                          MEDIC COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 1997 and for all
periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, but the Company believes that the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. For more
complete financial information, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

2. MERGER AGREEMENT

Medic signed a merger agreement on September 4, 1997 with Misys plc, the UK's
largest independent applications software products group, whereby Misys would
acquire Medic for $35 per share in cash, or an aggregate of approximately $923
million. The merger proposal has already gained Misys shareholder approval, and
Misys has arranged sufficient financing to consummate the acquisition subject
only to customary loan conditions. The Federal Trade Commission has granted
early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act with respect to the acquisition. The proposed merger will be
presented for approval to Medic shareholders on November 24, 1997. As previously
indicated, the transaction remains subject to a number of other customary
closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the merger will occur by
such time, or at all.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires the disclosre of
an amount that represents total comprehensive income and the components of
comprehensive income in a financial statement. This pronouncement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board also issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which
establishes standards for determining an entity's operating segments and the
type and level of financial information to be disclosed in both annual and
interim financial statements. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This pronouncement is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997,
and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On May 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
CompuSystems, Inc. ("CompuSystems"), a privately held company based in Columbia,
South Carolina, through an exchange of stock in a merger transaction valued at
approximately $33,400,000. Medic issued 720,022 shares of its common stock to
the shareholders of CompuSystems in the merger. The transaction was accounted
for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the Company's financial
statements for the periods prior to the merger have been restated to include the
results of CompuSystems for all periods presented.

On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Home
Care Information Systems, Inc. ("HCIS"), a privately held company located in
Bloomfield, New Jersey, through an exchange of stock in a merger transaction
valued at approximately $18,800,000. The Company issued approximately 522,000
shares of its common stock in the transaction. The acquisition was accounted for
as a pooling of interests, but was not material to the Company's results of
operations and financial position. Accordingly, the results of operations of
HCIS are included from the date of acquisition.

On February 28, 1997, the Company also acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Computer Business Systems of Virginia, Inc. ("CBSI"), a privately held company
located in Rockville, Maryland, through an exchange of stock in a merger
transaction valued at approximately $26,460,000. The Company issued
approximately 735,000 shares of its common stock in the transaction. The
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests, but was not material to
the Company's results of operations and financial position. Accordingly, the
results of operations of CBSI are included from the date of acquisition.

7. INCOME TAXES

The tax provisions for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
differ from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to state
income taxes, nondeductible amortization of intangible assets,
acquisition-related costs and tax-free interest income.

Reconciliation between the "expected" income tax expense rate based on the
statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and the actual effective rate of the
expense is as follows:

                                                 Nine months ended September 30,
                                                                1997       1996

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of
income and expense items for income tax and financial statement purposes. The
components of the deferred tax asset as of September 30, 1997 were as follows
(in thousands):

                                                         September 30,

8. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Statement of Position No. 91-1 "Software Revenue Recognition". Revenue from
systems sales is recognized upon the installation and testing of the system and

forward-looking statements. The Company's revenues and results can vary
significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors,
including the volume and timing of systems sales and installations and product
deliveries from the Company's vendors. The timing of such revenues from systems
sales is difficult to forecast because the Company's sales cycle can vary
depending upon factors such as the size of the transaction and general economic
conditions. Given that a significant percentage of the Company's expenses are
relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of systems sales can cause
significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. The
Company's future operating results may fluctuate as a result of these and/or
other factors, such as customer purchasing patterns and the timing of new
product and service introductions and product upgrade releases. Additional
information regarding factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained
herein is contained in certain of the Company's other SEC filings, copies of
which are available from the Company upon request.

Medic signed a merger agreement on September 4, 1997 with Misys plc, the UK's
largest independent applications software products group, whereby Misys would
acquire Medic for $35 per share in cash, or an aggregate of approximately $923
million. The merger proposal has already gained Misys shareholder approval, and
Misys has arranged sufficient financing to consummate the acquisition subject
only to customary loan conditions. The Federal Trade Commission has granted
early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act with respect to the acquisition. The proposed merger will be
presented for approval to Medic shareholders on November 24, 1997. As previously
indicated, the transaction remains subject to a number of other customary
closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the merger will occur by
such time, or at all.

On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Home
Care Information Systems, Inc. ("HCIS"), a privately held company located in
Bloomfield, New Jersey, through an exchange of stock in a merger transaction
valued at approximately $18,800,000. The Company issued approximately 522,000
shares of its common stock in the transaction. The acquisition was accounted for
as a pooling of interests, but was not material to the Company's results of
operations and financial position. Accordingly, the operating results of HCIS
are included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On February 28, 1997, the Company also acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Computer Business Systems of Virginia, Inc. ("CBSI"), a privately held company
located in Rockville, Maryland, through an exchange of stock in a merger
transaction valued at approximately $26,460,000. The Company issued
approximately 735,000 shares of its common stock in the transaction. The
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests, but was not material to
the Company's results of operation and financial position. Accordingly, the
operating results of CBSI are included in the Company's financial statements
from the date of acquisition.

On May 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
CompuSystems, Inc. ("CompuSystems"), a privately held company based in Columbia,
South Carolina, through an exchange of 


                                       10
<PAGE>

stock in a merger transaction valued at approximately $33,400,000. Medic issued
720,022 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of CompuSystems in the
merger. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and,
accordingly, the Company's financial statements for the periods prior to the
merger have been restated to include the results of CompuSystems for all periods
presented.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1996

Total Net Revenues

Total net revenues increased by 22.8% from $50,072,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 1996, to $61,468,000 during the three months ended September
30, 1997. Systems sales increased by 18.2% from $24,373,000 during the three
months ended September 30, 1996, to $28,802,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. Systems sales to new customers increased by 14.8% from
$15,659,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $17,983,000
during the three months ended September 30, 1997, and systems sales to existing
customers for upgrades and add-ons increased 24.2% from $8,714,000 in 1996 to
$10,819,000 in 1997.

The systems sales backlog increased by 7.5% from $39,278,000 at September 30,
1996, to $42,242,000 at September 30, 1997. The backlog reflects an increase in
orders secured primarily during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

Net revenues from maintenance, forms and other services increased by 27.1% from
$25,699,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $32,666,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the
result of increases in hardware and software maintenance revenues of $2,862,000,
in FastBill(SM) revenue of $2,877,000, and in FastClaim(R) revenue of
$1,206,000.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of systems sales increased by 20.2% from $14,625,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, to $17,585,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997, due primarily to increased hardware and software costs of $1,194,000
related to increased system sales to existing and new customers, increased
+Medic Vision system implementation costs of $1,269,000, and systems costs of
$600,000 for companies acquired in 1997. Cost of systems sales increased as a
percentage of related revenues from 60.0% for the three months ended September
30, 1996, to 61.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily
to higher implementation costs relative to +Medic Vision system sales as
compared to the same period in 1996.

Cost of maintenance, forms and other services revenues increased by 22.4% from
$15,768,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $19,293,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily to increased related
revenues. Cost of maintenance, forms and other services revenues decreased as a
percentage of related revenues from 61.4% for the three months ended September
30, 1996, to 59.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, primarily due
to increased margins on EDI services and software maintenance and decreased
hardware maintenance-related and forms costs as a percentage of the total
maintenance, forms and services revenue resulting from lower hardware
maintenance and forms revenues as percentages of total maintenance, forms and
other services revenues.

The total cost of net revenues decreased as a percentage of total net revenues
from 60.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to 60.0% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily to a higher margins on EDI
services and software maintenance revenues as described above.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 33.5% from $4,512,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, to $6,024,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, including increased commissions of $570,000 on sales to new
customers and sales and marketing expenses of $526,000 for companies acquired in
1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased as a percentage of net revenues
from 9.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to 9.8% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, primarily due to higher sales commission costs
on the increased systems sales to new customers, which yields a higher
commission expense, and to sales and marketing expenses associated with
companies acquired in 1997.

Research and Development

Research and development costs increased by 39.4% from $2,602,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, to $3,625,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, due primarily to research and development expenses of
$513,000 related to companies acquired in 1997, and an increase of $510,000
incurred in the development of new products. Research and development expenses
increased as a percentage of net revenues from 5.2% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, to 5.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, due
primarily to the increased investment in development discussed above. The
Company has not capitalized any research and development costs under SFAS No. 86
because the amounts that would be subject to capitalization have not been
material.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by 37.2% from $2,584,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, to $3,546,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, due primarily to general administrative expenses of $508,000
related to companies acquired in 1997 and the overall company growth. General
and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net revenues from 5.2%
for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to 5.8% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, due primarily to the relatively higher general and
administrative expenses of the acquired companies.

Amortization

Amortization of intangibles remained virtually constant in absolute terms at
$442,000 and $443,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased by 14.8% from $9,539,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, to $10,952,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997, due to an increase in gross margin of $4,911,000, partially offset by
an increase in operating expenses of $3,498,000. Income from operations
decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 19.1% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, to 17.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, due
primarily to higher operating costs as a percentage of revenue as described
above.

Other Income

Net interest income increased from $481,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1996, to $922,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, due
primarily to increased cash invested and short-term investments on-hand.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes increased by 16.9% from $3,934,000, or
39.3% of pretax income for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to
$4,597,000, or 38.7% of pretax income for the three months ended September 30,
1997, due primarily to increased pretax income. The decrease in combined income
taxes as a percentage of pretax income was due primarily to an increase in
favorable permanent 


                                       12
<PAGE>

differences such as tax-free interest. The tax provision differs from the U.S.
statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to state income taxes,
nondeductible amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses
and tax-free interest income.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1996

Total Net Revenues

Total net revenues increased by 22.6% from $138,030,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, to $169,255,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 1997. Systems sales increased by 16.1% from $65,861,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, to $76,435,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. Systems sales to new customers increased by 10.6% from
$40,834,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $45,173,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and systems sales to existing
customers for upgrades and add-ons increased 24.9% from $25,027,000 in 1996 to
$31,262,000 in 1997.

Net revenues from maintenance, forms and other services increased by 28.6% from
$72,169,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $92,820,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of
increases in hardware and software maintenance revenues of $7,322,000, in
FastBill(SM) revenue of $8,714,000, and in FastClaim(R) revenue of $4,245,000.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of systems sales increased by 22.0% from $39,513,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, to $48,196,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, due to increased hardware and software costs of $2,092,000 related to
increased system sales to existing and new customers, increased +Medic Vision
implementation costs of $4,112,000, systems costs $1,541,000 for companies
acquired in 1997 and other increased systems-related costs of $938,000. Cost of
systems sales increased as a percentage of related revenues from 60.0% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, to 63.1% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due primarily to higher implementation costs relative to
+Medic Vision systems sales as compared to 1996.

Cost of maintenance, forms and other services revenues increased by 27.3% from
$43,609,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $55,497,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily to increased related
revenues. Cost of maintenance, forms and other services revenues decreased as a
percentage of related revenues from 60.4% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, to 59.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily
to higher margins on EDI services and forms sales partially offset by lower
margins on maintenance revenues.

The total cost of net revenues increased as a percentage of total net revenues
from 60.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to 61.3% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 due primarily to lower margins on systems sales
as described above.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 30.3% from $12,909,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, to $16,824,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 due primarily to the growth in systems revenues and to the
relatively higher sales and marketing expenses in the amount of $1,272,000 for
the companies acquired in 1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased as a
percentage of net revenues from 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, to 9.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily due to the
shortfall of systems revenue in the first quarter of 1997 not absorbing fixed
sales and marketing costs.


                                       13

Research and Development

Research and development costs increased by 49.8% from $7,395,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, to $11,079,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due primarily to research and development expenses of
$1,233,000 related to companies acquired in 1997, and an increase of $2,451,000
incurred in the development of new products. Research and development expenses
increased as a percentage of net revenues from 5.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, to 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due
primarily to the increased development investment discussed above. The Company
has not capitalized any research and development costs under SFAS No. 86 because
the amounts that would be subject to capitalization have not been material.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by 48.2% from $7,446,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $11,032,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, including non-recurring expenses of $1,079,000 incurred in
connection with the acquisitions of HCIS and CBSI in 1997, and including
non-recurring expenses of $243,000 incurred in connection with the acquisition
of CompuSystems in 1996. Excluding these non-recurring expenses, general and
administrative expenses increased by 38.2%, due primarily to the overall company
growth, including $1,667,000 related to the acquired companies. General and
administrative expenses including non-recurring expenses increased as a
percentage of net revenues from 5.4% for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, to 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Excluding these
non-recurring expenses, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of net revenues from 5.2% for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, to 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily to
higher fixed costs relative to lower systems revenues and to the relatively
higher general and administrative expenses of the acquired companies.

Amortization

Amortization of intangibles remained relatively constant in absolute terms at
$1,334,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and $1,329,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased by 2.0% from $25,824,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, to $25,298,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, due primarily to the shortfall of systems revenue in the first quarter of
1997 and an increase in operating expenses of $11,180,000, including the
non-recurring expenses of $1,079,000 and $243,000 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Excluding the non-recurring expenses, income from operations
increased by 1.2%. Income from operations decreased as a percentage of net
revenues from 18.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to 14.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Excluding the non-recurring expenses,
income from operations decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 18.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to 15.6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.

Other Income

Net interest income increased from $1,599,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, to $2,251,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
due primarily to increased cash invested and short-term investments on-hand.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's combined actual and pro forma provision for income taxes increased
in absolute terms by 2.1% from $10,743,000, or 39.2% of pretax income, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $10,971,000, or 39.8% of pretax income,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due primarily to 


                                       14
<PAGE>

increased pretax income. The increase in income taxes as a percentage of pretax
income was due primarily to the increase in nondeductible expenses, including
acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by the increase in tax-free
interest income as a percentage of pretax income. The combined actual and pro
forma tax provisions differ from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate due
primarily to state income taxes, nondeductible amortization of intangible
assets, acquisition-related expenses and tax-free interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded its operations over the nine months ended September 30,
1997 primarily through cash on-hand and cash flow from operations. At
September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents equal to
$42,942,000 and a working capital position in the amount of $118,813,000.

The Company currently has a $10,000,000 uncommitted line of credit with Wachovia
Bank of North Carolina, N.A. At September 30, 1997, there were no borrowings
outstanding under this line.

The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by 68.0% from
$25,557,000 at December 31, 1996 to $42,942,000 at September 30, 1997, due to
cash flow from operations of $18,600,000, sales of short term investments of
$36,963,000, proceeds from issuance of Common Stock of $705,000 and net cash
acquired of $1,001,000. Cash was used primarily for purchases of fixed assets in
the amount of $3,846,000 and purchases of short term investments of $36,038,000.

The Company's accounts receivable balance increased by 2.7% from $54,737,000 at
December 31, 1996, to $56,227,000 at September 30, 1997, primarily as a result
of the increase in revenues partially offset by increased cash collections in
1997. The Company's customer base continues to expand from predominately small
group medical practices to larger, consolidated physician practices, hospital
organizations, affiliated physician networks and management services
organizations. Selected larger customers have been extended longer payment terms
to more closely match the time required by the customers to integrate the larger
practice management systems throughout their organizations after the
installation of the system. The Company has increased the reserve for doubtful
accounts 42.2% from $3,198,000 at December 31, 1996 to $4,547,000 at September
30, 1997, including reserves in the amount of $452,000 for recent acquisitions.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate and may increase or decrease
in the future according to varying conditions in the general economy or the
Company's customer base. Days Sales Outstanding decreased from 93 days at
December 31, 1996 to 83 days at September 30, 1997. Management continues to
invest in systems and personnel to better manage working capital, including
accounts receivable.

Prepaid expenses increased by 16.7% from $4,968,000 at December 31, 1996, to
$5,799,000 at September 30, 1997, due primarily to payments for supplies and
materials associated with FastBill(SM) revenues. Property and equipment
increased by 26.4% from $10,099,000 at December 31, 1996, to $12,770,000 at
September 30, 1997, due primarily to the purchase of computer equipment for use
in various departments and the acquisition of real property at a cost of
$1,892,000 in the CBSI transaction.

Accounts payable decreased by 5.0%, from $10,013,000 at December 31, 1996, to
$9,517,000 at September 30, 1997, due primarily to the timing of payments for
purchases.

Customer deposits and deferred revenue increased by 1.9% from $11,340,000 at
December 31, 1996, to $11,561,000 at September 30, 1997, due to decreases in
customer deposits of $211,000, offset by an increase in deferred maintenance
billings of $432,000.

Income taxes payable increased by 142.8% from $1,131,000 at December 31, 1996,
to $2,746,000 at September 30, 1997, due primarily to the timing of estimated
payments.


                                       15
<PAGE>

Accrued commissions decreased by 19.2% from $2,213,000 at December 31, 1996, to
$1,788,000 at September 30, 1997, due primarily to commissions being paid out
consistent with the collection activity in accounts receivable.

Accrued compensation and related items increased 4.7% from $4,915,000 at
December 31, 1996, to $5,145,000 at September 30, 1997, due primarily to
increases in accrued vacation of $667,000 and employee stock plan withholdings
of $209,000, partially offset by the net decreases in accrued bonuses of
$389,000 and profit-sharing of $292,000 at December 31, 1996.

The Company's capital expenditures decreased from $3,918,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, to $3,846,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 due primarily to the purchase of computer equipment and
software to enhance management information systems in 1996. The Company believes
that cash generated from operations, proceeds from the issuance of common stock,
and cash available under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to
meet its cash and capital requirements for the immediate foreseeable future.

From time to time, the Company has been contacted by or has made contact with
third parties who represent potential acquisition candidates that would help
facilitate the Company's growth strategy. Depending upon the cash requirements
of a potential transaction, the Company may finance the transaction through its
cash flow from operations or may raise additional funds by pursuing various
financing vehicles such as additional bank financing or one or more additional
public offerings or private placements of the Company's securities. However,
there can be no assurance that any such transactions will occur, that the funds
to finance any such acquisition will be available on reasonable terms or at all,
or that the consummation of such transactions will not adversely affect the
Company's cash balances and capital requirements.

The Company believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company's results of operations to date.
