CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
( UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and therefore do not include all information and footnotes 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Amounts related to disclosures of March 31, 2007 balances within these interim consolidated financial statements were derived from the aforementioned Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.

References to dollar amounts in this financial statement section are in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise specified.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 98-9). The Company generates revenue from the sale of licensing rights to its software products directly to end-users and value-added resellers (VARs). The Company also generates revenue from sales of hardware and third party software, implementation, training, EDI, post-contract support (maintenance) and other services performed for customers who license its products.

A typical system contract contains multiple elements of the above items. SOP 98-9 requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements. The fair value of an element must be based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately (using a rolling average of stand alone transactions) or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly or annually depending on the nature of the product or service.

When evidence of fair value exists for the delivered and undelivered elements of a transaction, then discounts for individual elements are aggregated and the total discount is allocated to the individual elements in proportion to the elements’ fair value relative to the total contract fair value.

When evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements only, the residual method, provided for under SOP 98-9, is used. Under the residual method, the Company defers revenue related to the undelivered elements in a system sale based on VSOE of fair value of each of the undelivered elements, and allocates the remainder of the contract price net of all discounts to revenue recognized from the delivered elements. If VSOE of fair value of any undelivered element does not exist, all revenue is deferred until VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element is established or the element has been delivered.

The Company bills for the entire contract amount upon contract execution except for maintenance which is billed separately. Amounts billed in excess of the amounts contractually due are recorded in accounts receivable as advance billings. Amounts are contractually due when services are performed or in accordance with contractually specified payment dates. Provided the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable, revenue from licensing rights and sales of hardware and third party

software is generally recognized upon shipment and transfer of title. In certain transactions where collections risk is high, the cash basis method is used to recognize revenue. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, then the revenue recognized in each period (subject to application of other revenue recognition criteria) will be the lesser of the aggregate of amounts due and payable or the amount of the arrangement fee that would have been recognized if the fees were being recognized using the residual method. Fees which are considered fixed or determinable at the inception of the Company’s arrangements must include the following characteristics:

•	The fee must be negotiated at the outset of an arrangement, and generally be based on the specific volume of products to be delivered without being subject to change based on variable pricing mechanisms such as the number of units copied or distributed or the expected number of users.

•	Payment terms must not be considered extended. If a significant portion of the fee is due more than 12 months after delivery or after the expiration of the license, the fee is presumed not fixed and determinable.

Revenue from implementation and training services is recognized as the corresponding services are performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance period.

Contract accounting is applied where services include significant software modification, development or customization. In such instances, the arrangement fee is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position No. 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (SOP 81-1). Pursuant to SOP 81-1, the Company uses the percentage of completion method provided all of the following conditions exist:

•	the contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement;

•	the customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract;

•	the Company can be expected to perform its contractual obligations; and

•	reliable estimates of progress towards completion can be made.

The Company measures completion using labor input hours. Costs of providing services, including services accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1, are expensed as incurred.

If a situation occurs in which a contract is so short term that the financial statements would not vary materially from using the percentage-of-completion method or in which the Company is unable to make reliable estimates of progress of completion of the contract, the completed contract method is utilized.

Individual product returns are estimated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (SFAS 48). The Company also ensures that the other criteria in SFAS 48 have been met prior to recognition of revenue:

•	the price is fixed or determinable;

•	the customer is obligated to pay and there are no contingencies surrounding the obligation or the payment;

•	the customer’s obligation would not change in the event of theft or damage to the product;

•	the customer has economic substance;

•	the amount of returns can be reasonably estimated; and

•	the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance in order to bring about resale of the product by the customer.

The Company has historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If the Company is able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is recognized and these arrangements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire.

Revenue related to sales arrangements which include the right to use software stored on the Company’s hardware is accounted for under the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 00-3 “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to arrangements that include the

right to use software stored on another entity’s hardware”. EITF No. 00-3 requires that for software licenses and related implementation services to continue to fall under SOP No. 97-2, the customer must have the contractual right to take possession of the software without incurring a significant penalty and it must be feasible for the customer to either host the software themselves or through another third party. If an arrangement is not deemed to be accounted for under SOP 97-2, the entire arrangement is accounted for as a service contract in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-21 “Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables”. In that instance, the entire arrangement would be recognized as the hosting services are being performed.

From time to time, the Company offers future purchase discounts on its products and services as part of its sales arrangements. Pursuant to AICPA TPA 5100.50, such discounts which are incremental to the range of discounts reflected in the pricing of the other elements of the arrangement, which are incremental to the range of discounts typically given in comparable transactions, and which are significant, are treated as an additional element of the contract to be deferred. Amounts deferred related to future purchase options are not recognized until either the customer exercises the discount offer or the offer expires.

Revenue is divided into two categories, “system sales” and “maintenance, EDI and other services”. Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third party hardware and software, and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company’s software systems. The majority of the revenue in the system sales category is related to the sale of software. Revenue in the maintenance, EDI and other services category includes maintenance, EDI, follow on training and implementation services, annual third party license fees and other revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash and money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of less than 90 days. The money market fund in which the Company holds a portion of its cash invests in only investment grade money market instruments from a variety of industries, and therefore bears relatively low market risk. The average maturity of the investments owned by the money market fund is approximately two months.

Marketable securities. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had short-term investments in tax exempt Auction Rate Securities (ARS) of approximately $48.4 million. The ARS are rated AAA or AA by one or more national rating agencies and have contractual terms of up to 30 years, but generally have interest rate reset dates that occur every 7, 28 or 35 days and despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, management anticipates having the opportunity to liquidate these securities at ongoing auctions which are held in conjunction with the interest reset dates every 35 days or less. The investments in ARS are classified as available-for-sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investments are recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates, which typically resets every 7, 28 or 35 days. As a result, no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains/losses from the investments have been realized. All income generated from these investments is recorded as interest income.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides credit terms typically ranging from thirty days to less than twelve months for most system and maintenance contract sales and generally does not require collateral. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses. Reserves for potential credit losses are determined by establishing both specific and general reserves. Specific reserves are based on management’s estimate of the probability of collection for certain troubled accounts. General reserves are established based on the Company’s historical experience with bad debt expense and the aging of the Company’s accounts receivable balances net of deferred revenues and specifically reserved accounts. Accounts are written off as uncollectible only after the Company has expended extensive collection efforts.

Included in accounts receivable are amounts related to maintenance and services which were billed, but which had not yet been rendered as of the end of the period. Undelivered maintenance and services are included on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred revenue (see also Note 4).

Inventories. Inventories consist of hardware for specific customer orders and spare parts, and are valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management provides a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value.

Equipment and improvements. Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and

improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:

•	Computers and electronic test equipment	3-5 years

•	Furniture and fixtures	5-7 years


•	Leasehold improvements	lesser of lease term or estimated useful life of asset

Software development costs. Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional development costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed” (SFAS 86). Such capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product of three years. The Company provides support services on the current and prior two versions of its software. Management performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable research and development activities, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.

Income taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future state and federal tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred income taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes. Valuation allowances are established as a reduction of net deferred income tax assets if management determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be realized.

Share-Based Compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Expected term is estimated using the simplified method which is equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term. Volatility is estimated by using the weighted average historical volatility of our common stock, which approximates expected volatility. The risk free rate is the implied yield available on the U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equal to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is the average dividend rate during a period equal to the expected term of the option. Those inputs are then entered into the Black Scholes model to determine the estimated fair value. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized ratably as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table shows total stock-based employee compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R). retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141(R) requires expensing of acquisition-related and restructure-related costs, remeasurement of earn out provisions at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and non-expensing of in-process research and development related intangibles. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. This pronouncement will be applied by the Company when it becomes effective and when or if the Company effectuates a business combination, otherwise there is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of SFAS No. 115”, (SFAS 159) which applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 159 effective April 1, 2008 and is in the process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

5. Intangible Assets – Goodwill

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142), the Company does not amortize goodwill as the goodwill has been determined to have indefinite useful life. The balance of goodwill is related to the Company’s NextGen Healthcare Information Systems Division (NextGen or Division), which was acquired by virtue of two acquisitions completed in May of 1996 and 1997, respectively. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has compared the fair value of the NextGen Division with the carrying amount of assets associated with the Division and determined that none of the goodwill recorded as of June 30, 2007 (the annual assessment date) was impaired. Assessments are performed annually unless there is a triggering event which would require an earlier assessment. The fair value of NextGen was determined using a reasonable estimate of future cash flows of the Division and a risk adjusted discount rate to compute a net present value of future cash flows.

6. Intangible Assets – Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company had the following amounts related to intangible assets with definite lives (in thousands):

	December 31, 2007			March 31, 2007

7. Employee Stock Option Plans

In September 1998, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan (the “1998 Plan”) under which 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for the issuance of options. The 1998 Plan provides that employees, directors and consultants of the Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The exercise price of each option granted shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant, and options under the 1998 Plan expire no later than ten years from the grant date. Options granted will generally become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which they were granted. Certain option grants to directors became exercisable three months from the date of grant. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 1998 Plan terminated on December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, there were 1,338,665 outstanding options related to this Plan.

In October 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) under which 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for the issuance of awards, including stock options, 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 employees, directors and consultants of the Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted awards to purchase shares of Common Stock. The exercise price of each award granted shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Plan, and under the 2005 Plan awards expire no later than ten years from the grant date. Options granted will generally become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which they were granted. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding award may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 2005 Plan terminates on May 25, 2015, unless sooner terminated by the Board. At December 31, 2007, 2,400,000 shares were available for future grant under the 2005 Plan. As of December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding options related to this Plan.

A summary of stock option transactions during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 is as follows:

			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)

Outstanding, April 1, 2007	1,461,950		$	18.46	4.00
Granted	200,500		$	39.22	4.84
Exercised	(270,010	)	$	14.42	2.64	$	4,338
Forfeited/Canceled	(53,775	)	$	20.42	3.55
Outstanding, December 31, 2007	1,338,665		$	22.34	3.60	$	13,624

Exercisable, December 31, 2007	482,404		$	19.31	3.15	$	5,837

Vested and expected to vest, December 31, 2007	1,326,724		$	22.32	3.60	$	13,516

The Company continues to utilize the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The following assumptions were utilized for options granted during the period:




Expected life	3.75 years	3.75 - 4.75 years
Expected volatility	42.37% - 44.81%	47.7% - 48.5%
Expected dividends	2.67% - 2.99%	2.05% - 2.36%
Risk-free rate	3.07% - 5.09%	4.60% - 5.09%

During the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, 200,500 and 75,000 options were granted, respectively, under the 1998 Stock Option Plan. The Company issues new shares to satisfy option exercises. Based on historical experience of option cancellations, the Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 1.4% for employee options and 0.0% for director options. Forfeiture rates will be adjusted over the requisite service period when actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate. The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $12.78 per share and $14.33 per share, respectively.

On November 5, 2007, the Board of Directors granted 6,000 options under the Company’s 1998 Plan to an employee, at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant ($33.25 per share). The options vest in four equal annual installments beginning November 5, 2008 and expire on November 5, 2012.

On August 9, 2007, the Board of Directors granted a total of 35,000 options under the Company’s 1998 Plan to non-management directors pursuant to the Company’s previously announced compensation plan for non-management directors, at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant ($43.26 per share). The options vest in four equal annual installments beginning August 9, 2008 and expire on August 9, 2012.

On June 12, 2007, the Board of Directors granted a total of 159,500 options under a previously approved performance-based equity incentive program for selected employees based on fiscal year 2007 performance. These shares were issued under the Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant ($38.83 per share). The options vest in four equal annual installments beginning June 12, 2008 and expire on June 12, 2012.

On May 31, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a performance-based equity incentive program for employees to be awarded options to purchase the Company’s common stock based on meeting certain target increases in earnings per share performance and revenue growth during fiscal year 2008. Under the program, options may also be granted as an incentive to prospective employees to join the Company. If earned, the options shall be issued pursuant to one of the Company’s shareholder approved option plans, have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant, a term of five years, vesting in four equal installments commencing one year following the date of grant. The maximum number of options available under the performance-based equity incentive program plan is 310,000, of which 20,000 is reserved for new employees. Based on performance versus established plan targets, no share-based compensation expense related to the performance plan was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.

Non-vested stock option award activity, including awards for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007, is summarized as follows:

			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share

Non-vested, April 1, 2007	941,300		$	7.89
Granted	200,500		$	12.78
Vested	(231,764	)	$	3.08
Forfeited/Canceled	(53,775	)	$	9.04

Non-vested, December 31, 2007	856,261		$	9.42

As of December 31, 2007, $5,034 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.08 years. This amount does not include the cost of new options that may be granted in future periods or any changes in the Company’s forfeiture percentage. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $714 and $1,347.

8. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $6,234 as compared to $4,819 for the year ago period. The effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 35.7% and 35.6%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was significantly impacted by a deduction for company-owned life insurance proceeds. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 differs from the combined statutory rates primarily due to the re-enactment of federal research and development tax credits which occurred in December 2006. The re-enactment was retroactive to the start of our fiscal year, resulting in a benefit for research and development credits recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $16,548 as compared to $15,439 for the year ago period. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 36.5% and 38.4%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 differs primarily from the combined statutory rates due to the impact of the varying state income tax rates, federal and state research and development tax credits, Qualified Production Activities Deduction, and exclusions for company-owned life insurance proceeds and tax-exempt interest income. The effective rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 decreased from the prior year primarily from an increase in the statutory deduction for qualified production activities, an exclusion for company-owned life insurance proceeds and tax-exempt interest income. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 differed from the combined statutory rates primarily due to the impact of federal and state research and development tax credits. The effective rate for the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 also included a benefit from the Qualified Production Activities Deduction, which was mostly offset by non-deductible option expense related to incentive stock options.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company claimed federal and state research and development tax credits of $779 and $111, respectively. The Company expects to capture this benefit on its tax returns.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company claimed federal and state research and development tax credits of $578 and $76, respectively. The Company captured this benefit on its tax returns.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company estimated a federal and state Qualified Production Activities Deduction of $2,165 and $1,013, respectively. The Company expects to capture this benefit on its tax returns.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company estimated a federal and state Qualified Production Activities Deduction of $1,071 and $538, respectively. The Company captured this benefit on its tax returns.

On April 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”).” The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements. As a result, there was no cumulative effect related to adopting FIN 48. However, certain amounts have been reclassified in the statement of financial position in order to comply with the requirements of the statement.

At adoption, and as of December 31, 2007, the Company had $394 and $152, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, $46 of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in the future.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in general and administrative expenses. At adoption and as of December 31, 2007, the Company had $45 and $38, respectively, accrued for interest payable and no penalties were accrued.

The Company’s income tax returns filed for tax years 2003 through 2006 and 2002 through 2006 are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, respectively.

The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.

9. Net Income Per Share

The following table reconciles the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that the Company’s outstanding options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,

	2007		2006		2007		2006

Net income	$	11,214	$	8,721	$	28,826	$	24,727
Basic net income per common share:
Weighted average of common shares outstanding		27,362		26,966		27,261		26,828

Basic net income per common share	$	0.41	$	0.32	$	1.06	$	0.92



Net income	$	11,214	$	8,721	$	28,826	$	24,727
Diluted net income per common share:
Weighted average of common shares outstanding		27,362		26,966		27,261		26,828
Effect of potentially dilutive securities (options)		334		541		478		613

Weighted average of common shares outstanding-diluted		27,696		27,507		27,739		27,441

Diluted net income per common share	$	0.40	$	0.32	$	1.04	$	0.90

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 382,850 and 278,850 options for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007, 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 92,500 options for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

10. Operating Segment Information

The Company has prepared operating segment information in accordance with SFAS 131 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” to report components that are evaluated regularly by its chief operating decision maker, or decision making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Reportable operating segments include the NextGen Division and the QSI Division.

The two divisions operate largely as stand-alone operations, with each division maintaining its own distinct product lines, product platforms, development, implementation and support teams, sales staffing, and branding. The two divisions share the resources of the Company’s “corporate office” which includes a variety of accounting and other administrative functions. Additionally, there are a small number of clients who are simultaneously utilizing software from each of the Company’s two divisions.

The QSI Division, co-located with the Company’s Corporate Headquarters in Irvine, California, currently focuses on developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental and certain niche medical practices. In addition, the division supports a number of medical clients that utilize the division’s UNIXa based medical practice management software product. The NextGen Division, with headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania, and a second significant location in Atlanta, Georgia, focuses principally on developing and marketing products and services for medical practices.

The accounting policies of the Company’s operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, except that the disaggregated financial results of the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the basis and manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions. Certain corporate overhead costs, such as executive and accounting department personnel-related expenses, are not allocated to the individual segments by management. Management evaluates performance based on stand-alone segment operating income. Because the Company does not evaluate performance based on return on assets at the operating segment level, assets are not tracked internally by segment. Therefore, segment asset information is not presented.

Operating segment data for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,

	2007			2006			2007			2006

Revenue:
QSI Division	$	4,072		$	4,267		$	12,060		$	12,129
NextGen Division		44,018			34,229			123,208			99,900

Consolidated revenue	$	48,090		$	38,496		$	135,268		$	112,029


Operating income(loss):
QSI Division	$	650		$	1,368		$	2,996		$	3,526
NextGen Division		17,823			13,424			47,425			40,873
Unallocated corporate expenses		(2,688	)		(2,187	)		(8,094	)		(6,654	)

Consolidated operating income	$	15,785		$	12,605		$	42,327		$	37,745

11. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company had cash deposits at U.S. banks and financial institutions which exceeded federally insured limits at December 31, 2007. The Company is exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the institutions; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by these institutions.

12. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies

____________________

^a UNIX is a registered trademark of the AT&T Corporation.

Commitments and Guarantees

Software license agreements in both the QSI and NextGen Divisions include a performance guarantee that the Company’s software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 365 days after delivery. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with these warranties and does 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, the Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with these warranties and does not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties.

The Company has historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If the Company is 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 the Company is 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.

The Company’s standard sales agreements in the NextGen Division contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which it 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 its software. The QSI Division arrangements occasionally utilize this type of language as well. As the Company has not incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements, the Company believes that its estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these indemnification obligations.

From time to time, the Company offers future purchase discounts on its products and services as part of its sales arrangements. Discounts which are incremental to the range of discounts reflected in the pricing of the other elements of the arrangement, which are incremental to the range of discounts typically given in comparable transactions, and which are significant, are treated as an additional element of the contract to be deferred. Amounts deferred related to future purchase options are not recognized until either the customer exercises the discount offer or the offer expires.

The Company has entered into marketing assistance agreements with existing users of the Company’s products which provide the opportunity for those users to earn commissions if and only if they host specific site visits upon the Company’s request for prospective customers which directly result in a purchase of the Company’s software by the visiting prospects. Amounts earned by existing users under this program are treated as a selling expense in the period when earned.

13. Gain from Life Insurance Proceeds

On September 26, 2007, Mr. Gregory Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s QSI Division passed away. Mr. Flynn participated in the Company’s deferred compensation plan which is funded through the purchase of life insurance policies with the Company named as beneficiary. As a result of Mr. Flynn’s passing, the Company recorded additional compensation expense of $198 which was offset by net insurance proceeds of $953. The additional compensation expense was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and the insurance proceeds were recorded as Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

14. Subsequent Event

On January 30, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per share payable on its outstanding shares of common stock. The cash dividend record date is March 14, 2008 and the cash dividend is expected to be distributed to shareholders on or about April 7, 2008.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this quarterly report may include forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those anticipated by us as a result of various factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, including, but not limited to, our ability to continue to develop new products and increase systems sales in markets characterized by rapid technological evolution, consolidation, and competition from larger, better capitalized competitors. Many other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors could impact our ability to achieve our goals, and interested persons are urged to review any new risks which may be described in “Risk Factors” set forth herein and other risk factors appearing in our most recent filing on Form 10-K, as supplemented by additional risk factors, if any, in our interim filings on Form 10-Q, as well as in our other public disclosures and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Historical results of operations, percentage profit fluctuations and any trends that may be inferred from the discussion below are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. The discussion and analysis of our financial condition 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. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, uncollectible accounts receivable, intangible assets, software development cost, and income taxes for reasonableness. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized software costs, share-based compensation and income taxes are among the most critical accounting policies and estimates that impact our consolidated financial statements. We believe that our significant accounting policies, as described in Note 2 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Revenue Recognition. We currently recognize revenue pursuant to SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9. We generate revenue from the sale of licensing rights to use our software products sold directly to end-users and value-added resellers (VARs). We also generate revenue from sales of hardware and third party software, and implementation, training, software customization, EDI, post-contract support (“maintenance”) and other services performed for customers who license our products.

A typical system contract contains multiple elements of the above items. SOP 97-2, as amended, requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements. The fair value of an element must be based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE). We limit our assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately (using a rolling average of stand alone transactions) or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed at the end of each quarter or annually depending on the nature of the product or service.

When evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements only, the residual method, provided for under SOP 98-9, is used. Under the residual method, we defer revenue

related to the undelivered elements in a system sale based on VSOE of fair value of each of the undelivered elements, and allocate the remainder of the contract price net of all discounts to revenue recognized from the delivered elements. Undelivered elements of a system sale may include implementation and training services, hardware and third party software, maintenance, future purchase discounts, or other services. If VSOE of fair value of any undelivered element does not exist, all revenue is deferred until VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element is established or the element has been delivered.

We bill for the entire contract amount upon contract execution except for maintenance which is billed separately. Amounts billed in excess of the amounts contractually due are recorded in accounts receivable as advance billings. Amounts are contractually due when services are performed or in accordance with contractually specified payment dates. Provided the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable, revenue from licensing rights and sales of hardware and third party software is generally recognized upon shipment and transfer of title. In certain transactions whose collections risk is high, the cash basis method is used to recognize revenue. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, then the revenue recognized in each period (subject to application of other revenue recognition criteria) will be the lesser of the aggregate of amounts due and payable or the amount of the arrangement fee that would have been recognized if the fees were being recognized using the residual method. Fees which are considered fixed or determinable at the inception of our arrangements must include the following characteristics:

•	The fee must be negotiated at the outset of an arrangement, and generally be based on the specific volume of products to be delivered without being subject to change based on variable pricing mechanisms such as the number of units copied or distributed or the expected number of users.

•	Payment terms must not be considered extended. If a significant portion of the fee is due more than 12 months after delivery or after the expiration of the license, the fee is presumed not fixed and determinable.

Revenue from implementation and training services is recognized as the corresponding services are performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance period.

Pursuant to SOP 81-1, we use the percentage of completion method provided all of the following conditions exist:

•	The contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement;

•	The customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract;

•	We can be expected to perform our contractual obligations; and

•	Reliable estimates of progress towards completion can be made.

We measure completion using labor input hours. Costs of providing services, including services accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1, are expensed as incurred.

If a situation occurs in which a contract is so short term that the consolidated financial statements would not vary materially from using the percentage-of-completion method or in which we are unable to make reliable estimates of progress of completion of the contract, the completed contract method is utilized.

Product returns are estimated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (SFAS 48). The Company also ensures that the other criteria in SFAS 48 have been met prior to recognition of revenue:

•	The price is fixed or determinable;

•	The customer is obligated to pay and there are no contingencies surrounding the obligation or the payment;

•	The customer’s obligation would not change in the event of theft or damage to the product;

•	The customer has economic substance;

•	The amount of returns can be reasonably estimated; and

•	We do not have significant obligations for future performance in order to bring about resale of the product by the customer.

We have historically offered short-term rights of return of less than 30 days in certain sales arrangements. If we are able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, 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 our consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire.

Revenue related to sales arrangements which include the right to use software stored on the Company’s hardware are accounted for under the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-3 “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to arrangements that include the right to use software stored on another entity’s hardware”. EITF No. 00-3 requires that for software licenses and related implementation services to continue to fall under SOP No. 97-2, the customer must have the contractual right to take possession of the software without incurring a significant penalty and it must be feasible for the customer to either host the software themselves or through another third party. If an arrangement is not deemed to be accounted for under SOP 97-2, the entire arrangement is accounted for as a service contract in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-21 “Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables”. In that instance, the entire arrangement would be recognized as the hosting services are being performed.

From time to time, we offer future purchase discounts on our products and services as part of our sales arrangements. Pursuant to AICPA TPA 5100.51, discounts which are incremental to the range of discounts reflected in the pricing of the other elements of the arrangement, which are incremental to the range of discounts typically given in comparable transactions, and which are significant, are treated as an additional element of the contract to be deferred. Amounts deferred related to future purchase options are not recognized until either the customer exercises the discount offer or the offer expires.

Revenue is divided into two categories, “system sales” and “maintenance, EDI and other services”. Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third party hardware and software, and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company’s software systems. The majority of the revenue in the system sales category is related to the sale of software. Revenue in the maintenance, EDI and other services category includes, maintenance, EDI, follow on training and implementation services, annual third party license fees and other revenue.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and maintain reserves for estimated credit losses. Reserves for potential credit losses are determined by establishing both specific and general reserves. Specific reserves are based on management’s estimate of the probability of collection for certain troubled accounts. General reserves are established based on our historical experience of bad debt expense and the aging of our accounts receivable balances net of deferred revenue and specifically reserved accounts. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Software Development Costs. Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established with the completion of a working model of the enhancement or product, any additional development costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed” (SFAS 86). Such capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is generally three years. We perform an annual review of the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.

Share-Based Compensation. On April 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). SFAS 123R requires us to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the simplified method for estimating expected term equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term. Prior to using the simplified method, we estimated the expected term of an option. We estimate volatility by using the weighted average historical volatility of our common stock, which we believe approximates expected volatility. The risk free rate is the implied yield available on the U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equal to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is the average dividend rate during a period equal to the expected term of the option. Those inputs are then entered into the Black Scholes model to determine the estimated fair value. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in our consolidated statement of income.

Research and Development Tax Credits. Management’s treatment of research and development tax credits represented a significant estimate which affected the effective income tax rate for the Company for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Research and development credits taken by the Company involve certain assumptions and judgments regarding qualified expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 41. These credits are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company claimed federal and state research and development tax credits of $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company expects to capture this benefit on its tax returns.

Qualified Production Activities Deduction. Management’s treatment of this deduction represented an estimate that affected the effective income tax rate for the Company for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The deduction taken by the Company involved certain assumptions and judgments regarding the allocation of indirect expenses as prescribed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company estimated a federal and state deduction of $2.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company expects to capture this benefit on its tax returns.

Company Overview

Quality Systems Inc., comprised of the QSI Division (QSI Division) and a wholly owned subsidiary, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc. (NextGen Division) (collectively, the Company, we, our, or us) develops and markets healthcare information systems that automate certain aspects of medical and dental practices, networks of practices such as physician hospital organizations (PHO’s) and management service organizations (MSO’s), ambulatory care centers, community health centers, and medical and dental schools.

The Company, a California corporation formed in 1974, was founded with an early focus on providing information systems to dental group practices. In the mid-1980’s, we capitalized on the increasing focus on medical cost containment and further expanded our information processing systems to serve the medical market. In the mid-1990’s we made two acquisitions that accelerated our penetration of the medical market. These two acquisitions formed the basis for what is today the NextGen Division. Today, we serve the medical and dental markets through our two divisions.

The two divisions operate largely as stand-alone operations with each division maintaining its own distinct product lines, product platforms, development, implementation and support teams, sales staffing, and branding. The two divisions share the resources of the “corporate office” which includes a variety of accounting and other administrative functions. Additionally, there are a small number of clients who are simultaneously utilizing software from each of our two divisions.

The QSI Division, co-located with our corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, currently focuses on developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental and certain niche medical practices. In addition, the Division supports a number of

medical clients that utilize the Division’s UNIX¹ based medical practice management software product.

The NextGen Division, with headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania, and a second significant location in Atlanta, Georgia, focuses principally on developing and marketing products and services for medical practices.

Both divisions develop and market practice management software which is designed to automate and streamline a number of the administrative functions required for operating a medical or dental practice. Examples of practice management software functions include scheduling and billing capabilities. It is important to note that in both the medical and dental environments, practice management software systems have already been implemented by the vast majority of practices. Therefore, we actively compete for the replacement market.

In addition, both divisions develop and market software that automates the patient record. Adoption of this software, commonly referred to as clinical software, is in its relatively early stages. Therefore, we are typically competing to replace paper-based patient record alternatives as opposed to replacing previously purchased systems.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)/connectivity products are intended to automate a number of manual, often paper-based or telephony intensive communications between patients and/or providers and/or payors. Two of the more common EDI services are forwarding insurance claims electronically from providers to payors and assisting practices with issuing statements to patients. Most practices utilize at least some of these services from us or one of our competitors. Other EDI/connectivity services are used more sporadically by client practices. We typically compete to displace incumbent vendors for claims and statements accounts, and attempt to increase usage of other elements in our EDI/connectivity product line. In general, EDI services are only sold to those accounts utilizing software from one of our divisions.

The QSI Division’s practice management software suite utilizes a UNIX operating system. Its Clinical Product Suite (CPS) utilizes a Windows NT² operating system and can be fully integrated with the practice management software from each division. CPS incorporates a wide range of clinical tools including, but not limited to, periodontal charting and digital imaging of X-ray and inter-oral camera images as part of the electronic patient record. The Division develops, markets, and manages our EDI/connectivity applications. The QSInet Application Service Provider (ASP/Internet) offering is also developed and marketed by this Division.

Our NextGen Division develops and sells proprietary electronic medical records software and practice management systems under the NextGen®³ product name. Major product categories of the NextGen suite include Electronic Medical Records (NextGen^emr), Enterprise Practice Management (NextGen^epm), Enterprise Appointment Scheduling (NextGen^eas), Enterprise Master Patient Index (NextGen^epi), NextGen Image Control System (NextGen^ics), Managed Care Server (NextGen^mcs), Electronic Data Interchange, System Interfaces, Internet Operability (NextGen^web), a Patient-centric and Provider-centric Web Portal solution (NextMD⁴ .com), NextGen Express, a version of NextGen^emr designed for small practices and NextGen Community Health Solution (NextGen^chs). Beginning in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the NextGen Division began offering optional NextGen Hosting Solutions to new and existing customers. NextGen also introduced a formal rollout of a new revenue cycle management service in fiscal year 2008. NextGen products utilize Microsoft Windows technology and can operate in a client-server environment as well as via private intranet, the Internet, or in an ASP environment.

We continue to pursue product enhancement initiatives within each division. The majority of such expenditures are currently targeted to the NextGen Division product line and client base.

Inclusive of divisional EDI revenue, the NextGen Division accounted for approximately 91.5% of our revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 88.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The QSI Division accounted for 8.5% and 11.1% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The NextGen Division’s year over year

revenue grew at 28.6% and 49.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively, while the QSI Division’s year over year revenue declined 4.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and increased by 10.3% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, respectively.

In addition to the aforementioned software solutions which we offer through our two divisions, we also offer comprehensive hardware and software installation services, maintenance and support services, revenue cycle management and system training services.

Results of Operations

Overview of results

•	Consolidated revenue grew 20.8% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus the same period in 2006 and 33.8% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 versus the same period in 2005.

•	Consolidated income from operations grew 12.2% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus the same period in 2006 and grew 56.9% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 versus 2005. For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, operating income was impacted by a shift in the revenue mix with increased hardware and EDI revenue resulting in a decline in our gross profit margin. Also, headcount additions resulted in higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

•	We have benefited and hope to continue to benefit from the increased demands on healthcare providers for greater efficiency and lower costs, as well as increased adoption rates for electronic medical records and other technology in the healthcare arena.

NextGen Division

•	Our NextGen Division’s revenue grew 23.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006 and 38.7% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 versus 2005. Divisional operating income (which excludes unallocated corporate expenses) grew 16.0% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006 and 54.5% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 versus 2005. For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, operating income was impacted by a shift in the revenue mix with increased hardware and EDI revenue resulting in a decline in our gross profit margin. Margins were also negatively impacted by headcount additions which resulted in higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

•	During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, we added staffing resources to most of our client-interfacing departments, and intend to continue doing so in future quarters.

•	Our goals include continuing to further enhance and expand the marketing and sales of our existing products, developing new products for targeted markets, continuing to add new customers, selling additional software and services to existing customers and expanding penetration of connectivity and other services to new and existing customers.

QSI Division

•	Our QSI Division revenue decreased 1.0% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus the same period in 2006 and grew 3.5% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 versus the same period in 2005. The Division experienced a $0.5 million or 15.0% decrease in operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus the same period in 2006 as compared to an 18.7% increase in operating income in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 versus the same period in 2005. Approximately $0.2 million of the decrease is a due to additional compensation expense as a result of recognizing proceeds from a life insurance policy related to the passing of Mr. Greg Flynn. The additional compensation expense was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. In addition, for the nine months ended December 31, 2007, operating income was further negatively impacted by lower revenues as well as a decline in the gross profit margin, driven by slight changes in mix toward increased hardware and EDI revenue.

•	Our goals for the QSI Division include maximizing profit performance given the constraints represented by a relatively weak purchasing environment in the dental group practice market.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of revenues represented by each item in our Consolidated Statements of Income (unaudited).

Net income		23.3	%		22.7	%		21.3	%		22.1	%

For the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006

Net Income. The Company’s net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $11.2 million or $0.41 per share on a basic and $0.40 per share on a fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $8.7 million or $0.32 per share on a basic and fully diluted basis for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was a result of the following:

•	a 24.9% increase in consolidated revenue;

•	a 28.6% increase in NextGen Division revenue which accounted for 91.5% of consolidated revenue; and

•	approximately $1.0 million gain on life insurance proceeds the Company recorded, which was offset by additional compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million. The additional compensation expense was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and the insurance proceeds were recorded as Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

The above positive factors to net income were offset by a decline in gross profit margin resulting from a greater proportion of revenue being derived from hardware and EDI revenue which have relatively lower gross margin percentages. The gross profit margin declined to 66.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2007 versus 67.0% in the prior year period.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 24.9% to $48.1 million from $38.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. NextGen Division revenue increased 28.6% from $34.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to approximately $44.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007, while QSI Division revenue decreased by 4.6% during the three months ended December 31, 2007 over the prior year period.

We divide revenue into two categories, “system sales” and “maintenance, EDI and other services”. Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third party hardware and software, and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company’s software systems. The majority of the revenue in the system sales category is related to the sale of software. Revenue in the maintenance, EDI and other services category includes, maintenance, EDI, follow-on training and implementation services, annual third party license fees and other revenue. Maintenance revenue includes amounts initially deferred in conjunction with new customer arrangements and subsequently amortized and billings to existing customers.

System Sales. Revenue earned from company-wide sales of systems for the three months ended December 31, 2007, increased 25.0% to $23.7 million from $19.0 million in the prior year period.

Our increase in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of an 27.6% increase in category revenue at our NextGen Division. Divisional sales in this category grew from $17.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $22.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was driven by higher sales of NextGen^emr and NextGen^epm software to both new and existing clients, as well as increases in sales of hardware, third party software and supplies and implementation and training services.

The following table breaks down our reported system sales into software, hardware, third party software, supplies, and implementation and training services components by division:


	Software		Hardware, Third Party Software and Supplies		Implementation and Training Services		Total System Sales

Three months ended December 31, 2007
QSI Division	$	179	$	307	$	371	$	857
NextGen Division		18,510		1,595		2,744		22,849

Consolidated	$	18,689	$	1,902	$	3,115	$	23,706


Three months ended December 31, 2006
QSI Division	$	235	$	710	$	119	$	1,064
NextGen Division		14,612		531		2,766		17,909

Consolidated	$	14,847	$	1,241	$	2,885	$	18,973

NextGen Division software license revenue increased 26.7% between the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the prior year period. The Division’s software revenue accounted for 81.0% of divisional system sales revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, divisional software revenue as a percentage of divisional system sales revenue was 81.6%. Sales of additional licenses to existing customers was $9.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2007 up from $4.5 million in the prior year period. The sale of licenses to existing customers can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. NextGen’s growing client base has been a source of increased sales of add-on licenses.

Software license revenue growth continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division.

During the three months ended December 31, 2007, 7.0% of NextGen’s system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third party software compared to 3.0% in the prior year period. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, there was a shift in the revenue mix with increased revenue coming from hardware revenue. The number of customers who purchase hardware and third party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software revenue fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of customers. The inclusion of hardware and third party software in the Division’s sales arrangements is typically at the request of the customer and is not a priority focus for us.

Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the NextGen Division remained unchanged in the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2006. The amount of implementation and training services revenue in any given quarter is dependent on several factors, including timing of customer implementations, the availability of qualified staff, and the mix of services being rendered. The number of implementation and training staff increased during the three months ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006 in order to accommodate the increased amount of implementation services sold in conjunction with increased software sales. In order to achieve growth in this area, additional staffing increases and additional training facilities are anticipated, though actual future increases in revenue and staff will depend upon the availability of qualified staff, business mix and conditions, and our ability to retain current staff members.

The NextGen Division’s growth has come in part from investments in sales and marketing activities including hiring additional sales representatives, trade show attendance, and advertising expenditures. We have also benefited from winning numerous industry awards for the NextGen Division’s flagship NextGen^emrand NextGen^epm software products and the apparent increasing acceptance of electronic medical records technology in the healthcare industry.

For the QSI Division, total system sales decreased 19.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2007 versus the same period ended December 31, 2006. We do not presently foresee any material changes in the business environment for the Division with respect to the weak purchasing environment in the dental group practice market that has existed for the past several years.

Maintenance, EDI and Other Services. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, Company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI and other services grew 24.9% to $24.4 million from $19.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in this category resulted from an increase in maintenance, EDI and other services revenue from the NextGen Division’s client base. Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 grew 40.7% to $13.1 million from $9.3 million in the prior year period, while EDI revenue grew 44.1% to $4.6 million compared to $3.2 million during the prior year period. Other services revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 declined 9.0% to $3.5 million from $3.8 million in the prior year period. QSI Division maintenance revenue remained fairly unchanged in the three months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year period while QSI divisional EDI revenue increased by 3.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year period.

The following table details revenue included in the maintenance, EDI and other category for the three month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:


	Maintenance		EDI		Other		Total

Three months ended December 31, 2007
QSI Division	$	1,795	$	1,123	$	297	$	3,215
NextGen Division		13,066		4,616		3,487		21,169

Consolidated	$	14,861	$	5,739	$	3,784	$	24,384


Three months ended December 31, 2006
QSI Division	$	1,784	$	1,086	$	333	$	3,203
NextGen Division		9,285		3,204		3,831		16,320

Consolidated	$	11,069	$	4,290	$	4,164	$	19,523

The growth in maintenance revenue for the NextGen Division has come from new customers that have been added each quarter, existing customers who have purchased additional

licenses, and our relative success in retaining existing maintenance customers. NextGen’s EDI revenue growth has come from new customers and from further penetration of the Division’s existing customer base. We intend to continue to promote maintenance and EDI services to both new and existing customers.

The following table provides the number of billing sites which were receiving maintenance services as of the last business day of the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, as well as the number of billing sites receiving EDI services during the last month of each respective period at each division of the Company. The table presents summary information only and includes billing entities added and removed for any reason. Note also that a single client may include one or multiple billing sites, and changes in billing protocols for certain clients can cause period to period changes in the number of billing sites.

December 31, 2007		1,091			966			253			167			1,344			1,133

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 27.2% to $16.1 million from $12.7 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 33.6% from 33.0% due to the fact that the rate of growth in cost of revenue grew faster than the aggregate revenue growth rate for the Company.

The increase in our consolidated cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue between the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended December 31, 2006 is primarily attributable to an increase in the level of hardware and third party software, an increase in other expense as a percentage of revenue in the NextGen Division as well as an increase in cost of revenue in the QSI Division, which accounted for 8.5% of consolidated revenue. Other expense, which consists of outside service costs, amortization of software development costs and other costs, increased to 17.9% of total revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2007 from 16.6% of total revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2006.

The following table details the individual components of cost of revenue and gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for our Company and our two divisions.



Three months ended December 31, 2007
QSI Division	8.9	%	18.6	%	21.1	%	48.6	%	51.4	%
NextGen Division	4.2	%	10.4	%	17.6	%	32.2	%	67.8	%

Consolidated	4.6	%	11.1	%	17.9	%	33.6	%	66.4	%


Three months ended December 31, 2006
QSI Division	8.6	%	16.1	%	19.4	%	44.1	%	55.9	%
NextGen Division	2.6	%	12.7	%	16.3	%	31.6	%	68.4	%

Consolidated	3.3	%	13.1	%	16.6	%	33.0	%	67.0	%

During the three months ended December 31, 2007, hardware and third party software constituted a larger portion of consolidated cost of revenue compared to the prior year period. The number of customers who purchase hardware and third party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software purchased fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of the customers and is not a priority focus for us.

Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services decreased to 11.1% of consolidated revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2007

compared to 13.1% during the three months ended December 31, 2006. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $5.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $5.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 6% or approximately $0.3 million. The increase was due primarily to additions to related headcount, payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the NextGen Division where such expenses increased to $4.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $4.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006. Payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the QSI Division increased to $0.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $0.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R added approximately $0.1 million in compensation expense to cost of revenue for both the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We anticipate continued additions to headcount in the NextGen Division in areas related to delivering products and services in future periods but due to the uncertainties in the timing of our sales arrangements, our sales mix, the acquisition and training of qualified personnel, and other issues. We cannot accurately predict if related headcount expense as a percentage of revenue will increase or decrease in the future.

We do not currently intend to make any significant additions to related headcount at the QSI Division.

As a result of the foregoing events and activities, the gross profit percentage for the Company and our NextGen Division decreased for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 versus the prior year period.

The following table details revenue and cost of revenue on a consolidated and divisional basis for the three month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:


	Three months ended December 31,					Three months ended December 31,

	2007		%			2006		%

QSI Division
Revenue	$	4,072		100.0	%	$	4,267		100.0	%
Cost of revenue		1,978		48.6	%		1,880		44.1	%

Gross profit	$	2,094		51.4	%	$	2,387		55.9	%


NextGen Division
Revenue	$	44,018		100.0	%	$	34,229		100.0	%
Cost of revenue		14,170		32.2	%		10,817		31.6	%

Gross profit	$	29,848		67.8	%	$	23,412		68.4	%


Consolidated
Revenue	$	48,090		100.0	%	$	38,496		100.0	%
Cost of revenue		16,148		33.6	%		12,697		33.0	%

Gross profit	$	31,942		66.4	%	$	25,799		67.0	%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 25.4% to $13.3 million as compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in these expenses resulted from a $1.9 million increase in compensation expense in the NextGen Division, $0.6 million in selling related expenses in the NextGen Division, a $0.5 million increase in corporate related expenses, offset by a net $0.3 million decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the NextGen Division. The adoption of SFAS 123R added approximately $0.6 million in compensation expense to selling, general and administrative expenses for both the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly from 27.5% in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to 27.6% in the three months ended December 31, 2007, due in part to the fact that the rate of growth in revenue was slower than the selling, general and administrative expense growth rate for the Company.

We anticipate increased expenditures for trade shows, advertising and the employment of additional sales and administrative staff at the NextGen Division. We also anticipate future increases in corporate expenditures being made in a wide range of areas. While we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase on an absolute basis, we

cannot accurately predict the impact these additional expenditures will have on selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The increases in research and development expenses were due in part to increased investment in the NextGen product line. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS 123R added approximately $0.2 million in compensation expense to research and development costs for both the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Additions to capitalized software costs offset research and development costs. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, $1.5 million was added to capitalized software costs while $1.3 million was capitalized during the three months ended December 31, 2006. Research and development costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.0% during the three months ended December 31, 2007 from 6.8% for the same period in 2006. Research and development expenses are expected to continue at or above current dollar levels.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 decreased to $0.7 million compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006. Interest income in the three months ended December 31, 2007 decreased primarily due to a greater proportion of funds invested in tax favored auction rate securities which offer lower interest rates but higher after-tax yields compared to money market or short term U.S. Treasuries, as well as comparatively lower amounts of funds available for investment during the three months ended December 31, 2007 due to the regular quarterly dividend program adopted by our Board of Directors commencing with conclusion of our first fiscal quarter of 2008 (June 30, 2007) and continuing each fiscal quarter thereafter.

Our investment policy is determined by our Board of Directors. We currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including money market funds and auction rate securities with maturities or interest reset dates of 35 days or less. Our Board of Directors continues to review alternate uses for our cash including, but not limited to, payment of a special dividend, initiation of a stock buy back program, an expansion of our investment policy to include investments with longer maturities of greater than 90 days, or other items. Additionally, it is possible that we will utilize some or all of our cash to fund an acquisition or other similar business activity. Any or all of these programs could significantly impact our investment income in future periods.

Other Income. Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1.0 million. There was no Other income recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The Company recorded a gain on life insurance proceeds as a result of the passing of Gregory Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s QSI Division. Mr. Flynn participated in the Company’s deferred compensation plan which is funded through the purchase of life insurance policies with the Company named as beneficiary.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $6.2 million as compared to approximately $4.8 million for the year ago period. The effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 35.7% and 35.6%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was significantly impacted by a deduction for company-owned life insurance proceeds. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2006 differs from the combined statutory rates primarily due to the re-enactment of federal research and development tax credits which occurred in December 2006. The re-enactment was retroactive to the start of our fiscal year, resulting in a benefit for research and development credits recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

For the Nine-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006

Net Income. The Company’s net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $28.8 million or $1.06 per share on a basic and $1.04 per share on a fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $24.7 million or $0.92 per share on a basic and $0.90 per share on a fully diluted basis in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2007, was achieved primarily through the following:

•	a 20.8% increase in consolidated revenue;

•	a 23.3% increase in NextGen Division revenue which accounted for 91.1% of consolidated revenue; and

•	a $1.0 million gain on life insurance proceeds the Company recorded, which was offset by additional compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million. The additional

compensation expense was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and the insurance proceeds were recorded as Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

The above positive factors to net income were offset by a decline in gross profit margin resulting form a greater proportion of revenue being derived from hardware and EDI revenue which have relatively lower gross margin percentages. The gross profit margin declined to 66.4% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus 67.9% in the prior year period.

Revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased 20.8% to $135.3 million from $112.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. NextGen Division revenue increased 23.3% from $99.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to $123.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2007, while QSI Division revenue remained unchanged at $12.1 million during the nine month ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We divide revenue into two categories, “system sales” and “maintenance, EDI and other services”. Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third party hardware and software, and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company’s software systems. The majority of the revenue in the system sales category is related to the sale of software. Revenue in the maintenance, EDI and other services category includes, maintenance, EDI, follow on training and implementation services, annual third party license fees and other revenue.

System Sales. Company-wide sales of systems for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased 15.7% to $65.4 million from $56.5 million in the same prior year period.

Our increase in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of an 16.8% increase in category revenue at our NextGen Division whose systems sales grew from $54.2 million to $63.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was driven primarily by higher sales of NextGen^emr and NextGen^epm software to both new and existing clients, as well as increases in the sale of hardware, third party software, and supplies.

Category revenue in the QSI Division decreased slightly on a year over year basis during the nine months ended December 31, 2007.

The following table breaks down our reported systems sales into software, hardware and third party software and supplies, and implementation and training services components by division:

	Software		Hardware, Third Party Software and Supplies		Implementation and Training Services		Total System Sales

Nine months ended
December 31, 2007
QSI Division	$	300	$	837	$	911	$	2,048
NextGen Division		50,755		3,952		8,633		63,340

Consolidated	$	51,055	$	4,789	$	9,544	$	65,388


Nine months ended
December 31, 2006
QSI Division	$	510	$	1,380	$	414	$	2,304
NextGen Division		44,258		1,706		8,273		54,237

Consolidated	$	44,768	$	3,086	$	8,687	$	56,541

NextGen Division software license revenue increased 14.7% between the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The Division’s software revenue accounted for 80.1% of divisional systems sales revenue during the nine months ending December 31, 2007, a decrease from 81.6% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Sales of additional licenses to existing customers was $24.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 up from $19.3 million in the prior year period. The sale of licenses to existing customers can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. NextGen has benefited from a growing client base with which to sales add-on licenses.

Software license revenue growth continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, 6.2% of NextGen’s system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third party software compared to 3.1% in the prior year period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, there was an increase in the proportion of revenue coming from hardware sales. The number of customers who purchase hardware and third party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software revenue fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of customers. The inclusion of hardware and third party software in the Division’s sales arrangements is typically at the request of the customer and is not a priority focus for us.

Implementation and training revenue at the NextGen Division increased 4.4% from the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2006 while implementation and training revenue related to system sales decreased its share of category revenue from 15.2% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to 13.6% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The number of implementation and training staff increased during the course of the nine months ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006 in order to accommodate the increases in implementation services sold in conjunction with increased software sales. In order to achieve continued increasing revenue in this area, additional staffing increases are anticipated, though actual future increases will depend upon the availability of qualified staff, business conditions, and our ability to retain current staff members.

The NextGen Division’s growth has come in part from investments in sales and marketing activities including hiring additional sales representatives, trade show attendance, and advertising expenditures. We have also benefited from winning numerous industry awards for the NextGen Division’s flagship NextGen^emrand NextGen^epm software products, as well as the apparent increasing acceptance of electronic medical records technology in the healthcare industry.

Maintenance, EDI and Other Services. For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, Company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI and other services grew 25.9% to $69.9 million from $55.5 million during the same period last year. The increase in this category resulted principally from an increase in maintenance and EDI revenues from the NextGen Division’s client base. Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 grew 43.0% to $35.5 million from $24.8 million in the period a year ago, while EDI revenue grew 43.1% to $12.8 million compared to $8.9 million during the same period. QSI Division maintenance, EDI and other revenue increased 1.9% over the year ago period.

The following table details revenue included in Maintenance, EDI and other services for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:


	Maintenance		EDI		Other		Total

Nine months ended
December 31, 2007
QSI Division	$	5,371	$	3,417	$	1,224	$	10,012
NextGen Division		35,491		12,752		11,624		59,867

Consolidated	$	40,862	$	16,169	$	12,848	$	69,879


Nine months ended
December 31, 2006
QSI Division	$	5,279	$	3,422	$	1,124	$	9,825
NextGen Division		24,828		8,911		11,924		45,663

Consolidated	$	30,107	$	12,333	$	13,048	$	55,488

The growth in overall maintenance revenue has come from new customers that have been added each quarter, additional software purchases by existing customers, as well as our relative success in retaining existing maintenance customers. NextGen EDI revenue growth has come from new customers and from further penetration of the Division’s existing customer base. We intend to continue to promote maintenance and EDI services to both new and existing customers.

The following table provides the number of billing sites which were receiving maintenance services as of the last business day of the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, as well as the number of billing sites receiving EDI services during the last month of each respective period at each division of the Company. The table presents summary information only and includes billing entities added and removed for any reason. Note also that a single client may include one or multiple billing sites, and changes in billing arrangements with certain clients can cause period to period changes in the number of billing sites.


	NextGen						QSI						Consolidated

	Maintenance			EDI			Maintenance			EDI			Maintenance			EDI

December 31, 2006		931			710			260			180			1,191			890

December 31, 2007		1,091			966			253			167			1,344			1,133

Cost of Revenue. The cost of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased 26.3% to $45.5 million from $36.0 million, while the cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased to 33.6% from 32.1% during the same period a year ago.

The increase in our consolidated cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue between the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and the nine months ended December 31, 2006 is primarily attributable to an increase in the level of hardware and third party software included in the period’s transactions as well as an increase in EDI revenue, which carries relatively lower gross margins. Additionally, other expense, which consists of outside service costs, amortization of software development costs and other costs, increased to 18.0% of revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 from 16.2% of revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.

The following table details the individual components of cost of revenue and gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for our Company and our two divisions:

	Hardware, Third Party Software		Payroll and related Benefits		Other		Total Cost of Revenue		Gross Profit

Nine months ended
December 31, 2007
QSI Division	7.1	%	18.7	%	20.1	%	45.9	%	54.1	%
NextGen Division	3.7	%	10.9	%	17.8	%	32.4	%	67.6	%

Consolidated	4.0	%	11.6	%	18.0	%	33.6	%	66.4	%


Nine months ended
December 31, 2006
QSI Division	7.6	%	17.6	%	20.8	%	46.0	%	54.0	%
NextGen Division	2.5	%	12.3	%	15.6	%	30.4	%	69.6	%

Consolidated	3.0	%	12.9	%	16.2	%	32.1	%	67.9	%

During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the cost of hardware and third party software constituted 4.0% of consolidated revenue compared to 3.0% in the same year ago period. The number of customers who purchase hardware and third party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software purchased fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of the customers and is not a priority focus for us.

Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services decreased to 11.6% of consolidated revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared to 12.9% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $14.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to $15.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 9%. This increase was due primarily to additions to headcount, payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the NextGen Division, where divisional expenses increased from $12.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $13.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 9%. The NextGen Division’s payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services as a percentage of divisional revenue in the nine months ended

December 31, 2007 decreased to 10.9% compared to 12.3% in the prior year period, as revenue grew at a faster rate than the increase in payroll and benefits expenses. Headcount expense as a percentage of revenue for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 at the QSI Division increased compared to the prior year at 18.7% versus 17.6% in the prior year period. The adoption of SFAS 123R added approximately $0.4 million of compensation expense to cost of revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

We anticipate continued additions to headcount in the NextGen Division in areas related to delivering products and services in future periods but due to the uncertainties in the timing of our sales arrangements, our sales mix, the acquisition and training of qualified personnel, and other issues we cannot accurately predict if related headcount expense as a percentage of revenue will increase or decrease in the future.

We do not currently intend to make any significant additions to related headcount at the QSI Division.

Should the NextGen Division continue to represent an increasing share of our revenue and should NextGen continue to show higher gross profit percentages compared to the QSI Division, our gross profit percentages and trends should more closely match those of the NextGen Division.

As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit percentage for the Company and our NextGen operating Division decreased for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 versus the prior year period.

The following table details revenue and cost of revenue on a consolidated and divisional basis for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

	Nine months ended December 31,				Nine months ended December 31,

	2007		%		2006		%

QSI Division
Revenue	$	12,060	100.0	%	$	12,129	100.0	%
Cost of revenue		5,534	45.9	%		5,580	46.0	%

Gross profit	$	6,526	54.1	%	$	6,549	54.0	%

Gross profit	$	83,277	67.6	%	$	69,493	69.6	%



Consolidated
Revenue	$	135,268	100.0	%	$	112,029	100.0	%
Cost of revenue		45,465	33.6	%		35,987	32.1	%

Gross profit	$	89,803	66.4	%	$	76,042	67.9	%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased 27.1% to $39.1 million as compared to $30.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the amount of such expenses resulted primarily from increases of $4.9 million in salaries, commissions, and related benefits in the NextGen Division, $1.6 million in selling related expenses in the NextGen Division, $0.6 million in other selling and general expenses in the NextGen Division and $1.2 million in increased corporate related expenses. The increase in corporate expenses was primarily composed of salaries and related benefits. The adoption of SFAS 123R added $1.9 million and $1.7 million of compensation expense to selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 27.5% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to 28.9% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 due in to the fact that the rate of growth in selling, general and administrative expense was faster than the revenue growth rate for the Company.

We anticipate increased expenditures for trade shows, advertising and the employment of additional sales and administrative staff at the NextGen Division. We also anticipate future increases in corporate expenditures being made in areas including but not limited to staffing and professional services. While we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase on an absolute basis, we cannot accurately predict the

impact these additional expenditures will have on selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $8.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The increases in research and development expenses were primarily due to increased investment in the NextGen product line. Additions to capitalized software costs offset research and development costs. For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, $4.5 million was added to capitalized software costs while $3.5 million was capitalized during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R added $0.6 million of compensation expense to research and development costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Research and development costs as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 6.2% from 6.7% due to the fact that higher amounts were added to capitalized software costs in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 over the prior year period and the growth in revenue exceeded the growth in research and development spending. Research and development expenses are expected to continue at or above current levels.

Interest Income. Interest income for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 decreased 13.5% to $2.1 million compared to $2.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Interest income in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 decreased primarily due to a greater proportion of funds invested in tax favored auction rate securities which offer lower interest rates but higher after-tax yields compared to money market or short term U.S. Treasuries as well as comparatively lower amounts of funds available for investment during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 due to the regular quarterly dividend program adopted by our Board of Directors commencing with conclusion of our first fiscal quarter of 2008 (June 30, 2007) and continuing each fiscal quarter thereafter.

Our investment policy is determined by our Board of Directors. We currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including money market funds and auction rate securities with maturities or interest reset dates of less than 90 days. Our Board of Directors continues to review alternate uses for our cash including, but not limited to payment of a special dividend, initiation of a stock buy back program, an expansion of our investment policy to include investments with maturities of greater than 90 days, or other items. Additionally, it is possible that we will utilize some or all of our cash to fund an acquisition or other similar business activity. Any or all of these programs could significantly impact our investment income in future periods.

Other Income. Other income for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1.0 million. There was no Other income recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The Company recorded a gain on life insurance proceeds as a result of the passing of Gregory Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s QSI Division. Mr. Flynn participated in the Company’s deferred compensation plan which is funded through the purchase of life insurance policies with the Company named as beneficiary.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $16.5 as compared to $15.4 for the year ago period. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 36.5% and 38.4%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 differs primarily from the combined statutory rates due to the impact of the varying state income tax rates, federal and state research and development tax credits, Qualified Production Activities deduction, and exclusions for company-owned life insurance proceeds and tax-exempt interest income. The effective rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 decreased from the prior year primarily from an increase in the statutory deduction for Qualified Production Activities, a deduction related to tax-exempt interest income and an exclusion for company-owned life insurance proceeds. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 differed from the combined statutory rates primarily due to the impact of federal and state research and development tax credits. The effective rate for the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 also included a benefit from the Qualified Production Activities Deduction, which was mostly offset by non-deductible option expense related to incentive stock options.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations has historically been our primary source of cash and has primarily been driven by our net income and secondarily by non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization of capitalized software, provisions for bad debts, net deferred income taxes and stock option expenses.

Net Income

As referenced in the above table, net income makes up the majority of our cash generated from operations for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Our NextGen Division’s contribution to net income has increased each year due to that division’s operating income increasing more quickly than the Company as a whole.

Non-Cash expenses

For the nine months ended December 31, 2007, non-cash expenses primarily include $1.8 million of depreciation, $ 3.1 million of amortization of capitalized software and $3.0 million of stock option expenses offset by a $1.1 million benefit from deferred income taxes. Total non-cash expense was approximately $6.8 million and $8.2 million for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Cash from operations benefited from increases in deferred revenue primarily due to an increase in the volume of implementation and maintenance services invoiced by the NextGen

Division which had not yet been rendered or recognized as revenue, but for which cash was received. Deferred revenue grew by approximately $1.8 million in the nine month period ending December 31, 2007 versus $4.6 million in the prior year period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable grew by approximately $9.0 million and $15.1 million in the nine month periods ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable in both periods is due to the following factors:

•	NextGen Division revenue grew 23.3% and 38.7% on a year over year basis, in the nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively;

•	The NextGen Division constituted a larger percentage of our receivables at December 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2007. Turnover of accounts receivable in the NextGen Division is slower than the QSI Division due to the fact that the majority of the QSI Division’s revenue is coming from maintenance and EDI services which typically have shorter payment terms than systems sales related revenue which historically have accounted for a major portion of NextGen Division sales; and

•	We experienced an increase in the volume of undelivered services billed in advance by the NextGen Division which were unpaid as of the end of each period and included in accounts receivable. This resulted in an increase in both deferred revenue and accounts receivable of approximately $0.2 million in the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 and approximately $7.5 million in the nine month period ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

The turnover of accounts receivable measured in terms of days sales outstanding (DSO) increased from 129 days to 138 days during the nine month period ended December 31, 2007, due, in part, to the above mentioned factors. The beginning DSO figure of 129 days was relatively low due to a significant increase in revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 which contributed to a lower beginning DSO calculation. DSO increased from 122 days to 140 days during the nine month period ended December 30, 2006, primarily due to the above mentioned factors. The nine month period ended December 31, 2006 was also negatively impacted by an increase in accounts receivable with one significant customer. DSOs can also be impacted by the effectiveness of the collection staff. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of the staffing factor.

If amounts included in both accounts receivable and deferred revenue were netted, the Company’s turnover of accounts receivable expressed as DSO would be 90 days as of December 31, 2007 and 81 days as of December 31, 2006, respectively. Provided turnover of accounts receivable, deferred revenue, and profitability remain consistent with the first nine months ended December 31, 2007, we anticipate being able to continue to generate cash from operations during fiscal 2008 primarily from the net income of the Company.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $53.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities is a result of the Company’s net purchases of short-term investments in ARS of approximately $48.4 million. As discussed above, these ARS are classified as short-term investments on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition to purchases and sales of marketable securities, net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 consisted of additions to equipment and improvements and capitalized software. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 consisted of additions to equipment and improvements and capitalized software.

Cash flows from financing activities

During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, we received proceeds of $3.9 million from the exercise of stock options, paid dividends totaling $13.6 million, and recorded a reduction in income tax liability of $1.3 million related to tax deductions received from employee stock option exercises. The benefit was recorded as additional paid in capital.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities

At December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30.0 million and marketable securities of $48.4 million. We intend to expend some of these 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. We have no additional significant current capital commitments.

In January 2007, our Board of Directors adopted a policy whereby we intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on our outstanding common stock commencing with conclusion of our first fiscal quarter of 2008 (June 30, 2007) and continuing each fiscal quarter thereafter, subject to further review and approval as well as establishment of record and distribution dates by our Board of Directors prior to the declaration of each such quarterly dividend. We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by the Board pursuant to this policy, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each of the months of October, January, April and July.

On July 31, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per share payable on its outstanding shares of common stock. The cash dividend record date was September 14, 2007 and was distributed to shareholders on or about October 5, 2007.

On October 25, 2007, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share on our outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of December 14, 2007 with an expected distribution date on or about January 7, 2008.

On January 30, 2008, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share on our outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of March 14, 2008 with an expected distribution date on or about April 7, 2008.

Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2007, together with its marketable securities and cash flows from operations, if any, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements as well as any dividends paid in the ordinary course of business for the balance of fiscal 2008.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2007, and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods:

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have a significant amount of cash and short-term investments. This cash and investment portfolio exposes us to interest rate risk as short-term investment rates can be volatile. Given the short-term maturity structure of our cash portfolio and the short term reset dates of our ARS, we believe that it is not subject to principal fluctuations and the effective interest rate of our portfolio tracks closely to various short-term money market interest rate benchmarks.

As of December 31, 2007, we had short-term investments in tax exempt ARS of approximately $48.4 million. The ARS are rated AAA or AA by one or more national rating agencies and have contractual terms of up to 30 years, but generally have interest rate reset dates that occur every 7, 28 or 35 days and despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, management anticipates having the opportunity to liquidate these securities at ongoing auctions which are held in conjunction with the interest reset dates every 35 days or less. The investments in ARS are classified as available-for-sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investments are recorded at cost which approximates fair market value due to their variable interest rates, which typically resets every 7, 28 or 35 days. As a result, no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains/losses from the investments have been realized. All income generated from these investments is recorded as interest income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures result in the effective recordation, processing, summarization and reporting of information that is required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, no significant changes have occurred in our “internal controls 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 financial reporting function. We are performing ongoing evaluations and enhancements to our internal controls system.
