NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. On September 6, 2018, Quality Systems, Inc. changed its corporate name to NextGen Healthcare, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NextGen Healthcare, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 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, 2018. 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.

Effective April 1, 2018, we changed the presentation of our consolidated statements of comprehensive income to present revenue and cost of revenue under separate ‘recurring’ captions and ‘software, hardware, and other non-recurring’ captions. Recurring consists of revenue and related cost of revenue for subscription services, support and maintenance, managed services, and electronic data interchange and data services. Software, hardware, and other non-recurring consists of revenue and related cost of revenue, for software licenses, hardware, and other non-recurring services, such as implementation, training, and consulting services. Cost of revenue within recurring and software, hardware, and other non-recurring are reported exclusive of the amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired intangible assets. Amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired intangible assets are now reported in a separate cost of revenue caption. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Also effective April 1, 2018, prior period amounts previously presented as deferred revenue are now presented as contract liabilities. Prior period balances have not changed.

References to amounts in the consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except shares and per share data, unless otherwise specified.

Significant Accounting Policies. We adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606, effective on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method (see Note 2). There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Share-Based Compensation. The following table summarizes total share-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.

In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-05, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, to add various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to Accounting Standards Codification 740. SAB 118 was issued by the SEC in December 2017 to provide immediate guidance for accounting implications of the United States Tax Reform under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). We have evaluated the potential impacts of SAB 118 and have applied this guidance to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures (see Note 10).

In May 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). ASU 2017-09 clarifies the changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted and prospective application is required. ASU 2017-09 was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted in two scenarios as identified in the new standard. ASU 2017-01 was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Although it does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, it states that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-18 was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this new standard resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities of $5,016 and a decrease to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,523 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 is intended to add and clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows to eliminate diversity in practice related to how such cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-15 was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this new standard did not 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: Topic 606 ("ASC 606"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). We adopted ASC 606 and all related amendments as of April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption (see Note 2).

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted. Recent accounting pronouncements requiring implementation in current or future periods are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this updated authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2018-13 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and we currently do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of Step two of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted on goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and we currently do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact 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 lessees to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases and to disclose key information about the leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

We expect to implement the new lease guidance, including all related updates, when it becomes effective for us on April 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which is the additional transition method described within ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, issued by the FASB in July 2018. We are currently in the process of finalizing our impact assessment and implementing changes to our policies, processes, and internal controls over financial reporting to meet the requirements under the new guidance related to identifying and measuring right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, including related disclosures. In addition to evaluating each of our existing facility lease arrangements, we are also in the process of reviewing other contractual arrangements to determine if any other leases exist within the scope of the new lease guidance or whether our arrangements contain any embedded leases. We expect that the most significant impact will be the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet and an additional level of disclosures related to our leases. While we continue to assess the impact of the new lease guidance on our consolidated financial statements, we currently do not expect the adoption of the new lease guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Adoption of ASC 606

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance provides a five-step process for determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition and establishes disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. It also provides guidance on the accounting treatment for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract that would not have been incurred had the contract not been obtained.

We adopted ASC 606 and all related amendments as of April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those prior periods. We have also implemented changes to our processes, policies, and internal controls over financial reporting to address the impacts of the new revenue recognition standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The adjustments to reflect the cumulative effect of the changes to the balances of our previously reported consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 for the adoption of ASC 606 are summarized as follows:

	As Reported		ASC 606 Transition			Adjusted
	March 31, 2018		Adjustments			April 1, 2018

We recorded a net increase to retained earnings of $8,419 as of April 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606, with the impact primarily related to (i) revenue cycle management (“RCM”) and related services revenue whereby revenue recognition may be accelerated under ASC 606 for software, subscriptions, support and maintenance, and professional services included with RCM arrangements as the timing of revenue recognition is based upon the transfer of value of the promised goods or services to our clients, which may occur prior to the time that client collections occur, (ii) the amortization of capitalized direct sales commissions costs over a longer period of time under ASC 606, and (iii) the income tax impact of the cumulative transition adjustment. Further, we recorded reclassifications to present certain unbilled amounts as contract assets and sales returns reserves and certain customer liabilities as other current liabilities, which were both previously recorded within accounts receivables on our consolidated balance sheets.

We applied the practical expedient permitting the recognition of revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice based on the actual usage by the customers for our electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services and other transaction-based services. We have reflected the aggregate effect of all contract modifications occurring prior to the ASC 606 adoption date when (i) identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, (ii) determining the transaction price, and (iii) allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.

The adoption of ASC 606 had no transition impact on cash provided by or used in operating, financing or investing activities reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income as of December 31, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, assuming that the previous revenue recognition guidance in ASC 605 had been in effect, is summarized as follows:

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations

We generate revenue from sales of licensing rights and subscriptions to our software solutions, hardware and third-party software products, support and maintenance, managed services (formerly referred to as revenue cycle management and related services), EDI, and other non-recurring services, including implementation, training, and consulting services. Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations that consist of various combinations of our software solutions and related services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

The total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation within an arrangement based on estimated standalone selling prices. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers, except for certain software licenses that are based on the residual approach because their standalone selling prices are highly variable and certain maintenance customers that are based on substantive renewal rates. In instances where standalone selling price is not observable, such as software licenses included in our RCM arrangements, we estimate standalone selling price utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. When standalone selling prices are not observable, significant judgment is required in estimating the standalone selling price for each performance obligation.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We expect that the new revenue guidance in ASC 606 will result in additional complexity to our revenue recognition, including the use of an increased amount of significant judgments and estimates, particularly as it relates to our RCM services revenue.

We exclude sales tax from the measurement of the transaction price and record revenue net of taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by our major revenue categories and by occurrence:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Recurring revenues:
Subscription services	$	30,035	$	26,596	$	87,618	$	78,959
Support and maintenance		39,714		40,362		120,556		123,171

Software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues:
Software license and hardware		9,217		7,759		26,013		24,032
Other non-recurring services		4,204		4,959		14,605		13,596
Total software, hardware and other non-recurring revenues		13,421		12,718		40,618		37,628

Total revenues	$	130,867	$	131,715	$	394,388	$	395,244

Recurring revenues consists of subscription services, support and maintenance, managed services, and EDI and data services. Software, hardware, and other non-recurring consists of revenue from sales of software license and hardware and certain non-recurring services, such as implementation, training, and consulting performed for clients who use our products.

Generally, we recognize revenue under ASC 606 for our most significant performance obligations as follows:

Subscription services. Performance obligations involving subscription services, which include annual licenses, are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services throughout the contract period. We recognize revenue related to these services ratably over the respective noncancelable contract term.

Support and maintenance. Performance obligations involving support and maintenance are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the maintenance services provided. Our support and maintenance services may consist of separate performance obligations, such as unspecified upgrades or enhancements and technical support, which are considered stand-ready in nature and can be offered at various points during the service period. Since the efforts associated with the combined support and maintenance services are rendered concurrently and provided evenly throughout the service period, we consider the series of support and maintenance services to be a single performance obligation. Therefore, we recognize revenue related to these services ratably over the respective noncancelable contract term.

Managed services. Managed services consist primarily of RCM and related services, but also includes transcription services and certain other recurring services. Performance obligations associated with RCM services are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services executed throughout the contract period. The majority of service fees under our RCM arrangements are variable consideration contingent upon collections by our clients. We estimate the variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to over the noncancelable contract term associated with our RCM service arrangements. The estimate of variable consideration included in the transaction price typically involves estimating the amounts we will ultimately collect on behalf of our clients and the relative fee we charge that is generally calculated as a percentage of those collections. Inputs to these estimates include, but are not limited to, historical service fees and collections amounts, timing of historical collections relative to the timing of when claims are submitted by our clients to their respective payers, macroeconomic trends, and anticipated changes in the number of providers. Significant judgement is required when estimating the total transaction price based on the variable consideration. We may apply certain constraints, when appropriate and permitted under ASC 606, to our estimates around our variable consideration in order to ensure that our estimates do not pose a risk of significantly misstating our revenue in any reporting period. RCM and related services may not be rendered evenly over the contract period as the timing of services are based on customer collections, which may vary throughout the service period. We recognize revenue for RCM based on the amount of collections received throughout the contract term as it most closely depicts our efforts to transfer our service obligations to the customer. Performance obligations related to the transcription services and other recurring services are generally satisfied as the corresponding services are provided and revenue is recognized as such services are rendered.

Electronic data interchange and data services. Performance obligations related to EDI and other transaction processing services are satisfied at the point in time the services are rendered. The transfer of control occurs when the transaction processing services are delivered and the customer receives the benefits from the services provided.

Software license and hardware. Software license and hardware are considered point-in-time performance obligations as control is transferred to customers upon the delivery of the software license and hardware. Our software licenses are considered functional licenses, and revenue recognition generally occurs on the date of contract execution as the customer is provided with immediate access to the license. We generally determine the amount of consideration allocated to the software license performance obligation using the residual approach, except for certain RCM arrangements where the amount allocated to the software license performance obligation is determined based on estimated relative standalone selling prices. For hardware, we recognize revenue upon transfer of such hardware or devices to the customer.

Other non-recurring services. Performance obligations related to other non-recurring services, including implementation, training, and consulting services, are generally satisfied as the corresponding services are provided. Once the services have been provided to the customer, the transfer of control has occurred. Therefore, we recognize revenue as such services are rendered.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of transaction price related to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations over the respective noncancelable contract term was approximately $456,000, of which we expect to recognize approximately 9% as services are rendered or goods are delivered, 46% over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Contract Balances

Contract balances result from the timing differences between our revenue recognition, invoicing, and cash collections. Such contract balances include accounts receivables, contract assets and liabilities, and other customer deposits and liabilities balances. Accounts receivable includes invoiced amounts where the right to receive payment is unconditional and only subject to the passage of time. Contract assets include amounts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. Contract assets are generally associated with our sales of software licenses, but may also be associated with other performance obligations such as subscription services, support and maintenance, annual licenses, and professional services, where control has been transferred to our customers but the associated payments are based on future customer collections (in the case of our RCM service arrangements) or based on future milestone payment due dates. In such instances, the revenue recognized may exceed the amount invoiced to the customer and such balances are included in contract assets since our right to receive payment is not unconditional, but rather is conditional upon customer collections or the continued functionality of the software and our ongoing support and maintenance obligations. Contract liabilities consist mainly of fees invoiced or paid by our clients for which the associated services have not been performed and revenues have not been recognized. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are classified as current or long-term on our consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when we expect to complete the related performance obligations and invoice the customer. Contract liabilities are classified as current on our consolidated balance sheets since the revenue recognition associated to the related customer payments and invoicing is expected to occur within the next 12 months.

Our contracts with customers do not include any major financing components.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

ASC 606 requires the capitalization of all incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer to the extent that such costs are directly related to a contract and expected to be recoverable. Our sales commissions and related sales incentives are considered incremental costs requiring capitalization. Capitalized contract costs are amortized to expense utilizing a method that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer. The amortization period ranges from less than one year up to eight years, based on the period over which the related goods and services are transferred, including consideration of the expected customer renewals and the related useful lives of the products.

Capitalized commissions costs were $15,753 as of December 31, 2018, of which $3,770 is current and included as prepaid expenses and other current assets and $11,983 is long-term and included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets, based on the expected timing of expense recognition. During the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2018, we recognized $1,414 and $4,278, respectively, of commissions expense primarily related to the amortization of capitalized commissions costs, which is included as a selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

3. Fair Value Measurements

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 December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018:

	Balance At		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Unobservable Inputs
	December 31, 2018		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
ASSETS
Cash and cash equivalents ⁽¹⁾	$	30,054	$	30,054	$	—	$	—
Restricted cash and cash equivalents		7,389		7,389		—		—
	$	37,443	$	37,443	$	—	$	—

	Balance At		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Unobservable Inputs
	March 31, 2018		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
ASSETS
Cash and cash equivalents ⁽¹⁾	$	28,845	$	28,845	$	—	$	—
Restricted cash and cash equivalents		2,373		2,373		—		—
	$	31,218	$	31,218	$	—	$	—

⁽¹⁾	Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds.

We believe that the fair value of other financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and line of credit, approximate their respective carrying values due to their nominal credit risk.

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 to be within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used.

4. Business Combinations

On January 31, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Inforth Technologies, LLC ("Inforth") pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated January 31, 2018. Headquartered in Traverse City, MI, Inforth was one of our premier clinical content and technical services partners specializing in comprehensive solutions for physician practices. The purchase price of Inforth totaled $4,337 and was funded by cash flows from operations. The purchase price allocation of the Inforth acquisition is considered final.

On August 16, 2017, we completed the acquisition of EagleDream Health, Inc. ("EagleDream") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement"), dated July 31, 2017. Headquartered in Rochester, NY, EagleDream is a cloud-based analytics company that drives meaningful insight across clinical, financial and administrative data to optimize practice performance. The purchase price totaled $25,609, which included certain working capital and other customary adjustments. The acquisition was partially funded by a draw against our revolving credit agreement (see Note 8). The purchase price allocation of the EagleDream acquisition is considered final.

On April 14, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Entrada, Inc. ("Entrada") pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 11, 2017 (the "Agreement"). Based in Nashville, TN, Entrada is a leading provider of cloud-based solutions that are reshaping the way care is delivered by leveraging the power of mobile whenever and wherever care happens. Entrada’s best-in-class mobile application integrates with multiple clinical platforms and all major electronic health record systems. Entrada enables organizations to maximize their existing technology investments while simultaneously enhancing physician and staff productivity. The acquisition of Entrada and its cloud-based, mobile application is part of our commitment to deliver systematic solutions that meet its clients' transforming work requirements to become increasingly nimble and mobile. The purchase price totaled $33,958, which included working capital and other customary adjustments. The acquisition was primarily funded by a draw against our revolving credit agreement (see Note 8). The purchase price allocation of the Entrada acquisition is considered final.

We accounted for the acquisitions noted above as purchase business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the 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 Inforth is considered deductible for tax purposes, and goodwill arising from the acquisitions of EagleDream and Entrada are not deductible for tax purposes.

The final purchase price for the acquisitions of Inforth, EagleDream and Entrada are summarized as follows:


	Inforth			EagleDream			Entrada
	Purchase Price			Purchase Price			Purchase Price
Initial purchase price	$	4,000		$	26,000		$	34,000
Settlement of pre-existing net liabilities		337			—			—

Total identifiable intangible assets acquired		4,377			27,828			32,668
Total purchase price	$	4,337		$	25,609		$	33,958

We recorded $3,200 of Inforth intangible assets related to software technology, which is being amortized over 5 years. We recorded $13,400 of EagleDream intangible assets related to customer relationships and software technology, which are being amortized over 8 years and 5 years, respectively. The weighted average amortization period for the acquired EagleDream intangible assets is 5.1 years. We recorded $15,400 of Entrada intangible assets related to customer relationships, trade names, and software technology, which are being amortized over 10 years, 5 years, and 5 years, respectively. The weighted average amortization period for the acquired Entrada intangible assets is 6.1 years.

The revenues, earnings, and pro forma effects of the Inforth, EagleDream, and Entrada acquisitions would not have been material to our results of operations, individually and in aggregate, and are therefore not presented.

5. 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. We have not identified any events or circumstances as of December 31, 2018 that would require an interim goodwill impairment test.

We do not amortize goodwill as it has been determined to have an indefinite useful life. The carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2018 was $218,771, which reflects the acquisitions of Entrada, EagleDream and Inforth (see Note 4). The carrying amount of goodwill as of March 31, 2018 was $218,875.

6. Intangible Assets

8. Line of Credit

On March 29, 2018, we entered into a $300,000 amended and restated 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 agents and lenders. The Credit Agreement replaces our prior $250,000 revolving credit agreement originally entered into on January 4, 2016 (“Original Credit Agreement”). 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 and also includes a $100,000 accordion feature that provides us with the ability to obtain up to $400,000 in the aggregate of revolving credit commitments and/or term loans upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Credit Agreement matures on March 29, 2023 and the full balance of the revolving loans and all other obligations under the agreement must be paid at that time. In addition, we are required to prepay the revolving loan balance if at any time the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement exceeds the aggregate commitments thereunder. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our existing and future property. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement will be available for letters of credit, permitted acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $27,000 in outstanding loans and $273,000 of unused credit under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2018, we had $37,000 in outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement.

Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement was $516 and $463 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was $177 and $269 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement was $1,657 and $1,390 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was $532 and $807 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

10. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $456 and $1,487, respectively. The effective tax rates were 8.6% and 49.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to the reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, enacted by new tax reform legislation, as described further below. The decrease in the effective tax rate was also due to an increased benefit from research and development credits and increased net benefits from discrete items and SAB 118 tax reform adjustments, partially offset by the elimination of the domestic manufacturer deduction, effective April 1, 2018.

The provision for income taxes in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2,794 and $6,134, respectively. The effective tax rates were 12.0% and 31.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and other changes enacted by new tax reform legislation, including an increased net benefit from discrete items and SAB 118 tax reform adjustments, partially offset by the elimination of the domestic manufacturer deduction, effective April 1, 2018.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented 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 liabilities of $2,690 and $2,419 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal, state and local income tax matters as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. If recognized, this amount would reduce our effective tax rate.

We are no longer subject to United States federal income tax examinations for tax years before fiscal year ended 2014. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state or local income tax examinations for tax years before fiscal year ended 2014. We do not anticipate the total unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.

United States Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law H.R. 1 (the “Tax Reform”). This new tax legislation, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United States tax law, including various provisions, such as

•

Establishes a flat corporate income tax rate of 21% on United States earnings

•

Imposes a one-time tax on unremitted cumulative non- United States earnings of foreign subsidiaries (“Transition Tax”)

•

Imposes a new minimum tax on certain non- United States earnings, irrespective of the territorial system of taxation, and generally allows for the repatriation of future earnings of foreign subsidiaries without incurring additional United States taxes by transitioning to a territorial system of taxation (Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income or “GILTI Tax”)

•

Subjects certain payments made by a United States company to a related foreign company to certain minimum taxes and related US deduction of foreign activities (Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax, or “BEAT” and Foreign Derived Intangible Income Deduction or “FDII”)

•

Eliminates certain prior tax incentives for manufacturing in the United States and creates an incentive for United States companies to sell, lease or license goods and services abroad by allowing for a reduction in taxes owed on earnings related to such sales

•

Allows the cost of investments in certain depreciable assets acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 to be immediately expensed

•

Reduces deductions with respect to certain compensation paid to specified executive officers

We are subject to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates be recognized in the period the tax rate change was enacted. The Tax Reform reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and thus we have revised our estimated annual effective tax rate to reflect the change in the federal statutory rate of 21%. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we filed our tax returns for the period ended March 31, 2018 and have completed our review of the primary impact of the Tax Reform provisions on our deferred taxes. We consider the accounting for the effects of the rate change on our deferred tax balances to be complete and a reduction of $231 in tax measurement period changes was recorded in the current period.

The Tax Reform also required a one-time Transition Tax based on total post-1986 foreign cumulative earnings and profits previously deferred from United States federal taxation, which was reasonably estimated and recorded as a one-time income tax expense of $1,381 at March 31, 2018. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we completed our accounting analysis of the cumulative foreign earnings and transitional tax liability under the Tax Reform. The three months ended December 31, 2018 included a net reduction of $793 to the provisional transition tax amounts previously reported under SAB 118. The net reduction of Transition Tax was due primarily to the utilization of additional foreign tax credits. We filed our corporate tax returns during the quarter and utilized available net operating losses to fully offset the Transition Tax.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Reform, SAB 118 allowed us to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended March 31, 2018 and nine months ended December 31, 2018. SAB 118 provides that where reasonable estimates can be made, the provisional accounting should be based on such estimates and when no reasonable estimate can be made, the provisional accounting may be based on the tax law in effect before the Tax Reform. SAB 118 allowed a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date to identify Tax Reform impacts. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we completed our analysis of the Tax Reform on our consolidated financial statements and recorded a net tax benefit in the December 31, 2018 tax provision. Additionally, our United States tax returns for the period ended March 31, 2018 were filed in December 2018 and any changes to the tax positions for temporary differences compared to the estimates used resulted in an adjustment of the estimated tax expense recorded as of March 31, 2018. As a result, our accounting for the final income tax effects of the Tax Reform has been finalized and the measurement period under SAB 118 ended during the three months ended December 31, 2018. Despite the completion of our accounting for the Tax Reform under SAB 118, many aspects of the law remain unclear and we expect ongoing guidance to be issued at both the federal and state levels. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of any new developments.

The Tax Reform also includes a GILTI Tax, requiring inclusion of certain non-United States earnings effective April 1, 2018. The GILTI inclusion has been estimated and included in the effective tax rate used for the tax provision recorded at December 31, 2018. There are substantial uncertainties in the interpretations of GILTI and other related new tax reform, BEAT and FDII, we will continue to evaluate the impact of the GILTI provisions under the Tax Reform which are complex and subject to continuing regulatory interpretation by the United States Internal Revenue Service. We are required to make an accounting policy election of either (1) treating taxes due on future United States inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred or (2) factoring such amounts into our measurement of deferred taxes. We made an accounting policy election to account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which we are subject and therefore will not provide any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in our consolidated financial statements. We have concluded on the policy of tax law ordering for reflecting the realization of the net operating losses related to GILTI as a permanent adjustment. The BEAT provisions eliminate the deduction of certain base-erosion payments made to related foreign corporations and impose a minimum tax if greater than regular tax. We presently do not expect to be subject to the minimum tax imposed by the BEAT provisions.

The Tax Reform legislation includes various other provisions with effective dates beginning April 1, 2018 and beyond. For other changes that impact business related income, exclusions, deductions and credits with effective dates for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018, we will continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740 and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform.

11. Earnings per Share

The dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share is provided below. Share amounts below are in thousands.

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Earnings per share — Basic:
Net income	$	4,824	$	1,541	$	20,566	$	13,467
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Basic		64,637		63,706		64,308		63,287
Net income per common share — Basic	$	0.07	$	0.02	$	0.32	$	0.21

Earnings per share — Diluted:
Net income	$	4,824	$	1,541	$	20,566	$	13,467
Weighted-average shares outstanding		64,637		63,706		64,308		63,287
Effect of potentially dilutive securities		139		2		191		9
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Diluted		64,776		63,708		64,499		63,296
Net income per common share — Diluted	$	0.07	$	0.02	$	0.32	$	0.21

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 2,532 and 3,228 options to acquire shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 1,913 and 2,785 options to acquire shares of common stock for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

12. 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 ("Board") 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 December 31, 2018, there were 360,820 outstanding options 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. In August 2017, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, (the “Amended 2015 Plan”), to, among other items, increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 6,000,000. The Amended 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 Amended 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 Amended 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 Amended 2015 Plan, awards under the Amended 2015 Plan will fully vest under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2018, there were 3,210,955 outstanding options, 1,871,428 outstanding shares of restricted stock awards, 55,415 outstanding shares of performance stock awards, and 6,590,965 shares available for future grant under the Amended 2015 Plan.

The following table summarizes the stock option transactions during the nine months ended December 31, 2018:

				Weighted-		Weighted-

Exercisable, December 31, 2018		1,377,170		$	16.22		5.0	$	1,349

We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of share-based compensation with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended December 31,		Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018	2017	2018	2017
Expected term	6.1 years	5.6 - 6.1 years	6.1 - 6.3 years	5.6 - 6.1 years
Expected volatility	34.6%	37.0% - 37.5%	34.6% - 36.8%	37.0% - 37.7%
Expected dividends	-%	-%	-%	-%
Risk-free rate	3.1%	2.1% - 2.2%	2.8% - 3.1%	1.9% - 2.2%

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $7.18 and $5.59 per share, respectively.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, a total of 326,130 options to purchase shares of common stock were granted under the Amended 2015 Plan at an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, as summarized below:

Option Grant Date	Number of Shares		Exercise Price		Vesting Terms⁽¹⁾	Expiration
May 30, 2018		241,130	$	16.83	Four Years	June 1, 2026
August 3, 2018		60,000	$	21.27	Four Years	August 3, 2026
November 2, 2018		25,000	$	15.09	Four Years	November 2, 2026
Fiscal year 2019 grants		326,130

⁽¹⁾	Options vest in equal annual installments on each grant anniversary date commencing one year following the date of grant.

Non-vested stock option award activity during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 is summarized as follows:

				Weighted-
				Average
				Grant-Date
Non-Vested Stock Option Award Summary	Number of			Fair Value
	Shares			per Share
Outstanding, April 1, 2018		2,657,005		$	5.18

Forfeited/Canceled		(138,380	)		5.61
Outstanding, December 31, 2018		2,194,605		$	5.46

As of December 31, 2018, $9,928 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 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 nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $3,335 and $2,154, respectively.

Restricted stock awards activity during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 is summarized as follows:

				Weighted-
				Average
				Grant-Date
Restricted Stock	Number of			Fair Value
	Shares			per Share
Outstanding, April 1, 2018		1,820,910		$	14.52
Granted		859,345			18.15
Vested		(516,505	)		14.85
Canceled		(292,322	)		14.66
Outstanding, December 31, 2018		1,871,428		$	16.07

Share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $3,168 and $2,333 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $7,921 and $6,079 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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, which is generally between one to three years.

As of December 31, 2018, $23,305 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. This amount does not include the cost of new restricted stock awards that may be granted in future periods.

On December 29, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board granted 123,082 performance stock awards to certain executive officers, of which 55,415 shares are currently outstanding. The performance stock awards vest in four equal increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject in each case to the executive officer’s continued service and achievement of certain Company performance goals, including strong Company stock price performance. Share-based compensation expense related to the performance stock awards was $74 and $215 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

On October 23, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved 248,140 performance stock unit awards to be granted to certain executives and non-executive members of the executive leadership team, which vest only in the event certain performance goals are achieved and with continuous service through the date the goals are certified. Approximately 34% of the performance stock units are tied to our cumulative 3-year total shareholder return, 33% are tied to our fiscal year 2021 revenue, and 33% are tied to our fiscal year 2021 adjusted earnings per share goals, each as specifically defined in the equity award agreements. The number of shares to be issued may vary between 50% and 200% of the number of performance stock units depending on performance, and no such shares will be issued if threshold performance is not achieved. Share-based compensation expense related to the performance stock unit awards was $230 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

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 December 31, 2018, we have issued 436,015 shares under the Purchase Plan and 3,563,985 shares are available for future issuance.

Share-based compensation expense recorded for the employee share purchase plan was $123 and $88 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the employee share purchase plan was $355 and $265 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

13. Concentration of Credit Risk

We had cash deposits at United States banks and financial institutions which exceeded federally insured limits at December 31, 2018. 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.

14. 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.

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 Hussein, alleging that he breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company, Mr. Razin and Mr. Plochocki. Mr. Razin and Mr. Plochocki have dismissed their claims against Hussein, leaving QSI as the sole plaintiff in the cross-complaint. On June 26, 2015, we filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to Hussein’s claims, which the Court granted on September 16, 2015, dismissing all of Hussein’s claims against us. On September 23, 2015, Hussein filed an application for reconsideration of the Court's summary judgment order, which the Court denied. Hussein filed a renewed application for reconsideration of the Court’s summary judgment order on August 3, 2017. The Court again denied Hussein’s application. On October 28, 2015, May 9, 2016, and August 5, 2016, Hussein filed a motion for summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, and motion for judgment on the pleadings, respectively, seeking to dismiss our cross-complaint. The Court denied each motion. Trial on our cross-complaint began June 12, 2017. On July 26, 2017, the Court issued a statement of decision granting Hussein’s motion for judgment on our cross-complaint. Final judgment over Hussein’s claims and our cross-claims was entered on January 9, 2018. Hussein has noticed his appeal of the order granting summary judgment over his claims, and we noticed a cross-appeal on the court’s statement of decision granting Hussein’s motion for judgment on our cross-complaint. Briefing on the cross-appeals was completed in fall 2018 and hearings on the cross-appeals will be held in spring 2019. 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. 8:13-cv-01818-CJC-JPR, 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. On July 28, 2017, the Ninth Circuit issued a decision reversing and remanding the District Court's order on our motion to dismiss. On September 5, 2017, we filed a petition for rehearing en banc, which was denied on September 29, 2017. On January 26, 2018, we filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court ordered the plaintiffs to file a response to the petition, which they filed on March 22, 2018.

On May 10, 2018, the parties reached an agreement-in-principle to resolve the action for $19,000, and on May 11, 2018, the parties requested that the Supreme Court stay any decision regarding whether to hear the Company’s petition for a writ of certiorari, pending the parties’ ongoing settlement negotiations. On July 16, 2018, the parties signed a definitive settlement agreement resolving this matter and submitted it to the Court for approval. On July 30, 2018, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and granted final approval on November 19, 2018. The matter is now concluded. Under the terms of this agreement, the settlement was partially funded by certain of the Company’s insurance carriers, and defendants continued to deny any liability or wrongdoing.

The settlement does not resolve the Hussein Litigation or the Shareholder Derivative Litigation.

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 purported 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 matter was stayed pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision in the appeal described above under the caption, “Federal Securities Class Action.” This stay now has been lifted and Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on February 2, 2018. On July 25, 2018, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The time within which Foss could appeal the dismissal has expired so this matter is now concluded. On September 28, 2017, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Kusumam Koshy, derivatively on behalf of Quality Systems Inc. vs. Craig Barbarosh, George H. Bristol, James C. Malone, Peter M. Neupert, Morris Panner, D. Russell Pflueger, Steven T. Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance E. Rosenzweig, Paul A. Holt, and Quality Systems, Inc., No. 8:17-cv-01694, by Kusumam Koshy, a purported shareholder of ours. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duties and abuse of control, as well as unjust enrichment and insider selling by individual directors arising out of the allegations described above under the captions “Hussein Litigation” and “Federal Securities Class Action,” QSI’s adoption of revised indemnification agreements, and the resignation of certain officers of the Company. The complaint seeks restitution and disgorgement, court costs and attorneys’ fees, and enhanced corporate governance reforms and internal control procedures. On January 12, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the derivative complaint. On July 25, 2018, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. On August 24, 2018, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We believe that the plaintiff’s appeal is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.

Other Regulatory Matters

In April 2017, we received a request for documents and information from the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont pursuant to a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”). The CID relates to an investigation concerning the certification we obtained for our software under the United States Department of Health and Human Services' Electronic Health Record Incentive Program. We have provided documents and information in response to that CID. On December 11, 2017, we received a subpoena from the United States Department of Justice in connection with the same matter seeking among other things records relating to (a) data used to determine objectives and measures under the Meaningful Use (MU) and the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) programs, (b) EHR software code used in certifying the 2014 EHR software and information, and (c) payments provided for the referral of EHR business. We continue to respond to this CID and subpoena and intend to cooperate fully with the government, including responding to any future requests. Requests and investigations of this nature may lead to future requests for information and ultimately the assertion of claims or the commencement of legal proceedings against us, as well as other material liabilities. In addition, our responses to these and any future requests require time and effort, which can result in additional cost to us. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this matter. Given the highly-regulated nature of our industry, we may, from time to time, be subject to subpoenas, requests for information, or investigations from various government agencies. It is our practice to respond to such matters in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner.

Company Overview

On September 6, 2018, Quality Systems, Inc. changed its corporate name to NextGen Healthcare, Inc.

NextGen Healthcare, Inc. provides a range of software, services, and analytics solutions to medical and dental group practices. The company's portfolio delivers foundational capabilities to empower physician success, enrich the patient care experience, and enable the transition to value-based healthcare.

Our clients span the ambulatory care market from large multi-specialty to small single specialty practices and include network of practices such as physician hospital organizations (“PHOs”), management service organizations (“MSOs”), independent physician associations (“IPAs”), accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), ambulatory care centers (“ACCs”), and community health centers(“CHCs”).

At the core of our offerings are industry leading electronic health record (“EHR”) and practice management (“PM”) solutions that support the foundational clinical and financial activities of any ambulatory practice. We strive to enable our clients’ ability to maintain control of their organizational identity and destiny, rather than dictating a technology-driven road map. To meet our clients’ unique, evolving needs, we continue to expand and enrich our core offerings to create a comprehensive platform essential to our client’s success in the new value-based environment. Our platform includes one of the industry’s most recognized suites of vendor-agnostic cloud-based interoperability tools as well as our recently acquired, cloud-based Population Health Management and Analytics platform which allows our clients to cost effectively manage populations of patients – improving outcomes and enhancing the quality of care rendered. Our mobile solution significantly enhances, automates and streamlines physician workflows reducing physician burnout and resulting physician attrition.

We have a history of enhancing our solutions through organic and inorganic activities. Over the last few years, we have entered into strategic transactions to complement and enhance our ambulatory market product portfolio. In October 2015, we divested our former Hospital Solutions division to focus exclusively on the ambulatory market place. In January 2016, we acquired HealthFusion Holdings, Inc. ("HealthFusion"), and its cloud-based EHR/PM. In April 2017, we acquired Entrada, Inc. ("Entrada"), a cloud-based, mobile platform for clinical documentation and collaboration. In August 2017, we acquired EagleDream Health, Inc. (“EagleDream”) and its cloud-based population health analytics, and in January 2018, we acquired Inforth Technologies (“Inforth”) for its specialty-focused clinical content.

NextGen Healthcare, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1974. Our principal offices are located at 18111 Von Karman Ave., Suite 800, Irvine, California, 92612. Our website is located at www.nextgen.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.

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 healthcare 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 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 NextGen® Office platform to allow us to deliver our software over the cloud to larger ambulatory care practices.

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.

Our Strategy

We strive to be the trusted partner for clients of all sizes, integrating services and software into a consolidated solution that enables an efficient and effective caregiver and patient experience while driving positive financial outcomes. 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 through an evolving healthcare marketplace that is transitioning from fee-for-service to fee-for-value 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 former 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 client segment. 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. At the same time, we intend to expand the capability of the highly scalable, pure cloud-based and mobile-enabled NextGen® Office platform.

•

Platform as a service. With the introduction of our API 2.0 framework and our continued leverage of the Mirth interoperability platform, we will continue our evolution to plug and play extensibility and information sharing that allows our customers to innovate and deploy high-fidelity extensions to our core applications without the costs, risks (security, performance, etc.) or complexity commonly associated with direct binding. We have also introduced platform-enabled automation capabilities to empower our clients to drive cost out of their processes while supporting their needs to implement the highly personalized workflows that are required to support value based care. Our acquisition of Entrada and its cloud-based, mobile application in April 2017 demonstrates our commitment to innovation that becomes essential for practitioners by improving their clinical productivity with documentation support services that seamlessly integrate into their electronic health record. We believe there is significant opportunity to extend the solutions we offer existing and new clients through value-added services such as RCM and EDI.

•

Population health software and services. We are migrating into applications, analytics and services that will enable our clients to proactively manage the health of patient populations. We are establishing strong development partnerships with our most innovative customers who are actively participating in shared-risk contracts, and working together with them to create progressive population health capabilities. We support extraordinary information sharing capabilities vital to managing patient populations through our interoperability offerings.

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 1, “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.

We adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) and all related amendments as of April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to Note 2, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information regarding our revenue recognition policies under ASC 606.

There have been no other material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting policies and estimates since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Revenues

The following table presents our disaggregated revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Recurring revenues:
Subscription services	$	30,035	$	26,596	$	87,618	$	78,959
Support and maintenance		39,714		40,362		120,556		123,171
Managed services		24,251		28,903		74,048		86,040
Electronic data interchange and data services		23,446		23,136		71,548		69,446
Total recurring revenues		117,446		118,997		353,770		357,616

Software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues:
Software license and hardware		9,217		7,759		26,013		24,032
Other non-recurring services		4,204		4,959		14,605		13,596
Total software, hardware and other non-recurring revenues		13,421		12,718		40,618		37,628

Total revenues	$	130,867	$	131,715	$	394,388	$	395,244

We generate revenue from sales of licensing rights and subscriptions to our software solutions, hardware and third-party software products, support and maintenance, managed services (formerly referred to as revenue cycle management and related services), electronic data interchange and data services (“EDI”), and other non-recurring services, including implementation, training, and consulting services performed for clients who use our products.

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 decreased $0.8 million compared to the prior year due to a $1.5 million decrease in recurring revenues and a $0.7 million increase in software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues. Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 also decreased $0.8 million compared to the prior year due to a $3.8 million decrease in recurring revenues, offset by a $3.0 million increase in software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenues. The decrease in recurring revenues for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 was due to lower managed services revenue and lower support and maintenance revenue, partially offset by higher subscriptions and higher EDI services revenue. The decrease in managed services and corresponding increase in subscription services is primarily associated with the adoption of ASC 606, whereby a portion of service fees associated with revenue cycle management (“RCM”) arrangements are now classified as subscription services revenue. Subscription services also benefited from higher sales of our NextGen Office cloud-based subscriptions and NextGen Mobile subscriptions and incremental sales of NextGen Population Health cloud-based solutions acquired from EagleDream in August 2017. Support and maintenance revenue decreased primarily due to higher client attrition. EDI revenue increased due to higher EDI services sold with our NextGen Office cloud-based solutions and growth in EDI transaction volume due to the addition of new clients and further penetration of our existing client base. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenue increased primarily due to higher software sales. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, software, hardware, and other non-recurring revenue increased primarily due to higher software sales, which is based on the demand of our clients. A portion of our RCM service fees are now also allocated as software license and support and maintenance revenue subsequent to the adoption of ASC 606.

Recurring revenue represented 90% and 90% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, recurring revenue represented 90% and 91%, respectively, of total revenue.

Our goals 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. We continue to expand our client base and cloud-based solution capabilities in the ambulatory market to meet the needs of practices of increasing size and complexity, and focus our strategy on accountable care organizations around interoperability, patient engagements, population health and collaborative care management, and enterprise analytics. Our software and service offerings offer clients a full suite of cloud-based solutions that better enable our clients to focus on care delivery. 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. We also believe that a significant opportunity exists to continue cross-selling managed services to our existing clients as the portion of existing clients who are using managed services is approximately 10%. We are actively pursuing efforts to achieve faster growth from expanded efforts to leverage our existing sales force towards selling managed 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.

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. We believe that our operating results are attributed to a strong brand name and reputation within the marketplace for healthcare information technology software and services, as well as investments in sales and marketing activities, including new marketing campaigns, Internet advertising investments, tradeshow attendance and other expanded advertising and marketing expenditures.

Gross profit		69,196			70,081			209,748			215,686
Gross margin %		52.9	%		53.2	%		53.2	%		54.6	%

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 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, "Intangible Assets" and Note 7, "Capitalized Software Costs" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on current period amortization of capitalized software costs and acquired technology and an estimate of future expected amortization.

Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and is included in the amounts in the table above. Share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was $0.9 and $0.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and is included in the amounts in the table above.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 decreased $0.9 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the $0.8 million decrease in revenues as discussed above. Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 decreased $5.9 million compared to the prior year period due to a $5.1 million increase in cost of revenue and a $0.8 million decrease in revenues. The increase in cost of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by $4.8 million higher amortization of previously capitalized software development costs and higher amortization of the software technology intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of EagleDream Health in August 2017 and Inforth Technologies in January 2018. Gross margin remained flat at 53% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017. Gross margin decreased to 53% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to 55% for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 due to the higher amortization costs noted above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

The following table presents our consolidated selling, general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Selling, general and administrative	$	41,304		$	43,563		$	120,169		$	127,517
Selling, general and administrative, as a percentage of revenue		31.6	%		33.1	%		30.5	%		32.3	%

Selling, general and administrative expense consists of compensation expense, including share-based compensation, for management and administrative personnel, selling and marketing expense, facilities costs, depreciation, professional service fees, including legal, consulting, 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 $3.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in the amounts in the table above. Share-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $8.8 million and $6.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in the amounts in the table above. The increase in share-based compensation for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same prior year periods is due to increased utilization of share-based awards to incentivize our executives and employees. Refer to Note 12, "Share-Based Awards" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information of our share-based awards and related incentive plans.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.3 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to lower commissions and related benefits expense as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 (refer to Note 2, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for additional information), lower legal fees related to our securities litigation, and higher consulting costs that were incurred in the prior year associated with our adoption of ASC 606. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 due to a $5.7 million net benefit recorded in the prior quarter from insurance recoveries related to the settlement of the Federal Securities Class Action complaint (refer to Note 14, " Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information), lower bad debt expense as we continue to resolve aged accounts receivable balances, and higher consulting costs incurred in the prior year associated with our adoption of ASC 606.

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 and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Gross expenditures	$	25,156		$	24,668		$	76,034		$	73,808
Capitalized software costs		(4,474	)		(4,023	)		(14,853	)		(13,647	)
Research and development costs, net	$	20,682		$	20,645		$	61,181		$	60,161

Research and development costs, as a percentage of revenue		15.8	%		15.7	%		15.5	%		15.2	%
Capitalized software costs as a percentage of gross expenditures		17.8	%		16.3	%		19.5	%		18.5	%

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 being expensed up front and the amount of net research and development costs reported in our consolidated statement of net income and comprehensive income.

Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in the amounts in the table above. Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in the amounts in the table above.

Net research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2018 remained flat compared to the prior year period because the $0.5 million increase in gross expenditures was offset by $0.5 million higher capitalization of software costs. The increase in gross expenditures was primarily due to increased hosting fees, partially offset by decreased consulting and outside services associated with the completion of several projects in the prior year period. Net research and development costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 increased $1.0 million compared to the prior year period, which was due to a $2.2 million increase in gross expenditures, partially offset by $1.2 million higher capitalization of software costs. The increase in gross expenditures was primarily due to increased hosting fees and higher utilization of our Bangalore development center resources, and higher stock-based compensation expense, as noted above, partially offset by decreases in consulting and outside services associated with the completion of several projects in the prior year period. Our software capitalization rate fluctuates due to differences in the nature and status of our projects and initiatives during a given year, which affects the amount of development costs that may be capitalized.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

The following table presents our amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Amortization of acquired intangible assets	$	1,027	$	1,956	$	3,316	$	6,015

Amortization of acquired intangible assets included in operating expense consist of the amortization related to our customer relationships, trade names, and contracts intangible assets acquired as part of our business combinations. Refer to Note 6, "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 and nine months ended December 31, 2018 decreased $0.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively compared to the prior year periods due to certain acquired intangible assets being fully amortized in the prior fiscal year and the impairment of our acquired trade names intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Restructuring Costs

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded $0.1 million of restructuring costs related to adjustments of our estimated remaining lease obligations for vacated properties.

Interest and Other Income and Expense

The following table presents our interest expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Interest income	$	44		$	15		$	113		$	36
Interest expense		(720	)		(733	)		(2,219	)		(2,250	)
Other income (expense), net		(227	)		(41	)		384			(48	)

Interest expense relates to our revolving credit agreement and the related amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. Refer to Note 8, “Line of Credit” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

The changes in interest expense is primarily caused by fluctuations in outstanding balances under our revolving credit agreement and the related amortization of debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2018, we had $27.0 million in outstanding balances under the revolving credit agreement, compared to an outstanding balance of $37.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and $39.0 million as of December 31, 2017. The fluctuations of other income and expense compared to the prior year periods are primarily due to changes to the India foreign exchange rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

The following table presents our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Provision for income taxes	$	456		$	1,487		$	2,794		$	6,134
Effective tax rate		8.6	%		49.1	%		12.0	%		31.3	%

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, enacted by tax reform legislation. The decrease in the effective tax rate was also due to an increased benefit from the research and development credit and increased net benefits from discrete items and SAB 118 tax reform adjustments, partially offset by the elimination of the qualified domestic manufacturer deduction, effective April 1, 2018.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we completed our assessment of the impact of the new tax reform legislation, which was enacted December 22, 2017, on our consolidated financial statements and will continue to assess the impact on our future taxes. We have recorded all adjustments to the provisional impacts of the new tax reform legislation as of December 31, 2018. As a result, we consider the accounting for the effects of the impacts of tax reform to be complete and all adjustments to the provisional estimates have been finalized and recorded in the current period. Our estimated impacts of the new tax reform legislation are based on our current knowledge, interpretation, and assumptions, and the recognized impacts and found no material measurement period changes. We will continue to monitor the issuance of further guidance, and new tax reform legislation on future taxes. Refer to Note 10, "Income Taxes" of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for more information.

Net Income

The following table presents our net income (in thousands) and net income per share and for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Net income	$	4,824	$	1,541	$	20,566	$	13,467
Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.07	$	0.02	$	0.32	$	0.21
Diluted	$	0.07	$	0.02	$	0.32	$	0.21

As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and expense, net income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased $3.3 million compared to the prior year period.

As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and expense, net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 increased $7.1 million compared to the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents selected financial statistics and information for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018		2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	30,054	$	23,359
Unused portion of revolving credit agreement ⁽¹⁾		273,000		211,000
Total liquidity	$	303,054	$	234,359

Net income	$	20,566	$	13,467
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	33,279	$	55,252

⁽¹⁾	As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding loans of $27.0 million under our $300.0 million revolving credit agreement.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash generated from operations, driven mostly by our net income and working capital management, our cash and cash equivalents, and our revolving credit agreement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents balance of $30.1 million reflects a $1.2 million increase compared to $28.8 million as of March 31, 2018. Our outstanding loans under our revolving credit agreement was $27.0 million as of December 31, 2018.

We may continue to use a portion of our funds as well as available financing from our revolving 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. 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. Excess cash, if any, may be invested 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 on hand at December 31, 2018, together with our cash flows from operations and liquidity provided by our revolving credit agreement, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2018			2017
Net income	$	20,566		$	13,467
Non-cash expenses		46,736			47,895
Cash from net income, as adjusted	$	67,302		$	61,362
Change in contract assets and liabilities, net		(6,516	)		(709	)
Change in accounts receivable		242			960
Change in other assets and liabilities		(27,749	)		(6,361	)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	33,279		$	55,252

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, cash provided by operating activities decreased $22.0 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in cash from changes in other assets and liabilities and changes in net contract assets and liabilities, partially offset by higher net income in the current year period. The decrease in cash from changes in other assets and liabilities was mostly related to the payment, net of insurance recoveries, of the $19.0 million Federal Securities Class Action complaint last quarter, lower accruals for related securities litigation legal costs, and higher accruals in the prior year period for consulting costs associated with our adoption of ASC 606. Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 increased $7.1 million compared to the prior year period, as described in the "Net Income" section above.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was $19.0 million compared with $80.1 million of cash used in investing activities in the prior year period. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to $58.9 million of cash paid (net of acquired) for the acquisitions of Entrada and EagleDream in the prior year period as well as lower additions to equipment and improvements, partially offset by higher additions to capitalized software costs as we continue to invest in new product development and enhancement to our existing products.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was $8.1 million compared with $9.1 million cash provided by financing activities in the prior year period. The cash used in financing activities relates to $10.0 million of net repayments on our revolving credit agreement, including $26.0 million of additional borrowings and $36.0 million of principal repayments, compared to the prior year period net borrowings of $24.0 million on our line of credit, which was partially offset by $18.8 million in payment of contingent consideration in the prior year period related to the acquisition of HealthFusion.

Contractual Obligations

We have minimum purchase commitments of $33.6 million related to payments due under certain non-cancelable agreements to purchase goods and services.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2018 and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods (in thousands):

			For the year ended March 31,
Contractual Obligations	Total		2019 (remaining three months)		2020		2021		2022		2023		2024 and beyond
Operating lease obligations	$	55,130	$	2,335	$	9,508	$	9,672	$	9,391	$	9,079	$	15,145
Remaining lease obligations for vacated properties⁽¹⁾		3,611		222		897		921		659		467		445
Line of credit obligations (Note 8)		27,000		—		—		—		—		27,000		—
Total	$	85,741	$	2,557	$	10,405	$	10,593	$	10,050	$	36,546	$	15,590

⁽¹⁾

Remaining lease obligations for vacated properties relates to remaining lease obligations at certain locations, including Austin, Solana Beach, Costa Mesa, and a portion of Horsham and St. Louis, that we have vacated and are actively marketing the locations for sublease. Total obligations have not been reduced by projected sublease rentals or by minimum sublease rentals of $0.3 million due in future periods under non-cancelable subleases.

The deferred compensation liability as of December 31, 2018 was $5.6 million, which is not included in the table above as the timing of future benefit payments to employees is not determinable.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for a discussion of new accounting standards.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As of December 31, 2018, we were subject to minimal market risk on our cash and cash equivalents as we maintained our balances in very liquid funds with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $27.0 million in outstanding loans under our revolving credit agreement. The revolving borrowings under our revolving credit agreement bear interest at our option of either, (a) for base rate loans, a base rate based on the highest of (i) 0%, (ii) the rate of interest publicly announced by the administrative agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City, (iii) the overnight bank funding rate (not to be less than zero) as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.50% or (iv) the LIBOR-based rate for one, two, three or six months Eurodollar deposits plus 1%, and (b) for Eurodollar loans, the LIBOR-based rate for one, two, three or six months (as selected by us) Eurodollar deposits plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our total leverage ratio from time to time, ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans, and from 1.50% to 2.50% for Eurodollar loans. 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 December 31, 2018 would result in a corresponding change in our annual interest expense of approximately $0.3 million. Refer to Note 8, “Line of Credit” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

As of December 31, 2018, we had international operations that exposed us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States 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 December 31, 2018, 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 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 December 31, 2018, 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

Federal Securities Class Action

On May 10, 2018, the parties reached an agreement-in-principle to resolve the action for $19 million, and on May 11, 2018, the parties requested that the Supreme Court stay any decision regarding whether to hear the Company’s petition for a writ of certiorari, pending the parties’ ongoing settlement negotiations. On July 16, 2018, the parties signed a definitive settlement agreement resolving this matter and submitted it to the Court for approval. On July 30, 2018, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and granted final approval on November 19, 2018. The matter is now concluded. Under the terms of this agreement, the settlement was partially funded by certain of the Company’s insurance carriers, and defendants continued to deny any liability or wrongdoing.

The settlement does not resolve the Hussein Litigation or the Shareholder Derivative Litigation.

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 purported 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 matter was stayed pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision in the appeal described above under the caption, “Federal Securities Class Action.” This stay now has been lifted and, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on February 2, 2018. On July 25, 2018, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The time within which Foss could appeal the dismissal has expired so this matter is now concluded. On September 28, 2017, a complaint was filed against our Company and certain of our current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Kusumam Koshy, derivatively on behalf of Quality Systems Inc. vs. Craig Barbarosh, George H. Bristol, James C. Malone, Peter M. Neupert, Morris Panner, D. Russell Pflueger, Steven T. Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance E. Rosenzweig, Paul A. Holt, and Quality Systems, Inc., No. 8:17-cv-01694, by Kusumam Koshy, a purported shareholder of ours. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duties and abuse of control, as well as unjust enrichment and insider selling by individual directors arising out of the allegations described above under the captions “Hussein Litigation” and “Federal Securities Class Action,” QSI’s adoption of revised indemnification agreements, and the resignation of certain officers of the Company. The complaint seeks restitution and disgorgement, court costs and attorneys’ fees, and enhanced corporate governance reforms and internal control procedures. On January 12, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the derivative complaint. On July 25, 2018, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. On August 24, 2018, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We believe that the plaintiff’s appeal is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously. At this time, we are unable to estimate the probability or the amount of liability, if any, related to this claim.
