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 2014 combined product and service revenue was $517.0M, operating income was $108.9M and net income was $123.5M. Product bookings were $175.9M and the resultant year-end product backlog was $165.9M. By year-end MEDITECH had almost 4,000 staff members, and over 2,400 active healthcare sites throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

HEALTHCARE 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. More recently, as healthcare organizations have increased the breadth of their services, MEDITECH has expanded its offering to include software that operates in home healthcare, ambulatory, mental health and long-term care settings.

Although the individual products could be operated in a stand alone fashion, a healthcare organization achieved maximum effectiveness when they were used in an integrated mode, sharing access to the common clinical and financial records. 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. Today we call this an Electronic Health Record which MEDITECH calls its EHR.

COMPUTER HARDWARE

Sophisticated software, such as MEDITECH's, requires extensive computer and communication equipment to function. In spite of this, MEDITECH limits 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, administrative 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 31

LICENSED SOFTWARE

MEDITECH requires a healthcare 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 minimizes liability arising from incorrect operation of the software.

MEDITECH generally 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 installations. As a result larger organizations pay more than smaller organizations. The monthly service fees are typically 1% of the product fees. A typical 150 bed acute care hospital which licenses much of our software might incur a $3,000,000 product fee, a $1,000,000 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 eleven company owned facilities - eight 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 lines, 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 ten 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 31

IMPLEMENTATION

To ensure a successful implementation, the staff must properly train a core group of customer personnel about the operation of the software and how to use it in their daily activity. To avoid interruptions from normal activities, MEDITECH requires the customer 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 environment, provides interfaces to non-MEDITECH systems and assists the customer 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 an organization 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 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 200 hospitals and has been MEDITECH's largest customer for many years. HCA represented 7% of MEDITECH revenues in 2014.

COMPETITION

The market for healthcare 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 Epic, Cerner, McKesson and CPSI. In addition, there are competitors for components of MEDITECH's offerings. MEDITECH does not offer the breadth of products and services which some of the competition offers nor does some of the competition offer what MEDITECh offers. MEDITECH focuses exclusively on the healthcare 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 healthcare industry is highly regulated and is subject to changing economic and political influences. Federal and state legislatures could modify the healthcare system in respect to reimbursement and financing. Healthcare organizations 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. Healthcare organizations consolidating into an integrated healthcare 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

At year-end 2014 MEDITECH owned 11 facilities containing almost 1.6 million square feet of office space, all being well maintained Class A properties, 8 in the greater Boston area, 1 in Atlanta and 2 in the Minneapolis area. MEDITECH occupies 81% of the space and the remainder is leased to various tenants. One of the facilities is currently being partially renovated and will be put to use as a conference center in 2015. MEDITECH has adequate space for its reasonable needs in the near future.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

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 2014 MEDITECH did not repurchase any of its shares of common stock. However, during 2014 the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust purchased 72,463 shares at $45.00 per share from existing shareholders in individual private transactions for an aggregate consideration of $3,260,835. In addition, during 2014 the Trust purchased 455,555 shares at $45.00 per share from the charitable foundations of two MEDITECH founders for an aggregate consideration of $20,499,975.

Page 6 of 31

During February 2014 pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, no shares of its common stock were offered or sold to its staff members. During December 2014 Meditech contributed $9,375,000 in cash and 25,000 shares of stock valued at $1,125,000 to the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust. At December 31, 2014, there were 2,083 shareholders of record of MEDITECH's common stock and 37,165,854 shares outstanding. MEDITECH has paid quarterly cash dividends continuously since 1980 and such annual Dividends paid per share during the last five years are set forth within the table in Item 6.

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

Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014:

Total revenue from both existing and new customers decreased $62.6 million or 10.8% from $579.6 million in 2013 to $517.0 million in 2014. It was composed of a $73.2 million reduction in product revenue due primarily to lower product bookings, offset by a $10.6 million addition in service revenue.

Operating expense decreased $8.0 million or 1.9% from $416.0 million in 2013 to $408.1 million in 2014 due primarily to lower staff related costs. The resultant operating income decreased $54.7 million or 33.4% from $163.6 million in 2013 to $108.9 million in 2014.

Other income increased $31.7 million due primarily to the current period's gains from the sale of previously impaired marketable securities. Other expense decreased by $0.3 million. The resultant pretax income decreased $22.7 million or 12.1% from $187.3 million in 2013 to $164.6 million in 2014.

Page 7 of 31

MEDITECH's effective tax rate decreased from 28.8% in 2013 to 25.0% in 2014 due primarily to the current period's reduced taxes on gains from the sale of previously impaired marketable securities offset by the prior period's inclusion of 2012's research tax credit. The resultant net income decreased $9.8 million or 7.4% from $133.3 million in 2013 to $123.5 million in 2014.

Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013:

Total revenue from both existing and new customers decreased $18.2 million or 3.0% from $597.8 million in 2012 to $579.6 million in 2013. It was composed of a $38.1 million reduction in product revenue offset by a $19.9 million addition in service revenue.

Operating expense increased $9.8 million or 2.4% from $406.2 million in 2012 to $416.0 million in 2013 due primarily to staff, marketing initiatives and building related costs. The resultant operating income decreased $28.0 million or 14.6% from $191.6 million in 2012 to $163.6 million in 2013.

Other income increased $4.2 million due primarily to investment gains exceeding the prior period gains. Other expense increased by $1.0 million. The resultant pretax income decreased $24.8 million or 11.7% from $212.1 million in 2012 to $187.3 million in 2013.

MEDITECH's effective tax rate decreased from 38.5% in 2012 to 28.8% in 2013 due primarily to the reduced investment gain tax and the inclusion of 2012 R&D tax credit. The resultant net income increased $2.8 million or 2.1% from $130.5 million in 2012 to $133.3 million in 2013.

Financial Condition:

At December 31, 2014 MEDITECH's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $384.8 million. Marketable securities consisted of preferred and common equities. During 2014 cash flow from operations was $73.3 million, cash flow from investing was $16.8 million and cash flow used in financing was $111.4 million. The payment of $111.4 million in dividends to shareholders was the primary use of cash generated by operating and investing activities during this period.

MEDITECH has no long-term debt. Shareholder equity at December 31, 2014 was $576.3 million. During 2014 management expended $24.1 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 and Estimates:

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 2 for marketable securities, Note 3 for doubtful account reserve and Notes 4, 8, 12 and 13 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 Financial Statements.

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 audits included 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.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2014

Note 1. Significant 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 healthcare providers located primarily 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

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. Such revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, completion of each contract milestone has occurred, and collection of the fee is probable. Determining whether and when some of these criteria have been satisfied often involves assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized. The primary factors taken into consideration involve tracking and measuring progress to complete software delivery and installation, training on the use the software, interfacing the software with other vendor software, and timing when the software becomes operational at the customer's site. Once a contract milestone is deemed completed the customer is invoiced and revenue is recognized. 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 expense included in the 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.

Page 15 of 31

(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.

(e) 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.

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 December 31, 2014 HCA-The Healthcare Company represented 7% of the outstanding trade receivables.

Note 2. Available For Sale 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.

Page 16 of 31

The unrealized gains and losses have been accounted for within comprehensive income. MEDITECH determined no unrealized losses existed as of December 31, 2014. The following table indicates the cost net of write-downs, unrealized gains, unrealized losses and fair market value of MEDITECH's securities for the three years ended December 31.

 201220132014

Fair market value$329,655,272$374,023,591$363,742,759
 



Note 3. Reserve for Doubtful Accounts

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

 201220132014
 


Reserve at beginning of year$1,500,000$1,575,000$1,575,000
Amounts charged to expense144,4347,71428,342

Reserve at end of year$1,575,000$1,575,000$1,575,000
 



Note 4. Deferred Taxes

Deferred taxes relate to the earlier recognition of certain revenue and the later recognition of certain expense for tax purposes. Current deferred tax assets consist of prepaid tax on accrued expenses. Long term deferred tax assets consist of prepaid tax on deposits and tax reserves. Current deferred tax liabilities consist primarily of tax on unrealized gains. Net deferred taxes changed from an asset to a liability in 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in fair market value of marketable securities. The components of net deferred taxes for the three years ended December 31 are as follows:

 201220132014
 


Current deferred tax asset$9,457,643--
Long term deferred tax asset-$6,897,379$7,293,479

Net deferred tax asset (liability)$9,457,643($11,752,215)($27,231,954)
 



Note 5. 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 estimated useful lives. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the asset's useful life.

Note 6. Equity Method Investments

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, 2014 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 healthcare market. MEDITECH accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. PtCT merged with and into MEDITECH effective December 31, 2009.

During the 1st quarter 2011 MEDITECH acquired LSS Data Systems, Inc. (LSS), a company engaged in the development, manufacture, licensing and support of ambulatory information system software for physician practices. MEDITECH accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. LSS merged with and into MEDITECH effective December 31, 2013.

MEDITECH follows the provisions of ASC 350-20-35 Intangibles and Goodwill Impairment Evaluation - Qualitative Testing. MEDITECH annually assesses qualitative factors of its goodwill and intangible assets for impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The evaluation assesses all relevant economic, industry, regulatory, and legal facts and circumstances as well as overall performance. If, after assessing the totality of such facts and circumstances, MEDITECH determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, then no further goodwill impairment testing is necessary. In accordance with ASC 805-10 and ASC 350-20-35, on December 31, 2014, MEDITECH concluded no impairment was needed on a qualitative testing basis. The components of other assets for the three years ended December 31 are as follows:

 201220132014
 


Investments$1,440,061$1,440,061$1,440,061

Accrued expenses$55,098,832$53,976,811$45,125,716
 



Note 8. Tax Reserves

Tax reserves relate to the uncertainty of domestic production activities deduction and state nexus. Key judgments are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current assessments. The years 2011 through 2014 are subject to examination by the IRS, and various years are subject to examination by state tax authorities. MEDITECH accounts for the annual change in tax reserves as part of its provision for income taxes. The components of tax reserves for the three years ended December 31 are as follows:

 201220132014
 


Potential tax assessment$11,407,396$8,597,502$9,040,063

Tax reserves$17,779,175$18,512,277$21,289,052
 



Note 9. Segment 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 its 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. The following table indicates the percentage of revenue based on customer location plus the percentage of revenue from the largest customer for the three years ended December 31 is as follows:

Page 20 of 31

Note 13. Income Tax Rate

During 2008, MEDITECH recorded an impairment loss of $41 million on marketable securities. A deferred tax asset was not recognized because unrealized gains were not available at the time of impairment. In 2014 the previously impaired marketable securities were sold and MEDITECH realized a tax benefit of $16.4 million upon the sale. The effective income tax rate for the three years ended December 31 is as follows:

Note 14. Earnings Per 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 is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three years ended December 31. In general, the average number of shares reflects the annual issuance of shares sold to staff members in February pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and the annual issuance of shares contributed to the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Trust in December.

Note 15. Comprehensive Income Presentation

Effective January 1, 2012 MEDITECH adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting 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. In MEDITECH's case net income plus the change in net unrealized security gains or losses after tax is shown as comprehensive income in the income statement.

Note 17. Litigation

From time to time, the Company is a party to or may be threatened by litigation in the ordinary course of its business. The Company regularly analyzes current information, including, as applicable, the Company's defenses and insurance coverage and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable and estimable liabilities for the eventual disposition of these matters. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Note 18. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2014, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance on revenue recognition. This update provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and any interim periods within those annual periods, that begin after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective application, with early adoption not permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method it will apply and the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On October 3, 2014, we dismissed Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as our independent registered public accounting firm which dismissal was ratified by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors on October 3, 2014.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, E&Y's reports on the Company's financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 and the subsequent interim period through October 3, 2014, (i) there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to EY's satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their reports on the Company's financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no reportable events, within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the identification of material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Page 23 of 31

On November 20, 2014 the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the engagement of Wolf & Company, P.C. ("Wolf") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 and the subsequent interim period through December 12, 2014, the date of engagement of Wolf, the Company did not consult with Wolf regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

Item 9A - Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of MEDITECH's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on the effectiveness of MEDITECH's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded MEDITECH's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at December 31, 2014 to ensure information requiring disclosure by MEDITECH in reports which it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. MEDITECH's management is responsible for establishing, designing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting that provide reasonable assurance to our Board of Directors and shareholders that the financial statements prepared are fairly presented. We have set assessment criteria in accordance with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control's Integrated Framework (1992 Framework). Based on this assessment, we believe that as of December 31, 2014, MEDITECH's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on said criteria.

We have made changes to our internal control over financial reporting as noted below. During the fourth quarter of 2014, MEDITECH completed all staff education and software system modifications designed to rectify material weaknesses in our revenue recognition and internal control processes. Verification to confirm controls are effective has also been completed at December 31, 2014.

Item 9B - Other Information`

In October 2013, we discovered certain errors in our revenue recognition practices which affected our reported revenues and related expenses. Upon learning of these errors, we worked with the Audit Committee of MEDITECH's Board of Directors, an independent consultant and MEDITECH's independent registered public accounting firm to determine what changes, if any, to MEDITECH's accounting practices were appropriate. Upon conclusion we began the implementation of changes to our revenue recognition practices and our internal controls over financial reporting to remediate material weaknesses discovered. At December 31, 2014 we had completed implementation of our remediation program. During the fourth quarter of 2014 we verified and confirmed controls now in place are effective. The process was lengthy. As a result of this, we were delayed in filing our Form 10-Q for the 3rd quarter of 2013, our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our Form 10-Q for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2014.

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 2014 the Board held 4 regularly scheduled quarterly meetings and all 6 members attended all 4 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 2014 each committee member attended all committee meetings. The following is a description of the committees.

Page 26 of 31

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 9 times in 2014 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 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 2014 the committee contributed $815,000 to 42 cultural, educational and social service organizations within the greater Boston area.

The Board of Directors does not have a Compensation Committee nor a Nominating Committee. Instead, the full Board, because of its small size, carries out the duties of both Committees. The 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 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.

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.

Page 28 of 31

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 2014 the 3 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. The 2 members of the audit committee received an additional fee of $2,000 each per quarter.
