putting cash and investments to over $20 million for the first time

the quarter, and we saw continued growth in outsourcing. While we are
pleased with our new sales to existing customers, we continue to focus
our efforts on increasing sales to new customers."

    Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which CPSI defines
as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of
property and equipment. The most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company
believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and uses
this measure as an indication of the financial resources of the
Company and its ability to generate cash.
