NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated, which adjustments, consist only of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 1998. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from assumed conversions of all dilutive securities such as stock options. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation is shown below.

The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may contribute to such differences include those listed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, File No. 0-28182. The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included herein and the notes thereto as well as the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. OVERVIEW The Company provides management information technology to hospitals, integrated delivery networks, physician groups and other health care organizations. The Company's product lines span the health care organization's information technology needs, providing enterprise-wide financial and clinical decision support, data integration services, disease management products and master person identifier solutions as well as a clinical data repository. The Company was founded in 1985 and has been profitable in each fiscal year since 1987. The Company has experienced a seasonal pattern in its operating results, in which the first quarter of each fiscal year typically has the lowest revenue and net income, frequently lower than the last quarter of the previous fiscal year, and the fourth quarter typically has the highest revenue and net income. While the Company has taken steps to moderate this seasonal pattern, there can be no assurance that it will be able to eliminate the seasonality of its operating results. The Company's revenues are derived from sales of software licenses and related implementation services and of software maintenance. Software and implementation revenues are accounted for using the percentage of completion method, and revenue is recognized as contract milestones are reached. Software maintenance contracts are sold separately at the time of the initial software license sale and are generally renewable annually. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES The Company's total revenues increased 28.1% to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $9.8 million for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 1998, total revenues increased 28.3% to $23.5 million from $18.3 million for the same six month period in the prior year. Software and implementation revenue increased 31.4% to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $7.0 million for the same period in the prior year and increased 31.4% to $16.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 from $12.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in software and implementation revenue was due primarily to continued market penetration of the Company's products and increased add-on software sales to its existing customer base. Maintenance revenue increased 19.6% to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.8 million for the same period in the prior year, and increased 21.0% to $6.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The growth in maintenance revenue is attributable to the growth in the Company's installed base and number of supported products. COST OF REVENUE Cost of software and implementation revenues consists primarily of the cost of third-party software that is resold by the Company or included in the Company's products, personnel costs, the cost of related benefits, travel and living expenses, costs of materials and other costs related to the installation and implementation of the Company's products, and amortization of capitalized software development costs. Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of maintenance fees payable by the Company associated with the third-party software included in the Company's products and personnel costs incurred in providing maintenance and technical support services to the Company's customers. 7 8 Cost of software and implementation revenues increased 28.7% to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 1998, cost of software and implementation revenues increased 27.6% to $6.0 million from $4.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in spending was primarily due to a net increase of 30 people in the Company's implementation and client service staff offset by a decrease in professional implementation consulting expense. As a percentage of software and implementation revenue, cost of software and implementation revenues decreased to 34.3% from 35.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively and decreased to 35.2% from 36.2% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is a result of increased productivity of the Company's implementation staff. Cost of maintenance revenues was essentially unchanged at $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and increased 6.1% to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in spending was primarily due to increased maintenance fees payable to third party software suppliers. As a percentage of maintenance revenue, cost of maintenance revenues decreased to 21.4% from 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively, and decreased to 21.6% from 24.6% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively. As a percent of revenue, cost of maintenance revenue decreased due to the maturation of the Company's products reducing support needs. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expense increased 74.6% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $0.9 million for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 1998, research and development expenses increased 63.5% to $2.9 million from $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expense increased to 12.3% from 9.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 30, 1997, respectively, and increased to 12.3% from 9.6% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and March 30, 1997, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a net increase of 16 people in the Company's research and development staff and increased professional consulting expense to support new product development. SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expense increased 26.0% to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.7 million for the same period in the prior year, and increased 29.6% to $3.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 from $3.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily associated with the growth of the sales and marketing organization to support the Company's expanding product lines. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expense decreased to 16.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 17.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and increased slightly to 16.8% from 16.6% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 respectively. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expense remained constant at $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and decreased 9.0% to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in spending was primarily due to a decrease in professional services expense during the period. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expense decreased to 7.7% from 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively, and decreased to 7.9% from 11.1% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively. The decrease as a percent of revenue is attributable to increased efficiencies of the Company's administrative functions. INTEREST INCOME Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $0.7 million, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had $1.5 million in interest income compared to $1.1 million in interest income for the same period in the prior year. The increase is attributable to the interest generated on higher cash balances during fiscal 1998. 8 9 PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective income tax rate remained constant at 40.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents increased to $63.4 million at March 31, 1998 from $58.5 million at September 30, 1997. The increase is attributable primarily to cash generated from operating activities of $5.7 million offset by investments in capital equipment. The Company believes available funds, cash generated from operations and its unused line of credit of $15 million will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not require additional financing during that time or thereafter. 9 10 ITEM 4.
