Annual Meeting of Stockholders
April 27, 1999
----------------------------------------------------
PROXY STATEMENT
----------------------------------------------------
Information Concerning Solicitation and Voting
General
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of Integral Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") for the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Annual
Meeting") to be held at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 27, 1999, at Patuxent Greens
Country Club, located at 14415 Greensview Drive, Laurel, Maryland or any
adjournment or adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in
the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting.
These Proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about March 30, 1999
to all stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
Record Date; Outstanding Shares
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 1999 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual
Meeting. The outstanding voting securities of the Company as of the Record Date
consisted of 5,919,256 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"). For information regarding holders of more than 5%
of the outstanding Common Stock, see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management."
Revocability of Proxies
The enclosed Proxy is revocable at any time before its use by delivering to
the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date. If a stockholder who has executed and returned a proxy is present
at the Annual Meeting and wishes to vote in person, he or she may elect to do so
and thereby suspend the power of the proxy holders to vote his or her proxy.
Voting and Solicitation
Every stockholder of record on the Record Date is entitled, for each share
held, to one vote on each proposal or item that comes before the meeting. All
shares represented at the Annual Meeting by a proxy will be voted in accordance
with the choices specified on the proxy. If no direction is given, proxies will
be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors set
1
<PAGE>
forth in this Proxy Statement. In the election of directors (Proposal 1), a
plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present
is sufficient to elect a director. Thus, each stockholder will be entitled to
vote for six nominees and the six nominees with the greatest number of votes
will be elected. The proposed amendment to the Articles of Restatement of the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles of Incorporation")
(Proposal 2) must be approved by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all votes
entitled to be cast on the matter.
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition,
the Company may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing
beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation
material to such beneficial owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of
the Company's directors, officers and regular employees, without additional
compensation, personally or by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail.
Quorum; Abstentions; and Broker Non-Votes
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the
shares entitled to be voted generally at the Annual Meeting is necessary to
constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. An abstaining vote and a broker
"non-vote" (a broker non-vote occurs if a broker or other nominee does not have
discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a
particular item) are counted as present and entitled to vote and are, therefore,
included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares exists. For
purposes of electing directors (Proposal 1), abstentions and broker non-votes
will not be treated as a vote cast and will not affect the outcome of such
votes. For purposes of approving the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
(Proposal 2), abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a
negative vote.
Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
Proposals of stockholders of the Company which are intended to be presented
by such stockholders at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of stockholders must
be received by the Company no later than December 1, 1999 in order that they may
be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.
Any such proposal should be addressed to the Company's Secretary, Robert P.
Sadler, and delivered to the Company's principal executive offices at 5000
Philadelphia Way, Suite A, Lanham, Maryland 20706-4417.
Annual Report
The Company's Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998, is being mailed to stockholders with these Proxy
solicitation materials. A copy of the Company's Annual Report, including the
financial statements and the financial statement schedules included therein, is
also available upon written request to the Company at 5000 Philadelphia Way,
Suite A, Lanham, Maryland 20706-4417, Attn: Robert P. Sadler, Corporate
Secretary.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Proposal 1)
General
A Board of Directors consisting of six directors is to be elected at the
Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote all of

nominated for election at the Annual Meeting are: Steven R. Chamberlain, Thomas
L. Gough, Dominic A. Laiti, R. Doss McComas, Robert P. Sadler and Bonnie K.
Wachtel (collectively, the "Nominees"). In the event that any of the Nominees
shall become unavailable, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a
substitute nominee. It is not expected that any Nominee will be unavailable.
The Bylaws of the Company provide that the number of members of the Board
of Directors shall consist of between three and seven directors. Each director
is elected for a one-year term at each annual meeting of the stockholders.
Directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until
successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected by the
Board of Directors. Each officer holds office until his or her successor is
elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or
removal.
The terms of each of the elected directors will expire at the next annual
meeting of stockholders or when their successors are elected and qualified.
The Board of Directors Unanimously Recommends That Stockholders Vote "For"
Each Of The Nominees.

own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership of the Company's Common Stock with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and Nasdaq. Based solely on a review of the copies of such
reports submitted to the Company during and with respect to the Company's most
recent fiscal year and written representations from the reporting persons that
no other reports were required, the Company believes that during the most recent
fiscal year and prior fiscal years (except as previously disclosed in prior

than ten percent stockholders filed on a timely basis all reports due under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee and the Stock

of Directors. The Board of Directors formed the Compensation Committee on May
8, 1998, which committee thereafter met concurrently with the meetings of the

The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Stock Option Committee are
comprised of Dominic A. Laiti, R. Doss McComas and Bonnie Wachtel, each a non-
employee director. Prior to May 8, 1998, the Stock Option Committee was
comprised of Bonnie K. Wachtel and Thomas L. Gough.

Plan, as amended and restated effective May 8, 1998 (the "Stock Option Plan").
The Audit Committee makes recommendations concerning the engagement of
independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants
the plan and results of the audit engagement, reviews the independence of the
Company's public accountants, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees
and reviews the adequacy of the Company's internal accounting controls. The
Compensation Committee determines the salary and bonus for the Chief Executive
Officer, and makes recommendations regarding compensation levels for other
officers of the Company.
Director Compensation
Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any compensation
for their service as directors. The Company pays each director who is not an
employee of the Company $5,000 per year for their services. Directors are
granted stock options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. Bonnie K. Wachtel was

executive officers of the Company.
Compensation Pursuant to Plans
The Compensation Committee determines the annual bonuses and salary awarded to
Steven R. Chamberlain. The Compensation Committee also makes recommendations
regarding compensation levels for other officers of the Company to Steven R.
Chamberlain, who determines the annual bonuses and salaries awarded to such
officers on a discretionary basis. Currently, no formal plan exists for
determining bonus amounts. Prior to the formation of the Compensation
Committee, the functions currently performed by such committee were performed by
the Board of Directors as a whole.
Effective October 1, 1987, the Company established a 401(k) pension and profit
sharing plan under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under such pension
and profit sharing plan, the Company contributes annually an amount equal to 5%
of an eligible employee's salary and may make additional contributions of up to
7.5% of an eligible employee's salary. The employee may contribute up to an
additional 10% as salary deferral. In each of fiscal years 1998 and 1997, the
Company contributed a total of 11% of eligible employees' salaries to both
plans.

Stock Option Plan
Effective May 25, 1988, the Company established the Stock Option Plan, as
amended and restated in 1994 and 1998, to create additional incentives for the
Company's employees, consultants and directors to promote the financial success
of the Company. The Stock Option Committee has the authority to select full-
time employees, directors or consultants to receive awards of options for the
purchase of stock of the Company under this plan. The maximum number of shares
of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan was
increased from 1,200,000 to 1,800,000 during fiscal year 1998. Options to
purchase a total of 98,308 shares of Common Stock were granted and options to
purchase 115,080 shares of Common Stock were exercised during fiscal year 1998.
The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to options issued and
outstanding as of December 31, 1998 were 949,122. Pursuant to the Stock Option
Plan, options may be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code or nonstatutory stock options, although incentive
stock options may be granted only to employees.
Termination of Employment and Change of Control Termination
The Company has no compensatory plan or arrangement with respect to any
individual named in the Summary Compensation Table which results or will result
from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of such individual's
employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or from a change in control of
the Company or a change in the individual's responsibilities following a change
in control.
AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
(Proposal 2)
The Board of Directors is requesting stockholder approval of an amendment to
Article Four of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number
of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Company from 10,000,000
to 40,000,000 shares (the "Charter Amendment"). As of the Record Date, 5,919,256
shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued and outstanding. In addition,
the Company has reserved for issuance 1,408,964 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, all of which shares have been reserved pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.
The Board of Directors has determined that it is advisable and in the best
interests of the Company to have additional shares of Common Stock available for
issuance. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed increase in the
number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance is desirable because
such an increase will enhance the Company's flexibility in connection with
possible future actions by the Company, such as stock splits, stock dividends,
financings, acquisitions or actions for other corporate purposes. The Board of
Directors does not have any current plans or proposals to issue any portion of
the shares to be authorized pursuant to the Charter Amendment. The Board of
Directors has approved the adoption of the Charter Amendment, subject to
stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
If the Charter Amendment is adopted, the additional shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance as a result of such amendment may be issued by direction
of the Board of Directors at such times, in such amounts, for such
consideration, and upon such terms as the Board of Directors may determine,
without further approval of the stockholders, unless in any specific instances
such approval is expressly required by regulatory agencies or otherwise.
Approval of the Charter Amendment by the stockholders could have an anti-
takeover effect, because additional shares of Common Stock could be issued
(within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that
could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. While
it may be deemed to have potential anti-takeover effects, the proposed Charter
Amendment is not prompted by any specific effort or takeover threat currently
perceived by management, and management does not presently
10
<PAGE>
intend to propose other anti-takeover measures. Additional shares could be
issued by the Company to persons who might side with the Board of Directors in
opposing a takeover bid that the Board determines is not in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders. Such an issuance could diminish the voting
power of existing stockholders who favor a change in control, and the ability to
issue the shares could discourage an attempt by another person or entity to
acquire control of the Company since the issuance of new shares of Common Stock
could be used to dilute the stock ownership of such person or entity. The Board
of Directors believes that the Charter Amendment would enable the Board of
Directors to use its discretion to protect stockholder value.
In addition, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock would dilute
the existing stockholders' equity interest in the Company. Stockholders of the
Company have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares. The Board of
Directors would carefully consider the potential benefits and detriments should
it contemplate any dilutive issuance of stock.
The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of the
Charter Amendment.
The Board of Directors Unanimously Recommends Voting "FOR" An Amendment To The
Articles Of Incorporation To Increase The Number Of Shares Of Common Stock
Authorized To 40,000,000.
OTHER MATTERS
There is no reason to believe that any other business will be presented at the
Annual Meeting; however, if any other business should properly and lawfully come
before the Annual Meeting, the proxies will vote in accordance with their best
judgment in such matters pursuant to discretionary authority granted in the
proxy.

March 5, 1999
To our Stockholders:
By any measure, 1998 was the best year in the 16 year history of Integral
Systems. I'd like to take a few moments to review our accomplishments last
year, and to discuss where the company is headed in 1999.
1998 Highlights
- ---------------
Fiscal 1998 was a year of dramatic growth. Revenues were up 40%, from $20.1
million in fiscal 1997 to $28 million in 1998. Net income rose even faster, up
200% from $630,000, or $0.11 per share, in 1997 to $1.9 million, or $0.33 per
share, in 1998. The bottom line is growing faster than the top line because we
are improving our margins on every component of revenue, including license
sales, services, and equipment pass-throughs.
The balance sheet is equally healthy: Our long-term debt is less than $1
million and shareholders' equity increased 38%, from $6.6 million in 1997 to
$9.1 million in 1998. Likewise, our sales and marketing effort really paid off
last year, as contract backlog jumped 65%, from $26 million at the end of 1997
to nearly $43 million at the end of 1998. This is the largest backlog in
corporate history.
Shareholder value continues to be at the top of our agenda. Our stock price was
up 185% for the 1998 calendar year, which compares quite favorably with the
Russell 2000 (-3%), the NASDAQ composite index (40%), and the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (16%). Our financial growth and our stock performance have
generated interest in the company from institutional investors and from the
media, including an article in a mid-November Investor's Business Daily that
showcased our COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) solutions and financial
performance. The following month, the cover story of the Washington Post's
Monday business section focused on technology stocks in the greater Washington
area, with Integral Systems and America Online cited as the only two area
technology companies to be ranked in the top 10 for the strongest returns over
five-, three-, two-, and one-year periods. In the same month, The Red Chip
Review and Fechtor, Detwiler & Co. both instituted coverage of our stock with
"buy" recommendations, so the investment community has greater visibility into
our stock than ever before.
1999 Outlook
- ------------
Our goals for 1999 are simple:
. Keep expanding our market share in the satellite command and control segment
. Leverage our core technology into other related markets
. Continue the trend of strong revenue growth with even stronger earnings
growth
The EPOCH software product line continues to be the cornerstone of our long-
range plans. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that all of our sales these
days are tied to EPOCH either directly or indirectly. Therefore, we will be
developing a new version of the product line for Windows NT this year. This
will help maintain our technical advantage over the competition, and let us
continue to ship software if Windows replaces UNIX as the operating system of
choice for command and control applications.
The EPOCH technology can be applied to several space market sectors in addition
to command and control. On October 1, 1998, we formed a new P&L (profit & loss)
center at Integral Systems--the I&T (Integration and Test) Division. This
division will focus on selling EPOCH software and EPOCH-based systems to
satellite and payload manufacturers for use during the pre-launch assembly and
test phase. The I&T division hit the ground running and has already received
contracts amounting to several million dollars. We have every reason to expect
that this will be a significant and lucrative new market for our
<PAGE>
products. The bottom line is that we are planning for growth across the board
in all three business units: Commercial, Government, and I&T.
I'd like to close with a request that you give special consideration to one of
the items in the enclosed proxy--namely, increasing the number of authorized
shares from 10 million to 40 million. Please note that this has no effect on
the numbers of shares actually issued, merely the number authorized. This
change has the unanimous endorsement of the Board of Directors and is essential
to our long-range plans. First and foremost, it gives us an opportunity to
acquire other companies on a stock-for-stock basis (i.e., no cash) should such
acquisition opportunities arise. There are potential acquisitions out there
which could make it easier for us to sell our software in new markets. Second,
it gives us room to split the stock again should we ever need to. And if we
stay on our growth projections, we may need to sooner rather than later--which
would be a nice problem to have.
Best wishes for 1999,
/s/
Steven R. Chamberlain
