant of the country. These personnel are supported by a customer account services team handling contracts and other administrative details.

     Sales leads are generated through various sources, including magazine advertising, industry databases, trade shows, purchased lists, direct mail, telemarketing, customer referral and membership in various trade organizations. The Company tracks lead sources to determine the most cost-effective use of its promotional budget.

     Customers

     The Company’s mortgage technology customer base is geographically diverse and covers a broad range of sizes and types of financial institutions. MortgageWare products are installed and currently supported for customers in 50 states plus Puerto Rico and Guam. As of June 30, 2002, this customer base was composed of approximately 20% mortgage brokers, 12% mortgage banks, 30% commercial banks, 26% credit unions, 5% savings institutions and 7% specialized servicing institutions and other organizations. In fiscal year 2002, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues.

     Competition

     The market for mortgage-related software products is highly competitive. The Company’s competitors include: software vendors offering integrated financial services packages; software consultants and value-added resellers who deliver custom or customized software products; in-house management information services and programming resources of some of the Company’s larger existing and potential customers; and software vendors and service bureaus (outsourcers) offering specialized products for the mortgage lending industry.

-10-


Table of Contents

     The Company believes the main competitive factors include price, features, functionality and customer support. Some competitive products cost significantly less than MortgageWare software, and price-sensitive buyers tend to choose these products. Competitors market competing products on mainframe-, mini-computer-, PC-, server- and Web-based platforms with a wide array of pricing. Some competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and sales resources than the Company; some offer financial services products not offered by the Company. The Company believes it is the leading provider of server-based software for residential mortgage loan production.

     In addition to the Company’s current competitors, there are many companies involved in providing software and related services to segments of the financial services industry other than residential mortgage lending. Because of similarities both in the customer base and the types of products and services provided compared to those of the Company, these companies are potential competitors of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company would be successful in competing against these potential competitors should any of them decide to enter the Company’s market.

     The enterprise application integration/business process management software market is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. Competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services offered. Some companies are stronger on the integration side and some focus on the business process management side. Some of these companies offer tool kits; others offer solutions complete with process templates reflecting specific vertical market expertise. A number of companies have already captured significant market share, including IBM, Tibco, webMethods, SeeBeyond and Vitria.

     Many of the Company’s current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company; some offer complementary products not offered by the Company. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than the Company can. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not materially adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

General Corporate Information

Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

     The Company regards its software as proprietary and essential to its business. The Company relies primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, license agreements and other intellectual property protection methods to protect its proprietary technology. In September 1998, the Company received a patent covering part of the FlowMan® technology, which will expire in April 2015.

     Despite the Company’s efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy the Company’s products or to obtain and use its proprietary information. Policing unauthorized use of the Company’s products is difficult, and since the Company is unable to determine the extent to which piracy of its software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. There can be no assurance that the Company’s means of protecting its proprietary rights will be adequate or that competitors will not independently develop similar technology.

-11-


Table of Contents

     There has been frequent litigation in the computer industry regarding intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that third parties will not, in the future, claim infringement by the Company with respect to current or future products, trademarks or other proprietary rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause diversion of management’s attention, cause product release delays, require the Company to redesign its products or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, any of which occurrences could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Manufacturing

     The principal materials used in the Company’s products include compact disks (or computer diskettes) and documentation. The manufacturing process includes the development and testing of software by the Company, plus the production of a master copy for duplication. The Company contracts with an outside source to duplicate major product releases and updates. Accompanying documentation in paper form, which is minimal since most documentation is delivered electronically, is created by the Company and sent to an outside source to be reproduced. The Company generally ships products within a few business days after receipt of an order. The Company typically has little or no software backlog. At June 30, 2002, excluding the pre-release orders for its next-generation platform, MortgageWareE3™, the Company’s software backlog was insignificant.

Mortgage Lending Regulations

     The residential mortgage lending industry is subject to a variety of government regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, which prohibit discrimination and require the disclosure of certain basic information to borrowers concerning credit terms and settlement costs. Additionally, there are various federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern mortgage lending activities, including consumer protection and usury statutes. Entities engaged in making and selling mortgage loans are often subject to the rules and regulations of one or more of the investors, guarantors and insurers of residential mortgage loans, including the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Government National Mortgage Association. These agencies regulate the origination, processing, underwriting, selling, securitization and servicing of mortgage loans, prohibit discrimination, establish underwriting guidelines, provide for inspections and appraisals, require credit reports on prospective borrowers and fix maximum loan amounts.

     Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could lead to a lender’s loss of approved status, termination of its servicing contracts without compensation, demands for indemnification or loan repurchase, class action lawsuits and administrative enforcement actions. Should loan production processes or documentation arising from use of the Company’s products result in a customer violating such requirements, such customer, or the government authority whose requirements were not met, might claim that the Company is responsible, which could have an adverse effect upon the Company and its reputation in the mortgage lending industry, regardless of outcome.

Certain Additional Factors Affecting Future Results

     There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting new customers in the mortgage technology market, or that its existing customers will continue to purchase its products and support services. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company’s new mortgage technology products and services will be released in a timely fashion or that, if and when released, new products or services will be well received by its target market or that others will not successfully develop competing products and services. Each of these events could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s revenues, financial condition or results of operations.

     There is no assurance that the Company will be successful achieving its strategic objectives in maximizing the return on its investment in the FlowMan® technology. In addition, there is no assurance that others will not successfully develop competing products and services. Each of these events could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s revenues, financial condition or results of operations.

     Continued expansion of the Company’s operations in the enterprise application integration and business process management software market might require significant additional expenses and capital and could strain the Company’s management, financial and operational resources. Furthermore, gross margins attributable to this business area could be lower than those associated with the Company’s historical business activities. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to expand its operations in a cost-effective or timely manner. Furthermore, any new products launched by the Company that are not favorably received by consumers could damage the Company’s reputation or the INTERLINQ brand. The lack of market acceptance of such products or the Company’s inability to generate satisfactory revenues from such expanded services or products to offset their cost could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. It is difficult for the Company to accurately estimate unit sales of its products and the volume of annual support contracts that its customers will purchase due in general to the nature of the software markets, and specifically to the cyclical and volatile nature of the residential mortgage lending market, and the development stage of the enterprise application integration market.

     The Company’s revenues continue to be tied to the prevailing interest-rate environment. In early 1994, the residential mortgage lending market experienced a reduction in mortgage refinance volumes due to a rise in interest rates. The Company experienced a significant decrease in net revenues, operating income and net income during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1994 which continued through most of fiscal year 1995. During fiscal years 1997, 1998 and 1999, in part due to the increase in mortgage lending and refinance volumes, the Company had increased revenues, operating income and net income.

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999 and through December 2000, mortgage-lending rates began to rise and the mortgage lending and refinance volumes decreased substantially. As a result, the Company experienced a significant decrease in net revenues, operating income and net income. Net revenues began to grow again as interest rates dropped and stayed low during the second half of fiscal year 2001 and throughout fiscal year 2002. There can be no assurance that mortgage-lending rates will not rise again. A continued high-interest-rate environment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, profitability or financial condition.

     The Company may in the future be party to litigation arising in the course of business, including claims that the Company allegedly infringes third-party trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

     The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National Market. To maintain this listing, the Company must continue to satisfy ongoing listing requirements, including consistently maintaining a minimum of $10 million of shareholders’ equity beginning November 1, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $7.9 million. The Company is unlikely to meet the Nasdaq National Market minimum shareholders’ equity requirement unless it conducts an equity financing of sufficient size. The Company may be unable to complete such an equity financing, and even if such a financing is successfully completed, it will result in significant dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company fails to satisfy the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement, the Nasdaq National Market’s alternative listing standard would require the Company to have a market capitalization of $50 million (or total assets and total revenue of $50 million each), a public float of 1.1 million shares having a market value of $15 million and a minimum bid price of $3 per share. The Company currently does not meet these alternative requirements, and it is unlikely that it will do so by November 1, 2002. If the Company does not meet the Nasdaq National Market continuing listing requirements, Nasdaq could initiate delisting procedures at any time after November 1, 2002. As part of this procedure, the Company believes it will have an opportunity to present a plan for achieving compliance with the Nasdaq National Market continuing listing requirements. If necessary, the Company will present such a plan. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the Company would be granted an extension of time to comply. If, however, Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan or if the Company fails to meet the listing requirements within any extension period granted in response to the plan, the Company would lose its Nasdaq National Market listing. In that event, the Company would likely seek listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, both of which are viewed by many investors as a less liquid marketplace. Loss of the Company’s Nasdaq National Market listing could make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital or complete acquisitions and also complicate compliance with state “blue sky” laws. In addition, the market price of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected by the loss of its Nasdaq National Market listing.

Employees

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company employed 151 people, including 14 in sales and marketing, 79 in product development, 33 in customer service and 25 in operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

     The Company’s disclosure and analysis in this annual report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. When used in this discussion, the words “looking forward,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “cautiously optimistic,” “future” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterization of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements, including statements about potential increases or decreases in future revenues and expenses and future financial results. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions or estimates of management at the time the statements are made and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect the Company’s actual financial results include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to deliver its next-generation MortgageWare lending platform, enhance its loan servicing technology and sustain its current levels of customer support, failure to realize anticipated cost-savings from its fiscal year 2001 restructuring on a sustained basis, or at all, and changes in interest rates and the mortgage industry in general, as well as the “Certain Additional Factors Affecting Future Results” section included elsewhere in this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Introduction

Overview

     INTERLINQ Software Corporation, established in 1982, provides software technology for organizations in the mortgage-lending marketplace. Customers include banks, savings institutions, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers and credit unions, including a number of the top 100 mortgage originators. Mortgage lenders began automating the process of originating, processing and closing mortgage loans in the mid-1980s, during which time the Company introduced its flagship product MortgageWare LMS. Since then, the Company has introduced a number of additional products to manage a loan through its entire life cycle, including MortgageWare Loan Servicing which is used to service mortgage loans after closing and funding. Generally, when interest rates are low and mortgage volumes are high, customers and prospective customers purchase more automation infrastructure. On the other hand, when interest rates are high and mortgage volumes are low, customers and prospective customers slow down or stop purchasing automation infrastructure. As a result, the Company’s financial results have historically followed the cyclical nature of the mortgage-lending industry.

     Flowman®, the Company’s enterprise technology product, is a business solution designed to provide a process-centered enterprise application integration framework. The Company is striving to maximize the return of its investment in the FlowMan® technology within its MortgageWare Enterprise product suite and the financial services industry. FlowMan® has been integrated with MortgageWare®TC and is the core framework for the Company’s next generation web-based MortgageWareE3™. It is also currently being integrated with MortgageWare Loan Servicing. The Company also plans to continue to

license this technology to other software providers in vertical markets both inside and outside of the financial services industry.

     The Company believes that over the course of the last decade mortgage lenders have purchased technological infrastructure in order to improve their profit margins as well as to increase their production capacity in times of high mortgage origination volume. In fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the Company focused its product development effort to provide a more diverse and integrated enterprise solution for the mortgage-lending industry. The product suite developed by the Company was designed to provide customers with a platform that would help them reduce their unit costs and, accordingly, increase their profit margins. The Company believes that in the long term, mortgage lenders will need to continue to focus their purchasing decisions on solutions that reduce unit costs and, accordingly, increase profit margins.

     The Company is currently migrating the MortgageWare lending system to a new architectural platform to upgrade the graphical user interface and the database structure. This project is expected to result in a new product that offers a commercially competitive loan production system on a technologically advanced platform. The Company expects that existing customers will benefit from the Company’s efforts to ensure the new product’s compatibility with other products in the MortgageWare Enterprise product suite and its similarity to previous versions of the loan management system. The intent is to leverage its customer’s investments in user training, business process definition, hardware and operating system software. We expect that this will shorten the adoption curve and reduce the expense typically associated with major application conversion efforts.

     Near the end of the 1999 fiscal year, mortgage interest rates began to rise. As a result, the Company began to observe a softening in the sales environment driven by reduced mortgage origination volumes as well as by uncertainties related to Year 2000 issues. This environment continued through fiscal year 2000 and fiscal year 2001 as mortgage-lending volumes were down through December 2000. Mortgage lending volumes began increasing in January 2001, and compared to most historical volumes have remained high through the end of fiscal year 2002. This increase in lending volume has led to certain customers purchasing additional capacity, but the Company has not yet seen its customers adding large-scale capacity. The Company believes that this is due in part to its customers’ caution about the lending environment and in part to uncertainty about the Company’s development plans and schedules. Most recently, the Company believes that the sales of its existing MortgageWare products have been negatively impacted by the approaching planned release of MortgageWareE3™.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company’s audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these audited financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and areas that require the most significant judgments and estimates to be used in the preparation of the audited financial statements are:

Table of Contents

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), which provides specific industry guidance and stipulates that revenue recognized from software arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer support, consulting and implementation services, or training. Under SOP 97-2, the determination of fair value is based on objective evidence that is specific to the vendor. If such evidence of fair value for each element of the arrangement does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such time that evidence of fair value does exist or until all elements of the arrangement are delivered. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed and determinable, collectibility is probable and the arrangement does not require significant customization of the software.

     Software support fees are recognized over the life of the related service contracts. Deferred software support fees represent fees charged to customers but not yet recognized as revenue.

     Other revenues include training fees, consultation services, and custom document fees. These revenues are recognized when the related service is completed or when the goods are shipped, as applicable.

     Revenue from software license agreements with original equipment manufacturers, whereby the Company provides ongoing support over the term of the contract, is generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

     Product Development and Capitalized Software Costs

     Software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development are charged to product development expense in the period the costs are incurred until technological feasibility is established. Technological feasibility is established after the completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software product development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Software costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of technologically feasible products developed externally are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.

     Amortization of capitalized software costs begins when the related software is available for general release to customers and is provided for each software product based on the greater of (i) the ratio of current gross revenues to total current and anticipated future gross revenues for the related software or (ii) the straight-line method over two to five years, based on the remaining economic life of the software.

     The estimates of anticipated future gross revenues and remaining economic life of the Company’s products are subject to risks inherent in the software industry, such as changes in technology and customer perceptions. Management regularly reviews these estimates and makes adjustments as appropriate.

     The Company’s capitalization and amortization of development costs depend on the determination of technological feasibility and the recoverability of those costs in future periods. Changes in estimates surrounding technological feasibility and the recoverability of capitalized development costs would likely materially impact the amount of costs capitalized and the period over which the capitalized costs would be amortized to expense.

     Accounts Receivable

     The Company performs a quarterly analysis to determine the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. This analysis includes various analytical procedures and a review of factors, including specific individual balances selected from a cross-section of the accounts that comprise total accounts receivable, our history of collections, as well as the overall economic environment. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate of the Company’s inability to collect accounts receivable and actual collections may be different than these estimates. Changes in the estimates may materially impact the amount of bad debt expense recorded by the Company.

     Software license fees increased by 8% for fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001, and decreased by 32% for fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000. The Company attributes the increase in software license fees for fiscal year 2002 to stronger sales environment primarily due to lower mortgage-lending rates and higher refinancing volumes (as previously discussed). The Company attributes the decrease in software license fees for fiscal year 2001 to uncertainty surrounding the future of the Company and the market’s perception of the Company’s current product offering as well as a slow lending environment during the first half of the fiscal year. During fiscal year 2001, the Company announced that it had retained an investment banker to assist in a search for a strategic partner or acquirer. This project was halted in April 2001. In addition, the Company believes its sales suffered as a result of the perception that the Company’s flagship products, MortgageWare® Loan Management System and MortgageWare®TC, although acknowledged to be comprehensive and reliable, employ an older underlying technology. The Company is currently re-writing this product and expects to deliver a beta-version of it’s new loan production system by the end of calendar year 2002, with commercial release of the product scheduled for the first quarter of calendar year 2003.

     Software support fees increased by 4% for fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001, and decreased by 1% for fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000. Software support fees are calculated as a percentage of a customer’s software value. The increase for fiscal year 2002 was due mostly to slightly higher software license fees over the prior year and higher support fees charged for certain products. The decrease for fiscal year 2001 was due to a decrease in the cumulative installed base of the Company’s software, which was offset somewhat by higher support fees charged for certain products. The reduction in the installed base of the Company’s software is primarily due to an increase in customer deactivations and a decrease in recent software license fees, as previously discussed. Software is deactivated by customers who (a) need to reduce the number of licensed users or licensed loan capacity due to a change in business conditions, (b) are acquired by other mortgage lenders using competitive lending technology, (c) decide to switch to a competitive mortgage lending product or (d) are going out of business.

     Other revenues decreased by 11% for fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001, and remained relatively unchanged for fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000. This fiscal year 2002 decrease was primarily due to the absence of a large custom programming project performed during fiscal year 2001. Custom programming revenues for fiscal year 2001 were greater than in fiscal year 2000 but were offset by lower training revenue and document referral fees, associated with lower software license fees for fiscal year 2001.

     Looking forward, the Company is cautiously optimistic that the mortgage-lending volume will remain relatively strong for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that certain customers may have concerns about the Company’s development schedule for its next-generation loan production system, which may cause a downward pressure on revenue generation through a delay in software purchases until the new product is released. However, the Company is committed to driving revenue growth through sales of its loan servicing and enterprise application integration products. The Company expects these two offsetting factors to lead to a relatively flat or slightly increased software license fee revenue for fiscal year 2003, until the release of its next-generation loan production system. The Company believes higher support fees in fiscal year 2003 on the Company’s loan servicing product will help to offset the slight decline in the installed base of the Company’s software and as such, the Company believes that software support fees for fiscal year 2003 are likely to remain relatively consistent or increase slightly compared to those earned in fiscal year 2002. Other revenues are expected to remain consistent or increase slightly, due to training and implementation related to the new MortgageWare product, in fiscal year 2003.

     Cost of software license fees consists primarily of the amortization of capitalized software development costs and, to a lesser extent, commissions and royalties paid to third parties for certain interface products, the purchase and duplication of disks and product documentation. As a percentage of software license fees, cost of software license fees decreased to 39% for fiscal year 2002 compared to 64% for fiscal year 2001 and increased to 64% for fiscal year 2001 compared to 32% for fiscal year 2000. The decrease for fiscal year 2002 was primarily due to significantly lower amortization of capitalized software development costs, combined with slightly higher revenues for the fiscal year 2002. The increase for fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was primarily due to the substantial decrease in software license fee revenue described above combined with a substantial increase in the amortization of capitalized software development costs. The increases in amortization were due to the shortened estimated useful lives of certain products along with the fact that the Company began to amortize costs associated with certain purchased technology and new products released during fiscal year 2001.

     The dollar amount of the cost of software license fees decreased by 33% from $3.02 million in fiscal year 2001 to $2.02 million in fiscal year 2002. The decrease for fiscal year 2002 was primarily due to significantly lower amortization of capitalized software development costs. The amount of amortization decreased to $1.97 million for fiscal year 2002 compared to $2.94 million for fiscal year 2001. This reduction was due to the Company writing-off $1.47 million of certain capitalized software development costs during fiscal year 2001 and to several products becoming fully amortized within the year. The dollar amount of the cost of software license fees increased by 34% from $2.25 million in fiscal year 2000 to $3.02 million in fiscal year 2001. This increase was due primarily to higher amortization of capitalized software development costs for three products. The development costs for MortgageWare Entre™ increased in fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2002, increasing the resulting amortization of those costs. The amortization associated with the MortgageWare Loan Servicing product also increased due to higher development costs, but was partially offset by the write-off of a portion of previously capitalized software development costs in March 2001. Also, certain previously purchased technology was amortized beginning in July 2000 through March 2001 when the remainder of those capitalized costs were written-off. Amortization of capitalized software development costs was $1.97 million, $2.94 million and $2.06 million for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company expects the dollar amount of its amortization of capitalized software development costs to decrease for fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002 due primarily to certain products becoming fully amortized in the past year and in fiscal year 2003.

     Cost of software support fees includes salaries and other costs related to providing telephone support and the purchase, duplication and shipping of disks associated with software updates. As a percentage of software support fees, the cost of software support fees decreased to 19% for fiscal year 2002 compared to 23% in fiscal year 2001, and decreased to 23% for fiscal year 2001 compared to 27% for fiscal year 2000. The decrease in both fiscal years was due primarily to the cost of software support fees decreasing compounded in fiscal year 2002 with increasing support fee revenue. The dollar amount of the cost of software support fees decreased by $423,000, or 19%, in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of reduced headcount in the company’s customer support group combined with other savings in areas such as travel, telephone, freight and diskette expenses. The dollar amount of the cost of software support fees decreased by $380,000, or 15%, in fiscal year 2001 as compared to fiscal year 2000. This decrease was primarily the result of reduced headcount combined with other savings in areas such as travel and telephone expenses. Looking forward, the Company expects the dollar cost of software support fees to increase based on anticipated support for the new MortgageWare product to be released later in fiscal year 2003.

     Cost of other revenues consists primarily of the salaries and non-reimbursable expenses for the employees who provide training, custom programming, data conversions and consulting services. As a percentage of other revenues, cost of other revenues decreased to 45% for fiscal year 2002 compared to 57% for fiscal year 2001, and decreased to 57% for fiscal year 2001 compared to 64% for fiscal year 2000. In fiscal year 2002, the decrease was primarily due to the reduced headcount costs, related travel and telephone expenses based on the Company lay-offs in April 2001. The decrease in fiscal year 2001 was due primarily to overall cost reductions in training and consulting services, while the other revenues remained unchanged. Looking forward, the Company expects the cost of other revenues to increase based on implementation needs and training for the new MortgageWare product to be released later in fiscal year 2003.

     Product development expenses include salaries for software developers and analysts, facility costs and expenses associated with computer equipment used in software development, net of costs capitalized. As a percentage of net revenues, product development expenses increased to 35% for fiscal year 2002 compared to 27% for fiscal year 2001, and increased to 27% for fiscal year 2001 compared to 21% for fiscal year 2000. The increase in product development expenses as a percentage of net revenues for fiscal year 2002 consisted of a dollar increase of $1.4 million. The dollar increase for fiscal year 2002 consisted of increasing payroll costs for a larger development team, combined with a significant decrease in the amount of capitalized software development costs compared with fiscal year 2001. The larger development team was required due to increasing work on the new MortgageWareE3™ project and a major upgrade release for MortgageWare Entre™ in fiscal year 2002. Since development on MortgageWareE3™ project has not yet reached technological feasibility for software capitalization purposes, the capitalized software amount in fiscal year 2002 was much lower than fiscal year 2001. The increase in product development expenses as a percentage of net revenues for fiscal year 2001 compared to 2000 consisted of a dollar increase of $537,000 combined with the 12% decrease in net revenues discussed above. The dollar increase for fiscal year 2001 consisted of increasing payroll costs for a larger development team, combined with a decrease in the amount of capitalized software development costs compared with fiscal year 2000. Total product development spending was $6.57 million for fiscal year 2002 compared to $6.30 million in the prior year. The Company capitalized $728,000, $1.96 million and $2.0 million of product development expenditures for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During fiscal year 2002, the Company increased its product development spending and decreased its capitalization of software development costs due to the life cycle of products which make-up the majority of the Company’s development efforts. The Company is working mostly on its MortgageWareE3™ project which has not yet reached technological feasibility for capitalization. Looking forward, the Company believes that product development spending will increase during fiscal year 2003. In addition, the Company expects the majority of its product development costs to be related to products that will not meet capitalization requirements. As such, the Company expects product development expenses, net of amounts capitalized, to rise during fiscal year 2003.

     Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, sales commissions, travel and facility costs for the Company’s sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expenses also include advertising, direct marketing and trade show expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 17% in fiscal year 2002 compared to 25% for fiscal year 2001, and decreased to 25% for

fiscal year 2001 compared to 26% for fiscal year 2000. The decreases for both fiscal years 2002 and 2001 were due mainly to reduced payroll costs through attrition and the Company’s restructuring in April 2001. Also, sales travel and spending for advertising were reduced significantly due to a decision to use more cost-effective sales and marketing tactics. In fiscal year 2002, the full-year of reduced expenses combined with an increase in net revenues resulted in the significant reduction in the percentage of net revenues. For fiscal year 2001, the percentage reduction in sales and marketing expenses generally followed the percentage reduction in total net revenues, therefore, the percentage of expenses to net revenues remained relatively unchanged from the prior year. The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase in fiscal year 2003 based on the commissions and increased marketing efforts for the new MortgageWare product.

     General and administrative expenses include costs associated with finance, accounting, purchasing, order fulfillment, administration and facilities. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses were lower in fiscal year 2002, decreasing to 28% compared to 32% for fiscal year 2001. General and administrative expenses increased to 32% for fiscal year 2001 compared to 26% for fiscal year 2000. The decrease for fiscal year 2002 was due primarily to the absence of consulting and professional fees incurred during fiscal year 2001 relating to the evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Company and increased revenue for the year. The increase for fiscal year 2001 was attributable to higher payroll costs, professional fees associated with strategic projects and executive recruiting fees. These expenses were combined with a significant decrease in net revenues, resulting in a higher percentage of net revenue than in fiscal year 2000. The Company expects general and administrative expenses to remain relatively flat on a dollar basis and improve slightly on a percentage of net revenues basis for fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.

     Included in the category of Goodwill and Capitalized Software Write-off, the Company wrote-off $43,000 of capitalized software costs for a certain products in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, based on projected future revenues of that product. The Company incurred a $2.35 million non-cash charge for the write-off of goodwill and the write-down of some capitalized software development costs in March, 2001. This write-off consisted of the remaining goodwill and intangible assets associated with the Logical Software Solutions Corporation acquisition of $881,000, and the write-off of capitalized software development costs on certain of the Company’s products of $1.47 million. Since the write-off occurred in March 2001, amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $0, $644,000 and $859,000, respectively. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company determined that purchased software intended to be an integral part of the development of its new products no longer had value for that purpose, and that there was not a viable future alternative use. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off the remaining $509,000 balance of this asset. In addition, the Company determined that the net realizable value of certain of its products was less than the capitalized software assets associated with these products. Hence, the Company reduced the capitalized software assets for these products and recorded non-cash charges totaling $963,000. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its intangible assets and capitalized software development costs on a periodic basis and makes adjustments to these assets as necessary.

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $504,000 associated with staff reduction and the resignation of its president and CEO. This charge consisted primarily of severance, continued health care benefits and outplacement services for affected employees.

     Net interest consists of interest earned on the Company’s cash and investment balances. Interest and other income decreased significantly in fiscal year 2002 due to lower interest rates, which resulted in a lower return on the Company’s investments.

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company had no interest-bearing debt outstanding, and anticipates no new debt financing in the foreseeable future.

     The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes currently payable, and deferred taxes arising from temporary differences in determining income (loss) for financial statement and tax purposes. The Company did not record any income tax benefit during fiscal year 2002 due to the evaluation of the likelihood of recoverability of these additional deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate was lower for fiscal year 2001, compared to fiscal year 2000, as a result of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers recent and past financial performance, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Looking forward, the Company does not expect to record a tax benefit until it believes it can recover the related deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working capital, which consists principally of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, was $5.85 million as of June 30, 2002, compared to $4.73 million as of June 30, 2001. Cash provided by operating activities was $3.23 million in fiscal year 2002 and $1.19 million in fiscal year 2001. Principal uses of cash included the net purchases of investments of $3.23 million, the purchase of $297,000 of furniture and equipment and $728,000 of capitalized software costs.

     Long-term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are anticipated for development of new software products and enhancement of existing products, financing anticipated growth, the possible acquisition of other software products, technologies and businesses and the possible repurchase of the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to satisfy its currently anticipated cash requirements for fiscal year 2003.

     The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National Market. To maintain this listing, the Company must continue to satisfy ongoing listing requirements, including consistently maintaining a minimum of $10 million of shareholders’ equity beginning November 1, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $7.9 million. The Company is unlikely to meet the Nasdaq National Market minimum shareholders’ equity requirement unless it conducts an equity financing of sufficient size. The Company may be unable to complete such an equity financing, and even if such a financing is successfully completed, it will result in significant dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company fails to satisfy the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement, the Nasdaq National Market’s alternative listing standard would require the Company to have a market capitalization of $50 million (or total assets and total revenue of $50 million each), a public float of 1.1 million shares having a market value of $15 million and a minimum bid price of $3 per share. The Company currently does not meet these alternative requirements, and it is unlikely that it will do so by November 1, 2002. If the Company does not meet the Nasdaq National Market continuing listing requirements, Nasdaq could initiate delisting procedures at any time after November 1, 2002. As part of this procedure, the Company believes it will have an opportunity to present a plan for achieving compliance with the Nasdaq National Market continuing listing requirements. If necessary, the Company will present such a plan. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the Company would be granted an extension of time to comply. If, however, Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan or if the Company fails to meet the listing requirements within any extension period granted in response to the plan, the Company would lose its Nasdaq National Market listing. In that event, the Company would likely seek listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, both of which are viewed by many investors as a less liquid marketplace. Loss of the Company’s Nasdaq National Market listing could make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital or complete acquisitions and also complicate compliance with state “blue sky” laws. In addition, the market price of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected by the loss of its Nasdaq National Market listing.

Company Acquisition

     On August 6, 2002, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Harland Financial Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of John H. Harland Co. John H. Harland Company is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol (NYSE: JH). If the merger is completed, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. and the Company’s shareholders will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of the Company’s common stock owned. Holders of the Company’s stock options will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, less the exercise price of the options, for each share of the Company’s common stock represented by the options. Before the Company can complete the merger, however, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of September 6, 2002 must vote to approve and adopt the merger. Accordingly, the Company has called a special meeting of shareholders for October 14, 2002 to consider the merger. The Company has also filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed it to the Company’s shareholders.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two new statements: Statement No. 141, Business Combinations and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement No. 141 will require business combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Specifically identifiable intangible assets acquired, other than goodwill, will be amortized over their estimated useful economic life. Statement No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination will not be amortized, but should be tested for impairment at least annually. Statement No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entity’s statement of financial position at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The adoption of Statement No. 141 and 142 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the asset. Statement No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 143 on July 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While Statement No. 144 supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that Statement. Statement No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Board Principles Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. The adoption of Statement No. 144 on July 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Among other provisions, Statement No. 145 rescinds Statement 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt. Accordingly, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt shall not be reported as extraordinary items unless the extinguishment qualifies as an extraordinary item under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. Gains or losses from extinguishment of debt that do not meet the criteria of APB No. 30 should be reclassified to income from continuing operations in all prior periods presented. Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of Statement No. 145 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. Statement No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. Statement No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the commitment to an exit plan. Statement No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, Statement No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. Its financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts and contracts receivable and accounts payable. The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its short-term investments and short-term obligations, thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000

(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Description of Business

     INTERLINQ Software Corporation, or the Company, provides technology that helps organizations effectively manage complex, information-intensive business transactions. The Company provides business solutions to banks, savings institutions, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions and other financial services providers. The Company’s product line encompasses all major components of the mortgage loan production process, secondary marketing activities, mortgage loan servicing and construction loan servicing. The Company also provides application integration/workflow solutions that integrate disparate systems and applications to route information and processes seamlessly across an entire enterprise. These solutions coordinate activities across legacy systems, enterprise applications, databases and Internet technologies.

     The Company sells its products primarily through a direct sales force.

     (b)  Cash Equivalents

     All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less, 3,500,000 and 5,000,000, respectively, were considered to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, consisted primarily of commercial paper.

     (c)  Investments

     Investments at June 30, 2002 and 2001 consist of investment-grade, interest-bearing corporate debt securities and money market auction preferred securities.

     The Company classifies investment securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity depending upon its intentions at the time the securities are acquired. Investments available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with any unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. Investments held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost.

     At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of all securities approximated amortized cost and there were no material unrealized holding gains or losses.

     Investments held-to-maturity consist of investment-grade corporate debt securities and have contractual maturities of less than one year. Investments available-for-sale at June 30, 2002 consist of money market auction preferred securities. These money market auction preferred securities are perpetual preferred stocks with floating rate dividends that are reset every 49 days. These investments are designed to minimize principal risk and trade at par without principal volatility.

     (d)  Inventory

     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (replacement cost).

-34-


Table of Contents

     (e)  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is on the straight-line method over the two- to seven-year estimated useful life of the assets or the respective lease term if shorter.

     Management periodically evaluates property and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

     (f)  Product Development and Capitalized Software Costs

     Software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development are charged to product development expense in the period the costs are incurred until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, all software product development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Software costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of technologically feasible products developed externally are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.

     Amortization of capitalized software costs begins when the related software is available for general release to customers and is provided for each software product based on the greater of (i) the ratio of current gross revenues to total current and anticipated future gross revenues for the related software or (ii) the straight-line method over two to five years, based on the remaining economic life of the software.

     The estimates of anticipated future gross revenues and remaining economic life of the Company’s products are subject to risks inherent in the software industry, such as changes in technology and customer perceptions. Management regularly reviews these estimates and makes adjustments as appropriate.

     In June 2002, the Company determined that the net realizable value of certain of its products was less than the capitalized software assets associated with these products and wrote-off these costs in the amount of $43,000.

     During the third quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company determined that purchased software intended to be an integral part of the development of its new products no longer had value for that purpose, and that there was not a viable future alternative use. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off the remaining balance of this asset $509,000. In addition, the Company determined that the net realizable value of certain of its products was less than the capitalized software assets associated with these products. The Company wrote-down the assets during the third quarter and recorded a non-cash charge of $963,000.

     (g)  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     During fiscal year 2001, the Company evaluated the net realizable value of the goodwill and other intangible assets acquired from its June 30, 1998 acquisition of Logical Software Solutions and determined that the carrying value of the assets could not be recovered through undiscounted future net operating cashflows. The Company wrote-off the unamortized balance and recorded a non-cash charge of $881,000. Goodwill and other intangible assets were amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to four years.

Table of Contents

     (h)  Revenue Recognition

     Net revenues consist of software license fees, software support fees and other revenues.

     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), which provides specific industry guidance and stipulates that revenue recognized from software arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post-contract customer support, consulting and implementation services, or training. Under SOP 97-2, the determination of fair value is based on objective evidence that is specific to the vendor. If such evidence of fair value for each element of the arrangement does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such time that evidence of fair value does exist or until all elements of the arrangement are delivered. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable and the arrangement does not require significant customization of the software.

     Software support fees are recognized over the life of the related service contracts. Deferred software support fees represent fees charged to customers but not yet recognized as revenue.

     Other revenues include training fees, consultation services and custom document fees. These revenues are recognized when the related service is completed or when the goods are shipped, as applicable.

     Revenue from software license agreements with original equipment manufacturers (OEM), whereby the Company provides ongoing support over the term of the contract, is generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

     (i)  Cost of Revenues

     Cost of software license fees includes costs related to sales of licenses such as disks and supplies, amortization of capitalized software costs and other direct costs. Cost of software support fees includes salaries and other costs related to providing telephone support and the costs of disks and supplies related to product enhancements provided under support contracts. Cost of other revenues includes direct costs related to training, consultation services, custom document fees and other revenue.

     (j)  Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for its employee stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense related to employee stock options granted under fixed plans is recorded only if, on the date of grant, the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company provides pro forma net income disclosures for employee stock options grants as if the fair-value based method of accounting provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) had been applied to these transactions.

-36-


Table of Contents

     (k)  Income Taxes

     The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Management evaluates the need to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based upon the amount of existing temporary differences, the period in which they are expected to be recovered and expected levels of taxable income.

     (l)  Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

     Options to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the diluted loss per share computation for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 as the inclusion of these options would be anti-dilutive. The shares of stock excluded from the computations are as follows:

                         
    2002   2001   2000
   
 
 
Shares excluded
    928,000       1,250,000       1,098,000  
Exercise price
  $ 1.48-$7.38     $ 0.15-$8.38     $ 0.10-$8.38  

     (m)  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

     (n)  Concentration of Market Risk

     The Company markets a substantial portion of its products to businesses involved in the residential loan production process. Changes in mortgage lending rates and other economic factors could affect the economic stability of these businesses and their ability, as a group, to purchase the Company’s products. As a result, the Company’s success in marketing its products may fluctuate in accordance with these economic factors.

     (o)  Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Table of Contents

     (p)  Comprehensive Income

     Comprehensive income measures all changes in equity of an enterprise that do not result from transactions with owners. The Company has no other components of comprehensive income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

     (q)  New Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” was issued. SFAS 133 established standards for the accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires that derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 133 on July 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two new statements: SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 required business combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Specifically identifiable intangible assets acquired, other than goodwill, will be amortized over their estimated useful economic life. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill will not be amortized, but should be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 was adopted on July 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Since the Company has incurred net losses for three consecutive years, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $1,687,562 on its net deferred tax assets.

     At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had income tax receivables of $0 and $491,652, respectively.

(5) Shareholders’ Equity

     (a)  Preferred Stock

     Preferred stock authorized consists of 5,000,000 shares, none of which is issued or outstanding.

     (b)  Stock Option Plans

     The Company has three stock option plans: the 1985 Restated Stock Option Plan (“1985 Plan”), the 1993 Stock Option Plan (“1993 Plan”) and the 1993 Stock Option Plan for Nonemployee Directors (“Directors Plan”). The Company accounts for its option plans in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 and no compensation cost has been recognized related to its stock options. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

                           
      2002   2001   2000

     The 1985 and 1993 Plans provide for both incentive and non-qualified stock options to be granted to attract and retain the services of employees. The incentive stock options vest over a four-year period and may be exercised during continued employment or within one month of terminating employment for the 1985 Plan and within three months for the 1993 Plan. All options expire ten years from the date of grant. The 1985 Plan has been suspended in regard to future grants, and stock options are currently granted pursuant to the 1993 Plan. The Company has authorized 1,400,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for grants pursuant to the 1993 Plan.

     The Directors Plan provides for stock options that may be granted to attract and retain services of the members of the Board of Directors who are not otherwise employees of the Company. The stock options vest six months from the date of grant and may be exercised during the director’s term or within three months of the date the option holder ceases to be a director. All options expire five years from the date of grant. The Company has authorized 215,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for grants pursuant to the Directors Plan.

(6) Financial Instruments

     The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The financial instruments have a short term until maturity or settlement in cash and, therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value. Credit is extended to customers with the Company generally requiring a down payment of 50% of the total purchase price for new customers. No additional collateral is required. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers on an as needed basis and maintains an allowance for possible credit losses.

(7) Segment Information

     The operating segments reported below are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit and loss amounts are evaluated and used by the chief operating decision-maker for making operating decisions, assessing performance and deciding on how to effectively allocate resources. The Company has three principal businesses and, therefore, three reportable business segments: Loan Production, Loan Servicing and Enterprise Application Integration. Prior to July 1, 2001, the Company had two reportable business segments: Mortgage Technology Division and Enterprise Technology Division. The information for 2001 has been restated into the new business segments.

     The Company’s Loan Production division provides business solutions to banks, savings institutions, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers and credit unions. This division’s product line addresses all major components of the mortgage loan production process and secondary marketing activities.

     The Company’s Loan Servicing division provides mortgage-loan and construction-loan servicing solutions to banks, savings institutions, mortgage banks, credit unions and specialty servicers, which include subprime loan servicers, manufactured-home loan servicers, as well as state and city housing authorities.

     The Company’s Enterprise Application Integration division provides technology for Business Process Management directly to customers, including financial services institutions, and through third parties. Based on the award-winning FlowMan® technology acquired in June 1998, the software enables organizations to integrate disparate software systems and applications and improve overall business processes and practices across an entire enterprise.

(8) Technology License

     On May 12, 1999, the Company entered into a license agreement with CBF Systems, Inc., to license printing technology for integration with certain of the Company’s products. The Company paid an initial license fee of $812,500 in June 1999, and was obligated to pay a periodic royalty to CBF Systems, Inc. of up to 2% of software license fee revenue for products sold with the integrated technology. The integration of this technology was never completed and the Company wrote-off the remaining balance of this asset in March 2001, which is included as part of the goodwill and capitalized software write-off.

(10) Legal Proceedings

     In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims including, contract-related claims and claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. These claims, even if not meritorious, could force the Company to spend significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is currently not aware of any claims that it believes will have, individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

(11) Company Restructuring

     In April 2001, the Company restructured its operations and reduced its workforce in all departments by 19% representing 35 positions. At the same time, the Company’s president and CEO resigned his position with the Company. The Company incurred a charge of $504,000 as a result of the restructuring, representing primarily severance, medical and outplacement benefits for the affected employees. The accrued balance payable at June 30, 2001, was $159,000, which was paid in fiscal year 2002.

(12) Company Acquisition

     On August 6, 2002, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Harland Financial Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of John H. Harland Company. John H. Harland Company is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “JH.” If the merger is completed, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. and the Company’s shareholders will be entitled to receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, in exchange for each share of the Company’s common stock owned. Holders of the Company’s stock options will receive $6.25 in cash, without interest, less the exercise price of the options, for each share of common stock represented by the options. Before the Company can complete the merger, however, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of September 6, 2002 must vote to approve and adopt the merger. Accordingly, the Company has called a special meeting of shareholders for October 14, 2002 to consider the merger and has filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed the same to the Company’s shareholders.

(13) NASDAQ Listing

     The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National Market. To maintain this listing, the Company must continue to satisfy ongoing listing requirements, including consistently maintaining a minimum of $10 million of shareholders’ equity beginning November 1, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $7.9 million. The Company is unlikely to meet the Nasdaq National Market minimum shareholders’ equity requirement unless it conducts an equity financing of sufficient size. The Company may be unable to complete such an equity financing, and even if such a financing is successfully completed, it will result in significant dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company fails to satisfy the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement, the Nasdaq National Market’s alternative listing standard would require the Company to have a market capitalization of $50 million (or total assets and total revenue of $50 million each), a public float of 1.1 million shares having a market value of $15 million and a minimum bid price of $3 per share. The Company currently does not meet these alternative requirements, and it is unlikely that it will do so by November 1, 2002. If the Company does not meet the Nasdaq National Market continuing listing requirements, Nasdaq could initiate delisting procedures at any time after November 1, 2002. As part of this procedure, the Company believes it will have an opportunity to present a plan for achieving compliance with the Nasdaq National Market continuing listing requirements. If necessary, the Company will present such a plan. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the Company would be granted an extension of time to comply. If, however, Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan or if the Company fails to meet the listing requirements within any extension period granted in response to the plan, the Company would lose its Nasdaq National Market listing. In that event, the Company would likely seek listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, both of which are viewed by many investors as a less liquid marketplace. Loss of the Company’s Nasdaq National Market listing could make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital or complete acquisitions and also complicate compliance with state “blue sky” laws. In addition, the market price of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected by the loss of its Nasdaq National Market listing.

(1)   The option exercise price, as determined by the Board, is equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
(2)   The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at the 5% and 10% rates required by applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of the common stock price. The calculations assume that all of the options are exercised at the end of their respective ten-year terms. Actual gains, if any, on the stock option exercises depend on the future performance of common stock and overall market conditions, as well as the holder’s continued employment through the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not be achieved.
(3)   The options granted consist of a combination of non-qualified and incentive stock options that vest in yearly increments over a four-year period, becoming fully vested on April 11, 2006. Options not already exercisable generally become fully vested and exercisable upon mergers or reorganizations pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Option Plan. Each option has a term of ten years.
(4)   The options granted consist of incentive stock options that vest annually over a four-year period, becoming fully vested on October 12, 2005. Options not already exercisable generally become fully vested and exercisable upon mergers or reorganizations pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Option Plan. Each option has a term of ten years.

Aggregated Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

     The following table sets forth certain information concerning the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s common stock granted in fiscal 2001 and prior years under the 1993 Option Plan and the 1985 Option Plan to the Company’s named executive officers and stock options held by them as of June 30, 2002.

(1)   This amount represents the aggregate number of in-the-money options multiplied by the difference between the closing price of the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on June 28, 2002 ($1.45) and the exercise prices of the relevant options. All outstanding options had exercise prices greater than the closing price on June 28, 2002, therefore there were no in-the-money options at that time.
(2)   Mr. Pickerill departed the Company in March 2002, therefore his options were cancelled prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Director’s Fees

     The Company pays each director $1,000 in cash compensation for each attendance at each Board meeting, and reimburses directors for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred for attendance at Board meetings.

     The Company’s Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the Directors Plan, provides for the automatic grant of nonqualified stock options at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Each non-employee director elected or appointed receives an initial grant of an option to purchase 10,000 shares upon becoming a director. Each continuing director receives an annual grant of an option to purchase 7,500 shares immediately following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Options granted under the Directors Plan vest in full six months after the date of grant. Options granted under the Directors Plan expire five years after the date of grant or, if earlier, three months after the optionee’s termination of service with the Company or one year after the optionee’s death or disability.

Employment Contracts, Termination or Employment and Change in Control Arrangements

     The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jackman as of May 30, 2001. The agreement specifies that, in the event Mr. Jackman is terminated in certain circumstances, he would be paid one year’s salary as severance following termination.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

     The Compensation Committee of the Board for fiscal year 2001 consisted of four members of the Board, three of whom are non-employee directors of the Company. Mr. Gallagher is the fourth member of the Compensation Committee and was employed by the Company during the fiscal year for services rendered between January 2001 and the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Gallagher abstained from any committee matters pertaining to his compensation. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving base salaries for all executive officers, the level of participation in the executive bonus program, the company-wide profit sharing plan and any changes to these plans. The Compensation Committee also administers the 1993 Option Plan and 1985 Option Plan. Decisions made by the Compensation Committee relating to compensation of executive officers are reviewed by the full Board.

Executive Compensation Policies and Performance Measures

     The Company’s executive compensation policies have been developed to meet the following objectives:

          Attract and retain key executives critical to the Company’s long-term success;
 
          Reward key executives for their contributions to the executive team in the development and successful execution of product, marketing, sales and business strategies; and
 
          Motivate key executives to make decisions and take actions that increase the value of the common stock over the long term.

     The Committee uses a combination of cash- and equity-based programs to compensate key executives.

Cash-Based Compensation

     Base salaries for all executive officers are reviewed periodically. In evaluating executive salaries, the Compensation Committee uses certain independent information sources as available, as well as the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, salaries are based upon a review of the officer’s contribution to the team in accomplishing certain short- and long-term objectives as determined from time to time by the compensation committee.

     The executive officers are also eligible to receive incentive compensation based on achievement of certain performance criteria established periodically during the year. Mark Johnston was paid a cash bonus of $12,500 during fiscal year 2002 for the achievement of revenue targets in the second quarter and Michael Castle was paid a cash bonus of $11,625 as recommended by the CEO for Mr. Castle’s performance and contributions in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Equity-Based Compensation

     The Company provides its executive officers with long-term incentives through its 1993 Option Plan. The primary objective of this plan is to provide an incentive for the executives to make decisions and take actions which maximize long-term shareholder value. The plan design promotes this long-term focus using vesting periods. Options currently vest in either four or five equal annual installments beginning one year from date of grant. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all grants made under the plan. The Compensation Committee generally grants executive officers options upon hire and additional grants are reviewed annually. The number of new grants each year for both the executive officers and the rest of the Company’s employees is based primarily on position in the Company, past performance, anticipated future contributions and prior option grants. For fiscal year 2002, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock to Michael D. Castle and 25,000 shares to Mark D. Johnston.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

     The compensation for the Chief Executive Officer is reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and is based upon the criteria set forth under the discussion of executive compensation above. In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Jackman was paid a guaranteed bonus of $75,000 for fiscal year 2002.
