NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information,
pursuant to the rules and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form
10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
included. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
LanVision Systems, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission File Number
0-28132. Operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2001, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending January 31, 2002.
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented
beginning on page 20 of its 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders. Users of
financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the
footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim
financial results. There has been no material change in the accounting policies
followed by the Company during fiscal year 2001.
Note 3 - CHANGES IN BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT BALANCES
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents results primarily from the payment of
$500,000 in long-term accrued interest on the outstanding debt, the purchase of
fixed assets and a reduction in deferred revenues, offset to some extent by the
decrease in accounts receivable during the quarter.
The decrease in accounts receivable, net is due to higher collections, during
the first quarter, of receivables outstanding at January 31, 2001.
The increase in unbilled receivables represents primarily amounts recorded as
revenue during the quarter but prior to progress billing customers or receiving
payment from remarketing partners.
Other current assets consist of software and hardware awaiting installation
(related to unrecognized revenue) and prepaid expenses, including commissions.
7
8
The increase in property and equipment, net, is primarily the result of the
acquisition of computer equipment and software necessary to support current
customers.
Other non-current assets consist primarily of prepaid long-term debt closing
costs, which are amortized to expense over the life of the loan.
The increase in accrued compensation results primarily from the increase in the
accrual for first quarter bonuses payable under the employee bonus plans.
The decrease in accrued other expenses relates to the settlement of certain
obligations during the quarter.
The decrease in deferred revenues results from the recognition of revenue
related to billings to customers recorded prior to revenue recognition.
The decrease in long-term accrued interest results from the special payment of
$500,000 of such interest at the time the loan agreement was amended, during the
first quarter, to set the financial covenants for fiscal 2001.
Note 4 - STOCK OPTIONS
During the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Company granted
10,000 stock options under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan at an exercise
price of approximately $0.87 per share. During the same period 5,000 options
were forfeited under all plans. No stock options were exercised during the
quarter.
Note 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic net income per common share is calculated using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The diluted net income per common share calculation, is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of
stock options (90,678 option shares in 2001, and 107,094 option shares in 2000)
The Company had approximately 385,329 option shares outstanding at April 30,
2001 that were not included in the diluted net income per share calculation as
the inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
LanVision is an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a leading supplier of
Healthcare Information Access Systems specializing in connectivity solutions
that utilize the power of the Internet/Intranet to link hospitals, physicians,
patients and payers to a robust Electronic Medical Record. The Company's
products are complementary to existing clinical and financial systems, and use
document imaging and workflow tools to ensure end-users can electronically
access all the various forms of healthcare information including clinician's
handwritten notes, lab reports, photographs, insurance cards, etc. LanVision's
solutions offer value to all of the constituents in the healthcare delivery
process by enabling them to simultaneously access information from virtually any
location, including the physician's desktop, using Web browser-based technology.
Web access to the entire medical record improves physician productivity and
reduces administrative costs such as filing, storage, retrieval and upkeep of
medical records and clinical costs, such as redundant diagnostic testing. The
system enables healthcare providers to access, on a real-time basis, all the
various forms of clinical and financial patient information from a single
permanent healthcare information repository. The Company's solutions integrate a
proprietary document imaging platform, application suites, and image and
Web-enabling tools, that allow for the seamless merger of "back office"
functionality with existing Clinical Information Systems at the desktop. The
Company offers a robust document imaging/management infrastructure (Foundation
Suite) that is built for high volume transaction processing and is optimized for
the healthcare industry. In addition to providing the clinician access to
information not previously available at the desktop, the Company's applications
fulfill the administrative and legal needs of the Medical Records and Patient
Financial Services departments. Furthermore, these systems have been
specifically designed to integrate with any Clinical Information System. For
example, the Company has integrated its products with selected systems from
Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation and Cerner Corporation. By
offering electronic access to all the components of the Medical Record, this
integration completes one of the most difficult tasks necessary to provide a
true Computer Based Patient Record. The Company's systems deliver on-line
enterprisewide access to fully-updated patient information which historically
was maintained on a variety of media, including paper, magnetic disk, optical
disk, x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm.
9
10
Historically, the Company has derived its revenues from system sales involving
the licensing, either directly or through remarketing partners, of its
Electronic Medical Record solution to Integrated Healthcare Delivery Networks
(IDN). In a typical transaction, the Company, or its remarketing partners, enter
into a term, perpetual or fee-for-service agreement for the Company's Electronic
Medical Record Software Suite and may license or sell other third party software
and hardware components to the IDN. Additionally, the Company, or its
remarketing partners provide professional services, including implementation,
training and product support.
With respect to systems sales, the Company earns its highest margins on
proprietary LanVision software or ASP services and the lowest margins on third
party hardware. Systems sales to customers may include different configurations
of software and hardware, resulting in varying margins among contracts. The
margins on professional services revenues are expected to fluctuate based upon
the negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer and the Company's
ability to fully utilize its professional services, maintenance and support
services staff.
Beginning in 1998, the Company began offering customers the ability to obtain
its Electronic Medical Record solution on a service bureau basis as an ASP. The
Company's ASP division, called ASPeNSM (Application Service Provider eHealth
Network), formerly known as the Virtual Healthware Services division,
established a centralized data center and installed the Company's Electronic
Medical Record suite, within the data center. Under this arrangement, customers
electronically capture information and transmit the data to the centralized data
center. The ASP Division stores and manages the data using LanVision's
Electronic Medical Record Suite of Applications, and customers can view, print
or fax the information from anywhere using the LanVision Web browser-based
applications. Since inception, the ASP division charges and recognizes revenue
for these services on a per transaction or subscription basis as information is
captured, stored, and retrieved.
In February 2000, the Company sold its centralized data center for $2,900,000.
Simultaneous therewith, the Company entered into a one-year service agreement
with the buyer. Under the terms of this service agreement, which can be renewed
at the sole option of the Company, in exchange for processing fees, the Company
will continue to use the data center to provide ASP services to LanVision's
current and future customers. The agreement has been renewed through February
2002. Although LanVision sold the data center assets, the Company continues to
market its ASP solutions, which includes agreements with eSmartHealth, Inc., now
known as Smart Health Services, Inc. and Provider HealthNet Services Inc, which
are discussed below. The Company continues to provide its ASP solutions through
the data center and intends to utilize other data center service providers.
In August 2000, LanVision entered into an agreement with Smart Health Services,
Inc. (Smart), which allows Smart to utilize LanVision's MicroVision(TM)
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) product combined with Web-based Smart software
to provide affordable, Web-based EMR document management and viewing services to
hospitals and clinics via the Internet. Smart Health Services, in conjunction
with its affiliate, Alpharetta, Georgia based Smart Professional Photocopy
Corporation d/b/a Smart Corporation, will distribute their services through
Smart Corporation's extensive sales distribution network which currently
consists of over 1,000 hospitals and 4,600 clinic customers throughout 46
states. LanVision will be compensated for
10
11
use of its software based upon the number of EMR images Smart scans and stores
using the MicroVision ASP application.
In November 2000, LanVision entered into an agreement with Provider HealthNet
Services Inc. (PHNS) which allows PHNS to offer LanVision's MicroVision EMR
product to provide EMR document management and viewing services to PHNS'
customer base. PHNS is a healthcare industry information technology and business
outsourcing company, which provides information technology and professional
management of information systems, medical records and related business
processes to hospitals and other healthcare providers on a shared basis to
improve healthcare services and reduce costs. The relationship with LanVision
will allow PHNS to more effectively use information technology and the LanVision
document imaging and management solution for medical records and other business
processes to improve healthcare services and reduce costs for its customers. The
LanVision ASP services allows PHNS to offer a state-of-the-art, Application
Service Provider-based EMR solution, an offering that contributes to increased
process efficiency for medical records functions. PHNS currently provides
medical record, transcription and/or coding management outsourcing services to
sixteen hospitals, many of which, LanVision was advised by PHNS, are considering
an EMR solution. The LanVision services to be provided by PHNS will be delivered
on an ASP basis through a centralized data center staffed by seasoned
information technology professionals with healthcare experience. LanVision will
be compensated by PHNS for use of its software based upon the number of
encounters, or patient visits, to each hospital using the LanVision EMR
software. PHNS is a privately held, Dallas based company which currently has
over 420 experienced healthcare information technology and business process
employees that provide outsourcing services to 16 hospitals in nine states.
To date, LanVision has recorded no ASPeN revenues from Smart or PHNS and cannot
currently predict when revenues will be generated from these two new agreements.
However, Smart has signed and installed the LanVision MicroVision EMR software
at two customer locations. Accordingly, LanVision anticipates a small amount of
recurring revenues from these two Smart customers may begin in the third quarter
of the current fiscal year.
The decision by a healthcare provider to replace, substantially modify or
upgrade its information systems is a strategic decision and often involves a
large capital commitment requiring an extended approval process. Since
inception, the Company has experienced extended sales cycles, which has
adversely affected revenues. It is common for sales cycles to take six to
eighteen months from initial contact to the execution of an agreement. As a
result, the sales cycles can cause significant variations in quarter-to-quarter
operating results. These agreements cover the entire implementation of the
system and specify the implementation schedule, which typically takes place in
one or more phases. The agreements generally provide for the licensing of the
Company's proprietary software and third party software with perpetual or term
license fee that is adjusted depending on the number of concurrent users or
workstations using the software. Third party hardware is usually sold outright,
with a one-time fee charged for installation and training. Site-specific
customization, interfaces with existing customer systems and other consulting
services are sold on a fixed fee or a time and materials basis. Alternatively,
with the Company's ASP services, the agreements generally provide for utilizing
the Company's software and third party software on a fee per transaction or
subscription basis.
11
12
Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when an agreement is signed
and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine installation,
integration and project management is deferred until the work is performed. If
an agreement requires the Company to perform services and modifications that are
deemed significant to system acceptance, revenue is recorded either on the
percentage-of-completion method or revenue related to the delivered hardware and
software components is deferred until such obligations are deemed insignificant,
depending on the contractual terms. Revenues from consulting, training and ASP
services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from short-term
support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the
agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of the
revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to
progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables.
The Company's ASP Division was designed to overcome obstacles in the buying
decision such as large capital commitment, length of implementation, and the
scarcity of time for Healthcare Information Systems personnel to implement new
systems. Customers pay for such services on a transaction or subscription basis,
and the centralized data center application is operated and maintained by
LanVision personnel and/or its agents. In 1999, the ASP Division signed a
four-year contract with The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, a group of
five hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati Area, to provide outsourced data center
operations of its LanVision Electronic Medical Record System. Management
believes more IDN's will utilize this type of ASP application. Additionally, the
Company believes its business model is especially well suited for the ambulatory
marketplace. LanVision is actively pursuing remarketing agreements with
Healthcare Information Systems providers to distribute the Company's ASP
solutions.
In 1998, the Company entered into a five-year Remarketing Agreement Siemens
Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation (SMS). Under the terms of the
agreement, SMS was granted an exclusive worldwide license to distribute
ChartVision(R), On-Line Chart Completion(TM), WebView(TM) and Enterprisewide
Correspondence(TM) to the SMS customer base and prospect base, as defined in the
agreement, and a non-exclusive license to distribute all other LanVision
products. If SMS distributes any other Electronic Medical Record product
competing with LanVision's products, the Company may terminate the SMS
Remarketing Agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, SMS remits royalties to LanVision based upon
SMS sublicensing the Company's software to SMS's customers. Twenty-five percent
of the royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS
executes the end user license agreement with its customer. LanVision recognizes
this revenue upon receipt of the royalty statement. The remaining 75% of the
royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS commences
software implementation activities. The Company records this revenue when the
75% payment due from SMS is fixed and determinable, which is when the software
implementation activities commence. Through April 30, 2001, SMS has sold
fourteen systems to end-users.
UNEVEN PATTERNS OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
The Company's revenues from systems sales have varied, and may continue to vary,
significantly from quarter-to-quarter as a result of the volume and timing of
systems sales and delivery. Professional services revenues also fluctuate from
quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of the installation of software and
hardware, project management and customized programming.
12
13
Revenues from maintenance services do not fluctuate significantly from quarter
to quarter, but have been increasing as the number of customers increase.
Revenues from ASP Service Bureau operations are expected to increase over time,
as more hospitals outsource services to LanVision's ASP Division, or its
remarketing partners begin to utilize the software, and existing customers
increase the volume of documents stored on the systems, and the number of
retrievals increase.
The Company's revenues and operating results may vary significantly from
quarter-to-quarter as a result of a number of other factors, many of which are
outside the Company's control. These factors include the relatively high
purchase price of a system, unpredictability in the number and timing of systems
sales, length of the sales cycle, delays in the installation process and changes
in the customer's financial condition or budget and the sales activities of the
remarketing partners. As a result, period to period comparisons may not be
meaningful with respect to the past operations of the Company nor are they
necessarily indicative of the future operations of the Company.
REVENUES
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2001, were $2,712,403,
compared with $1,812,738 reported in the comparable quarter of 2000. The
increase is due to add-on sales to existing customers and implementation of
existing contracts through our remarketing partner. Revenues for the first three
months of fiscal 2000 and 2001 continued to be affected because many healthcare
organizations deferred new software purchases until final Federal Health Privacy
Regulations were promulgated, to comply with the requirements of HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996). Also, LanVision's
remarketing partner, SMS, has been slow to implement existing contracts, which
adversely affects revenue recognition because 75% of LanVision's revenues from
such contracts are recognized only upon commencement of implementation
activities on a contract by contract basis.
Additionally, healthcare institutions are assessing and implementing many new
technologies. Although many of these systems do not compete with LanVision
products, these systems do compete for capital budget dollars and the available
time of information systems personnel within the healthcare industries. However,
management continues to believe that revenue from its Remarketing Agreement with
SMS will increase in the future since LanVision's product has been fully
integrated with the SMS product. In addition, our Web browser-based ASP
application, which is currently available and in production with our customers
and available, through our Resellers, should further enhance revenues through
software royalties to LanVision with minimal additional cost. Both our
Remarketing and Reseller Agreements should represent a greater percentage of the
Company's total revenues in the future.
Many healthcare organizations are beginning to plan additional information
technology projects following Year 2000 remediation and in anticipation of HIPAA
compliance. The HIPAA Regulations are a series of standards that are intended to
regulate the way health information is secured and transmitted. A recent
healthcare industry report (Fitch IBCA, Duff & Phelps) stated that in order to
comply with the HIPAA healthcare information electronic transmission
regulations, healthcare systems will need to adjust existing systems or purchase
new information
13
14
technology systems, hire and retrain staff, and make significant changes to the
current processes associated with maintaining patient privacy, the cost of which
is estimated to be somewhere between three to four times the amount of
expenditures required for Year 2000 remediation, or an amount in excess of $25
billion. LanVision believes its highly evolved, secure and technologically
advanced Web browser-based ASP solutions will position the Company to take
advantage of, what we continue to believe will be, significantly increasing
market opportunities for LanVision and its distribution partners in the future.
After an agreement is executed, LanVision does not record revenues until it
delivers the hardware and software or performs the agreed upon services. The
commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and complexity
of the system and the scheduling of the implementation, training, interface
development and other services requested by the customer. Accordingly,
significant variations in revenues can result as was more fully discussed above
under "Uneven Patterns of Quarterly Operating Results." Three customers,
excluding our remarketing partner SMS, accounted for approximately 30% of the
revenues for the first quarter of 2001 compared with 39%, of revenues in the
comparable period of the prior year. Revenues from SMS accounted for
approximately $605,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001, compared with
approximately $172,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The increase
in SMS revenues results from increased software implementations in the current
quarter compared with the prior comparable period.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Cost of Systems Sales
The cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software
development costs on a straight-line basis, royalties and the cost of third
party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems
sales may vary from period to period depending on the mix of hardware and
software of the systems or add-on sales delivered. The cost of systems sales as
a percentage of systems sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were
14% and 63%, respectively. The lower percentage of cost of sales reflects higher
margins on greater volume of LanVision software revenues and less hardware sold
during the current period compared to the comparable prior period, which had
lower software revenues.
Cost of Services, Maintenance and Support
The cost of services, maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits
for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third party
maintenance contracts. As a percentage of services, maintenance and support
revenues, the cost of such services, maintenance and support was 54% and 69% for
the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000. The Company's support margins are
highest on LanVision's proprietary software. Accordingly, margins are expected
to improve as more customers are added. The support costs declined in the
current period due to greater staff utilization and lower third party
maintenance costs.

The LanVision Professional Services staff provides services on a time and
material or fixed fee basis. The Professional Services staff periodically
experiences some inefficiencies in the delivery of services, and certain
projects have taken longer to complete than originally estimated, thus adversely
affecting operating performance. Additionally, the Professional Services staff
does spend a portion of its time on non-billable activities, such as selling
additional products and services to existing clients, developing training
courses and plans to move existing customers to LanVision's new product
releases, etc. Management believes an increase in the number of new systems
sold, and the related backlog, should improve the overall efficiency and
operating performance of this group.
Cost of Service Bureau Operations
The cost of Service Bureau operations was reduced with the sale of the data
center. The Company now incurs expenses only for the outsourcing services it
uses which are directly related to the Service Bureau Revenues generated by the
ASP Division.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of: compensation
and related benefits and reimbursable travel and living expenses related to the
Company's sales, marketing and administrative personnel; advertising and
marketing expenses, including trade shows and similar type sales and marketing
expenses; and general corporate expenses, including occupancy costs. During the
first quarter of fiscal 2001, Selling, General and Administrative expenses
increased to $868,914 compared with $839,508 in the comparable prior quarter.
The increase in Selling, General and Administrative expenses is due to normal
inflation. The Company has gradually reduced its direct sales staff as the
Company focuses its sales efforts on indirect distribution through its current
and future Remarketing, Reseller and ASP Partners. However, the Company may
increase its direct sales force in the foreseeable future as market
opportunities arise.
Product Research and Development
Product research and development expenses consist primarily of: compensation and
related benefits; the use of independent contractors for specific development
projects; and an allocated portion of general overhead costs, including
occupancy. During the first quarter, research and development expenses were
$340,203 compared with $467,371 in the comparable prior quarter. The decrease
results from lower staff costs and occupancy related expenses. The Company
monitors closely and augments its Research and Development staff, as necessary,
to accelerate the development of new products. The Company capitalized, in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, $125,000 and
$105,000 of product research and development costs in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 and 2000. The capitalized costs during the first quarter of fiscal
2001 relate primarily to LanVision's two new products under development,
accessANYwareSM and codingANYware(SM).
Operating profit (loss)
15
16
The operating profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $472,960 compared
with an operating loss of $702,020 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, an
improvement of approximately $1,175,000. The decrease in the operating loss
results primarily from: (1) continued stringent cost controls which resulted in
decreased operating expenses of approximately $275,000, and (2) increased
revenues of approximately $900,000, primarily software licensing revenues.
Interest income consists primarily of interest on invested cash. The decrease in
interest income results from lower interest rates.
Interest expense relates to the long-term debt.
Net income
The net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $101,541 ($.01 per
share) compared with net income of $314,829 ($.04 per share) in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. Excluding the gain on the sale of the data center from
the first quarter of the prior year, the net loss for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 would have been $1,037,889. This $1,139,430 improvement in net
income results primarily from: (1) the continued stringent cost controls in all
areas, (2) the sale of the data center which reduced the ongoing operating
expenses of the ASP Division and (3) increased revenues of approximately
$900,000, as discussed above
Notwithstanding the less than anticipated number of new customer agreements
signed in the past, management continues to believe that the healthcare document
imaging and workflow market is going to be a significant market. Management
believes it has made, and continues to make, the investments in the talent and
technology necessary to establish the Company as a leader in this marketplace,
and continues to believe the Company is well positioned to experience
significant revenue growth primarily through third party distributors and
remarketing partners.
Since commencing operations in 1989, the Company has incurred operating losses.
Although the Company achieved profitability in fiscal years 1992, 1993 and 2000,
the Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994 through 1999. In view of
the Company's prior operating history, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to achieve consistent profitability on a quarterly or
annual basis or that it will be able to sustain or increase its revenue growth
in future periods. Based upon the expenses associated with current and planned
staffing levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the last five fiscal years, LanVision has funded its operations, working
capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash
generated by operations, an initial public offering and a $6,000,000 loan.
LanVision's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or medical
facilities with good credit histories, and payments have been received within
normal time frames for the industry. However, some healthcare organizations have
experienced significant operating losses as a result of limits on third party
reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental
16
17
entities. Agreements with customers often involve significant amounts and
contract terms typically require customers to make progress payments.
LanVision has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than
noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $245,000,
payable over the next two years.
Over the last several years, LanVision's revenues were less than its internal
plans. However, during the same period, LanVision has expended significant
amounts for capital expenditures, product research and development, sales,
support and consulting expenses. This resulted in significant net cash outlays
over the last five years. Although LanVision has reduced staffing levels and
related expenses, and improved operating performance, LanVision's expenses may
continue to approximate its revenues. Accordingly, to achieve continuing
profitability, and positive cash flow, it is necessary for LanVision to increase
revenues or continue to reduce expenses. LanVision believes that the requirement
for healthcare organizations to become HIPAA compliant should offer a
significant opportunity to increase revenues. Additionally, the SMS Remarketing
Agreement has significantly expanded the sales distribution capabilities.
LanVision believes that market opportunities are such that LanVision should be
able to increase its revenues. However, there can be no assurance LanVision will
be able to increase its revenues.
In February 2000, LanVision sold its Data Center for $2,900,000. LanVision
received $2,000,000 and the remaining $900,000 was received in twelve monthly
installments commencing March 1, 2000. The sale resulted in a gain of
approximately $1,400,000.
At April 30, 2001, LanVision had cash and cash equivalents of $8,107,749. Cash
equivalents consist primarily of overnight bank repurchase agreements and
short-term commercial paper. Under the terms of its loan agreement, as amended,
LanVision has agreed to maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance of
$5,300,000. During fiscal 2001, $1,000,000 of long-term debt is required to be
repaid to the lender, $500,000 quarterly, commencing October 1, 2001.
LanVision has significantly reduced its operating expenses during the last two
fiscal years, and believes it will continue to improve operating results in
fiscal 2001. However, based upon current expenditure levels and in the absence
of increased revenues, LanVision could continue to operate at a loss.
Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, LanVision will need to continually
assess its revenue prospects compared to its current expenditure levels. If it
does not appear likely that revenues will increase, it may be necessary to
further reduce operating expenses or raise cash through additional borrowings,
the sale of assets, or other equity financing. Certain of these actions will
require lender approval. However, there can be no assurance LanVision will be
successful in any of these efforts. If it is necessary to significantly reduce
operating expenses, this could have an adverse effect on future operating
performance. However, at this time, LanVision believes that it should be able to
increase its revenues in fiscal 2001, notwithstanding the uneven pattern of
quarterly revenues as discussed above.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on LanVision's revenues or
expenses. Additionally, LanVision does not have any significant market risk
exposure at April 30, 2001.

SIGNED AGREEMENTS - BACKLOG
LanVision, or its remarketing partners, enter into master agreements with their
customers to specify the scope of the system to be installed and services to be
provided, the agreed upon aggregate price and the timetable for implementation.
The master agreement typically provides that the Company, or its remarketing
partner, will deliver the system in phases pursuant to the customer's purchase
orders, thereby allowing the customer flexibility in the timing of its receipt
of systems and to make adjustments that may arise based upon changes in
technology or changes in customer needs. The master agreement also allows the
customer to request additional components as the installation progresses, which
additions are then separately negotiated as to price and terms. Historically,
customers have ultimately purchased systems and services in addition to those
originally contemplated by the master agreement. Although there can be no
assurance that customers will continue in the future to expand their systems and
purchase additional licenses and services, LanVision believes, based on its past
experience, that its customers will expand their existing systems.
At April 30, 2001, the Company's and SMS' customers had entered into master
agreements for systems and services (excluding support and maintenance and
transaction based revenues for the ASP Division), which had not yet been
delivered, installed and accepted which, if fully performed, would generate
revenue of approximately $4,500,000, compared with approximately $4,255,000 at
the end of fiscal 2000. The systems and services are currently expected to be
delivered over the next two to three years. In addition, the Company anticipates
approximately $2,400,000 in transaction-based fee revenues for the ASP
Division's current client over the remaining thirty-three month life of the
contract. Because systems implementations and Service Bureau ASP fees are
dependent upon the customer's schedule and / or usage, the Company is unable to
accurately predict the amount of revenues in future periods.
The Company's master agreements also generally provide for an initial
maintenance period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance
and support services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance and
support revenues for fiscal years 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately
$3,678,000, $3,264,000, $2,755,000 and $2,151,000, respectively and are expected
to increase as new or expanded systems are installed.
The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and
complexity of the system, the implementation schedule requested by the customer
and usage by customers of the ASP Division. Therefore, LanVision is unable to
accurately predict the revenues it expects to achieve in any particular period.
The Company's master agreements generally provide that the customer may
terminate its agreement upon a material breach by the Company, or may delay
certain aspects of the installation. There can be no assurance that a customer
will not cancel all or any portion of a master agreement or delay installations.
A termination or installation delay of one or more phases of an agreement, or
the failure of the Company to procure additional agreements, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
