NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Each of the terms “we,” “us,” or “our” as used herein refers collectively to the Company, unless otherwise stated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and for the three months ended June 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information and notes which would be presented were such consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.
References to amounts in the consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except shares and per share data, unless otherwise specified.
Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
Share-Based Compensation. The following table shows total share-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Recent Accounting Standards. Recent accounting pronouncements requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for and reporting on share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update are to be applied differently upon adoption with certain amendments being applied prospectively, retrospectively and under a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this updated authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The new guidance will require entities that lease assets to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases and to disclose key information about the leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this updated authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"), which replaces the concept of subsequently measuring inventory at 'lower of cost or market' with that of 'lower of cost and net realizable value'. The
7
guidance only applies to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM). ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance is effective for us for fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Arrangement ("ASU 2015-05"), which requires a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software or as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, an entity has the option to apply the provisions of ASU 2015-05 either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified, or retrospectively. The adoption of this new standard did not have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"), which incorporates and expands upon certain principles that currently exist in U.S. auditing standards. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance regarding management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual evaluations and sets forth principles for considering the mitigating effect of management's plans. The standard mandates certain disclosures when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-15 is effective for us for fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB, along with the International Accounting Standards Board, issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 provides enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported while also improving comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using International Financial Reporting Standards and GAAP. The core principle of this updated guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires additional disclosure about revenue and provides improved guidance for multiple element arrangements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, based on the July 2015 decision and issuance of ASU 2015-14, Deferral of Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14") by the FASB to delay the effective date by one year. Companies are permitted to adopt this new guidance following either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) –Principal versus Agent Consideration ("ASU 2016-08"). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10”). In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of ASU 2014-09 and 2014-16 ("ASU 2016-11") and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) –Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12"). The new ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 (as amended by ASU 2014-09), but rather help to provide further interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of implementation of the updated authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016:

___________________________________
(1) Cash equivalents consist of money market funds.
(2) Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale money market instruments and fixed-income securities, including certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and notes, and municipal securities.
Our contingent consideration liabilities relates primarily to the acquisitions of Mirth and HealthFusion. We assess the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a recurring basis and any adjustments to fair value subsequent to the measurement period are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Key assumptions include discount rates and probability-adjusted achievement estimates of certain revenue and strategic targets that are not observable in the market. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the contingent consideration liability is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used.
The following table presents activity in our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2016:
Total Liabilities | ||||
Balance as of March 31, 2016 | $ | 23,843 | ||
Fair value adjustments | 2,574 | |||
Balance as of June 30, 2016 | $ | 26,417 |
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
We have certain assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the assets is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. There were no adjustments to fair value of such assets.

3. Business Combinations
HealthFusion Acquisition
On January 4, 2016, we completed our acquisition of HealthFusion Holdings, Inc. ("HealthFusion") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement"), dated October 30, 2015. HealthFusion provides Web-based, cloud computing software for physicians, medical billing service providers, and hospitals. Its flagship product, MediTouch®, is a fully-integrated, cloud-based software suite consisting of clearinghouse, practice management, electronic health records, and patient portals with rich functionality to enable mobility, workflow automation, and advanced reporting and analytics aimed primarily at small-to-mid-size physician practices. The acquisition of HealthFusion is part of our strategy to expand its client base and cloud-based solution capabilities in the ambulatory market. Over time, we plan to expand the HealthFusion platform to satisfy the needs of practices of increasing size and complexity.
The preliminary purchase price totaled $183,049, which includes preliminary working capital and other customary adjustments and the fair value of contingent consideration related to an additional $25,000 of cash in the form of an earnout, subject to HealthFusion achieving certain revenue targets through December 31, 2016. The initial estimated fair value of contingent consideration of $16,700 was estimated using a Monte Carlo-based valuation model that considered, among other assumptions and inputs, our estimate of projected HealthFusion revenues.
The acquisition was initially funded by a draw against the revolving credit agreement (see Note 7), a portion of which was subsequently repaid from existing cash on hand.
We accounted for the HealthFusion acquisition as a purchase business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed represent management’s estimate of fair value and are subject to change if additional information, such as changes to deferred taxes and/or working capital, becomes available. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but not later than one year following the acquisition date.
The preliminary estimated fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed were determined using multiple valuation approaches depending on the type of tangible or intangible asset acquired, including but not limited to the income approach, the excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method approach.
The preliminary amount of goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary purchase price over the preliminary net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill primarily represents, among other factors, the value of synergies expected to be realized and the assemblage of all assets that enable us to create new client relationships, neither of which qualify as separate amortizable intangible assets. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of HealthFusion was determined as the excess of the preliminary purchase price over the net acquisition date fair values of the acquired assets and the liabilities assumed, and is not deductible for tax purposes. HealthFusion operates under the NextGen Division.

4. Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually during our first fiscal quarter, referred to as the annual test date. We will also test for impairment between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at a reporting-unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we elected to bypass the optional qualitative step of the goodwill impairment assessment, as permitted by the authoritative guidance, and proceed directly with the quantitative step, under which we compared the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill to its net carrying amount. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit's net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determined the fair value of our reporting units by considering two valuation methods, consisting of the income approach (based upon estimates of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit) and a market comparable approach (based upon valuation multiples of companies that operate in similar industries with similar operating characteristics). The net cash flows used to determine fair value under the income approach represent our best estimate of projected operating results and assumed terminal growth rates, which are dependent on a number of significant assumptions, including historical experience, expectations of future performance, and expected changes to the macroeconomic variables and industry in which the Company operates, and are subject to changes given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future results. We also considered the Company's stock price and market capitalization as a corroborative step in assessing the reasonableness of the fair values estimated for the reporting units as part of the goodwill impairment assessment. The results of the goodwill impairment assessment established that the fair value for each reporting unit with goodwill significantly exceeded its respective net carrying amount, indicating that no goodwill impairment existed as of the annual test date.
We do not amortize goodwill as it has been determined to have an indefinite useful life.

Goodwill by reporting unit consists of the following:
June 30, 2016 | March 31, 2016 | ||||||
NextGen Division | $ | 149,258 | $ | 149,258 | |||
RCM Services Division | 32,290 | 32,290 | |||||
QSI Dental Division (1) | 7,289 | 7,289 | |||||
Total goodwill | $ | 188,837 | $ | 188,837 |
___________________________________
(1) QSI Dental Division goodwill is presented on a basis consistent with that of our management reporting structures. However, for the purposes of our annual assessment of goodwill for impairment and as otherwise may be required, the QSI Dental Division goodwill is allocated to the reporting units that derive cash flows from the products associated with the acquired goodwill. For all periods presented in this report, the allocation resulted in substantially all of the QSI Dental Division goodwill being ascribed to the NextGen Division.

7. Line of Credit
On January 4, 2016, we entered into a $250,000 revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as syndication agent, and certain other lenders. The credit agreement is secured by substantially all of our existing and future property and material domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement provides a subfacility of up to $10,000 for letters of credit and a subfacility of up to $10,000 for swing-line loans. The Credit Agreement matures on January 4, 2021 and the full balance of the revolving loans and all other obligations under the agreement must be paid at that time. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement will be available for letters of credit, working capital and general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016.
As of June 30, 2016, we had $88,000 in outstanding loans and $162,000 of unused credit under the Credit Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $740 of interest expense and $269 in amortization of deferred debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement.

9. Income Taxes
The benefit of income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $317 and the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,924. The effective tax rates were 32.9% and 31.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower qualifying production activity deductions, offset by a favorable impact of the research and development credit.
The deferred tax assets and liabilities have been shown net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as noncurrent. We expect to receive the full benefit of the deferred tax assets recorded with the exception of certain state credits and state net operating loss carryforwards for which we have recorded a valuation allowance.
Uncertain tax positions
We had a liability of $3,955 and $3,955 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal, state and local income tax matters as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. If recognized, this amount would reduce our effective tax rate.
We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2012. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state income tax examinations for tax years before 2011. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.

The computation of diluted net income (loss) per share does not include 2,767 and 1,768 options to acquire shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.
11. Share-Based Awards
Employee Stock Option and Incentive Plans
In October 2005, our shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) under which 4,800,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units (including performance options) and other share-based awards. The 2005 Plan provides that our employees and directors may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted certain share-based awards. In the case of option awards granted under the 2005 Plan, the exercise price of each option is determined based on the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan are subject to the vesting schedule or performance metrics set forth in the agreements pursuant to which they are granted. Upon a change of control of our Company, as such term is defined in the 2005 Plan, awards under the 2005 Plan will fully vest under certain circumstances. The 2005 Plan expired on May 25, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, there were 1,358,931 outstanding options and 25,046 outstanding shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock under the 2005 Plan.
In August 2015, our shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2015 Plan”) under which 11,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards and other share-based awards. The 2015 Plan provides that our employees and directors may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted certain share-based awards. In the case of option awards granted under the 2015 Plan, the exercise price of each option is determined based on the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Awards granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan are subject to the vesting schedule or performance metrics set forth in the agreements pursuant to which they are granted. Upon a change of control of our Company, as such term is defined in the 2015 Plan, awards under the 2015 Plan will fully vest under certain circumstances. As of June 30, 2016, there were 1,856,500 outstanding options, 664,532 outstanding shares of restricted stock awards and 8,613,425 shares available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.

As of June 30, 2016, $10,226 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years. This amount does not include the cost of new options that may be granted in future periods or any changes in our forfeiture percentage. The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1,353 and $1,657, respectively.

Employee Share Purchase Plan
On August 11, 2014, our shareholders approved an Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) under which 4,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for future grant. The Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares through payroll deductions of up to 15% of total base salary at a price equal to 90% of the lower of the fair market values of the shares as of the beginning or the end of the corresponding offering period. Any shares purchased under the Purchase Plan are subject to a six-month holding period. Employees are limited to purchasing no more than 1,500 shares on any single purchase date and no more than $25,000 in total fair market value of shares during any one calendar year. As of June 30, 2016, we have issued 147,464 shares under the Purchase Plan and 3,852,536 shares are available for future issuance.
Share-based compensation expense recorded for the employee share purchase plan was $126 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $68 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards activity during the three months ended June 30, 2016 is summarized as follows:
Number of Shares | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share | ||||||
Outstanding, April 1, 2016 | 191,247 | $ | 14.44 | ||||
Granted | 498,898 | 12.79 | |||||
Vested | (567 | ) | 20.20 | ||||
Outstanding, June 30, 2016 | 689,578 | $ | 13.24 |
Share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $545 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $198 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
The weighted-average grant date fair value for the restricted stock awards was estimated using the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
As of June 30, 2016, $7,928 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. This amount does not include the cost of new restricted stock awards that may be granted in future periods.
12. Concentration of Credit Risk
We had cash deposits at U.S. banks and financial institutions which exceeded federally insured limits at June 30, 2016. We are exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the institutions; however, we do not anticipate non-performance by these institutions.
13. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies
Commitments and Guarantees
Our software license agreements include a performance guarantee that our software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 365 days after delivery. To date, we have not incurred any significant costs associated with our performance guarantee or other related warranties and do not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties. Certain arrangements also include performance guarantees related to response time, availability for operational use, and other performance-related guarantees. Certain arrangements also include penalties in the form of maintenance credits should the performance of the software fail to meet the performance guarantees. To date, we have not incurred any significant costs associated with these warranties and do not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties.
We have historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If we are able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements and all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, revenue is recognized and these arrangements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If we are unable to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire, provided also, that all other criteria of revenue recognition have been met.
Certain standard sales agreements contain a money back guarantee providing for a performance guarantee that is already part of the software license agreement as well as training and support. The money back guarantee also warrants that the software will
18
remain robust and flexible to allow participation in the federal health incentive programs. The specific elements of the performance guarantee pertain to aspects of the software, which we have already tested and confirmed to consistently meet using our existing software without any modifications or enhancements. To date, we have not incurred any costs associated with this guarantee and do not expect to incur significant costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with this guarantee.
Our standard sales agreements contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which we shall indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to our software. As we have not incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements, we believe that our estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these indemnification obligations.
Hussein Litigation
On October 7, 2013, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our officers and directors in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange, captioned Ahmed D. Hussein v. Sheldon Razin, Steven Plochocki, Quality Systems, Inc. and Does 1-10, inclusive, No. 30-2013-00679600-CU-NP-CJC, by Ahmed Hussein, a former director and significant shareholder of our Company. We filed a demurrer to the complaint, which the court granted on April 10, 2014. An amended complaint was filed on April 25, 2014. The amended complaint generally alleges fraud and deceit, constructive fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with statements made to our shareholders regarding our financial condition and projected future performance. The amended complaint seeks actual damages, exemplary and punitive damages and costs. We filed a demurrer to the amended complaint. On July 29, 2014, the court sustained the demurrer with respect to the breach of fiduciary duty claim, and overruled the demurrer with respect to the fraud and deceit claims. On August 28, 2014, we filed an answer and also filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiff, alleging that the plaintiff breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company, Mr. Razin and Mr. Plochocki. On June 26, 2015, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted on September 16, 2015, dismissing all claims against us. On September 23, 2015, the plaintiff filed an application for reconsideration of the Court's summary judgment order, which the court denied. On October 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment, seeking to dismiss our cross-complaint, which the court denied on March 3, 2016. On May 9, 2016, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary adjudication, seeking to again dismiss our cross-complaint. The hearing for the motion is set for August 4, 2016. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.

On November 19, 2013, a putative class action complaint was filed on behalf of the shareholders of our Company other than the defendants against us and certain of our officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by one of our shareholders. After the court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for this action, and recaptioned the action In re Quality Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 8L13-cv-01818-CJC(JPRx), lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 7, 2014. The amended complaint, which is substantially similar to the litigation described above under the caption “Hussein Litigation,” generally alleges that statements made to our shareholders regarding our financial condition and projected future performance were false and misleading in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the individual defendants are liable for such statements because they are controlling persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, court costs and attorneys' fees. We filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on June 20, 2014, which the court granted on October 20, 2014, dismissing the complaint with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's order, which the court denied on January 5, 2015. On January 30, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, captioned In re Quality Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 15-55173. Plaintiffs filed their opening brief and we answered. Oral argument is not yet scheduled. We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and continue to defend against them vigorously. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.
Shareholder Derivative Litigation
On January 24, 2014, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our officers and current and former directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Timothy J. Foss, derivatively on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, vs. Craig A. Barbarosh, George H. Bristol, James C. Malone, Peter M. Neupert, Morris Panner, D. Russell Pflueger, Steven T. Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance E. Rosenzweig and Quality Systems, Inc., No. SACV14-00110-DOC-JPPx, by Timothy J. Foss, a shareholder of ours. The complaint arises from the same allegations described above under the captions “Hussein Litigation” and “Federal Securities Class Action” and generally alleges breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control and gross mismanagement by our directors, in addition to unjust enrichment and insider selling by individual directors. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, restitution and disgorgement of all profits, court costs, attorneys’ fees and implementation of enhanced corporate governance procedures. The parties have agreed to stay this litigation until the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issues a ruling on the pending appeal described above under the caption “Federal Securities Class Action”. We believe that the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.

14. Operating Segment Information
As of June 30, 2016, we have three reportable segments that are evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker (consisting of our Chief Executive Officer) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Operating segment data is as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Revenue: | ||||||||
NextGen Division | $ | 95,556 | $ | 91,615 | ||||
RCM Services Division | 22,365 | 22,462 | ||||||
QSI Dental Division | 4,284 | 4,418 | ||||||
Hospital Solutions Division (1) | — | 3,669 | ||||||
Consolidated revenue | $ | 122,205 | $ | 122,164 | ||||
Operating income: | ||||||||
NextGen Division | $ | 45,649 | $ | 44,858 | ||||
RCM Services Division | 4,458 | 4,417 | ||||||
QSI Dental Division | 1,877 | 950 | ||||||
Hospital Solutions Division (1) | — | 955 | ||||||
Corporate and unallocated | (51,856 | ) | (42,146 | ) | ||||
Consolidated operating income | $ | 128 | $ | 9,034 |
___________________________________
(1) The former Hospital Solutions Division was divested in October 2015.
Assets by segment are not tracked or used by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources or to assess performance, and thus not included in the table above.
The major components of the corporate and unallocated amounts are summarized in the table below:
Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Research and development costs, net | $ | 18,224 | $ | 17,085 | ||||
Amortization of capitalized software costs | 2,371 | 2,439 | ||||||
Marketing expense | 2,943 | 3,816 | ||||||
Restructuring costs (see Note 15) | 3,753 | — | ||||||
Other corporate and overhead costs (1) | 24,565 | 18,806 | ||||||
Total corporate and unallocated | $ | 51,856 | $ | 42,146 |
___________________________________
(1) The net increase in other corporate and overhead costs in the three months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily related to higher amortization of acquired intangible assets and other general and administrative costs associated with the acquisition of HealthFusion, higher acquisition costs (including fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities), and higher professional services costs.
The amounts classified as corporate and unallocated consist primarily of corporate general and administrative costs, acquisition and transaction-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of capitalized software costs, and costs of other centrally managed overhead and shared-services functions, including accounting and finance, human resources, information services, marketing, legal, and research and development, that are not controlled by segment level leadership. Although the segments may derive direct benefits as a result of such costs, our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance based upon stand-alone segment operating income, which excludes these corporate and unallocated amounts.

15. Restructuring Plan
In fiscal year 2016, we initiated a three-phase plan intended to better position our organization for future success. We implemented a series of actions to with the objective of achieving greater synergies and further integration of our products and services in support of our business strategies, and enabling a more efficient, integrated and client-centered delivery of the holistic solutions that we believe is required by our ambulatory care clients. We also transformed our management team with the appointment of a new chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer, and chief client officer. In the first phase, we redesigned the organization to more effectively support the execution of our strategy. Under phase two of our reorganization, we will continue building and enhancing the capabilities to drive future revenue growth. The third phase of the plan will consist of developing the services and solutions to accelerate revenue growth.
The overall plan also includes a multi-year initiative, called NextGen 2.0, to merge our business units into a single, streamlined, functional-based organization structure and to realign our organizational structure by consolidating the sales, marketing, information services, and software development responsibilities into single, company-wide roles in order to achieve greater efficiency. As a result, our future reportable segments may change due to such changes in the organization of our business.
The first phase was completed in April 2016, when we announced a corporate restructuring plan, which was approved by our Board of Directors. Under the restructuring plan, we reduced our domestic headcount by approximately 150 employees, or approximately six percent of our U.S.-based workforce. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $3,753 of restructuring costs within operating expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The restructuring costs consist of payroll-related costs, such as severance, outplacement costs, and continuing healthcare coverage, associated with the involuntary separation of employees pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement, which were accrued when it was probable that the benefits will be paid and the amount were reasonably estimable. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining liability of $1,308 related to our restructuring costs, which we expect to settle in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The restructuring plan was substantially completed as of June 30, 2016.

Company Overview
Quality Systems, Inc., primarily through its NextGen Healthcare subsidiary, provides technology-based solutions and services to the ambulatory care market in the United States. Our solutions provide our clients with the ability to redesign patient care and other workflow processes while improving productivity through the facilitation of managed access to patient information. We help promote healthy communities by empowering physician practice success and enriching the patient care experience while lowering the cost of healthcare.
We primarily derive revenue by developing and marketing software and services that automate certain aspects of practice management (“PM”) and electronic health records (“EHR”) for medical and dental practices. Our software can be licensed on a perpetual, on-premise basis, hosted in a private cloud or, in certain instances, as a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solution. We market and sell our solutions through a dedicated sales force and to a much lesser extent, through resellers. Our clients include single and small practice physicians, networks of practices such as physician hospital organizations (“PHOs”), management service organizations (“MSOs”), accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), ambulatory care centers, community health centers and medical and dental schools. We also provide implementation, training, support and maintenance for software and complementary services such as revenue cycle management (“RCM”) and electronic data interchange (“EDI”).
We have a history of developing new and enhanced technologies. Over the course of a number of years, we have also made strategic acquisitions to complement and enhance our product portfolio in the ambulatory care, RCM, and hospital markets.
Quality Systems, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1974. Our principal offices are located at 18111 Von Karman Ave., Suite 800, Irvine, California, 92612. Our websites are located at www.Nextgen.com and www.qsii.com. We operate on a fiscal year ending on March 31.
Trends and Events in Our Business
We believe that the following trends and events as described below have contributed to our consolidated results of operations and may continue to impact our future results.
22
We believe healthcare is more heavily influenced by regulatory and national health projects than by the cycles of our economy. The healthcare industry has been significantly impacted by the Obama Administration's broad healthcare reform efforts, including the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("HITECH Act") and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") that provided significant incentives to health care organizations for "Meaningful Use" adoption and interoperable electronic health record solutions.
We also believe that healthcare reform, including the repeal of the sustainable growth rate ("SGR") formula as part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 ("MACRA"), and a movement towards a value-based, pay-for-performance model and quality initiative efforts will stimulate demand for robust electronic health record solutions as well as new health information technology solutions from bundled billing capabilities to patient engagement and population health management. We believe MACRA may be the most important of the three regulations for our market because it permanently changes how ambulatory healthcare providers are reimbursed by Medicare. It offers certainty and a timeline for the market’s move away from volume-based, fee-for-service models to value-based payment models that reward the delivery of lower cost, high quality care.
While we expect to benefit from the increasing demands for greater efficiency as well as government support for increased adoption of electronic health records, the market for physician based electronic health records software is becoming increasingly saturated while physician group practices are rapidly being consolidated by hospitals, insurance payers and other entities. Hospital software providers are leveraging their position with their hospital clients to gain market share with hospital owned physician practices. Insurance providers and large physician groups are also consolidating physician offices creating additional opportunity for ambulatory software providers like us. Our strategy is to focus on addressing the growing needs of accountable care organizations around interoperability, patient engagements, population health, and data analytics.
We believe that our core strength lies in the central role our software products and services play in the delivery of healthcare by the primary physician in an ambulatory setting. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements and meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments. We intend to continue the development and enhancement of our software solutions to support healthcare reform, such as the recently enacted MACRA, which promotes the transition from fee-for-service to value-based, pay-for-performance and patient-centric and quality initiatives such as accountable care organizations. Key elements of our future software development will be to expand our interoperability capabilities enhancing the competitiveness of our software offerings, make our products more intuitive and easy to use, and to enhance the capability of our MediTouch® Platform to allow us to deliver our software over the cloud to larger ambulatory care practices.
In addition to the activities described above, mergers and acquisitions have been important to our development. In September 2013 we acquired Mirth Corporation ("Mirth"), a global leader in health information technology that helps clients achieve interoperability. In April 2015, we acquired Gennius, Inc. ("Gennius"), a population health analytics company which we believe enhances and leverages our acquisition of Mirth by broadening our business intelligence capabilities in the growing population health and value based care areas. In January 2016, we completed the acquisition of HealthFusion Holdings, Inc. ("HealthFusion"), a cloud-based healthcare information technology (“HCIT”) company providing electronic health record (“EHR”) and practice management (“PM”) software primarily to the one-to-ten physician size market. We entered into a revolving credit agreement to fund the transaction. We believe the acquisition provided us with access to a market we were not in and provides us with technology that will accelerate our transition to the cloud.
We continue to evaluate the organizational structure of our company with the objective of achieving greater synergies and further integration of our products and services, in support of our business strategies. In fiscal 2016, we initiated a three-phase plan to better position our organization for future success. In the first phase, we redesigned the organization to more effectively support the execution of our strategy. We also transformed our management team with the appointment of a new chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer, and chief client officer. This first phase was completed in April 2016, when we announced a corporate restructuring plan intended to enable a more efficient, integrated and client-centered delivery of the holistic solutions that we believe is required by our ambulatory care clients. The restructuring plan includes merging our business units into a single, streamlined, functional-based organization structure. We are now beginning phase two of our reorganization, which includes building and enhancing the capabilities that will drive future revenue growth. The third phase of the plan will consist of developing the services and solutions to accelerate revenue growth.
We have and intend to continue investments in our infrastructure, including but not limited to maintaining and expanding sales, marketing and product development activities to improve patient care and reduce healthcare costs, providing industry-leading, integrated clinical and administrative healthcare data systems, services, and expertise to clinical, medical, technology, and healthcare business professionals while continuing our strong commitment of service in support of our client satisfaction programs. These investments in our infrastructure will continue while maintaining reasonable expense discipline. We strive to add new clients and expand our relationship with existing clients through delivery of add-on and complementary products and services and believe that our client base that is using our software on a daily basis is a strategic asset. We intend to leverage this strategic asset by expanding our product and service offerings towards this client base.
Led by our vision and mission, we are resetting our strategy and structure to deliver value to our clients. To achieve a lower-cost, increased capability structure, our new management team is building what we believe is an aligned, client-focused organization, supported by a recurring revenue stream and a large and diverse existing client base.
23
Our Strategy
We strive to be the trusted partner for clients of all size, integrating services, software and analytics into a consolidated solution. As a healthcare information technology and services company, we plan to continue investing in our current capabilities as well as building and/or acquiring new capabilities as we guide our clients from fee-for-service to fee-for-value payer reimbursement models. With approximately 90,000 providers using our solutions, we are enabling care and believe we can truly transform the delivery of care through the following strategic priorities:
• | Focus on the ambulatory client segment. In October 2015, we sold our Hospital Solutions Division to focus on our core ambulatory clients. Further, a recent operational reorganization better allows us to serve the needs of our ambulatory clients through a simpler, more nimble, and focused organization. We believe it is essential to protect, build and sell new capabilities within our ambulatory platform. We are focused on our core by increasing quality and the serviceability of our solutions. We intend to continue to enhance the capabilities of our NextGen Ambulatory flagship product. |
• | Cloud transition. Through our acquisition of HealthFusion in January 2016, we acquired a highly scalable, pure cloud-based and mobile-enabled platform that operates under the tradename MediTouch®. We intend to expand the capability of this platform to serve the requirements of larger ambulatory practices. When combined with our Mirth-branded products, we can offer our clients a full suite of cloud-based solutions that better enable our clients to focus on care delivery. |
• | Solutions selling. We believe there is significant opportunity to extend the solutions we offer existing and new clients through value added services such as RCM, EDI, interoperability solutions and professional services. This will evolve our relationships from being a seller of products and services to delivering a consistent solution suite and experience for our clients. |
• | Population health software and services. We are migrating into applications, analytics and services that we believe will enable our clients to be successful in managing the health of patient populations. We are establishing strong development partners within our core client base, participating in shared-risk contracts, and working together to determine population health solutions. |
• | More effective use of capital. From cessation of the dividend, leveraging our balance sheet for future opportunities, to managing our cost structure, we are transforming our capital strategy. Our recent reorganization was formulated to result in a more efficient, integrated and streamlined organization. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial statements and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies and update our assumptions, estimates, and judgments, as needed, to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between our estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting policies and estimates since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

Revenues
The following table presents our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Revenues: | |||||||
Software license and hardware | $ | 14,789 | $ | 16,189 | |||
Software related subscription services | 19,875 | 12,246 | |||||
Total software, hardware and related | 34,664 | 28,435 | |||||
Support and maintenance | 38,007 | 43,713 | |||||
Revenue cycle management and related services | 21,053 | 20,243 | |||||
Electronic data interchange and data services | 22,124 | 20,189 | |||||
Professional services | 6,357 | 9,584 | |||||
Total revenues | $ | 122,205 | $ | 122,164 |
We generate revenue from sales of licensing rights and subscriptions to our software products, hardware and third party software products, support and maintenance services, revenue cycle management and related services ("RCM"), electronic data interchange and data services (“EDI”), and professional services, such as implementation, training, and consulting performed for clients who use our products.
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 remained consistent at $122.2 million compared to the prior year period. Total software, hardware and related increased $6.2 million, driven by an increase of $7.6 million in software related subscription services, offset by a $1.4 million decline in software license and hardware revenue. The growth in software related subscription services is primarily attributed to sales of the MediTouch® cloud-based system acquired from HealthFusion in January 2016, and the decline in software license and hardware revenue reflects a shift in market dynamics toward cloud-based solutions and away from perpetual license arrangements.
EDI and RCM revenue grew $1.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to the prior year period due to addition of new clients, further penetration of our existing client base, and additional cross-sell of newer products. Support and maintenance decreased $5.7 million primarily due to the disposition of Hospital Solutions Division in October 2015, an increased level of sales credits in the current period, and client attrition. Professional services revenue decreased $3.2 million as a result of lower client demand for implementation, training, and consulting services related to the recent decline in new system sales and market saturation of our core software products.
Recurring service revenue, consisting of software related subscription services, support and maintenance, RCM, and EDI, represented 82.7% and 78.9% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
We expect to benefit from the growth of a replacement market driven by an expected consolidation of electronic health records vendors. We also anticipate the creation of new opportunities in connection with the evolution of healthcare from a fee-for-services reimbursement model to a pay-for-performance model around the management of patient populations. Our acquisitions of Gennius and Mirth provided us with new products and services around population health, collaborative care management, interoperability and enterprise analytics to address these market dynamics. While it remains difficult to assess the relative impact or the timing of positive and negative trends affecting the aforementioned market opportunities, we believe we are well positioned to remain a leader in serving the evolving market needs for healthcare information technology.
Gross Profit
The following table presents our consolidated cost of revenue and gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Total cost of revenue | $ | 56,815 | $ | 55,977 | |||
Gross profit | 65,390 | 66,187 | |||||
Gross margin % | 53.5 | % | 54.2 | % |
Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation expense, including share-based compensation, for personnel that deliver our products and services. Cost of revenue also includes amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired technology, third
26
party consultant and outsourcing costs, costs associated with our EDI business partners and clearinghouses, hosting service costs, third party software costs and royalties, and other costs directly associated with delivering our products and services. Refer to Note 6, "Capitalized Software Costs" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information and an estimate of future expected amortization of capitalized software costs.
Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and is included in the amounts above.
Gross profit decreased $0.8 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to higher amortization of the software technology intangible asset acquired from HealthFusion, partially offset by lower payroll costs associated with delivering support and maintenance and professional services. The gross margin percentage remained consistent compared to the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
The following table presents our consolidated selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Selling, general and administrative | $ | 40,581 | $ | 39,171 | |||
Selling, general and administrative, as a percentage of revenue | 33.2 | % | 32.1 | % |
Selling, general and administrative expense consist of compensation expense, including share-based compensation, for management and administrative personnel, selling and marketing expense, facilities costs, depreciation, professional service fees, including legal and accounting services, acquisition and transaction-related costs, and other general corporate and administrative expenses.
Share-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is included in the amounts above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.4 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the incremental expense associated with the acquisition of HealthFusion in January 2016, a $1.8 million increase in amortization of intangibles acquired from HealthFusion, and $1.9 million increase in acquisition costs primarily related to the fair value adjustments of contingent consideration, partially offset by lower payroll costs associated with the corporate restructuring plan (refer to Note 15, "Restructuring Plan" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information) and the disposition of the Hospital Solutions Division in October 2015.
Research and Development Costs, net
The following table presents our consolidated net research and development costs, capitalized software costs, and gross expenditures prior to capitalization, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

Gross research and development expenditures, including costs expensed and costs capitalized, consist of compensation expense, including share-based compensation, for research and development personnel, certain third-party consultant fees, software maintenance costs, and other costs related to new product development and enhancement to our existing products. We intend to continue to invest heavily in research and development expenses as we continue to bring additional functionality and features to the medical community and develop a new integrated inpatient and outpatient, web-based software platform.
The capitalization of software development costs results in a reduction to our reported net research and development costs. Our software capitalization rate, or capitalized software costs as a percentage of gross expenditures, has varied historically and may continue to vary based on the nature and status of specific projects and initiatives in progress. Although changes in software capitalization rates have no impact on our overall cash flows, it results in fluctuations in the amount of software development costs
27
being expensed up front and the amount of net research and development costs reported in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Share-based compensation expense included in net research and development costs was $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and is included in the amounts above.
Net research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.1 million compared to the prior year period as a result of a $0.5 million increase in our gross expenditures and a $0.7 million decline in capitalized software costs. The increase in gross expenditures is related to the acquisition of HealthFusion and increased investment in the development of new products, partially offset by lower gross expenditures related to the discontinuation of the NextGen Now development project during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and lower personnel costs associated with the restructuring plan. The reduction in capitalized software costs is due to a decline in the rate of the software capitalization rate to 13.9% compared to 17.5% in the prior year period, which reflects a trend towards a more agile development approach that inherently shortens the time frame during which development costs may be capitalized and the various stages of software development during a given period.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
The following table presents our amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Amortization of acquired intangible assets | $ | 2,704 | $ | 897 |
Amortization of acquired intangible assets included in operating expense consist of the amortization related to our customer relationships, trade name, and contracts intangible assets acquired as part of our business combinations. Refer to Note 5, "Intangible Assets" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for an estimate of future expected amortization.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.7 million compared to the prior year due to additional amortization of the customer relationships and trade name intangible assets related to the acquisition of HealthFusion. Refer to Note 5, "Business Combinations" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Restructuring Costs
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $3.8 million of restructuring costs within operating expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The restructuring costs resulted from a restructuring plan that we announced in April 2016 whereby we reduced our domestic headcount by approximately 150 employees, or approximately six percent of our U.S.-based workforce, and such costs consist of payroll-related costs, such as severance, outplacement costs, and continuing healthcare coverage, associated with the involuntary separation of employees pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining liability of $1.3 million related to our restructuring costs, which we expect to settle in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
The restructuring is part of a three-phase plan initiated in fiscal year 2016 that was intended to better position our organization for future success. In the first phase, we restructured the organization to more effectively support the execution of our strategy. We believe that the restructuring will reduce our costs and improve our financial performance. As we begin phase two of our reorganization, we expect to continue building and enhancing the capabilities that will drive future revenue growth. The third phase of the plan will consist of developing the services and solutions to accelerate revenue growth.
The overall plan also includes a multi-year initiative, called NextGen 2.0, to merge our business units into a single, streamlined, functional-based organization structure and to realign our organizational structure by consolidating the sales, marketing, information services, and software development responsibilities into single, company-wide roles in order to achieve greater efficiency. As a result, our future reportable segments may change due to such changes in the organization of our business.
Refer to Note 15, "Restructuring Plan" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Interest and Other Income and Expense
The following table presents our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Interest income | $ | 8 | $ | 302 | |||
Interest expense | (1,013 | ) | — | ||||
Other expense, net | (87 | ) | (50 | ) |
Interest income relates primarily to our marketable securities. Interest expense relates to our revolving credit agreement that was entered into in January 2016 and the related amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. Refer to Note 7, “Line of Credit” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information. Other expense and income relates primarily to net realized gains and losses on our marketable securities.
Interest expense for the year ended three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.0 million compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily related to the interest expense associated with our revolving credit agreement and the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. As of June 30, 2016, we had $88.0 million in outstanding loans under the revolving credit agreement.
All other fluctuations in interest and other income and expense are not deemed significant.
Provision for (benefit of) Income Taxes
The following table presents our provision for (benefit of) income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Provision for (benefit of) income taxes | $ | (317 | ) | $ | 2,924 | ||
Effective tax rate | 32.9 | % | 31.5 | % |
The effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower qualifying production activity deductions, offset by a favorable impact of the research and development credit.
Net Income (Loss)
The following table presents our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share and for the three months ended June 30 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Net income (loss) | $ | (647 | ) | $ | 6,362 | ||
Net income (loss) per share: | |||||||
Basic | $ | (0.01 | ) | $ | 0.11 | ||
Diluted | $ | (0.01 | ) | $ | 0.10 |
As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and expense, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $7.0 million compared to the prior year period. Specifically, the decrease in net income is due to the $3.8 million of restructuring costs, combined with a $1.9 million increase in acquisition costs primarily related to the fair value adjustments of contingent consideration, $1.7 million higher amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition of HealthFusion, $1.1 million higher net research and development costs, and $1.0 million increase in interest expense in connection with the revolving credit agreement, partially offset by lower payroll costs associated with the corporate restructuring plan and the disposition of the Hospital Solutions Division in October 2015.

NextGen Division
NextGen Division revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $3.9 million and divisional operating income increased $0.8 million compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenue was driven by a $8.7 million increase in our software related subscription services attributed mostly to the acquisition of HealthFusion in January 2016 and a $1.7 million increase in EDI revenue from the addition of new clients and further penetration of our existing client base. Such increases in revenue were partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in support and maintenance, a $2.4 million decrease in professional services and a $1.1 million decrease in software license and hardware revenue, resulting from of a shift in market dynamics toward cloud-based solutions and away from perpetual license arrangements, resulting in lower client demand for our core software products and related support and maintenance, implementation, training, and consulting services.
The increase in divisional operating income is primarily the result of higher gross profit from the aforementioned increases in revenue, partially offset by an increase in overall operating expenses attributed to the acquisition of HealthFusion.
Our goals for the NextGen Division include further enhancement of our existing products, including expansion of our software and service offerings that support pay-for-performance initiatives around accountable care organizations, bringing greater ease of use and intuitiveness to our software products, enhancing our managed cloud and hosting services to lower our clients' total cost of ownership, expanding our interoperability and enterprise analytics capabilities, and further development and enhancements of our portfolio of specialty focused templates within our electronic health records software. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements, including meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments and recent healthcare reform that is driving the transition towards pay-for-performance, value-based reimbursement models. We believe that the expanded requirements for continued eligibility for incentive payments under meaningful use rules will result in an expanded replacement market for electronic health records software. We also intend to continue selling additional software and services to existing clients, expanding penetration of connectivity and other services to new and existing clients, and capitalizing on growth and cross selling opportunities within the RCM Services Division. Our acquisition of HealthFusion will allow us expand our client base and cloud-based solution capabilities in the ambulatory market and meet the needs of practices of increasing size and complexity. Our acquisitions of Mirth and Gennius improve our competitiveness in the markets and provide new clients and expanded markets for the NextGen Division and also support our strategy to focus on accountable care organizations around interoperability, patient engagements, population health and collaborative care management, and enterprise analytics. We believe we are well-positioned within the evolving healthcare market to deliver products and services that address the growing importance of quality collaborative care and shift from fee-for-service to value-based, pay-for-performance care.
30
We believe that the NextGen Division’s results are attributed to a strong brand name and reputation within the marketplace for healthcare information technology software and services and investments in sales and marketing activities, including new marketing campaigns, Internet advertising investments, tradeshow attendance and other expanded advertising and marketing expenditures.
RCM Services Division
RCM Services Division revenue and divisional operating income remained consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. We believe that a significant opportunity exists to continue cross selling RCM services to existing clients. The portion of existing NextGen clients who are using the RCM Services Division's services is less than 10%. We are actively pursuing efforts to achieve faster growth from expanded efforts to leverage the existing NextGen Division's sales force towards selling RCM services. We also believe that ongoing increases in the complexity of medical billing and collections processes, including the migration to value-based reimbursement models, will create additional opportunities for our RCM Services Division.
QSI Dental Division
QSI Dental Division revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $0.1 million and divisional operating income increased $0.9 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease in revenue was driven by lower software, hardware, and related revenues, partially offset by an increase in QSI Dental EDI revenue. The increase in divisional operating income was the result of lower cost of revenue associated with the delivery of our products and services, including lower payroll costs related to decreases in divisional headcount and lower third party consultant and outsourcing costs.
We believe that the QSI Dental Division is well-positioned to sell to the FQHCs market and intends to continue leveraging the NextGen Division's sales force to sell its dental electronic medical records software to practices that provide both medical and dental services, such as FQHCs, which are receiving grants as part of the ARRA. Our goal for the QSI Dental Division is to continue to invest in the cloud-based QSIDental Web platform while aggressively marketing QSIDental Web to both new and existing clients.
Corporate and unallocated
The major components of the corporate and unallocated amounts are summarized in the table below (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Research and development costs, net | $ | 18,224 | $ | 17,085 | ||||
Amortization of capitalized software costs | 2,371 | 2,439 | ||||||
Marketing expense | 2,943 | 3,816 | ||||||
Restructuring costs | 3,753 | — | ||||||
Other corporate and overhead costs (1) | 24,565 | 18,806 | ||||||
Total corporate and unallocated | 51,856 | 42,146 |
The amounts classified as corporate and unallocated consist primarily of corporate general and administrative costs, acquisition and transaction-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of capitalized software costs, and costs of other centrally managed overhead and shared-services functions, including accounting and finance, human resources, information services, marketing, legal, and research and development, that are not controlled by segment level leadership. Although the segments may derive direct benefits as a result of such costs, our chief operating decision maker (consisting of our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance based upon stand-alone segment operating income, which excludes these corporate and unallocated amounts.
Corporate and unallocated expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $9.7 million compared to the prior year period. The net increase in corporate and unallocated expense is primarily the result of a $5.8 million increase in other corporate and overhead costs, which was related to higher amortization of acquired intangible assets and other general and administrative costs associated with the acquisition of HealthFusion, higher acquisition costs (including fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities), and higher professional services costs. Total corporate and unallocated expense also increased due to $3.7 million of restructuring costs recorded during the period and a $1.1 million increase in net research and development costs. Refer to the corresponding sections above titled "Restructuring Costs" and "Research and Development, net" for additional information regarding restructuring costs and net research and development costs.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Net income (loss) | $ | (647 | ) | $ | 6,362 | |||
Non-cash expenses | 17,039 | 8,318 | ||||||
Cash from net income (loss), as adjusted | 16,392 | 14,680 | ||||||
Change in other assets and liabilities | (3,459 | ) | (10,973 | ) | ||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 12,933 | $ | 3,707 |
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities increased $9.2 million compared to the prior year period, which improvement is primarily due to changes in assets and, to a lesser extent, an increase in net income as adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses. The reduction in cash flows due to changes in assets and liabilities is mostly attributed to decreases in income taxes payable and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset a decrease in cash paid for accounts payables. The increase in non-cash expenses was primarily the result of higher amortization of intangibles associated with the acquisition of HealthFusion, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, and restructuring costs, net of amounts paid. Refer to the "Net Income" section above for additional details regarding the fluctuations in net income.
Cash provided by operating activities has historically been, and is expected to continue to be, our primary source of cash, driven by our net income and working capital management.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $2.9 million compared with $7.4 million cash used in investing activities in the prior year period. The $10.2 million increase in net cash from investing activities is primarily due to a $9.7 million net increase in cash from the sales of marketable securities and a $0.7 million decrease in additions to capitalized software, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in additions to equipment and improvements.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $16.6 million compared with $10.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash used in financing activities relates to $17.0 million of principal repayments on our revolving line of credit, partially offset by $10.7 million in dividends paid to shareholders during the prior year period.
32
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents balance of $26.3 million reflects a $10.1 million decrease compared to $36.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2016. This decrease primarily reflects $17.0 million of principal repayments on our revolving line of credit, offset by an increase in cash provided by operating activities, as noted above.
In January 2016, we entered into a $250.0 million revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as syndication agent, and certain other lenders. Our outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement was $88.0 million as of June 30, 2016.
We may continue to use a portion of our funds as well as available financing from the Credit Agreement for future acquisitions or other similar business activities, although the specific timing and amount of funds to be used is not currently determinable. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, the Credit Agreement, as well as our cash generated from operations. We intend to expend some of our available funds for the development of products complementary to our existing product line as well as new versions of certain of our products. These developments are intended to take advantage of more powerful technologies and to increase the integration of our products.
Our investment policy is determined by our Board of Directors. We currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including tax exempt and taxable money market funds, certificates of deposit and short term municipal bonds with average maturities of 365 days or less at the time of purchase. Our Board of Directors continues to review alternate uses for our cash including an expansion of our investment policy and other items. Any or all of these programs could significantly impact our investment income in future periods.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand at June 30, 2016, together with our cash flows from operations and liquidity provided by the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at June 30, 2016 and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods (in thousands):

33
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As of June 30, 2016, we were subject to minimal market risk on our cash and cash equivalents as we maintained our balances in very liquid money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.
As of June 30, 2016, we had $88.0 million in outstanding loans under our revolving credit agreement. The revolving loans under the agreement bear interest at our option of either, (a) a base rate based on the highest of (i) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its prime rate, (ii) the greater of (A) the federal funds effective rate and (B) the overnight bank funding rate (as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) plus 0.50% and (iii) the one-month British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio from time to time, ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, or (b) a LIBOR-based rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio from time to time, ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%. Accordingly, we are exposed to interest rate risk, primarily changes in LIBOR, due to our loans under the revolving credit agreement. A one hundred basis point (1.00%) change in the interest rate on our outstanding loans as of June 30, 2016 would result in a corresponding change in our annual interest expense of approximately $0.9 million. Refer to Note 7, “Line of Credit” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
As of June 30, 2016, we had international operations that exposed us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. However, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations has not been material to our financial position or operating results.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). They have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities and would be disclosed on a timely basis. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They have also concluded that the our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, there were no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Hussein Litigation
On October 7, 2013, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our officers and directors in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange, captioned Ahmed D. Hussein v. Sheldon Razin, Steven Plochocki, Quality Systems, Inc. and Does 1-10, inclusive, No. 30-2013-00679600-CU-NP-CJC, by Ahmed Hussein, a former director and significant shareholder of our Company. We filed a demurrer to the complaint, which the court granted on April 10, 2014. An amended complaint was filed on April 25, 2014. The amended complaint generally alleges fraud and deceit, constructive fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with statements made to our shareholders regarding our financial condition and projected future performance. The amended complaint seeks actual damages, exemplary and punitive damages and costs. We filed a demurrer to the amended complaint. On July 29, 2014, the court sustained the demurrer with respect to the breach of fiduciary duty claim, and overruled the demurrer with respect to the fraud and deceit claims. On August 28, 2014, we filed an answer and also filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiff, alleging that the plaintiff breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company, Mr. Razin and Mr. Plochocki. On June 26, 2015, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted on September 16, 2015, dismissing all claims against us. On September 23, 2015, the plaintiff filed an application for reconsideration of the Court’s summary judgment order, which the court denied. On October 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment, seeking to dismiss our cross-complaint, which the court denied on March 3, 2016. On May 9, 2016, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary adjudication, seeking to again dismiss our cross-complaint. The hearing for the motion is set for August 4, 2016. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.
Federal Securities Class Action
On November 19, 2013, a putative class action complaint was filed on behalf of the shareholders of our Company other than the defendants against us and certain of our officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by one of our shareholders. After the court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for this action, and recaptioned the action In re Quality Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 8L13-cv-01818-CJC(JPRx), lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 7, 2014. The amended complaint, which is substantially similar to the litigation described above under the caption “Hussein Litigation,” generally alleges that statements made to our shareholders regarding our financial condition and projected future performance were false and misleading in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the individual defendants are liable for such statements because they are controlling persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, court costs and attorneys' fees. We filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on June 20, 2014, which the court granted on October 20, 2014, dismissing the complaint with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's order, which the court denied on January 5, 2015. On January 30, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, captioned In re Quality Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 15-55173. Plaintiffs filed their opening brief and we answered. Oral argument is not yet scheduled. We believe that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and continue to defend against them vigorously. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.
Shareholder Derivative Litigation
On January 24, 2014, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our officers and current and former directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Timothy J. Foss, derivatively on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, vs. Craig A. Barbarosh, George H. Bristol, James C. Malone, Peter M. Neupert, Morris Panner, D. Russell Pflueger, Steven T. Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance E. Rosenzweig and Quality Systems, Inc., No. SACV14-00110-DOC-JPPx, by Timothy J. Foss, a shareholder of ours. The complaint arises from the same allegations described above under the captions “Hussein Litigation” and “Federal Securities Class Action” and generally alleges breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control and gross mismanagement by our directors, in addition to unjust enrichment and insider selling by individual directors. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, restitution and disgorgement of all profits, court costs, attorneys’ fees and implementation of enhanced corporate governance procedures. The parties have agreed to stay this litigation until the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issues a ruling on the pending appeal described above under the caption “Federal Securities Class Action”. We believe that the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.
In addition to the above, we have experienced legal claims by customers regarding product and contract disputes and from time to time, claims by other third parties asserting that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We believe that these claims, including those filed by Mr. Hussein, the Deerfield Beach Police Pension Fund and the shareholder derivative action, are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously; however, we could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources even if we are ultimately successful in the defense of such claims. Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. We refer you to the discussion of infringement and litigation risks in our “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report.
