                             LANVISION SYSTEMS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules
and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. These
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the LanVision Systems,
Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission File Number 0-28132. Operating
results for the three months ended April 30, 2000, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
January 31, 2001.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented
beginning on page 20 of its 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders. Users of
financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the
footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim
financial results. There has been no material change in the accounting policies
followed by the Company during 2000.

Note 3 - CHANGES IN BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT BALANCES

The increase in cash and cash equivalents results primarily from the sale of the
data center (discussed below) and the collection of accounts receivable
subsequent to January 31, 2000.

The note receivable, in the amount of $750,000, represents the remaining balance
of a $900,000 note received from the buyer of the data center, and is payable
$75,000 per month, plus interest on the unpaid balance, through February, 2001.

The decrease in accounts receivables, net is due to lower revenues in the
current quarter compared to the prior quarter ended January 31, 2000 and the
collection, during the first quarter, of receivables outstanding at January 31,
2000.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Other current assets consist of software and hardware awaiting installation
(related to unrecognized revenue) and prepaid expenses, including commissions.
Other current assets increased primarily due to an advance to a vendor.

The decrease in property and equipment, net, is the result of the sale of the
Company's data center on February 11, 2000 for $2,000,000 in cash and a $900,000
note receivable. The sale generated a gain of approximately $1,400,000. The
Company simultaneously entered into a service provider agreement with the buyer
to continue to use the data center on a fee for service basis.

Other non-current assets consist primarily of prepaid long-term debt closing
costs, which are amortized to expense over the life of the loan.

The decrease in accounts payable is due to the payment, subsequent to January
31, 2000, of year end purchases.

The decrease in accrued compensation results from a reduction in headcount
during the first quarter and the payment of year end bonuses.

Note 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

During the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Company granted
195,000 stock options under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan at an exercise
price of $1.50 per share. During the same period 68,500 options were forfeited
under all plans.

Note 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation, includes the effect
of the common stock equivalents (stock options) in fiscal year 2000, but
excludes such common stock equivalents in fiscal 1999, as the inclusion thereof
would be antidilutive.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

LanVision is an e-Health Application Service Provider and leading supplier of
Healthcare Information Access Systems specializing in connectivity solutions
that utilize the power of the Internet/Intranet to link hospitals, physicians,
patients and payers to a robust Electronic Medical Record. The Company's
products are complementary to existing clinical and financial systems, and use
document imaging and workflow tools to ensure end users can electronically
access all the various forms of healthcare information including clinician's
handwritten notes, lab reports, photographs, insurance cards, etc. LanVision's
e-Health solutions offer value to all of the constituents in the healthcare
delivery process by enabling them to simultaneously access information from
virtually any location, including the physician's desktop using Web browser
technology. Web access to the entire medical record improves physician
productivity and reduces administrative costs such as filing, storage, retrieval
and upkeep of medical records and clinical costs, such as redundant diagnostic
testing. The system enables healthcare providers to access, on a real-time
basis, all the various forms of clinical and financial patient information from
a single permanent healthcare information repository. The Company's solutions
integrate a proprietary document imaging platform, application suites, and image
and Web-enabling tools, that allow for the seamless merger of "back office"
functionality with existing Clinical Information Systems at the desktop. The
Company offers a robust document imaging/management infrastructure (Foundation
Suite) that is built for high volume transaction processing and is optimized for
the healthcare industry. In addition to providing the clinician access to
information not previously available at the desktop, the Company's applications
fulfill the administrative and legal needs of the Medical Records and Patient
Financial Services departments. Furthermore, these systems have been
specifically designed to integrate with any Clinical Information System. For
example, the Company has integrated its products with selected systems from
Shared Medical Systems Corporation, Cerner Corporation, IDX Systems Corporation,
and Oacis Healthcare Holdings Corp. By offering electronic access to all the
components of the Medical Record, this integration completes one of the most
difficult tasks necessary to provide a true Computer Based Patient Record. The
Company's systems deliver on-line enterprisewide access to fully-updated patient
information which historically was maintained on a variety of media, including
paper, magnetic disk, optical disk, x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm.



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

Historically, the Company has derived its revenues from system sales involving
the licensing of its Electronic Medical Record solution to Integrated Healthcare
Delivery Networks ("IDN"). In a typical transaction, the Company enters into a
perpetual license or service fee arrangement for the Company's Electronic
Medical Record software suite and licenses, sells or offers a service fee
arrangement for other third party software and hardware components to the IDN.
Additionally, the Company provides professional services, including
implementation, training and product support.

With respect to systems sales, the Company earns its highest margins on
proprietary LanVision software and the lowest margins on third-party hardware.
Systems sales to customers may include different configurations of software and
hardware, resulting in varying margins among contracts. The margins on
professional services revenues are expected to fluctuate based upon the
negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer and the Company's ability
to fully utilize its professional services, maintenance and support services
staff.

Beginning in 1998, the Company began offering customers the ability to obtain
its Electronic Medical Record solution on a service bureau/e-Health basis. The
Company's Virtual Healthware Services ("VHS") division established a centralized
data center and installed the Company's Electronic Medical Record suite within
the data center. Under this arrangement, customers electronically capture
information and transmit the data to the centralized data center. The VHS
division stores and manages the data using LanVision's Electronic Medical Record
suite, and customers can view, print or fax the information from anywhere using
the LanVision Web-based applications.

VHS charges and recognizes revenue for these e-Health services on a per
transaction or subscription basis as information is captured, stored, and
retrieved.

In February, 2000, the Company sold its centralized data center for $2,900,000.
Simultaneous therewith, the Company entered into a service agreement with the
buyer. Under the terms of this service agreement, in exchange for processing
fees, the Company will continue to use the data center to provide outsourcing
services to LanVision's current and future customers. Although LanVision sold
the data center assets, the Company does intend to continue to market its
e-Health solutions. The Company will provide these solutions by continuing to
use the data center and by using other data center service providers.

The decision by a healthcare provider to replace, substantially modify or
upgrade its information systems is a strategic decision and often involves a
large capital commitment requiring an extended approval process. Since
inception, the Company has experienced extended sales cycles, which has
adversely affected revenues. It is common for sales cycles to take six to
eighteen months from initial contact to the execution of an agreement. As a
result, the sales cycles can cause significant variations in quarter to quarter
operating results. These agreements cover the entire implementation of the
system and specify the implementation schedule, which typically takes place in
one or more phases. The agreements generally provide for the licensing of the
Company's proprietary software and third-party software with a one-time
perpetual license fee that is adjusted depending on the number of workstations
using the software. Third-party hardware is usually sold outright, with a
one-time fee charged for installation and training. Site-specific customization,
interfaces with existing customer systems and other consulting services are sold
on a fixed fee or a time and



                                       10

materials basis. Alternatively, with the Company's e-Health services, the
agreements generally provide for utilizing the Company's software and third
party software on a fee per transaction or subscription basis.

Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when an agreement is signed
and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine installation,
integration and project management is deferred until the work is performed. If
an agreement requires the Company to perform services and modifications that are
deemed significant to system acceptance, revenue is recorded either on the
percentage-of-completion method or revenue related to the delivered hardware and
software components is deferred until such obligations are deemed insignificant,
depending on the contractual terms. Revenues from consulting, training and
services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from short-term
support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the
agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of the
revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to
progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables.

The Company's VHS e-Health/Application Service Provider division was designed to
overcome obstacles in the buying decision such as large capital commitment,
length of implementation, and the scarcity of time for Healthcare Information
Systems personnel to implement new systems. Customers pay for such services on a
transaction basis, and the centralized data center application is operated and
maintained by LanVision personnel and/or its agents. In 1999, VHS signed a
four-year contract with The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, a group of
five hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati Area, to provide outsourced data center
operations of its LanVision Electronic Medical Record System. Management
believes more IDN's will begin to look for this type of e-Health application.
Additionally, the Company believes its business model is especially well suited
for the ambulatory marketplace. LanVision is actively pursuing remarketing
agreements with Healthcare Information Systems providers to distribute the
Company's e-Health solutions.

In 1998, the Company entered into a Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical
Systems Corporation ("SMS"). Under the terms of the agreement, SMS was granted
an exclusive worldwide license to distribute ChartVision(R), On-Line Chart
Completion(TM), WebView(TM) and Enterprisewide Correspondence(TM) to the SMS
customer base and prospect base, as defined in the agreement, and a
non-exclusive license to distribute all other LanVision products. If SMS
distributes any other Electronic Medical Record product competing with
LanVision's products, the Company may terminate the SMS Remarketing Agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, SMS remits royalties to LanVision based upon
SMS sublicensing the Company's software to SMS's customers. Twenty-five percent
of the royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS
executes the end user license agreement with its customer. LanVision recognizes
this revenue upon receipt of the royalty statement. The remaining 75% of the
royalty is due upon SMS's shipment of software to the end user. LanVision
records this revenue when the 75% payment due from SMS is fixed and
determinable, which is generally when the software is shipped to the end user.
Through April 31, 2000, SMS has sold nine systems to end-users.

UNEVEN PATTERNS OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS

The Company's revenues from systems sales have varied, and may continue to vary,
significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of the volume and timing of
systems sales and delivery. Professional services revenues also fluctuate from
quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of the installation of software and
hardware, project management and customized programming. Revenues from
maintenance services do not fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, but
have been increasing as the number of customers' increase. Revenues from the VHS
service bureau operations are expected to increase over time, as more hospitals
outsource services to VHS, its existing customer increases the volume of
documents stored on the systems, and the number of retrievals increase.

The Company's revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter
to quarter as a result of a number of other factors, many of which are outside
the Company's control. These factors include the relatively high purchase price
of a system, unpredictability in the number and timing of systems sales, length
of the sales cycle, delays in the installation process and changes in the
customer's financial condition or budget. As a result, period to period
comparisons may not be meaningful with respect to the past operations of the
Company nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operations of the
Company.


REVENUES

Revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2000, were $1,812,738,
compared with $2,372,048 reported in the comparable quarter of 1999. Revenues
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 continued to be affected because many
healthcare organizations deferred new software purchases until all of their
existing systems were Year 2000 compliant.

Additionally, healthcare institutions are assessing and implementing many new
technologies. Although many of these systems do not compete with the LanVision
products, these systems do compete for capital budget dollars and the available
time of information systems personnel within the healthcare industries. Also,
the Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical Systems Corporation continues to
develop more slowly than expected. However, management continues to believe that
revenue from this Remarketing Agreement will increase and represent a greater
percentage of the Company's total revenues in the future.

After an agreement is executed, LanVision does not record revenues until it
delivers the hardware and software or performs the agreed upon services. The
commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and complexity
of the system and the scheduling of the implementation, training, interface
development and other services requested by the customer. Accordingly,
significant variations in revenues can result as more fully discussed under
"Uneven Patterns of Quarterly Operating Results." Three customers accounted for
approximately 39% of the revenues for the first quarter of 2000 compared with
36% of revenues in the comparable period of the prior year.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Cost of Systems Sales

The cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software
development costs on a straight-line basis, royalties and the cost of
third-party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of
systems sales may vary from period to period depending on the mix of hardware
and software of the systems or add-on sales delivered. The cost of systems sales
as a percentage of systems sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999
were 63% and 47%, respectively. The higher cost reflects the lower mix of
LanVision software with higher margins relative to the hardware and third party
software components with lower margins and higher costs.

Cost of Services, Maintenance and Support

The cost of services, maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits
for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third-party
maintenance contracts. As a percentage of services, maintenance and support
revenues, the cost of such services, maintenance and support was 69% and 72% for
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The improvement in the
cost of sales is due to reduced operating expenses and more effective
utilization of the professional services and support staffs. The Company's
support margins are highest on LanVision's proprietary software. Accordingly,
margins are expected to improve as more customers are added.

The LanVision Professional Services staff provides services on a time and
material or fixed fee basis. The Professional Services staff has, in the past,
experienced some inefficiencies in the delivery of services, and certain
projects have taken longer to complete than originally estimated, thus adversely
affecting operating performance. Additionally, the Professional Services staff
does spend a portion of its time on non-billable activities, such as selling
additional products and services to existing clients, developing training
courses and plans to move existing customers to LanVision's new product
releases, etc. Management believes an increase in the number of new systems sold
and the related backlog should improve the overall efficiency and operating
performance of this group.

Cost of Service Bureau Operations

The cost of service bureau operations was significantly reduced with the sale of
the data center. (See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, above.) The Company now incurs expenses only for the outsourcing
services it uses which are directly related to the Service Bureau Revenues
generated by the VHS division.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of: compensation
and related benefits and reimbursable travel and living expenses related to the
Company's sales, marketing



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

and administrative personnel; advertising and marketing expenses, including
trade shows and similar type sales and marketing expenses; and general corporate
expenses, including occupancy costs. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $839,508 compared with
$1,261,239 in the comparable prior quarter. The reductions in Selling, General
and Administrative expenses is due to decreased staffing levels and reduced
expenses in other areas. The Company has gradually reduced its direct sales
staff as the Company focuses its sales efforts on indirect distribution through
its current and future Remarketing Partners. However, the Company may increase
its direct sales force in the foreseeable future as market opportunities arise.

Product Research and Development

Product research and development expenses consist primarily of: compensation and
related benefits; the use of independent contractors for specific development
projects; and an allocated portion of general overhead costs, including
occupancy. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, research and development
expenses were $467,371 compared with $546,012 in the comparable prior quarter as
a result of a reduction of staff and use of outside contractors, and an increase
in capitalized software for new products under development. The Company is in
the process of increasing its Research and Development staff to accelerate the
development of new products. The Company capitalized, in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, $105,000 and $75,000 of
product research and development costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and
1999, respectively.

Interest income consists primarily of interest on invested cash. The increase in
interest income results from increased cash balances and higher interest rates.

Interest expense relates to the long-term debt.

Operating loss

The operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $702,020 compared
with an operating loss of $1,227,131 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The
decrease in the operating loss results primarily from: (1) continued stringent
cost controls, and (2) the sale of the data center and the reduction in the
associated expenses related thereto which approximated $318,000.

Other income, net

Other income, net of $1,352,718 relates to the disposal of fixed assets,
primarily the data center. (See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements, above.)

Net income (loss)

The net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $314,829 ($0.04 per
share) compared with a net loss of $1,559,020 ($.0.18 per share) in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999. Excluding the gain on the sale of the data center, the
net loss for the current quarter would have been $1,037,889, a decrease of
$521,131 from the comparable loss in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
reduction



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

results primarily from: (1) the continued stringent cost controls in all areas,
and (2) the sale of the data center which resulted in an approximately $318,000
reduction in expenses related to the data center operations.

Notwithstanding the less than anticipated number of new customer agreements
signed in the past, management continues to believe that the healthcare document
imaging and workflow market is going to be a significant market. Management
believes it has made the investments in the talent and technology necessary to
establish the Company as a leader in this marketplace, and continues to believe
the Company is well positioned to experience significant revenue growth
primarily through third party distributors and remarketing partners.

Since commencing operations in 1989, the Company has incurred operating losses.
Although the Company achieved profitability in fiscal years 1992 and 1993, the
Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994 through 1999. In view of the
Company's prior operating history, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to achieve consistent profitability on a quarterly or annual basis
or that it will be able to sustain or increase its revenue growth in future
periods. Based upon the expenses associated with current and planned staffing
levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing revenues.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since its inception in 1989, the Company has funded its operations, working
capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash
generated by operations, a 1994 private placement of convertible redeemable
preferred stock, an initial public offering and borrowings, including a
$6,000,000 loan in 1998.

The Company's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or
medical facilities with good credit histories, and payments have been received
within normal time frames for the industry. However, some healthcare
organizations have experienced significant operating losses as a result of
limits on third-party reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental
entities. Agreements with customers often involve significant amounts and
contract terms typically require customers to make progress payments.

The Company has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than
noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $455,000,
net of a sublease, payable over the next three years.

Over the last several years, the Company's revenues have been less than the
Company's internal plans. However, during the same period, the Company has
expended significant amounts for capital expenditures, product research and
development, sales, support and consulting expenses. This resulted in
significant net cash outlays over the last four years. Although the Company has
reduced staffing levels and related expenses, and improved operating
performance, the Company's expenses continue to exceed its revenues.
Accordingly, to achieve profitability, and positive cash flow, it is necessary
for the Company to increase revenues or continue to reduce expenses. Management
believes that the general release of enhanced products has significantly



                                       15
<PAGE>   16

strengthened the product lines. Additionally, the SMS Remarketing Agreement has
significantly expanded the sales distribution capabilities, and management
believes that market opportunities are such that the Company should be able to
increase its revenues. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be
able to increase its revenues.

At April 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,550,241. Cash
equivalents consist primarily of overnight bank repurchase agreements and
short-term commercial paper. Under the terms of its loan agreement, as amended,
the Company has agreed to maintain a minimum cash and investment balance of
$4,500,000, which increases by $75,000 per month, which is equal to the Note
Receivable payment, until February, 2001, at which time the minimum balance must
be $5,300,000.

Management has significantly reduced operating expenses, and believes the
Company can improve operating results in fiscal 2000. However, based upon
current expenditure levels and in the absence of increased revenues, the Company
would continue to operate at a loss. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future,
management will need to continually assess its revenue prospects compared to its
current expenditure levels. If it does not appear likely that revenues will
increase, it may be necessary to further reduce operating expenses or raise cash
through additional borrowings, the sale of assets, or other equity financing.
Certain of these actions will require lender approval. However, there can be no
assurance the Company will be successful in any of these efforts. If it is
necessary to significantly reduce operating expenses, this could have an adverse
affect on future operating performance.

To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or
expenses. Additionally, the Company does not have any significant market risk
exposure at April 30, 2000.


SIGNED AGREEMENTS - BACKLOG

LanVision enters into master agreements with its customers to specify the scope
of the system to be installed and services to be provided by LanVision, the
agreed upon aggregate price and the timetable for implementation. The master
agreement typically provides that the Company will deliver the system in phases
pursuant to the customer's purchase orders, thereby allowing the customer
flexibility in the timing of its receipt of systems and to make adjustments that
may arise based upon changes in technology or changes in customer needs. The
master agreement also allows the customer to request additional components as
the installation progresses, which additions are then separately negotiated as
to price and terms. Historically, customers have ultimately purchased systems
and services in addition to those originally contemplated by the master
agreement, although there can be no assurance that this trend will continue in
the future.

At April 30, 2000, the Company's customers (excluding customers of the Virtual
Healthware Services division) had entered into master agreements for systems and
services (excluding support and maintenance) which had not yet been delivered,
installed and accepted which, if fully performed, would generate sales of
approximately $5,686,000, compared with approximately $4,551,000 at the end of
fiscal 1999. The systems and services are currently expected to be delivered
over the next two to three years. In addition, the Company anticipates
approximately



                                       16
<PAGE>   17

$2,900,000 in transaction-based fee revenues for the Virtual Healthware Services
division's client over the remaining forty-one month life of the contract.
Because implementation and service bureau fees are dependent upon the customer's
schedule and usage, the Company is unable to predict accurately the amount of
revenues in future periods.

The Company's master agreements also generally provide for an initial
maintenance period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance
and support services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance and
support revenues for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 and 1997 were approximately
$3,264,000, $2,755,000 and $2,151,000, respectively and are expected to increase
as new or expanded systems are installed.

The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and
complexity of the system, the implementation schedule requested by the customer
and usage by customers of the VHS service bureau operations. Therefore,
LanVision is unable to accurately predict the revenue it expects to achieve in
any particular period. The Company's master agreements generally provide that
the customer may terminate its agreement upon a material breach by the Company,
or may delay certain aspects of the installation. There can be no assurance that
a customer will not cancel all or any portion of master agreement or delay
installations. A termination or installation delay of one or more phases of an
agreement, or the failure of the Company to procure additional agreements, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
