Challenges and Compliance Pressures in the Healthcare Industry
Institute of Medicine.In the Institute of Medicine’s, or IOM, 1999 report “To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System” and subsequent 2001 report, the IOM calls for expanded use of information technology and the implementation of other methods to cut the incidence of avoidable medical errors by 50 percent in the U.S. over five years. According to the 1999 report, between 44,000 and 98,000 people die each year as a result of medical errors and many more are injured from preventable mistakes made in hospitals. Even when using the lower estimate, more people die in a given year as a result of medical errors than from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. The IOM identifies medication and pharmacy errors as significant causes of deaths and adverse events.
The Leapfrog Group. The 1999 IOM Report resulted in the formation of The Leapfrog Group, a consortium of more than 130 Fortune 500 companies and other large private and public healthcare purchasers representing more than 33 million lives and $56 billion in annual healthcare purchasing power. The Leapfrog project is steering its members and their employees to base their purchase of healthcare on principles encouraging more stringent patient-safety measures including the use of computerized physician order entry systems, or CPOE. Adoption of CPOE is a leading Leapfrog recommendation for reducing medical errors.
The IOM and The Leapfrog Group are leveraging their respective influence to encourage the deployment of advanced clinical solutions that will help reduce adverse drug events and medical errors. Coupled with demands from consumers, this influence is also spurring new government legislation. Twenty states have legislated mandatory reporting rules and statutes regarding quality and patient safety including California, which has passed legislation mandating the eventual adoption of information technology aimed at avoiding medical errors.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Federal regulations recently issued in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, impose national health data standards on health care providers that conduct electronic health transactions, health care clearinghouses that convert health data between HIPAA-compliant and non-compliant formats and health plans. Collectively, these groups are known as covered entities. These HIPAA standards prescribe transaction formats and code sets for electronic health transactions; protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information; and require covered entities to implement administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of individually identifiable health information in electronic form.
There are several HIPAA compliance deadlines for covered entities. All covered entities must comply with the transaction and code set standards by October 16, 2003. The compliance deadline for the privacy standards is April 14, 2003 for most covered entities. The compliance deadline for the data security standards is April 20, 2005 for most covered entities.
As covered entities begin to require HIPAA-compliant products, software and services, the costs and impact of the HIPAA rules are expected to affect companies throughout the health care industry, whether or not they are covered entities. The need for HIPAA-compliant products, software and services may increase the demand for scalable and adaptable health care information technology such as our products.
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, or The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission, an independent non-profit organization that provides voluntary evaluation and accreditation for nearly 18,000 healthcare organizations and programs in the United States, periodically introduces new process improvement initiatives, standards and performance measurements. The Joint Commission recently introduced new patient safety standards that require hospitals to initiate specific efforts to prevent medical errors and inform patients when they have been harmed during their treatment.
The Internet.We believe growth in the use of the Internet will enable consumers to be more involved in their healthcare choices and to demand greater quality and will give them access to information about healthcare alternatives. Additionally, the Internet will provide increased availability of medical information to physicians, clinicians and other healthcare workers.

The Eclipsys Solution
Eclipsys software and services are designed based upon the philosophy that physicians, nurses or clinicians, in their interaction with a patient, initiate most healthcare activities. For example, a physician’s single order begins a sequence of actions in the care process, the customer relationship management process, the revenue process, the access process, the supply process and decision support process. Our products perform core information technology functions required by healthcare organizations throughout the enterprise. Our software and services provide comprehensive functionality to help healthcare organizations solve clinical and business problems to achieve balanced outcomes of clinical quality, resource utilization and financial metrics as well as clinician and patient satisfaction.
Our solutions are designed to:
• | provide healthcare organizations the knowledge they need to negotiate with payers, such as insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid, and help maximize collections and minimize denial of payments; | |
• | provide clinicians real-time knowledge about the cost and effectiveness of tests and treatments as they order them; | |
• | provide automated processes that improve clinical workflow and support clinical decision-making; | |
• | give clinicians access to patient information and supporting references, such as medical journals, through a variety of technologies, including wireless devices within the healthcare facility and over the Internet; | |
• | integrate clinical, financial and patient satisfaction information to support balanced clinical and financial outcomes; | |
• | help our customers improve workflow processes and implement best practices within their organizations; | |
• | provide tools enabling healthcare organizations to analyze past performance, make plans based on that analysis, and, as those plans are implemented, monitor their effectiveness; | |
• | leverage our products’ modular architecture to let customers meet current and future needs while preserving their investment in existing systems; and | |
• | encourage rapid, cost-effective implementations of on site systems or remote-hosted services. |
The Eclipsys Strategy
Our objective is to become the leading provider of healthcare information technology solutions to the healthcare industry. Key elements of our strategy include:
Provide Comprehensive, Integrated Healthcare Information Technology Solutions. Our goal is to continue to offer software and services that provide our customers with comprehensive, integrated healthcare information technology solutions. We intend to continue to enhance our existing products and develop new solutions to meet the evolving healthcare information needs of our customers. Under our SunriseXA™ initiative, we have been enhancing our products, for instance, to take advantage of Web-based architecture, a browser-enabled, database-neutral software architecture that can support multiple operating system platforms and can be used across a broad range of computing environments, including the Internet, client-server systems and older mainframe computer systems. Our team of research, development and technical support professionals develops, enhances, supports and commercializes a complete line of healthcare information products.
Continue to Leverage Relationship with Microsoft.We are one of twenty companies worldwide which were named to the first tier of the Microsoft .NET early adopter program. Additionally, we have a strategic alliance with Microsoft, which we believe provides us significant advantages. Through this relationship, Microsoft provides us with proven infrastructure and an integrated platform that reduces the total cost of ownership for our customers. Also, we believe the relationship has enabled us to lead the industry in releasing solutions based on Microsoft ..NET. Furthermore, as part of the relationship, we provide Microsoft with input on the critical needs of healthcare organizations with respect to computing requirements, including reliability and response time requirements.
4
Continue Expansion of Sales and Marketing Function.In addition to pursuing business opportunities within our existing customer base, we have grown our sales, sales support and marketing areas to expand our ability to sell to new customers. These initiatives have included adding significant clinical and financial marketing expertise and undertaking new hiring, training and communications programs to better support our field organization and increase our visibility in the healthcare industry. This expanded sales and marketing effort is aimed at widening our target market to include the full spectrum of healthcare organizations ranging from small, stand-alone hospitals to large multi-entity healthcare systems and academic medical centers.
Provide Flexible Product Options. We intend to continue to offer our customers flexible product and product-delivery options, either on site or remote hosted, which meet a wide variety of information and technology requirements. Customers can purchase our software components individually or in any combination and can integrate them into their existing systems, thereby minimizing cost and disruption. When combined, our software components provide an integrated solution to the major clinical, financial and administrative needs of a healthcare organization.
Further Penetrate Our Existing Customer Base. We believe there is a significant opportunity to sell our integrated healthcare technology solutions to our existing customers, which include large healthcare organizations, particularly academic medical centers. Of these customers, few have enterprise-wide healthcare information systems. One or more of our products are installed or licensed to be installed in over 1,500 facilities worldwide. We intend to continue to market our solutions aggressively to our customers in order to capitalize on the growth opportunity within our existing customer base.
Offer Subscription Pricing.We have recently introduced a subscription pricing model which may feature a time-based or perpetual license. Contracts under this model may also include hardware and services such as implementation, consulting and software maintenance. Our subscription pricing model is designed to spread out the cost of the solution over the life of the contract to more closely align cost and value with our customers’ objectives. We believe this is particularly critical in today’s fiscal environment with constrained capital and operating dollars.
SunriseXATM Initiative
During 2002, we continued our SunriseXATM initiative that we began approximately 18 months ago. The SunriseXA™ initiative is focused on re-engineering and migrating our SunriseTM suite of solutions to the Microsoft .Net Framework. SunriseXA™ is a flexible combination of software, services and architecture. SunriseXA™ is our Web-based solution, which enables the knowledge-driven, workflow-enhancing components of our Sunrise™ suite to operate as Web services-based workflow components. SunriseXA™’s extended architecture is built on Microsoft Corporation’s Web-based infrastructure, the .NET Framework, and other industry standards, which make it open and flexible so that it can work with legacy and ancillary systems. This Web-based approach empowers healthcare providers to leverage their existing information technology investments, adding integrated workflow components as functional needs and resources dictate. SunriseXA™ capabilities build upon a single health data repository and computer-based patient record, or CPR, which can be used by all components regardless of the venue of care. By facilitating the sharing of common components between workflow solutions, SunriseXA™ prevents the isolation of information and duplication of functionality that occurs with application-based systems, and enables rapid, cost-effective implementations and ease of maintenance.
We released three SunriseXA™ products in 2002. The first SunriseXA™ release provided initial components of the Web-based clinical information system that served as the foundation for advanced functionality for subsequent releases. The second SunriseXA™ release included support for core physician and nursing workflows in the inpatient, ambulatory and emergency department venues. It also included expanded clinical decision support, enhanced application security and advanced user-friendly configuration tools. The third SunriseXA™ release provided important features such as order entry and structured clinical documentation.
In 2003 and beyond, we are planning to continue the SunriseXA™ initiative, with new releases relating to other components of our existing Sunrise suite of products as well as the enhancement of existing SunriseXA™ components with significant new functionality.

Sunrise Access Manager. Sunrise Access Manager enables the healthcare provider to identify the patient at any point in the healthcare delivery system and to collect and maintain patient information throughout the entire process of patient care on an enterprise-wide basis. The single database structure of Sunrise Access Manager permits simultaneous access to the entire patient record by authorized personnel from any access point on the system. The elements of Sunrise Access Manager include:
• | Functions for comprehensive admission, discharge and transfer, or ADT, management. Patient registration captures demographic, insurance, referral and primary-care provider information and automates visit management by collecting and recording visit information in compliance with third-party billing regulations and managed care contractual requirements. | |
• | Patient scheduling and resource management, which allows personnel to schedule patient appointments throughout an organization based on patient preferences and resource availability. An integrated application, it uses a single database with registration/ ADT and patient accounting functions and provides complex scheduling capabilities such as multiple and linked conditional appointments. Patient details automatically populate both the Sunrise Access and Scheduler products, virtually eliminating errors while streamlining the scheduling process. The Scheduler returns optimal time management for the staff and the patient, thereby preserving the enterprise’s greatest asset — time. The power of integration between billing, approvals, eligibility and access elevates patient management to new levels of efficiency. | |
• | Work Quality Monitor, which is a supervisory task that runs in the background to constantly match transactions against quality protocols to detect transaction errors, mismatches and omissions. When it identifies such exceptions, Work Quality Monitor sends a real-time alert to the party charged with the responsibility for remedying the situation. | |
• | Enterprise person identifier, which is a single index of all patients and healthcare plan members within a healthcare provider’s system that supports searches on the basis of a variety of characteristics, such as name, Social Security number or other demographic data. | |

accepted by an organization. Contract management is used in conjunction with other Sunrise products to ensure that patient care complies with these rules and regulations. | ||
• | Reimbursement management, which facilitates the monitoring of receivables, performance of collection activity, reconciliation with third parties and analysis of contract compliance and performance. |
• | calculates expected payments and contractual allowances for all accounts and reports net receivables by contract, carrier, or individual account; | |
• | automatically creates third-party logs as a by-product of billing; | |
• | breaks down and ages each account’s receivables according to the responsible payer. Aging reports accurately reflect each payer’s receivables to facilitate collection activity and reporting. |
• | Multiple entity billing allows multiple entities to use single-statement billing and registration across the entire enterprise. Patient financial records may be maintained indefinitely by the entity and the enterprise, which allows enterprise-wide access and outcomes analysis. |
Sunrise Decision Support Manager. Sunrise Decision Support Manager creates a clinical and financial data repository by integrating data from throughout the enterprise. Sunrise Decision Support Manager gathers information from the many different departmental information systems through connections that enable concurrent updating of distributed data. The data can then be analyzed to determine the patient-level costs of care and identify areas for improvement. This information allows the organization to evaluate its cost structure, make changes in clinical processes to reduce costs and accurately price reimbursement contracts on a profitable basis. Sunrise Decision Support Manager also analyzes and measures clinical process and outcomes data, helping to identify the practice patterns that most consistently result in the highest quality care at the lowest cost. Sunrise Decision Support Manager is an important component of our customers’ ability to measure and document improved clinical outcomes and return on investment.

Customers, Marketing and Sales
Our marketing and sales efforts focus on the full spectrum of healthcare organizations ranging from small, stand-alone hospitals to large multi-entity healthcare systems and academic medical centers. We sell our products and services in North America exclusively through our direct sales force. Management of the sales force is decentralized, with six regional presidents having primary responsibility for sales and marketing within their regions. National account representatives manage some multi-region accounts. Within each region, the direct sales force is generally organized into two groups, one focused principally on generating sales to new customers and the other focused on additional sales to existing customers. The direct sales force works closely with our implementation and product line specialists. Supporting the field staff is a team of domain experts who have extensive experience and expertise in their specific field. A significant component of compensation for all direct sales personnel is performance based, although we base incentive compensation on a number of factors in addition to actual sales, including customer satisfaction and accounts receivable performance.
Research and Development
Eclipsys believes that future success depends on our ability to maintain and enhance our current product lines, develop new products, maintain technological competitiveness and respond to an expanding range of customer requirements. Currently, we are developing Web-based components based on the Microsoft .NET framework and other industry standards and are creating incremental functionality and new applications for existing software applications.

• | 119 in finance, human resources, legal and other administrative functions. |
10
Our success depends on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense in the information-technology industry, particularly for talented software developers, service consultants and sales and marketing personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Our employees are not represented by any labor unions. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results
There are a number of important factors that could affect our business and future operating results, including without limitation, the factors set forth below. The information contained in this report should be read in light of such factors. Any of the following factors could harm our business and future operating results.
Given the length of our sales and implementation cycles, if a significant number of our customers delay implementation, our future operating results may suffer
We have experienced long sales and implementation cycles. How and when to implement, replace, expand or substantially modify an information system, or modify or add business processes, are major decisions for healthcare organizations. Furthermore, the solutions we provide typically require significant capital expenditures by the customer. The sales cycle for our systems has ranged from 6 to 18 months or more from initial contact to contract execution. Historically, our implementation cycle has ranged from 6 to 36 months from contract execution to completion of implementation. During the sales cycle and the implementation cycle, we will expend substantial time, effort and financial resources preparing contract proposals, negotiating the contract and implementing the solution. We may not realize any revenues to offset these expenditures, and, if we do, accounting principles may not allow us to recognize the revenues during corresponding periods, which could harm our future operating results. Additionally, any decision by our customers to delay implementation may adversely affect our revenues.
The healthcare industry faces financial constraints that could adversely affect the demand for our products and services
The healthcare industry has faced, and will likely continue to face, significant financial constraints. For example, the shift to managed healthcare in the 1990’s put pressure on healthcare organizations to reduce costs, and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 dramatically reduced Medicare reimbursement to healthcare organizations. Our solutions often involve a significant financial commitment by our customers, and, as a result, our ability to grow our business is largely dependent on our customers’ information technology budgets. To the extent healthcare information technology spending declines or increases more slowly than we anticipate, demand for our products would be adversely affected.
We have a history of operating losses and we cannot predict future profitability
We had net losses of $29.8 million in 2002, $34.0 million in 2000, $9.4 million in 1999, $35.3 million in 1998, and $126.3 million in 1997. In 2001, we had net income of $4.4 million, although we had a loss from operations of $1.6 million. We may continue to incur net losses and cannot predict when or if we will be profitable in the future.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly and may cause our stock price to decline
We have experienced significant variations in revenues and operating results from quarter to quarter. Our operating results may continue to fluctuate due to a number of factors, including:
• | the timing, size and complexity of our product sales and implementations; | |
• | overall demand for healthcare information technology; | |
• | the financial condition of our customers and potential customers; | |
• | market acceptance of new services, products and product enhancements by us and our competitors; |
11
• | product and price competition; | |
• | the relative proportions of revenues we derive from systems and services and from hardware; | |
• | changes in our operating expenses; | |
• | the timing and size of future acquisitions; | |
• | personnel changes; | |
• | the performance of our products; and | |
• | fluctuations in general economic and financial market conditions, including interest rates. |
It is difficult to predict the timing of revenues from product sales because the sales cycle can vary depending upon several factors. These factors include the size and terms of the transaction, the changing business plans of the customer, the effectiveness of the customer’s management and general economic conditions. In addition, depending upon the extent to which our customers elect to license our products under comprehensive bundled arrangements, including subscription pricing, the timing of revenue recognition could vary considerably. Under comprehensive bundled arrangements, revenues are recognized under the terms of the contract consistent with the timing of performance of all services offered under the arrangement. Generally, less revenue is recognized under these arrangements during the first 12 to 24 months compared to our more traditional licensing arrangements. We will also continue to offer contracts using our more traditional licensing arrangements. Because a significant percentage of our expenses will be relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of sales and implementations could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not necessarily meaningful. You should not rely on these comparisons as indicators of future performance.
We operate in an intensely competitive market that includes companies that have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do
We operate in a market that is intensely competitive. Our principal competitors include Cerner Corp., McKessonHBOC, Inc., GE Medical Systems, IDX Systems Corp., Epic Systems Corporation and Siemens. We also face competition from providers of practice management systems, general decision support and database systems and other segment-specific applications, as well as from healthcare technology consultants. A number of existing and potential competitors are more established than we are and have greater name recognition and financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. We expect that competition will continue to increase. Increased competition could harm our business.
If the healthcare industry continues to undergo consolidation, this could impose pressure on our products’ prices, reduce our potential customer base and reduce demand for our products
Many healthcare providers have consolidated to create larger healthcare delivery enterprises with greater market power. If this consolidation continues, it could erode our customer base and could reduce the size of our target market. In addition, the resulting enterprises could have greater bargaining power, which may lead to erosion of the prices for our products.
Potential regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of our products as medical devices could impose increased costs, delay the introduction of new products and hurt our business
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, is likely to become increasingly active in regulating computer software intended for use in the healthcare setting. The FDA has increasingly focused on the regulation of computer products and computer-assisted products as medical devices under the federal Food,
12
• | requiring us to seek FDA clearance of a pre-market notification submission demonstrating that the product is substantially equivalent to a device already legally marketed, or to obtain FDA approval of a pre-market approval application establishing the safety and effectiveness of the product; | |
• | requiring us to comply with rigorous regulations governing the pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacture, distribution, labeling and promotion of medical devices; and | |
• | requiring us to comply with the FDC Act’s general controls, including establishment registration, device listing, compliance with good manufacturing practices, reporting of specified device malfunctions and adverse device events. |
If we fail to comply with applicable requirements, the FDA could respond by imposing fines, injunctions or civil penalties, requiring recalls or product corrections, suspending production, refusing to grant pre-market clearance or approval of products, withdrawing clearances and approvals, and initiating criminal prosecution. Any final FDA policy governing computer products, once issued, may increase the cost and time to market of new or existing products or may prevent us from marketing our products.
Changes in federal and state regulations relating to patient data could depress the demand for our products and impose significant product redesign costs on us
The demand for health care information systems is affected by state and federal laws and regulations that govern the collection, use, transmission and other disclosures of electronic health information. These laws and regulations may change rapidly and may be unclear or difficult to apply.
Federal regulations issued in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, impose national health data standards on health care providers that conduct electronic health transactions, health care clearinghouses that convert health data between HIPAA-compliant and non-compliant formats and health plans. Collectively, these groups are known as covered entities. These HIPAA standards prescribe transaction formats and code sets for electronic health transactions; protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information; and require covered entities to implement administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of individually identifiable health information in electronic form.
There are several HIPAA compliance deadlines for covered entities. All covered entities must comply with the transaction and code set standards by October 16, 2003. The compliance deadline for the privacy standards is April 14, 2003 for most covered entities. The compliance deadline for the data security standards is April 20, 2005 for most covered entities. Any failure or perception of failure of our products to comply with HIPAA standards could adversely affect demand for our products and force us to expend significant capital, research and development and other resources to modify our products to address the privacy and security requirements of our customers.
States may adopt privacy standards that are more stringent than the federal HIPAA privacy standards. This may lead to different restrictions for handling individually identifiable health information. As a result, our customers may demand information technology solutions that are adaptable to reflect different and changing regulatory requirements. In the future, federal or state governmental authorities may impose additional restrictions on the collection, use, transmission and other disclosures of health information. We cannot predict the potential impact that these future rules, as finally approved, may have on our business. However, the demand for our products may decrease if we are not able to develop and offer products that can address the regulatory challenges and compliance obligations facing our customers.
13
Our products are used to assist clinical decision-making and provide information about patient medical histories and treatment plans, and if these products fail to provide accurate and timely information, our customers could assert claims against us that could result in substantial cost to us, harm our reputation in the industry and cause demand for our products to decline
We provide products that assist clinical decision-making and relate to patient medical histories and treatment plans. If these products fail to provide accurate and timely information, customers could assert liability claims against us. Litigation with respect to liability claims, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost to us, divert management’s attention from operations and decrease market acceptance of our products. We attempt to limit by contract our liability for damages arising from negligence, errors or mistakes. In addition, we require that our customers approve all system rules and protocols. Despite these precautions, the limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors or omissions. However, this coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or may not be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims against us. In addition, the insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. One or more large claims could exceed our available insurance coverage.
Highly complex software products such as ours often contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as updates and new versions are released. It is particularly challenging for us to test our products because it is difficult to simulate the wide variety of computing environments in which our customers may deploy them. Despite extensive testing, from time to time we have discovered defects or errors in our products. Defects, errors or difficulties could cause delays in product introductions and shipments, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources, require design modifications or decrease market acceptance or customer satisfaction with our products. In addition, despite testing by us and by current and potential customers, errors may be found after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in loss of or delay in market acceptance.
If we undertake additional acquisitions, they may be disruptive to our business and could have an adverse effect on our future operations and the market price of our common stock
An important element of our business strategy has been expansion through acquisitions. Since 1997, we have completed eight acquisitions. Any future acquisitions would involve a number of risks, including the following:
• | The anticipated benefits from any acquisition may not be achieved. The integration of acquired businesses requires substantial attention from management. The diversion of the attention of management and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could hurt our business. | |
• | In future acquisitions, we could issue additional shares of our capital stock, incur additional indebtedness or pay consideration in excess of book value, which could have a dilutive effect on future net income, if any, per share. | |
• | New business acquisitions must be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. These acquisitions may generate significant intangible assets and result in substantial related amortization charges to us. |
If we fail to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified technical, marketing, sales and management personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy could be impaired
Our success depends, in significant part, upon the continued services of our key technical, marketing, sales and management personnel and on our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees. Competition for these employees is intense. In addition, the process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business strategy can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. We believe that our ability to implement our strategic goals depends to a
14
Changing customer requirements could decrease the demand for our products, which could harm our business and decrease our revenues
The market for our products and services is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards and new product introductions and enhancements that may render existing products obsolete or less competitive. As a result, our position in the healthcare information technology market could erode rapidly due to unforeseen changes in the features and functions of competing products, as well as the pricing models for such products. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to enhance our existing products and services, particularly our ability to continue to release our products onto the .Net Framework under the SunriseXA™ initiative, and to develop and introduce new products and services to meet changing customer requirements. The process of developing products and services such as those we offer is extremely complex and is expected to become increasingly complex and expensive in the future as new technologies are introduced. If we are unable to enhance our existing products or develop new products to meet changing customer requirements, demand for our products could suffer.
We depend on licenses from third parties for rights to the technology used in several of our products, and if we are unable to continue these relationships and maintain our rights to this technology, our business could suffer
We depend upon licenses for some of the technology used in our products from a number of third-party vendors, including Computer Corporation of America, Computer Associates, Oracle Corporation and Microsoft. Most of these licenses expire within one to five years, can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. We may not be able to continue using the technology made available to us under these licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we may have to discontinue, delay or reduce product shipments until we obtain equivalent technology, which could hurt our business. Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive. Our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us. In addition, if our vendors choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future or are unsuccessful in their continued research and development efforts, particularly with regard to Microsoft, we may not be able to modify or adapt our own products.
Our products rely on our intellectual property, and any failure by us to protect our intellectual property, or any misappropriation of it, could enable our competitors to market products with similar features, which could reduce demand for our products
We are dependent upon our proprietary information and technology. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation. The laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. Also, despite the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our products, reverse engineer our products or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In some limited instances, customers can access source-code versions of our software, subject to contractual limitations on the permitted use of the source code. Although our license agreements with these customers attempt to prevent misuse of the source code, the possession of our source code by third parties increases the ease and likelihood of potential misappropriation of such software. Furthermore, others could independently develop technologies similar or superior to our technology or design around our proprietary rights. In addition, infringement or invalidity claims or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims could be asserted or prosecuted against us. Regardless of the validity of any claims, defending against these claims could result in significant costs and diversion of our resources. The assertion of infringement claims could also result in injunctions preventing us from distributing products. If any claims or actions are asserted against us,
15
We face litigation that could force us to pay significant damages and could distract our management team
Our Company and three of our officers were named in seven complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division, or the District Court, by purported shareholders of the Company over the months of July through September 2002. Each complaint individually sought class certification and monetary damages for alleged violations of the federal securities laws. On February 4, 2003, the District Court issued an order consolidating all seven cases into one single case and appointing two persons and one entity to serve as lead plaintiffs. Although we believe that these actions are without merit, we cannot assure you that they will not, if successful, require that we pay substantial damages in excess of existing insurance coverage. Regardless of the outcome of these matters, we might incur substantial defense costs, and defending the actions may cause a diversion of management time and attention.
Provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids that a stockholder may believe is desirable, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result
Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 4,900,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors can fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition of our company. The issuance of preferred stock may result in the loss of voting control to other stockholders. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. In August 2000, our board of directors adopted a shareholder rights plan under which we issued preferred stock purchase rights that would adversely affect the economic and voting interests of a person or group that seeks to acquire us or a 15% or more interest in our common stock without negotiations with our board of directors.
Our charter documents contain additional anti-takeover devices including:
• | only one of the three classes of directors is elected each year; | |
• | the ability of our stockholders to remove directors without cause is limited; | |
• | the right of stockholders to act by written consent has been eliminated; | |
• | the right of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders has been eliminated; and | |
• | advance notice must be given to nominate directors or submit proposals for consideration at stockholder meetings; |
Section 203 of the Delaware corporate statute may inhibit potential acquisition bids for our company. We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware corporate statute, which regulate corporate acquisitions. Delaware law will prevent us from engaging, under specified circumstances, in a business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder unless our board of directors or a supermajority of our uninterested stockholders agree. For purposes of Delaware law, a business combination includes a merger or consolidation involving us and the interested stockholder and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, Delaware law defines an interested stockholder as any holder beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the holder.
These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control transaction. They could also have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our common stock. As a result, these provisions may prevent the market price of our common stock from increasing substantially in response to actual or rumored takeover attempts. These provisions may also prevent changes in our management.

During July 1999, we invested in HEALTHvision, Inc., or HEALTHvision, a Dallas-based, privately held internet healthcare company, in conjunction with VHA, Inc. and investment entities affiliated with General Atlantic Partners, LLC. HEALTHvision provides Internet solutions to hospital organizations to assist them in improving patient care in the local communities they serve. We purchased 3,400,000 shares of common stock for $34,000, which at the time represented 34% of the outstanding common stock on an if-converted basis. As of December 31, 2002, our shares represented approximately 28% of the common stock of HEALTHvision on an if-converted basis. We account for our investment in HEALTHvision using the equity method of accounting. Due to losses recognized under the equity method, the recorded balance of the investment in HEALTHvision was $0 as of December 31, 2002. In connection with our relationship with HEALTHvision, we have entered into a joint marketing arrangement under which both organizations agreed to jointly market products and services to their customers. Under this agreement, we paid HEALTHvision $2.2 million during 2002 for the sale of products and services and owed HEALTHvision $432,000 as of December 31, 2002. Also, during 2002, we earned revenues from HEALTHvision of $1.0 million for hosting and other related services and had accounts receivable due from HEALTHvision of $353,000 at December 31, 2002. Additionally, we have a note receivable from HEALTHvision of $293,000 as of December 31, 2002, bearing interest at the prime rate, with repayments due quarterly beginning March 31, 2004. Our Chairman Emeritus, Harvey J. Wilson, serves as co-chairman of HEALTHvision. We are not required to provide funding to HEALTHvision and have made no guarantees on their behalf.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect the reported amount of revenue and other significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. These significant accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and software development. Please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position, or SOP, No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9 and clarified by Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. SOP No 97-2, as amended, generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements.
21
Our contractual arrangements are evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis and often require judgment and estimates that affect the timing of revenue recognized in our statements of operations. Specifically, we may be required to make judgments about:
• | whether the fees associated with our products and services are fixed or determinable; | |
• | whether or not collection of our fees is reasonably assured; | |
• | whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software product; | |
• | whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage-of-completion method; and | |
• | whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our products and services. |
We generally contract under multiple element arrangements, which include software license fees, hardware and services including implementation, consulting and software maintenance. Under these arrangements, where vendor specific objective evidence exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “residual method.” Under the residual method, we allocate revenue to each element in a multiple element arrangement based on the element’s respective fair value, with the fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. For arrangements in which vendor specific objective evidence does not exist for each element, including specified upgrades, revenue is deferred and not recognized until delivery of all of the elements without vendor specific objective evidence has occurred.
We enter into long-term multiple element arrangements in which we provide our customers with comprehensive technology solutions. These arrangements typically include multiple software products (including the right to future products within the suites purchased), implementation and consulting services, maintenance, and, where desired by the customer, outsourcing and remote hosting services. These contracts generally provide for monthly or annual payments over the term of the contracts, which typically range from seven to ten years. We generally recognize revenues under these arrangements on a monthly basis evenly over the term of the contract. During 2002, we began to enter into arrangements that consist of fees for a multi-year, time-based software license, hardware and services including implementation, consulting and software maintenance. The Company recognizes the revenue under these arrangements in accordance with SOP No. 97-2, including the AICPA Software Revenue Recognition Task Force Technical Practice Aid 5100.54. During the transition to these new contracts, we expect our operating results to reflect lower revenues and cash flows. However, we believe that these new contracting options will provide for more predictable revenues over the term of the arrangement.
For arrangements bundled with services and maintenance where such services are considered essential to the functionality of the software and provide for payments upon the achievement of implementation milestones, we recognize revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, following the guidance in the AICPA Statement of Position No. 81-1, or SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recognized based upon the proportion of labor hours incurred in relation to the total labor hours estimated under the agreement. Determining factors for percentage-of-completion include the nature of services required and the provision for payments of software and services upon the achievement of implementation milestones. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue and profit are recognized throughout the term of the contract, based upon estimates of the total labor hours to be incurred and revenues to be generated throughout the term of the contract. Changes in estimates of total labor hours and the related effect on the timing of revenues and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. Accordingly, changes in these estimates could occur and could have a material effect on our operating results in the period of change.
Remote hosting and outsourcing services are marketed under long-term arrangements generally over periods of five to ten years. Revenues from these arrangements are recognized as the services are performed.
22
Software support and maintenance fees are marketed under annual and multi-year arrangements and are recognized as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term. Hardware sales are generally recognized upon delivery to the customer.
Deferred revenue consists of payments received for which the revenue has not yet been recognized in accordance with the above revenue recognition policies. Long-term deferred revenue, at December 31, 2002, represents amounts received from license fees, maintenance and other services to be earned after December 31, 2003.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In evaluating the collectibility of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors including a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations to us, as well as general factors, such as the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. Based on these assessments, we record both specific and general reserves for bad debt to reduce the related receivables to the amount we ultimately expect to collect from customers. If circumstances related to specific customers change or economic conditions worsen such that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate of the recoverability of our accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
At each balance sheet date, we perform a detailed assessment of our capitalized software development costs to be marketed which includes a review of, among other factors, projected revenues, customer demand requirements, product lifecycle, changes in software and hardware technologies and product development plans. Based on this analysis, we record adjustments, when appropriate, to reflect the net realizable value of our capitalized software development costs. The estimates of expected future revenues generated by the software, the remaining economic life of the software, or both, could change, materially affecting the carrying value of capitalized software development costs as well as our consolidated operating results in the period of change.
Revenues
Revenues are derived from the sale of systems and services, which include the licensing of software, software and hardware maintenance, implementation and training, remote hosting, outsourcing, networking services and consulting, and from the sale of computer hardware. Our products and services are generally sold to customers pursuant to contracts that range in duration from three to ten years.
Costs of Revenues
The principal costs of systems and services revenues are salaries, benefits and related overhead costs for implementation, remote hosting and outsourcing personnel. Other significant costs of systems and services revenues are the amortization of capitalized software development costs, acquired technology and a network services intangible asset. Capitalized software development costs are amortized generally over three years on a straight-line basis commencing upon general release of the related product or based on the ratio that current revenues bear to total anticipated revenues for the applicable product. Acquired technology is amortized over three to five years based upon the estimated economic life of the underlying asset, and the remaining balance will be fully amortized during 2003. The network services intangible asset, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, became fully depreciated in March 2001. Cost of revenues related to hardware sales includes only our cost to acquire the hardware from the manufacturer.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, commissions and related overhead costs. Other costs include expenditures for marketing programs and events, public relations, trade shows, advertising and related communications.
23
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related overhead as well as consultants associated with our design, development and testing of new products. We capitalize certain software development costs subsequent to attaining technological feasibility. These costs are amortized as an element of cost of systems and services revenues.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related overhead costs for administration, executive, finance, legal, human resources, purchasing and internal systems personnel, as well as accounting and legal fees and expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
We depreciate the costs of our tangible capital assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which generally range from three to seven years. Acquisition-related intangible assets, which primarily consisted of the value of ongoing customer relationships and goodwill, have been amortized based upon their estimated economic lives at the time of the acquisition, and have therefore varied among acquisitions. The acquired customer relationships became fully amortized in January of 2002. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142, our amortization of goodwill ceased as of January 1, 2002, leaving a recorded balance of $454,000 of goodwill as of December 31, 2001. At least on an annual basis, we conduct an impairment review of our remaining goodwill balance. As of December 31, 2002, there was no impairment of the remaining goodwill balance.
Restructuring Charge
During 2000, we initiated and completed a restructuring of our operations. This restructuring rationalized employee headcount after we completed the integration of our acquisitions. Additionally, we consolidated our research and development and implementation functions. Charges in connection with this restructuring in 2000 totaled $1.2 million.
Taxes
As of December 31, 2002, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $153.2 million. The carryforwards expire in varying amounts through 2022 and are subject to certain restrictions. Based on evidence then available, we did not record a benefit for the resulting net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, because we believed it was more likely than not that we would not realize our net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our total net deferred tax asset.
Results of Operations
2002 Compared to 2001
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased $21.6 million, or 9.0%, to $218.1 million, from $239.7 million for 2001. Systems and services revenues decreased $20.0 million, or 8.9%, to $203.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, from $223.2 million for 2001. The decrease in systems and services revenues in 2002 was primarily a result of minimal software license fees in the third and fourth quarters of 2002. The decrease in license fees was the result of a shortfall in new sales bookings during the third quarter of 2001 and the second quarter of 2002, which negatively impacted revenues during the last three quarters of 2002. Additionally, the decrease was related to a change in contracting mix in the last two quarters of 2002, in which we began to predominantly contract under arrangements that provide for payments to be spread more evenly over the term of the contract, as compared to our historical contracting methods. Since the third quarter of 2002, the majority of our contracts have been executed under these types of arrangements. As the
24
However, we believe that these new contracting options will provide for more predictable revenues over the terms of the arrangements. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company began an initiative to expand the sales and marketing functions. Under this initiative the company’s sales and marketing team has grown from approximately 190 at December 31, 2001 to more than of 260 at December 31, 2002, including the addition of a new executive vice president responsible for all sales activities and other key management positions. This program was implemented to increase the market presence of our sales organization and enhance the market awareness of our company and its products and services. During this expansion, the Company’s sales and marketing organization experienced considerable change and administrative disruption, which negatively impacted the closing of new contracts during the second quarter of 2002.
Hardware revenues decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 10.0%, to $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, from $16.5 million for 2001. The decrease in hardware revenues in 2002 was primarily due to decreased shipments under contracts entered into in 2001 and 2002. The lower shipments were primarily attributable to a higher percentage of new contracts being remote hosting and outsourcing as well as the shortfall in bookings during the second quarter of 2002.
Total cost of revenues decreased approximately $6.5 million, or 4.7%, to $131.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2002, from $137.8 million for 2001. Cost of systems and services revenues decreased approximately $5.3 million, or 4.2%, to $119.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $124.3 million for 2001. However, as a percentage of total revenues, total cost of revenues increased to 60.2% in 2002, compared to 57.5% for 2001. Likewise, cost of systems and services revenues increased to 58.6% of systems and services revenues in 2002, compared to 55.7% for 2001. These costs decreased primarily due to lower amortization of acquisition related acquired technology and network services assets, which amounted to $16.6 million for 2001 compared to $2.9 million for 2002, as a result of certain assets becoming fully amortized. These reductions were partially offset by various other factors including higher software royalties and payroll related costs, in particular medical insurance. Additionally, amortization of capitalized software development costs increased to $6.3 million in 2002, compared to $4.5 million for 2001, as a result of certain new products, such as new releases of our Sunrise suite, including SunriseXA™, becoming available for general release. Furthermore, during 2002 we incurred incremental costs of $1.6 million related to additional obligations arising from contracts assumed in prior acquisitions.
Cost of hardware revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 9.6%, to $12.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $13.6 million for 2001. As a percentage of hardware revenues, cost of hardware revenues increased slightly to 82.6% in 2002, compared to 82.2% for 2001. The decrease in cost of hardware revenues for 2002 was directly attributable to the decreased shipments discussed above.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $10.5 million, or 24.5%, to $53.2 million, or 24.4% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, from $42.7 million, or 17.8% of total revenues, for 2001. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to the program we initiated, during the fourth quarter of 2001, to significantly expand the size of our sales and marketing organization. This program is expected to continue to result in higher expenses. Additionally, there was an increase in expenditures for marketing events held in 2002, as compared to 2001.
Research and development expenses increased $9.2 million, or 24.8% to $46.2 million, or 21.2% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $37.0 million, or 15.5% of total revenues, for 2001. The increase in research and development expenses was due primarily to an initiative we implemented in the fourth quarter of 2001. This program accelerates the migration onto the Microsoft .NET platform for our SunriseXA™ products. This initiative, which increased the number of employees in our product delivery organization, which include research and development, from 645, as of December 31, 2001, to 731 employees, as of December 31, 2002, is expected to result in continued heightened research and development expenses. The percentage of research and development expenditures capitalized for the year ended December 31, 2002
25
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.1 million, or 21.0% to $12.4 million, or 5.7% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $10.3 million, or 4.3% of total revenues, for 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of higher legal expenses, primarily related to the shareholder litigation, and higher insurance costs.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $5.4 million, or 38.6%, to $8.5 million, or 3.9% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, from $13.9 million, or 5.8% of total revenues, for 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of lower acquisition related amortization, which amounted to $0.2 million in 2002, compared to $6.7 million in 2001. This decline related to the completion of amortization of certain intangibles, which became fully amortized during the fourth quarter of 2001, as well as the adoption of SFAS 142, which eliminated the amortization of goodwill. The decrease in amortization was partially offset by higher depreciation of fixed assets purchased during 2001 and 2002.
Pooling and transaction costs in 2001 related to the completion of the integration of one of our acquisitions for approximately $0.5 million less than previously estimated.
Interest income decreased $2.0 million to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, from $6.0 million for 2001. This decrease was a result of significantly lower yields, due to lower interest rates, on our cash and cash equivalents in 2002, compared to 2001. The effect of the lower interest rates was only partially offset by higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents throughout 2002, compared to 2001. Cash and cash equivalents increased during 2002 primarily from cash generated from operating activities.
As a result of these factors, we had net loss of $29.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to a net income of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.
2001 Compared to 2000
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased $18.4 million, or 8.3%, to $239.7 million, from $221.3 million for 2000. Systems and services revenues increased approximately $15.0 million, or 7.2%, to $223.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $208.2 million for 2000. The increase in systems and services revenues in 2001 was primarily attributable to revenues generated under our comprehensive solutions offerings, which we began to offer during the second quarter of 2000, and other new contracted business. The increase in 2001 revenues was also contributed to by improvements we made in our product delivery area, which includes research and development, implementation and customer support. These functions were consolidated under one management team in 2000 to help improve all aspects of the product delivery cycle. Significant investments were made in this area to standardize the development, implementation and ongoing support of our products. These investments, among other things, helped shorten the product development and implementation cycles while improving quality in each area.
Hardware revenues increased $3.4 million, or 26.1%, to $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $13.1 million for 2000. The increase in hardware revenues in 2001 was primarily due to increased shipments under contracts entered into in 2000 and 2001.
Total cost of revenues decreased approximately $17.7 million, or 11.4%, to $137.8 million, or 57.5% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $155.5 million, or 70.3% of total revenues, for 2000. Cost of systems and services revenues decreased $20.9 million, or 14.4%, to $124.3 million, or 55.7% of systems and services revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $145.2 million, or 69.7% of systems and services revenues, for 2000. These costs decreased primarily as a result of the realization of integration synergies and the restructurings discussed above, which resulted in lower salaries and payroll related expenses, including medical insurance and travel. Additionally, as mentioned above, we reorganized the implementation organization to improve operating processes and procedures. In connection with the improvements related to the reorganization, we reduced the usage of outside consultants resulting in lower
26
Cost of hardware revenues increased $3.2 million, or 31.1%, to $13.6 million, or 82.2% of hardware revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $10.4 million, or 79.0% of hardware revenues, for 2000. The increase in cost of hardware revenues for 2001 was directly attributable to higher hardware revenues and lower margins due to pricing pressure in the hardware sector.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.6 million, or 6.4%, to $42.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $40.1 million, for 2000. However, as a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses declined slightly from 18.1% to 17.8%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for 2001 was primarily due to an increase in commissions resulting from an increase in new contracted business as well as the program we initiated, during the fourth quarter of 2001, to significantly expand the size of our sales and marketing organization.
Research and development expenses were $37.0 million, or 15.5% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $37.4 million, or 16.9% of total revenues, for 2000. The decrease in research and development expenses for 2001 was due primarily to the realization of integration synergies and the restructuring. The percentage of research and development expenditures capitalized for 2001 was 15.7%, compared to 14.6% for 2000. As a result of certain products becoming available for general release, amortization of capitalized software development costs, which is included in cost of systems and services revenues, increased by $1.6 million to $4.5 million for 2001, compared to $2.9 million for 2000. Research and development expenses that were capitalized were $6.4 million and $6.9 million for 2000 and 2001, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were $10.3 million, or 4.3% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $10.4 million, or 4.7% of total revenues, for 2000.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, or 3.4%, to $13.9 million, or 5.8% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $13.4 million, or 6.1% of total revenues, for 2000. The increase was primarily the result of depreciation of fixed assets purchased during 2001 partially offset by lower amortization of goodwill related to the HealthVISION acquisition. The amortization of goodwill related to the HealthVISION acquisition, which became fully amortized in 2001, amounted to $4.0 million and $3.7 million for 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Pooling and transaction costs decreased $2.4 million to ($0.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $1.9 million for 2000. During 2001, we completed the integration of one of our acquisitions for approximately $0.5 million less than previously estimated. The transaction costs during 2000 were primarily the result of costs associated with the abandoned transactions with Shared Medical Systems Corp., or SMS, and Neoforma.com, Inc., or Neoforma.
During 2000, the Company initiated and completed a restructuring of its operations. This restructuring rationalized employee headcount following the Company’s completion of the integration of its prior acquisitions. Additionally, the Company consolidated its research and development and implementation functions. Charges in connection with this restructuring totaled $1.2 million.
Other income recorded during the year ended December 31, 2000 related to a realized gain on the sale of our investment in SMS of $4.5 million, which was offset in part by a loss on sale of our investment in equity securities.
Interest income increased $4.9 million to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $1.1 million for 2000. This increase was due to significantly higher balances of cash and cash equivalents
27
As a result of these factors, we had net income of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to a net loss of $34.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Public Offering
During January 2001, we completed a follow-on public offering of 5,750,000 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $123.2 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2002, operating activities provided $32.2 million of cash, primarily as a result of cash collected from customers, partially offset by increased sales and marketing and research and development costs. Investing activities used $21.7 million of cash, primarily for the purchase of fixed assets and the funding of software development costs. Financing activities provided $4.0 million of cash, as a result of the exercise of stock options and the purchase of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.
As of December 31, 2002, our principal source of liquidity is our balance of $183.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Our future capital requirements will depend upon a number of factors, including the rate of growth of our sales and the timing and level of research and development activities. As of December 31, 2002, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash generated from our future operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements at least through 2003.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. It nullifies the guidance in EITF Issue 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” Under EITF 94-3, an entity recognized a liability for an exit cost on the date that the entity committed itself to an exit plan. In SFAS 146, the Board acknowledges that an entity’s commitment to a plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 became effective for exit or disposal activities that were initiated after December 31, 2002.
28
In November 2002, the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” or the Issue. The guidance in this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2003. The Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the Issue addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one earnings process and, if it does, how to divide the arrangement into separate units of accounting consistent with the identified earnings processes for revenue recognition purposes. The Issue also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. We currently follow the appropriate accounting pronouncement as discussed in our Revenue Recognition policy note and anticipate that the Issue will have no impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation clarifies the requirements of SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” relating to guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. This interpretation is intended to improve the comparability of financial reporting by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with a separately identified premium and guarantees issued without a separately identified premium. The interpretation’s provisions for initial recognition and measurement are required on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of both interim and annual periods that ended after December 15, 2002. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of this interpretation and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We will adopt the remaining provisions on January 1, 2003 and believe that this Interpretation will not have a material impact on our financial position, results or operations, or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an Amendment to SFAS 123.” SFAS 148 provides two additional transition methods for entities that adopt the preferable method of accounting for stock based compensation. Further, the statement requires disclosure of comparable information for all companies regardless of whether, when, or how an entity adopts the preferable, fair value based method of accounting. These disclosures are now required for interim periods in addition to the traditional annual disclosure. The amendments to SFAS 123, which provides for additional methods, are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002, although earlier application is permitted. The amendments to the disclosure requirements are required for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. We anticipate that we will adopt the additional disclosure requirements in our interim and annual filings of SFAS 148 and will continue to account for stock based compensation under APB No. 25.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that possess certain characteristics. The interpretation requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We do not have any ownership in any variable interest entities as of December 31, 2002. We will apply the consolidation requirement of the interpretation in future periods if we should own any interest in any variable interest entity.
29
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We do not currently use derivative financial instruments. We generally buy investments with maturities of 90 days or less. Based upon the nature of our investments, we do not expect any material loss from our investments.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates, however, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We account for cash equivalents and marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115. “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value.
We do not currently enter into foreign currency hedge transactions. Through December 31, 2002, foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
and the Stockholders of Eclipsys Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index on page 31 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eclipsys Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index on page 31 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in note 2, the Company adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as of January 1, 2002.

ECLIPSYS CORPORATION
1. Organization and Description of Business
Eclipsys Corporation (“Eclipsys”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a healthcare information technology company. Eclipsys designs and offers a comprehensive package of software applications and services that together enable providers in a variety of healthcare settings to improve the effectiveness of their operations. Eclipsys’ advanced software solutions and services assist healthcare organizations (HCOs) in improving their outcomes by augmenting the quality of care and the level of patient satisfaction, reducing costs and enhancing revenues. Eclipsys’ products perform the core information technology functions required by healthcare organizations and other healthcare providers throughout the healthcare enterprise. Eclipsys’ services offerings include consulting, outsourcing, remote hosting, networking technologies and other related services.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Eclipsys and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its business as one reporting segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant potential differences relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method, the amounts recorded for capitalized software development costs and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. See discussion of EITF Issue 01-14, under New Accounting Pronouncements, herein.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are derived from licensing of computer software, software and hardware maintenance, remote hosting and outsourcing, training, implementation assistance, consulting and the sale of computer hardware. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”) which requires, among other matters, that there be a signed contract evidencing an arrangement exists, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the fee is probable.
37
Systems and Services Revenue
Multiple Element Arrangements
The Company generally contracts under multiple element arrangements, which include software license fees, hardware and services including consulting, implementation and software maintenance for periods of 3 to 7 years. Under these arrangements, where vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, the Company accounts for the delivered elements in accordance with the “residual method” prescribed by the AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect of Certain Transactions.” For arrangements in which VSOE does not exist for each element, including specified upgrades, revenue is deferred and not recognized until delivery of all of the elements without VSOE has occurred. For software license arrangements that are bundled with services and maintenance where services are considered essential to the functionality of the software and provide for payments upon the achievement of implementation milestones, we recognize revenues using the percentage-of-completion method. Under these arrangements, software license fees and implementation fees are recognized over the implementation period, which has typically ranged from 12 to 24 months.
In 2000, the Company began entering into long-term multiple element arrangements in which it provides its customers with comprehensive technology solutions. These arrangements typically include multiple software products (including the right to future products within the suites purchased), implementation and consulting services, maintenance, and, where desired by the customer, outsourcing and remote hosting services. The customer is entitled to these elements throughout the term of the arrangements, which range from seven to ten years. Payments are due yearly, quarterly or monthly over the arrangement term. The Company bundles all fees due under these comprehensive multiple element arrangements and recognizes the revenue ratably over the contract term. Additionally, these contracts may contain provisions by which the Company may earn additional fees based on customer savings or other objectives, as defined in the arrangements. These additional fees are recognized as revenues upon receipt of payment from the customer. In addition, the Company capitalizes related direct costs consisting of third party software costs and direct software implementation costs. These costs are amortized over the term of the arrangement. During 2002, we began to enter into arrangements that consist of fees for a multi-year, time-based software license, hardware and services including implementation, consulting and software maintenance. The Company recognizes the revenue under these arrangements in accordance with SOP No. 97-2, including the AICPA Software Revenue Recognition Task Force Technical Practice Aid 5100.54.
Revenue from other software license fees, which are bundled with long-term maintenance agreements (with terms from 3 to 7 years), is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contracted maintenance period. Other software license fee arrangements relate to certain “add-on” modules sold to customers in the installed base. Because the Company does not sell the “add-on” modules or the associated extended term maintenance elements separately, the entire arrangement fee is recognized as revenue over the contracted maintenance period in accordance with paragraph 12 of SOP 97-2.
Services
Remote hosting and outsourcing services are marketed under long-term arrangements generally over periods from 5 to 10 years. Revenues from these arrangements are recognized as the services are performed.
Software maintenance fees are marketed under annual and multi-year agreements and are recognized as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term. The Company’s software maintenance arrangements include when and if available upgrades and do not contain specific upgrade rights.
38
Implementation revenues and other services, including training and consulting are recognized as services are performed for time and material arrangements and using the percentage of completion method based on labor input measures for fixed fee arrangements. The Company sells these services separately and accordingly has sufficient vendor specific objective evidence of the element to recognize revenue.
Hardware Sales and Maintenance Revenue
Hardware sales are generally recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the customer. Hardware maintenance revenues are billed and recognized monthly over the contracted maintenance term.
Unbilled Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue
The timing of revenue recognition and contractual billing terms under certain multiple element arrangements may not precisely coincide, resulting in the recording of unbilled accounts receivable or deferred revenue. Customer payments are due under these arrangements in varying amounts upon the achievement of certain contractual milestones throughout the implementation periods, which generally range from 12 to 24 months. The current portion of unbilled accounts receivable is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements.
In addition, the Company maintains certain long-term contracts used to finance a portion of certain customer hardware and software fees owed. These arrangements generally provide for payment terms that range from three to five years and carry interest rates that range from 7% to 10%. Such amounts are recorded as non-current unbilled accounts receivables until the customers are billed which is generally on a monthly basis. The non-current portion of amounts due related to these arrangements was $1.8 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying financial statements. The current portion of amounts due related to these arrangements is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements. Accounts receivable was composed of the following as of December 31, (in thousands):

Inventory
Inventory consists of computer equipment, parts and peripherals and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes a portion of its computer software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility. These costs include salaries, benefits, consulting and other directly related costs incurred in connection with programming and testing software products. Capitalization ceases when the products are generally released for sale to customers. Management monitors the net realizable value
39
of all capitalized software development costs to ensure that the investment will be recovered through margins from future sales. Capitalized software development costs were approximately $6.4 million, $6.9 million and $8.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. These costs are amortized over the greater of the ratio that current revenues bear to total and anticipated future revenues for the applicable product or the straight-line method over three years. Amortization of capitalized software development costs, which is included in cost of systems and services revenues, was approximately $2.9 million, $4.5 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software development costs was $14.1 million and $20.4 million as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Acquired Technology and Intangible Assets
Acquired technology and intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The carrying values of acquired technology and intangible assets are reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired and goodwill is reviewed at least annually. This review indicates whether assets will be recoverable based on future expected cash flows. The gross and net amounts for acquired technology, goodwill and intangible assets consisted of the following as of December 31, (in thousands):

Amortization of acquired technology and ongoing customer relationships for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $3,078,000 and $174,000, respectively. The ongoing customer relationships became fully amortized during the first quarter of 2002. The estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):
For year ending 12/31/03 | 267 | ||||
Thereafter | — | ||||
Total | $ | 267 | |||
Amortization of the acquired technology and network services assets is included in the cost of systems and services revenues.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under this new standard, the FASB eliminated amortization of goodwill and created indefinite life intangible assets and established new impairment measurement procedures for goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least once annually. There was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS 142, and amortization ceased as of January 1, 2002, leaving a recorded balance of $454,000 for goodwill as of December 31, 2001 and 2002. The
40
effect of adopting SFAS 142 was to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by $454,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Net income and earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization expense is as follows for the years ended December 31, (in thousands, except earnings per share):

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method, and deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and tax carry-forwards given the provisions of the enacted tax laws.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. Under this method, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the estimated market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Accordingly, the Company provides the additional disclosures required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.”
The Company has adopted the disclosure only provision of FAS 123. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option grants described above been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2000, 2001 and 2002, consistent with the provisions of FAS 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per
41
share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share data):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2000, 2001 and 2002: dividend yield of 0% for all years, risk-free interest rate of 5.75% for 2000, 4.27% for 2001 and 3.11% for 2002, expected life of 9.88, 6.81 and 7.43 years based on the plan and volatility of 113% for 2000, 78% for 2001 and 92% for 2002, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Share
For all periods presented, basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share is presented in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share,” which provides for the accounting principles used in the calculation of earnings per share. Basic net (loss) income per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution from assumed conversion of all dilutive securities such as stock options and warrants. Stock options to acquire 9,148,878, 8,006,072 and 9,020,711 shares of common stock at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and warrants to acquire up to 5,160 shares of common stock at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, were the only securities issued which would be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. In 2000 and 2002 the inclusion of stock options and warrants would have been
42
antidilutive due to the net loss reported by the Company and therefore excluded from the calculation. The computations of the basic and diluted per share amounts were as follows for the years ended December 31,:

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s customers operate primarily in the healthcare industry. The Company sells its products and services under contracts with varying terms. The accounts receivable amounts are unsecured. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover credit losses. The Company does not believe that the loss of any one customer would have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
Foreign Currency
The financial position and results of operations of foreign subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the respective countries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses for the year are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the year. Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income or loss but are accumulated and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company has not entered into any hedging contracts during the three-year period ended December 31, 2002.
Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” requires that the total changes in equity resulting from revenue, expenses, and gains and losses, including those that do not affect the accumulated deficit, be reported. Accordingly, those amounts, which are comprised solely of foreign currency translation adjustments, are included in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement supercedes FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.” However, it retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for the
43
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. Impairment of goodwill is not included in the scope of SFAS 144 and will be treated in accordance with the accounting standards established in SFAS 142. According to SFAS 144, long-lived assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing or discontinued operations. The statement applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” for the disposal of segments of a business. The adoption of SFAS 144 has had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In November 2001, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products,” which is a codification of EITF 00-14, 00-22 and 00-25. This issue presumes that consideration from a vendor to a customer or reseller of the vendor’s products is a reduction in the selling prices of the vendor’s product and, therefore, should be characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor’s income statement and could lead to negative revenue under certain circumstances. Revenue reduction is required unless the consideration related to a separate identifiable benefit and the benefit’s fair value can be established. The Company adopted EITF 01-09 effective January 1, 2002, and it had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In January 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred.” This consensus requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred be characterized as revenue in the income statement. The Company adopted EITF 01-14 effective January 1, 2002 and has made the appropriate reclassifications as required by EITF 01-14. The effect of adopting EITF 01-14 was to increase both revenues and expenses by $4,780,000, $2,682,000 and $2,990,000 for 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. It nullifies the guidance in EITF Issue 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” Under EITF 94-3, an entity recognized a liability for an exit cost on the date that the entity committed itself to an exit plan. In SFAS 146, the Board acknowledges that an entity’s commitment to a plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 became effective for exit or disposal activities that were initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“the Issue”). The guidance in this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2003. The Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the Issue addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one earnings process and, if it does, how to divide the arrangement into separate units of accounting consistent with the identified earnings processes for revenue recognition purposes. The Issue also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. We currently follow the appropriate accounting pronouncement as discussed in our Revenue Recognition policy note and anticipate that the Issue will have no impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
44
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation clarifies the requirements of SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” relating to guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. This interpretation is intended to improve the comparability of financial reporting by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with a separately identified premium and guarantees issued without a separately identified premium. The interpretation’s provisions for initial recognition and measurement are required on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of both interim and annual periods that ended after December 15, 2002. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of this interpretation and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We will adopt the remaining provisions on January 1, 2003 and believe that this Interpretation will not have a material impact on our financial position, results or operations, or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure — an Amendment to SFAS 123.” SFAS 148 provides two additional transition methods for entities that adopt the preferable method of accounting for stock based compensation. Further, the statement requires disclosure of comparable information for all companies regardless of whether, when, or how an entity adopts the preferable, fair value based method of accounting. These disclosures are now required for interim periods in addition to the traditional annual disclosure. The amendments to SFAS 123, which provides for additional methods, are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002, although earlier application is permitted. The amendments to the disclosure requirements are required for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. We anticipate that we will adopt the additional disclosure requirements in our interim and annual filings of SFAS 148 and will continue to account for stock based compensation under APB No. 25.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that possess certain characteristics. The interpretation requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We do not have any ownership in any variable interest entities as of December 31, 2002. We will apply the consolidation requirement of the interpretation in future periods if we should own any interest in any variable interest entity.
3. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which generally range from two to seven years. Computer equipment is depreciated over two to five years. Office equipment is depreciated over two to seven years. Purchased software for internal use is amortized over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or the remaining term of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance not considered to
45
substantially lengthen the property and equipment lives are charged to expense as incurred. The balances for property and equipment were as follows as of December 31, (in thousands):
2001 | 2002 | |||||||
Computer equipment | $ | 18,204 | $ | 25,702 | ||||
Office equipment and other | 5,824 | 6,561 | ||||||

Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization | (16,169 | ) | (24,519 | ) | ||||
$ | 21,675 | $ | 26,800 | |||||
Depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment totaled approximately $5.7 million, $6.7 million and $8.4 million in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
4. Stockholders’ Equity
Restricted Stock Grant
On July 15, 2002, Mr. Paul Ruflin joined the Company as its Chief Executive Officer and President. Under his employment arrangement with the Company, Mr. Ruflin received a restricted stock grant effective July 15, 2002 of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to a five-year vesting schedule, plus an option to purchase 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $7.50, with vesting over a five-year period. During 2002, stock compensation related to this restricted stock grant amounted to $103,000 and as of December 31, 2002, the Company had unearned stock compensation of $1,021,000 recorded in stockholders’ equity.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
The Company has available for issuance, 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As discussed below under “Shareholder Rights Plan” the Board has designated 100,000 of the 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Company has a balance of 4,900,000 authorized shares of undesignated preferred stock (the “Undesignated Preferred”). The liquidation, voting, conversion and other related provisions of the Undesignated Preferred will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance. Currently, there are no outstanding shares.
Shareholder Rights Plan
On July 26, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 9, 2000. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share, at a Purchase Price of $65.00 in cash, subject to adjustment. The Rights will initially trade together with the Eclipsys Common Stock and will not be exercisable. If a person or group (other than an exempt person) acquires 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Eclipsys Common Stock, the Rights generally will become exercisable and allow the holder (other than the 15% purchaser) to purchase shares of Eclipsys Common Stock at a 50% discount to the market price. The effect will be to discourage acquisitions of 15% or more of Eclipsys Common Stock without negotiations with the Board. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement dated as of July 26, 2000 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Fleet National Bank, as Rights Agent. The Board
46
has designated 100,000 of the 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
Secondary Offering of Common Stock
On January 23, 2001, the Company completed a follow-on public offering for 5,750,000 shares of its common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $123.2 million.
5. Proposed Merger
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded a gain on its investment in Shared Medical Systems Corp. (“SMS”) of approximately $4.5 million. The investment was made in connection with a proposed merger with SMS that was not consummated. In connection with the proposed merger, the Company recorded transaction costs of approximately $50,000.
On March 30, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to merge with Neoforma.com, Inc. (“Neoforma”) of Santa Clara, California. Neoforma is a provider of business-to-business e-commerce services in the medical products, supplies and equipment industry. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company and Neoforma agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement between them without the payment of a termination fee. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the proposed merger were approximately $1.9 million.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $153.2 million. The carryforwards expire in varying amounts through 2022. Of this amount, $40.4 million relate to stock option tax deductions, which will be tax-effected and the benefit credited as additional paid-in-capital when realized. Additionally, the Company has Canadian net operating loss carryovers of approximately $5.9 million that expire in varying amounts through 2009.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and the benefits from, net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. The Company experienced an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code in November 1998. As a result of the ownership change, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $16 million at November 1998, which were incurred prior to the date of the change, are subject to annual limitations on their future use. As of December 31, 2002, a valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets that management does not believe are more likely than not to be realized.

7. Employee Benefit Plans
1996 Stock Option Plan
In April 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted the 1996 Stock Plan (the “1996 Stock Plan”). The 1996 Stock Plan, as amended, provided for grants of stock options, awards of Company stock free of any restrictions and opportunities to make direct purchases of restricted stock of the Company. The 1996 Stock Plan allowed for the issuance of options or other awards to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Stock Plan, a committee of the Board was authorized to grant awards to employees and non-employees and establish vesting terms. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. No additional options or other awards may be granted under the 1996 Stock Plan.
1998 Stock Incentive Plan
In January 1998, the Board adopted the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provided for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards or unrestricted stock awards. No additional options or other awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan.
1999 Stock Incentive Plan
In February 1999, the Board adopted the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”). The 1999 Plan provided for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, or other stock-based awards. No additional options or other awards may be granted under the 1999 Plan.
2000 Stock Incentive Plan
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on May 8, 2002, the shareholders voted to approve the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, 1998 Stock Incentive Plan and Amended and Restated 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to reflect an increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under all of the Company’s stock plans (the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1996 Stock Plan) from 12,000,000 to 15,000,000. There were 2,194,120 shares available for future issuance under all of the Company’s stock plans as of December 31, 2002. A summary of stock options transactions were as follows during the years ended December 31,:

Employee Savings Plan
During 1997, the Company established a Savings Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), whereby employees may contribute a percentage of their compensation, not to exceed the maximum amount allowable under the Code. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may elect to make matching contributions, as defined in the Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, the Board authorized matching contributions totaling $801,000, $532,000 and $750,000, respectively.
1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The purchase price of such shares is the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the day the offering commences and 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the day the offering terminates.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Noncancelable Operating Leases
The Company leases its office space and certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases. Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $10.6 million, $11.4 million and $11.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, | ||||
2003 | $ | 10,185 | ||
2004 | 8,244 | |||
2005 | 5,997 | |||
2006 | 5,478 | |||
2007 | 3,885 | |||
Thereafter | 3,270 | |||
$ | 37,059 | |||
Subsequent to December 31, 2002 the Company contracted for a minimum number of hours for airplane charters with a related (note 9). The minimum commitment amounts to $761,000 per year for 2003 through 2005.
Litigation
From July through September 2002, the Company and three of its officers (Messrs. Colletti, Patton and Wilson) were named in seven complaints filed by purported shareholders of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division (the “District Court”). Each complaint seeks certification as a class and monetary damages and alleges that the Company and the named officers violated federal securities laws. The Company believes that the actions are without merit, and intends to conduct a vigorous defense against these allegations.
In September 2002, various parties filed motions to be appointed as lead plaintiffs and to consolidate all of the shareholder suits described above. On February 4, 2003, the District Court issued an order consolidating all seven cases into one single case and appointing the City of Philadelphia Board of Pensions and Retirement, Louis Giannakokas and Norman K. Mielziner to serve as lead plaintiffs (the “Consolidation Order”). The Consolidation Order also sets certain timelines by which responsive pleadings must be filed by the Company and the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated case. Under the Consolidation Order, the lead plaintiffs have until March 31, 2003 to file an amended, consolidated complaint; however, it is our understanding that the plaintiffs are in the process of requesting an extension to this deadline. Once the amended, consolidated complaint is filed, the Company shall have sixty (60) days from such date to answer or move to dismiss the amended complaint.
The Company is involved in other litigation incidental to its business from time to time. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
9. Related Party Transactions
Eclipsys has a policy that all transactions between it and its executive officers, directors and affiliates must be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, these transactions must be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors and by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

The Company leases office space in Boston, Massachusetts from a former stockholder of SDK, who is a current employee. During the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 the Company paid $849,000, $692,000 and $579,000, respectively, under this lease. The lease, which was amended to increase the space at the end of 1999, is noncancelable and expires in 2009.
The Company’s Chairman Emeritus, Harvey J. Wilson, owns a company, which leases an aircraft to a charter company. The charter company provides aircraft charter services to Eclipsys as well other outside parties. Mr. Wilson has no ownership or other interest in the charter company. Eclipsys paid the charter company $412,000, $775,000 and $885,000 in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, for charters using the aircraft owned by Mr. Wilson’s company. Eclipsys also paid the charter company $43,000 and $265,000, in 2001 and 2002, respectively, for charters of other aircraft, not owned by Mr. Wilson’s company. Mr. Wilson’s company received $298,000, $481,000 and $533,000 during 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, from the charter company for these transactions. Subsequent to December 31, 2002 Eclipsys contracted for a minimum number of hours for airplane charters to extend the current pricing terms. The minimum commitment amounts to $761,000 per year for 2003 through 2005.
In July 1999, Eclipsys invested in HEALTHvision, Inc. (“HEALTHvision,”) a Dallas-based, privately held internet healthcare company, in conjunction with VHA, Inc. and investment entities affiliated with General Atlantic Partners, LLC. HEALTHvision provides Internet solutions to hospital organizations to assist them in improving patient care in the local communities they serve. Eclipsys purchased 3,400,000 shares of common stock for $34,000, which at the time represented 34% of the outstanding common stock on an if converted basis. As of December 31, 2002 the Company’s shares represented 28% of the common stock of HEALTHvision on an if converted basis. The Company accounts for the investment in HEALTHvision using the equity method of accounting. Due to losses recognized under the equity method, the recorded balance of the investment in HEALTHvision was $0 as of December 31, 2002. In connection with the Company’s relationship with HEALTHvision, Eclipsys entered into a joint marketing arrangement under which both organizations agreed to jointly market products and services to their customers. Under this agreement, Eclipsys paid HEALTHvision $2,247,000 during 2002 and owed HEALTHvision $432,000 as of December 31, 2002. Also during 2002, the Company earned revenues from HEALTHvision of $1,043,000 for hosting and other related services and had accounts receivable due from HEALTHvision of $353,000 at December 31, 2002. Additionally, the Company has a note receivable from HEALTHvision for $293,000 as of December 31, 2002, bearing interest at the prime rate, with repayments due quarterly beginning March 31, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2002, HEALTHvision, Inc had total revenues of approximately $21.9 million (unaudited) and a net loss of approximately $4.6 million (unaudited) with total assets of approximately $12.2 million (unaudited) as of December 31, 2002. The Company’s Chairman Emeritus, Harvey J. Wilson also serves as co-chairman of HEALTHvision. Eclipsys is not required to provide funding to HEALTHvision and has made no guarantees on their behalf.
The Company has a license agreement with Partners HealthCare System, Inc. (“Partners”). Under the terms of this license, the Company may develop, commercialize, distribute and support certain technology and license it, as well as sell related services, to other healthcare providers and hospitals throughout the world (with the exception of the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area). Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, no sales of products incorporating the licensed technology were made and, consequently, no royalties were paid by the Company pursuant to the license with Partners. The royalty arrangement under the license terminated upon the Company’s initial public offering. After the Company’s initial public offering, the Company sold products incorporating the licensed technology. The Company is obligated to offer to Partners and certain of its affiliates a license for internal use, granted on most favored customer terms, to all new software applications developed by the Company, whether or not derived from the licensed technology, and major architectural changes to the licensed technology. Partners and certain of its affiliates are also entitled to
52
receive internal use licenses, also granted on most favored customer terms, for any changes to any module or application included in the licensed technology requiring at least one person-year of technical effort.
Additionally, as part of the agreement, the Company has provided development services to Partners related to commercializing the intellectual property. Fees paid to the Company for these development services totaled $274,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and were included as a reduction in research and development expenses. No amounts were paid in 2001 and 2002.
In 2001, Partners entered into a contract with the Company for the license of a new software application and related professional services. This new software application consisted of an upgrade to an existing software application that Partners had licensed from Transition Systems, Inc, an entity that was acquired by the Company in December 1998. Under this new contract, Partners paid the Company $954,000 in 2001 and $1,032,000 in 2002. As of December 31, 2002, Partners owed the Company $98,000 related to this new contract. Jay Pieper, a director of the Company, is Vice President of Corporate Development and Treasury Affairs for Partners. Partners was not affiliated with the Company at the time of the negotiation of the Partners license from Transition Systems, Inc.
