SENTO CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000
(Unaudited)

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating
results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2000.

B. COMMON STOCK



During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, options to purchase 244,482 shares of common stock were exercised and 40,985 shares of common stock were
purchased under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

There
were 37,495 shares of common stock purchased at a total cost of $111,893 pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in September 2000. The
repurchase program authorizes the repurchase of up to $1,000,000 of the Company's common stock. The repurchase is conditioned upon the Company's having cash balances of at least $3,500,000 and
$3,000,000 of unused bank line of credit immediately prior to the purchase of stock.



During the nine months ended December 31, 1999, the following transactions occurred which affected common stock:

All
outstanding convertible bonds ($500,000 principal) including accrued interest were converted into 401,264 shares of common stock. Subsequently, in January 2000, the Company
sold Convertible Subordinated Debentures.

A
private placement of common stock was completed in June of 1999, whereby 600,000 units, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of
common stock, were sold. The units were sold at a price of $3.20 per unit for total proceeds of $1,880,522 (net of $39,478 in offering costs). The warrants are exercisable for a three-year
period at $2.50 per share.

Options
to purchase 51,928 shares of common stock were exercised.

On
August 11, 1999, the Company issued 169,097 shares of common stock pursuant to a settlement and release agreement (the "Agreement") with Educational Systems, Inc ("ESI").
The Agreement called for the issuance of common stock in full satisfaction of unpaid costs that had been accrued by the Company under an acquisition agreement executed by Sento, Sento Training
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and ESI in August of 1998.

Warrants to purchase 85,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share were exercised.

C. INCOME/LOSS PER SHARE

Income/loss per share is computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Standard 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic income/loss per share is
computed as net income or loss divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur
from shares of common stock issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities. The effect of employee stock options to purchase 1,750,822 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 858,751 shares of common stock have been included in the calculation of diluted common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2000. Shares issuable pursuant
to convertible debentures (257,400 shares) have not been included in the calculation of diluted common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2000 because to do so
would be anti-dilutive due to interest expense added back to net income.

The
effect of employee stock options to purchase 1,917,243 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 682,500 shares of common stock have been included in the calculation of
diluted common stock outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2000 but not for computing diluted common stock outstanding for the nine months then ended as to do so would be
anti-dilutive.

contingent earn-out payments of up to $350,000 to be received over 36 months. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had received $44,594 in earn-out payments under
this arrangement. The Company recognized a gain on the sale before income taxes of approximately $5,000 that has been included in the loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended

VAR business has been accounted for as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the results of operations are segregated from continuing operations in the accompanying 1999
statements of
operations. Revenue, operating costs and expenses, other income and expenses, and income taxes of this business have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999. No allocation of general corporate overhead has been made to discontinued operations relating to this business.

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

General

Sento provides IT outsourcing services, including technical support services, help-desk functions, and technical training and education. Through
its state-of-the-art eCustomer Contact Centers, Sento provides domestic and international technical support services to leading computer hardware and software
companies. Sento also provides instructor-led technical training, including distance learning through computer-based training ("CBT") methods.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 1999

Revenues.Revenues from continuing operations increased 50% or $2,752,000 from $5,528,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 to $8,280,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. These revenues were generated from the Company's operations in the following two business segments:

Technical
services revenues increased 82%, or $3,497,000, from $4,264,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $7,761,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2000. The significant increase in eCustomer Contact Center revenues was principally the result of increased revenues from existing customers and the acquisition of three new
customers. There were approximately 470 agents in one facility in American Fork, Utah as of December 31, 1999; and there were a total of approximately 890 agents in three facilities as of
December 31, 2000. Revenues by quarter for this segment for the ten quarters ended December 31, 2000 were as follows:

Training
revenues decreased 53% or $593,000, from $1,112,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $519,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The
two main reasons for the revenue decline were students delaying their registration for classes in the new Windows 2000 MCSE certification classes and a decision by Intuit to no longer sell its
customer lists to the general public, which adversely impacted marketing of QuickBooks classes. Sento is negotiating a new contract for QuickBooks customer lists, but the classes are not expected to
have significant enrollment until late in the fourth fiscal quarter. Sento is now registering students for Windows 2000 MCSE classes. Sento expects training revenues to increase in the fourth fiscal
quarter to a point that this division may break even. However, management expects this division's revenues to continue to decline as a percentage of
Sento's total revenues, due to the expected growth in eCustomer Contact Centers revenues while training revenues are expected to increase at a slower rate.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales from continuing operations increased 73%, or $3,110,000, from $4,241,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999 to $7,351,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. This increase was due in part to additional expenses necessary to generate increased revenue.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased by 12 percentage points, from 23% of revenues during the three months ended December 31, 1999 to 11% of revenues for the three months
ended December 31, 2000. The rapid revenue growth in the eCustomer Contact Centers requires immediate and significant hiring and upfront training costs for new agents to handle the increased
call volume. As a result, gross margins are adversely impacted because the new agents must be trained before they become productive in handling customer calls and begin to generate revenue. Management
does not expect training costs to be significant in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001as the staffing level is currently deemed sufficient to handle expected fourth fiscal quarter call volume, and the
majority of the agents have now been trained. This decreased training expense coupled with increased agent efficiencies and an anticipated increase in revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 is
expected to improve gross margins for the quarter ending March 31, 2001.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 28%, or $315,000,
from $1,115,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $800,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease was due primarily to the cessation of operations of
Sento Australia and the continuing efforts of management to control and reduce selling, general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended December 31, 2000, the Company
recorded a $75,000 reduction of selling, general and administrative expense related to warrants issued to non-employee consultants, which were subject to periodic re-pricing
under EITF96-18.

Research and Development Expense.The Company expensed $88,000 in research and development costs during the three
months ended December 31, 1999. The majority of these costs related to the development of technology that was later sold to EchoPass Corporation ("EchoPass") in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2000. No significant research and development costs were incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2000, and the Company does not expect to incur significant research and development
costs in the future.

Other Income (Expense).During the three months ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded other expense
(net) of ($48,000), as compared to other income (net) of $39,000 during the three months ended December 31, 1999. The decrease of $87,000 was primarily due to the realization of income during
the three months ended December 31, 1999 from the sale of assets.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999

Revenues.Revenues from continuing operations increased 67%, or $8,354,000, from $12,400,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 to $20,754,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. These revenues were generated from the Company's operations in the following two business segments:

Technical
services revenues increased 107%, or $9,299,000, from $8,712,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 to $18,011,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2000. The significant increase in eCustomer Contact Center revenues was principally the result of increased revenues from existing customers and the acquisition of six new
customers.

Training
revenues decreased 9%, or $272,000, from $3,015,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 to $2,743,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The
two main reasons for the revenue decline were students delaying their registration for classes in the new Windows 2000 MCSE certification classes and a decision by Intuit to no longer sell its
customer lists to the general public, which adversely impacted marketing of QuickBooks classes. Sento is negotiating a new contract

10

---

for QuickBooks customer lists, but the classes are not expected to have significant enrollment until late in the fourth fiscal quarter. Sento is now registering students for Windows 2000 MCSE classes.
Sento expects training revenues to increase in the fourth fiscal quarter to a point that this division may break even. However, management expects this division's revenues to continue to decline as a
percent of Sento's total revenues, due to the expected growth in eCustomer Contact Centers revenues while training revenues are expected to increase at a slower rate.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales from continuing operations increased 88%, or $8,091,000, from $9,232,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 to $17,323,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to additional expenses associated with the generation of
increased revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased by 9 percentage points, from 26% of revenues during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 to 17% of revenues for
the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The rapid revenue growth in the eCustomer Contact Centers requires immediate and significant hiring and upfront training costs for new agents to handle
the increased call volume. As a result, gross margins are adversely impacted because the new agents must be trained before they become productive in handling customer calls and begin to generate
revenue. Management does not expect training costs to be significant in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001as the
staffing level is currently deemed sufficient to handle expected fourth fiscal quarter call volume, and the majority of the agents have now been trained. This decreased training expense coupled with
increased agent efficiencies and an anticipated increase in revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 is expected to improve gross margins for the quarter ending March 31, 2001.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 24%, or $810,000,
from $3,415,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 to $2,605,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease was due primarily to the cessation of operations of
Sento Australia and the continuing efforts of management to control and reduce selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development Expense.The Company expensed $194,000 in research and development costs during the nine
months ended December 31, 1999. The majority of these costs related to the development of technology that was later sold to EchoPass fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. No material research and
development costs were incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2000, and the Company does not expect to incur significant research and development costs in the future.

Equity Loss on Investment in EchoPass Corporation.The Company accounts for its investment in EchoPass under the equity
method of accounting. During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, the Company recognized its portion of EchoPass' losses up to its total investment in EchoPass and will not recognize any
further losses on this investment. Should EchoPass become profitable in the future, the Company will recognize its portion of the profits after its portion of unrecognized losses have been offset by
profits.

Other Income (Expense).During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded other expense (net)
of ($92,000), as compared to other income (net) of $104,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The decrease of $196,000 was primarily due to the realization of income during the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 from the sale of assets. Management does not expect other income to be significant in future periods.

Discontinued Operations.The Company sold all of its VAR business and related assets as of June 30, 1999. The
loss from continuing operations reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 excludes the VAR business' revenues and expenses.
Loss from these discontinued operations was $51,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash balances increased 39%, or $935,000, from $2,382,000 at March 31, 2000 to $3,317,000 at December 31, 2000. Working capital increased to
$4,247,000 at December 31, 2000 from $3,661,000 at March 31, 2000. These increases in cash and working capital originated principally from positive cash flow from operations of
$1,580,000 and borrowings under long-term equipment loans. In addition, the Company has unused lines of credit in the amount of approximately $4.6 million.

On
September 13, 2000, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $1,000,000 of the Company's common stock. The repurchase program is conditioned upon the
Company's having cash balances of at least $3,500,000 plus an unused bank line of credit of $3,000,000 immediately prior to any buyback of shares. As of December 31, 2000 the Company had
repurchased 37,495 shares of common stock at a total cost of $112,000 under this buyback program.

Historically
the Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash received from sales of assets and cash provided through private sales of equity and debt, as well as borrowings
under a bank line of credit, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 liquidity and cash were provided by positive cash flow from operations. In addition, the Company has financed some
of the equipment utilized in its business through long-term leasing arrangements. The historic growth rate of the technical services division has consumed substantial amounts of cash, and
the Company will be required to pursue additional funding opportunities to fund future growth should such growth accelerate in excess of historical and planned future growth. In the event the Company
is not able to find such alternate sources of funding, its ability to pursue its planned business strategy may be limited. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary
capital funding on terms favorable to the Company.

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that are not purely historical are "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking statements involve various risks
and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements contained in this Report include statements regarding the Company's plans to develop and deliver integrated information technology services, market
opportunities and acceptance, expectations, goals, revenues, financial performance, strategies, mission and intentions for the future. Such forward-looking statements are included under. "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and encompass Sento's beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding future events. Words such as "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," and "likely" also identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Report are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to the
Company as of such date, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. It is important to note that such statements may not prove to be accurate and that the Company's
actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Among the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are those described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsRisks Related
to Existing and Proposed Sento Operations." All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this section and other factors included elsewhere in this Report.

Risks Related to Existing and Proposed Sento Operations

In addition to other information in this Report, the following are important factors that should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its
business.

Dependence on Key Customers.Three customers accounted for 67% of the revenues of the Company for the year ended
March 31, 2000, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 two customers accounted for 55% of the revenues of the Company. Consistent with industry standards,

12

---

Sento's contracts are generally cancelable by the customer on short-term notice. Sento's loss of a significant amount of business with any of its key customers could have, and the loss of
a substantial amount of business with any of its principal existing technical support customers would have, a material adverse effect on Sento's business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, Sento's future revenue growth is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain new customers.

Reliance on EchoPass for Outsourced Services.Since completion of the EchoPass transactions in March 2000, Sento
no longer possesses the technology and no longer employs a number of former technical support employees who were formerly engaged in developing the technology and maintaining Sento's eCustomer Contact
Centers. Many of these technical support functions are now provided by EchoPass employees on an outsourced basis pursuant to a services agreement. As a result, Sento is dependent on EchoPass for many
of the technical support functions related to Sento's eCustomer Contact Centers. The outsourcing relationship could result in decreased attention to Sento's needs, slower response times and the lack
of redundant support functions. If EchoPass fails in its business efforts, Sento would be required to re-develop the technical services necessary to support its operations or identify and
retain an alternate third party provider of such services. In addition, if EchoPass does not provide to Sento high-quality technical support services at competitive prices, Sento may elect
or be forced to obtain replacement services from alternate sources. There can be no assurance that Sento would be able to obtain such services at a reasonable cost, if at all, or without a material
interruption of its business.

Conflicts Between Sento and EchoPass.EchoPass owns the technology utilized in Sento's eCustomer Contact Centers.
Although a services agreement between Sento and EchoPass grants to Sento the right to utilize substantially all of such technology in the operation of its existing and future eCustomer Contact
Centers, EchoPass will likely have the opportunity to license such technology to third parties, including existing and potential competitors of Sento.

Changing Needs of the e-business Customer Service Market.The e-business customer service
industry is characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements and preferences and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render Sento's existing
and proposed products, services, proprietary technology and systems obsolete. To remain competitive, Sento must continually improve the performance, features and reliability of its products and
services, including its existing e-business customer service applications, and develop new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of its
prospective customers. If Sento cannot adapt or respond in a cost-effective and timely manner to changing industry standards, market conditions or customer requirements, its business and
operating results would suffer and could negatively impact Sento's business and/or financial condition.

Dilution of Sento's Ownership in EchoPass.EchoPass' success in developing and licensing its technology will depend to
a significant extent on EchoPass' ability to obtain financing required to develop, market and sell its technology. As a result, EchoPass will have an incentive to issue additional capital stock to
sources of such financing. The issuance of such additional capital stock would have the effect of diluting Sento's ownership of the EchoPass capital stock and reducing Sento's ability to influence the
management and policies of EchoPass.

The
dilution of Sento's economic interests could result in Sento receiving less financial benefit from EchoPass' use of its technology than Sento could have obtained through
commercializing the technology itself. Sento's lack of voting control over EchoPass could result in EchoPass' taking actions in conflict with or adverse to the interests of Sento. In addition, Sento
will not have the unrestricted right to develop new applications for the EchoPass technology without obtaining the consent of EchoPass. Without a controlling interest in EchoPass, Sento will not be
assured of obtaining EchoPass' consent for such additional applications.

Competition.The market for providing IT services is highly fragmented and very competitive. The IT services industry
is comparatively young with many small regional service companies supplying some training and technical support, or systems integration services coupled with hardware and software sales. There are
many small IT training companies specializing in various vertical market niches.

The
IT services industry, however, has begun to experience a degree of consolidation and the entry of major IT companies, which has resulted in an additional level of competition from
service providers that have greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than Sento. Over the past several years, a
number of existing companies have enjoyed increasing success and rapid internal growth. Several of these companies have been active in acquiring the smaller regional training companies and are
becoming major competitors with a measurable share of this rapidly expanding market. In addition, major sole-source IT services companies such as Accenture, formerly Andersen Consulting,
Computer Sciences Corp. ("CSC"), Electronic Data Systems ("EDS"), and IBM are providing full "turnkey" solutions to their large customers.

Also,
many major computer hardware and software companies provide their own technical support and customer training. Therefore, such companies are not within the potential customer
base for IT service providers and have the capability of providing services that compete with those provided by Sento.

Sento
cannot provide any assurance that better and more efficient services will not be provided by new or existing IT service providers in competition with Sento. The services
provided by such competitors may be more effective or less expensive than those provided by Sento. There can be no assurance that Sento will improve, refine or enhance the services it provides.

Competition in the e-business Customer Service Market.The e-business customer service market
is new and intensely competitive. There are no substantial barriers to entry, and established or new entities may enter this market in the near future. Furthermore, established enterprise software
companies, including IBM, Hewlett-Packard Company, Microsoft Corporation and similar companies, may leverage their existing relationships and capabilities to offer e-business customer
service applications. Any delays in the general market acceptance of the e-business customer service applications and EchoPass' proposed products and services would likely harm EchoPass'
competitive position. Delays would allow EchoPass' competitors additional time to approve their service or product offerings, and also provide time for new competitors to develop
e-business customer service applications and solicit prospective customers within EchoPass' target markets. Increased competition could result in pricing pressures, reduced operating
margins and loss of market share.

Risk of Emergency Interruption of eCustomer Contact Center Operations.Sento's business depends to a large extent on
computer and telecommunications equipment and software systems (both equipment and systems maintained by Sento and equipment and systems maintained by third parties, including EchoPass). Sento cannot
provide any assurance that natural disaster, human error, equipment malfunction or inadequacy, or other events would not result in a prolonged interruption in Sento's ability to provide support
services to its clients. The temporary or permanent loss of computer or telephone equipment or systems, through casualty, operating malfunction or otherwise, could have a
material adverse effect on Sento. Property and business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate Sento for all losses that it may incur.

Changing Market.The market for IT services is characterized by rapid technological advances, new product introductions
and enhancements, and changes in customer requirements. Sento's future success will depend in large part on its ability to service new products, platforms and rapidly changing technology. These
factors will require Sento to provide adequately trained personnel to address the increasingly sophisticated, complex and evolving needs of its customers. The complex nature of support

14

---

services has resulted in the demand for technical support services to expand beyond the telephone and now includes e-mail, faxes and the Internet. Services include resolution of problems
relating to the configuration and set-up, installation and interoperability of different products, and the level of support requests ranges from simple error messages to complex network
configurations. These services cover a broad set of technologies, including operating environments, applications, databases, communication and network products, systems tools, development environments
and Internet/intranet products. There can be no assurance that Sento will be able to provide such services profitably. The failure by Sento to adapt to the changing IT service industry would have an
adverse impact on Sento's results of operations and financial condition.

Sento's
success will depend in part on EchoPass' ability to develop solutions that keep pace with the continuing changes in information technology, evolving industry standards and
changing client requirements. There can be no assurance that Sento will be successful in adequately addressing these developments on a timely basis or that, if these developments are addressed, Sento
will be successful in the marketplace. In addition, there can be no assurance that products or technologies developed by others will not render Sento's services non-competitive or
obsolete. Sento's or EchoPass' failure to address these developments could have a material adverse effect on Sento's business and financial condition.

Attracting, Training and Retaining Quality Management and Employees.The IT services market suffers from a significant
labor shortage. Sento's success will depend, in large part, on its ability to attract, retain and train highly-qualified technical, managerial and marketing personnel with IT expertise. Sento has not
entered into employment agreements that require the services of any of its key managerial or technical personnel to remain with Sento for any specified period of time. Competition for such personnel
is intense. There can be no assurance that Sento will be able to attract and maintain the personnel necessary for the development and operation of its business nor that it will be able to train its
current employees on new developments in technology. Specifically, the loss of the Company's current Vice President of Operations, its Chief Executive Officer, or its Chief Financial Officer or of the
services of any other key personnel or an inability to attract, retain, train and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of
operations of Sento.

In
addition, Sento's total employee count has grown from approximately 585 as of March 31, 2000 to approximately 969 as of December 31, 2000. The Company cannot provide
any assurance that its current management team can successfully manage Sento's rapidly evolving business, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon Sento's operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.At December 31, 2000, Sento had working capital of $4,247,000 and a cash
balance of $3,317,000. Sento's liquidity position has improved since December, 1999. However, future growth, particularly growth in excess of planned growth, will depend on the Company's ability to
obtain financing. The historic growth rate of the technical services division has consumed substantial amounts of cash, and the Company may be required to pursue additional funding opportunities to
fund future growth should it accelerate in excess of historical and planned future growth. In the event the Company is not able to find such alternate sources of funding, its ability to pursue its
planned business strategy may be limited. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary capital funding on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.

Dependence on Industry Trend to Outsource Services.Sento's business depends in large part on the trend within the IT
industry to outsource certain services. Sento cannot provide any assurance that this trend will continue or that, if the trend continues, it will continue at the same rate of growth. The failure of
this trend to continue could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of Sento.

15

Potential Significant Fluctuations in Quarterly Results.The value of individual transactions can constitute a
substantial percentage of Sento's quarterly revenue, and particular transactions may generate a substantial portion of the operating profits for a quarter. Because Sento's staffing and other operating
expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, and a high percentage of its expenses are fixed, delays in the receipt of orders can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to
quarter. In addition, Sento may expend significant resources pursuing potential sales that will not be consummated. Sento also may choose to reduce prices or to increase spending in response to
competition or to pursue new market opportunities, which may adversely affect its operating results.

In
particular, Sento's quarterly revenues from its eCustomer Contact Center operations are potentially volatile. Such revenues are principally a function of the number of support
requests received by Sento, and the time spent on such requests. Consequently, Sento's profitability may be adversely affected if Sento receives fewer support requests than anticipated or the time
spent in resolving inquiries is greater than anticipated.

For
the reasons identified above, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of Sento's results of operations may not be meaningful and that no one
should rely upon them as an indication of future performance. Furthermore, Sento cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly basis.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price.The trading price of the Common Stock has fluctuated widely in response to
variations in quarterly operating results, announcements by Sento or its competitors, industry trends, general economic conditions or other events or factors. Such fluctuations, as well as
fluctuations in the trading volume of the Common Stock, may continue in the future. Regardless of the general outlook for Sento's business, the announcement of quarterly operating results below
analyst and investor expectations could have a material and adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.

Anti-Takeover Considerations.Sento's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Utah Revised Business
Corporation Act and the Utah Control Shares Acquisition Act each contain certain provisions that may have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated merger or other business combination.
Sento's Articles of Incorporation grant to the Board of Directors the authority, without further action by Sento's shareholders, to fix the rights and preferences of, and issue shares of preferred
stock. These provisions may deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of Sento or changes in Sento's management, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise
receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market prices. In addition, these provisions may limit the ability of shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be
in their best interests.

Dividends.Dividends are payable on the Common Stock only when, as and if declared by Sento's Board of Directors. At
present Sento intends to retain any future earnings for use in its business and therefore does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
