NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 of America 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, 2007 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, principally:

 

   

Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97—2, Software Revenue Recognition, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”).

 

   

AICPA SOP No. 98—9, Modification of SOP 97—2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.

 

   

Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended by SAB No. 104.

 

   

The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00—3, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97—2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entities’ Hardware.

 

   

EITF Issue 03—5, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97—2 to Non—Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More—Than—Incidental Software.

The Company’s revenue is generated from three sources:

 

   

the sale of information systems, which includes software, conversion and installation services, hardware, peripherals, forms and supplies.

 

   

the provision of system support services, which includes software application support, hardware maintenance, continuing education, application service provider (“ASP”) products, and internet service provider (“ISP”) products.

 

   

the provision of business management services, which includes electronic billing, statement processing, payroll processing and accounts receivable management.

The Company enters into contractual obligations to sell hardware, perpetual software licenses, installation and training services, and maintenance services. Revenue from hardware sales is recognized upon shipment, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Revenue from the perpetual software licenses and installation and training services are recognized using the residual method. The residual method allocates an amount of the arrangement to the elements for which fair value can be determined and any remaining arrangement consideration (the “residual revenue”) is then allocated to the delivered elements. The fair value of maintenance services is determined based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value and is deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the maintenance term. VSOE of fair value of maintenance services is determined by reference to the price the Company’s customers are required to pay for the services when sold separately via renewals. The residual revenue is allocated to the perpetual license and installation and training services and is recognized over the term that the installation and training services are performed for the entire arrangement. The method of recognizing revenue for the perpetual license for the associated modules included in the arrangement and related installation and training services over the term the services are performed is on a module by module basis as the respective installation and training for each specific module is completed as this is representative of the pattern of provision of these services. The installation and training services are normally completed in three to four weeks.

Revenue derived from maintenance contracts primarily includes revenue from software application support, hardware maintenance, continuing education and related services. Maintenance contracts are typically sold for a separate fee with initial contract periods ranging from one to seven years, with renewal for additional periods thereafter. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement.

Table of Contents

The Company accounts for ASP contracts in accordance with the EITF 00—3, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97—2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware. EITF 00—3 states that the software element of ASP services is covered by SOP 97—2 only “if the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty and it is feasible for the customer to either run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party related to the vendor to host the software.” Each ASP contract includes a system purchase and buyout clause, and this clause specifies the total amount of the system buyout.

In addition, a clause is included which states that should the system be bought out by the customer, the customer would be required to enter into a general support agreement (for post—contract support services) for the remainder of the original ASP term. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that ASP customers do not have the right to take possession of the system without significant penalty (i.e. the purchase price of the system), and thus ASP revenue of the Company does not fall within the scope of SOP 97—2. In accordance with SAB No. 104, revenue is recognized when the services are performed.

Revenue for ISP and outsourcing services are recognized in the period in which the services are performed.

4. INVESTMENTS

The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Accordingly, investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s management determines the appropriate classifications of investments in fixed maturity securities at the time of acquisition and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet date. The Company’s investments in fixed maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

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 Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive shares are derived from outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants that have an exercise price less than the weighted average market price of our common stock. Any options or restricted stock grants with an exercise price greater than the weighted average market price of our common stock are considered antidilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The difference between basic and diluted EPS is attributable to stock options. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, these dilutive shares were 21,724 and 54,449 respectively. The number of unvested restricted stock grants considered antidilutive and thus excluded from the year to date dilutive earnings per share computation at March 31, 2008 were 76,086.

7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company previously applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations and provided pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application method as provided by SFAS No. 123R, and, accordingly, prior periods are not restated for the effects of SFAS No. 123R. The Company recorded compensation costs as the requisite service rendered for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption and any awards issued, modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date of SFAS No. 123R.

2002 Stock Option Plan

Under the 2002 Stock Option Plan, the Company has authorized the issuance of equity-based awards for up to 865,333 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. In addition, options become vested upon termination of employment resulting from death, disability or retirement. 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. No options were granted during 2007 or the first quarter of 2008.

A summary of stock option activity under the plan during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

9. FAIR VALUE

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued a final Staff Position to allow a one-year deferral of adoption of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company has elected this one-year deferral and thus will not apply the provisions of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of applying SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis. The FASB also amended SFAS 157 to exclude FASB Statement No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. SFAS 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale investments are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We generally apply fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with (1) valuing potential impairment loss related to financing receivables accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 13, and (2) valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 144.

The following table summarizes the valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2008:

 

     Carrying

   Quoted Prices in

   $ 11,550,467    $ 11,550,467    $ —      $ —  

There was no cumulative effect of adoption related to SFAS 157, and the adoption did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), on January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). Under this pronouncement, a business entity must report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. We did not elect the fair value option for any items on our Balance Sheet.

 

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We adopted the provisions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF No. 07-3”), on January 1, 2008. EITF No. 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The adoption of EITF No. 07-3 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We adopted the provisions of the FASB EITF Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (“EITF No. 06-11”), on January 1, 2008. EITF No. 06-11 requires that the income tax benefits from dividends on equity-classified employee share-based payment awards be reflected as an increase in paid-in-capital. The effects of the adoption are disclosed in the Condensed Statement of Stockholders Equity and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows in the financial statements.

We caution investors that any such forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors may include:

 

   

overall business and economic conditions affecting the healthcare industry;

 

   

saturation of our target market and hospital consolidations;

 

   

changes in customer purchasing priorities and demand for information technology systems;

 

   

competition with companies that have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have;

 

   

failure to develop new technology and products in response to market demands;

 

   

fluctuations in quarterly financial performance due to, among other factors, timing of customer installations;

 

   

failure of our products to function properly resulting in claims for medical losses;

 

   

government regulation of our products and customers, including changes in healthcare policy affecting Medicare reimbursement rates; and

 

   

interruptions in our power supply and/or telecommunications capabilities.

Additional information concerning these and other factors which could cause differences between forward-looking statements and future actual results is discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 600 hospital customers across 46 states and the District of Columbia. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we generated revenues of $29.5 million from the sale of our products and services.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Revenues. Total revenues increased by 13.8%, or $3.6 million, to $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

System sales revenues increased by 28.1%, or $2.3 million, to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to larger system installations compared to the prior year. We completed software system installations at 6 new hospital clients in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 7 new hospital clients in the first quarter of 2007.

Support and maintenance revenues increased by 4.4%, or $0.5 million, to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was attributable to an increase in recurring revenues as a result of a larger customer base and increased sales of add-on business to existing customers.

Business management services revenues increased by 13.5%, or $0.7 million, to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We experienced an increase in business management services revenues as a result of continued growth in existing customer demand for electronic billing and accounts receivable management services. We were providing full business office management services to 18 customers at March 31, 2008 compared to 17 customers at March 31, 2007.

Costs of Sales. Total costs of sales increased by 6.5%, or $1.0 million, to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of total revenues, costs of sales decreased to 55.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 58.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The gross margin on sales increased to 44.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 41.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

Cost of system sales increased by 10.1%, or $0.7 million, to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cost of equipment increased $0.2 million as a result of an increase in equipment sales which resulted from larger new system sales. The gross margin on system sales increased to 25.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The gross margin on larger system installations is generally higher due to a high percentage of fixed expenses included in cost of sales which results in a higher gross margin percentage.

Cost of support and maintenance decreased by 5.1%, or $0.3 million, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The gross margin on support and maintenance revenues increased to 63.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 59.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the addition of new customers and increased sales of add-on business to our existing customer base combined with a decrease in support personnel.

Our costs associated with business management services increased by 17.3%, or $0.5 million, to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was caused primarily by an increase of $0.5 million in payroll related expenses as a result of an increase in the number of employees needed to support our growing business management services operations and electronic billing operations.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 8.9%, or $0.2 million, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is attributable to increases in payroll related expenses of $0.2 million as a result of additional sales and marketing personnel added during 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 11.9%, or $0.6 million, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was attributable to a $0.6 million charge to bad debt expense during the quarter in anticipation of potential collection problems with certain customers in the future due to deteriorating economic conditions. Decreases in payroll and related expenses of $0.1 million were offset by a similar increase in customer user group meeting expenses during the quarter.

As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses decreased to 26.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 26.9% for three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 37.0%, or $0.9 million, to $3.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $2.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Net income represents 11.9% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 9.9% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $11.8 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $7.8 million at March 31, 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4.3 million, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net income and resulting income taxes payable, offset by a decrease in other liabilities and deferred revenue and an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We used cash for the purchase of $0.3 million of property and equipment and investments of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We declared and paid dividends of $3.9 million during the first three months of 2008. We received proceeds from the exercise of stock options including the related tax benefit of $0.1 million.

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 at least 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.

Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to the potential change in the value of our investment portfolio as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. The primary purpose of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk of loss. As of March 31, 2008, our investment portfolio consisted of a variety of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, money market securities and high quality government, municipal and corporate obligations. It is our intent to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We do not hold financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. The securities in our investment portfolio are classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair market value with their related unrealized gain or loss reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectation due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.

We believe that the market risk arising from our holdings of these financial instruments is minimal. Due to the conservative allocation of our investment portfolio, we do not believe that an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Additionally, since we believe we have the ability to liquidate this portfolio, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risks.

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.
