PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read the following summary with the more detailed information
about us, including the information set forth under the heading "Risk Factors"
and our financial statements with their accompanying notes that are included in
this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this
prospectus.

Concord EFS, Inc.

Concord EFS, Inc. is a leading, vertically integrated electronic transaction
processor. We acquire, route, authorize, capture and settle virtually all types
of electronic payment and deposit access transactions for financial
institutions and merchants nationwide. Our primary activities consist of
Network Services, which provides automated teller machine (ATM) processing,
debit card processing, deposit risk management and coast-to-coast debit network
access principally for financial institutions, and Payment Services, which
provides payment processing for supermarkets, major retailers, petroleum
dealers, convenience stores, trucking companies and independent retailers. In
2000, we processed approximately 8.0 billion transactions. We are ranked as a
market leader in several important categories, including:

in our Network Services business:

. #1 in the number of ATMs driven--we drive 16% of all ATMs in the United
States,

. #1 in the number of ATMs carrying a specific regional debit network
brand--more than 50% of the ATMs in the United States carry our STARsm,
MAC(R) or Cash Station(R) brand, and

. #1 in the number of personal identification number (PIN)-secured debit
payment transactions processed through a debit network--we process 50% of
all PIN-secured debit payment transactions through our combined debit
network, and

in our Payment Services business:

. #1 in the number of PIN-secured debit payment transactions acquired by a
payment processor--we acquire 20% of all PIN-secured debit payment
transactions,

. #4 in the total number of credit, debit and electronic benefits transfer
(EBT) card payment transactions processed--we process 9% of all credit,
debit and EBT card payment transactions, and

. #4 in the total dollar volume of credit and signature debit card payment
transactions processed--we process 6% of all dollar volume for credit and
signature debit card payments.

We have attained our leadership position as a result of being one of the few
fully integrated electronic transaction solutions providers and by focusing on
selected industries moving rapidly to cashless commerce. Our portfolio of
debit, credit, EBT, check and ATM services allows us to offer virtually any
electronic payment or deposit access product needed by merchants and financial
institutions. We believe that our strong internal growth rates and high rate of
recurring revenues reflect our ability to satisfy and retain our existing
customers and to acquire new customers.

In 2000, our revenue was $1,407.1 million and our operating income was
$293.5 million. Between 1996 and 2000, our operating income grew at a compound
annual rate of 38.4%. Over this same period, our operating margin expanded from
18.3% to 20.9%.

In 2000, we provided transaction services, including data capture,
authorization and settlement services, for over 300,000 merchant locations. We
own and operate the STAR debit network, which is comprised of the STAR, MAC and
Cash Station debit networks, and we provide processing services for
approximately 48,000 ATMs nationwide, of which we own approximately 700.

Investment Highlights

We believe that the following factors are important in order to understand
the growth potential of our business:

Industry Factors

Key U.S. industry trends include:

. PIN-secured debit transactions at the point of sale are estimated to have
grown at a compound annual rate of 36% between 1995 and 2000 (as
projected for 2000) to a total of 3.6 billion transactions.

. The percentage of total payment transactions in which cash or checks were
used as the method of payment decreased from 77% in 1995 to 72% in 1999
and is expected to further decrease to 61% by 2005.

. ATM transaction volume is estimated to have grown at a compound annual
rate of 6% between 1995 and 2000 (as projected for 2000) to a total of
13.2 billion transactions.

. The number of regional debit networks is estimated to have fallen from
approximately 100 in 1989 to approximately 35 in 2001 (as projected for
2001).

. Consumer expenditures on credit cards are estimated to have increased to
$1,274 billion in 2000 (as projected for 2000) from $744 billion in 1995,
representing a compound annual growth rate of 11%.

. Consumers between the ages of 21 and 44 are the greatest users of ATMs
and PIN-secured debit for payment, with greatest usage among consumers
age 25 to 34, according to a 1999 study performed by The Applied
Management & Planning Group on behalf of Star Systems, Inc. (STAR).

Company Factors

. We are focused on select markets that are switching rapidly to electronic
transaction processing. We believe, therefore, that our transaction
volume will grow more rapidly than the overall market.

. We are a fully integrated company providing end-to-end payment services.
We believe this gives us a competitive advantage, because it allows our
customers to acquire from us a full set of payment services required to
process transactions and allows us to price our services competitively.

. On February 1, 2001, we acquired STAR, the nation's largest PIN-secured
debit network, which owns and operates the STAR debit network and
processes ATM and point of sale (POS) transactions on behalf of financial
institutions and merchants, and on August 21, 2000, we completed our
acquisition of Cash Station, Inc., a leading Midwest PIN-secured debit
network based in Chicago, Illinois. Following these acquisitions, our
combined debit network, which is comprised of our STAR, MAC and Cash
Station networks, now has approximately 6,200 financial institution
members with approximately 124 million cards. Consumers carrying these
cards have access to their deposit accounts at approximately 180,000 ATMs
and an estimated 800,000 branded POS locations coast-to-coast.

. Our national network of cards and terminals provides the critical mass
necessary to bring new products to the financial services industry,
including person-to-person payments, check electronification and secure
debit payments on the Internet.

. We strive to maintain a highly-efficient operating structure, including
an emphasis on low overhead and cost control efforts. Our ownership of a
national bank also allows us to reduce payments to outside vendors.

Operating Strategy

Our operating strategy is to:

. focus on markets which are switching rapidly to electronic payment cards,

. utilize a multi-faceted sales approach to target selected vertical
markets,

. provide a fully integrated range of services,

. cross-sell our services to existing clients,

. leverage our PIN-secured debit infrastructure,

. develop new products and services to meet market needs,

. maintain a highly-efficient operating structure, and

. seek selective acquisitions.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are
various risks, including those described below, that could have a material
adverse effect on our business, including our operating results and financial
condition. The risk factors listed in this section, as well as any cautionary
language in this prospectus, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and
events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the
expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should
carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other
information included in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase
shares of our common stock.

If we fail to successfully execute our corporate consolidation plan, our
operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

In the first quarter of 2001, we initiated a company-wide consolidation plan
to integrate our recent acquisitions, including STAR. The plan is intended,
among other things, to eliminate operational redundancies and functionally
integrate the STAR organization into Concord. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to combine our operations without encountering difficulties or
experiencing the loss of key employees or customers or that the expected
benefits from such combination will be realized. If we are unsuccessful in
executing our consolidation plan, our operating results and financial condition
could be adversely affected.

If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract additional qualified
personnel as we grow, our business could be adversely affected.

We are dependent upon the ability and experience of a number of our key
management personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, the
rapidly changing electronic payment processing industry and the selected
markets in which we offer our services. It is possible that the loss of the
services of one or a combination of our senior executives or key managers would
have an adverse effect on our operations. Our success also depends on our
ability to continue to attract, manage and retain other qualified middle
management and technical and clerical personnel as we grow. We cannot assure
you that we will continue to attract or retain such personnel.

Loss of key customers could reduce our revenue and net income.

As a result of our competitive business environment, we experience some
customer attrition. Customer attrition is due to several factors, including
losses to competitors, business acquisitions and mergers and business closures.
We cannot assure you that any of our contracts for credit and debit card, ATM
processing and/or debit network access services will be renewed or, if renewed,
will be renewed on terms as favorable to us as at present. If they are not
renewed, we may not be able to reduce our costs in proportion to the lost
revenue, because many of our costs are fixed. Increased attrition could
therefore have an adverse effect on our revenue and net income.

We face significant competition in each of our lines of business.

The businesses of electronic payment processing and settlement, ATM
processing, debit card processing and debit network access services are all
highly competitive. The level of competition has increased in recent years, and
other service providers have established a sizable market share in some of the
service areas in which we compete. In addition, competitors to our network,
which consist of other national and regional debit networks, continue to
consolidate as large banks merge and combine their debit networks and as shared
debit networks continue to combine into larger, super-regional conglomerates.
The continued expansion of the national debit networks operated by VISA and
MasterCard also places increasing competitive pressure on other networks as
banks seek to consolidate their network affiliations. Several of our
competitors and potential competitors have greater capital and technological,
management and marketing resources than we have, and we cannot assure you that
we will continue to be able to compete successfully with such entities. In
addition, the competitive pricing pressures that would result from any increase
in competition could adversely affect our margins and may have an adverse
effect on our operating results and financial condition. See "Business--
Competition."

Current or future card association rules and practices could adversely affect
our business.

EFS National Bank is a member of the VISA and MasterCard organizations and
is a registered processor of Discover, American Express and Diners Club
transactions. We compete directly with VISA and MasterCard in the provision of
transaction processing services. Further, the rules of the credit card
associations are set by member banks or, in the case of Discover, American
Express and Diners Club, by the card issuers, and some of those banks and
issuers are our competitors with respect to these services. With respect to our
EBT business, the governmental issuers of the benefits set the rules governing
such transactions, and the financial institutions or processors hired by the
government administer them. We cannot assure you that the credit card
associations will maintain our registrations or that the current card
association or EBT rules allowing us to market and provide transaction
processing services will remain in effect. The termination of our member
registration or our status as a certified processor, or any changes in card
association or EBT rules that limit our ability to provide transaction
processing and marketing services, could have an adverse effect on our
transaction volumes and revenue or operating costs. In addition, if we were
precluded from processing any of these card association transactions, there can
be no assurance that our processing clients would continue to use us to process
transactions in other networks.

In addition, our STAR network, as a result of the combination of the STAR,
MAC and Cash Station networks, is the first regional debit network that may
potentially be viewed as achieving national status in terms of size and
geographic coverage. Current VISA and MasterCard rules prohibit their members
from issuing the debit cards or credit cards of any competing national network,
with the exception of each other. These rules also prohibit the coexistence of
competing national marks on their credit and branded debit cards. If VISA or
MasterCard were to determine that STAR is a competing national network and
mark, they could attempt to prohibit their members from issuing STAR-branded
cards and/or prohibit the coexistence of the STAR mark with the VISA and/or
MasterCard marks on debit and credit cards. If this occurred, we cannot predict
whether, when forced to choose between us and other brands, issuing banks would
favor us over VISA or MasterCard. Further, we could lose access to the VISA or
MasterCard network and cardholders, which could adversely affect our ATM
transactions, PIN-secured and signature debit transactions, credit card
transactions and prospects for future growth.

In addition, VISA's combined PIN-based and signature debit product called
VISA Check Card II could adversely impact our Network Services business if a
significant number of financial institutions issue the product or if VISA
reinstitutes its original rule prohibiting the placement of competing debit
marks on the product.

We must remain current with rapid technological change.

Our ability to provide services is heavily dependent upon our use of and
access to computing and telecommunications technology. The transaction payment
processing business has been characterized by rapid technological change. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to incorporate new
developments in payment processing technology or that the costs involved in
doing so will not be substantial.

Acquisitions involve risks that could cause our actual growth to differ from
our expectations.

We expect to continue to seek selective acquisitions as an element of our
growth strategy. It is possible that recent or future acquisitions could have
an adverse effect upon our operating results, particularly in the fiscal
quarters immediately following the completion of such transactions while the
operations of the acquired entities are being integrated into our operations.
For example, we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses
in a timely manner. We may also incur substantial costs, delays or other
operational or financial problems during the integration process. In addition,
we could incur additional indebtedness to finance acquisitions.

If additional state taxes are imposed on us, our operating results and
financial condition could be adversely affected.

Transaction processing companies like us may be subject to state taxation of
certain portions of their fees charged to customers for their services.
Application of this tax is an ongoing issue in the industry, and the

states have not yet adopted uniform guidelines implementing these regulations.
If we are required to pay these taxes and are unable to pass this tax expense
through to our customers, our operating results and financial condition could
be adversely affected.

Continued consolidation in the banking and retail industries could adversely
affect our growth.

. Our Network Services business could be adversely affected. As banks
consolidate, our ability to successfully offer our Network Services will
depend in part on whether the institutions that survive those
consolidations are willing to outsource their ATM and debit processing to
third-party vendors like us and whether those institutions have pre-
existing relationships with any of our competitors. Larger institutions
with more geographically dispersed customer bases may wish to consolidate
their network participation with fewer networks having the broadest
geographic coverage and the best service offerings. As regional networks
continue to consolidate, we may lose network business if we are unable to
continue to offer a range of products that is competitive in terms of
geographic distribution as well as quality and breadth of service. Larger
banks that continue to participate in our network may also process
proportionately fewer ATM transactions through our network as more
transactions can be handled within the bank's own internal systems.

. Our Payment Services business could lose customers and fee revenue could
decrease. Continued consolidation in the retail industry, which makes up
a substantial portion of our customer base for Payment Services, could
impede our ability to grow as the survivors of such consolidation may
have relationships with competitors or may be more interested in pursuing
internal processing options due to their increased scale. Larger
merchants with larger transaction volumes may also demand lower fees
which could result in lower operating margins for us.

We are subject to the business cycles and credit risk of our merchant
customers.

A recessionary economic environment could have a negative impact on our
customers, particularly smaller merchants and trucking companies, which could,
in turn, negatively impact our financial results. If our customers make fewer
sales of their products and services, we will have fewer transactions to
process, resulting in lower revenue.

In addition, in a recessionary environment our merchant customers could
experience a higher rate of bankruptcy filings which could adversely affect us
financially. We bear credit risk for billing disputes between credit card
holders and bankrupt merchants. In the event a billing dispute between a credit
card holder and a merchant is not resolved in favor of the merchant, the
transaction is normally charged back to the merchant, and the purchase price is
refunded to the cardholder. However, if that merchant files for bankruptcy or
is otherwise unable or unwilling to pay, we must bear the credit risk for the
full transaction amount of these chargebacks. Billing disputes would include
instances where a customer ordered goods or services on credit, but those goods
and services are not delivered by the defunct merchant. We cannot assure you
that chargebacks will not increase in the future. Increases in chargebacks that
are not paid by merchants could have an adverse effect on our operating results
and financial condition.

The outcome of litigation involving VISA and MasterCard could have a negative
impact on our business.

VISA and MasterCard have been sued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for
alleged violation of the Federal antitrust laws arising out of their respective
functionally identical policies of (1) allowing members in the respective
organization to issue cards participating in the other organization's system
and (2) prohibiting their members from issuing cards in competing systems other
than VISA, MasterCard or Citigroup, the largest owner/member of VISA and
MasterCard. The potential impact of this litigation on us depends upon whether
or not the DOJ is successful, and if it is successful, the relief ordered by
the court. We do not currently issue cards in either system and have not been
deemed to operate a competing system by either VISA or MasterCard. If VISA and
MasterCard are permitted to prohibit members from issuing cards in competing
systems, however, there could be a significant negative impact on us if VISA or
MasterCard were then to deem the STAR debit network to be a competing system
for these purposes.

VISA and MasterCard also have been sued in a class action case brought by
merchants who allege that VISA and MasterCard have (1) unlawfully tied merchant
acceptance of VISA and MasterCard signature debit cards to merchant acceptance
of VISA and MasterCard credit cards and (2) attempted and conspired to
monopolize the market for debit cards, a market in which we compete against
VISA and MasterCard. The potential impact of this litigation on us depends upon
whether or not the plaintiffs are successful and, if they are successful, the
relief ordered by the court or, if they are not successful, the business
practices adopted by VISA and MasterCard as a result.

Utility and system interruptions or processing errors could adversely affect
our operations.

In order to promptly process transactions, our computer equipment and
network servers must be functional on a 24-hour basis, which requires access to
telecommunications facilities and the availability of electricity. Further,
with respect to certain processing services for the STAR debit network, we are
dependent on the systems and services of a third party vendor.
Telecommunications services and the electricity supply are susceptible to
disruption. Computer system interruptions and other processing errors, whether
involving our own systems or our third party vendor's system, may result from
such disruptions or from human error or other unrelated causes. Any extensive
or long-term disruptions in our processing services could cause us to incur
substantial additional expense, which could have an adverse effect on our
operations and financial condition.

We may be susceptible to fraud occurring at the merchant level.

Merchant fraud includes recording false sales transactions or false credits
by the merchant or its customers. Under some circumstances we bear the risk of
incidents of merchant fraud. It is possible that incidents of merchant fraud
could increase in the future. Increased incidents of merchant fraud could have
an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Changes in card association fees, products or practices could increase our
costs or otherwise limit our operations.

From time to time, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Diners
Club increase the organization and/or processing fees (known as interchange
fees) that they charge. For example, in April 1999 VISA and MasterCard
increased their fees by up to 10%. It is possible that competitive pressures
will result in our absorbing a portion of such increases in the future, which
would increase our operating costs and reduce our profit margin. Furthermore,
the rules and regulations of the various card associations and networks
prescribe certain capital requirements. Any increase in the capital level
required would further limit our use of capital.

Revenue growth in ATM processing could slow because of restrictions on
surcharging.

Revenue from "convenience fees" or "surcharges" imposed by owners of ATMs,
including Concord, has been a significant factor in the recent growth in our
ATM processing business, since such fees have encouraged ATM owners to deploy
additional terminals. There have been initiatives at the federal, state and
local levels to limit surcharges. To the extent that ATM deployment does not
continue to grow at recent rates due to the enactment and successful
enforcement of statutory restrictions on surcharges, the availability of fewer
favorable retail ATM locations or other factors, demand for our ATM processing
services may not continue to grow at recent rates or may decline.

Rules and regulations governing financial institutions and changes to those
rules and regulations could limit our business.

We are a financial holding company and a bank holding company subject to
regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to
regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal
Reserve). Our two bank subsidiaries are subject to additional regulation. EFS
National Bank is a national banking association established under the National
Bank Act and is subject to regulation by

the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as well as the Federal Reserve.
EFS Federal Savings Bank operates under the Home Owners' Loan Act and the rules
of the Office of Thrift Supervision, which has primary regulatory and
supervisory jurisdiction over it. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insures the domestic deposits of both banks under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act. The restrictions imposed by these and other laws governing the activities
of national banks, federal savings banks and their holding companies and
related regulations and restrictions imposed by regulatory agencies limit our
discretion and the discretion of EFS National Bank, EFS Federal Savings Bank
and their affiliates in operating their businesses. These limitations include:

. restrictions on engaging in activities that are not approved by the
Federal Reserve as financial in nature or incidental or complementary to
a financial activity,

. restrictions on mergers and acquisitions involving companies engaged in
activities other than those approved by the Federal Reserve as financial
in nature or incidental or complementary to a financial activity,

. narrower constraints on activities, mergers and acquisitions if EFS
National Bank or EFS Federal Savings Bank do not remain well capitalized
and well managed or do not maintain "satisfactory" ratings under the
Community Reinvestment Act,

. minimum capital requirements at both the holding company and bank levels,

. restrictions on dividends by banking entities,

. restrictions on intercompany transactions, and

. restrictions on tie-ins involving the products or services of EFS
National Bank or EFS Federal Savings Bank.

Material changes in applicable federal or state regulation of financial
institutions could increase our operating costs, change the competitive
environment or otherwise adversely affect us. We cannot assure you that these
laws and regulations will not be amended or interpreted differently by
regulatory authorities, or that new laws and regulations will not be adopted,
which could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and prospects.

In addition, we are subject to the financial privacy provisions of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the GLB Act). As a result, certain consumer financial
information that we receive may be subject to limitations on reuse and
redisclosure under the GLB Act. Additionally, pending legislation at the state
and federal levels may further restrict our information gathering and
disclosure practices. Existing and potential future privacy laws may limit our
ability to develop new products and services that make use of certain data
gathered through our Network Services and Payment Services businesses.

Shares eligible for future sale could adversely affect the market price of our
common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public
market following this offering could adversely affect the prevailing market
price of the common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional
equity capital in the future. Upon completion of this offering, we will have
244,416,094 shares of common stock outstanding (based on outstanding shares as
of May 25, 2001, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment
option and excluding 25,452,004 shares issuable upon exercise of options
outstanding as of May 25, 2001). Of these shares, 225,052,837 shares (assuming
the selling stockholders sell all of their 17,031,849 shares offered in this
offering) will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) unless purchased by an
"affiliate" of ours, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, which sales will be subject to the volume limitations and other
restrictions set forth in Rule 144.

Of the remaining shares,

. 6,225,000 shares held by the two former stockholders of Card Payment
Services are eligible for sale to the public, subject to compliance with
the volume limitations and other conditions of Rule 144, and

. 5,328,615 shares held by our directors and executive officers will be
eligible for sale in the public market after the applicable lock-up
period, subject to compliance with the volume limitations and other
conditions of Rule 144.

Furthermore, an additional 30,119,469 shares that may be issued in the
future upon exercise of options granted and to be granted under our stock
option plans have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will
be freely tradable when issued (subject to the volume limitations and other
conditions of Rule 144, in the case of shares to be sold by our affiliates). Of
these options, 10,379,150 shares are covered by the lock-up period for
directors and officers referred to above. Finally, certain former STAR
stockholders and former Card Payment Services stockholders will have certain
rights to demand registration of the shares owned by them and will have the
right, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, to participate in
future registered sales of our stock. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." In
addition, each of the selling stockholders has agreed not to sell or distribute
any shares of our common stock except under this offering within seven days
prior to, or 90 days beginning on, the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Underwriting."

The price of our common stock could be volatile.

In recent years, there has been and may continue to be significant
volatility in the market price for our common stock. See "Price Range of Common
Stock." Factors such as changes in quarterly operating results, the gain or
loss of significant contracts, the entry of new competitors into our markets,
changes in management, announcements of technological innovations or new
products by us or our competitors and general events and circumstances beyond
our control could have a significant impact on the future market price of our
common stock and the relative volatility of such market price. In the past,
following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities,
securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that
company. If similar litigation were instituted against us, it could result in
substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources,
which could have an adverse effect on our business.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated
financial statements and the notes to those financial statements, which are
included in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus,
particularly in "Risk Factors." In addition to the other information in this
prospectus, you should carefully consider the following discussion and the
information set forth under "Risk Factors" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements" in evaluating us and our business before purchasing our
common stock in this offering.

Overview

Concord EFS, Inc. is a leading, vertically integrated electronic transaction
processor. We acquire, route, authorize, capture and settle virtually all types
of electronic payment and deposit access transactions for financial
institutions and merchants nationwide. Our primary activities consist of
Payment Services, which provides payment processing for supermarkets, major
retailers, petroleum dealers, convenience stores, trucking companies and
independent retailers, and Network Services, which provides ATM processing,
debit card processing, deposit risk management and coast-to-coast debit network
access principally for financial institutions.

We recently expanded our debit network in our Network Services area through
two acquisitions. On February 1, 2001, we completed our acquisition of STAR,
the nation's largest PIN-secured debit network, based in Maitland, Florida. The
merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests transaction in which we
exchanged approximately 24.0 million shares of our common stock for all of
STAR's outstanding common stock. On August 21, 2000, we completed our
acquisition of Cash Station, a leading Midwest PIN-secured debit network based
in Chicago, Illinois. This acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of
interests transaction in which we exchanged approximately 2.5 million shares of
our stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Cash Station.

Early in 2000 we completed two acquisitions in the Payment Services area. On
February 7, 2000, we completed our acquisition of Virtual Cyber Systems, Inc.,
an Internet software development company. This acquisition, for which we paid
approximately $2 million, was accounted for as a purchase transaction and was
immaterial to our financial statements. On January 31, 2000, we completed our
acquisition of National Payment Services Inc. d/b/a Card Payment Systems, a New
York-based reseller of payment processing services. Card Payment Systems
provides card-based payment processing services to independent sales
organizations, which in turn sell those services to merchants. The acquisition
was accounted for as a pooling of interests transaction in which we exchanged
6.2 million shares of our stock for all the outstanding shares of Card Payment
Systems' common stock. We incurred acquisition costs of $0.8 million related to
this transaction during the first quarter of 2000.

In the first quarter of 2001, we initiated a company-wide consolidation plan
in order to address areas of operating redundancies created by our recent
acquisitions. The plan includes consolidation of data centers and other
facilities to eliminate redundancies, the reassignment or termination of
certain employees timed to coincide with the integration of redundant
processing platforms and the functional integration of the STAR organization
into Concord. During the next 12 months we intend to take steps to capture
synergies within our network operations and align our resources across the
enterprise for greater efficiency and improved service delivery. During the
first quarter of 2001, we incurred a charge of $86.4 million, net of taxes,
related to our consolidation plan, including costs incurred in combining
operating platforms and facilities, communications conversion costs, asset
write-offs, severance and compensation costs, as well as investment banking
fees and advisory, legal and accounting fees incurred in the acquisition of
STAR.

As a result of our acquisition of STAR, we acquired a majority interest in
Primary Payment Systems, Inc., a company providing deposit risk management
services to merchants and financial institutions. We own an 85% interest in
Primary Payment Systems, with the remainder owned by certain financial
institutions and a credit

union service provider. Primary Payment Systems' deposit risk management
services provide advance notification of potential losses associated with
fraudulent checks or high risk accounts utilizing a national database currently
composed of 147 million deposit accounts. This majority-owned subsidiary
recently expanded its operations in the deposit risk management area through
its acquisition of Wally Industries, Inc., d/b/a WJM Technologies. WJM's front-
end tools which screen new deposit accounts before they are opened increase the
breadth of Primary Payment Systems' deposit risk management services. Primary
Payment Systems anticipates that the addition of WJM will enable it to develop
more powerful fraud filters that can be extended to other markets, as well as
provide additional cross-selling opportunities and augment customer retention.

The following discussion reflects the business combinations of Concord with
Digital Merchant Systems of Illinois and American Bankcard International on
June 30, 1998, Electronic Payment Services on February 26, 1999, Card Payment
Systems on January 31, 2000, Cash Station on August 21, 2000 and STAR on
February 1, 2001, each of which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. As
a result, the growth in revenue discussed below reflects internal rates of
growth, since each acquired company is treated as a part of Concord for all
periods indicated.

Components of Revenue and Expenses

Payment Services and Network Services are our two reportable business
segments. These business units are managed separately because they offer
distinct products for different end users. All of our revenue is generated in
the United States, and no single customer of Concord accounts for a material
portion of our revenue. Over 75% of our total revenue is tied to contracts with
terms of between three and five years.

The majority of our revenue (60.7% in the first quarter of 2001, 62.8% in
2000 and 60.9% in 1999) is generated from fee income related to Payment
Services. Revenue from Payment Services primarily includes discount fees
charged to merchants, which are a percentage of the dollar amount of each
credit card transaction we process, as well as a flat fee per transaction. The
discount fee is negotiated with each merchant and typically constitutes a
bundled rate for the transaction authorization, processing, settlement and
funds transfer services we provide. The balance of Payment Services revenue is
derived from transaction fees for processing debit card and EBT card
transactions, check verification and authorization services and sales of POS
terminals. We recognize this revenue at the time of the transaction.

The other principal component of our revenue derives from Network Services
(39.3% in the first quarter of 2001, 37.2% in 2000 and 39.1% in 1999). Network
Services revenue consists of processing fees for driving and monitoring ATMs,
processing fees for managing debit card records and access and switching fees
for network access. We recognize this revenue at the time of the transaction.

The following table is a listing of revenue by segment for the periods
indicated:

Cost of operations includes all costs directly attributable to our providing
services to our customers. The most significant component of cost of operations
is interchange and assessment fees, which are amounts charged by the credit and
debit card networks. Interchange and assessment fees are billed primarily as a
percentage of dollar volume processed and, to a lesser extent, as a transaction
fee. Cost of operations also

includes telecommunications costs, personnel costs, occupancy costs,
depreciation, the cost of equipment leased and sold, the cost of operating our
debit network and other miscellaneous merchant supplies and services expenses.
We strive to maintain a highly efficient operational structure, which includes
efficient marketing, volume purchasing arrangements with equipment and
communications vendors and direct membership by our subsidiary, EFS National
Bank, in bank card associations and major debit card networks.

First Quarter 2001 Compared to First Quarter 2000

Revenue increased 24.0% to $375.6 million in 2001 from $302.9 million in
2000. In 2001, Payment Services accounted for 60.7% of revenue, and Network
Services accounted for 39.3%. Revenue from Payment Services increased 19.7%,
due primarily to increased transaction volumes. The increased volumes resulted
from the addition of new merchants and the widening acceptance of debit and EBT
card transactions at new and existing merchants. Network Services revenue
increased 31.3% over 2000 as a result of an increase in the number of ATMs
driven, the addition of new network and processing customers and increases in
transaction volumes. The increased transaction volumes resulted primarily from
increased use of our network debit cards for payment at the point of sale.

Cost of operations decreased in 2001 to 71.9% of revenue compared to 73.5%
in 2000. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease, as a percent of
revenue, in certain operating costs, such as telecommunications, payroll
expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, as a percent of
revenue, to 6.3% in 2001 from 7.2% in 2000. Overall, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $23.8 million from $21.8 million in the
first quarter of 2000.

Acquisition expenses and restructuring charges increased to $125.4 million
in 2001 from $0.8 million in 2000. In the first quarter of 2001, we initiated a
company-wide consolidation plan in order to address areas of operating
redundancies created by our recent acquisitions. The plan includes
consolidation of data centers and other facilities to eliminate redundancies,
the reassignment or termination of certain employees timed to coincide with the
integration of redundant processing platforms and the functional integration of
the STAR organization into Concord. During the next 12 months we intend to take
steps to capture synergies within our network operations and align our
resources across the enterprise for greater efficiency and improved service
delivery. During the first quarter of 2001, we incurred a charge of $86.4
million, net of taxes, related to our consolidation plan, including costs
incurred in combining operating platforms and facilities, communications
conversion costs, asset write-offs, severance and compensation costs, as well
as investment banking fees and advisory, legal and accounting fees incurred in
the acquisition of STAR.

We accrued charges of $63.9 million for combining various STAR processing
platforms and facilities that will be closed and consolidated. We also accrued
$16.0 million for duplicate products and systems such as abandoned products and
internal systems that do not support our new network strategy. Various data
center services contracts were terminated as part of the overall restructuring,
for which we accrued $19.1 million. The consolidation of products, services,
processing platforms and facilities created personnel duplications. As a
result, we accrued compensation and severance packages of $9.8 million to
diminish redundancies and consolidate operational groups. In addition to these
charges we also incurred legal, accounting and advisory fees totaling $15.6
million in connection with the STAR merger.

Excluding acquisition and restructuring charges, operating income as a
percent of revenue increased to 21.7% in 2001 from 19.3% in 2000. This increase
resulted from improved economies of scale and declining selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Net interest income improved as a percent of revenue to 3.3% in 2001
compared to 2.5% in 2000. The improvement was the result of returns we received
on our investing available cash from operations, which increased interest
income by 56.5% over 2000.

Our overall tax rate decreased to (17.9%) for the three months ended March
31, 2001 compared to 36.2% for the same period in 2000. Excluding acquisition
and restructuring charges, the tax rate was 35.5% in 2001 compared to 35.9% for
the same period in 2000.

Net income, as a percent of revenue, decreased to (6.9%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 from 13.7% for the same period in 2000. The primary
factor in this net margin decrease was the acquisition and restructuring
charges. Excluding these charges and related tax items, net income, as a
percent of revenue, increased to 16.1% for the three months ended March 31,
2001 compared to 13.9% for the same period in 2000.

Calendar 2000 Compared to Calendar 1999

Revenue increased 32.7% to $1,407.1 million in 2000 from $1,060.0 million in
1999. In 2000, Payment Services accounted for 62.8% of revenue, and Network
Services accounted for 37.2%. Revenue from Payment Services increased 36.9%,
due primarily to increased transaction volumes and cross-selling settlement
processing to several of our higher volume merchants who were previously using
only acquirer processing services. The increased volumes resulted from the
addition of new merchants and the widening acceptance of debit and EBT card
transactions by new and existing merchants. Network Services revenue increased
26.2% over 1999 as a result of an increase in the number of ATMs driven, the
addition of new network and processing customers, increases in transaction
volumes and the full year impact of in-house processing of our signature debit
service. The increased transaction volumes resulted primarily from increased
use of our network debit cards for payment at the point of sale.

Cost of operations increased in 2000 to 71.8% of revenue compared to 69.4%
in 1999. This increase was due primarily to lower-margin revenue that was added
between the fourth quarter of 1999 and the third quarter of 2000. This lower-
margin revenue resulted principally from cross-selling settlement processing to
several of our higher volume merchants, who command lower transaction pricing.
Lower-margin revenue was also the result of additional interchange fees due to
this cross-selling and processing our signature debit service in-house. This
new, lower-margin revenue was partially offset by a decrease, as a percent of
revenue, in certain other operating costs, such as payroll expenses and
depreciation and amortization expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, as a percent of
revenue, to 6.4% in 2000 from 8.7% in 1999. Within selling, general and
administrative expenses, increases in salaries and wages were offset by lower
legal and other expenses.

Acquisition expenses and restructuring charges decreased to $11.7 million in
2000 from $36.2 million in 1999. The charges incurred in 2000 included $3.0
million in advisory, legal and accounting fees incurred in the acquisitions of
Card Payment Systems and Cash Station. An additional $4.2 million in
compensation and severance costs and $4.5 million in network deconversion costs
were incurred in the Cash Station acquisition.

Excluding acquisition and restructuring charges, operating income as a
percent of revenue declined slightly to 21.8% in 2000 from 21.9% in 1999, due
to lower-margin revenue. This lower-margin revenue, which resulted from lower
revenue per transaction and additional interchange fees, partially masked an
increase in operating income per transaction, which resulted from improved
economies of scale and declining selling, general and administrative expenses.

Excluding acquisition and restructuring charges, operating income per
transaction increased to $0.038 per transaction in 2000 from $0.035 per
transaction in 1999, an increase of 8.6% year over year. This growth in
operating income per transaction was the result of declines in our cost per
transaction outpacing declines in our revenue per transaction.

Net interest income improved as a percent of revenue to 2.6% in 2000
compared to 1.5% in 1999. This improvement was the continued result of our
using proceeds from our June 1999 stock offering to reduce our debt by $146.1
million at that time, which lowered interest expense by 17.2% as compared to
1999. The improvement was also the result of returns we received on our
investing available cash from operations plus the remaining $61.7 million of
the stock offering proceeds in various securities, which increased interest
income by 63.6% over 1999.

Our overall tax rate decreased to 36.3% in 2000 from 39.1% in 1999.
Excluding the acquisition charges and related tax component write-off, the tax
rate was 36.2% in 2000 compared to 36.7% in 1999.

Net income, as a percent of revenue, increased to 14.9% in 2000 from 12.2%
in 1999. The primary factor in this net margin improvement was the decrease in
acquisition and restructuring charges. Excluding these charges and related tax
items, net income, as a percent of revenue, increased to 15.5% in 2000 compared
to 14.8% in 1999.

Calendar 1999 Compared to Calendar 1998

Revenue increased 30.4% to $1,060.0 million in 1999 from $812.8 million in
1998. In 1999, Payment Services accounted for 60.9% of revenue, and Network
Services accounted for 39.1%. Revenue from Payment Services increased 34.8%,
due primarily to increased transaction volumes and cross-selling settlement
processing to several of our higher volume merchant clients. The increased
volumes resulted from the addition of new merchants and the widening acceptance
of debit and EBT card transactions at new and existing merchants. Network
Services revenue increased 24.1% over 1998 as a result of an increase in the
number of ATMs driven, the addition of new network and processing customers,
increases in transaction volumes and in-

house processing of our signature debit service. The increased transaction
volumes resulted primarily from increased use of our network debit cards for
payment at the point of sale.

Cost of operations increased in 1999 to 69.4% of revenue compared to 68.0%
in 1998. This increase was due primarily to the addition of lower-margin
revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999 from cross-selling settlement
processing to several of our higher volume merchants who command lower
transaction pricing. Lower-margin revenue was also the result of additional
interchange fees due to cross-selling and processing our signature debit
service in-house. This new, lower-margin revenue was largely offset by a
decrease, as a percent of revenue, in certain other operating costs, such as
payroll expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, as a percent of
revenue, to 8.7% in 1999 from 11.2% in 1998. Although these expenses were up on
an absolute basis as a result of increases in salaries and wages, they were
partially offset by lower legal and other expenses.

In 1999 we incurred acquisition and restructuring charges of $36.2 million
relating to our acquisition of Electronic Payment Services. Acquisition-related
expenses were $10.5 million, consisting primarily of investment banking fees,
as well as legal, accounting, registration and other fees and expenses. The
remaining $25.7 million was for restructuring charges as described below, in
millions:

Communications conversion costs..................................... $12.4
Asset write-offs.................................................... 8.2
Signature debit conversion to in-house.............................. 2.8
Severance and other expenses........................................ 2.3
-----
Total............................................................. $25.7
=====

In order to create a single communications infrastructure for our
transaction processing businesses, we adopted a plan to convert Electronic
Payment Services' communications network to Concord's and accrued $12.4 million
related to this conversion plan.

We incurred asset write-offs of $8.2 million. We de-emphasized certain
geographic areas of the MAC network, causing impairment to the related
intangible assets of approximately $2.8 million. In addition, after review of
certain Electronic Payment Services customer lists and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by the related intangible assets, we recognized
an impairment loss of approximately $3.6 million. The remainder of the write-
off was for assets that are no longer used or supported under revised marketing
and business plans.

Prior to its acquisition by Concord, Electronic Payment Services used a
third party for its signature debit processing services. During 1999 we adopted
a plan to take this process in-house, incurring additional restructuring
charges of $2.8 million.

Relating to our reallocation of resources in connection with the MAC network
described above, we charged approximately $0.2 million for Electronic Payment
Services employees who were terminated as the related facilities were closed.
We incurred an additional charge of $2.1 million for certain other Electronic
Payment Services employees who were terminated due to the reorganization of
management of the combined company.

Excluding acquisition and restructuring charges, operating income as a
percent of revenue increased to 21.9% in 1999 from 20.8% in 1998 due to
declines in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenue.

Operating income (excluding acquisition and restructuring charges) increased
on a per transaction basis to $0.035 per transaction in 1999 from $0.031 per
transaction in 1998, an improvement of 12.9% year over year. This growth in
operating income per transaction was the result of declines in our cost per
transaction outpacing declines in our revenue per transaction.

Net interest income increased as a percent of total revenue to 1.5% in 1999
compared to 0.3% in 1998. This improvement resulted primarily from two factors.
Interest income increased by 47.4% over 1998 due to returns received on our
investment in various securities of available cash flow from operations plus
approximately $61.7 million in proceeds from our June 1999 stock offering. We
also reduced our long-term and short-term debt by $146.1 million with proceeds
from the same offering, producing a 24.0% decrease in interest expense in 1999
compared to 1998.

Our overall tax rate increased to 39.1% in 1999 from 38.1% in 1998. This
increase resulted from certain nondeductible acquisition costs and a tax
component write-off of $1.3 million incurred for impaired state tax net
operating losses of Electronic Payment Services in 1999. Excluding the pre-tax
charges and the tax component write-off, our tax rate decreased to 36.7% in
1999 from 38.1% in 1998.

Net income, as a percent of revenue, decreased in 1999 to 12.2% from 13.1%
in 1998. The primary factors in this decrease in net margin were the
acquisition and restructuring charges related to the acquisition of Electronic
Payment Services and the tax rate increase in 1999. Excluding these charges and
related tax items, net income as a percent of revenue increased to 14.8% in
1999 compared to 13.1% in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have consistently generated significant cash resources from operating
activities. In 2000, 1999 and 1998 operating activities generated cash of
$333.5 million, $236.9 million and $193.8 million, respectively. Cash generated
from operating activities may vary due to fluctuations in accounts receivable
and accounts payable balances which are affected by increases in settlement
volume from one year to the next, as well as the timing of settlements.

We generally hold a significant amount of cash and securities because of the
equity requirements of the credit card associations, which are calculated on
settlement dollar volume, and because of the liquidity requirements associated
with conducting settlement operations and owning ATM machines. During fiscal
2000, 1999 and 1998 we invested approximately $171.5 million, $191.4 million
and $88.0 million, respectively, in securities, net of sales and maturities. We
also invested $87.1 million, $67.6 million and $70.7 million, respectively, in
capital expenditures, which were primarily for communications equipment, POS
terminals, new computer equipment and capitalized software. We expect capital
expenditures in the current year to be comparable to that of prior years.

In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we have
historically financed ourselves through issuances of equity, the exercise of
stock options and borrowings. We issued 10.1 million shares of common stock in
June 1999 and received proceeds of $207.8 million. Of those proceeds, we
invested $61.7 million in securities and reduced long-term and short-term debt
by $146.1 million.

Stock issued upon exercises of options under Concord's incentive stock
option plan provided $26.9 million of additional capital in 2000. As of May 25,
2001, there were approximately 25.5 million stock options outstanding,
approximately 46.6% of which were exercisable. Although we cannot estimate the
timing or amount of future cash flows from the exercise of stock options, we
expect this to continue to be a source of funds.

We have lines of credit with financial institutions totaling $55.0 million.
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, no amounts were outstanding on these lines of
credit. As of December 31, 2000, we had $99.0 million of notes payable
outstanding to, and $23.7 million in unused lines of credit with, the Federal
Home Loan Bank. In addition to these advances, notes payable of $14.3 million
were outstanding.

We hold securities with a market value of approximately $649.4 million that
are available for operating needs or as collateral to obtain additional short-
term financing, if needed. As of year-end, securities carried at approximately
$110.4 million were pledged as collateral for the Federal Home Loan Bank
advances.

Net loans made by our bank subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999
were $78.7 million and $30.9 million, respectively.

Since 1998, we have made several strategic acquisitions. Our February 2001
acquisition of the STAR network is an example of our practice of using our
stock to make these acquisitions. Any future acquisitions may involve the
issuance of our stock or payment of cash. If additional acquisitions are made,
we may incur acquisition costs and restructuring charges in connection with
combining operations as in the case of STAR, Cash Station and Electronic
Payment Services.

We believe that our available credit and cash generated by operations are
adequate to meet our capital and operating needs.

Effects of Inflation

Our assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash, assets convertible
into cash, securities owned and receivables. Because of their liquidity, these
assets are not significantly affected by inflation. We believe that replacement
costs of equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements will not materially
affect operations. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as
those for employee compensation and telecommunications, which may not be
readily recoverable in the price of services offered by us.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our securities are subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations
to the extent that there is a difference between the amount of our interest-
bearing assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid,
mature or reprice in specific periods. This risk is mitigated by the fact that
approximately 82.6% of the market value of securities owned were funded through
equity rather than debt. The principal objective of our asset/liability
activities is to provide maximum levels of net interest income while
maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and
facilitating our funding needs. We use an interest rate sensitivity model as
the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk
that is present at the end of each month.

The following tables provide comparative information about our financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. These tables
present principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by
expected maturity dates. Additionally, we have assumed our securities are
similar enough to aggregate them for presentation purposes. If tax-equivalent
yields of municipal securities had been used, the weighted-average interest
rates would have been higher.

BUSINESS

Overview

Concord EFS, Inc. is a leading, vertically integrated electronic transaction
processor. We acquire, route, authorize, capture and settle virtually all types
of electronic payment and deposit access transactions for financial
institutions and merchants nationwide. Our primary activities consist of
Network Services, which provides ATM processing, debit card processing, deposit
risk management and coast-to-coast debit network access principally for
financial institutions, and Payment Services, which provides payment processing
for supermarkets, major retailers, petroleum dealers, convenience stores,
trucking companies and independent retailers. In 2000, we processed
approximately 8.0 billion transactions. We are ranked as a market leader in
several important categories, including:

in our Network Services business:

. #1 in the number of ATMs driven--we drive 16% of all ATMs in the United
States,

. #1 in the number of ATMs carrying a specific regional debit network
brand--more than 50% of the ATMs in the United States carry our STAR, MAC
or Cash Station brand, and

. #1 in the number of PIN-secured debit payment transactions processed
through a debit network--we process 50% of all PIN-secured debit payment
transactions through our combined debit network, and

in our Payment Services business:

. #1 in the number of PIN-secured debit payment transactions acquired by a
payment processor--we acquire 20% of all PIN-secured debit payment
transactions,

. #4 in the total number of credit, debit and EBT card payment transactions
processed--we process 9% of all credit, debit and EBT card payment
transactions, and

. #4 in the total dollar volume of credit and signature debit card payment
transactions processed--we process 6% of all dollar volume for credit and
signature debit card payments.

Industry Overview

The electronic transaction processing industry provides financial
institutions and other ATM deployers with processing and network access
services and provides merchants with credit, debit and EBT payment processing
services. Independent sources report the following trends in the U.S.
processing industry:

Growth of PIN-secured debit at the point of sale. PIN-secured debit
transactions at the point of sale are estimated to have grown at a compound
annual rate of 36% between 1995 and 2000 (as projected for 2000) to a total of
3.6 billion transactions. We believe this growth is due to the increased
acceptance of PIN-secured debit at merchant locations and these merchants'
preference for PIN-secured debit due to its lower cost per transaction relative
to other non-cash payment methods. According to a cost study performed in 2000
by the Food Marketing Institute, the average cost of a PIN-secured debit
transaction is $0.34, compared to $0.36 for checks and $0.72 for credit and
signature debit transactions. The Nilson Report, Issue No. 726, projects that
PIN-secured debit card transactions will grow at a compound annual rate of 18%,
reaching 6.2 billion transactions in 2005.

Percent of United States Payment Transactions

[PERCENT OF UNITED STATES PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS CHART]

Opportunity to replace cash and check payments. The percentage of total
payment transactions in which cash or checks were used as the method of payment
decreased from 77% in 1995 to 72% in 1999 and is expected to further decrease
to 61% by 2005. We believe that PIN-secured and signature debit transactions
are viable alternatives to these payment methods. Since the absolute number of
transactions utilizing cash and check payment methods is still sizable (for
example, it is estimated that in 1999, 29.4 billion transactions were paid by
check and 46.6 billion transactions were paid in cash), a significant
opportunity exists for PIN-secured and signature debit payments to replace
these payment methods.

ATM usage. ATM transaction volume is estimated to have grown at a compound
annual rate of 6% between 1995 and 2000 (as projected for 2000) to a total of
13.2 billion transactions. The number of installed ATMs in the United States is
estimated to have grown to 273,000 in 2000 (as projected for 2000) from 122,706
in 1995, a 17% compound annual growth rate. The number of off-premise ATMs is
estimated to have grown 33% during the same period. We believe this growth has
been largely driven by the enhanced profit potential at off-premise locations,
resulting from ATM surcharging and the lower cost of limited function machines
installed off-premise. Off-premise locations refer to sites other than bank
branches.

Consolidation of regional debit networks. The number of regional debit
networks in the United States is estimated to have fallen from approximately
100 in 1989 to approximately 35 in 2001 (as projected for 2001). These debit
networks began as bank-owned institutions serving financial institutions and
their customers in relatively small geographic regions. As acceptance increased
and as financial institutions merged, competing networks also merged to create
multi-state networks with broad brand coverage. This consolidation allows
networks to extend their geographical reach and serve financial institutions,
consumers and merchants nationwide.

Increased use of credit cards. Consumer expenditures on credit cards are
estimated to have increased to $1,274 billion in 2000 (as projected for 2000)
from $744 billion in 1995, representing a compound annual growth rate of 11%.
The Nilson Report, Issue No. 730, projects that credit card purchase volume
will continue to grow at a compound annual rate of 8% over the next five years,
reaching $1,905 billion in 2005.

Demographic trends. In 1999, STAR commissioned a survey of approximately
8,500 consumers which was conducted by The Applied Management & Planning Group,
an independent marketing research firm. According to the study, consumers
between the ages of 21 and 44 are the greatest users of ATMs and PIN-secured
debit for payment, with greatest usage among consumers age 25 to 34. As these
consumers age, we expect that they will continue to use the payment technology
to which they have grown accustomed, while younger consumers will begin using
ATMs and PIN-secured debit payments as their age and income increase.

Strategy

Our strategy is to grow our Network Services and Payment Services businesses
by providing a fully integrated range of processing services at competitive
prices targeted to select markets with high growth characteristics. We have
developed and continue to pursue the following initiatives to capitalize on our
competitive position and increase our share of the market for transaction
processing services:

. Focus on markets which are switching rapidly to electronic payment
cards. We target markets in which the use of cash and checks has
historically been high, such as supermarkets and gas stations. We believe
that these markets will grow faster than the overall electronic payment
processing industry in the acceptance and usage of credit and debit
cards.

. Utilize a multi-faceted sales approach to target selected vertical
markets. We seek to penetrate our selected markets through a segmented
sales approach in which 50 corporate sales people sell directly to medium
and large companies, 400 independent sales people sell to small and
medium sized companies, and 800 third party independent sales
organizations and agent banks sell to smaller merchants. Our direct sales
force is organized along key customer industry lines with specialization
in the petroleum, supermarket, major retail and hospitality industries.
We believe that this vertical sales approach provides us with broad
access to potential new customers.

. Provide a fully integrated range of services. We believe that our
vertically integrated structure allows us to be a highly efficient
provider of electronic payment processing services. By providing a wide
range of relevant services, we are able to customize services, to offer
competitive prices and to capitalize on the complete revenue opportunity
with each of our clients. Further, for PIN-secured debit transactions for
which we are both the acquiring processor and the debit card processor,
we are able to capture all of the applicable fees associated with each
transaction, thereby maximizing our per transaction revenue opportunity.

. Cross-sell our services to existing clients. With the acquisitions of
STAR and Cash Station, we now provide network access to 6,200 financial
institution customers. This creates an opportunity to increase revenue
and profits by cross-selling our ATM processing and debit card processing
products to these existing financial institution customers, especially
STAR and Cash Station members, which are under-penetrated with our
processing services as compared to MAC network members.

. Leverage our PIN-secured debit infrastructure. As a coast-to-coast debit
network, we believe that we have significant opportunities to add
additional services on our network. For example, we believe that most
Internet-based transactions are currently fulfilled using established
credit card payment methodologies. As the use of PIN-secured debit cards
for retail purchases continues to rise, we believe that debit card usage
on the Internet will also increase. We are also developing services to
take advantage of our existing ATM network and card base, such as person-
to-person payments and advertising distribution via ATMs.

. Develop new products and services to meet market needs. We strive to
offer our customers new payment alternatives and other products that will
help them reduce their costs or improve revenues. Examples include
electronic check conversion, which is designed to reduce the number of
checks written for payment, and gift cards and loyalty programs, which
are value-added services to increase sales.

. Maintain a highly-efficient operating structure. We strive to maintain a
highly-efficient operating structure, including an emphasis on low
overhead and cost control efforts. Additionally, through our banking
subsidiary, EFS National Bank, we are able to participate directly in
bank card associations and regional and national ATM and debit card
networks, to cost-effectively settle electronic transactions and to
substantially reduce our automated clearing house (ACH) and wire
transfer fees. We have been successful in leveraging the efficiency of
our operating structure and efficiency improvements in
telecommunications and other technologies. Between 1998 and 2000, we
have improved our operating income per transaction at a compound annual
rate of 10.7%, excluding acquisition and restructuring charges.

. Seek selective acquisitions. We will continue to look for opportunities
to grow our business through selective acquisitions that will allow us
to increase our customer base, increase profitable transaction volume
and reduce costs. For example, the acquisitions of STAR and Cash Station
enabled us to increase our volume of PIN-secured debit transactions at
the point of sale. We have also increased our volume of credit
transactions processed through the acquisition of Card Payment Services.

Services

Network Services. Network Services includes terminal driving and monitoring
for ATMs, transaction routing and authorization via the combined STAR, MAC and
Cash Station debit network as well as other debit networks, deposit risk
management and real-time card management and authorization for PIN-secured
debit and signature debit cards. In addition, we operate the network switch
that connects a coast-to-coast network of ATMs and POS locations that accept
debit cards issued by our member financial institutions. Our network access
services include transaction switching and settlement. In 2000, we processed
1.8 billion PIN-secured debit transactions and 3.2 billion ATM transactions.

Our debit network has been built primarily through the acquisition of a
number of regional debit networks, giving us the only non-bankcard association,
coast-to-coast debit network. In 1999, through our acquisition of Electronic
Payment Services, we acquired the MAC network, which is concentrated in the
Northeastern United States. In 2000, we acquired the Cash Station network,
which is concentrated in the Midwest. Most recently, in February 2001, we
acquired STAR, whose network spans the Western, Southwestern and Southeastern
United States. As a result of these acquisitions, our 6,200 financial
institution customers deploy over 180,000 ATMs nationwide that carry at least
one of our brands (STAR, MAC or Cash Station).

In addition, through the estimated 800,000 branded POS locations connected
to our combined network, we switch 50% of the total United States PIN-secured
debit transactions at the point of sale. We believe that we enjoy a significant
competitive advantage by owning a coast-to-coast debit network with the
strength of the STAR brand that allows us to effectively cross-sell our
services to both Network Services and Payment Services customers.

As a result of our acquisitions of STAR, MAC and Cash Station, we can now
capture all of the fees associated with a PIN-secured debit payment
transaction, as illustrated below.

[graphic illustrating fee opportunity in a PIN-secured debit payment
transaction]

As shown, for PIN-secured debit transactions using our combined STAR, MAC
and Cash Station debit network and for which we are both the acquiring
processor and the debit card processor, we receive (1) a fee from the merchant
for acquiring the transaction, (2) a network acquirer fee from the merchant
plus a fee from the card issuing financial institutions for running the
transaction through our network switch, and (3) a fee from the card issuer for
obtaining the authorization. For PIN-secured debit transactions which use our
network, but where we do not have an acquiring relationship with the merchant,
we still earn a network acquirer fee plus a fee for switching the transaction
through our network. Most other payment processors do not have the ability that
we do to earn all of these fees on each transaction.

We hold an 85% ownership interest in Primary Payment Systems, which we
believe is an industry leader in deposit account fraud detection systems.
Through Primary Payment Systems, we have extended our services to provide
deposit risk management services to our customers. Our deposit risk management
products will provide the financial services and retail industries with
comprehensive tools to reduce deposit account and securities account fraud and
its related expense. Primary Payment Systems' products are marketed to
financial institutions directly by Primary Payment Systems as well as through
our STAR network. Primary Payment Systems also provides us with access to a
number of financial institution customers who are customers of Primary Payment
Systems but not our debit network. Primary Payment Systems recently increased
the breadth of its deposit risk management services with the acquisition of
Wally Industries, Inc., d/b/a WJM Technologies. WJM provides front-end tools to
help financial institutions validate and protect against fraudulent deposit
accounts before they are opened and activated. Through its Early Warning(R)
software product, WJM screens new banking customer relationships. Primary
Payment Systems anticipates that the addition of WJM will enable it to develop
more powerful fraud filters that can be extended to other markets, as well as
provide additional cross-selling opportunities and augment customer retention.

Payment Services. Payment Services provides the systems and processing that
allow retail clients to accept virtually any type of electronic payment,
including all card types--credit, debit, EBT, prepaid and proprietary cards--as
well as a variety of check-based options. We focus on providing payment
processing services to selected segments, with specialized systems designed for
supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores and restaurants. In 2000, we
processed 3.0 billion of these payment transactions. Payment Services also
includes providing payment cards that enable drivers of trucking companies to
purchase fuel and obtain cash advances at truck stops. Our services are
completely turn-key, providing merchants with POS terminal equipment,
transaction routing and authorization, settlement, funds movement and
sponsorship into all credit card associations (such as VISA and MasterCard) and
debit networks (such as STAR, Pulse and NYCE).

We have benefited from the shift in payments from cash and checks to debit
cards and EBT. We have also realized growth in transactions as a result of our
merchants expanding into additional locations and the growth in our independent
sales organization partners. We believe our end-to-end product has provided us
with a competitive advantage. For PIN-secured debit transactions for which we
are both the acquiring processor and the debit card processor, we are able to
capture all of the applicable fees associated with each transaction, thereby
maximizing our per transaction revenue opportunity. We believe we are the
leading provider of payment services to the grocery and petroleum industries.

As a fully integrated transaction processor, we are able to provide our
Payment Services customers with all of these services:

[graphic illustrating services Concord provides its Payment Services customers]

. Equipment--We sell or lease POS terminal equipment through volume
purchasing arrangements with equipment vendors.

. Front-End/Software--We provide the systems and software for POS
applications that support a variety of non-cash payment types, including
credit, debit, EBT, check authorization, electronic check conversion and
gift cards.

. Communications Network--We manage and monitor the telecommunications
networks that connect the terminals with our host and with the credit,
debit and EBT gateways connected to us. We support all major
telecommunications options, including frame relay, dial-up, satellite,
wireless and DSL.

. Transaction Authorization--We connect to all major credit card
associations, debit networks and magnetic-stripe EBT programs, allowing
us to route transactions to the appropriate network for authorization
and then relay this information back to the terminal to complete the
transaction.

. Merchant Accounting--We perform the merchant accounting function which
aggregates transaction information by merchant for submission to the
appropriate networks and for merchant-level settlement and reporting.

. Settlement/Reporting--The credit card associations settle with our
subsidiary EFS National Bank, which acts as the merchant's sponsoring
bank.

. Funds Movement--Through EFS National Bank, we move the funds from the
networks to the merchant's bank via ACH transfers.

We believe that our ownership of EFS National Bank provides us with a number
of competitive advantages in Payment Services:

. We are a member of the credit and debit card associations and therefore
do not have to pay another financial institution to sponsor us.

. We settle our transactions directly through the Federal Reserve and thus
do not have to pay a third-party vendor.

. We perform services such as ACH and wire transfer internally and
therefore do not have to pay another financial institution for such
services.

Marketing and Customers

We market our services and products on a nationwide basis to supermarkets,
gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, independent retailers, financial
institutions and trucking companies. We market both directly through our
internal sales force and indirectly through independent sales organizations and
their representatives. Our sales force includes 50 corporate sales people who
sell directly to medium and large companies, 400 independent sales people who
sell to small and medium sized companies and 800 third party independent sales
organizations and agent banks who sell to smaller merchants. Our strategy is to
use our in-house marketing expertise to target the large to mid-sized companies
within these selected industries and to use the extensive market penetration of
independent sales organizations to extend our sales reach into the small,
independent firms nationwide. Our relationship with independent sales
organizations was augmented by our acquisition, early in 2000, of Card Payment
Systems, which provides card-based payment processing services to independent
sales organizations.

As an integrated services provider, we have natural cross-selling
opportunities within our client base. We acquired Electronic Payment Services
in 1999, Cash Station in 2000 and STAR in 2001. Our acquisition of Electronic
Payment Services granted us the opportunity to cross-sell settlement processing
services to the approximately 80,000 merchant customer locations that primarily
received only authorization services from Electronic Payment Services. Our
acquisitions of Cash Station and STAR increased our client base to an estimated
800,000 branded POS locations and 6,200 financial institution customers, and
afford us the opportunity to cross-sell ATM and card processing services to
those Cash Station and STAR POS locations and financial institutions that
primarily use third-party processors or process internally.

We market our debit network services under three different brand names:
STAR, MAC and Cash Station. We intend to consolidate all of our brands under
the STAR brand name by 2004. We believe this will add to the name recognition
of STAR as a coast-to-coast EFT brand.

We have historically had success in marketing through key trade association
relationships, such as our endorsement by the National Grocers Association as
the recommended provider of electronic services to grocers, and our partnership
with the Food Marketing Institute to develop and promote new payment products
to the supermarket industry. Management is committed to the cultivation of such
trade association relationships and the development of arrangements with other
service providers.

We are also an authorized issuer of payment cards and processor of card
transactions with the major truck stop chains, which provides a substantial
advantage in selling our card payment systems to trucking companies. Our
relationships with the truck stop owners also affords us an opportunity to
place ATMs at truck stops, which in turn provides a further advantage in
selling our integrated processing and banking services to trucking companies
and truck drivers.

Our established presence in supermarket chains, grocery stores, convenience
stores and other small and mid-sized retailers gives us an advantage in
establishing relationships with EBT providers, whose benefits are primarily
accessed at such retail locations.

Our customers are among the leaders in their industries. Our Network
Services customers include some of the largest financial institutions in the
United States. Our largest Network Services customers are Bank of America, Bank
One, Key Bank, PNC Bank and Wells Fargo. Our largest Payment Services customers
are Food Lion, PETsMART, Sunoco, SUPERVALU and Texaco.

Competition

The businesses of electronic payment processing and settlement, ATM
processing, debit card processing and debit network access services are all
highly competitive. Our principal competitors include national and major
regional banks, local processing banks, non-bank processors and other
independent service organizations, some of which have substantially greater
capital and technological, management and marketing resources than we have. We
also compete with other electronic payment processing organizations and debit
networks. The recent trend of consolidation in the banking industry in the
United States has resulted in fewer

opportunities for merchant portfolio acquisitions, as many small banks have
been acquired by large banks, some of which compete with us in the provision
of processing services.

In our Network Services segment, management estimates that:

. the three largest ATM processors, of which we are the largest, drive
approximately 27% of total ATMs in the United States,

. the three largest regional debit networks, of which we are the largest,
process 70% of all PIN-secured debit payment transactions, and

. VISA and MasterCard collectively account for over 65% of total annual
debit payment transactions (both PIN-secured and signature debit
transactions) among the debit networks.

In our Payment Services segment, we compete with other companies who have a
significant share of each business. Management estimates that:

. the three largest acquirers of PIN-secured debit payment transactions, of
which we are the largest, account for approximately 33% of all PIN-
secured debit payment transactions,

. the three largest payment processors, which we are not among, account for
roughly 48% of total credit, debit and EBT card payment transactions, and

. the three largest bank card acquirers, which we are not among, process
approximately 65% of the total dollar volume of credit and signature
debit card payments.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to compete
successfully with such competitors.

While we compete with VISA and MasterCard in our Network Services business,
at the same time our Payment Services business relies on VISA and MasterCard
for the authority to process transactions in the VISA and MasterCard systems.
Moreover, VISA and MasterCard have existing products and rules which could
make it difficult for us to compete against them, which could further increase
VISA and MasterCard's power in the debit network access portion of the Network
Services business.

In addition, the competitive pricing pressures that would result from any
increase in competition could adversely affect our margins and may have a
material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

We compete in terms of price, quality, speed and flexibility in customizing
systems to meet the particular needs of customers. We believe that we are one
of the few fully integrated suppliers of a broad range of hardware,
processing, banking and data compilation services for use in transactions at
retail locations. We also believe that we are one of the few processors that
operates a coast-to-coast debit network, permitting us to offer comprehensive
debit transaction processing services.

Supervision and Regulation

We and our subsidiaries are subject to a number of federal and state laws.
We are a financial holding company and a bank holding company registered with
the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended,
which is administered by the Federal Reserve. As a financial holding company,
we are subject to the Bank Holding Company Act, which generally prohibits us
from:

. directly or indirectly engaging in any activities other than banking,
managing or controlling banks and certain other activities that the
Federal Reserve has approved as financial in nature, incidental to such a
financial activity or complementary to a financial activity; and

. acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of more than 5%
of any class of voting shares of any company that is engaged in
activities other than activities that the Federal Reserve has approved as
financial in nature, incidental to such a financial activity or
complementary to a financial activity, with certain exceptions.

For us to qualify as a financial holding company, our depository institution
subsidiaries needed to have at least a "satisfactory" Community Reinvestment
Act rating on their most recent examination, and we were required to certify
that our depository institution subsidiaries are well capitalized and well
managed. If any of our depository institution subsidiaries ceases to be well
capitalized or well managed, we will be required to enter into an agreement
with the Federal Reserve to bring that depository institution into compliance
with applicable capital and management requirements. During the period of
noncompliance, the Federal Reserve may impose limitations on the activities of
Concord and our affiliates, and we would not be permitted directly or
indirectly to engage in, or acquire shares of a company engaged in, additional
activities permissible for financial holding companies but not bank holding
companies, without the Federal Reserve's prior approval. In addition, the
Federal Reserve may require divestiture of our depository institution
subsidiaries if the capital or management deficiency persists. Also, if any of
our depository institution subsidiaries fails to maintain a "satisfactory"
rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, we would not be permitted directly
or indirectly to engage in, or acquire shares of a company engaged in,
additional activities permissible for financial holding companies but not bank
holding companies until the subsidiary depository institution improves its
rating to at least a "satisfactory" rating.

We are required to file with the Federal Reserve an annual report and such
additional information which the Federal Reserve may require. We also are
required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring
more than 5% of any class of voting stock of any bank that is not already
controlled by us. The Federal Reserve may examine our and each of our
subsidiaries' records, including a review of our capital adequacy in relation
to guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve requires
minimum capital levels as measured by three ratios: total capital to risk-
weighted assets, tier one capital to risk-weighted assets and tier one capital
to average total assets. If the level of capital is deemed to be inadequate,
the Federal Reserve may restrict our future expansion and operations and take
certain other enforcement actions. The Federal Reserve possesses cease and
desist powers over us if, among other things, our actions or actions of our
subsidiaries represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law.

Federal law also regulates transactions among us and our affiliates,
including the amount of loans or investments that our banking affiliates, EFS
National Bank and EFS Federal Savings Bank, may make to non-bank affiliates and
the amount of advances that each may make to third parties collateralized by an
affiliate's securities. In addition, various federal and state laws and
regulations regulate the operations of EFS National Bank and EFS Federal
Savings Bank, including laws and regulations requiring reserves against
deposits, limiting the nature and pricing of loans and restricting investments
and other activities. Our bank affiliates are also limited in the amount of
dividends that they may declare. Prior regulatory approval must be obtained
before declaring any dividends if the amount of capital, surplus and retained
earnings is below certain statutory limits.

EFS National Bank and EFS Federal Savings Bank also are generally prohibited
from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements with their affiliates that
condition the availability or price of their products and services on the
customer also obtaining products or services from the affiliate or providing
credit, property or services to an affiliate.

As a national bank, EFS National Bank operates under the rules and
regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is its
primary regulator. As a federal savings bank, EFS Federal Savings Bank operates
under the regulatory and supervisory jurisdiction of the Office of Thrift
Supervision. EFS Federal Savings Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve
System and is therefore subject to certain provisions of the Federal Reserve
Act. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures the domestic deposits of
both banks. Each bank also is subject to periodic examination by, and must make
regularly scheduled reports of financial condition to, its respective
regulatory agencies.

Our EFT services sold to financial institutions are regulated by certain
state and federal banking laws. Material changes in federal or state regulation
could increase our cost of providing EFT services, change the competitive
environment or otherwise adversely affect us. We are not aware of any such
change which is pending.

We also are affected by the financial privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act (the GLB Act) and its implementing regulations, which apply to banks
and other financial institutions. The GLB Act and regulations generally require
financial institutions to disclose their practices for gathering and disclosure
of nonpublic personal financial information regarding consumers. Consumers also
have the right to opt out of certain types of information sharing. We do not
deal directly with consumers through our Payment Services or Network Services
businesses. However, certain consumer financial information that we receive may
be subject to limitations on reuse and redisclosure under the GLB Act.
Additionally, pending legislation at the state and federal levels may further
restrict our information gathering and disclosure practices. Although the GLB
Act and other privacy laws have not had a material impact on our business to
date, existing and potential future privacy laws may limit our ability to
develop new products and services that make use of certain data gathered
through our Network Services and Payment Services businesses.

In addition to regulation by federal and state laws and governmental
agencies, we are subject to the rules and regulations of the various credit
card associations and debit networks, including requirements for equity capital
commensurate with transaction processing dollar volume.

Employees

As of March 31, 2001, we employed 2,389 full and part-time personnel,
including 708 data processing and technical employees, 1,330 in operations and
351 in sales and administration. Many of our employees are highly skilled, and
we believe our future success will depend in large part on our ability to
attract and retain such employees. We have incentive agreements with our Chief
Executive Officer and our President and an employment agreement with the
President of STAR; however, we do not have any material employment contracts
with any other employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor
union, and we have experienced no work stoppages. We consider our employee
relations to be excellent.

Properties

Our principal executive offices, which are leased, are located at 2525
Horizon Lake Drive, Suite 120, Memphis, Tennessee 38133. We also own a building
in Wilmington, Delaware and lease buildings in Maitland, Florida and Atlanta,
Georgia, which are used as data centers. We lease approximately 25 other
properties which are used for sales and support and various other aspects of
our operations.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of the offering, we will have 244,416,094 shares of common
stock outstanding (based on outstanding shares as of May 25, 2001, assuming
that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option and excluding
25,452,004 shares issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of May
25, 2001). Of these shares, 225,052,837 shares (assuming the selling
stockholders sell all of their 17,031,849 shares offered in the offering) will
be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act unless purchased by an "affiliate" of ours, as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which sales will be subject to
the volume limitations and other restrictions set forth in Rule 144.

Of the remaining shares,

Furthermore, an additional 30,119,469 shares that may be issued in the
future upon the exercise of options granted and to be granted under our stock
option plans have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will
be freely tradable when issued (subject to the volume limitations and other
conditions of Rule 144, in the case of shares to be sold by our affiliates). Of
these options, 10,379,150 shares are covered by the lock-up period for
directors and officers referred to above.

Registration Rights

In connection with the acquisition of STAR, we entered into a registration
rights agreement with certain entities that became our stockholders as a result
of the merger (each, a Current Stockholder (STAR)). The registration rights
agreement provides that, subject to certain limitations, at any time on or
after August 1, 2001 but before February 1, 2003, each Current Stockholder
(STAR) has the right to demand, on no more than two occasions, that we register
all or a portion of the shares of our common stock acquired by that stockholder
as a result of the merger, subject to a minimum demand of 40% of the total
shares issued in connection with the merger, provided that such percentage has
a fair market value of at least $100 million. We are required to use our best
efforts to effect any such registration on demand. Such registrations will be
at our expense, except that each selling stockholder will bear its pro rata
share of the underwriting discounts and commissions.

In addition, under the registration rights agreement, the Current
Stockholders (STAR) have certain incidental rights to require us to include in
any registration statement we file with respect to our securities (whether for
our own account or for the account of any securityholder) such amount of shares
of common stock requested by the Current Stockholders (STAR) to be included
therein, subject to certain exceptions. Such registrations will be at our
expense, except that each selling stockholder will bear its pro rata share of
the underwriting discounts and commissions.

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, after this offering, certain
of the Current Stockholders (STAR) will continue to have the registration
rights described above with respect to 7,809,642 shares owned by them assuming
that the selling stockholders sell 17,031,849 shares in this offering.

In connection with the acquisition of Card Payment Systems, we entered into
a registration rights agreement with its two stockholders that became our
stockholders as a result of the merger (each, a Current Stockholder (CPS)). The
right of the Current Stockholders (CPS) to demand that we register shares of
our common stock acquired by such stockholders as a result of the merger has
expired. However, in the event that a Current Stockholder (CPS)'s employment
under his employment agreement with us is terminated without cause

or he terminates his employment with us for good reason, that stockholder will
have a one-time right to demand that we register the common stock held by him
on the effective date of his termination.

In addition, under the registration rights agreement with the Current
Stockholders (CPS), the Current Stockholders (CPS) have certain incidental
rights to require us to include in any registration statement we file with
respect to our securities (whether for our own account or for the account of
any security holder) such amounts of shares of common stock requested by the
Current Stockholders (CPS) to be included therein, subject to certain
exceptions. Such registrations will be at our expense, except that each selling
stockholder will bear its pro rata share of the underwriting discounts and
commissions. After this offering, the Current Stockholders (CPS) will continue
to have these registration rights with respect to 6,225,000 shares owned by
them.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS

This is a general discussion of United States federal tax consequences of
the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock by a beneficial
holder that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a nonresident
alien individual, a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership or a foreign
estate or trust (a Non-United States Holder). We have based this summary upon
the United States federal tax law in effect as of the date of this prospectus.
These laws may change, possibly retroactively.

We do not discuss all aspects of United States federal taxation that may be
important to you in light of your particular circumstances, such as special tax
rules that apply if you are a financial institution, insurance company, broker-
dealer, tax-exempt organization or investor holding our common stock as part of
a "straddle" or other integrated investment. We urge you to consult your tax
advisor about the United States federal tax consequences of acquiring, holding
and disposing of our common stock in your particular circumstances, as well as
any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any foreign, state, local
or other taxing jurisdiction.

Dividends

Dividends paid to a Non-United States Holder will generally be subject to
withholding of United States federal income tax at the rate of 30% or such
lower rate as may be provided by an applicable income tax treaty between the
United States and the country of which the Non-United States Holder is a tax
resident. If, however, the dividend is effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-United States Holder,
the dividend will be exempt from withholding (subject to satisfaction of
applicable certification procedures) and will instead be subject to the United
States federal income tax imposed on net income on the same basis that applies
to United States persons generally (assuming, if required by an applicable tax
treaty, the dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained
by such Non-United States Holder within the United States) and, for corporate
holders and under some circumstances, the branch profits tax. For this purpose,
dividends paid to an entity that is treated as fiscally transparent (e.g., a
partnership) for United States federal income tax purposes generally will be
treated as made to the ultimate beneficial owners of the entity.

To obtain a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty on dividends we pay,
a Non-United States Holder generally will be required to provide an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that Non-United States Holder's
entitlement to treaty benefits. In addition, in the case of common stock held
by a foreign partnership, the certification requirement generally will apply to
the partners of the partnership, and the partnership must provide certain
information, including a United States taxpayer identification number. Special
rules apply to determining whether persons holding common stock through a
fiscally transparent entity such as a partnership are eligible for treaty
benefits. The application of these rules depends on a holder's particular
circumstances and therefore such persons are urged to consult their tax
advisors regarding their eligibility for such benefits.

Gain on Disposition

A Non-United States Holder will generally not be subject to United States
federal income tax, including by way of withholding, on gain recognized on a
sale or other disposition of our common stock unless:

. the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
in the United States by the Non-United States Holder or

. in the case of a Non-United States Holder who is a nonresident alien
individual and who holds our common stock as a capital asset, that holder
is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year
of the disposition and certain other requirements are met.

Gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
in the United States by the Non-United States Holder will be subject to the
United States federal income tax imposed on net income on the same basis that
applies to United States persons generally, and, for corporate holders and
under some circumstances, the branch profits tax, but will not be subject to
withholding. Non-United States Holders should consult any applicable income tax
treaties that may provide for different rules.

United States Federal Estate Taxes

Our common stock that is owned or treated as owned by an individual who is
not a citizen or resident of the United States, as specially defined for United
States federal estate tax purposes, on the date of that person's death will be
included in his or her estate for United States federal estate tax purposes,
unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Generally, we must report annually to the United States Internal Revenue
Service and to each Non-United States Holder the amount of dividends that we
paid to a holder and the amount of tax that we withheld on such dividends. This
information may also be made available to the tax authorities of a country in
which the Non-United States Holder resides.

United States information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax
will generally not apply to dividends that we pay on our common stock to a Non-
United States Holder if it provides a Form W-8BEN (or satisfies certain
documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a Non-United
States Holder) or otherwise establishes an exemption. Payments by a United
States office of a broker of the proceeds of a sale of our common stock are
subject to both backup withholding at a rate of 31% and information reporting,
unless the holder certifies its Non-United States Holder status under penalties
of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Information reporting requirements, but not backup withholding, will also
apply to payments of the proceeds from sales of our common stock by foreign
offices of United States brokers, or foreign brokers with certain types of
relationships to the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence
in its records that the holder is a Non-United States Holder and certain other

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters
to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to approval of
legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are
obligated to purchase all the shares (other than those covered by the over-
allotment option described below) if they purchase any of the shares.

The underwriters propose to offer some of the shares directly to the public
at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and
some of the shares to dealers at the public offering price less a concession
not to exceed $ per share. The underwriters may allow, and such dealers may
reallow, a concession not to exceed $ per share on sales to other dealers. If
all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the
representatives may change the public offering price and the other selling
terms.

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from
the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 2,854,000 additional shares of
common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The
underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering over-
allotments, if any, in connection with this offering. To the extent the option
is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional shares
approximately proportionate to that underwriter's initial purchase commitment.

We and our executive officers and directors have agreed that, for a period
of 90 days beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part, we and they will not, without the prior
written consent of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., dispose
of or hedge any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our common stock. In addition, each of the selling
stockholders has agreed not to sell or distribute any shares of common stock of
Concord except under this offering within seven days prior to, or 90 days
beginning on, the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. in
their sole discretion may jointly release any of the securities subject to
these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

The common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"CEFT."

The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we
and the selling stockholders are to pay to the underwriters in connection with
this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full
exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of common
stock.

Per share.. $ $ $ $
Total......

In connection with the offering, Salomon Smith Barney Inc., on behalf of the
underwriters, may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market.
These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and
stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock
in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the
offering, which creates a syndicate short position. "Covered" short sales are
sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the
underwriters' over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to
close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider,
among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open
market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the
over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short
position involve either purchases of the common stock in the open market after
the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment
option. The underwriters may also make "naked" short sales of shares in excess
of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short
position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short
position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that
there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market
after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the
offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares
in the open market while the offering is in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the
underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. repurchases shares originally sold by that syndicate
member in order to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing
purchases.

In addition, one or more selling stockholders may have covered short
positions in respect of the shares being sold by them in this offering which
will become uncovered as a result of the sale. After the distribution has been
completed, they may close out these positions through purchases of the common
stock in the open market.

Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the common stock. They may also cause the price
of the common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in
the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters and
selling stockholders may conduct these transactions on the Nasdaq National
Market or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. If the underwriters or
selling stockholders commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue
them at any time.

In addition, in connection with this offering, some of the underwriters and
selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in the
common stock on the Nasdaq National Market prior to the pricing and completion
of the offering. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the
Nasdaq National Market no higher than the bid prices of independent market
makers and making purchases at prices no higher than those independent bids and
effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on
each day are limited to a specified percentage of the passive market maker's
average daily trading volume in the common stock during a specified period and
must be discontinued when that limit is reached. Passive market making may
cause the price of the common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise
would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. If the
underwriters commence passive market making transactions, they may discontinue
them at any time.

We estimate that our portion of the total expenses related to this offering
will be $1,300,000.

The underwriters have performed certain investment banking and advisory
services for us and the selling stockholders from time to time for which they
have received customary fees and expenses. The underwriters may, from time to
time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary
course of their business.

This offering is being made in conformity with certain applicable provisions
of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (NASD) for the following reasons: (1) As indicated under
"Principal and Selling Stockholders," Bank of America Corporation, the parent
company of Banc of America Securities LLC, one of the underwriters, is a
selling stockholder in the offering and will receive more than ten percent
(10%) of the net proceeds of the offering. In addition, Citibank, FSB, an
affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc., one of the underwriters, is a selling
stockholder in the offering, and Regions Financial Corporation, the parent
company of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., one of the underwriters, is a selling
stockholder in the offering. Under Rule 2710(c)(8) of the Conduct Rules of the
NASD, if more than ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds of a public offering
of securities is to be paid to members of the NASD that are participating in
the offering, or affiliated or associated persons, the offering must be made in
conformity with certain applicable provisions of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules
of the NASD; and (2) As of April 30, 2001, certain principals (including
Richard P. Kiphart, a director of Concord) of William Blair & Company, L.L.C.,
one of the underwriters, beneficially owned an aggregate of 8,319,408 shares of
our common stock, which will represent 3.4% of our outstanding common stock
upon the closing of this offering, assuming that the underwriters' over-
allotment option has not been exercised. In addition, certain mutual funds
affiliated with, and certain discretionary accounts advised by, William Blair &
Company, L.L.C. beneficially own shares of common stock.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites
maintained by one or more underwriters. The representatives may agree to
allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage
account holders. The representatives will allocate shares to underwriters that
may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In
addition, shares may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who
resell shares to online brokerage account holders.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or
to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of
any of those liabilities.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us
by Marcia E. Heister, our General Counsel, and for the underwriters by Cleary,
Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, New York, New York. Marcia E. Heister is General
Counsel and Assistant Secretary of Concord and holds options for shares of
Concord's common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2000

Note A--Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations: Concord is a vertically-integrated electronic
transaction processor. Concord acquires, routes, authorizes, captures, and
settles all types of non-cash payment transactions for retailers and financial
institutions nationwide. Concord's primary activities consist of (1) Payment
Services, which provides payment processing services for credit card, debit
card, and electronic benefits transfer card transactions for retailers; and (2)
Network Services, which provides network and ATM processing services for
financial institutions.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Concord and its subsidiaries after elimination of all material
intercompany balances and transactions.

Business Combinations: The consolidated financial statements have been
restated for all transactions accounted for as poolings of interests to combine
the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the respective
companies for all periods presented. Transactions accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting reflect the net assets of the acquired company at
fair value on the date of acquisition, and the excess of the purchase price
over fair value of the assets is recorded as goodwill. The results of
operations of the purchased company are included since the date of acquisition.
Concord owns a majority interest of 74% in Primary Payment Systems, Inc. (PPS),
a risk management service, as a result of Concord's acquisitions of STAR and
Cash Station. Concord has consolidated PPS in the consolidated financial
statements in 2000 and 1999. Prior to 1999, Concord considered its majority
ownership in PPS as temporary; therefore, its investment was accounted for
under the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents: Concord considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents consist primarily of federal funds sold through Concord's financial
institutions and money market funds which invest in commercial paper,
repurchase agreements, and instruments of domestic and foreign banks and other
financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable: The majority of Concord's accounts receivable is
related to the gross settlement dollars due from associations, networks, and
trucking company customers. Revenue from most Payment Services customers is
collected daily from settlement funds due to Concord's merchants. In addition,
Concord records an account receivable when revenue is recognized from sales of
POS equipment or transactions by Concord's Payment Services and Network
Services customers.

Securities Available for Sale: Management determines the appropriate
classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and evaluates such
designation as of each balance sheet date. Securities available for sale are
stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
stockholders' equity.

The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-
backed securities, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization,
interest and dividends are included in interest income from investments. The
cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
out method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of POS terminals.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Loans: A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by
mortgage loans in Memphis, Tennessee and the surrounding communities purchased
through Concord's financial institution subsidiaries (the Banks). The Banks
originate loans to home builders in the construction industry as well as a
limited number of commercial and consumer loans. The ability of Concord's
debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general
economic conditions of this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding
unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs and the allowance for loan
losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90
days delinquent. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off
at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered
doubtful.

Interest income is subsequently recognized on impaired loans only to the
extent cash payments in excess of past due principal amounts are received.
Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest
amounts contractually due are brought current.

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management determines that a loan
balance is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
allowance.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill and other intangible assets
are stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line basis over
an estimated useful life of 10 to 25 years for goodwill, 6 years for purchased
merchant contracts, and 5 to 15 years for intangibles other than purchased
merchant contracts, such as customer lists.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Management evaluates long-lived assets,
including property and equipment, goodwill, and certain other intangible assets
to be held and used by Concord for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be
recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected discounted future
cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values.
Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset.

Income Taxes: Concord accounts for income taxes using the liability method.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from credit card and other transaction
processing activities is recorded when the service is provided, gross of
interchange and network fees charged to Concord which are recorded as a cost of
operations at the same time the services are provided.

Revenue from service contracts and product sales is recognized when the
service is provided or the equipment is shipped. Service contracts and related
sales include all revenue under system service contracts, including revenue
from sales of terminal hardware when the contract includes such sales.

Concord may incur losses from cardholder disputes in the case of merchant
insolvency or bankruptcy. Based on historical losses, Concord believes its
allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. The allowance for doubtful
accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a
provision for bad debts charged to earnings. Losses are charged against the
allowance when management confirms that a receivable balance is uncollectible.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Stock-Based Compensation: Concord grants options for a fixed number of
shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the
shares at the date of the grant. These stock option grants are accounted for in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees;"
accordingly, Concord recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option
grants.

Income tax benefits resulting from the disqualifying dispositions of certain
employee incentive stock option shares were credited to additional paid-in
capital because no compensation expense was charged to income for financial
reporting purposes related to the exercise of such options.

Note M--Stockholders' Equity

In June 1999 Concord completed an offering of 10.1 million shares of its
common stock, and within the same offering, an additional 44.5 million shares
of common stock were sold by the previous owners of EPS for a total of 54.6
million shares of common stock. Net of the underwriting discount and other
expenses of the offering, Concord received $207.8 million for the 10.1 million
shares of common stock issued. The previous owners of EPS had received
unregistered common stock of Concord in connection with the February 26, 1999
acquisition. Concord did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by
the previous owners of EPS.

Note O--Incentive Stock Option Plans

The Concord EFS, Inc. 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended (the
Concord Plan) allows for the grant of up to 37.5 million shares of common stock
for the benefit of Concord's key employees. Options are granted at 100% of the
market value on the date of the grant (110% in the case of a holder of more
than 10% of the outstanding shares) and generally become exercisable within
four years of the date of the grant. Options generally expire 10 years from the
grant date. At December 31, 2000, 8.2 million shares were available to be
granted.

Prior to its merger with Concord, EPS adopted the Electronic Payment
Services, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the EPS Plan). In connection
with the merger of EPS with Concord, all outstanding options in the EPS Plan
were accelerated and vested in February 1999. The total amount of option shares
(after conversion to Concord EFS, Inc. shares) at December 31, 1998 was
approximately 3.4 million, at a weighted average exercise price of $5.65. All
outstanding options in the EPS Plan were exercised by the expiration date of
November 23, 1999.

Prior to its merger with Concord, STAR adopted the Star Systems, Inc. 2000
Equity Incentive Plan (the STAR Plan). In connection with the merger of STAR
with Concord, all outstanding options in the STAR Plan were vested and became
exercisable. None of the options were issuable upon exercise until February
2001, when the shares subject to issuance under these options were registered.
The total amount of option shares (after conversion to Concord EFS, Inc.
shares) at December 31, 2000 was approximately 0.8 million, at a weighted
average exercise price of $10.21.

As discussed below, Concord has elected to follow APB No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation models that
were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB No. 25,
no compensation expense is recognized because the exercise price of Concord's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if Concord had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement.
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rates of
5.0%, 5.0%, and 6.0%, and volatility factors of the expected market price of
Concord's common stock of .512, .582, and .358. Assumptions that remained
constant for all years were dividend yields of 0% and a weighted average
expected life of the options of three years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because Concord's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, it is

F-17

CONCORD EFS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

management's opinion that the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For
purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is
amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Concord's pro forma
information is as follows for the years ended December 31 (in thousands, except
for earnings per share):

2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- -------

Pro forma net income.............................. $184,922 $113,639 $97,895
Pro forma basic earnings per share................ $ 0.77 $ 0.49 $ 0.44
Pro forma diluted earnings per share.............. $ 0.75 $ 0.47 $ 0.42

Pro forma disclosures are not likely to be representative of reported pro
forma net income and earnings per share in future years as additional options
may be granted in future years and the vesting of options already granted will
impact the pro forma disclosures.

Note P--Employment Agreements

In February 1998 Concord entered into incentive agreements with its CEO and
President, each for a term of five years expiring February 2003. Each agreement
sets out the executive's annual base salary, provides an incentive compensation
program with a bonus potential of 50% of annual base salary, provides for
grants of regular stock options of up to 562,500 shares a year based on
performance, and provides for grants of special stock options contingent upon,
or providing accelerated vesting upon, the average market price of Concord
stock reaching and maintaining certain levels. The agreements contain certain
non-compete provisions and change in control provisions regarding the
acceleration of outstanding stock options and the payment of bonuses.

Note Q--Operations by Business Segment

Concord has two reportable segments: Payment Services and Network Services.

Concord's revenue from Payment Services results from processing payment
transactions made by credit cards (such as VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American
Express, and Diner's Club), and debit cards (such as STAR, Pulse, and NYCE).
Payment Services also includes providing payment cards that enable drivers of
trucking companies to purchase fuel and obtain cash advances at truck stops.

Network Services revenue consists of processing fees for driving and
monitoring ATMs, processing fees for managing debit card records, access and
switching fees for network access, and fees and other surcharges charged for
proprietary ATMs.

Concord evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or
loss from operations. Items classified as "Other" include amounts not
identifiable with the two reported segments described above. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note A--
Significant Accounting Policies.

Assets are allocated between Payment Services and Network Services based
upon Concord's evaluation of the revenue earned by the particular assets.
Assets classified as "Other" include assets not identifiable with the two
reported segments.

Concord's reportable segments are business units that are managed separately
because they offer distinct products for different end users. No single
customer of Concord accounts for a material portion of Concord's

Note R--Debt and Dividend Restrictions

In accordance with federal banking laws, certain restrictions exist
regarding the ability of Concord's financial institution subsidiaries to
transfer funds to Concord in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The
approval of certain regulatory authorities is required to pay dividends in
excess of earnings retained in the current year plus retained net earnings for
the preceding two years. As of December 31, 2000, approximately $213.3 million
and $8.1 million of undistributed earnings of EFS National Bank (EFSNB) and EFS
Federal Savings Bank (EFSFSB), respectively, included in consolidated retained
earnings, were available for distribution to Concord as dividends without prior
regulatory approval. Under Federal Reserve regulations, these subsidiaries are
also limited as to the amount they may loan to affiliates, including Concord,
unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31,
2000, the maximum amount available for transfer in the form of loans to Concord
from EFSNB and EFSFSB, respectively, approximated 2.30% and 0.43% of Concord's
consolidated net assets.

Note S--Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments. These fair values are provided for
disclosure purposes only, and do not necessarily indicate the amount Concord
would pay or receive in a market transaction with an unrelated third party.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

Securities Available for Sale: Fair values for securities are based on
quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.

Loans: Fair values of all categories of loans are estimated by discounting
their expected future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered
for loans with similar terms, reduced by an estimate of credit losses inherent
in the portfolio.

Deposits: Fair values of fixed-rate, fixed-maturity deposits are estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently
being offered on similar deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly
maturities on time deposits. The fair values disclosed for deposits other than
fixed-rate, fixed-maturity deposits approximate their respective carrying
values at the reporting date.

Short-Term Borrowings: The interest rates on short-term borrowings are
variable rates; accordingly, fair value approximates the outstanding balance.

FHLB Advances: The fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses based on Concord's current incremental borrowing
rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Notes Payable: The carrying amount of notes payable to banks approximates
fair value based on interest rates that are currently available to the Company
for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Note A--Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 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 month
period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Concord EFS, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Concord) current report on Form 8-
K/A filed April 16, 2001 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Concord and its subsidiaries after elimination of all
material intercompany balances and transactions.

Business Combinations: The condensed consolidated financial statements have
been restated for all transactions accounted for as poolings of interests to
combine the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the
respective companies for all periods presented. Transactions accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting reflect the net assets of the acquired
company at fair value on the date of acquisition, and the excess of the
purchase price over fair value of the assets is recorded as goodwill. The
results of operations of the purchased company are included since the date of
acquisition.

Reclassification: Certain 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the 2001 presentation.

(4) All material activity between Concord and STAR has been eliminated.
(5) The results of operations include pro forma income taxes that would have
been required if Card Payment Systems had been a taxable corporation. The
former owners of Card Payment Systems were responsible for income taxes for
the periods prior to the merger.

Concord owns a majority interest in Primary Payment Systems, Inc., a risk
management service, as a result of Concord's acquisitions of STAR and Cash
Station. Primary Payment Systems is immaterial to Concord's financial
statements.

On February 7, 2000 Concord acquired Virtual Cyber Systems, Inc., an
Internet software development company. The acquisition of Virtual Cyber
Systems, for which Concord paid approximately $2.0 million, was accounted for
as a purchase transaction and was immaterial to Concord's financial statements.

Acquisition and restructuring charges were $125.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001. The expenses and charges are a result of a
company-wide consolidation plan to address areas of operating redundancies
created by our recent acquisitions. The plan includes consolidation of data
centers and other facilities to eliminate redundancies, the reassignment or
termination of certain employees timed to coincide with the integration of
redundant processing platforms and the functional integration of the STAR
organization into Concord. The charges include $63.9 million for combining
various processing platforms, $16.0 million for the consolidation of duplicate
products and internal systems, $15.6 million for accounting, legal and advisory
fees, and $19.1 million for the termination of certain data center services
contracts. In connection with the consolidation plan, Concord expects to
eliminate approximately 250 positions, 73 of which have been eliminated as of
March 31, 2001. The individual components of the expenses and charges are
listed below. As of March 31, 2001, $89.3 million of these expenses were
accrued but unpaid.

As of March 31, 2001, expenses of $2.2 million, primarily related to Cash
Station network deconversion costs, were accrued but unpaid.

The following table details the activity in the restructuring charge accrual
by category, in millions:

In April 2001 Concord increased its ownership position in Primary Payment
Systems to 85% through the purchase of newly issued shares, which largely
funded Primary Payment Systems' acquisition of Wally Industries, Inc. (doing
business as WJM Technologies). The incremental investment was not material to
Concord's financial statements.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) empowers a
Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact
that the person is or was an officer or director of such corporation or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding, provided that the person acted in good faith
and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, and, for any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the
right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or
director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his
or her duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify the director or officer against the expenses which the officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.

In accordance with the DGCL, Concord's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision to limit the personal liability
of Concord's directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. This provision
eliminates each director's liability to Concord or its stockholders for
monetary damages except to the extent provided by the DGCL (1) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to Concord or its stockholders, (2) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (3) under section 174 of the DGCL providing for
liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock
purchases or redemptions or (4) for any transactions from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to
eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions
involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any such actions
involving gross negligence.

Concord's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws
provide for indemnification of Concord's officers and directors to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, Concord maintains insurance
policies which provide coverage for its officers and directors in certain
situations where Concord cannot directly indemnify such officers or directors.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A

II-2

and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be
deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
