COMPANY OVERVIEW
Medical Information Technology, Inc. (MEDITECH) was founded in 1969 to develop
and market information system software for the hospital industry. During 2003
combined product and service revenue was $270.8M, operating income was $99.7M
and net income was $67.4M, up 5.7%, 5.0% and 5.6% compared to the prior year.
Product bookings were $158.3M and the resultant product backlog was $114.8M, up
10.2% and 6.8% compared to the prior year. By the year's end MEDITECH had more
than 2,000 employees, and over 1,700 active hospital customers throughout the
U.S., Canada and the U.K.
HOSPITAL SOFTWARE
Initially MEDITECH developed a software product to automate one of the main
hospital departments, the clinical laboratory which performs various diagnostic
tests on blood and urine specimens. Within a few years, this product became
standardized, thereby requiring minimal adaptation to meet the individual needs
of a typical customer. MEDITECH extended the concept and developed additional
software products for the rest of a hospital's clinical departments. Eventually,
it moved into the financial area by developing a hospital billing and accounts
receivable product as well as various general accounting products.
Although the individual products could be operated in a stand alone fashion, a
hospital achieved maximum effectiveness when they were used in an integrated
mode, sharing access to the common clinical and financial records of the
hospital. This concept ultimately led to MEDITECH developing the so-called
hospital information system, a cohesive set of software products designed from
the outset to work in conjunction with the overall operation of the hospital and
to minimize the need for specialized interfaces.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
Sophisticated software, such as MEDITECH's, requires extensive computer and
communication equipment to function. In spite of this, MEDITECH continues to be
a pure software company, limiting itself to specifying the aggregate components
needed as well as suggesting typical configurations from certain hardware
vendors. The responsibility is left to the hospital to purchase the requisite
hardware and secure a continuing source of maintenance service for it.
The hardware components traditionally consist of a small set of central medium-
sized computers and a large set of display terminals and printers distributed
throughout the hospital. All of these elements are interconnected by means of a
standard high speed communication network. The computers execute the software
and include large disk subsystems containing the permanent and common clinical
and financial records of the hospital.
Hardware technology evolves rapidly, and the current trend is to replace the
display terminals with desktop and handheld computers, thereby forming a client
server network. In this mode of operation, the central computers become the file
servers while software is executed locally on the client computer which makes
file requests to the servers.
Page 4
LICENSED SOFTWARE
MEDITECH requires a customer to sign a standard software license agreement prior
to product delivery, implementation and subsequent service of the software. This
agreement specifies a front end product fee and a front end implementation fee
both of which are payable over the implementation process, and a monthly service
fee after the site goes live. In addition to precluding hospital ownership and
restricting transfer, the license mandates the hospital hold MEDITECH harmless
from any liability arising from incorrect operation of the software.
MEDITECH bases its product fee on the total number of hospital beds a customer
operates at all of its sites, and sets its implementation fee on the total
number of sites. Large hospitals pay more than small hospitals, but incremental
fees continue to diminish. The monthly service fees are always 1% of the product
fees. A typical 250 bed acute care hospital might incur a $500,000 product fee,
$100,000 implementation fee and a $5,000 monthly service fee. An order is booked
when a signed software license and a 10% deposit are received.
STAFF ORGANIZATION
MEDITECH is organized into functional units grouped around product development,
sales and marketing, implementation, customer service, accounting and facility
operations. All MEDITECH staff work in five company owned facilities in the
greater Boston area.
From its inception, MEDITECH utilized communication technology which allowed
much of its business activities to be performed by remote access. MEDITECH staff
sitting at their desks may access client hospitals, both personnel and
computers. The need for remote offices is thereby negated. Although most
customer contact is through the phone or e-mail, certain of the sales and
implementation staff travel to customer sites.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Most of the product development staff is working on the incremental evolution of
the current product line, as well as the creation of new products each year.
The rest of the staff is developing a set of replacement products utilizing a
new technology. Approximately every ten years, MEDITECH introduces the next
generation of products based on the new technology and gradually updates
existing customers.
SALES AND MARKETING
Most of the direct sales staff, organized into regions, concentrate on new
prospects. In addition, some of the sales staff monitor existing customers to
expose them to MEDITECH's entire product line. Marketing activities and
promotion are low key because hospitals are easily identified, finite in number
and generally send a request for proposal to vendors when they contemplate the
purchase of a hospital information system.
During the sales process, prospects generally visit MEDITECH to talk to product
specialists and to view product demonstrations. Thereafter they are encouraged
to visit various MEDITECH customer sites to observe first hand the software in
actual operation and to discuss issues of concern with hospital personnel.
Page 5
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
To ensure a successful implementation, the staff must properly train a core
group of hospital personnel about the operation of the software and how to use
it in their daily activity. To preclude interruptions from normal hospital
activities, MEDITECH mandates the hospital personnel come to the Boston area for
intensive training sessions.
As training proceeds, the implementation staff customizes certain dictionaries
to fit the specific need of the hospital's environment, provide interfaces to
non-MEDITECH systems and to assist the hospital in converting data from legacy
systems. In addition, the licensed software will be delivered, installed and
tested on the customer's hardware. MEDITECH will utilize remote access
communication technology to minimize or eliminate the need to travel.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Once a hospital goes live, the responsibility of maintaining the customer is
transferred to the service staff. MEDITECH provides 24 hour a day service
coverage to these customers in order to respond to problem calls. In addition,
the staff updates customers with new releases of the software products as they
become available. To ensure the continuing education of the hospital staff,
MEDITECH runs seminars on the use of its products.
HCA-THE HEALTHCARE COMPANY
HCA-The Healthcare Company owns or operates over 300 hospitals in the U.S.,
Canada, and the U.K. and has been MEDITECH's largest customer for some time. All
of their hospitals operate with MEDITECH's clinical systems. They represented
10% of MEDITECH revenues in 2001, 10% in 2002 and 9% in 2003.
COMPETITION
The market for health care information systems is subject to the technological
imperative. Accordingly, MEDITECH has a completely integrated set of application
products, implements them successfully, provides ongoing maintenance including
updates and continues the developmental process. The Company's competitors who
make similar claims include Siemens Corporation, McKesson Corporation, Cerner
Corporation, IDX Systems Corporation and Eclipsys Corporation. MEDITECH does
not offer the breadth of products and services which the competition offers to
hospitals as well as the products and services which the competition offers to
related medical enterprises. Instead MEDITECH focuses exclusively in the
hospital information system software market and believes it competes favorably
with respect to the software offering of the competition.
ACCESS TO SEC FILINGS
"www.meditech.com" is the Company's website address which provides access to
its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current
reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments thereof just as soon as such reports

Item 2 - Properties
As of December 31, 2003 the Company owned five facilities containing about 1.1
million square feet of space, all being well maintained Class A properties in
the greater Boston area. The Company occupies 60% of the space and the remaining
40% is leased to various tenants. The Company has adequate space for its
reasonable needs over the near future.
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
On April 18, 2003, Jerome H. Grossman, a shareholder and former Director of the
Company, filed a complaint in the Suffolk County, Massachusetts Superior Court
against the Company and five of its six Directors: A. Neil Pappalardo, Edward B.
Roberts, Morton E. Ruderman, Roland L. Driscoll and Lawrence A. Polimeno. The
complaint alleges: (1) the Directors have violated a duty of good faith and
loyalty to Grossman by terminating him as a consultant to the Company in 2001,
by failing to nominate him for re-election as a Director in 2002, and by
enforcing the Company's right of first refusal against him; (2) the Directors
have "rigged" the market for the Company's common stock in favor of buyers and
against sellers by establishing an artificially low price for the stock; (3) the
Directors have established an artificially low price for the stock so Pappalardo
can purchase shares from the Company at a price less than the "fair value" of
those shares; and (4) Pappalardo, as the controlling shareholder of the Company,
has violated a fiduciary duty to shareholders by dominating the Board of
Directors, artificially depressing the price of stock, and personally benefiting
from the depressed price by purchasing tens of thousands of shares of stock from
the Company each year. On July 11, 2003, the Company filed a motion to dismiss
the complaint. On September 12, 2003, the motion to dismiss the complaint was
denied. The case is now in discovery.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations:
Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003:
Total revenue increased 5.7% from $256.2 million in 2002 to $270.8 million in
2003 as a result of increased products and services provided to both existing
and new customers.
Operating expenses increased 6.1% from $161.3 million in 2002 to $171.1 million
in 2003 due primarily to a greater increase in product development staff
compared to the increase in the rest of the staff. The resultant operating
income increased 5.0% from $94.9 million in 2002 to $99.7 million in 2003.
Other income, net of other expense, increased from $7.6 million in 2002 to
$11.3 million in 2003 due primarily to a smaller $1.5 million write-down of
certain marketable security costs compared to the prior year. This difference
was partially offset by $0.5 million in legal expenses incurred in relation to
the lawsuit noted in Item 3 of this report.
The Company's effective tax rate increased from 37.7% in 2002 to 39.3% in 2003
primarily as a result of increased tax reserves for unrealized gains on
marketable securities.
Page 8
Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002:
Total revenue increased 14.5% from $223.8 million in 2001 to $256.2 million in
2002 as a result of increased products and services provided to both existing
and new customers.
Operating expenses increased 13.4% from $142.3 million in 2001 to $161.3 million
in 2002 due primarily to an increase in staff size and an increase in
associated costs. The resultant operating income increased 16.4% from $81.6
million in 2001 to $94.9 million in 2002.
Other income, net of other expense, decreased from $11.2 million in 2001 to
$7.6 million in 2002 due primarily to a $5.8 million write-down of certain
marketable security costs. This difference was partially offset by a $2.3
million increase in rental and dividend income earnings.
The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 38.7% in 2001 to 37.7% in 2002
primarily as a result of higher tax credit benefits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At December 31, 2003, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities totaled $222.9 million. The marketable securities consisted of
preferred or common equities and government notes which can easily be converted
to cash. Cash flows from operations were $83.2 million in fiscal 2003, an
increase of $1.2 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily
attributable to the growth in revenue and other changes in working capital. The
primary use in fiscal 2003 of cash generated by operating activities was the
payment of $53.2 million in dividends, with the majority of the remaining $30.0
million invested in marketable securities.
MEDITECH has no long-term debt. Net assets at December 31, 2003 was $351.7
million. Additions to property, plant and equipment will continue, including new
facilities and computer systems for product development, sales and marketing,
implementation, service and administrative staff. Management believes existing
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities together with funds generated
from operations will be sufficient to meet operating and capital expense
requirements.
Risk Factors Which May Affect Future Results of Operations:
The health care industry is highly regulated and is subject to changing economic
and political influences. Federal and state legislatures could modify the health
care system in respect to reimbursement and financing. Hospitals may respond to
these pressures by delaying the purchase of new information systems. Previous
volatility in the market place due to Y2K concerns and September 11th could
reappear and cause delays. The Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act
of 1996 will directly impact the industry by specifying standards to protect the
security and confidentiality of patient information. It may be possible for
patients to bring claims against software providers regarding injuries due to
errors. Hospitals consolidating into an integrated health care delivery system
may be able to negotiate price reductions. Finally, the Company is dependent on
a cohesive group of long time senior managers and staff with vast experience in
the hospital industry and software technology.
Page 9
Temporary Equity:
During each of the years from 1997 to 2003, the Company offered and sold shares
of its common stock to certain of its employees in a manner which may not have
complied with the registration requirements of certain securities laws. Assuming
such sales did not comply with those requirements, the individuals who purchased
the Company's common stock from 1997 through 2003 in such offerings would have
the right to return the shares to the Company and obtain a refund equal to the
recision amount, as defined below, or if they have sold the stock, to seek from
the Company damages, if any, resulting from their purchases.
The recision amount payable to an individual would be equal to the original
purchase price increased annually by an amount equal to 6% interest and
decreased annually by the amount of dividends received. Because the dividends
received have always exceeded the amount of the interest, the recision amount
is less than the original purchase price. In addition, each year since 1997
the fair value of the common stock as determined by the Company's Board of
Directors in connection with a year-end contribution of stock to the MEDITECH
Profit Sharing Trust has increased over that determined in the prior year.
Accordingly, the Company does not expect any of these individuals to seek
recision or damages with respect to any such purchases. However, if dividend
payments and/or the fair value of the common stock should decrease, individuals
may elect to seek recision in the future.
The right of these individuals to receive a refund of the recision amount is
not completely within the control of the Company. As a result, these shares
are considered and treated as redeemable common stock for financial accounting
purposes until such time as the recision rights lapse or are exercised.
Therefore the recision amount and the related shares have been removed from
Shareholder Equity and classified as Temporary Equity. As a result, the Company
has restated its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999
through 2002. The restatement was made solely to reflect this reclassification
and did not affect the Company's previously reported net income, net income per
share, assets or liabilities.
Critical Accounting Policies:
All of our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the
financial statements included in Item 8 of this report. We believe four of
these constitute our most critical policies requiring estimates and judgments
by management which are significant in terms of materiality. Reference Note
1(a) for revenue recognition, Note 1(e) for allowance for doubtful accounts,
Note 3 for marketable securities and Note 10 for income taxes.

Reports of Independent Public Accountants
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Medical Information Technology, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Medical Information
Technology, Inc. (a Massachusetts corporation) as of December 31, 2002 (as
restated) and 2003, and the related statements of income, shareholder equity
and cash flows for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The
financial statements of Medical Information Technology, Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations and
whose report, dated January 30, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion of those
financial statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Medical Information Technology,
Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
The financial statements of Medical Information Technology, Inc. as of December
31, 2001 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors who have
ceased operations. As described in Note 2, these financial statements have been
restated to reclassify certain shares of common stock and the related recision
amounts from Shareholder Equity to Temporary Equity. Our audit procedures with
respect to the restated amounts with respect to 2001 included (i) agreeing the
restatement adjustments to a schedule prepared by the Company and obtained from
management and (ii) testing the mathematical accuracy of the schedule and
tracing certain amounts from the schedule to the Company's underlying records.
In our opinion, the amounts restated for 2001 are appropriate. However, we were
not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 financial
statements of the Company other than with respect to such restatement and,
accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the
2001 financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
(1) Operations and Accounting Policies
Medical Information Technology, Inc. (the Company) is engaged in the
development, manufacture and licensing of computer software products and related
services used in the medical field. The principal market for the Company's
products consists of health care providers primarily located in the United
States and Canada.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain
accounting policies discussed below. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the provisions of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition. The Company enters into perpetual software license contracts which
provide for a customer deposit upon contract execution, milestone billings and
fixed monthly service fees thereafter. The Company classifies product and
related implementation fees together as software products in the statement
of income and recognizes these fees as revenue upon completion of each contract
milestone, which approximates the percentage-of-completion method prescribed by
SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain
Production-type Contracts. Software services represent post-implementation
support services, which are recognized as the related services are rendered.
The Company follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force's No. 01-14
(EITF 01-14), which requires reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses
to be characterized as revenue with offsetting operating expenses in the income
statement. Comparative financial statements for prior periods are reclassified
for all periods presented.
(b) Software Development Costs
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed, the Company is required to capitalize software development costs
incurred after technological feasibility of the software development projects
is established and the realizability of such capitalized costs through future
operations is expected if such costs become material. To date, development
costs incurred by the Company after technological feasibility has been
established have been immaterial and as such have been charged to operations as
incurred.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company carries all property, plant and equipment on a cost basis and
provides for depreciation in amounts estimated to allocate the costs thereof
under the following depreciation methods and estimated useful lives:
Description Method Useful Life
---------------------- ------ -------------
Computer equipment MACRS 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures MACRS 7 years
Furniture and fixtures SL 10 years
Buildings SL 31.5-40 years
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
(e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-
term nature of these financial instruments. The Company's marketable
securities are carried at fair value (see Note 3). The Company's long-term
investments are carried at cost, less a valuation reserve, which approximates
fair value based on management's assessment.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk are principally cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and
accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in
highly rated institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to
accounts receivable is limited to certain customers to whom the Company makes
substantial sales. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses the
financial strength of its customers and, as a result, believes that its
accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company maintains an
allowance for potential credit losses but historically has not experienced any
significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of
customers. As of December 31, 2002 and 2003 there were no individual customers
who accounted for greater than 10% of the outstanding accounts receivable.
(f) Investments
The Company accounts for its equity investments in Patient Care Technologies
Inc., LSS Data Systems Inc. and MEDITECH South Africa in accordance with the
cost method. All three companies license the Company's software technology and
relicense it to their respective customers. Each serves a market niche which is
part of the overall medical market but is outside of the hospital market which
the Company serves. The Company believes the fair value of these investments
approximates its carrying value of $8,732,604 at December 31, 2003.
(g) Net Income per Common Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, the Company reports both
basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). The Company has no common stock
equivalents, thus both basic EPS and diluted EPS are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
year.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
(h) Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the
financial statements. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all
other nonowner changes in equity including items such as unrealized holding
gains/losses on securities classified as available-for-sale and foreign currency
translation adjustments. The Company's only comprehensive income for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 is unrealized gains or losses on
marketable securities and is as follows:
2001 2002 2003
----------- ----------- -----------
Net income $56,841,194 $63,870,939 $67,423,596
Unrealized gains (losses) 774,637 (1,488,064) 11,550,631
----------- ----------- -----------
Comprehensive income $57,615,831 $62,382,875 $78,974,227
========== =========== ===========
(i) Segment, Geographic and Enterprise-Wide Reporting
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, requires certain financial and supplementary information to be
disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each reportable operating segment
of an enterprise, as defined. Based on the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 131,
the Company currently operates in one operating segment, medical software and
services.
SFAS No. 131 also requires that certain enterprise-wide disclosures be made
related to products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The
Company derives substantially all of its operating revenue from the sale and
support of one group of similar products and services. All of the Company's
assets are located within the United States. During 2001, 2002 and 2003, the
Company derived its operating revenue from the following countries, based on
location of customer (as a percentage of total operating revenue):
2001 2002 2003
---- ---- ----
United States 86% 89% 88%
Canada 12 10 10
Other 2 1 2
---- ---- ----
100% 100% 100%
==== ==== ====
During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, one customer accounted
for approximately 10%, 10% and 9% of operating revenue, respectively.

(2) RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company's Financial Statements as of December 31, 2001 and for the year then
ended were previously audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. The
Company decided during 2004 that the offering and sale of shares of its common
stock to certain employees from 1997 through 2003 may not have complied with the
registration requirements of certain securities laws. Assuming such sales did
not comply with those requirements, the individuals who purchased the Company's
common stock in such offerings would have the right to return the shares to
the Company and obtain a refund from the Company equal to the recision amount
or, if they have sold the stock, to seek from the Company damages, if any,
resulting from their purchases of the stock.
These shares are considered and treated as redeemable common stock for financial
accounting purposes until such time as the recision rights lapse or are
exercised. Therefore the recision amount and the related shares should have
been removed from Shareholder Equity and classified as Temporary Equity during
each of the periods. As a result, the Company has restated its financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. The restatement was
made solely to reflect this reclassification and did not affect the Company's
previously reported net income, net income per share, assets or liabilities.
A summary of the impact of such restatement on the financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 is as follows:
2001 2001
previously as
reported restated
------------ ------------

(3) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No.
115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS No.
115 requires companies to classify their investments as either trading,
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The Company's marketable securities
consist of common and preferred equities which have been classified as
available-for-sale. These are recorded in the financial statements at fair
market value and any unrealized gains (losses) are reported as a component of
Shareholder Equity. In addition the Company holds U.S. government agency issues
which have been classified as held-to-maturity. These are recorded in the
financial statements at their cost which is also their fair value. The fair
market value of marketable securities was determined based on quoted market
prices. At December 31, 2002 and 2003, the cost basis, unrealized gains,
unrealized losses and fair market value of the Company's holdings are as
follows:
2002 2003
------------ ------------
Cost of equities $153,252,427 $148,854,935
Unrealized Gains 6,200,767 20,762,666
Unrealized Losses (5,114,387) (425,235)
Cost of agency issues - 35,000,000
------------ ------------
Fair Market Value $154,338,807 $204,192,366
============ ============
The Company sold certain available-for-sale securities resulting in a realized
loss of $699 during the year ended December 31, 2002 and a realized gain of
$233,038 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
SFAS No. 115 requires that for each individual security classified as
available-for-sale, a company shall determine whether a decline in fair value
below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in fair
value is judged as such, the cost basis of the individual security shall be
written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down
shall be included in earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2003, the Company determined that the decline in value for certain securities
was other than temporary. Accordingly, the Company recorded unrealized losses
related to these securities in the accompanying statements of income of
$5,812,355 and $1,462,074 respectively.

(6) COMMON STOCK
Dividend Policy
The Company's Board of Directors has full discretion regarding the timing and
amounts of dividends paid on common stock. During the years ended December 31,
2001, 2002, and 2003, the annual dividend rate per share was $1.24, $1.36 and
$1.56, respectively, paid quarterly on shares then outstanding.
(7) REDEEMABLE SECURITIES
The Company has decided that its offering and sale of its common stock from
1997 through 2003 to certain of its employees may not have complied with the
registration requirements of certain securities laws. Assuming such sales did
not comply with those requirements, the individuals who purchased the Company's
common stock in such offerings would have the right to return the shares to the
Company and obtain a refund from the Company equal to the recision amount or if
they have sold the stock, to seek from the Company damages, if any, resulting
from their purchases of the stock. The recision amount payable to an individual
would be equal to the original purchase price increased annually by an amount
equal to 6% interest and decreased annually by the amount of dividends received.
The rights of these individuals to receive a refund of the recision amount is
not completely within the control of the Company. As a result, these shares
are considered and treated as redeemable common stock for financial accounting
purposes until such time as the recision rights lapse or are exercised.
Therefore the recision amount and the related shares have been removed from
Shareholder Equity and classified as Temporary Equity at each of the periods
ended on December 31 as follows:
2001 2002 2003
----------- ----------- -----------
Recision amount $17,962,049 $21,434,540 $26,079,769
Related shares 1,303,826 1,525,709 1,789,593

The Company has no obligation for post-employment or post-retirement benefits.
The Company maintains a qualified profit sharing plan that provides deferred
compensation to substantially all of its employees. Contributions to the plan
are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may be in the form of
Company stock or cash. A summary of contributions made during the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 is as follows:

The Board of Directors oversees the Company's business affairs and monitors the

Directors meet regularly with the CEO, the COO, the CFO, other officers and
our independent auditors; read reports and other materials; and participate in

The Audit Committee consists of Roland L. Driscoll and L. P. Dan Valente. Both
members are former CPA's and Mr. Driscoll is "independent" as defined by the
rules which govern the NYSE and NASDAQ. The Board of Directors of MEDITECH has
determined that Mr. Driscoll and Mr. Valente are both audit committee financial
experts within the meaning of applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. This committee meets at least six times a year to review
accounting practices and advise the Company's CFO. In addition, the committee
meets and consults with the Company's outside auditors with respect to the
Company's business operations, industry, financial performance, business and
financial risks, processes and controls, key policies, legal and regulatory
requirements, code of ethical conduct and new or unusual transactions. The
Committee does not have a written charter. The Committee submits its annual
report to the Board of Directors each April.
The Executive Compensation Committee consists of Morton E. Ruderman and Edward
B. Roberts. This committee meets once a year to recommend the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer's annual salary, the criteria and amount for his bonus.
The full Board of Directors annually approves the salary and bonus amount for
each of the officers.
The Charitable Contribution Committee consists of Morton E. Ruderman, A. Neil
Pappalardo and Howard Messing. This committee meets at least six times a year
to review the criteria for the year's charitable contribution program, meet and
