Page 4 HCIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 1997 (Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996 as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 (1934 Act File No. 0-25378). (2) Cash Equivalents As of March 31, 1997, cash equivalents consist of highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired by the Company. (3) New Accounting Standard In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," ("SFAS No. 128") which becomes effective December 15, 1997. Early adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not permitted. Under SFAS No. 128, the Company will be required to disclose basic earnings per share (with the principal difference from current disclosure being that common stock equivalents will not be considered in the compilation for basic earnings per share) and diluted earnings per share. The pro forma computation of earnings per share, under SFAS No. 128 is as follows. Three Months Ended ---------------------------------- March 31, 1997 March 31, 1996 -------------- -------------- Basic Earnings Per Share $0.21 $0.14 Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.21 $0.14 Page 5 Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to three months ended March 31, 1996 Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $25.7 million, an increase of $11.5 million or 81% over the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily the result of a 97% increase in revenue from the sale of Decision Support Systems. Revenue from the sale of Decision Support Systems represented 91% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and Syndicated Products represented the remaining 9% of revenue. The increase in Decision Support Systems revenue was primarily the result of the Company's continued success in expanding its customer relationships in the supplier and provider markets, and as a result of the acquisition of LBA Healthcare Management, Inc. ("LBA"). Salaries Wages and Benefits. Salaries, wages and benefits decreased to 42% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 47% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease was a result of the continued leveraging of the Company's historical investments in technology and basic infrastructure as revenue increased. Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses, which include occupancy, travel and marketing expenses, increased to 24% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 23% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was a result of certain of these expenses, primarily marketing and travel, growing at a faster rate than revenue. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to 18% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 16% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was a result of the additional amortization and depreciation associated with the acquisitions of HealthChex, Inc., Response Healthcare Information Management, Inc., and LBA. Interest Income and Expense. Net interest income was $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with net interest income of $199,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This change was the result of a lower invested balance in 1997. Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with 39.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This higher rate was due to an increase in non-deductible goodwill. Page 6 Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company maintains a $50 million (subject to certain borrowing limitations) revolving line of credit with First Union National Bank of North Carolina ("First Union") for general corporate purposes including future acquisitions and working capital requirements. Borrowings under this line are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, and bear interest at varying rates based on an index tied to First Union's prime rate or LIBOR. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the facility at a rate from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum, depending on the Company's debt/cash flow ratio. The credit facility also contains financial covenants applicable to HCIA, including debt/cash flow ratios and ratios of debt to capital. As of March 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all such financial covenants and had a maximum borrowing capacity of $50 million, and there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility. The credit facility reduces to $37.5 million in July 1999, $25 million in July 2000 and expires on July 31, 2001.
