NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. All such adjustments are considered of a normal recurring nature. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. The difference between basic and diluted EPS is solely attributable to stock options. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, these dilutive shares were 43,539 and 40,954, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, these dilutive shares were 36,837 and 57,708, respectively.

The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised of the following:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Significant components of the Company’s income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30 are as follows:

The difference between income taxes at the U. S. federal statutory income tax rate of 34% and those reported in the condensed statements of income for the nine months ended September 30 are as follows:

During 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan, and in accordance with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was reflected in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 or 2003. Had the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plan based on the fair value of awards at grant date consistent with the methodology of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s reported net income and income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 would have been impacted as indicated below. There were no employee stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 on a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported pro forma net income for future years as options vest over several years and it is anticipated that additional grants will be made in future years.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Under the 2002 Stock Option Plan, the Company has authorized the issuance of equity-based awards for up to 1,165,333 shares of common stock to provide additional incentive to employees and officers. Pursuant to the plan, the Company can grant either incentive or non-qualified stock options. Options to purchase common stock under the 2002 Stock Option Plan have been granted to Company employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

Stock options granted under the 2002 Stock Option Plan to executive officers of the Company become vested as to all of the shares covered by such grant on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Stock options granted under the 2002 Stock Option Plan to employees other than executive officers become vested as to 50% of the shares covered by the option grant on the third anniversary of the grant date and as to 100% of such shares on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, and such options expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date.

Under the methodology of SFAS No. 123, the fair value of the Company’s stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The multiple option approach was used, with assumptions for expected option life of 5 years and 44% expected volatility for the market price of the Company’s stock in 2002. An estimated dividend yield of 3% was used. The risk-free rate of return was determined to be 2.79% in 2002.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because subjectivity of assumptions can materially affect estimate of fair value, the Company believes the Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted to employees under the 2002 Stock Option Plan during 2002 was $5.30. There were no options granted under the plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Overview

We are a healthcare information technology company that designs, develops, markets, installs and supports computerized information technology systems to meet the unique demands of small and midsize hospitals. Our target market includes acute care community hospitals with 300 or fewer beds and small specialty hospitals. We are a single-source vendor providing comprehensive software and hardware products, complemented by data conversion, complete installation and extensive support. Our fully integrated, enterprise-wide system automates the management of clinical and financial data across the primary functional areas of a hospital. In addition, we provide services that enable our customers to outsource certain data-related business processes which we can perform more efficiently. We believe our products and services enhance hospital performance in the critical areas of clinical care, revenue cycle management, cost control and regulatory compliance. From our initial hospital installation in 1981, we have grown to serve more than 500 hospital customers across 45 states and the District of Columbia. In the three months ended September 30, 2004, we generated revenues of $21.1 million from the sale of our products and services.

This increase was attributable to an increase in recurring revenues as a result of a larger customer base and also an increase in the volume of ASP and ISP services.

Outsourcing revenues increased by 46.4% or $0.8 million to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

The cost of hardware, however, increased $0.5 million due to an increase in equipment sales. The gross margin on system sales increased to 22.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was attributable to the decrease in travel related expenses.

An additional expense increase of $0.2 million was related to an increase in provision for bad debt, while depreciation expense decreased $0.2 million.

As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses decreased to 24.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 25.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Net Income.

This decrease was primarily due to fewer new system installations in the first half of the year. The average installation size also decreased.

Support and maintenance revenues increased by 10.0% or $2.5 million to $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2004, we had cash and short-term investments of $12.6 million, compared with $9.9 million at September 30, 2003. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $8.0 million, compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. We used cash to pay dividends that we declared during the period.

We currently do not have a bank line of credit or other credit facility in place. Our future capital requirements will depend upon a number of factors, including the rate of growth of our sales, cash collections from our customers and our future investments in fixed assets. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the next 12 months.

Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to any material “off-balance sheet arrangement” as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We currently do not use derivative financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid financial instruments, primarily cash, money market funds and short term U.S. Government obligations, purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Interest income on our income statement is included in “Other Income.”

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had no borrowings and is, therefore, not subject to interest rate risks related to debt instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. We currently are involved in a litigated dispute relating to the installation of a hospital information system that, if resolved unfavorably, could have a negative impact on our quarterly earnings at some point in the future. However, this dispute should not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We are not currently involved in any other litigation that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
