               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared by the Company
without audit. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a
normal recurring nature, except for the effects of the Recapitalization effected
by the Company in January 1996 and the Company's initial public offering in
April 1996, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods
indicated. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 which are contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
September 30, 1997.

2. COMPUTATION OF PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number
of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.
Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations where the
effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Net income per share for the three
and nine month periods ended June 30, 1996, on a pro forma basis, gives effect
to the Company's Recapitalization and the issuance of common stock in the
initial public offering. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83 ("SAB 83") all common and common
equivalent shares and other potentially dilutive instruments, including stock
options, warrants and preferred stock issued during the twelve-month period
prior to the effective date (April 18, 1996) of the Company's registration
statement for its initial public offering have been included in the calculation
as if they were outstanding for all periods presented.

3. EQUITY INVESTMENT

On January 31, 1997, the Company acquired a 19.5% equity interest in
HealthVISION, Inc. for $6 million in cash. HealthVISION is a provider of
electronic medical record software based in Santa Rosa, California. This
investment is being accounted for on the cost basis.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per
Share". SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
("EPS") and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997, including interim periods. SFAS 128 requires restatement of all
prior-period EPS data presented. Management has not yet determined the impact of
SFAS 128 on the Company's financial statements.

5. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

In the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred an extraordinary
loss of $2,149,000 representing the after tax effect of the write-off of
$3,642,000 of unamortized capitalized financing costs. These costs were
attributable to indebtedness incurred in the Recapitalization that was repaid
out of the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.

6. PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (issued in connection with the
Recapitalization on January 24, 1996) were entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor,
preferential cumulative dividends at the rate of 12% per annum. The Company was
not obligated to pay dividends prior to the redemption of the Series A Preferred
Stock, and no dividends were declared by the Board. The Series A Preferred Stock
was subject to mandatory redemption, provided funds were legally available
therefor, upon the closing of an initial public offering or the sale of the
Company, but in no event later than January 2006. Upon the closing of the
Company's initial public offering, on April 23, 1996, at which time funds became
legally available for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and payment
of dividends, the Company redeemed in full the Series A Preferred Stock and
accrued and paid dividends thereon from the date of the Recapitalization.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------

This document contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may contribute
to such differences include those listed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, File
No. 0-28182.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included herein and the notes thereto as well as the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.

OVERVIEW
- --------

The Company provides integrated clinical and financial decision support systems
to hospitals, integrated delivery systems and other health care institutions.
The Company was founded in 1985 to apply management control techniques to the
health care delivery process, with the objective of improving quality and
lowering costs.

The Company has experienced a seasonal pattern in its operating results, in
which the first quarter of each fiscal year typically has the lowest revenue and
net income, frequently lower than the last quarter of the previous fiscal year,
and the fourth quarter typically has the highest revenue and net income. While
the Company has taken steps to moderate this seasonal pattern, there can be no
assurance that it will be able to eliminate the seasonality of its operating
results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

REVENUES

The Company's total revenues increased 24% to $12.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $10.1 million for the same period in the prior year.
For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, total revenues increased 28% to $30.9
million from $24.2 million for the same nine month period in the prior year.
Software and implementation revenue increased 25% to $9.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $7.7 million for the same period in the prior
year and increased 30% to $22.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997
from $17.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in
software and implementation revenue was due primarily to increased market
penetration of the Company's mid-range and mainframe products and continued
increases in add-on software sales to its existing customer base. Maintenance
revenue increased 22% to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
from $2.4 million for the same period in the prior year, and increased 22% to
$8.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $6.8 million for the
same period in the prior year. The growth in maintenance revenue is attributable
to the growth in the Company's installed base.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of software and implementation revenue consists primarily of the cost of
third-party software that is resold by the Company or included in the Company's
products, personnel costs, the cost of related benefits, travel and living
expenses, costs of materials and other costs related to the installation and
implementation of the Company's products, and amortization of capitalized
software development costs. Cost of maintenance revenue consists primarily of
maintenance costs associated with the third-party software included in the
Company's products and personnel costs incurred in providing maintenance and
technical support services to the Company's customers.

Cost of software and implementation revenue increased 43% to $2.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.8 million for the same period in
the prior year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, cost of software and
implementation revenue increased 37% to $7.3 million from $5.3 million for the
same period last year. As a percentage of software and implementation revenue,
cost of software and implementation revenue increased to 27% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from 24% for the same period in the prior year, and
increased to 32% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 from 31% for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in spending was primarily due to a net
increase of twenty-one persons in the Company's implementation staff, as well as
higher third-party software costs.

Cost of maintenance revenue decreased 9% to $0.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $0.8 million for the same period in the prior year, and
decreased 11% to $2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.3
million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of maintenance
revenue, cost of maintenance revenue decreased to 25% from 34% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively, and decreased to 25%
from 34% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the reorganization of the
Company's technical support department. Several employees in the technical
support department were reassigned to research and development due to the
maturation of the Company's midrange product, reducing support needs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expense increased 16% to $0.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.8 million for the same period in the prior
year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, research and development expenses
increased 11% to $2.7 million from $2.4 million for the same period in the prior
year. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expense
remained constant at 8% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and
decreased to 9% from 10% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in spending was mainly due to the reorganization of
the Company's technical support department. This increase was partly offset by
an increased investment in research and development resources for the continued
development of additional products to compliment the Company's existing product
line. The decrease as a percentage of revenues from the nine month period ended
June 30, 1996 was mainly due to the Company's investment in technology and
development tools in prior years, resulting in increased productivity and less
rapid growth in research and development expenditures. The Company expects that
research and development expenses will increase as a percentage of revenue in
future periods as new development projects are undertaken.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expense increased 75% to $2.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $1.2 million for the same period in the prior year, and
increased 60% to $5.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 from $3.2
million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total
revenues, sales and marketing expense increased to 16% for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from 11% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
increased to 16% from 13% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
respectively. The increase was primarily due to a net increase of twelve new
sales and sales support personnel. Sales commissions also increased over the
prior year due to increased sales volume.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expense increased 25% to $1.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.8 million for the same period in the prior
year, and increased 50% to $3.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997
from $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of
total revenues, general and administrative expense remained constant at 8% for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and increased to 10% from 8% for
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to increased costs related to being a publicly-traded company, and
expenses related to Enterprising HealthCare, Inc., which the Company acquired in
July 1996.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Other operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 included a
compensation charge of $3.0 million arising from the acquisition by the Company,
in connection with the January 1996 Recapitalization, of shares of Common Stock
issued to certain executive officers pursuant to the exercise of options.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $0.7 million,
compared to $0.5 million in interest income and $0.3 million in interest expense
for the same period in the prior year. During the nine months ended June 30,
1997, the Company had $1.8 million in interest income compared to $0.7 million
in interest income and $1.2 million in interest expense for the same period in
the prior year. The increase in interest income, and the decrease in interest
expense is related to the extinguishment in April 1996 of the debt related to
the January 1996 Recapitalization, as well as the interest income earned on the
cash balances that the Company generated from operations and the proceeds of the
Company's April 1996 initial public offering.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 40% for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997 from 41% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease
was primarily attributable to the tax benefit obtained by the Company's
investing a portion of its cash in tax exempt securities during the current
year.

EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred an
extraordinary loss of $2.1 million representing the after tax effect of the
write-off of $3.6 million of unamortized capitalized financing costs
attributable to indebtedness incurred in the Recapitalization that was repaid
out of the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.

PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (issued in connection with the
Recapitalization on January 24, 1996) were entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor,
preferential cumulative dividends at the rate of 12% per annum. The Company was
not obligated to pay dividends prior to the redemption of the Series A Preferred
Stock, and no dividends were declared by the Board. The Series A Preferred Stock
was subject to mandatory redemption, provided funds were legally available
therefor, upon the closing of an initial public offering or the sale of the
Company, but in no event later than January 2006. Upon the closing of the
Company's initial public offering, on April 23, 1996, at which time funds became
legally available for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and payment
of dividends, the Company redeemed in full the Series A Preferred Stock and
accrued and paid dividends thereon from the date of the Recapitalization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $54.4 million at June 30, 1997 from $51.5
million at September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to cash
provided by operations, which was partially offset by the Company's January 1997
acquisition of a 19.5% equity interest in HealthVISION for $6 million in cash.


The Company believes that available funds, cash generated from operations and
its unused line of credit of $15 million, will be sufficient to finance the
Company's operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next
twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not
require additional financing during that time or thereafter.
