Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
In addition to historical information contained herein, this Discussion and
Analysis contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements
contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking
statements, including those discussed below. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's
analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements
which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
GENERAL
LanVisionLanVision(TM) is a leading provider of healthcare information access systems and
outsourced data center operations that enable hospitals and integrated
healthcare networks to capture, store, manage, route, retrieve and process vast
amounts of clinical and financial patient information. The Company's systems
deliver on-line enterprise-wide access to fully-updated patient information
which historically was maintained on a variety of media, including paper,
magnetic disk, optical disk, x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm. LanVision's
systems, which incorporate data management, document imagingimaging/management and
workflow technologies, consolidate patient information into a single repository
and provide fast and efficient access to patient information from universal
workstations located throughout the enterprise, including the point of patient
care. The systems are specifically designed to meet the needs of physicians and
other medical and administrative personnel and can accommodate multiple users
requiring simultaneous access to patient information, thereby eliminating file
contention. By providing access to all forms of patient information, the Company
believes that its healthcare
information access systemsHealthcare Information Access Systems are essential components
of the computer-based patient record.
The Company's revenues are derived fromfrom: the licensing and sale of systems
comprised of internally developedcomprising LanVision software third partyand third-party software and hardware and from professional services,components;
product support, maintenance and support services. The
professional services; and service bureau
operations (outsourced data center operations). Professional services include
consulting, implementation and training, project management and custom software development
and currently are provided only to the company'sCompany's customers with installed
systems or who are in the process of installing systems. Revenues from
professional services, maintenance and support services, typically are expected
to increase as the number of installed systems increases, although theincrease. The Company earns its
highest margins on theseproprietary LanVision software and the lowest margin is on
third-party hardware. Systems sales to customers may include differing
configurations of software and hardware, resulting in varying margins among
contracts. The margins on professional services revenues are expected to
fluctuate based upon the negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer
and the Company's ability to fully utilize its professional services,
maintenance and support services staff. The highest margin on systems sales is
on proprietary software with lower margins on thirdRevenues from the Company's service
bureau operation, which provides high quality, transaction-based document

party hardwareimaging/management services from a central data center, commenced in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 and software.are expected to increase as the number of hospitals
outsource services to the Company's Virtual Healthware Services division (VHS).
Additionally, revenue from each VHS customer is expected to increase as the
volume of archived historical data increases and retrievals of data increases as
the systems are fully implemented within a healthcare facility.
Sales are made by the Company's direct sales force and through Healthcare
Information Access Systems distribution partners.
On February 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Remarketing Agreement with
Shared Medical Systems Corporation ("SMS"). Under the terms of the agreement,
SMS was granted an exclusive worldwide license to distribute ChartVision(R),
On-Line Chart Completion(TM) and Enterprisewide Correspondence(TM) to the SMS
customer base and prospect base, as defined in the agreement, and a
non-exclusive license to distribute all other LanVision products. If SMS
distributes any other electronic medical record product competing with
LanVision's products, the Company may terminate the SMS Remarketing Agreement.
SMS indicates it has over 1,800 customers in the United States and a total of
3,500 customers in 20 countries and territories in North America and Europe. The
large Healthcare Information Access Systems providers, such as SMS, are often
able to positively influence the buying decisions within their customer base.
LanVision management believes the distribution of its products by SMS will
shorten sales cycles and increase revenues. Although SMS has already begun to
any given customer may include
differing configurationsactively promote LanVision's products, the full impact of softwarethis distribution
agreement will likely not be realized until later in fiscal 1998 or early 1999
as more of the SMS organization is trained to sell and hardware, resultingimplement the LanVision
products.
In 1996, the Company entered into a non-exclusive Remarketing Agreement with
Lanier Worldwide, Inc. (Lanier). Under the terms of the Agreement, Lanier was
entitled to market and distribute ChartVision, On-Line Chart Completion and
related products throughout North America. Through April 30, 1998 Lanier had
licensed the Company's products to two customers. The original Agreement has
expired, and the terms of the SMS Agreement prohibit renewing the Agreement
under the previous terms. At this time, it does not appear the Company will
renew the Agreement with Lanier.
LanVision also maintains Joint Marketing Agreements with, among others, 3M
Health Information Systems, Daou Systems, Inc. and Olicon Imaging Systems, Inc.
To date, these marketing relationships have not contributed to the Company's
revenues. However, management expects these relationships will contribute to
revenue growth in varying margins
among contracts.the future.
The decision by a healthcare provider to replace, substantially modify or
upgrade its information systems is a strategic decision and often involves a
large capital commitment requiring an extended approval process. TheThroughout
1996, 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, the Company has experienced extended
sales cyclecycles. It is common for the Company's systems have typically takensales cycles to take six to eighteen
10
11
months or
sometimes longer, from initial contact to the execution of a salesan agreement. As a result, the
length of the sales cycle causescycles can cause significant variations in quarter to quarter results.
SalesFurthermore, healthcare organizations are assessing and implementing many new
technology solutions, and Year 2000 compliance, and although many of these
systems do not compete with the LanVision product suites, these systems do
compete for capital dollars and the available time of information system
personnel within the healthcare organizations. The agreements cover the entire
implementation of the systemssystem and specify the implementation schedule, which
typically takes place in
one or more phases. The agreements generally provide for the
licensing of the Company's proprietary software and third partythird-party software with a
one-time perpetual license fee that is adjusted depending on the number of
workstations using the software. Third partyThird-party hardware is usually sold outright, with a
one-time fee charged for installation and training. Specific softwareSite-specific customization,
development of interfaces towith existing customer systems and other professionalconsulting services are sold
on a fixed fee or a time and materialmaterials basis.
LanVision enters intoGenerally, revenues from systems sales is recognized when a purchase agreement
is signed and products are shipped. Revenues from the service elements of a
contract including: routine installation, integration, project management,
interface development, training, etc. are deferred until the work is performed.
If an agreement requires the Company to perform services and modifications that
are deemed significant to system acceptance, revenue is recorded either on the
percentage-of-completion method or revenue related to the delivered hardware and
software components is deferred until such obligations are completed, depending
on the contractual terms. Revenues from maintenance and support agreements with its customers to specify:is
recognized ratably over the scopeterm of the systemsagreements. Billings to be installed and services to be provided by LanVision, the
agreed upon aggregate price and the preliminary timetable for implementation.
The sales agreement typically provides that the Company will deliver the
systems in phases pursuantcustomers

revenues. Revenue recognized prior to progress billings to customers is recorded
as unbilled receivables.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 issue is the timingresult of its receipt of systems andcomputer programs being written using two
digits rather than four digits to make
adjustments that may arise upon changes in technology or changes in customer
needs. Somedefine the applicable year. Any of the
Company's sales agreements provedinternal use computer programs and its software products that are data
sensitive may recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900 rather than the Year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions or engage in normal business activities.
Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that it will be
required to modify or replace some of its internal use software as well as
modify certain existing products so that the customer may
terminatesoftware will function properly
with respect to dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. The Company presently
believes that with modifications to these products and conversions to new
internal use software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational
problems for the Company or its agreement uponcustomers. However, if such modifications and
conversions are not made, or not completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could
have a material breach byimpact on the Company may delayand its customers. The Company has
warranted, to certain aspectscustomers, that its products will be Year 2000 compliant.
11
12
The Company has initiated formal communication with its vendors to determine the
extent to which the Company's software products are vulnerable to those third
parties' failure to correct their own Year 2000 issues. Generally, software
provided by third parties and included in the Company's systems is developed by
leading software suppliers with Year 2000 programs underway. There can be no
guarantee that the software of other companies, on which the Company's systems
rely, will be timely converted. However, management believes the Company has
alternative courses of action designed to ensure internal and customer
operations are not materially affected in an adverse manner.
The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram, or
replace and test its software products for the Year 2000 modifications. The
Company anticipates completing the Year 2000 project as soon as practical but
not later than January 1, 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact. The
total cost of the installationYear 2000 project has currently not been determined, but will
be funded through existing cash resources and may terminatefuture operating cash flows. The
requirements for the agreement atcorrection of Year 2000 issues and the customer's discretion without penaltydate on which the
Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on
management's best estimates which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of
future events including the continued availability of certain resources, third
party modification plans and without regard to the Company's
performance. The sales agreements also allows the customer to request
additional components as the installation progresses, which additions are then
separately negotiated as to price and terms. Historically, customers have
ultimately purchased systems and services in addition to those originally
contemplated by the original sales agreement, althoughother factors. However, there can be no assuranceguarantee
that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated. Specific factors that may cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability of personnel
trained in this trend will continue inarea, the future.ability to locate and collect all relevant computer
codes and similar uncertainties.
UNEVEN PATTERNS OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
The Company's revenues from systems sales have varied, and may continue to vary,
significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of the volume and timing of
systems sales and delivery. Professional services revenues also fluctuate from
quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of the installation of software and
hardware, project management and customized programming. Revenues from
maintenance services do not fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, but
have been increasing as the number of customers increase. Revenues from VHS
services which commenced operations in the first quarter, are expected to
increase over time, as more hospitals outsource services to VHS, and existing
customers increase the volume of documents stored on the systems and the number
of retrievals increase from the ever increasing data base of stored documents.
Because a significant percentage of the Company's operating costs are expensed
as incurred, a variation in the usage of VHS services, the timing of systems
sales and installations and the resulting revenue recognition, can cause
significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, the Company believes that
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its revenues and operating results from the
above factors and the significant
10
11
expansion of operations, as discussed below, may not necessarily be meaningful
and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.
Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when a sales agreement
is signed and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine
installation, integration and other insignificant obligations is deferred until
the work is performed. If an agreement requires the Company to perform services
and modifications that are deemed significant to system acceptance, revenue
related to the delivered hardware and software components is deferred until
such obligations are deemed insignificant. Revenue from consulting, training
and implementation services is recognized as the services are performed.
Revenue from short-term support and maintenance agreements is recognized
ratably over the term of the agreements. Because the progress billing terms and
conditions of the agreements often do not coincide with the revenue
recognition, billings to customers prior to the recognition of the revenue are
classified as deferred revenue. Revenue recognized prior to progress billings
to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables.
The Company's revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter
to quarter as a result of a number of other factors, many of which are outside
the Company's control. These factors include the relatively large sizehigh purchase price
of sales agreements,a LanVision document imaging and workflow
12
13
system, unpredictability in the number and timing of systems sales, length of
the sales cycle, delays in the installation process and changes in the
customer's financial condition or budget. As a result, period to period
comparisons may not be meaningful with respect to the past operations of the
Company nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operations of the
Company.
REVENUES:
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1997,1998, were $2,113,193$3,605,030
compared with $2,113,493$2,113,193 in the comparable quarter of 1996. There were two new sales
agreements executed with new customers during1997.
During the first quarter, of 1997
(Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York City and Lakelandthe Company signed one contract with Christiana Care
Health Services, for its Highland Park Hospital,of which approximately $650,000 of revenue from this contract
was recognized in Highland Park, IL) which two new
agreements contributed approximately $900 thousand inthe first quarter. The remaining systems sales revenues during
the three
months ended April 30, 1997. Portions of these new agreements will be
implemented in future periods. The remaining revenuequarter came from implementation of previously signed agreements (backlog)
and from add-on sales to existing customers. During the first quarter the
Company's newly formed Virtual Healthware Services (VHS) division began
operations.
As previously discussed, after a salesan agreement is executed, LanVision does not
record revenues until it ships the hardware and software or performs the agreed
upon services. The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the
size and complexity of the system and the scheduling of the implementation,
training, interface development and other services requested by the customer.
Accordingly, significant variations in revenues can result as more fully
discussed under "Uneven Patterns of Quarterly Operating Results." Three
customers, including the two new customers
mentioned above,Christiana Care Health Services, accounted for
approximately 47% of the revenues for the first quarter of 1998 and three
customers accounted for 59% of the revenues for the first quarter of 1997 and three customers accounted for 90% of the revenues for the
first quarter of 1996.

OPERATING EXPENSES:
Cost of System Sales
The cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software
development costs on a straight-line basis, royalties and the cost of third
party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems
sales may vary from period to period depending on the mix of hardware and
software configuration of the systems sold.or add-on sales delivered. The cost of systems sales as
a percentage of systems sales for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997 were 37%
and 1996 were 54% and 59%, respectively. The lower cost reflects the higher mix of LanVision
software with higher margins relative to the hardware and third party software
components with lower margins and higher costs.
13
14
Cost of Service, Maintenance and Support
The cost of service, maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits
for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third party
maintenance contracts. As a percentage of service, maintenance and support
revenues, the cost of such service, maintenance and support was 117%106% and 109%117%
for the first quarter of fiscal 19971998 and 1996,1997, respectively.
The service, maintenanceLanVision Customer Support existing staff, including management is necessary
and sufficient to support the existing customer base. However, increases in
customers will not require a proportioned increase in support staffing or total
support costs. Accordingly, margins are expected to improve as more customers
are added. Additionally, the Company's support margins are highest on
LanVision's proprietary software. Accordingly, margins are expected to improve
as the Company licenses more of its software.
The LanVision Professional Services staff consisted of thirty personsprovides services on a time and
material or fixed fee basis. The Professional Services staff has experienced
some inefficiencies in the first quarterdelivery of 1997 compared with fifteenservices, and certain projects have taken
longer to complete than originally estimated, thus adversely affecting operating
performances. Management believes the increase in the comparable prior quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of: compensation
and related benefits and reimbursable travel and living expenses related to the
Company's sales, marketing and administrative personnel; advertising and
marketing expenses, including trade shows and similar type sales and marketmarketing

Product Research and Development

Product research and development expenses consist primarily of: compensation and
related benefits; the use of outsideindependent contractors for specific development
projects; and an allocated portion of general overhead costs, including
occupancy. At April 30, 1996,1998, the product research and development staff
consisted of twenty-five

several months LanVision released upgrades to ChartVision and provided the
general release of On-Line Chart Completion, Enterprisewide Correspondence,
OmniVision(TM), WebView(TM), and our new Document Capture System(TM) modules.
These new releases have enabled LanVision to offer an expanded product portfolio
to new customers and allowed existing customers to expand their use of the
LanVision systems. Because the majority of the major research and development

product research and development costs in the first quarterthree months of fiscal 19971998
and 1996, respectively.1997. It is also expected that Research and Development costs should decline
in future periods as major development projects are completed.
Net loss
The net loss for the first fiscal quarter of 19971998 was $2,845,707$3,136,085 ($.32).36) compared
with a net loss of $780,132$2,845,707 ($.12).32) in the first quarter of 1996.1997. The increased
operating loss is primarily due to the significant expansionto: start-up operating expenses of the Company
discussednew VHS Service
Bureau; increased Research and Development necessary to accelerate the
completion of new products; and lower interest income on investments which were
sold to fund operations and acquisition of fixed assets.
In spite of the less than anticipated number of new customer agreements signed
in the previous paragraphspast year, management continues to believe that the healthcare document
imaging and fewer new systems sales than expected.workflow market is going to be a significant market. Management
believes it has made the investments in the talent and technology necessary to
establish the Company as a leader in this marketplace, and continues to believe
the Company is well positioned to experience significant revenue growth.
Since commencing operations in 1989, the Company has from time to time incurred
operating losses. Although the Company achieved profitability in fiscal years
1992 and 1993, the Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994, 1995, 1996
and 1996.1997. In view of the Company's prior operating history, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to achieve consistent profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis or that it will be able to sustain or increase its
revenue growth in future periods. Based upon the expenses associated with
current and planned staffing levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing
revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OnSince its inception in 1989, LanVision has funded its operations, working
capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash
generated by revenues from operations, borrowings, a 1994 private placement of
convertible redeemable preferred stock and an initial public offering which
raised approximately $34,000,000, net of the underwriting discount and expenses,
through the issuance of 2,912,500 shares of common stock on April 18, 1996, the Company, in its Initial Public Offering, issued
2,912,500 Shares of Common Stock, with net proceeds to the Company, before
expenses, of $35,211,147. The Company has no significant obligations for
capital resources other than operating leases for the existing facilities. It
is expected that existing cash and cash equivalents, and investment securities,
131996.
15
14
as well as cash provided from operations, will be sufficient to meet
anticipated cash requirements, including the planned expansion of staff and
office facilities.16
The Company's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or
medical facilities with good credit history,histories, and payments have been received
within normal time frames for the industry. Sales agreementsAgreements with customers often
involve significant amounts, and contract terms typically require customers to
make progress paymentspayments.
The Company has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than
noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $2,500,000,
payable over the next six years. However, the VHS service bureau operation will
need to acquire additional software and equipment as VHS adds additional
hospitals and clinics to its customer base. The centralized data center has been
originally configured to serve approximately fifty hospitals, with significant
expansion capabilities. However, for each customer, VHS establishes one or more
onsite document capture centers and provides the equipment. Each document
capture center is expected to require at least $125,000 of equipment. Also,
because VHS charges for its services on a per transaction basis, LanVision's
cash flow for capital and operating expenses will normally be greater than cash
inflows until customers begin to use the system at anticipated normal volumes
for a period of time.
In March, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management, at its
discretion, to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock of up to
$1,000,000 in value on the open market. To date, the Company has acquired 90,500
shares at a cost of $430,188.
Over the last nine quarters, the Company's revenues have been less than the
Company's internal plans. However, during the same time period, the Company has
expended significant amounts for capital expenditures, product research and
development, sales, support and consulting expenses as the Company expanded its
operations in anticipation of significant revenue growth. This has resulted in
significant net cash outlays over the last two years. Currently, management
intends to continue to maintain its operations, except for the reduction of
Research and Development expenses as previously discussed, at an expenditure
level similar to fiscal 1997, and may expand operations in connection with
increased revenue opportunities. Accordingly, to achieve profitability, and
positive cash flow, it is necessary for the Company to increase revenues.
Management believes that the recent general release of the products described
above under "Product Research and Development" has significantly strengthened
the product portfolio. Additionally, the SMS Remarketing Agreement has
significantly expanded the sales distribution capabilities, and management
believes that market opportunities are such that the Company should be able to
significantly increase its revenues in fiscal 1998. However, there can be no
assurance the Company will be successful in increasing its revenues. At April
30, 1998, the Company had cash and investments of $6,359,200. Investments
consist primarily of U.S. Government obligations with maturities ranging from
one month to thirty months.
At April 30, 1998, the Company has no outstanding borrowings. However, during
1998, management intends to secure between $5 million and $10 million of
borrowings or equity financing to help finance its operating and previous and
anticipated capital expenditures. The Company is currently negotiating terms of
financing with interested parties. Management believes
16
17
existing cash balances and investment securities, anticipated borrowings or
equity financing and revenues from operations will be sufficient to meet its
liquidity and capital spending requirements. However, in the event revenues do
not increase or financing is not secured over the next two quarters, management
may need to significantly reduce and/or defer operating and capital
expenditures, and which if required, these actions could have an adverse affect
on future operating performance.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or
income.
SIGNED AGREEMENTS - BACKLOG
At April 30, 1997,1998, the Company's customers had entered into sales agreements for
systems and related services (excluding support and maintenance)maintenance, and transaction
based revenues for VHS) which had not yet been delivered, installed and accepted
which, if fully performed, would generate sales of approximately $8,163,000.$8,240,000. See
"Results of Operations: General" for a description of the Company's agreements
with customers. The systems and services related to the agreements are expected
to be delivered or performed, based upon customer implementation schedules, over
the next two to three years.
Of the backlog at
April 30, 1997, the Company has received purchase orders for approximately
$3,490,000 of systems and services (excluding maintenance).
In addition, theThe Company's sales agreements also generally provide for an initial maintenance
period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance services on
a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
14In addition, the VHS division has entered into two agreements which are expected
to generate revenues, starting in fiscal 1998, in excess of $7,000,000 over the
first three years of operations.
Item 3. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company invests its cash balances, in excess of its current needs, in U.S.
Government Securities. The Company does not invest for the purposes of trading
in securities, however, the portfolio is managed and invested for maximum return
on the investment. The marketable securities at April 30, 1998, which are
recorded at a fair value of $4,759,221 and include unrealized gains of $33,878,
have exposure to price risk. This risk is estimated, absent any economic
justification for the selection of a different amount, as the potential loss in
fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in price quoted by
dealers and amounts to $475,922.
Actual results may differ.
The fair market values of investment securities are based on the quoted market
prices at the reporting date for those investments. The estimated fair market
value of investment securities by contractual maturity at April 30, 1998 is as
follows: $313,729 in 1998, $2,394,476 in 1999, and $2,051,016 in 2000.
