NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary ("the Company"). All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the
fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
(2) Earnings Per Share

(3) Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments
At June 30, 2004, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans.
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure", which
amended SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in
accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements, as defined by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees", and related interpretations including Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. No stock-based
7
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted
under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates
the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee
compensation:

The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes
fair value based method with the following weighted average assumptions:
Six Months Ended
----------------
June 30,
--------
2004 2003
---- ----
Expected Life (Years) 5 5
Interest Rate 4% 4%
Annual Rate of Dividends 0% 0%
Volatility 68% 66%
The weighted average fair value of options at date of grant using the fair value
based method during 2004 and 2003 is estimated at $3.95 and $2.34 respectively.
(4) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2004, consists of a
current tax provision of $74,000 and a deferred tax provision of approximately
$295,000. The deferred tax provision was $487,000 based upon utilization of
available net operating loss carry forwards offset by a reduction in the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $192,000. The provision for income
taxes for the period ending June 30, 2003, reflects a deferred tax provision of
approximately $368,000, offset by a reduction in the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance of the same amount. During the June 2003 period, the Company
recognized an additional $100,000 benefit from its net operation loss carry
forward.

(5) Stockholders' Equity
During the six months ended June 30, 2004, options to purchase 36,377 shares
were exercised and the Company received gross proceeds of $161,020. Included in
the gross proceeds received from the exercise of options was the delivery of
4,166 shares of the Company's common stock, which were valued at $53,533, which
was based upon the market price of the common stock on the date of exercise in
accordance with the cashless exercise provisions of the Company's stock option
plans.
Included in the above options exercised were 12,250 options owned by certain of
the Company's officers and members of the Board of Directors, which were
exercised on a cashless basis and represent all cashless exercises during the
six months ended June 30, 2004.
During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company granted the following
options, under the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan, to employees and certain
members of its Board of Directors. For each issue of options granted, the price
per share of each option was equal to the fair market value at the date of each
grant in accordance with the terms of the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The
options granted to date under the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan vest 50% after
six months and 100% after one year.

(6) Operating Segments
The Company currently classifies its operations into three business segments:
(1) Software and Related Systems and Services, (2) Data Center Services and (3)
Application Service Provider ("ASP") Services. Software and Related Systems and
Services is the design, installation, implementation and maintenance of computer
information systems that provide comprehensive healthcare information technology
solutions, including billing, patient tracking and scheduling for inpatient and
outpatient environments, as well as clinical documentation and medical record
generation and management. Data Center Services involves Company personnel
performing data entry and data processing services for customers. Application
Service Provider Services involve the Company offerings of its Avatar suite of
products, its CareNet products and InfoScribeR products on a virtual private
network or internet delivery approach, thereby allowing its customers to rapidly
deploy products and pay on a monthly service basis, thus eliminating capital
intensive system requirements. ASP Services is a new segment established as a
result of the CareNet acquisition in June 2003. Prior to the acquisition of
Carenet, the Company's ASP operations were immaterial and were included in
Software and Related Systems and Services. Intersegment sales and sales outside
the United States are not material. Information concerning the Company's
business segments are as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
Our operations are grouped into three segments:
|X| Software and Related Systems and Services
|X| Data Center (service bureau) Services
|X| Application Service Provider Services (ASP)
Software and Related Systems and Services is the design, installation,
implementation and maintenance of computer information systems that provide
comprehensive healthcare information technology solutions, including billing,
patient tracking and scheduling for inpatient and outpatient environments, as
well as clinical documentation and medical record generation and management.
Data Center Services involves our personnel performing data entry and data
processing services for customers. Application Service Provider services
involves us offering our Avatar suite of products, our CareNet products and
InfoScribeR products on a virtual private network or internet delivery approach,
thereby allowing our customers to rapidly deploy products and pay on a monthly
service basis, thus eliminating capital intensive system requirements. Prior to
the acquisition of CareNet, our ASP operations were immaterial and were included
in Software and Related Systems and Services.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
Results of Operations
Fixed price software development contracts and licenses accounted for 35% and
47% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. This decrease is the result of more labor revenue being generated
on an as incurred basis, as well as a change in the overall mix of our revenue
components. Our recurring revenue components, which include our maintenance
contract services and our Data Center and ASP services, accounted for 41% of our
consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004. These same revenue
components accounted for 35% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2003. We recognize revenue for fixed price contracts on the estimated
percentage of completion basis. Since the billing schedules under the contracts
differ from the recognition of revenue, at the end of any period, these
contracts generally result in either costs and estimated profits in excess of
billing or billing in excess of costs and estimated profits. Revenue from fixed
price software development contracts is determined using the percentage of
completion method which is based upon the time spent by our technical personnel
on a project. As a result, during the third and fourth quarters, when many of
our employees are on vacation and holidays, our revenue is affected. Our time
spent on projects during the second half of the year can generally range from 1%
to 10% less than time spent on projects during the first half of the year.
Our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (the "June 2004
period") was $14,012,000, an increase of $1,304,000, or 10%, from our revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (the "June 2003 period"), which was
$12,708,000.
Revenue from contracts from state and local government agencies represented 48%
of revenue in the June 2004 period and 61% of revenue in the June 2003 period.
This decrease is the result of the substantial completion towards the end of
2003 of one state contract and two county contracts.
Software and Related Systems and Services
Our Software and Related Systems and Services revenue for the June 2004 period
was $12,273,000, an increase of $524,000, or 4%, from our revenue for the June
11
2003 period, which was $11,749,000. Software and related systems and services
revenue is comprised of turnkey systems labor revenue, revenue from sales of
third party hardware and software, license revenue, maintenance revenue and
revenue from small turnkey systems.
The largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which
increased to $4,708,000 in the June 2004 period from $4,500,000 in the June 2003
period, reflecting a 5% increase. Turnkey systems labor revenue refers to labor
associated with turnkey installations and includes categories such as training,
installation, project management and development. This increase was
substantially the result of an increased staff working on turnkey labor
contracts. Labor rate price changes from the June 2004 period to the June 2003
period resulted in a 4% increase in the average daily billing rate and accounted
for approximately $84,000, or 40%, of the total turnkey systems labor increase.
Revenue from third party hardware and software decreased to $2,045,000 in the
June 2004 period, from $2,146,000 in the June 2003 period, which represents a
decrease of 5%. Sales of third party hardware and software, such as pharmacy and
database software, are made in connection with the sales of turnkey systems.
These sales are typically made at lower gross margins than our human services
revenue. During the June 2004 period, we did not sell and perform on as many
contracts containing such third party items. License revenue decreased to
$1,044,000 in the June 2004 period, from $1,245,000 in the June 2003 period
reflecting a decrease of 16%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of
a human services information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order
that includes delivery of the system and maintenance. The decrease was entirely
in the second quarter due to the fact that during such period, we did not sell
and perform on as many contracts containing license revenue as in the prior
fiscal period. In addition, in order to encourage our existing customers to
upgrade from our old product to our new Avatar product, we discounted the
license fees to our existing clients. Maintenance revenue increased to
$3,969,000 in the June 2004 period from $3,487,000 in the June 2003 period,
reflecting an increase of 14%. As turnkey systems are completed, they are
transitioned to the maintenance division, thereby increasing our installed base.
Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division increased to $507,000 in
the June 2004 period from $371,000 in the June 2003 period, reflecting an
increase of 37%. This increase is the result of the introduction of our new
Avatar Addictions Management product into the market place during the latter
part of 2003. Small turnkey division sales relate to turnkey contracts that are
less than $50,000 and are usually completed within one month.
Gross profit increased to $6,443,000 in the June 2004 period from $4,824,000 in
the June 2003 period, reflecting an increase of 34%. Our gross margin percentage
increased to 52% in the June 2004 period from 41% in the June 2003 period. Our
gross margin percentage increased primarily as a result of improved margins on
our turnkey labor revenue, which was the result of improved efficiency on our
fixed price contracts.
Data Center Services (Service Bureau)
Data center clients typically generate approximately the same amount of revenue
each year. We bill on a transaction basis or on a fixed fee arrangement.
Historically, each year we increase the transaction or fixed fees by an amount
that approximates the New York urban consumer price index increase. The data
center revenue increased to $997,000 in the June 2004 period from $959,000 in
the June 2003 period, representing an increase of $38,000, or 4%. This increase
was due to an increase in the client base as well as increases in pricing.
Gross profit increased to $566,000 in the June 2004 period from $428,000 in the
June 2003 period, reflecting an increase of 32%. Our gross margin percentage
increased to 57% in the June 2004 period from 45% in the June 2003 period. This
increase was the result of the increase in revenue as well as a reduction in
costs of approximately $101,000. The cost reductions were in the area of payroll
and fringe benefits in the amount of $22,000, bad debts in the amount of
$15,000, support overhead in the amount of $37,000 and facility costs in the
amount of $10,000.

Application Service Provider Services ("ASP")
Application Service Provider Services involves the offering of our Avatar suite
of products, our CareNet products and our InfoScribeR products on a virtual
private network or internet delivery approach, thereby allowing our customers to
rapidly deploy products and pay on a monthly service basis, thus eliminating
capital intensive system requirements. This is the first year that we have
accounted for ASP Services as a segment. This is the result of our acquisition
of CareNet on June 25, 2003. Prior to that time, our ASP operations were
immaterial.
Revenue for the June 2004 period was $742,000, which consisted of revenue from
our CareNet operations of $391,000, revenue from our InfoScribeR operations of
$111,000 and revenue from our Avatar ASP services operations of $240,000.
Gross profit for the June 2004 period was $303,000 and our gross margin
percentage was 41%.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,734,000 in the June 2004
period, reflecting an increase of $307,000, or 9%, from the $3,427,000 in the
June 2003 period. The increases were: advertising and promotion, which increased
by $57,000; trade show costs, which increased by $36,000; depreciation expense
which increased by $178,000; amortization of the CareNet acquisition costs,
which was $143,000 in the June 2004 period and not present in the June 2003
period; accounting costs, which increased by $39,000 and general insurance
costs, which increased by $38,000. The cost increases were partially offset by
reductions in: bad debt expense, which decreased by $115,000 and the provision
for bonuses which decreased by $115,000.
We incurred research, development and maintenance expenses of $2,380,000 in the
June 2004 period, an increase of 152% from the $943,000 in the June 2003 period.
During 2004, we invested in infrastructure to improve the way we support our
customers and products. These changes related to redirecting resources that were
previously in the cost of goods sold area, where they performed actual program
"bug" fixing procedures, to our research, development and maintenance area.
These resources now perform product version control, which includes design,
programming, testing, documentation and quality control of our products. These
efforts accounted for a substantial increase in our research, development and
maintenance expenses. The increase in research, development and maintenance
expense is also the result of continuing investment in product enhancement and
extensions. These extensions include the development of new software modules
which addresses Federal reporting requirements, as well as continued investment
in core products. These amounts have been appropriately accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed."
Interest and other expense was $77,000 in the June 2004 period, a decrease of
$24,000, or 24%, from the $102,000 in the June 2003 period. This decrease is the
result of the completion of the amortization of the financing costs associated
with our loan agreement, which was amortized over a three year period, as well
as reduced borrowing during the June 2004 period under our loan with Fleet Bank.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in borrowing related to the
promissory note issued to Shuttle Data Systems Corp. in connection with our
acquisition of CareNet.
Interest income was $64,000 in the June 2004 period, an increase of $34,000, or
112%, from the $31,000 in the June 2003 period. Interest income is generated
from short-term investments made with a substantial portion of the proceeds
received from the term loan, as well as cash generated from operations and the
proceeds of the exercise of options and warrants.
We have a net operating loss tax carry forward of approximately $5.3 million at
June 30, 2004. In the June 2004 period, we recorded a current income tax expense
of $74,000, which related to various state and local taxes, as well as a
13
provision for the Federal alternative minimum tax. The income tax provision was
increased by a deferred tax provision of $295,000. The deferred tax provision
was $487,000 based on utilization of net operating loss carry forwards offset by
a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $192,000.
As a result of the foregoing factors, in the June 2004 period we had net income
of $818,000, or $.15 per share (basic and diluted). For the June 2003 period, we
had net income of $793,000, or $.20 per share (basic) and $.18 per share
(diluted).
Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
Results of Operations
Fixed price software development contracts and licenses accounted for 37% and
46% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. This decrease is the result of more labor revenue being generated
on an as incurred basis, as well as a change in the overall mix of our revenue
components. Our recurring revenue components, which include our maintenance
contract services and our Data Center and ASP services, accounted for 41% of our
consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004. These same
revenue components accounted for 35% of consolidated revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2003. We recognize revenue for fixed price contracts on
the estimated percentage of completion basis. Since the billing schedules under
the contracts differ from the recognition of revenue, at the end of any period,
these contracts generally result in either costs and estimated profits in excess
of billing or billing in excess of cost and estimated profits. Revenue from
fixed price software development contracts is determined using the percentage of
completion method which is based upon the time spent by our technical personnel
on a project. As a result, during the third and fourth quarters, when many of
our employees are on vacation and holidays, our revenue is affected. Our time
spent on projects during the second half of the year can generally range from 1%
to 10% less than time spent on projects during the first half of the year.
Our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (the "June 2004
quarter") was $7,189,000, an increase of $213,000, or 9%, from our revenue for
the three months ended June 30, 2003 (the "June 2003 quarter"), which was
$6,589,000.
Revenue from contracts from state and local government agencies represented 48%
of revenue in the June 2004 quarter and 61% of revenue in the June 2003 quarter.
This decrease is the result of the substantial completion towards the end of
2003 of one state contract and two county contracts.
Software and Related Systems and Services
Our Software and Related Systems and Services revenue for the June 2004 quarter
was $6,293,000, an increase of $204,000, or 3%, from our revenue for the June
2003 quarter, which was $6,088,000. Software and related systems and services
revenue is comprised of turnkey systems labor revenue, revenue from sales of
third party hardware and software, license revenue, maintenance revenue and
revenue from small turnkey systems.
The largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which
increased to $2,442,000 in the June 2004 quarter from $2,282,000 in the June
2003 quarter, reflecting a 7% increase. Turnkey systems labor revenue refers to
labor associated with turnkey installations and includes categories such as
training, installation, project management and development. This increase was
substantially the result of an increased staff working on turnkey labor
contracts. Labor rate price changes from the June 2004 quarter to the June 2003
quarter resulted in a 3% increase in the average daily billing rate and
accounted for approximately $41,000, or 25%, of the total turnkey systems labor
increase. Revenue from third party hardware and software decreased to $1,164,000
14
in the June 2004 quarter, from $1,167,000 in the June 2003 quarter, which
represents a decrease of less than 1%. Sales of third party hardware and
software, such as pharmacy and data base software, are made in connection with
the sales of turnkey systems. These sales are typically made at lower gross
margins than our human services revenue. License revenue decreased to $414,000
in the June 2004 quarter from $650,000 in the June 2003 quarter, reflecting a
decrease of 36%. License revenue is generated as part of a sale of a human
services information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order that
includes delivery of the system and maintenance. During the June 2004 quarter we
did not sell and perform on as many contracts containing license revenue as in
the June 2003 quarter. In addition, in order to encourage our existing customers
to upgrade from our old product to our new Avatar product we discounted the
license fees to our existing clients. Maintenance revenue increased to
$2,052,000 in the June 2004 quarter, from $1,774,000 in the June 2003 quarter,
reflecting an increase of 16%. As turnkey systems are completed, they are
transitioned to the maintenance division, thereby increasing our installed base.
Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey division increased to $220,000 in
the June 2004 quarter, from $216,000 in the June 2003 quarter, reflecting an
increase of 2%. This increase is the result of the introduction of our new
Avatar AM product into the market place during the latter part of 2003. Small
turnkey division sales relate to turnkey contracts that are less than $50,000
and are usually completed within one month.
Gross profit increased to $3,422,000 in the June 2004 quarter from $2,508,000 in
the June 2003 quarter, reflecting an increase of 36%. Our gross margin
percentage increased to 54% in the June 2004 quarter from 41% in the June 2003
quarter. Our gross margin percentage increased primarily as a result of improved
margins on our turnkey labor revenue, which was the result of improved
efficiency on our fixed price contracts.
Data Center Services (Service Bureau)
Data center clients typically generate approximately the same amount of revenue
each year. We bill on a transaction basis or on a fixed fee arrangement.
Historically, each year we increase the transaction or fixed fees by an amount
that approximates the New York urban consumer price index increase. The data
center revenue increased to $509,000 in the June 2004 quarter, from $501,000 in
the June 2003 quarter, representing an increase of $8,000, or 2%. This increase
was due to increases in pricing.
Gross profit increased to $293,000 in the June 2004 quarter from $235,000 in the
June 2003 quarter, reflecting an increase of 24%. Our gross margin percentage
increased to 57% in the June 2004 quarter from 47% in the June 2003 quarter.
This increase was the result of a reduction in costs of approximately $49,000.
The costs reductions were in the area of payroll and fringe benefits in the
amount of $15,000, bad debts in the amount of $8,000, support overhead in the
amount of $16,000 and facility costs in the amount of $7,000.
Application Service Provider Services ("ASP")
Application Service Provider Services involves the offering of our Avatar suite
of products, our CareNet products and our InfoScribeR products on a virtual
private network or internet delivery approach, thereby allowing our customers to
rapidly deploy products and pay on a monthly service basis, thus eliminating
capital intensive system requirements. This is the first year that we have
accounted for ASP Services as a segment. This is the result of our acquisition
of CareNet on June 25, 2003. Prior to that time, our ASP operations were
immaterial.
Revenue for the June 2004 quarter was $387,000, which consisted of revenue from
our CareNet operations of $207,000, revenue from our InfoScribeR operations of
$53,000 and revenue from our Avatar ASP services operations of $127,000.
Gross profit for the June 2004 quarter was $174,000 and our gross margin
percentage was 45%.
15
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,903,000 in the June 2004
quarter, reflecting an increase of $140,000, or 8%, from the $1,763,000 in the
June 2003 quarter. The increases were: commissions, which increased by $81,000;
depreciation expense which increased by $82,000; amortization of the CareNet
acquisition costs, which was $73,000 in the June 2004 quarter and not present in
the June 2003 quarter; accounting costs, which increased by $38,000; investor
relations cost which increased by $24,000 and general insurance cost, which
increased by $19,000. The cost increases were partially offset by reductions in:
bad debt expense, which decreased by $42,000; other taxes which decreased by
$34,000 and the provision for bonuses which decreased by $94,000.
We incurred research, development and maintenance expenses of $1,340,000 in the
June 2004 quarter, an increase of 210% from the $433,000 in the June 2003
quarter. During 2004, we invested in infrastructure to improve the way we
support our customers and products. These changes related to redirecting
resources that were previously in the cost of goods sold area, where they
performed actual program "bug" fixing procedures, to our research, development
and maintenance area. These resources now perform product version control, which
includes design, programming, testing, documentation and quality control of our
products. These efforts accounted for a substantial increase in our research,
development and maintenance expenses. The increase in research, development and
maintenance expense is also the result of continuing investment in product
enhancement and extensions. These extensions include the development of new
software modules which addresses Federal reporting requirements, as well as
continued investment in core products. These amounts have been appropriately
accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed."
Interest and other expense was $36,000 in the June 2004 quarter, a decrease of
$33,000, or 48%, from the $60,000 in the June 2003 quarter. This decrease is the
result of the completion of the amortization of the financing costs associated
with our loan agreement, which was amortized over a three year period, as well
as reduced borrowing during the June 2004 quarter under our loan with Fleet
Bank. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in borrowing related to
the promissory note issued to Shuttle Data Systems Corp. in connection with our
acquisition of CareNet.
Interest income was $33,000 in the June 2004 quarter, an increase of $15,000, or
82%, from the $18,000 in the June 2003 quarter. Interest income is generated
from short-term investments made with a substantial portion of the proceeds
received from the term loan, as well as cash generated from operations and the
proceeds of the exercise of options and warrants.
We have a net operating loss tax carry forward of approximately $5.3 million at
June 30, 2004. In the June 2004 quarter, we recorded a current income tax
expense of $43,000, which related to various state and local taxes, as well as a
provision for the Federal alternative minimum tax. The income tax provision was
increased by a deferred tax provision of $108,000. The deferred tax provision
was $248,000 based on utilization of net operating loss carry forwards offset by
a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $140,000.
As a result of the foregoing factors, in the June 2004 quarter we had net income
of $493,000, or $.09 per share (basic and diluted). For the June 2003 quarter,
we had net income of $521,000, or $.13 per share (basic) and $.12 per share
(diluted).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital of approximately $15.6 million at June 30, 2004 as
compared to working capital of approximately $14.7 million at December 31, 2003.
This increase of approximately $900,000 in working capital was the result of the
following: our net income, after adding back depreciation and amortization and
16
adjusting for the change in the current portion of the deferred tax asset,
increased working capital by $1,745,000. The increase in working capital also
included $107,000 in net proceeds from the exercise of our stock options. These
increases were partially offset by an investment in capitalized software of
$117,000, by an additional $493,000 for the acquisition of equipment and by
$233,000 for the acquisition of certain software and customer lists. The
remaining decrease in working capital of $95,000 was due to changes in other
current assets and liabilities.
In June 2001, we entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement with
Fleet Bank ("Fleet"). This financing provides us with a five-year term loan of
$2.5 million, as well as a two year $1.5 million revolving line of credit. The
$1.5 million line of credit expired in June 2003. We did not utilize this line
of credit during its duration. The current term loan bears interest at LIBOR
plus 2.5%. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Fleet for
the amount outstanding under the term loan whereby we converted our variable
rate on the term loan to a fixed rate of 7.95% in order to reduce the interest
rate risk associated with these borrowings. We have made principal payments on
the $2.5 million term loan and the amount outstanding at June 30, 2004 is $1.0
million.
The terms of our term loan agreement require compliance with certain covenants,
including maintaining a minimum net equity of $9 million, minimum cash reserves
of $500,000, maintenance of certain financial ratios, limitations on capital
expenditures and indebtedness and prohibition of the payment of cash dividends.
As of June 30, 2004, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of this
agreement. We are currently exploring our options with Fleet, relating to the
possible increase in the amount of the term loan to be used primarily for
acquisitions.
On February 27, 2003, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to
$100,000 of our common stock at any time the market price is less than $3.50 per
share. Purchases of stock will be made from time to time, depending on market
conditions, in open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at prices
deemed appropriate by management. There is no set time limit on the purchases.
We expect to fund any stock repurchases from our operating cash flow. As of June
30, 2004, we have not made any stock repurchases.
In June 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the CareNet segment
of Shuttle Data Systems Corporation, d/b/a Adia Information Management Corp. The
total purchase price included, among other consideration, a three year
promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 payable in 36 equal monthly
installments of principal plus interest at the prime rate plus 1%. We have made
the required principal and interest payments on the note and the principal
amount outstanding at June 30, 2004 is $333,000.
In the June 2004 period, we incurred capitalized software development costs of
$117,000 relating to our RAD Plus 2004 product.
A part of our growth strategy is to acquire other businesses that are related to
our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash, our securities,
or a combination of cash and securities. If we fail to make any acquisitions our
future growth will be limited to only internal growth. As of the date of this
Form 10-Q quarterly report, we did not have any formal or informal agreements or
understandings with respect to any material acquisitions, and we cannot give any
assurance that we will be able to complete any material acquisitions.
Based on our outstanding contracts and our continuing business, we believe that
our cash flow from operations and our cash on hand will be sufficient to enable
us to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. It is possible
that we may need additional funding if we go forward with certain acquisitions
or if our business does not develop as we anticipate or if our expenses,
including our software development costs relating to our expansion of our
product line and our marketing costs for seeking to expand the market for our
products and services to include smaller clinics and facilities and sole group
practitioners, exceed our expectation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting
principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We
believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are
reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these
estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and
assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the periods presented. Among other things, estimates are
used in accounting for allowances for bad debts, deferred income taxes, expected
realizable values of assets (primarily capitalized software development costs
and customer lists) and revenue recognition. To the extent there are material
differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual
results, our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting
policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and
evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Revenue Recognition
Capitalized Software Development Costs
Impairment of Customer Lists
18
Revenue Recognition: Revenue associated with fixed price turnkey sales consists
of the following components: licensing of software, labor associated with the
installation and implementation of the software; and maintenance services
rendered in connection with such licensing activities. Revenue from fixed price
software development contracts and revenue under license agreements, which
require significant modification of the software package to the customer's
specifications, are recognized utilizing the estimated percentage-of-completion
method which uses the units-of-work-performed method to measure progress towards
completion. Revisions in cost estimates and recognition of losses on these
contracts are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts become
known. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the
assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the
percentage of completion method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue and
related expenses reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. A number of
internal and external factors can affect our estimates, including labor rates,
utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement
changes. Maintenance contract revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the life of the respective contract. We also derive revenue from the sale
of third party hardware and software which is recognized based upon the terms of
each contract. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.
Data Center revenue and Application Service Provider revenue are recognized in
the period in which the services are provided. The above sources of revenue are
recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable.
Contract terms often provide for billing schedules that differ from revenue
recognition and give rise to costs and estimated profits in excess of billings,
and billings in excess of costs and estimated profits.
Deferred revenue represents revenue billed and collected but not yet earned.
The cost of maintenance revenue, which consists solely of staff payroll and
applicable overhead, is expensed as incurred.
Capitalized Software Development Costs - Capitalization of computer software
development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility and
ends upon its availability for general release to customers. Technological
feasibility for our computer software products is generally based upon
achievement of a detail program design free of high risk development issues. The
Company capitalizes only those costs directly attributable to the development of
the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing
assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs
require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external
factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated
future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and
hardware technology. Prior to reaching technological feasibility these costs are
expensed as incurred and included in research, development and maintenance.
Activities undertaken after the products are available for general release to
customers to correct errors or keep the product updated are expensed as incurred
and included in research, development and maintenance. Amortization of
capitalized computer software development costs commences when the related
products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is
provided on a product by product basis. The annual amortization is the greater
of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a
product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for
that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated
economic life of the product. The estimated life of these products range from 3
to 8 years.
We periodically perform reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized
software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are
not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the
applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.
19
Impairment of Customer Lists - Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", we evaluate our long-lived assets
for financial impairment, and continue to evaluate them as events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully
recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring
the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the
future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient
to recover the carrying amount of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their
fair values.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Form 10-Q quarterly report may be "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or
any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by
management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is
expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous
factors, including those described below and those risks discussed from time to
time in our Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003,
including the risks described under "Risk Factors" and in other documents which
we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, such
statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to product
demand, market and customer acceptance, competition, government regulations and
requirements, pricing and development difficulties, as well as general industry
and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and
we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q.
Risk Factors
Intellectual Property Rights
We defend our intellectual property rights, but unlicensed copying and use of
software and intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue to us.
General Economic and Geo-Political Risks
Softness in healthcare information technology spending or other changes in
general economic conditions that affect demand for computer software could
adversely affect our revenue. Terrorist activity and armed conflict pose the
additional risk of general economic disruption. These conditions lend additional
uncertainty to the timing and budget for technology investment decisions by our
customers.
Competition
We continue to experience intensive competition across all markets for our
products and services. These competitive pressures may result in decreased sales
volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for
marketing and sales incentives, resulting in lower revenue, gross margins and
operating income.
20
Technology
Our success depends upon our ability to develop new products and enhance our
existing products. Rapid technological advances in hardware and software
development, evolving standards in computer hardware, software technology and
communications infrastructure, changing customer needs and frequent new product
introductions and enhancements characterize the enterprise software market in
which we compete. To keep pace with technological developments, satisfy
increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and achieve market acceptance,
we must enhance and improve our existing products and continue to introduce new
products and services. If we are unable to develop new products or adapt our
current products to run on new or popular operating systems, if we are unable to
enhance and improve our products successfully in a timely manner, or if we fail
to position and/or price our products to meet market demand, customers may not
buy new software licenses and our business and operating results will be
adversely affected. If our enhancement to existing products does not deliver the
functionality that our customer base demands, our customers may not renew
product support and our business and operating results will be adversely
affected. In addition, standards for network protocols, as well as other
industry adopted and de facto standards for the internet, are rapidly evolving.
We cannot provide any assurance that the standards on which we choose to develop
new products will allow us to compete effectively for business opportunities as
they arise in emerging areas. Accelerated product introductions and short
product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and
development that could adversely affect our operating results. Further, any new
products we develop may not be introduced in a timely manner and may not achieve
the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenues. Finally,
while customers make first-time buying decisions based on the products, many
make future license and support buying decisions based upon the quality of the
support offering. If we do not continue to enhance our support services our
renewal rates for product support may decline, which would adversely affect our
operating results.
Sales and Marketing
Our sales forecasts may not consistently correlate to revenues in a particular
quarter. We use a "pipeline" system, a common industry practice, to forecast
sales and trends in our business. Our sales personnel monitor the status of all
proposals, such as the date when they estimate that a customer will make a
purchase decision and the potential dollar amount of the sale. These estimates
are aggregated periodically to generate a sales pipeline. We compare this
pipeline at various points in time to evaluate trends in our business. This
analysis provides some guidance in business planning and budgeting, but these
pipeline estimates are by their nature speculative. Our pipeline estimates are
not necessarily reliable predictors of revenues in a particular quarter or over
a longer period of time, partially because of changes in conversion rates of the
pipeline into contracts that can be very difficult to estimate. A variation in
the conversion rate of the pipeline into contracts, or in the pipeline itself,
could cause us to plan or budget incorrectly and thereby adversely affect our
business or results of operations. In particular, a slowdown in information
technology spending or economic conditions can cause purchasing decisions to be
delayed, reduced in amount or cancelled, which would reduce the overall pipeline
conversion rate in a particular period of time.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions and investments present many risks, and we may not realize the
financial and strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of any
transaction. We have in the past and expect in the future to acquire or make
investments in complementary companies, products, services and technologies. The
risks we may encounter in acquisitions and investments include:
* we may find that the acquired company or assets do not further
our business strategy or that we paid more than what the company or
assets are worth;
* we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the
acquired businesses;
* we may have difficulty incorporating the acquired technologies or
products with our existing product lines;
21
* we may have product liability, customer liability or intellectual
property liability associated with the sale of the acquired company's
products;
* our ongoing business may be disrupted by transition or integration
issues;
* our management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns;
* our management may not be able to improve our financial and strategic
position;
* the acquisition may result in litigation from terminated employees or
third parties; and
* our due diligence process may fail to identify significant issues with
the target's product quality, financial disclosures and accounting
practices, product architecture and legal contingencies, among other
matters.
These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows, particularly in the case of a
larger acquisition or number of acquisitions.
We previously have generally paid for acquisitions in cash and stock. We may in
the future pay for acquisitions in whole or in part with stock or other
equity-related purchase rights. To the extent that we issue shares of stock or
other rights to purchase stock, including options and other rights, existing
stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease.
Stock Option Fair Value Method
If we account for employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans using
the fair value method, it could significantly reduce our net income and earnings
per share. There has been ongoing public debate whether employee stock option
and employee stock purchase plans shares should be treated as a compensation
expense and, if so, how to properly value such charges. If we elected or were
required to record an expense for our stock-based compensation plans using the
fair value method, we could have significant accounting charges. For example, in
the first six months of fiscal 2004, had we accounted for stock-based
compensation plans using the fair-value method prescribed in FASB Statement No.
123 as amended by Statement 148, net income would have been reduced by
approximately $362,000. Although we are not currently required to record any
compensation expense using the fair value method in connection with option
grants that have an exercise price at or above fair market value at the grant
date and for shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan, future laws
or regulations could require us to treat all stock-based compensation as an
expense using the fair value method.
Business Disruptions
Business disruptions could adversely affect our future operating results. Our
operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected in the event of a major earthquake, fire or other catastrophic event.
We are a highly automated business and a disruption or failure of our systems
could cause delays in completing sales and providing services.
Dependence on government contracts
Because we are particularly dependent upon government contracts, any decrease in
funding for entitlement programs could result in decreased revenue. We market
our health information systems principally to behavioral healthcare facilities,
many of which are operated by state and local government entities and include
entitlement programs. We generate a significant portion of our revenue from
contracts that are directly or indirectly with government agencies. Government
agencies generally have the right to cancel contracts at their convenience. Our
ability to generate business from government agencies is affected by funding for
entitlement programs, and our revenue would decline if state agencies reduce
this funding.
22
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. Our debt is
at fixed rates of interest after completing an interest rate swap agreement,
which effectively converted our variable rate debt into a fixed rate debt of
7.95%. Therefore, if the LIBOR rate plus 2.5% increases above 7.95%, it may have
a positive effect on our net income.
Most of our cash and cash equivalents, which are invested in money market
accounts and commercial paper, are at variable rates of interest. If short-term
market interest rates decrease by 10% from the levels at June 30, 2004, the
effect on our net income would be a decrease of approximately $12,000 per year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation and Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
period covered by this Form 10-Q, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
insure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
with the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are
met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been
detected.
