Item 1.  Business

Introduction

Netsmart Technologies, Inc. develops, markets and supports Web-enabled,
Windows-based, thin-client, enterprise- wide, open platform software systems to
providers of services in the health and human services market, including mental
health clinics, substance abuse clinics, psychiatric hospitals, public health
agencies, managed care organizations and correctional facilities. We sell our
software products through our wholly owned subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics
Corporation, either on a license or a subscription basis to health care
providers and we support our software under long-term maintenance agreements.
The maintenance contracts provide us with a recurring revenue stream.

We believe that we are one of the largest suppliers of practice management
systems to the behavioral health market, with over 500 contracts in place,
representing approximately 50,000 clinicians, including 24 state agencies and
installations in 43 states.

The cost of a new system to customers is typically in the range of $250,000 to
$1 million. Governmental agencies such as mental health, mental retardation,
child welfare, addiction, correction and public health facilities accounted for
approximately 40% of revenue in 2001, with the remainder from private hospitals,
smaller clinics, group and sole practitioners.

Business Strategy

Our systems provide comprehensive healthcare information technology solutions
including billing, patient tracking and scheduling for inpatient and outpatient
environments, as well as clinical documentation and medical record generation
and management. We direct our marketing effort for these products towards
providers of services in the health and human services market. Our branded suite
of products has integrated point-of-services technologies which also include
smart cards and personal digital assistants, which are commonly referred to as
PDAs.

The health and human services market is always subject to changes in state and
federal regulations as well as new demands required by the population. Some of
the factors which we believe are affecting the market include the following.

HIPAA.
------
As one of the most established suppliers of practice management solutions
to the behavioral health and substance abuse industry, we believe that we can
benefit as a result of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
which is generally known as HIPAA. HIPAA essentially mandates the Health and
Human Services department of the U.S. Government to enact standards regarding
the standardization, privacy and security of health care information that will
begin to take effect in the latter part of 2002.

We believe that this legislation will have the effect of requiring the
under-automated health and human services industry to make the leap to install
automated systems. We believe that our product suite, in conjunction with
products offered by our best-of-breed partners, offers comprehensive
enterprise-wide solutions for all human service providers.

California.
-----------
Significant market opportunities continue to emerge with California
leading the way. Virtually all the 58 county systems, now running on legacy or
end-of-cycle information technology systems, are likely to shift to the
procurement mode within the coming 24 months. Furthermore, recently passed
Proposition 36 mandates that first-time drug offenders be directed into the
local healthcare systems rather than the criminal justice system. We recently
received our first smart-card pilot program in San Joaquin County and intend to
market the card as the solution in other markets as well. The added impact of
Proposition 36 on the 58 California county healthcare systems is therefore
expected to be substantial, and the state has appropriated some $60 million in
funding for upgrading these facilities.

Increased Demand.
-----------------
As a result of the recent acts of terrorism, the demand for services in the
mental health and public health services has been elevated.  Anxiety and fear
have gripped many people who are now seeking mental health services. This

<PAGE>

increased demand puts more pressure on providers to improve the efficiency of
care through the use of practice management and clinical systems. The potential
threat of bio terrorism will also put similar pressure on public health agencies
to improve their delivery capabilities in much the same way.

We continue to win new contracts. A significant recent example is a master
licensing agreement with a recognized Catholic hospital that will, in effect,
make the hospital a re-seller of products, thereby providing us with an entry
into the many other Catholic hospitals throughout the United States.

Forward - Looking Statements
----------------------------
Statements in this Form 10-K annual report may be "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that
express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any
other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates
and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by
management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and probably will, differ materially
from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to
numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from
time to time in this Form 10-K annual report, including the risks described
under "Risk Factors," and in other documents which we file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks
and uncertainties related to product demand, market and customer acceptance,
competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development
difficulties, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth
rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K.

Organization of the Company
---------------------------
We are a Delaware corporation formed in September 1992 under the name Medical
Services Corp. Our name was changed to Carte Medical Corporation in October
1993, CSMC Corporation in June 1995 and to Netsmart Technologies, Inc. in
February 1996. Our executive offices are located at 146 Nassau Avenue, Islip,
New York 11751, telephone (631) 968-2000. Reference to us and to Netsmart
include our subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics, unless the context indicates
otherwise. Our website is located at www.csmcorp.com. Neither the Information
contained in our website nor the information contained in any Internet website
is a part of this Form 10-K annual report.

Risk Factors
------------

Because we are particularly dependent upon government contracts, our business
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
may be impaired by policies relating to entitlement programs.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We market our health information systems principally to behavioral health
facilities, many of which are operated by government entities and include
entitlement programs. During 2001, we generated 40% of our revenue from
contracts with government agencies, as compared with 51% in 2000 and 55% in
1999. Government agencies generally have the right to cancel contracts at their
convenience. In addition, we may lose business if government agencies reduce
funding for entitlement programs.

Our business is based on providing systems relating to behavioral health
------------------------------------------------------------------------
organizations, and changes in government regulation of health care industry may
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
affect the market for our systems.
----------------------------------
The federal and state governments have adopted numerous regulations relating to
the health care industry, including regulations relating to the payments to
health care providers for various services, and our systems are designed to
provide information based on these requirements. The adoption of new regulations
can have a significant effect upon the operations of health care providers,
particularly those operated by state agencies. We cannot predict the effect on
our business of future regulations by governments and payment practices by
government agencies. Furthermore, changes in regulations in the health care
field may force us to modify our

<PAGE>

health information systems to meet any new record-keeping or other requirements.
If that happens, we may not be able to generate revenues sufficient to cover the
costs of developing the modifications.

If we are not able to take advantage of technological advances, our business may
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
suffer.
-------
Our customers require software which enables them to store, retrieve and process
very large quantities of data and to provide them with instantaneous
communications among the various data bases. Our business requires us to take
advantage of recent advances in software, computer and communications
technology. This technology has been developing at rapid rates in recent years,
and our future may be dependent upon our ability to use and develop or obtain
rights to products utilizing such technology. New technology may develop in a
manner which may make our software obsolete. Our inability to use new technology
would have a significant adverse effect upon our business.

Because of our size, we may have difficulty competing with larger companies that
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
offer similar services.
-----------------------
Our customers in the human services market include entitlement programs, managed
care organizations and specialty care facilities which have a need for access to
information over a distributed data network. The software industry in general,
and the health information software business in particular, are highly
competitive. Other companies have the staff and resources to develop competitive
systems. We may not be able to compete successfully with such competitors. The
health information systems business is served by a number of major companies and
a larger number of smaller companies. We believe that price competition is a
significant factor in our ability to market our health information systems and
services.

Because we are dependent on our management, the loss of key executive officers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
could harm our business.
------------------------
Our business is largely dependent upon our senior executive officers, Messrs.
James L. Conway, chief executive officer, Gerald O. Koop, president and Anthony
F. Grisanti, chief financial officer. Although we have employment agreements
with these officers, the employment agreement do not guarantee that the officers
will continue with us, and each of these officers has the right to terminate his
employment with us on 90 days notice. Our business may be adversely affected if
any of our key management personnel or other key employees left our employ.

Because we lack patent protection, we cannot assure you that others will not be
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
able to use our proprietary information in competition with us.
---------------------------------------------------------------
We have no patent or copyright protection for our proprietary software, and we
rely on non-disclosure agreements with our employees. Since our business is
dependent upon our proprietary products, the unauthorized use or disclosure of
this information could harm our business.

Our growth may be limited if we cannot make acquisitions.
---------------------------------------------------------
A part of our growth strategy is to acquire other businesses that are related to
our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our securities
or a combination of cash and securities. To the extent that we require cash, we
may have to borrow the funds or issue equity. Our stock price may adversely
affect our ability to make acquisitions for equity or to raise funds for
acquisition through the issues of equity securities. If we fail to make any
acquisitions, our future growth may be limited. As of the date of this Form 10-K
annual report, we do not have any agreement or understanding, either formal or
informal, as to any acquisition.

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
business.
---------
If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired
companies' personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel
of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us, and our officers may
exercise their rights to terminate their employment with us. We cannot predict
the affect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are
successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing
business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.

<PAGE>

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

The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
issuance of preferred stock.
----------------------------
Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the right to
create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may,
without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend,
conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting
power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. The preferred stock,
which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be
utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of
control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the
price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any
additional shares of preferred stock or to create any series of preferred stock,
we may issue such shares in the future. If we issue preferred stock in a manner
which dilutes the voting rights of the holders of the common stock, our listing
on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market may be impaired.

Shares may be issued pursuant to options which may affect the market price of
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
our common stock.
-----------------
We may issue stock upon the exercise of options to purchase up to an aggregate
967,885 shares of common stock pursuant to our long-term incentive plans, all of
which were outstanding at March 14, 2002. The exercise of these options and the
sale of the underlying shares of common stock may have an adverse effect upon
the price of our stock.

Health and Human Services Systems and Services

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

Users typically purchase one of several healthcare information systems, in the
form of a perpetual license to use the system, as well as purchasing
professional services, support, and maintenance. In addition, we offer third
party hardware and software pursuant to value added resale arrangements with
third party vendors. The professional services include project management,
training, consulting and software development services, which are provided
either on a time and material basis or pursuant to a fixed-price contract. The
software development services may require the adaptation of health care
information technology systems to meet the specific requirements of the
customer.

Our typical license for a health information system ranges from $10,000 to
$100,000 for a single facility healthcare organization to $250,000 to $1,000,000
for multi-unit care organizations such as those run by state agencies. Revenue
from license fees were approximately $747,000, or 4.1% of revenue, for 2001,
$2,603,000, or 12.9% of revenue, for 2000 and $2,228,000, or 10.5% of revenue,
for 1999. A customer's purchase order may also include third party hardware or
software. Revenue from hardware and third party software accounted for
approximately $2,390,000, or 13.2% of revenue, for 2001, $4,158,000, or 20.6% of
revenue, for 2000 and $5,915,000, or 27.8% of revenue, for 1999. Revenue from
turnkey systems labor accounted for approximately $6,568,000, or 36.3% of
revenue, for 2001, $6,502,000, or 32.2% of revenue, for 2000 and $7,768,000, or
36.6% of revenue in 1999.

In addition to our behavioral/public healthcare information systems and related
services, we offer processing services to substance abuse facilities and
maintain a data center facility at which our personnel perform data entry, data
processing and produce operations reports for smaller substance abuse clinics.
Our data center revenue was approximately $2,042,000, or 11.3% of revenue, for
2001, $2,263,000, or 11.2% of revenue, for 2000 and $1,908,000, or 9% of
revenue, for 1999.

Maintenance services have generated increasing revenue and have become a more
significant portion of our business since most purchasers of health care
information system licenses also purchase maintenance service. Maintenance
revenue increases as existing customers purchase additional licenses and new
customers purchase

<PAGE>

their initial software licenses. By agreement with our customers, we provide
telephone help services and maintain and upgrade their software. Maintenance
contracts may require us to make modifications to meet any new federal and state
reporting requirements which become effective during the term of the maintenance
contract. We do not maintain the hardware and third party software sold to our
customers, but we provide a telephone help line service for certain third party
software, which we license to our customers. Our maintenance revenue was
approximately $5,192,000, or 28.7% of revenue, for 2001, $3,521,000, or 17.5% of
revenue, for 2000 and $2,258,000, or 10.6% of revenue, for 1999.

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

    *    Avatar - Practice Management: This system is a comprehensive solution
         providing patient management functions, billing, tracking, scheduling,
         and reporting for inpatient treatment facilities.

    *    Avatar - Clinician Workstation: This workstation provides a clinician
         with documentation and medical record management including assessment,
         care planning, progress notes and on-line medical records. The
         clinician workstation is our electronic medical record system for
         behavioral health, which integrates the clinical tools necessary for an
         interdisciplinary approach to the delivery of human services.

    *    Avatar - M4: Pursuant to a joint marketing agreement with Mallinckrodt
         Pharmaceutical Specialties, a division of Mallinckrodt Inc., we offer a
         solution for dispensing, admissions and medical records, counselor and
         reception/security specifically for methadone clinics. We can integrate
         M4 with our other behavioral health products.

    *    Avatar - Managed Care: The managed care and employee assistance program
         modules include such features as service request management, contact
         tracking (patients, providers, others), import of eligibility
         information by contract, provider search by location, specialty,
         contract, hospital privileges, claims adjudication and payment.

    *    Smart Card: Tracking software application on a smart card platform to
         enable coordination of patient services across multiple providers, even
         if their systems are of incompatible design. This new level of patient
         data portability will allow sales activity across all areas of human
         services regardless of the client's existing technology.

Markets and Marketing

The market for behavioral/public health information systems and related services
consists of both private and publicly operated providers offering hospital or
community-based outpatient behavioral/public healthcare services. These
healthcare providers require a healthcare information system to administer their
programs. We believe that there are at least 15,000 behavioral/public healthcare
providers in the United States, including public and private hospitals, private
and community-based residential facilities and federal, state and local
governmental agencies.

Many long-term behavioral/public healthcare facilities are operated by
government entities and include those operated as part of entitlement programs.
During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, approximately 40%, 51%
and 55%, respectively, of revenue was generated from contracts with government
agencies. Contracts with government agencies generally include provisions which
permit the contracting agency to cancel the contract for its convenience,
although we have not experienced a termination for convenience in the last five
years.

In addition to these major behavioral/public healthcare providers, there are a
larger number of sole practitioners, group practices and smaller clinics which
may also require behavioral/public healthcare facilities. We intend to market
our Internet-based systems to these potential customers.

<PAGE>


We believe that the demand for information technology solutions is increasing as
a result of new federal initiatives for data standards as well as continuous
pressure from managed care providers to reduce healthcare delivery costs while
expanding the availability of services.

In order to remain competitive, the behavioral/public health delivery networks
need detailed clinical and management information systems that enable providers
within the networks to maintain a broad scope of accurate medical and financial
information, manage costs and deliver quality care efficiently. In addition, the
need to upgrade existing systems to meet the increased demand for data
processing needs of managed care and regulatory oversight has also resulted in
an increased demand for behavioral/public healthcare information technology.
These data processing needs include analysis of patient assessments, maintenance
of patient records, administration of patient treatment plans and the overall
coordination of patient case management.

We coordinate our marketing effort with the state agencies and other major users
of our systems. Our state agency clients formed a State Systems Association,
presently consisting of state organizations or agencies from 24 states. The
association's members work with us to assess and determine future requirements
in both patient managed care coordination and regulatory reporting.

No customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue in 2001 and 2000. For the
year ended December 31, 1999, one customer accounted for revenue of
approximately $3.8 million or 18% of our revenue.

We had a backlog of orders, including ongoing maintenance and data center
contracts for our behavioral health information systems of $16.5 million at
December 31, 2001 and $14.4 million at December 31, 2000. A substantial amount
of the 2001 backlog is expected to be filled during 2002.

Product Development
-------------------

We incurred product development costs relating to our behavioral health
information systems of approximately $1,335,000 in 2001, $1,360,000 in 2000 and
$800,000 in 1999, all of which was company-sponsored. In 2001, we incurred
capitalized software development costs of approximately $167,000 associated with
our acquisition of software products from Advanced Institutional Management
Software, Inc. In 2000, we incurred capitalized software development costs of
approximately $219,000 in connection with the development of our web portal
services and application service provider solutions for healthcare providers.
During 2000, we also incurred capitalized software development costs of $334,000
associated with our acquisition of the Connex suite of managed care and employee
assistance program information systems. Included in these costs is $100,000 of
valued assigned to the 15,528 shares of our common stock which we issued to
acquire the Connex suite.

Competition
-----------

The healthcare software industry is highly competitive. Although we believe that
we can provide a health care facility or managed care organization with software
to enable it to perform its services more effectively, other software companies
provide comparable systems and also have the staff and resources to develop
competitive systems.

According to independent consulting reports, healthcare information technology
is an $18 billion industry served by numerous vendors. The dominant health care
information technology vendors have achieved annual sales of more than $1
billion by focusing on solutions for large medical/surgical health care
providers, such as large hospital systems and health maintenance organizations,
and, have not focused on the behavioral/public healthcare industry. We believe
that most of the presently available healthcare management software does not
meet the specific needs of the behavioral/public healthcare industry, and that
the functionality of our information systems are designed to meet the needs of
this market. However, the behavioral health information systems business is
serviced by a number of companies, some of which are better capitalized with
larger infrastructure than we, and we may not be able to continue to compete
effectively with such companies.

We have an established customer base of more than 500 clients nationwide,
including substantial private and government providers of healthcare services.
These 500 contracts represent approximately 50,000 clinicians, including 24
state agencies and installations in 43 states.

<PAGE>

Government Regulations and Contracts
------------------------------------

The federal and state governments have adopted numerous regulations relating to
the health care industry, including regulations relating to the payments to
health care providers for various services. The adoption of new regulations can
have a significant effect upon the operations of health care providers and
insurance companies. Although our business is aimed at meeting certain of the
problems resulting from government regulations and from efforts to reduce the
cost of health care, we cannot predict the effect of future regulations by
governments and payment practices by government agencies or health insurers,
including reductions in the funding for or scope of entitlement programs. Any
change in the structure of health care in the United States can have a material
effect on companies, such as us, that provide services to the health care
industry, including those providing software. Although we believe that the
likely direction which may result from the current study of the health care
industry would be an increased trend to managed care programs, thereby
increasing the importance of automation, our business may not benefit from any
changes in the industry structure. Even if the industry does evolve toward more
healthcare being provided by managed care organizations, it is possible that
there will be substantial concentration in a few very large organizations, which
may seek to develop their own software or obtain software from other sources. To
the extent that the health care industry evolves with greater
government-sponsored programs and less privately run organizations, our business
may be adversely affected. Furthermore, to the extent that each state changes
its own regulations in the health care field, it may be necessary for us to
modify our behavioral health information systems to meet any new record-keeping
or other requirements imposed by changes in regulations, and we may not be able
to generate revenues sufficient to cover the costs of developing the
modifications.

A significant amount of our business has been with government agencies,
including specialized care facilities operated by, or under contract with,
government agencies. The decision on the part of a government agency to enter
into a contract is dependent upon a number of factors, including economic and
budgetary problems affecting the local area, and government procurement
regulations, which may include the need for approval by more than one agency
before a contract is signed. In addition, government agencies generally include
provisions in their contracts which permit the contracting agency to cancel the
contract at its convenience. We have not experienced a termination for
convenience in the last five years.

Intellectual Property Rights
----------------------------

We have no patent rights for our behavioral health information system software,
but we rely upon copyright protection for our software, as well as
non-disclosure and secrecy agreements with our employees and third parties to
whom we disclose information. We may not be able to protect our proprietary
rights to our system and third parties may claim rights in the system.
Disclosure of the codes used in any proprietary product, whether or not in
violation of a non-disclosure agreement, could have a materially adverse affect
upon us, even if we are successful in obtaining injunctive relief. We must
continue to invest in product development, employee training, and client
support.

Employees
---------

As of December 31, 2001, we had 136 employees, including 4 executive, 12 sales
and marketing, 111 technical and 9 clerical and administrative employees.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

We are a defendant in an arbitration proceeding commenced in March 2001 by
PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP, seeking damages of $635,000 for an alleged breach
of a staff augmentation services agreement. We believe that we have valid legal
defenses to this action.

In October 2000, our subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics, commenced an action
against the City of Richmond, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of Suffolk, which action was subsequently removed to the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York, for failure to pay more
than $1 million pursuant a contract we have with Richmond. Richmond advised the
court that it intended to move to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal
jurisdiction in New York and improper venue. The parties are currently engaged
in discovery on jurisdictional issues. In November 2000, Richmond filed a
complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia,
alleging, among other things, that the contract with Creative Socio-Medics was
procured through fraudulent misrepresentations concerning the nature of the work
to be performed and the price for the services and that Creative Socio-Medics
failed to perform its obligations under the agreement, seeking damages of
$373,000 and a finding that it owes no additional amounts to Creative
Socio-Medics. The parties entered into a stipulation staying the Richmond action
until a determination of Richmond's jurisdictional challenges to the New York
action. We believe that we have valid claims against Richmond and we intend to
vigorously pursue those claims. We also believe that the allegations contained
in Richmond's complaint are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend
against those claims.

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

Results of Operations

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from fixed price software
development contracts and licenses. We principally recognize this revenue on the
estimated percentage of completion basis. Since the billing schedules under the
contracts differ from the recognition of revenue, at the end of any period,
these contracts generally result in either costs and estimated profits in excess
of billing or billing in excess of cost and estimated profits. The largest
component of our revenue is based upon the time spent by our technical personnel
on a project. As a result, during the third and fourth quarters, when many of
our employees are on vacation and holidays, our revenue could be affected.

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

Our revenue for 2001 was $18,119,000, a decrease of $2,052,000, or 10%, from our
revenue for 2000, which was $20,171,000. The largest component of revenue was
turnkey systems labor revenue, which increased to $6,568,000 in 2001, from
$6,502,000 in 2000, reflecting a 1% increase. Although there was a general
decline in the sales of turnkey systems, due to an industry wide slowdown in
information technology purchasing activity, we were able to generate additional
labor revenue for customization and enhancements services for our existing
client base. Revenue from third party hardware and software decreased to
$2,390,000 in 2001, from $4,158,000 in 2000, which represents a decrease of 43%.
Sales of third party hardware and software are made in connection with the sales
of turnkey systems and were affected by the decline in the sales of turnkey
systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than our
behavioral health systems and services revenue. The data center (service bureau)
revenue decreased to $2,042,000 in 2001, from $2,263,000 in 2000, reflecting a
decrease of 10%. This decrease is substantially the result of work performed for
one particular client during 2000 as well as a smaller client base during 2001.
License revenue decreased to $747,000 in 2001, from $2,603,000 in 2000,
reflecting a decrease of 71%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of
a behavioral health information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order
that includes delivery of the system and maintenance and is affected by the
decline in revenue from turnkey systems. Maintenance revenue increased to
$5,192,000 in 2001, from $3,521,000 in 2000, reflecting an increase of 48%. As
turnkey systems are completed, they are transitioned to the maintenance
division. Included in 2001 is $935,000 of maintenance revenue related to
contracts for AIMS software. We acquired the rights to the AIMS software,
including its installed customer base, in May 2001. Revenue from the sales of
our small turnkey division increased to $1,180,000 in 2001, from $1,124,000 in
2000, reflecting an increase of 5%.

Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 40% of revenue in
2001 and 51% of revenue in 2000. This decrease reflects a reduction in new
government contracts.

Gross profit decreased to $6,118,000 in 2001 from $8,215,000 in 2000, reflecting
a decrease of 26%. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 34% in 2001 from 41%
in 2000. This decrease was substantially the result of a decrease in our license
and data center revenue mentioned above. In addition, the gross margin
associated with the AIMS maintenance revenue is currently lower than the gross
margin experienced with our other maintenance revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,384,000 in 2001, reflecting
a decrease of 7% from the $4,715,000 in 2000. This decrease was substantially in
the area of bonus provisions and costs related to issuance and extensions of
warrants and was partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing costs.

We incurred product development expenses of $1,335,000 in 2001, a decrease of 2%
from the $1,360,000 in 2000. During 2001, we continued to invest in improved
functionality and technology in our products, but at a lesser extent than in
2000.

Interest expense was $187,000 in 2001, an increase of $26,000, or 16%, from the
$161,000 in 2000. This increase was substantially the result of interest
associated with the $2,500,000 term loan arrangement, which we entered into in
June 2001.

Interest and other income consisted of interest income of $42,000 and other
income of $30,000.

<PAGE>

We have a net operating loss tax carry forward of approximately $11 million. In
2001 we recorded an income tax benefit of $31,000. This benefit was based upon
an overaccrual of state and federal taxes in 2000. In 2000, we provided for
income taxes in the amount of $157,000. The 2000 provision was based upon
federal alternative minimum tax calculations as well as for certain state taxes.
In addition, we recognized a partial tax benefit in the amount of $494,000
principally related to our net operating loss carryfowards. We recognized an
additional $6,000 benefit of our operating loss carryfowards in 2001.

As a result of the foregoing factors, in 2001, we had a net income of $315,000,
or $.09 per share (basic) and $.08 per share (diluted). For 2000, we had net
income of $2,386,000, or $.71 per share (basic) and $.63 per share (diluted).

Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

Our revenue for 2000 was $20,171,000, a decrease of $1,081,000, or 5%, from our
1999 revenue, which was $21,252,000. The largest component of revenue was
turnkey systems labor revenue, which decreased to $6,502,000 in 2000, from
$7,768,000 in 1999, reflecting a 16% decrease. This decrease reflects the
allocation of personnel to our product enhancement efforts instead of services
under the contracts. Revenue from third party hardware and software decreased to
$4,158,000 in 2000 from $5,915,000 in 1999, which represents a decrease of 30%.
Sales of third party hardware and software are made in connection with the sales
of turnkey systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than
our behavioral health systems and services revenue. The data center (service
bureau) revenue increased to $2,263,000 in 2000 from $1,908,000 in the 1999,
reflecting an increase of 19%. This increase is substantially the result of work
being performed for one particular client which has not continued in 2001.
License revenue increased to $2,603,000 in 2000 from $2,228,000 in 1999,
reflecting an increase of 17%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of
a behavioral health information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order
that includes delivery of the system and maintenance. Maintenance revenue
increased to $3,521,000 in 2000 from $2,258,000 in 1999, reflecting an increase
of 56%. As turnkey systems are completed, they are transitioned to the
maintenance division. During 2000 we completed the turnkey systems for
approximately 32 new clients, for which we are performing maintenance services.
Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division decreased to $1,124,000 in
2000 from $1,174,000 in 1999, reflecting a decrease of 4%.

Revenue from contracts from government agencies represented 51% of revenue in
2000 and 55% of revenue in 1999. This decrease reflects both the completion of
contracts with government agencies and recognition of revenue in 2000 from a
substantial contract with a private institution.

Gross profit increased to $8,215,000 in 2000 from $7,375,000 in 1999, reflecting
an 11% increase. Our overall gross margin was 41% in 2000 compared to 35% in
1999. The increase in gross margin was substantially attributable to the
decrease in our third party hardware and software revenue, which yields margins
significantly less than revenue from our behavioral health systems and services,
and the increase in maintenance revenue, which generates a higher gross margin
since the core costs and infrastructure investment have previously been
established.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,715,000 in 2000, an
increase of 1% from the $4,680,000 in 1999.

We incurred product development expenses of $1,360,000 in 2000, an increase of
70% from the $800,000 in 1999. Research and development expenses increased in
2000 as a result of several major product initiatives. These initiatives include
the repositioning of all of our products to a client environment that will
facilitate alternative system delivery methods, including Internet and
application service provider channels. Additionally, we significantly upgraded
our core product to provide them with more current technologies and to integrate
them with customer specific requirements.

Interest expense was $161,000 in 2000, a decrease of $89,000, or 36%, from the
$250,000 in 1999. This decrease was the result of lower borrowings during 2000,
in addition to a reduced cost of borrowings. The most significant component of
the interest expense on an ongoing basis is the interest payable to our
asset-based lender. We paid interest on such loans at a rate equal to prime plus
5 % in 1999. In October 1999, we entered into a new credit facility agreement.
The interest rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime rate. During

<PAGE>

2000, we paid all our outstanding borrowings from the lender, and, at December
31, 2000, there were no outstanding obligations to the lender.

We recognized a gain of $70,000 from our discontinued operations in 2000. This
gain resulted from the reduction in our reserve against a promissory note
received from the sale of the discontinued operations. We reduced the reserve as
a result of our sale of our interest in the purchaser for a note. In 1999, we
recognized a gain from our discontinued operations of $180,000.

We have a net operating loss tax carryforward of approximately $10.7 million.
However, in 2000, we provided for income taxes in the amount of $157,000. This
provision was based upon federal alternative minimum tax calculations as well as
for certain state taxes where we do not have any net operating loss carry
forwards. In addition, we recognized a partial tax benefit in the amount of
$494,000 principally related to our net operating loss carryforwards.

As a result of the foregoing factors, in 2000 we generated a net income from
continuing operations of $2,316,000, or $.69 per share (basic) and $.61 per
share (diluted), a gain from discontinued operations of $70,000, or $.02 per
share (basic and diluted), and a net income of $2,386,000, or $.71 per share
(basic) and $.63 per share (diluted). For 1999, we generated net income from
continuing operations of $1,645,000, or $.56 per share (basic) and $.47 per
share (diluted), a gain from discontinued operations of $180,000, or $.06 per
share (basic) and $.05 per share (diluted), and a net income of $1,825,000, or
$.62 per share (basic) and $.52 per share (diluted).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In June 2001, we entered into a financing arrangement with Fleet Bank. This
improved credit facility medium term financing replaced our asset-based
borrowing facility. The new financing provides us with a five-year term loan of
$2.5 million, as well as a two year $1.5 million revolving line of credit. The
term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.95% per annum and the revolving
line of credit is priced at the prime rate. Under our revolving line of credit,
we can borrow up to 75% of eligible receivables up to a maximum of $1.5 million.
The maximum available to us at December 31, 2001 under the borrowing base
formula was $1.5 million. The interest rate on the previous facility was prime +
2%. The proceeds of the term loan are designated for acquisitions as well as for
product enhancements specific to California requirements. The revolving line of
credit will be utilized for general working capital needs. We did not use the
revolving line of credit during 2001. We have made principal payments on the
$2.5 million term loan and the amount outstanding at December 31, 2001 is
$2,250,000.

We had working capital of $7.9 million at December 31, 2001 as compared to
working capital of $5.9 million at December 31, 2000. The increase in working
capital for 2001 was substantially the result of our $2.5 million term loan as
well as cash flow from operations.

On May 10, 2001, we acquired the intellectual property, customer contracts and
certain other assets of Advanced Institutional Management Systems, Inc.
("AIMS"). The principal assets acquired were the AIMS' customer base and the
rights to AIMS' Correctional and Public Health Systems software. The purchase
price consisted of 180,000 shares of the Company's common stock, of which 18,000
shares are held in escrow and $500,000 cash. We funded the cash portion with our
term loan. In addition, we may issue up to 100,000 additional shares of common
stock, based upon revenue derived from new contracts for the AIMS systems.

At December 31, 2001, accounts receivable and costs and estimated profits in
excess of interim billings were approximately $9.7 million, representing
approximately 192 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2001, although no assurance can be given that revenue will
continue at the same level.

Based on our outstanding contracts and our continuing business, we believe that
our cash flow from operations, the availability under our financing agreement
and our cash on hand will be sufficient to enable us to continue to operate
without additional funding. It is possible that we may need additional funding
if our business does not develop as we anticipate or if our expenses, including
our software development costs relating to our

<PAGE>

expansion of our product line and our marketing costs for seeking to expand the
market for our products and services to include smaller clinics and facilities
and sole group practitioners exceed our expectation.

An important part of our growth strategy is to acquire other businesses that are
related to our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our
securities or a combination of cash and securities. If we fail to make any
acquisitions our future growth may be limited to only internal growth. As of the
date of this Form 10-K annual report, we did not have any agreements or
understandings with respect to any acquisitions, and we cannot give any
assurance that we will be able to complete any acquisitions.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Form 10-K annual report may be "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that
express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any
other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions.  These statements are based on current expectations, estimates

(a) Includes the benefit of a net operating loss in the amount of $494 in the
fourth quarter of 2000.

Earnings per share for each quarter are computed using the weighted-average
number of shares outstanding during that quarter, while earnings per share for
the full year are computed using the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the year. Thus, the sum of the earnings per share for the
four quarters' earnings per share may not equal the full-year earnings per
share.

         Our board of directors has two committees - the audit committee and the
compensation committee.

         The audit committee consists of three independent directors, Messrs.
Francis J. Calcagno, who is chairman of the committee, John S.T. Gallagher and

committee.

the meetings of the board and any committee of which they are members.

         We pay a monthly fee of $750 to Messrs. Calcagno and Sicinski and
$2,000 to Mr. Gallagher and we pay the chairman of the board a monthly fee of
$1,500.

         Our certificate of incorporation includes certain provisions, permitted

or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or

the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.

         The bonuses for Mr. Koop includes accrued commissions of $82,874 for
2001, $94,568 for 2000 and $100,169 for 1999. These commissions will be paid in

         In January 2001, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs.
James L. Conway, John F. Phillips, Gerald O. Koop and Anthony F. Grisanti for a
term of three years for Messrs. Conway and Grisanti and two years for Messrs.
Koop and Phillips. We believe that these officers are vital to our business.
Each of the officers has the right to extend the term for an additional year.
Following termination of the employment term, or earlier at the discretion of
the officer, each of the officers has the right to continue as a part-time
consultant for a term of five years for annual compensation of $75,000. Pursuant
to these agreements, these officers received the following salaries in 2001: Mr.
Conway - $170,239, Mr. Koop - $148,959, Mr. Phillips - $148,959, and Mr.
Grisanti - $127,679. The agreements provide for annual increases. The agreements
provide that the executives are eligible to participate in a bonus pool to be
determined annually by the board, based on the executive's performance. The
agreements also provide each of these officers with an automobile allowance,
which is included under "Salary,"and insurance benefits. In the event of the
officer's dismissal or resignation or a material change in his duties or in the
event of a termination of employment by the executive or by us as a result of a
change of control, the officer may receive severance payments of between 30 and
36 months' compensation.

agreement Dominick & Dominick, Inc., of which Mr. Francis J. Calcagno, one of
our directors, is a senior managing director. Mr. Calcagno was not a director at
the time we entered into this agreement with Dominck & Dominick. Dominick &
Dominick holds warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $5.45 per share. These warrants were issued pursuant to a
nonexclusive investment banking agreement dated September 8, 1999.

         We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Bright dated January 1,
2001, pursuant to which Mr. Bright is to devote 50% of his time to our business
for a period of two years, with Mr. Bright having the right to extend the term
for an additional year. Following the completion of the term, or earlier at the
discretion of Mr. Bright, Mr. Bright continues as a part-time consultant for an
additional five years. Mr. Bright receives compensation at the annual rate of
$75,000 during the consulting term, and we provide him with an automobile
allowance and insurance benefits. Mr. Bright is eligible, at the discretion of
the board, to participate in a bonus pool which may be established by the board.
___ In the event that Mr. Bright's consultant relationship is terminated as a
result of a change of control, we are to pay him as severance pay between 30 and
36 months compensation. We paid Mr. Bright total compensation of $88,180 for
2001, in addition to a bonus of $25,000.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc.



            We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2001.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

            We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

            In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and
2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated
cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

[1] The Company

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

During 2001, the Company acquired the intellectual property, customer contracts
and certain other assets of Advanced Institutional Management Systems ("AIMS").
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
principal assets acquired were the AIMS' customer base and the rights to AIMS'
Correctional and Public Health Systems software. The purchase price consisted of
180,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $376,200, of which
18,000 shares are held in escrow, and $500,000 cash. In addition, the Company
may issue up to 100,000 additional shares of common stock, based on revenue
derived from new contracts for the AIMS systems. The value of such shares, if
issued, will be charged to operations. The Company also assumed certain contract
obligations. The Company has allocated $194,986 of assumed contract obligations
to the purchase price. The cost of the acquisition was $1,161,100, of which
$167,000 was allocated to software development and $994,100 to customer lists.
The Company is amortizing the purchased software over a three-year life and the
customer lists over a seven-year life.

The following unaudited proforma condensed statements of operations assumes the
AIMS acquisition occurred on January 1, 2000. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly such unaudited proforma statements have
been made. AIMS fiscal year end is September 30. For the following proforma
condensed statements of operations, the AIMS year end of September 30 is
consolidated with the Netsmart fiscal year end of December 31.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. ("Netsmart"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Creative Socio-Medics Corp. ("CSM") as well as PsyMedX, a joint venture in which
Netsmart owns an 80% interest. In addition, the results of operations from the
AIMS acquisition is included from May 2001. All intercompany transactions are
eliminated in consolidation. No minority interest related to the joint venture
has been recorded, since the joint venture partner was in breach of the joint
venture agreement and in 2001 ceased to exist.

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
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents totaled approximately $2,035,000 and $363,000 at December 31, 2001
and 2000 respectively.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company extends credit to customers which
results in accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The
Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial
instruments subject to credit risk. The Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of its customers and based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
the customers believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is
limited.

The Company's behavioral health information systems are marketed to specialized
care facilities, many of which are operated by government entities and include
entitlement programs. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
approximately 40%, 51% and 55% respectively, of the Company's revenue were
generated from contracts with government agencies.

During the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, no one customer accounted for
more than 10% of revenue. During the year ended December 31, 1999, one customer
accounted for approximately $3,835,000 or 18% of revenue.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality
financial institutions. The amount on deposit in any one institution that
exceeds federally insured limits is subject to credit risk. At December 31, 2001
and 2000, cash and cash equivalent balances of $3.6 million and $2.2 million
respectively, were held at a financial institution in excess of federally
insured limits.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue principally from the
licensing of its software and from consulting and maintenance services rendered
in connection with such licensing activities. Information processing revenue is
recognized in the period in which the service is provided. Maintenance contract
revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective
contract. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of third party hardware
and software which is recognized based upon the terms of each contract.
Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered. No revenue is
recognized prior to obtaining a binding commitment from the customer.

Software development revenue from time-and-materials contracts are recognized as
services are performed. Revenue from fixed price software development contracts
and revenue under license agreements which require significant modification of
the software package to the customer's specifications, are recognized on the
estimated percentage-of-completion method. Using the units- of-work-performed
method to measure progress towards completion, revisions in cost estimates and
recognition of losses on these contracts are reflected in the accounting period
in which the facts become known. Revenue from software package license
agreements without significant vendor obligations is recognized upon delivery of
the software. Contract terms provide for billing schedules that differ from
revenue recognition and give rise to costs and estimated profits in excess of
billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated profits.

Deferred revenue represents revenue billed and collected but not yet earned.

The cost of maintenance revenue, which consists solely of staff payroll and
applicable overhead, is expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment is stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is
computed by the straight-line method at rates adequate to allocate the cost of
applicable assets over their expected useful lives. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is computed using the shorter of the lease term or the expected
useful life of these assets.

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

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Equipment                                                       3-5 Years
Furniture and Fixtures                                            5 Years
Leasehold Improvements                                            5 Years

Capitalized Software Development Costs - Capitalization of computer software
development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility.
Technological feasibility for the Company's computer software products is
generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high risk
development issues. The establishment of technological feasibility and the
ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software
development costs requires considerable judgement by management with respect to
certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological
feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technology.

Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs commences when
the related products become available for general release to customers.
Amortization is provided on a product by product basis. The annual amortization
is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross
revenue for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross
revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated economic life of the product.

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such
capitalized software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized
amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated
from the applicable software net realizable value, any remaining capitalized
amounts are written off.

During 2000, the Company acquired the Connex suite of managed care and employee
assistance program information systems. The acquisition price consisted of
approximately $47,000 in cash and 15,528 shares of Netsmart's common stock
valued at $100,000. The purchase price was allocated to computer software in the
amount of $147,000. During 2000, the Company made additional enhancements to the
purchased software in the amount of $270,000. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company has invested approximately $417,000 on this effort of which $256,000
remains capitalized.

During 1999, the Company established PsyMedX, a joint venture with Pathware Inc.
The Company owns 80% of PsyMedX and Pathware, Inc. owns 20%. The agreement
focuses on a joint effort to develop and market web portal services and ASP
solutions for the behavioral/public healthcare providers, consumers and managers
throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has invested
approximately $428,000 in this venture of which $285,000 remains capitalized.

Customer Lists - Customer lists represent a listing of customers obtained
through the acquisitions of CSM and AIMS to which the Company can market its
products. Customer lists are being amortized on the straight-line method over an
estimated useful life of 12 years for the CSM list and 7 years for the AIMS

                                                ==========           ==========

Amortization expense amounted to $440,787, $334,276 and $334,284, respectively,
for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121 established accounting standards for the
impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, and
goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and for long- lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. Management has
determined that expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) exceed the carrying value of the long lived assets at December 31, 2001
and believes that no impairment of these assets has occurred.

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

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by
dividing income from continuing operations and net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the amount of earnings for the period available to
each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, giving
effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock from the potential
exercise of stock options and warrants.

The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion,
exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive
effect on earnings per share (i.e. improving earnings per share). The dilutive
effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents are reflected
in dilutive earnings per share by the application of the treasury stock method.
Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect only when the average market
price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the
options or warrants. The Company had potentially dilutive options and warrants
outstanding of 723,385, 974,275 and 978,022 at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

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

Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense
amounted to $290,146, $226,024 and $89,488 for the three years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Reclassification - Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current year's presentation.

Financial Instruments - Effective June 2001 the Company adopted SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended. SFAS
No. 133 requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets
or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at fair value. Generally, increases
or decreases in the fair value of derivative instrument will be recognized as
gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative
instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair
value of the derivative instrument will be recorded as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure related to
changes in the LIBOR rate. Before entering into a derivative transaction for
hedging purposes, it is determined that a high degree of initial effectiveness
exists between the change in value of the hedged item and the change in the
value of the determinative instrument from movement in interest rates. High
effectiveness means that the change in the value of the derivative instrument
will effectively offset the change in the fair value of the hedge item. The
effectiveness of each hedged item is measured throughout the hedged period. Any
hedge ineffectiveness as defined by SFAS No. 133 is recognized in the income
statement.

New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets."  Under these new standards, all acquisitions subsequent to June 30,
2001 must be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and
purchased goodwill is no longer amortized over its useful life.  Rather,

goodwill will be subject to a periodic impairment test based upon its fair
value.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), SFAS 143 establishes accounting standard for
recognition and measurements of a liability for the costs of asset retirement
obligations. Under SFAS 143, the costs of retiring an asset will be recorded as
a liability when the retirement obligation arises, and will be amortized to
expense over the life of the asset.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
discontinued operations.

Adoption of SFAS 141 will not have any effect on the Company's financial
position of results of operation. Netsmart is currently evaluating the impact of
SFAS 142, SFAS 143 and SFAS 144 to determine the effect, if any, they may have
on the consolidated financial position and results of operations. Netsmart is
required to adopt each of these standards in the first quarter of the year
ending December 31, 2002.

[5] Discontinued Operations

During 1998 the Company discontinued its CarteSmart division which included its
interest in a joint venture. On June 30, 1998, the Company sold this division,
with an option to purchase the Company's interest in the joint venture if the
other party to the venture did not elect to acquire the Company's interest, to
Granite Technologies, Inc. ("Granite"), a corporation formed by the former
management of the division. Granite issued to the Company its $500,000
promissory note and an equity interest in Granite equal to 20% at the time of
transaction. Granite also agreed to pay certain royalties to the Company. The
note was subject to cancellation if the other party to the joint venture elected
to purchase the Company's interest. As the Company has virtually no influence
over the financing and operating policies of Granite, the interest in Granite is
accounted for using the cost method. During 2000, the Company's 20% interest in
Granite was diluted to 13% as a result of additional equity issued by Granite to
third parties.

During 2001, Granite was purchased by The Finx Group, Inc. ("Finx") and the
Company received 496,124 restricted shares of Finx for its 13% interest in
Granite. The Finx shares are traded in the OTC Bulletin Board. During 2001, the
Company advanced Granite $39,490 for working capital purposes. In December 2001,
Finx repaid the advance with 79,661 shares of its common stock. At December 31,
2001, the Company valued its aggregate holding in Finx, consisting of 575,785
shares at $69,490. The Finx shares are included in other assets.

In October 1998, the other party to the joint venture exercised its right to
purchase the Company's interest in the joint venture for a $500,000 note. The
Company has been paid in full from installment payments on this note over a
period ranging from November 1998 through December 2000. The Company recognized
gain on the sale of discontinued operations as it continually revalued this note
throughout the payment period.

[7] Bank Financing

Bank Financing - In June 2001, the Company entered into a financing agreement
with a bank. This improved credit facility and medium term financing replaces
the Company's asset based borrowing facility. The new financing provides the
Company with a five-year term loan of $2.5 million and a two year $1.5 million
revolving line of credit. The term loan is paid in equal monthly installments
during the term of the loan plus interest. Proceeds from the term loan are
available for acquisitions and to upgrade certain software systems to meet
requirements in California. Funds drawn down from the revolving line of credit
are to be used for working capital purposes. The term loan bears interest at the
Company's option, to be equal to either (i) LIBOR plus 2.5% or (ii) the Prime
Rate. The revolving line of credit will bear interest, at the Company's option,
to be equal to either (i) LIBOR plus 2.0% or (ii) the Prime Rate, and incurr and
annual facility fee of 0.5%. On July 12, 2001, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement on the term loan at 7.95% for five years. The
financing agreement contains certain covenants including limitations on the
Company's ability to incur liens, enter into change of control transactions,
maintain a minimum net worth at $9,000,000 and requires the maintenance of
certain financial ratios. The interest rate on the previous facility was prime
plus 2%. As of December 31, 2001, the Company owes $2,250,000 on the term loan,
of which $500,000 is classified as a current liability and $1,750,000 is
classified as a long term liability. The Company has not utilized any borrowing
availability on the $1.5 million revolving line of credit. The borrowing is
collateralized by a first priority security interest and lien on all the assets
of the Company.


[8] Income Taxes

The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach to determine the extent of
any deferred income taxes, as described in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences
associated with differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities.

At December 31, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $11,000,000 expiring by 2020. Pursuant to Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership,
utilization of approximately $6,500,000 of this net operating loss carryforward
is limited to approximately $1,360,000 per year, plus any prior years' amounts
not utilized.  In addition, the tax benefit of approximately $1,800,000 of net
operating losses generated in 2000 on exercise of non-qualified compensatory
stock options and warrants will be credited to paid-in-capital as utilized.

The Company's provision for taxes for the year ended December 31, 2000 includes

the Company issued a non-qualified stock option to purchase 75,000 shares of
stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share.

Warrants Issued as Compensation - In December 1999, the Company's $6 and $12
Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants totaling 287,500 and 448,544,
respectively, were extended to February 29, 2000. These warrants had a previous
expiration date of December 31, 1999. The Company recognized a financing cost of
$81,000 with respect to this extension in 1999. In February 2000, these warrants
were further extended to April 30, 2000 and the Company recognized additional
financing costs of $125,000 in 2000. At the end of April 2000, 192,105 of the $6
warrants were exercised and 95,395 expired. During the course of the year the
448,544 $12 warrants were extended to January 31, 2002. In January 2002, the
448,544 $12 warrants were further extended to July 31, 2002. There was no
financing costs associated with the warrant extensions in 2001 and 2002 because
of the variance between the $12 exercisable price and the current market value
of the Company's stock at the date of exercise.

In October 2001, the Company issued warrants to purchase 40,000 shares in
connection with a public and investor relations agreement whereby the Company
will pay a monthly fee in addition to the issuance of the warrants. The warrants
have an exercise price of $2.50 for the first 5,000 shares; $3.00 for the next
5,000 shares; $3.50 for 15,000 shares and $4.00 for the final 15,000 shares.
These warrants were valued at an average price of $.14 per warrant based upon
the Black-Scholes calculation, which had an interest rate of 5.5% and a
volatility rate of .6. These warrants will expire on October 28, 2002.

[15] Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in an arbitration proceeding commenced in March 2001
seeking damages of $635,000 for an alleged breach of a staff augmentation
services agreement. The Company believes that it has valid legal defenses to
such action.

In October 2000, the Company's subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics, commenced an
action against the City of Richmond, in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, County of Suffolk, which action was subsequently removed to the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, for failure to pay
more than $1 million pursuant a contract we have with Richmond. Richmond advised
the court that it intended to move to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal
jurisdiction in New York and improper venue. The parties are currently engaged
in discovery on jurisdictional issues. In November 2000, Richmond filed a
complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia,
alleging, among other things, that the contract with Creative Socio-Medics was
procured through fraudulent misrepresentations concerning the nature of the work
to be performed and the price for the services and that Creative Socio-Medics
failed to perform its obligations under the agreement, seeking damages of
$373,000 and a finding that it owes no additional amounts to Creative
Socio-Medics. The parties entered into a stipulation staying the Richmond action
until a determination of Richmond's jurisdictional challenges to the New York
action. We believe that we have valid claims against Richmond and we intend to
vigorously pursue those claims. We also believe that the allegations contained
in Richmond's complaint are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend
against those claims.
