QUALITY SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which consist of NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, LLC (“NextGen”), NextGen RCM Services, LLC, Opus Healthcare Solutions, LLC (“Opus”), ViaTrack Systems, LLC (“ViaTrack”), Matrix Management Solutions, LLC ("Matrix"), QSI Management, LLC and Quality Systems India Healthcare Private Limited (“QSIH”) (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information and notes which would be presented were such consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Amounts related to disclosures of March 31, 2013 balances within these interim consolidated financial statements were derived from the aforementioned Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.
References to amounts in the consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except shares and per share data, unless otherwise specified.
Revenue Recognition. The Company generates revenue from the sale of licensing rights to its software products directly to end-users and value-added resellers ("VARs"). The Company also generates revenue from sales of hardware and third-party software, implementation, training, electronic data interchange (“EDI”), post-contract support (maintenance) and other services, including revenue cycle management (“RCM”), performed for clients who license its products.
A typical system contract contains multiple elements of the above items. Revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements is allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements. The fair value of an element is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly or annually depending on the nature of the product or service. The Company generally establishes VSOE for the related undelivered elements based on the bell-shaped curve method. Maintenance VSOE for the Company's largest clients is based on stated renewal rates only if the rate is determined to be substantive and falls within the Company's customary pricing practices.
When evidence of fair value exists for the delivered and undelivered elements of a transaction, discounts for individual elements are aggregated and the total discount is allocated to the individual elements in proportion to the elements' fair value relative to the total contract fair value.
When evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements only, the residual method is used. Under the residual method, the Company defers revenue related to the undelivered elements in a system sale based on VSOE of fair value of each of the undelivered elements and allocates the remainder of the contract price net of all discounts to revenue recognized from the delivered elements. If VSOE of fair value of any undelivered element does not exist, all revenue is deferred until VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element is established or the element has been delivered.
Provided the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable, revenue from licensing rights and sales of hardware and third-party software is generally recognized upon physical or electronic shipment and transfer of title. In certain transactions where collection risk is high, the revenue is deferred until collection occurs or becomes probable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, then the revenue recognized in each period (subject to application of other revenue recognition criteria) will be the lesser of the aggregate of amounts due and payable or the amount of the arrangement fee that would have been recognized if the fees were being recognized using the residual method. Fees which are considered fixed or determinable at the inception of the Company's arrangements must include the following characteristic:
▪ | The fee must be negotiated at the outset of an arrangement and generally be based on the specific volume of products to be delivered without being subject to change based on variable pricing mechanisms such as the number of units copied or distributed or the expected number of users. |
Revenue from implementation and training services is recognized as the corresponding services are performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance period.
Contract accounting is applied where services include significant modification, development or customization.
The Company ensures that the following criteria have been met prior to recognition of revenue:
▪ | the price is fixed or determinable; |
▪ | the customer is obligated to pay and there are no contingencies surrounding the obligation or the payment; |
▪ | the customer's obligation would not change in the event of theft or damage to the product; |
▪ | the customer has economic substance; |
▪ | the amount of returns can be reasonably estimated; and |
▪ | the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance in order to bring about resale of the product by the customer. |
The Company has historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If the Company is able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is recognized, net of an allowance for returns, and these arrangements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire, provided also, that all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.
Revenue related to sales arrangements that include hosting or the right to use software stored on the Company's hardware is recognized in accordance to the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above only if the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software without incurring a significant penalty and it is feasible for the customer to either host the software themselves or through another third-party. Otherwise, the arrangement is accounted for as a service contract in which the entire arrangement is deferred and recognized over the period that the hosting services are being performed.
From time to time, the Company offers future purchase discounts on its products and services as part of its sales arrangements. Such discounts that are incremental to the range of discounts reflected in the pricing of the other elements of the arrangement, that are incremental to the range of discounts typically given in comparable transactions, and that are significant, are treated as an additional element of the contract to be deferred. Amounts deferred related to future purchase options are not recognized until either the customer exercises the discount offer or the offer expires.
RCM service revenue is derived from services fees, which include amounts charged for ongoing billing and other related services, and are generally billed to the customer as a percentage of total collections. The Company does not recognize revenue for services fees until these collections are made, as the services fees are not fixed or determinable until such time.
Revenue is divided into two categories, “system sales” and “maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services.” Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third-party hardware and software and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company's software systems. Revenue in the maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services category includes maintenance, EDI, RCM services, consulting services, annual third-party license fees, hosting services, Software as a Service ("SaaS") fees and other services revenue.
Goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during its first fiscal quarter, referred to as the annual test date. The Company will also test for impairment between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at a reporting-unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. An impairment loss would generally be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit's net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.
The evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment is addressed within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"). ASC 350 permits a company the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to assess the need to proceed to the first step of the two-step impairment test. The qualitative assessment included consideration of factors such as the relative carrying value of net assets for each reporting unit (or Division) as compared to the respective fair values of the reporting units as of the most recent impairment testing (performed as of February 28, 2013 for the Hospital Solutions Division and as of October 31, 2012 for all other divisions), changes in macro-economic variables, changes in the industry in which the Company operates, and relevant company-specific factors. The qualitative assessment concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units exceed their respective net carrying values and, therefore, additional impairment testing was not deemed necessary.
Share-Based Compensation. The following table shows total share-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||

Total share-based compensation | 541 | 964 | |||||
Income tax benefit | (168 | ) | (320 | ) | |||

Recent Accounting Standards. New accounting pronouncements implemented by the Company during the current year or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The new standard requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income by component. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but may have an effect on the required disclosures for future reporting periods.
2. Fair Value Measurements
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013:

___________________________________
(1) Cash equivalents consists of money market funds.
(2) Marketable securities consist of fixed-income securities.
The Company’s contingent consideration liability is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and is adjusted to fair value when the carrying value differs from fair value. Key assumptions include discount rates and probability-adjusted achievement of revenue and strategic targets that are not observable in the market. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the contingent consideration liability is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. The fair values of the contingent consideration liability for Sphere Health Systems, Inc. ("Sphere"), IntraNexus, Inc. ("IntraNexus"), CQI Solutions, Inc. ("CQI"), ViaTrack, and Matrix were estimated based on the probability of achieving certain business milestones and management’s forecast of expected revenues.
The following table presents activity in the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2013:
Total Liabilities | ||||
Balance as of April 1, 2013 | $ | 5,336 | ||
Acquisitions | — | |||
Earnout payments | (62 | ) | ||
Fair value adjustments | 46 | |||
Balance as of June 30, 2013 | $ | 5,320 |
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has certain assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the assets is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, there were no adjustments to fair value of such assets.
3. Goodwill
The Company does not amortize goodwill as it has been determined to have an indefinite useful life.
Goodwill by division consists of the following:
March 31, 2013 | Acquisitions | June 30, 2013 | |||||||||
QSI Dental Division (1) | $ | 7,289 | $ | — | $ | 7,289 | |||||
NextGen Division | 1,840 | — | 1,840 | ||||||||
Hospital Solutions Division | 4,342 | — | 4,342 | ||||||||
RCM Services Division | 32,290 | — | 32,290 | ||||||||
Total goodwill | $ | 45,761 | $ | — | $ | 45,761 |
(1) QSI Dental Division goodwill is presented on a basis consistent with that of the management reporting structures within QSI. For the purposes of testing goodwill for impairment annually and as otherwise may be required, however, the QSI Dental Division goodwill is allocated to all business units that derive cash flows from the products associated with the acquired goodwill. For all periods presented in this report, the allocation resulted in substantially all of such goodwill being ascribed to the NextGen Division.

7. Income Tax
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $6.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 33.0% and 33.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased as compared to the same prior year period due to a net benefit from the federal research and development tax credit, an increase benefit in qualified production activities deduction, and a decreased benefit of current period discrete items.
Uncertain tax positions
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had recorded a liability of $734 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. If recognized, this amount would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. The tax liability for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased from the same prior year period by $320 due to changes in contingent liability reserves and certain tax positions related to acquired companies.
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2012. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or local income tax examinations for tax years before 2008. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.
8. Earnings per Share
The Company provides presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share (“EPS”). Shares discussed below are in thousands.
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||
Net income | $ | 12,945 | $ | 15,497 | |||
Basic net income per share: | |||||||
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Basic | 59,559 | 59,281 | |||||
Basic net income per common share | $ | 0.22 | $ | 0.26 | |||
Net income | $ | 12,945 | $ | 15,497 | |||
Diluted net income per share: | |||||||
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Basic | 59,559 | 59,281 | |||||

Weighted-average shares outstanding — Diluted | 59,572 | 59,388 | |||||
Diluted net income per common share | $ | 0.22 | $ | 0.26 |
The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 1,227 and 692 options to acquire shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.
9. Share-Based Awards
Employee Stock Option Plans
In September 1998, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan (the “1998 Plan”) under which 8,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of options. The 1998 Plan provides that employees, directors and consultants of the Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted options to purchase shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option granted was determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant, and options under the 1998 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Options granted will generally become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which they were granted. Certain option grants to directors became exercisable three months from the date of grant. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 1998 Plan terminated on December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2013, there were 40,000 outstanding options related to the 1998 Plan.
In October 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) under which 4,800,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards, including stock options, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units (including performance options) and other share-based awards. The 2005 Plan provides that employees, directors and consultants of the Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted awards to acquire shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option award shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Plan, and under the 2005 Plan awards expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Options granted will generally become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which they were granted. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 2005 Plan terminates on May 25, 2015, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2013, there were 1,369,609 outstanding options and 2,723,335 shares available for future grant related to the 2005 Plan.
A summary of stock option transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2013 follows:
Number of Shares | Weighted- Average Exercise Price per Share | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | ||||||||||
Outstanding, April 1, 2013 | 1,159,183 | $ | 30.54 | 5.5 | |||||||||

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of share-based compensation with the following assumptions:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 | Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 | |||
Expected life | 4.9 years | 5.0 years | ||
Expected volatility | 43.7% | 41.3% | ||
Expected dividends | 3.9% | 2.4% | ||
Risk-free rate | 1.0% | 0.7% - 0.8% |
The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4.87 and $8.56 per share, respectively.
The Company issues new shares to satisfy option exercises. Based on historical experience of option cancellations, the Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 8.1% and 3.8% for employee options for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 0.0% for director options for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Forfeiture rates are adjusted over the requisite service period when actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, a total of 356,000 options to purchase shares of common stock were granted under the 2005 Plan at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A summary of stock options granted under the 2005 Plan during fiscal years 2014 and 2013 is as follows:
Number of | Vesting | ||||||||||
Option Grant Date | Shares | Exercise Price | Terms (1) | Expires | |||||||

Fiscal year 2013 option grants | 556,500 |
(1) Options vest in equal annual installments on each grant anniversary date commencing one year following the date of grant.
Performance-Based Awards
On May 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved its fiscal year 2014 equity incentive program for certain employees to be awarded options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of options available under the equity incentive program plan is 600,000, of which 210,000 are reserved for the Company’s named executive officers and 390,000 for non-executive employees of the Company. Under the program, executive officers are eligible to receive cash bonuses and options based on meeting certain target increases in revenue, EPS and operating income growth for fiscal year 2014. Under the program, non-executive employees are eligible to receive options based on meeting certain target increases in revenue and EPS growth for fiscal year 2014 and the recommendations of senior management. The options shall be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan, have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant, a term of eight years and vesting in five equal annual installments commencing one year following the date of grant.
Compensation expense associated with the performance based awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans are initially based on the number of options expected to vest after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met. Cumulative adjustments are recorded quarterly to reflect subsequent changes in the estimated outcome of performance-related conditions. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option valuation model and recorded stock compensation expense related to the performance based awards of approximately $92 and $111 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, using the assumptions below.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 | Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 | ||
Expected life | 4.9 years | 5.0 years | |
Expected volatility | 43.5% | 41.7% | |
Expected dividends | 3.7% | 2.5% | |
Risk-free rate | 1.4% | 0.7% |
Non-vested stock option award activity, including employee stock options and performance-based awards, during the three months ended June 30, 2013 is summarized as follows:
Non-Vested Number of Shares | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share | ||||||
Outstanding, April 1, 2013 | 804,340 | $ | 9.89 | ||||
Granted | 356,000 | 4.87 | |||||
Vested | (100,720 | ) | 10.49 | ||||
Forfeited/Canceled | (90,360 | ) | 10.05 | ||||
Outstanding, June 30, 2013 | 969,260 | $ | 7.97 |
As of June 30, 2013, $6,506 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years. This amount does not include the cost of new options that may be granted in future periods or any changes in the Company’s forfeiture percentage. The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,057 and $1,284, respectively.
Restricted Stock
On May 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved its 2014 Director Compensation Program, pursuant to which each non-employee director is to be awarded shares of restricted stock upon election or re-election to the Board of Directors. Additionally, as part of the 2014 equity incentive program, each executive officer received, as a component of his or her base salary, a grant of restricted stock. The shares of restricted stock are awarded under the 2005 Plan. Such shares of restricted stock vest in two equal, annual installments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and are nontransferable for one year following vesting. The weighted-average grant date fair value for the restricted stock was estimated using the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock of approximately $92 and $147 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Restricted stock activity for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is summarized as follows:
Number of Shares | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share | ||||||
Outstanding, April 1, 2013 | 30,385 | $ | 27.09 | ||||
Granted | 23,516 | 20.60 | |||||
Vested | (566 | ) | 34.80 | ||||
Canceled | (3,000 | ) | 24.81 | ||||
Outstanding, June 30, 2013 | 50,335 | $ | 22.96 |
As of June 30, 2013, $785 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. This amount does not include the cost of new restricted stock that may be granted in future periods.
10. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had cash deposits at U.S. banks and financial institutions which exceeded federally insured limits at June 30, 2013. The Company is exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the institutions; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by these institutions.
11. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies
Commitments and Guarantees
The Company's software license agreements include a performance guarantee that the Company's software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 365 days after delivery. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with its performance guarantee or other related warranties and does not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties. Certain arrangements also include performance guarantees related to response time, availability for operational use, and other performance-related guarantees. Certain arrangements also include penalties in the form of maintenance credits should the performance of the software fail to meet the performance guarantees. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with these warranties and does not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties.
The Company has historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If the Company is able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements and all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, revenue is recognized and these arrangements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire, provided also, that all other criteria of revenue recognition have been met.
Certain standard sales agreements contain a money back guarantee providing for a performance guarantee that is already part of the software license agreement as well as training and support. The money back guarantee also warrants that the software will remain robust and flexible to allow participation in the federal health incentive programs. The specific elements of the performance guarantee pertain to aspects of the software, which the Company has already tested and confirmed to consistently meet using the Company's existing software without any modifications or enhancements. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs associated with this guarantee and does not expect to incur significant costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with this guarantee.
The Company's standard sales agreements contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which it shall indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to its software. As the Company has not incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements, the Company believes that its estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these indemnification obligations.
12. Operating Segment Information
The Company has four reportable segments that are evaluated regularly by its chief decision making group (Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Operating segment data is as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Revenue: | ||||||||
QSI Dental Division | $ | 5,151 | $ | 4,953 | ||||
NextGen Division | 81,535 | 86,192 | ||||||
Hospital Solutions Division | 5,467 | 11,365 | ||||||
RCM Services Division | 17,376 | 15,786 | ||||||
Consolidated revenue | $ | 109,529 | $ | 118,296 | ||||
Operating income (loss): | ||||||||
QSI Dental Division | $ | 955 | $ | 469 | ||||
NextGen Division | 29,568 | 28,840 | ||||||
Hospital Solutions Division | (2,594 | ) | 2,347 | |||||
RCM Services Division | 2,840 | 1,853 | ||||||
Unallocated corporate expense | (11,216 | ) | (10,002 | ) | ||||
Consolidated operating income | $ | 19,553 | $ | 23,507 |
Management evaluates performance based upon stand-alone segment operating income. Because the Company does not evaluate performance based upon return on assets at the operating segment level, assets are not tracked internally by segment. Therefore, segment asset information is not presented.
Effective April 1, 2013, the Company reorganized certain overhead related departments to unallocated corporate expense from the operating segments in an effort to centralize shared services functions and to be consistent with the basis in which the decision making group disaggregates financial information. The Company concluded the impact of the reorganization to prior year operating income was not material to the operating segments or unallocated corporate expense and are therefore not restated.
13. Subsequent Events
On July 24, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2013 with an expected distribution date on or about October 4, 2013.

Management Overview
Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate as four business divisions (each, a "Division") which are comprised of: (i) the QSI Dental Division, (ii) the NextGen Division, (iii) the Hospital Solutions Division (formerly Inpatient Solutions) and (iv) the RCM Services Division (formerly Practice Solutions). In fiscal year 2011, we opened a captive entity in India called Quality Systems India Healthcare Private Limited (“QSIH”). We primarily derive revenue by developing and marketing healthcare information systems that automate certain aspects of medical and dental practices, networks of practices such as physician hospital organizations (“PHOs”) and management service organizations (“MSOs”), ambulatory care centers, community health centers and medical and dental schools along with comprehensive systems implementation, maintenance and support and add on complementary services such as revenue cycle management (“RCM”) and electronic data interchange (“EDI”). Our systems and services provide our clients with the ability to redesign patient care and other workflow processes while improving productivity through the facilitation of managed access to patient information. Utilizing our proprietary software in combination with third-party hardware and software solutions, our products enable the integration of a variety of administrative and clinical information operations.
The turbulence in the worldwide economy has impacted almost all industries. While healthcare is not immune to economic cycles, we believe it is more heavily influenced by US-based regulatory and national health projects than by the economic cycles of our economy. The impact of the current economic conditions on our existing and prospective clients has been mixed. While we continue to see organizations that are doing fairly well operationally, some organizations, especially those with a large dependency on Medicaid populations, have been impacted by the challenging financial conditions faced by many state governments. Various factors have had, and are anticipated to continue to have, a meaningful impact on the U.S. healthcare industry, including the Obama Administration's broad healthcare reform efforts (particularly the HITECH portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), the individual state responses to the government-requested Medicaid expansion to address new insureds, and the increasing focus of private businesses on moving their employee health benefit offerings to a more wellness-based health platform.
We have benefited and hope to continue to benefit from the increased demands on healthcare providers for greater efficiency and lower costs, financial incentives from the ARRA to physicians who adopt electronic health records, as well as increased adoption rates for electronic health records and other technology in the healthcare arena. We also believe that healthcare reform and the movement towards pay for performance/quality initiatives will also stimulate demand for robust electronic health record solutions as well as new HIT solutions from bundled billing capabilities to patient engagement and population health management.
While we expect to benefit from the increasing demands for greater efficiency as well as government support for increased adoption of electronic health records, the market for physician based electronic health records software is becoming increasingly saturated while physician group practices are rapidly being consolidated by hospital, insurance payers and other entities. Hospital software providers are leveraging their position with their hospital customers to gain market share with hospital owned physician practices. Insurance providers and large physician groups are also consolidating physician offices creating additional opportunity for ambulatory software providers such as NextGen. Our strategy is to focus addressing upcoming needs of accountable care organizations around interoperability, patient engagements, population health, and data analytics. We believe that our core strength lies in the central role our software products and services play in the delivery of healthcare by the primary physician in an ambulatory setting. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements including ICD-10 and meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments. We believe that the expanded requirements for continued eligibility for incentive payments under meaningful use rules will result in an expanded replacement market for electronic health records software. We intend to continue the development and enhancement of our software solutions to support healthcare reform and the transition from fee for service to pay for performance/quality initiatives such as accountable care organizations. Key elements of our future software development will be to continue to integrate our ambulatory and inpatient products, making our products more intuitive and easy to use, and enhancing our ability to deliver our software over the cloud with the latest technology.
We also want to continue investments in our infrastructure, including but not limited to adding new clients through maintaining and expanding sales, marketing and product development activities and expanding our relationship with existing clients through delivery of add-on and complementary products and services while continuing our gold-standard commitment of service in support of our client satisfaction programs. These investments in our infrastructure will continue while maintaining reasonable expense discipline. We believe that our growing customer base that is using our software on a daily basis is a strategic asset, and we intend to expand our product and service offerings towards this customer base in order to leverage this strategic asset.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial statements and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates (including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, uncollectible accounts receivable, capitalizable software development costs, intangible assets and self-insurance accruals) for reasonableness. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting policies and estimates since the end of fiscal year 2013.
Company Overview
Quality Systems, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1974. Our principal offices are located at 18111 Von Karman Ave., Suite 700, Irvine, California, 92612. We operate on a fiscal year ending on March 31.
The Company was founded with an early focus on providing information systems to dental group practices. This focus area would later become the QSI Dental Division. In the mid-1980s, we capitalized on the increasing focus on medical cost containment and further expanded our information processing systems to serve the ambulatory market. In the mid-1990s, we made two acquisitions that accelerated our penetration of the ambulatory market and formed the basis for the NextGen Division. More recently in the last few years, we acquired several companies, which operate under the Hospital Solutions Division, as part of our strategy to expand into the small and specialty hospital market. Today, we serve the dental, ambulatory, hospital and RCM services markets through our QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division, Hospital Solutions Division and RCM Services Division.
The Divisions have historically operated as stand-alone operations, with each Division maintaining its own distinct product lines, product platforms, development, implementation and support teams and branding. However, there are a growing number of customers who are simultaneously utilizing software or services from more than one of our Divisions. In an effort to encourage this cross selling of our products and services between Divisions, we are in the process of further integrating our ambulatory and inpatient products to provide a more robust and comprehensive platform to offer our customers. The Divisions also share the resources of our “corporate office,” which includes a variety of accounting and other administrative functions.
In September 2012, we announced certain organizational changes to achieve greater efficiency and integration in our operations as well as to enhance our ability to cross sell products and services to our customers. The changes consolidated Sales, Marketing, Information Technology, and Software Development responsibilities into separate Company-wide roles. We also announced the hiring of a Chief Operating Officer, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, responsible for the operations of the Company across all Divisions. We are continuing to evaluate the organizational structure of the Company with the objective to achieve greater synergies and further integration of our products and services.
The QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division and Hospital Solutions Division develop and market software that is designed to automate and streamline a number of the administrative functions required for operating a medical, dental, or hospital practice, such as patient scheduling and billing. It is important to note that since in both the medical and dental environments, practice management software systems have already been implemented by the vast majority of practices, we actively compete for the replacement market. These Divisions also develop and market software that automates patient records in physician practices, community health centers (CHCs) and hospital settings. In this patient records area of our business, we are typically competing to replace paper-based patient record alternatives as opposed to replacing previously purchased systems. The Hospital Solutions Division develops and markets financial management and billing software products, which perform administrative functions required for operating small and specialty hospitals as well as clinical offerings such as multi-disciplinary clinical documentation and computerized physician order entry (CPOE). The RCM Services Division provides technology solutions and outsourcing services to cover the full spectrum of healthcare providers' RCM needs, with a primary focus on outsourced billing and collection services.
In January 2011, QSIH was formed in Bangalore, India to function as our India-based captive to offshore technology application development and business processing services.
We continue to pursue product and service enhancement initiatives within each of our Divisions. The majority of such expenditures are currently targeted to the NextGen and Hospital Solutions Division product lines and client bases.
The following table reflects our reported segment revenue and segment revenue growth by Division for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

QSI Dental Division. The QSI Dental Division, co-located with our corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, focuses on developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental group organizations located throughout the United States. The QSI Dental Division sells additional licenses to its legacy products as existing clients expand their operations, and sells its Web-based SaaS model practice management and clinical software solutions to new customers. This software solution, QSIDental™ Web™, is marketed primarily to multi-location dental group practices in which the QSI Dental Division has historically been a dominant player. Further, QSI Dental sells its Electronic Dental Chart in conjunction with NextGen PM ("Practice Management") and EHR ("Electronic Health Record") and marketed as NextGen EDR (“Electronic Dental Record”) to Federally Qualified Health Centers (“FQHC”) and other safety net entities further defined below.
The QSI Dental Division participates jointly with the NextGen Division in providing software and services to safety-net clinics like FQHCs and other “safety net” health centers, including Public Health Centers, Community Health Centers, Free Clinics, as well as Rural and Tribal Health Centers. FQHCs are community-based organizations and are funded by the federal government, which provide medical and dental services to underprivileged and underserved communities. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in March 2010, reserved $11 billion over a multi-year period for FQHCs, creating unprecedented opportunities for FQHCs growth and the formation of new FQHCs. When combined and used in tandem, NextGen® Ambulatory EHR, NextGen® Electronic Dental Record and NextGen® Practice Management provides a unique product in this marketplace - an integrated patient record accessible by both physicians and dentists. On May 9, 2012, NextGen® EDR version 4.2 was ONC-ATCB certified by the Certification Commission for Health Information (CCHIT®) as a complete EHR and complies with all clinical quality measures for Eligible Providers. The additional software NextGen® EDR version 4.2 relied on to demonstrate compliance was NextGen® Ambulatory EHR version 5.6 SP1.
The QSI Dental Division's legacy practice management software suite uses a UNIX® operating system. It's Clinical Product Suite (“CPS”) can be fully integrated with the client server-based practice management software offered from each of our Divisions. When integrated and delivered with the NextGen® Practice Management solution, CPS is re-branded as NextGen® EDR. CPS/EDR incorporates a wide range of clinical tools including, but not limited to, periodontal charting and digital imaging of X-ray and inter-oral camera images as part of the electronic patient record. The QSI Dental Division also develops, markets, and provides EDI services to dental practices, including electronic submission of claims to insurance providers as well as automated patient statements.
NextGen Division. The NextGen Division, with headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania and a significant location in Atlanta, Georgia, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for ambulatory and dental provider organizations. The NextGen Division's major product categories include the NextGen Ambulatory product suite and NextGen Community Connectivity.
The NextGen Ambulatory product suite streamlines patient care with standardized, real-time clinical and administrative workflows within a physician’s practice, and major product categories include NextGen Electronic Health Records (“NextGenehr”), NextGen Practice Management (“NextGenpm”), NextGen Dashboard, NextGen Mobile and NextGen NextPen. NextGen Community Connectivity consists of NextGen Health Information Exchange (“NextGen HIE,” formerly Community Health Solution), NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen Health Quality Measures (“NextGen HQM”). The NextGen Division also offers hosting services, NextGuard – Data Protection services, and consulting services, such as strategic governance models and operational transformation, technical consulting such as data conversions or interface development. The NextGen Division products utilize Microsoft Windows technology and can operate in a client-server environment as well as
via private intranet, the Internet, or in an ASP environment. The NextGen Division also provides EDI services, which include electronic submission of claims to insurance providers as well as automated patient statements.
Hospital Solutions Division. The Hospital Solutions Division, with its primary location in Austin, Texas, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for rural, community and specialty hospitals. This Hospital Solutions Division also develops and markets an equivalent revenue cycle management and clinical information systems software products for the small and specialty hospital market, which perform the administrative functions required for operating hospitals.
In the last few years, we have continued to acquire companies that were established developers of software and services for the inpatient market to operate under the Hospital Solutions Division. On May 1, 2012, we acquired The Poseidon Group ("Poseidon"), a provider of emergency department software. On July 26, 2011, we acquired CQI Solutions, Inc. ("CQI"), a provider of hospital systems for surgery management. On April 29, 2011, we acquired IntraNexus, Inc. ("IntraNexus"), a provider of Web-based integrated clinical and hospital information systems. On February 10, 2010, we acquired Opus Healthcare Solutions, LLC ("Opus"), a provider of Web-based clinical solutions to hospital systems and integrated health networks nationwide and on August 12, 2009 we acquired Sphere Health Systems, Inc. ("Sphere"), a provider of financial information systems to the small hospital inpatient market. These acquisitions are part of our strategy to continue to expand in the small and specialty hospital market and to add new clients by taking advantage of cross selling opportunities between the ambulatory and inpatient markets.
RCM Services Division. The RCM Services Division, with locations in St. Louis, Missouri, North Canton, Ohio and Hunt Valley, Maryland, provides technology solutions and consulting services to cover the full spectrum of healthcare providers' RCM needs, from patient access through claims denials, with a primary focus on billing and collection services. The RCM Services Division combines a Web-delivered SaaS model and the NextGen® Practice Management software platform to execute its service offerings. Execution of the plan to transition our client base onto the NextGen platform is being implemented. On April 15, 2012, we acquired Matrix Management Solutions, LLC (“Matrix”). Since 1998, North Canton, Ohio-based Matrix, a value-added reseller for NextGen Healthcare, has provided RCM services, healthcare IT solutions and training, implementation and support centered on NextGen® technology, to its clients nationwide. The acquisition has enabled our RCM Services Division to expand its footprint among private and hospital-based physicians and groups by leveraging Matrix's RCM expertise.
Overview of Our Results
• | Consolidated revenue decreased 7.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects a 40.5% decline in system sales revenue, mitigated by 8.2% growth in recurring services revenue (i.e. maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services revenues). |
• | Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 56.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 59.1% in the prior year period. The decline was attributable to a shift in the mix of revenue towards recurring services and a decline in the profit margin on system sales revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, recurring services revenue comprised 79.4% of consolidated revenue, as compared to 68.0% in the prior year period. |
• | Consolidated operating income decreased 16.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to a 12.1% decrease in consolidated gross profit mitigated by a 9.7% reduction in total operating expenses. |
• | Total cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities increased by $12.0 million to $130.0 million as of June 30, 2013, as compared to $118.0 million as of March 31, 2013. Contributing to this increase was significant cash inflows from operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $31.5 million (as compared to $19.9 million of net cash inflows from operating activities for the prior year period). |
QSI Dental Division
• | QSI Dental Division revenue increased 4.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and divisional operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) increased 103.5% as compared to the same prior year period. The increase in operating income is primarily the result of an increase in total revenue in the current period. It should be noted that the QSI Dental Division's new software solution (“QSIDental™ Web”) is being sold as a SaaS solution which spreads revenue over a longer period of time rather than being recognized upfront. Revenue recognized from QSIDental Web was not significant in the three months ended June 30, 2013. |
• | The QSI Dental Division is well-positioned to sell to the FQHCs market and intends to continue leveraging the NextGen Division's sales force to sell its dental electronic medical records software to practices that provide both medical and dental services, such as FQHCs, which are receiving grants as part of the ARRA. |
• | Our goal for the QSI Dental Division is to maximize profit performance given the constraints represented by a relatively weak purchasing environment in the dental group practice market while taking advantage of opportunities with the new QSIDental™ Web product. |
NextGen Division
• | NextGen Division revenue decreased 5.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year period. NextGen revenue was positively impacted by 12.3% growth in service revenue, which was offset by a 37.5% decline in system sales revenue. Recurring revenue, which consists primarily of maintenance and EDI revenue, increased 11.4% to $48.9 million and accounted for 60.0% of |
total NextGen Division revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013. In the same period a year ago, recurring revenue of $43.9 million represented 51.0% of total NextGen Division revenue.
• | NextGen Division operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) grew 2.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year period. The increase in operating income is primarily the result of a 16.5% decrease in total operating expenses in the current period, partially offset by a decrease in total revenue. |
• | Our goals include taking maximum advantage of benefits related to the ARRA and continuing to further enhance our existing products, including continued efforts to maintain our status as a qualified vendor under the ARRA, expanding our software and service offerings supporting pay-for-performance initiatives around accountable care organizations, bringing greater ease of use and intuitiveness to our software products, expanding our interoperability capabilities, integrating our inpatient and ambulatory software products and further development and enhancements of our portfolio of specialty focused templates within our EHR software. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements, including ICD-10 and meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments. We believe that the expanded requirements for continued eligibility for incentive payments under meaningful use rules will result in an expanded replacement market for electronic health records software. We also intend to continue selling additional software and services to existing clients, expanding penetration of connectivity and other services to new and existing clients, and capitalizing on growth and cross selling opportunities within the RCM Services Division and the Hospital Solutions Division. |
• | The NextGen Division’s growth is attributed to a strong brand name and reputation within a growing marketplace for electronic health records and investments in sales and marketing activities, including new marketing campaigns, trade show attendance and other expanded advertising and marketing expenditures. We have also recently expanded our relationship with certain value added resellers with significant resources both domestically and internationally. |
Hospital Solutions Division
• | Hospital Solutions Division revenue decreased 51.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue was negatively impacted by a 64.7% decline in system sales, as well as lower maintenance revenue and higher accruals for anticipated sales returns. The decline in maintenance revenue relates to a scheduled run-off related to a specific legacy customer of one of the acquired entities of the division. |
• | Divisional operating income/(loss) (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) was $(2.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $2.3 million for the same prior year period. Operating income was negatively impacted by significantly lower revenue during the period, partially offset by a decrease in total operating expenses. |
• | The Hospital Solutions Division has benefited from being able to offer both financial and CCHIT® certified clinical software, which has been packaged together, and in May 2013, the division's NextGen® Inpatient Clinicals software was certified for stage two of meaningful use. The Hospital Solutions Division has also benefited from cross sell opportunities with existing NextGen Division customers, including hospitals that are owned or affiliated with physician offices. |
• | The Hospital Solutions Division has incurred losses in the last several quarters and is expected to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future while we continue to invest in implementation and training, support, and development to support our growing customer base and maximize customer satisfaction. We continue to believe in the long term opportunity in the small hospital market in spite of the recent losses which we have incurred. |
RCM Services Division
• | RCM Services Division revenue increased 10.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2013. The RCM Services Division benefited from organic growth achieved through cross selling RCM services to existing NextGen Division clients and well as new clients added during the three months ended June 30, 2013. |
• | Operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 16.3% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus 11.7% of revenue in the same prior year period primarily as a result of an increase in the RCM Services Division's revenue and gross profit compared to the prior year period. |
• | The Company believes that a significant opportunity exists to cross sell revenue cycle management services to existing NextGen Division customers. The portion of existing NextGen Division customers who are using the RCM Services Division's RCM services is less than 10%. We also believe that the increased complexity related to the billing and collections process, which goes into effect with ICD-10 in October of 2014, will create additional opportunities for our RCM Services Division. |
• | There is also a significant opportunity to expand the RCM Services Division's services into the Hospital Solution and Dental Division's customers as well. Management is actively pursuing efforts to achieve faster growth from expanded efforts to leverage the existing NextGen Division's sales force towards selling RCM services. |
• | Actual and expected customer turnover may impact short term revenue for the division. However, we are encouraged by increased sales activity and a growing sales pipeline of RCM services. |

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012
Net Income. Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $12.9 million, or $0.22 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $15.5 million, or $0.26 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The change in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributed to the following:
• | a decline in consolidated gross profit of $8.4 million (12.1%) resulting from a 54.4% decrease in consolidated system sales gross profit, mitigated by 8.6% growth in gross profit from recurring services revenue. The decline in consolidated system sales gross profit reflects both the decline in this category of revenue, as well as lower profit margins on the revenue. The increase in gross profit from recurring services revenue reflects growth in this category of revenue. |
• | a $4.5 million (9.7%) reduction in total operating expenses compared to the prior year period. This decrease principally reflects a reduction in selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses driven by various cost saving initiatives enacted by the Company. |
• | a reduction of $1.4 million in the provision for income taxes, principally reflecting a lower level of taxable income in the current period. |
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 7.4% to $109.5 million from $118.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. NextGen Division revenue decreased 5.4% to $81.5 million compared to $86.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, QSI Dental Division revenue increased 4.0% to $5.2 million from $5.0 million, RCM Services Division revenue increased 10.1% to $17.4 million from $15.8 million, and Hospital Solutions Division revenue decreased 51.9% during that same period to $5.5 million from $11.4 million.
System Sales. Revenue earned from our company-wide sales of systems for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 40.5% to $22.5 million from $37.9 million in the same prior year period.
Our decrease in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of a 37.5% decrease in system sales revenue at our NextGen Division, which decreased $11.5 million to $19.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $30.7 million during the same prior year period. The decrease in system sales was driven primarily by lower sales of software to both new and existing clients for both the NextGen and Hospital Solutions Divisions.
The following table breaks down our reported system sales into software, hardware and third-party software, and implementation and training services components on a consolidated and divisional basis for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

NextGen Division software license revenue decreased 34.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus the same period last year. The NextGen Division’s software revenue accounted for 70.3% of divisional system sales revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 67.5% during the same period a year ago. Software license revenue continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division. Our decline in software revenue was related to a number of factors including higher adoption rates by large physician groups which resulted in a smaller number of new opportunities, the consolidation of physician offices by hospitals and other large enterprises thereby reducing the number of potential opportunities, and an extension to the deadline to adopt stage two meaningful use requirements until calendar 2014.
We believe there are other trends which may positively impact future systems sales. Many of our existing large enterprise customers have plans to grow which will create future revenue opportunities as these customers purchase additional software and services to support their growth plans. We also expect to benefit from the growth of a replacement market driven by an expected consolidation of EHR vendors. Finally, we believe many new opportunities will be created by the evolution of healthcare from a pay for services reimbursement model to a pay for performance model around the management of patient populations. We are developing new products around these new opportunities which are expected to help drive future growth. It is difficult to assess the relative impact as well as the timing of positive and negative trends, however, we believe the Company is well positioned to support the ever increasing need for healthcare information technology.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, 7.3% of the NextGen Division’s system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third-party software compared to 4.1% during same period a year ago. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software revenue fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of clients. The inclusion of hardware and third-party software in the NextGen Division’s sales arrangements is typically at the request of our clients.
Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the NextGen Division decreased 50.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a decline in the amount of new system sales in the division. Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the Hospital Solutions Division decreased 30.6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior year period. The amount of implementation and training services revenue is dependent on several factors, including timing of client implementations, the availability of qualified staff and the mix of services being rendered. It should be noted that we have experienced a decline in the level of systems sales in recent quarters which in turn have resulted in a decline in the amount of implementation services sold, specifically in the NextGen Division. We have not reduced our staffing levels in spite of the decline in revenue as we believe that the demand for services is going to increase especially as our customers implement new versions of our software related to the ICD-10 requirements. While the gross margin on implementation and training revenue was negative in the current quarter, we expect margins to improve as demand for services increases in future quarters.
Maintenance, EDI, RCM and Other Services. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services grew 8.2% to $87.0 million from $80.4 million in the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to an increase in maintenance, EDI and other services revenue from the NextGen Division and RCM revenue from the RCM Services Division.
Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 grew 6.4% to $33.7 million from $31.7 million for the same prior year period while NextGen Division EDI revenue grew 24.3% to $15.2 million compared to $12.3 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue for the NextGen Division, which consists primarily of third-party annual software license renewals, consulting services, SaaS fees and hosting services, increased 15.7% to $13.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $11.6 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue benefited from a strong increase in consulting revenue to existing NextGen Division customers.
QSI Dental Division maintenance, EDI and other services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, RCM revenue for the RCM Services Division increased to $16.0 million compared to $14.4 million in the same prior year period. For the Hospital Solutions Division, maintenance and other services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 38.6% as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a decrease in maintenance revenue primarily due to a scheduled roll off of an existing legacy customer of one of the acquired entities of the division.

Maintenance revenue for the NextGen Division increased by $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior year period, primarily as a result of net additional licenses from both new and existing clients.
The NextGen Division’s EDI revenue growth has come from new clients and from further penetration of the division’s existing client base while the growth in RCM revenue is primarily attributable to organic growth. We intend to continue to promote maintenance, EDI and RCM services to both new and existing clients. Growth in other services revenue is primarily due to increases in third-party annual software licenses, consulting services, SaaS fees, patient portal subscription fees and hosting services revenue.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased slightly to $48.1 million from $48.4 million in the same prior year period and the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 43.9% from 40.9%. The increase in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to a change in the mix of revenues toward recurring services revenue, which have historically carried a lower profit margin than system sales, as well as a decrease in the margins on system sales. Though the total cost of system sales have declined from the prior year period, that rate of cost decreases was lower than that of the related revenue decreases.

Gross profit margins for the QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division and the Hospital Solutions Division decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a significant decrease in total system sales (consisting of both software and hardware sales and training and implementation services). Though the cost of sales decreased relating to each primary category of revenue within total system sales, such costs did not decrease at the same rate as the decrease in revenues. Gross profit margin in the RCM Services Division increased to 31.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 28.8% for the same prior year period primarily due to improved recurring revenue profit margins during the current period.
The following table details the individual components of cost of revenue and gross profit as a percentage of total revenue on a consolidated and divisional basis for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, hardware and third-party software constituted a slightly lower portion of cost of revenue compared to the same prior year period in the NextGen Division. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software purchased fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of our clients. Gross profit for the Hospital Solutions Division decreased to 22.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 60.0% for the same prior
year period due to significant declines in system sales revenues and maintenance gross profit. The change in maintenance gross profit was primarily a result of increased sales reserves in the current period.
Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services increased to 19.0% of consolidated revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 16.9% during the same period last year. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $20.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $20.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. The majority of the increase, approximately $0.3 million, is related to the RCM Services Division. RCM is a service business, which inherently has higher payroll costs as a percentage of revenue. Other increases of approximately $0.2 million in the NextGen Division and $0.2 million for the Hospital Solutions Division are primarily due to increased payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services. Payroll and benefit expenses related to the QSI Dental Division increased $0.1 million period over period. The amount of share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was not significant for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Other cost of revenue, which primarily consists of third-party annual license, hosting costs and outsourcing costs, decreased to 14.1% of total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 15.1% for the same period a year ago. Other expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to the mix of other services revenue sold compared to the prior year period.
As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit percentage decreased to 56.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus 59.1% for the same prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 4.3% to $35.1 million as compared to $36.7 million for the prior year period. The decrease in these expenses resulted primarily from:
• | $1.1 million decrease in salaries and related benefit expenses, attributable to cost control initiatives |
• | $0.6 million decrease in sales commissions, reflecting the lower level of revenues |
• | $0.3 million decrease in acquisition related expenses, including fair value adjustments; partially offset by a |
• | $0.4 million increase in bad debt expense |
Share-based compensation expense was approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 31.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 32.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $5.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Research and development costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 7.2% for the prior year period. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to the achievement of technological feasibility for one of our major projects intended to bring greater integration between our ambulatory and inpatient software products and solutions, therefore allowing us to begin to capitalize costs related to this project in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. We also continue to invest significantly in enhancements to our specialty template development, preparation for ICD10 requirements, new products including NextGen Mobile, NextGen NextPen, NextGen Community Connectivity consisting of NextGen Health Information Exchange (“NextGen HIE,” formerly Community Health Solution), NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen Health Quality Measures (“NextGen HQM”), and other enhancements to our existing products. Additions to capitalized software costs offset increases in research and development costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, our additions to capitalized software were $7.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, as we continue to enhance our software to meet the Meaningful Use definitions under the ARRA as well as further integrate both ambulatory and inpatient products. The increase in capitalized software added in the current quarter was primarily the result of greater investment in the Hospital Solutions Division. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, total research and development expenditures including costs expensed and costs capitalized were both $12.9 million. We intend to continue to invest heavily in research and development as we develop a new integrated inpatient and outpatient, web-based software platform as well as continue to bring additional functionality and features to the medical community. Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was not significant for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization included in operating expenses related to acquired intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Interest and Other Income (Expense). Total interest and other income (expense) was $(0.2) million for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Interest and other income (expense) consists primarily of dividends and interest earned on our investments along with foreign currency gains or losses for the period.
Our investment policy is determined by our Board of Directors. We currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including tax exempt and taxable money market funds, Certificates of Deposit and short term Municipal Bonds with maturities of 365 days or less at the time of purchase. Our Board of Directors continues to review alternate uses for our cash including, but not limited to, payment of a special dividend, initiation of a stock buyback program, an expansion of our investment policy and other items. Additionally, it is possible that we will utilize some or all of our cash to fund acquisitions or other similar business activities. Any or all of these programs could significantly impact our investment income in future periods.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $6.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 33.0% and 33.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased as compared to the same prior year period due to a net benefit from the federal research and development tax credit, an increase benefit in qualified production activities deduction, and a decreased benefit of current period discrete items.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operations has historically been our primary source of cash and has primarily been driven by our net income plus adjustments to add back non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization of intangibles and capitalized software costs, provisions for bad debts and inventory obsolescence, share-based compensation, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and deferred taxes.
The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Net income | $ | 12,945 | $ | 15,497 | ||||
Non-cash expenses | 9,164 | 8,337 | ||||||
Change in deferred revenue | (2,416 | ) | (12,677 | ) | ||||
Cash from net income, as adjusted | 19,693 | 11,157 | ||||||
Change in accounts receivable | 7,503 | (7,492 | ) | |||||
Change in other assets and liabilities | 4,331 | 16,215 | ||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 31,527 | $ | 19,880 |
Net Income. Net income makes up the majority of our cash generated from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. In addition, cash flows are affected by non-cash adjustments including depreciation, amortization of intangibles and amortization of capitalized software costs, provisions for bad debts, share-based compensation, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and deferred taxes. Total non-cash expenses were $9.2 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The $0.9 million increase in non-cash expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior year period is primarily due to increases of approximately $0.3 million in depreciation, $0.2 million of amortization of capitalized software costs, $0.4 million of bad debt expense and a $0.5 million increase in deferred income tax expense, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in share-based compensation, a $0.1 million decrease in fair value adjustments for contingent consideration and $0.1 million of excess tax benefit from share-based compensation.
Further, cash from operations was negatively impacted by a decrease in deferred revenues of approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus a decrease of $12.7 million in the same prior year period. The decline in deferred revenue was primarily due to lower deferred implementation services, which was related to a decline in system sales during the period. Deferred implementation revenue was also impacted by a change in the Company's standard payment terms at the end fiscal 2012, resulting in implementation service fees not being recorded as both accounts receivable and deferred revenue upon execution of a contract. Therefore, deferred implementation and training revenue is not expected to be as significant in future periods due to this change in standard payment terms.
Accounts Receivable. Net cash inflows associated with changes in accounts receivable were approximately $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus net outflows of approximately $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The change in cash flows attributable to accounts receivable activity is primarily due to an additional emphasis on working capital management in the current period. This emphasis is reflected as a reduction of days sales outstanding (“DSO”) in comparison to the prior year period. Specifically, DSO decreased to 116 days during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 118 days in the prior year period.
Provided that profitability and the turnover of accounts receivable remain consistent (at a minimum) with the 2013 fiscal year, we anticipate being able to continue generating cash from operations during fiscal year 2014 primarily from our net income.
Other Assets and Liabilities. Cash from operations was positively impacted by a net change in other assets and liabilities of $4.3 million and $16.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the $4.3 million change in other assets and liabilities is primarily the result of a $4.0 million decrease in other current assets (including restricted cash), a $3.8 million increase in income tax payable and a $0.6 million net increase in all other assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in accounts payable.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $9.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The $5.6 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior year period is primarily due to expenditures of $7.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for capitalized software and equipment and improvements. The prior year period cash flows from investing activities primarily consists of net cash paid for the acquisitions of Matrix and Poseidon of $5.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in addition to investments of $4.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for capitalized software and equipment and improvements.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $10.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we received proceeds of $0.3 million from the exercise of stock options, paid $10.4 million in dividends to shareholders and paid $0.1 million in contingent consideration related to acquisitions compared to proceeds of $0.8 million from the exercise of stock options and payment of $10.4 million in dividends to shareholders during the same prior year period. The contingent consideration paid in the prior year period was not significant.
Further, we recorded a reduction in our tax benefit from share-based compensation of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 related to tax deductions received from stock option exercises. The benefit was recorded as additional paid in capital. No reduction was recorded in the prior year period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
At June 30, 2013, we had combined cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $130.0 million. We may use a portion of these funds towards future acquisitions although the timing and amount of funds to be used has not been determined. We intend to expend some of these funds for the development of products complementary to our existing product line as well as new versions of certain of our products. These developments are intended to take advantage of more powerful technologies and to increase the integration of our products. Such expenditures will be funded from cash on hand and cash flows from operations.
In January 2007, our Board of Directors adopted a policy whereby we intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock, subject to further review and approval and the establishment of record and distribution dates by our Board of Directors prior to the declaration of each such quarterly dividend. We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors pursuant to this policy, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each January, April, July and October.
On July 24, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share on our outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2013 with an expected distribution date on or about October 4, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of new accounting standards.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
There is little to no market risk as we currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including tax exempt and taxable money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). They have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities and would be disclosed on a timely basis. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. They have also concluded that the our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, there were no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at that reasonable assurance level. However, management can provide no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can prevent all errors and all fraud under all circumstances. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have experienced legal claims by customers regarding product and contract disputes and from time to time, claims by other third parties asserting that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously; however, we could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources even if we are ultimately successful in the defense of such claims. Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. We refer you to the discussion of infringement and litigation risks in our “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, which may materially and adversely affect our future business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. These risk factors are disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.
