NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
------------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, consolidated,
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and
cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such financial statements have
been condensed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and therefore, do not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 1998 included in the Company's annual
report filed on Form 10-KSB.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year.
2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:
-----------------------------
Basic earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") outstanding
for each period presented. In fiscal 1998 and for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock
equivalents is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using
the treasury stock method. For the six months ended December 31, 1998, common
stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of loss per share as the
effect would be anti-dilutive.
3. ACQUISITION:
------------
In September 1998, the Company acquired Informedics, Inc. ("Informedics")
in exchange for 439,525 shares of the Company's common stock on the basis of 1
Company share for each 6.3 Informedics shares. Informedics is developing a
Web-enabled software system technology and also develops, markets and supports
a line of stand-alone computer-based management information systems for use in
the blood bank and clinical departments of hospitals. The cost of the
acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, aggregated $7,100,000,
including acquisition costs of $801,000, assumed liabilities of $1,599,000 and
$4,700,000 of common stock issued and options assumed (based on the market
price of the Company's common stock in December 1997, when the acquisition
agreement was entered into). Assets acquired aggregated $2,547,000 including
$917,000 of goodwill, $498,000 of technology and $653,000 of cash.
<PAGE>
The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to
the merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of fiscal years 1998 and
1999. A one-time acquisition related charge of $4,553,000 for in-process
research and development which was recorded by the Company on consummation
of the acquisition and the fiscal 1998 reversal of net tax assets on
Informedics financial statements has not been considered in the pro forma
results. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the
results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place
during such periods.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
-----------------------------------
In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2).
SOP 97-2 is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. Retroactive application of the provisions of SOP
97-2 is prohibited.
Accordingly the Company has adopted SOP 97-2 in its financial statements
in the fiscal year ended June 1999. Such adoption had no effect on the
Company's results of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Certain statements made in or incorporating this 10-QSB are
forward-looking statements, such as descriptions of Mediware's intentions to
market new products, extend existing products, acquire or develop new
products, and utilize new channels of distribution. Such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include: (i) Mediware's past operating results, (ii) the wide
variability of Mediware's operating results, (iii) the market's acceptance of
the Company's WORx product, (iv) the intense competition in the hospital
computer software industry (v) the rapid and significant technological
advances in the computer software industry, which renders the obsolescence of
computer programs, including the Company's within a short time, (vi) the
effect of governmental regulation on the Company, (vii) the Company's
dependence upon its key employees, (viii) the Company's ability to manage its
rapid growth and (ix) the risks associated with the Company's international
operations. Amplification of such risks may be found in the "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
section herein and in the "Risk Factors" section of Mediware's Prospectus
contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-57693,
especially those under the headings "Need for Additional Financing",
"Variability of Operating Results", "Market Acceptance of new WORx Product",
"Competition", "Technological Obsolescence; Continual Need for Successful
Marketing and Acceptance of New Products", "Product Protection", "Dependence
Upon Key Employees", "Management of Growth", "Risks Associated with
International Operations", and "Government Regulation". Mediware does not
intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
During the first quarter the Company acquired Informedics, Inc.
("Informedics"). Informedics develops, markets and supports a line of
stand-alone computer-based management information systems for use in the blood
bank and clinical departments of hospitals. Additionally, Informedics has
been developing a Web-enabled software system technology called IntraMed.net.
This internet/intranet oriented software is intended to provide the ability to
extract data from installed legacy computer systems and then store, download
or manipulate the data. While no assurances can be made, the Company believes
that Informedics' Web-enabling technology, when implemented and sold to future
and existing customers, will expand the reach of the three clinical
departments (Blood Bank, Pharmacy and Surgical Suite) Mediware currently
addresses. The acquisition was completed in September, 1998, and was
accounted for as a purchase. The Company's operating results include
Informedics from the date of acquisition which consisted of revenues of
$738,000 and operating expenses of $713,000. Additionally, in the first
quarter the Company recorded a one-time acquisition related charge of
$4,553,000 for in-process research and development related to the estimated
fair value of the IntraMed.net technology.
Total Company revenues increased by 57.3% or $2,528,000 and 39.5% or
$3,697,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 1998 respectively
as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1998. This increase was impacted by
all product lines but was significantly related to revenue gains in the
Company's Pharmacy Division and the effects of the Informedics acquisition.
System sales increased by 153.7% or $1,841,000 and 94.8% or $2,901,000 in
the quarter and first six months of the fiscal year as compared to the same
periods in the prior year. For both periods, the increase is primarily due
to increased system sales in the Company's Pharmacy and Blood Bank Divisions.
Service revenues increased 21.4% or $687,000 and 12.6% or $796,000 for
the three and six months ended December 31, 1998 respectively. The increase
is primarily due to the acquisition of Informedics completed in September
1998. The December quarter represented the first full quarter of the
acquisition's contribution to the Company's Blood Bank Division.
Cost of systems includes the cost of computer hardware and sublicensed
software purchased from computer and software manufacturers by Mediware as
part of its complete system offering. These costs can vary as the mix of
revenue varies between high margin proprietary software and lower margin
computer hardware and sublicensed software components. Cost of systems were
30.1% of related system sales for the second three months of fiscal 1999 as
compared to 30.6% of related system sales for the same period in fiscal 1998.
For the first half of the current fiscal year, cost of systems were 30.5% of
related system sales in comparison to 33.7% for the same time period in the
previous fiscal year. Cost of systems increased by 150.3% or $550,000 from
$366,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to $916,000 in the same period
in fiscal 1999. For the first six months, cost of systems increased by 76.2%
or $786,000 from $1,031,000 in fiscal 1998 to $1,817,000 in fiscal 1999. This
increase in cost is principally due to the sharp increase in system sales.
Cost of services includes the salaries of client service personnel and
communications expenses along with the direct expenses. Technical employees
can perform both client services and software development depending on
customer requirements. Thus the costs associated with these technical
employees and the resulting costs of service which are booked will vary from
period to period with customers needs. Cost of services increased by $354,000
from $731,000 in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year to $1,085,000
and by $514,000 from $1,478,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1998 to
$1,992,000 in the current fiscal year. Cost of services were 27.8% of
related revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1998 vs. 22.8% of
related revenue for the same period a year earlier. On a year-to-date basis,
cost of services were 28.0% of related revenue vs. 23.4% for the same period
in fiscal 1998. This increase in cost primarily reflects an increase in
technical field installation and customer support activities related to the
Company's Pharmacy division.
Software development costs include salaries, consulting, documentation,
office and other expenses incurred in product development along with
amortization of software development cost. Software development costs
increased $260,000 or 43.5% from $598,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998
to $858,000 in the same period in fiscal 1999 and $339,000 or 28.7% from
$1,182,000 to $1,521,000 for the first six months of each fiscal period.
Expenditures (amounts including both capitalized and non-capitalized
expenditures and excluding capitalized software amortization) for software
development for the three months ended December 1998 were approximately
$1,052,000 as compared to $795,000 for same time period ended December 1997.
On a fiscal year to date basis, expenditures for software development were
$2,044,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to $1,504,000
for the same time period in fiscal 1998. Spending on development has
increased among all company divisions but is principally focused on the
Company's Pharmacy division's WORx product line. The Company expects to
increase this level of development spending as it expands its development
efforts to the Blood Bank and Operating Room divisions and integrates the
Web-based communications technology.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include marketing and sales
salaries, commissions, travel and advertising expenses. Also included is bad
debt expense; legal, accounting and professional fees; salaries and bonus
expense for corporate, divisional, financial and administrative staff;
utilities, rent, communication and other office expenses; and other related
direct administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by $1,241,000 or 68.4% from $1,814,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 to $3,055,000 in the same period in fiscal 1999 and increased by
$1,658,000 or 41.4% from $4,005,000 to $5,663,000 in the first six months of
fiscal 1999. This increase in cost is due to higher communications, travel,
administrative, marketing, legal and professional costs. This increase
reflects the cost of managing and growing the Company. Additionally, the
increase reflects the higher commission costs related to increased sales
volume.
Net interest expense decreased $105,000 or 89.0% in the second three
months of fiscal 1999 vs. the same period a year ago and decreased $168,000 or
61.3% in the first half of fiscal 1999 vs. the same period a year ago. During
the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company paid off the outstanding
balance remaining from the acquisition of the Pharmakon and JAC divisions of
Continental Healthcare Systems, Inc. The total principal and interest paid in
the first half of fiscal year 1999 was $3,848,000 compared to $306,000 in the
previous year.
Net earnings for the quarter increased $90,000 or 11.3% from $793,000 to
$883,000 for the second period in fiscal 1999. On a year-to-date basis, net
earnings continue to be directly affected by the $4,553,000 one-time
acquisition related charge taken in the first quarter for in-process research
and development resulting in a net loss of $2,823,000. Excluding this one
time charge, net earnings for the first six months ended December 31, 1998
increased by 22.2% or $314,000 from $1,416,000 for the first half of fiscal
1998 to $1,730,000 for the same period in fiscal 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's cash and cash equivalent position at December 31, 1998 was
$2,384,000, a decrease of $2,297,000 from June 30, 1998. At December 31, 1998
the current ratio was 1.2:1. On November 30, 1998 the Company paid
approximately $3,600,000 owed to Continental Healthcare Systems, Inc.
("Continental") related to the acquisition of the Pharmakon and JAC divisions
of Continental. The balance in notes payable at the end of December 31, 1998
was owed to two directors and another person. The Company is currently
operating with existing cash balances and is in negotiation with a director
to obtain favorable terms on a $2,000,000 line of credit. The Company will
review other financing needs and general cash requirements on an on-going
basis. The Company will require additional sources of liquidity to fund
potential acquisitions, expanded research and development costs along with
other financing needs.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE - AS OF FEBRUARY 10, 1999
In General
----------
Mediware Information Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures, sells and
provides support for management information systems that are used by
hospitals. The Company's sells software products in three distinct areas -
pharmacy, blood bank, and operating room. The Company's pharmacy and blood
bank divisions each offer multiple products.
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs or products that have date sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure, loss of data, or miscalculations causing
disruption of operations.
The Company is performing Year 2000 date-protocol tests and providing
remedial action, as needed, for all of its products, and is conducting tests
on its internal information technology ("IT") systems and non-information
technology ("Non-IT") systems that contain embedded microchips. The Company
is also investigating the Year 2000 preparedness of third parties with whom it
has material relationships, such as suppliers of hardware, database software,
operating systems, network operating systems and utility programs who provide
components on which the Company's software products are operated. This review
includes the submission of questionnaires on Year 2000 preparedness to such
third parties, whose failure to be Year 2000 compliant could negatively effect
the operation of the Company's products and accordingly have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Among other actions, the Company is taking steps to make available to its
customers Year 2000 compatible third party components, to provide timely
releases of its upgraded application software and databases containing Year
2000 fixes, and to timely schedule the installation of its Year 2000
compatible upgrades. The Company's customers have been notified that they are
responsible for ensuring that their hardware, operating systems, computer
BIOS, and networking software are Year 2000 compatible, and will be compatible
with the upgraded software versions provided by the Company, and must
cooperate with the Company in scheduling installation of the software
upgrades. The failure to successfully meet any or all of these conditions
could result in affected customers being unable to operate their software
systems, the result of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The incremental costs to the Company in achieving Year 2000 compatibility
cannot be accurately predicted and will depend upon the timely completion of
tasks by both the Company and its customers. Total costs can be substantially
affected by a number of factors, including the availability and cost of
personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant
computer codes, and the extent of the cooperation provided by customers and
other relevant parties.
Suppliers of the computers, operating systems and data bases necessary to
operate the current versions of the Company's software products have indicated
to the Company that those products are either currently Year 2000 compatible
or will be by the end of 1999. The Company has conducted tests of such
computers, operating systems and data bases with the Company's products now
being marketed and currently has no reason to believe that the Company's
products are not Year 2000 compatible when operated with such computers,
operating systems and data bases.
Assessment of Year 2000 Issues Effecting the Company's Products. The
problems of date-protocol compatibility in the Year 2000 are somewhat
different for each of the Company's software information system products. The
following is an analysis of the Year 2000 status of each product offered by
each of the Company's divisions, as well as those currently under development.
Pharmacy Division
- ------------------
WORx: WORx has been designed by the Company to meet conditions for
Year 2000 readiness, and believes the current 1.3 release meets requirements
for Year 2000 compatibility. As a client/server application, several layers of
software manipulate data. This data is stored within an Informix relational
database, which supports dates beyond December 31, 1999. The WORx client
(end-user workstation) runs under Microsoft Windows, uses the Windows date
formats, and will support dates beyond December 31, 1999. Although WORx has
been designed to be Year 2000 compatible, the Company is currently developing
an internal testing process for the WORx software to ensure Y2K compatibility.
The completion of this internal testing is expected during the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. However, the Company does not anticipate the need to provide
WORx customers an upgrade to the current 1.3 release to be Year 2000
compatible.
Digimedics XA: The Company's Pharmacy Division has completed development
of Version 3.0 of its Digimedics XA pharmacy system, which has been designed to
be Year 2000 compatible. Version 3.0 of the Digimedics XA product is currently
in internal alpha testing, and if testing is successful, will be made
available to beta test clients during the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
Pharmakon "Mini" (Unix based): The Company's Pharmacy Division has
completed internal testing of version 3.5 of its "Unix based" pharmacy system,
known as Mini. External testing of version 3.5 will be completed during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 and if testing is successful will be made
available to the Company's installed client base during the quarter ended June
30, 1999.
Pharmakon "Mainframe": The Company's Pharmacy division has completed its
own internal testing of Version 5.0 of its "Mainframe based" pharmacy system,
which was determined to be Year 2000 compatible. Version 5.0 of the Mainframe
product is currently in external beta testing, and if testing is successful,
will be made available to its installed client base during the quarter ended
June 30, 1999.
The new versions of Digimedics XA, Pharmakon "Mini", and Pharmakon
"Mainframe" discussed above incorporate upgrades of the Company's application
software systems necessary for Year 2000 compatibility. These releases will
be distributed to customers under the Company's normal software support
contract procedures without cost. However, depending upon the configuration
of their current information systems, some customers may incur other costs
associated with the acquisition of new hardware, third party data bases and/or
operating systems that are needed in order for the Company's upgrade to be
installed. Furthermore, the computer and operating system platforms of a
number of hospitals will not accommodate the Year 2000 compatible software
revisions distributed by the Company, and these hospitals must acquire and
bear the cost of new computer hardware and associated operating systems and
third party data bases if they desire to install the Company's software
upgrades.
JAC
- ---
The Company's United Kingdom subsidiary, JAC, sells and distributes
information systems for hospital pharmacies in the United Kingdom. In early
1998, JAC commenced notifying its clients of the appropriate steps they must
take to ensure their entire computer system meets all aspects of the National
Health Service ("NHS") directive for Year 2000 compatibility. The NHS
directive required each Trust (hospital) to have either upgraded their
operating systems to be Year 2000 compatible, have a plan to upgrade, or have
contingency plans ready by December 31, 1998. Although the JAC stock control
pharmacy system has been internally and externally certified as being Year
2000 compatible, JAC is aware that some of its clients may have to upgrade
certain components of their computer hardware and associated operating systems
and pharmacy data bases to ensure full compatibility. In this respect, JAC
has commenced notifying all of its clients of this issue in writing, by
telephone, and through articles in its newsletter, and has raised the issue at
its National and Local User Group meetings.
Operating Room Division
- -------------------------
The Operating Room Division has completed its own internal testing of the
Surgiware product and has determined that it is Year 2000 compatible. A new
Year 2000 compatible revision, release 5.2, is now being offered to hospitals
as part of the normal support procedures of the Company. However, the computer
platforms of a number of hospitals will not accommodate the updates necessary
to become Year 2000 ready, and these hospitals must bear the cost of new
computer hardware and associated operating systems and operating room data
bases.
Blood Bank Division
- ---------------------
Hemocare: The Company's Blood Bank Division has completed its own
internal testing of Version 5.2 of its "Unix based" Hemocare blood bank
system, which was determined to be Year 2000 compatible. Version 5.2 of the
Hemocare product is currently being made available to the Company's installed
client base as part of the Company's normal software support procedures. The
application software runs under a UNIX based operating system and the
application software was designed utilizing absolute Julian dates, which
eliminates the Year 2000 issue insofar as the Hemocare software is concerned.
The absolute Julian start date for the Hemocare blood banking application is
Jan.1, 1968. That specific date is known as Julian day 1. Each day after
Jan. 1, 1968 causes the Julian date to increase by one. Therefore, Feb. 1,
1968 has a Julian date of 32, since that was the 32nd day after Jan. 1, 1968.
On Jan. 1, 1969, the Julian date was 367, representing 367 total days since
Jan. 1, 1968, including the leap day. In a similar fashion, the Julian date
for Jan. 1, 2000 will simply be one greater than the Julian date for Dec. 31,
1999. The fact that the last two digits of the year 2000 are 00 will not
impact Hemocare's date calculations or comparisons, since the dates are not
stored in a complex form made up of years, months, and days.
Informedics LifeLine: The Company's Blood Bank Division has completed its
own internal testing of Version 4.3 of its Lifeline blood bank system, which
was determined to be Year 2000 compatible. Version 4.3 of the Lifeline product
is currently being made available to the Company's installed client base as
part of the Company's normal software support procedures. Customer's who have
previous versions of Lifeline have been notified that the product is not Year
2000 compatible and that it will be necessary for them to upgrade their
systems with the new version 4.3 release.
Informedics StarPath: The Company's Blood Bank Division has completed its
own internal testing of Version 6.4C of its StarPath pathology product, which
was determined to be Year 2000 compatible. This product will be made
available to all StarPath customers during the month of May 1999 as part of
the Company's normal software support procedures.
The new versions of Hemocare, Informedics Lifeline and Informedics
StarPath discussed above incorporate upgrades of the Company's application
software systems necessary for Year 2000 compatibility. These releases will
be distributed to customers under the Company's normal software support
contract procedures without cost. However, depending upon the configuration
of their current information systems, some customers may incur other costs
associated with the acquisition of new hardware, third party data bases and/or
operating systems that are needed in order for the Company's upgrade to be
installed. Furthermore, the computer and operating system platforms of a
number of hospitals will not accommodate the Year 2000 compatible software
revisions distributed by the Company, and these hospitals must acquire and
bear the cost of new computer hardware and associated operating systems and
pharmacy data bases if they desire to install the Company's software upgrades.
Internal Assessment of Year 2000 Readiness
- -----------------------------------------------
The Company has assigned a project team to examine relationships with all
of its vendors, including suppliers of both IT and Non-IT Systems regarding
Year 2000 readiness. All vendors that supply the Company with information or
critical services, process information for the Company, or provide internal IT
or Non-IT Systems using a microprocessor will be queried as to their Year 2000
readiness and the Year 2000 compliance status of products they have provided
to the Company. The Company expects to complete its initial assessment of
such areas during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Following such initial
assessment, the Company will undertake Year 2000 remediation and testing of
these applications. The Company cannot determine, at this time, the number of
its IT Systems and Non-IT Systems that will require remediation. However,
based on the current state of its investigation, the Company knows of no
material Year 2000 problems with respect to its IT Systems and Non-IT Systems.
