                            TRANSITION SYSTEMS, INC.

               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 year ended September 30, 1996 which are contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, File No. 0-28182. The results of operations for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire 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
month period ended December 30, 1995, 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
filing 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.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January 31, 1997, the Company acquired a 19.5% ownership 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.

          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.

The Company's revenues are derived from sales of software licenses and related
implementation services and of software maintenance. Software and implementation
revenues are generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method
based principally upon progress and performance as measured by achievement of
contract milestones. Software maintenance fees, which are generally received
annually in advance, are recorded as deferred revenue on the Company's balance
sheet and are recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract.

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

REVENUES

The Company's total revenues increased 29% to $8.5 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 from $6.6 million for the same period in the prior year.
Software and implementation revenue increased 33% to $5.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 from $4.4 million for the same period in the
prior year. The increase in software and implementation revenue was due
primarily to growth in sales to integrated delivery systems and increased
penetration of the small hospital market through sales of the Company's AS/400
and UNIX products. Maintenance revenue increased 22% to $2.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 from $2.2 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 33% to $2.2 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 from $1.7 million for the same period
in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a net increase of
twenty-one persons in the Company's implementation staff. In addition, a greater
proportion of the Company's revenue was generated by products which contain a
higher third party royalty cost. Cost of maintenance revenue decreased 19% to
$0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996 from $0.8 million for
the same period in the prior year. 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 9% to $0.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 from $0.8 million for the same period in the
prior year. The increase was mainly due to the reorganization of the Company's
technical support department. This increase was partly offset by the transfer of
personnel in the product planning group from a research and development role in
fiscal 1996, to marketing in 1997.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expense increased 54% to $1.4 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 from $0.9 million for the same period in the prior year.
The increase was primarily due to a net increase of five new persons and the
transfer of personnel from research and development to marketing as market
segment managers. Commission expense was also higher in the three months ended
December 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to an
increase in contract signings.

<PAGE>   9


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expense increased 80% to $1.0 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 from $0.5 million for the same period in the
prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased costs related to
becoming a public company, a net increase of two new persons, and general and
administrative expenses related to Enterprising HealthCare, Inc., which the
Company acquired in July 1996.



NET INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

Net interest income increased 283% to $0.6 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 from $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The
increase was due to the significantly higher cash balance generated by the April
1996 initial public offering.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 40% for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 from 41% for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease was primarily attributed to the tax benefit obtained by the Company
investing a portion of its cash in tax exempt securities during the current
year.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $53.8 million at December 31, 1996 from
$51.5 million at September 30, 1996. The increase is attributable primarily to
the cash flow provided by operating activities during the current quarter.


The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale of common stock by the
Company in its initial public offering in April 1996, together with 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.
