Part I

Item 1 - Business

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Medical Information Technology, Inc. (MEDITECH) was founded in 1969 to develop, manufacture, license and support computer software products for the hospital market. For 2011 on a consolidated basis combined product and service revenue was $545.2M, operating income was $183.0M and net income was $124.0M. Product bookings were $309.8M and the resultant year-end product backlog was $338.1M. By year-end MEDITECH had 3,845 staff members, and over 2,400 active hospital sites throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

HOSPITAL SOFTWARE

At the beginning MEDITECH developed a software product to automate one of the main departments in a hospital, the clinical laboratory which performs various diagnostic tests on blood or 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. MEDITECH now offers home health care software products to hospitals. Recently MEDITECH began offering physician office management software products as well.

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 has been 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 3 of 29

LICENSED SOFTWARE

MEDITECH requires a hospital 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 ownership and restricting transfer, the license mandates the customer hold MEDITECH harmless from any liability arising from incorrect operation of the software.

MEDITECH bases its product fee on a customer's net patient revenue across all of its sites, and sets its implementation fee on the total number of sites. As a result larger hospitals pay more than smaller hospitals. The monthly service fees are 1% of the product fees. A typical 150 bed acute care hospital which licenses most of our software might incur a $3,000,000 product fee, a $750,000 implementation fee and a $30,000 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. MEDITECH staff work in nine company owned facilities - six in the greater Boston area, one in Atlanta and two in the Minneapolis 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. As a result, there is no need for remote offices. 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 software technology. Approximately every twelve years, MEDITECH introduces the next generation of products based on the new software 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 4 of 29

IMPLEMENTATION

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 avoid interruptions from normal hospital activities, MEDITECH requires the hospital personnel to come to its offices in 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, provides interfaces to non-MEDITECH systems and assists the hospital in converting data from legacy systems. In addition, MEDITECH delivers, installs and tests the licensed software on the customer's hardware. MEDITECH utilizes remote access communication technology to minimize 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 utilizes a MEDITECH clinical information system in over 250 hospitals and has been MEDITECH's largest customer for many years. HCA represented 7% of MEDITECH revenues in 2011.

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. MEDITECH's competitors who make similar claims include GE, Siemens, McKesson, Cerner, Eclipsys, CPSI and Epic. MEDITECH does not offer the breadth of products and services which the competition offers to hospitals nor does MEDITECH offer 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 in this market.

ACCESS TO SEC FILINGS

MEDITECH's website address is "www.meditech.com" 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 are filed with the SEC. The links so provided allow access to copies of the reports stored on MEDITECH's website, but a link is also provided to allow access to all of MEDITECH's filings stored on the SEC's website as well.

One may use "http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=1011452&action=getcompany" to access all of MEDITECH's filings stored on the SEC's website instead.

In addition MEDITECH will provide paper copies of these filings free of charge to its shareholders upon request.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

There are numerous 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 such as that due to Y2K concerns and September 11th could reappear and cause delays. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 directly impacts 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, MEDITECH is dependent on a cohesive group of long time senior managers and staff with vast experience in the hospital industry and software technology.

Item 1B - Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2 - Properties

As of December 31, 2011 MEDITECH owned nine facilities containing almost 1.4 million square feet of office space, all being well maintained Class A properties, six in the greater Boston area, one in Atlanta and two in the Minneapolis area. MEDITECH occupies 75% of the space and the remaining 25% is leased to various tenants. MEDITECH has adequate space for its reasonable needs over the near future.

PART II

Item 5 - Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters

No public trading market exists for MEDITECH's common stock, and accordingly no high and low bid information or quotations are available.

The sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any of MEDITECH's common stock is subject to right of first refusal restrictions set forth in MEDITECH's charter. There are no shareholder agreements with MEDITECH covering the voting or repurchase of MEDITECH stock.

During 2011 MEDITECH did not repurchase any of its shares of common stock. However, during 2011 the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust purchased 6,840 shares at $40.00 per share during January through April, 3,830 shares at $41.00 per share during May through August and 8,565 shares at $42.00 per share during September through December from existing shareholders in individual private transactions for an aggregate consideration of $790,360.

During February 2011 pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, MEDITECH sold 235,184 shares of its common stock at $40 per share to certain staff members for an aggregate consideration of $9,407,360.

Page 6 of 29

At December 31, 2011, there were 1,971 shareholders of record of MEDITECH's common stock and 36,541,348 shares outstanding.

MEDITECH has paid quarterly cash dividends continuously since 1980. Dividends paid per share during the last five years are set forth within the table in Item 6.

Item 6 - Selected Financial Data

MEDITECH's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis in this 10-K. The results include the effect of the 2nd quarter 2007 acquisition of PtCT and the 1st quarter 2011 acquisition of LSS. Selected financial data for the past 5 years ended December 31 are as follows:

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Results and Financial Condition

Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011:

Total revenue from both existing and new customers increased $86.1 million or 18.8% from $459.1 million in 2010 to $545.2 million in 2011. It was composed of $61.5 million in additional product revenue and $24.6 million in additional service revenue.

Operating expenses increased $57.9 million or 19.0% from $304.3 million in 2010 to $362.2 million in 2011 due primarily to additional staff and bookings related costs. The resultant operating income increased $28.2 million or 18.2% from $154.8 million in 2010 to $183.0 million in 2011.

Other income decreased $5.8 million due primarily to investment gains in the prior period. Other expense increased slightly. The resultant pretax income increased $22.3 million or 13.2% from $169.6 million in 2010 to $191.9 million in 2011.

MEDITECH's effective tax rate decreased from 35.8% in 2010 to 35.4% in 2011 due primarily to changes in tax related reserves. The resultant net income increased $15.2 million or 13.9% from $108.8 million in 2010 to $124.0 million in 2011.

Page 7 of 29

Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010:

Total revenue from both existing and new customers increased $66.1 million or 16.8% from $393.0 million in 2009 to $459.1 million in 2010. It was composed of $50.9 million in additional product revenue and $15.2 million in additional service revenue.

Operating expenses increased $31.2 million or 11.4% from $273.1 million in 2009 to $304.3 million in 2010 due primarily to additional staff and bookings related costs. The resultant operating income increased $34.9 million or 29.1% from $119.9 million in 2009 to $154.8 million in 2010.

Other income increased $7.6 million due primarily to investment gains. Other expense decreased slightly. The resultant pretax income increased $42.7 million or 33.6% from $126.9 million in 2009 to $169.6 million in 2010.

MEDITECH's effective tax rate increased from 35.5% in 2009 to 35.8% in 2010 due primarily to tax related reserves. The resultant net income increased $27.0 million or 33.0% from $81.8 million in 2009 to $108.8 million in 2010.

Financial Condition:

At December 31, 2011 MEDITECH's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $337.2 million. Marketable securities consisted of preferred and common equities. During 2011 cash flow from operations was $140.9 million, cash flow used in investing was $92.5 million and cash flow used in financing was $88.0 million. The payment of $97.5 million in dividends to shareholders was the primary use of cash generated by operating activities during this period.

MEDITECH has no long-term debt. Shareholder equity at December 31, 2011 was $485.9 million. During 2011 management expended $10.6 million for updated facilities as well as continued additions of 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 for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies:

All of our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated 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 2 for marketable securities, Note 3 for doubtful account reserve and Note 8 for income taxes.

Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk associated with equity securities is disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Consolidated Financial Statements of Medical Information Technology, Inc.
As of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Medical Information Technology, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Medical Information Technology, Inc. (a Massachusetts corporation) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 consolidated financial position of Medical Information Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December, 31, 2011, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2011

(1) OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

MEDITECH is engaged in the development, manufacture, licensing and support of computer software products for the hospital market. The principal market for its products consists of health care providers located primarily in the United States and Canada.

The accompanying consolidated 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.

The consolidated financial statements include MEDITECH's wholly owned subsidiary, LSS Data Systems, Inc., in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation of Financial Statements.

(a) Revenue Recognition

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 985-605-25, Software Revenue Recognition, and ASC 605-35-25, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. MEDITECH enters into perpetual software license contracts which provide for a customer deposit upon contract execution, milestone billings during the implementation phase and fixed monthly support fees thereafter.

MEDITECH classifies software fees and related implementation fees together as product revenue in the statement of income and recognizes these fees as revenue upon completion of each contract milestone. MEDITECH classifies post-implementation support fees as service revenue in the statement of income and recognizes these fees as revenue when the related services are rendered.

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 605-45-15, Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses. Such expenses are characterized as product revenue with offsetting operating expenses included in the consolidated income statement.

(b) Software Development Costs

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed. ASC 985-20 establishes standards for capitalizing 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 MEDITECH after technological feasibility has been established have been immaterial and as such have been charged to operations as incurred.

(c) Cash and Equivalents

MEDITECH considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

(d) Common Stock Dividend Policy

MEDITECH's Board of Directors has full discretion regarding the timing and amounts of dividends paid on common stock. The annual dividend paid quarterly on shares then outstanding for the past 3 years ended December 31 was $2.52, $2.40 and $2.68 per share.

Page 14 of 29

(e) Fixed Assets

MEDITECH carries all fixed assets 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:

Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the asset's useful life. During late 2010 MEDITECH signed an agreement to purchase land for $9.5 million subject to approval to construct a 185,000 sq ft building thereon. During 2011 MEDITECH spent $2.3 million in architecture and engineering fees, but by the end of 2011 MEDITECH had been unable to secure such approval. Therefore, MEDITECH cancelled the agreement and the $2.3 million, previously treated as construction-in-progress, has been expensed and charged to G&A.

(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

The carrying value of MEDITECH's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. MEDITECH's marketable securities are carried at fair value (see Note 2).

Financial instruments that potentially subject MEDITECH to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. MEDITECH 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 MEDITECH makes substantial sales. To reduce risk, MEDITECH routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a result, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. MEDITECH maintains a reserve for doubtful accounts but historically has not experienced any significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of customers. As of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 no individual customer accounted for greater than 10% of the outstanding accounts receivable.

(g) Net Income per Common Share

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share, which requires reporting both basic and diluted earnings per share. MEDITECH has no common share equivalents such as preferred stock, warrants or stock options which would dilute earnings per share. Thus, earnings per share computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the past 3 years ended December 31 is as follows:

The average number of shares outstanding during the periods reflects the issuance of common stock sold to staff members pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, the issuance of common stock to the Profit Sharing Plan and the issuance of shares sold to a Director.

Page 15 of 29

(h) Comprehensive Income

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 220-10, Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity including items such as net unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities classified as available for sale, foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. MEDITECH's comprehensive income including net unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities for the past 3 years ended December 31 is as follows:

(i) Segment, Geographic and Enterprise-Wide Reporting

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting. Based on the criteria set forth in ASC 280-10, MEDITECH currently operates in one operating segment, medical software and services. MEDITECH derives substantially all of its operating revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services. All of MEDITECH's assets are located within the United States. MEDITECH's operating revenue percentage based on location of customer for the past 3 years ended December 31 is as follows:

One customer accounted for approximately 6%, 8% and 7% of total revenue for the past 3 years ended December 31.

(j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 15, 2011 MEDITECH adopted the provisions of ASC 350-20-35 Intangibles and Goodwill Impairment Evaluation - Qualitative Testing. An entity may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An evaluation shall assess relevant events and circumstances and should include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in industry/business climate, unanticipated competition, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or overall financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of such events and circumstances, an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment test are unnecessary.

Page 16 of 29

(2) MARKETABLE SECURITIES

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 320-10, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities, which requires marketable securities be classified as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. MEDITECH classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and records them at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, reported as a component of shareholder equity. The fair value was determined based on quoted prices in active markets. ASC 320-10 requires that for each individual security classified as available-for-sale, a company shall determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is temporary in nature. If the decline in fair value is not judged as such, the cost basis of the individual security shall be reduced to fair value and the amount of the write-down shall be reflected in earnings.

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 320-10-35 Subsequent Measurement, and evaluates its marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment using an impairment model consistent with a debt security. The factors considered include the severity and duration of the loss, the intent and ability to hold the securities for an extended period of time until recovery, and whether issuers are current on dividend payments and maintain investment grade ratings. Finally, the effect of fluctuating interest rates, current economic and industry conditions, and the issuers' current financial position are also taken into consideration.

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides for expanded disclosure and guidelines to determine fair market value of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 applies whenever other standards require or permit assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. MEDITECH's marketable securities represent assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and are considered Level 1 assets as defined by ASC 820-10.

At December 31, 2011 MEDITECH's marketable securities had an adjusted cost basis of $231,177,996 and a fair value of $277,354,769. The difference included unrealized gains of $47,060,295 and unrealized losses of $883,522 which have been accounted for within comprehensive income. Those in loss status are marketable securities issued by large financial institutions and each loss is less than 3% of original cost. MEDITECH has evaluated the unrealized losses as of December 31, 2011 and has concluded that the unrealized losses are temporary in nature.

The cost basis net of write-downs, unrealized gains, unrealized losses and fair market value of MEDITECH's holdings for the past 3 years ended December 31 are as follows:

Page 17 of 29

(3) RESERVE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The components of the reserve for doubtful accounts for the past 3 years ended December 31 are as follows:

(4) OTHER ASSETS

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 323-10, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and as such, accounts for the equity investment in Meditech South Africa in accordance with the cost method. Meditech South Africa licenses MEDITECH's software technology and re-licenses it to its respective customers. Meditech South Africa serves a market niche which is part of the overall medical market but is outside of the hospital market which MEDITECH serves. Meditech holds a fully collateralized mortgage note for a loan to Meditech South Africa to purchase land and a building used as its corporate headquarters. MEDITECH believes the fair value of this investment and loan balance approximates its December 31, 2011 carrying value.

During the 2nd quarter 2007 MEDITECH acquired Patient Care Technologies, Inc. (PtCT), a company engaged in the development, manufacture, licensing and support of computer software products for the home health care market. MEDITECH accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. The values of acquired assets, assumed liabilities and intangibles are based upon management's estimates of fair value as of the date of acquisition. A deferred tax asset was recognized to reflect the tax benefit expected to be realized from the carryforward of net operating losses.

Deferred taxes relate to the earlier recognition of certain revenue and the later recognition of certain expenses for tax purposes. Cumulative unrealized investment write-downs which have been reflected in earnings are also a non-deductible expense for tax purposes. Because such capital losses can only be offset by future capital gains, a valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax to the net amount expected to be realized. In 2010 this valuation allowance has been increased to 100% of investment write-downs based on current recoverability expectations. The components of deferred taxes for the past 3 years ended December 31 are as follows:

Tax reserves relate to the uncertainty of research tax credit, domestic production activities deduction and state nexus. Key judgments are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current assessments. The years 2008 through 2010 are subject to examination by the IRS, and various years are subject to examination by state tax authorities.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

The Board of Directors oversees MEDITECH's business affairs and monitors the performance of management, but is not involved in the day-to-day operations. The Directors meet regularly with the CEO, the CFO, other officers and our independent registered public accounting firm; read reports and other materials; and participate in Board and committee meetings. The Board currently consists of 6 members. During 2011 the Board held 4 regularly scheduled quarterly meetings and 5 members attended all 4 meetings and 1 member attended only 3 meetings. Messrs. Driscoll, Roberts and Valente are "independent" as defined by the rules of the NYSE and NASDAQ. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Charitable Contribution Committee. During 2011 each committee member attended all committee meetings. The following is a description of the committees.

Page 24 of 29

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Driscoll and Valente. Both members are former CPAs and audit committee financial experts within the meaning of applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The committee met 5 times in 2011 to review accounting practices and advise MEDITECH's CFO. In addition, the committee met with MEDITECH's Independent Registered Public Accounting firm and reviewed MEDITECH'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 Board of Directors no longer has an Executive Compensation Committee. Instead, the full Board annually establishes the criteria for and the total amount of the Officer Bonus and thereafter sets the salary and bonus amount for each of the officers.

The Charitable Contribution Committee consists of Messrs. Pappalardo, Polimeno and Messing. This committee meets at least 6 times a year to review the criteria for the year's charitable contribution program, meets and evaluates each organization under consideration and determines the amount to be contributed to each organization for the year. During December 2011 the committee contributed $820,000 to 43 cultural, educational and social service organizations within the greater Boston area.

The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. Instead, the full Board, because of its small size, carries out the duties of a nominating committee. The Board considers a broad range of characteristics related to qualifications, background and diversity of nominees based on MEDITECH's current business needs. The Board has not adopted written guidelines regarding nominees for Director.

The Board of Directors is actively involved in oversight of risks which could affect MEDITECH. The Board receives regular quarterly reports from Officers which cover topics such as financial, technological, regulatory and reputational risk. Once a year the full Board meets with all the Officers to review their performance and responsibilities.

During 2005 a Code of Ethical Conduct was created by management and adopted by the Board of Directors in an effort to outline the principles established at MEDITECH which help guide the actions of its staff, Officers and Directors. This Code sets forth ethical standards of conduct for all to follow and provides a framework for decision-making. This Code is intended to promote proper conduct at all levels of business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as well as to deter wrongdoing. These guiding principles are designed to propel MEDITECH forward towards future success in a continued tradition of "ingenuity delivered with integrity" in all of our business relationships. The Code of Ethical Conduct is available on MEDITECH's web site and any waiver for senior management will be disclosed there as well.

Item 11 - Executive Compensation

There are no employment contracts providing for continued compensation in effect for any Officer of MEDITECH. MEDITECH has no Stock Award programs, no Stock Option programs and no Non-equity Incentive plans. The compensation received by MEDITECH's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the three most highly compensated other Officers for the past 3 years ended December 31 is summarized in the following table. The deferred columns represent, respectively, the annual increase in the individual's balance in the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Plan and the individual's share of MEDITECH's annual contribution to this Plan.

Annual Cash Bonus: MEDITECH pays a Staff Bonus to all staff members, including officers, in recognition of services rendered by them during each calendar year. The individual portion of the Staff Bonus payable to each recipient is determined by prorating the sum of the recipient's last five years of cash compensation (capped at $600,000). MEDITECH also pays an Officer Bonus solely to the officers, in recognition of services rendered by them during the calendar year. The individual portion of the Officer Bonus payable to each recipient is determined by the Board. Cash bonuses are paid to the designated recipient during the following January. Because of MEDITECH's reduced revenue and operating profit for 2009, Mr. Pappalardo requested the Board issue him only his share of the Staff Bonus and nothing from the Officer Bonus.

Page 26 of 29

Profit Sharing Plan: MEDITECH maintains a qualified defined contribution plan for all of MEDITECH's staff known as the Medical Information Technology, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan. All of the staff who have completed one year of service participate in the Plan. The Board of Directors sets the annual contribution, which is allocated in proportion to total compensation of all eligible members for the Plan year (capped at $100,000). No allocation is allowable under this Plan to owners of 10% or more of MEDITECH's common stock. Contributions by members are not permitted. Benefits under the Plan are considered deferred compensation and become fully vested after five years of continuous service with MEDITECH. Members who have at least 20 years of service or who have incurred financial hardship may make in service withdrawals. Lump sum cash payment is made upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment.

Compensation of Directors: During 2011 the members of the Board of Directors who were not Officers of MEDITECH received a fee of $8,000 for each quarterly meeting fully attended, with such fee being deemed to also cover any special meetings, conference or committee time, and incidental expenses expended by such directors on behalf of MEDITECH.

Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2011 with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person known by MEDITECH to own more than 5% of MEDITECH's outstanding common stock, each Director of MEDITECH, each Executive Officer named in the Compensation Table and by all Directors and Officers of MEDITECH as a group. The number of shares beneficially owned is determined according to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under such rules, a person's beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which such person has sole or shared voting power or investment power.

*The number of shares indicated for Mr. Pappalardo includes the shares owned by the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust. Mr. Pappalardo is the sole Trustee of the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust and therefore has the power to vote its shares in addition to his own 9,433,013 shares. Likewise the number of shares indicated for the 17 Directors and Officers as a Group includes the shares owned by the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust.
