laboratory services (see Note 3).
All of the Company's products are based on an open

collect, store and retrieve medical information. In addition, the
Company's technologies and products are designed to allow
healthcare providers to improve quality, increase productivity,
and integrate with the physician office, while reducing overall
costs.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Interim Financial Information
The consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as
the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, such unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein.
(b) Significant Accounting Policies
A description of the Company's significant accounting
policies can be found in the footnotes to the Company's 1995
annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB dated March 29, 1996. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with those footnotes.
(c) Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding for each period. During periods of net loss, common
stock equivalents are not included in weighted average shares
outstanding.
(d) Supplemental Cash Flow Information
In April 1996, the Company issued 14,249 shares of common
stock valued at $160,728 to the selling shareholders of Universal
Document Management Systems, Inc. ("UDMS") in satisfaction for
contingent consideration earned from the period December 14, 1995
to December 31, 1995 in accordance with the UDMS acquisition
agreements. As this was a non-cash transaction, it has not been
presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
(e) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated
financial statements for 1995 to conform to the current year
presentation.
(3) Acquisition of FutureCORE
Effective June 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the
assets of FutureCORE, Ltd. ("FutureCORE"), a hospital, laboratory
and physician services consulting firm. The acquisition has been
accounted for under the purchase method, and the financial
position and results of operations of FutureCORE have been
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since
the date of the acquisition.
The total consideration paid for these assets consisted of
cash of $61,250. The asset purchase agreement also provides for
additional consideration contingent upon the future net revenue
and contribution margin performance of FutureCORE as it relates to
its backlog as of June 28, 1996. The purchase price for
FutureCORE has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and
intangible assets acquired based on their fair market value. The
additional contingent consideration, if earned, would be accounted
for as an additional cost of the acquisition.
(4) Commitments and Contingency
(a) Commitment
The Company signed a letter of agreement with a software
company ("software company"), dated July 12, 1996, in which the
Company, on or before January 31, 1997, agreed to either (a) pay
$1.65 million to the software company in return for 75% of the
common shares of the software company, or (b) secure a funding
commitment for the software company's operations in the amount of
$1.65 million from investors and/or lenders. In the event the
Company secures a funding commitment from investors and/or
lenders, then the software company will grant the Company the
option to purchase 75% of the common shares of the software
company. The Company's option would be immediately exercisable
and remain in effect until December 31, 1999.
Under the agreement, the Company will fund the operations of
the software company until funding has begun under either option
discussed in the preceding paragraph. If the Company pays the
software company $1.65 million for the common shares, then such
purchase price will be reduced by any funds previously paid to the
software company to fund its operations plus interest. If the
Company secures funding for the software company from investors
and/or lenders for $1.65 million, then upon the software company's
receipt of such funding, it will immediately reimburse the Company
for any funds previously paid to it plus interest. Interest will
be equal to the prime rate announced by the Company's primary bank
lender plus 1% per annum. The Company had advanced approximately
$108,000 to the software company under this agreement as of
September 30, 1996.
The Company has also provided a corporate guarantee to a
leasing company under which the Company has guaranteed the
payments due by the software company under certain lease
agreements for equipment and furniture. The amounts due under the
leases, which terminate in 1999 and 2001, are approximately
$135,000.
The software company provides software, education and
services to corporations that are implementing object-oriented
systems in the design and redesign of their business processes.
(b) Litigation
In 1995, a former supplier filed a complaint against the
Company alleging breach of contract and trade libel. The Company
then filed a counterclaim against the supplier in January of 1996.
The Company and the supplier reached a settlement agreement under
which the Company paid the supplier approximately $28,000 and
wrote off approximately $26,000 in amounts due from the supplier.
An agreed order of dismissal was entered in September of 1996
which dismissed the supplier's complaint and the Company's
counterclaim.
Item No. 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Net revenues for the third quarter were a record $2,806,479, an
increase of $209,596 or 8% over the $2,596,883 reported for the
comparable period in 1995. For the nine months ended September
30, 1996, net revenues were also a record at $7,902,784, an
increase of $1,503,539 or 23% over the $6,399,245 reported for the
comparable period in 1995. The increase in net revenues for both
periods is primarily a result of revenues from the ChartMaxx and
Step 2000 products which the Company did not begin selling until
the third and fourth quarters of 1995, respectively. The Company
completed the installation of its fourth ChartMaxx system in the
third quarter of 1996.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 1996 were $2,135,466
compared to $1,379,716 for 1995, an increase of 55%. Operating
expenses were $5,695,588 and $3,823,896, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, an increase of 49%.
The increase is a result of an increase in personnel from 61 to
106 over the past twelve months. The personnel increase related
to additional employees in the areas of sales, marketing, product
development, customer support, administration and the Company's
new subsidiaries, Universal Document Management Systems and
FutureCORE. Substantial expenditures have also been made in the
current year to increase market awareness of the Company's
products, especially the commercial release of the new ChartMaxx
system. The Company also recorded a $54,000 charge associated with
the settlement of a lawsuit by a former supplier in the third
quarter.
The Company's net loss for the third quarter of 1996 was $676,948
compared to net income in 1995 of $33,376. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, the net loss was $1,336,762 compared to
a net loss of $53,480 for the comparable period in 1995. The net
losses are a result of the increased operating expenses discussed
in the preceding paragraph. The Company's net operating loss
carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes at September 30,
1996 are estimated to be approximately $3,035,000. These
carryforwards are available to offset Federal taxable income, if
any, through 2011.
The weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 were 5,913,749 as compared to 4,827,298 for the
comparable period in 1995. Weighted average shares outstanding
increased primarily due to the issuance of an additional 900,000
shares of stock in the Company's secondary offering in November of
1995, and the exercise by underwriters of warrants to purchase a
total of 110,000 shares of common stock during August and
September of 1995 and May of 1996.
The Company signed a letter of agreement with a software company
("software company"), dated July 12, 1996, in which the Company,
on or before January 31, 1997, agreed to either (a) pay $1.65
million to the software company in return for 75% of the common
shares of the software company, or (b) secure a funding commitment
for the software company's operations in the amount of $1.65
million from investors and/or lenders. In the event the Company
secures a funding commitment from investors and/or lenders, then
the software company will grant the Company the option to purchase
75% of the common shares of the software company. The Company's
option would be immediately exercisable and remain in effect until
December 31, 1999.
Under the agreement, the Company will fund the operations of the
software company until funding has begun under either option
discussed in the preceding paragraph. If the Company pays the
software company $1.65 million for the common shares, then such
purchase price will be reduced by any funds previously paid to the
software company to fund its operations plus interest. If the
Company secures funding for the software company from investors
and/or lenders for $1.65 million, then upon the software company's
receipt of such funding, it will immediately reimburse the Company
for any funds previously paid to it plus interest. Interest will
be equal to the prime rate announced by the Company's primary bank
lender plus 1% per annum. The Company had advanced approximately
$108,000 to the software company under this agreement as of
September 30, 1996. The software company provides software,
education and services to corporations that are implementing
object-oriented systems in the design and redesign of their
business processes.
The Company has also provided a corporate guarantee to a leasing
company under which the Company has guaranteed the payments due by
the software company under certain lease agreements for equipment
and furniture. The amounts due under the leases, which terminate
in 1999 and 2001, are approximately $135,000.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

MEDPLUS, INC. ANNOUNCES STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM, MANAGEMENT
CHANGES AND EXPECTATION OF OPERATING LOSS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER
November 5, 1996, MedPlus, Inc.(NASDAQ: MEDP) announced today that
the Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase
program. The timing of the program and the amount of stock
repurchased will be directed by overall financial and market
conditions. The Board has authorized management to repurchase up
to 500,000 shares in the open market commencing on or after
November 6, 1996, and management will review the repurchase
program on a regular basis. Richard A. Mahoney stated that "this
program allows us to repurchase shares at very attractive prices.
The repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares and will be
available for general corporate purposes. This action reflects
the confidence that both the Board and management have in the
future of MedPlus." At September 30, 1996, MedPlus had working
capital of approximately $6,700,000, shareholders' equity of
approximately $11,000,000 and an unused line of credit of
$10,000,000.
The Company also announced that effective immediately, Gary L.
Price will become Senior Vice President of Business Development.
This move will utilize Price's sales and management expertise to
better position the Company in the area of new strategic business
relationships as well as managing existing business partnerships
such as Sunquest Information Systems, Shared Medical Systems,
Abbott Laboratories and Transcend Services, Inc. The creation of
the business development position is recognition that strategic
relationships that supplement the direct sales organization have
become a more critical factor in achieving both industry
visibility and market share. Timothy P. McMullen will become Vice
President of Sales, with overall responsibility for recruitment,
training and management of the Company's sales organization. Prior
to joining MedPlus in June of this year as Vice President of
Corporate Accounts and Managed Care, McMullen held that same title
for Hill-Rom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hillenbrand Industries
located in Batesville, Indiana. During his fifteen year tenure
with Hill-Rom, McMullen managed both the domestic and
international sales operations and the sales support and marketing
functions.
MedPlus also announced that it expected that the fourth quarter
results of operations will result in a loss for the period. The
expected performance relates to the longer than anticipated sales
cycles of the Company's ChartMaxx Electronic Patient Record System
which will result in lower than forecasted revenues for this
product. As disclosed last week in the Company's third quarter
earnings release, management believes that the market potential
for this product continues to be substantial and the Company has
continued to increase its sales, marketing and administrative
expenses to support the installation and development efforts when
additional contracts are secured. The Company also communicated
its intention in the future to significantly reduce operating
expenses as a percentage of net revenues and increase operating
expenses only when supported by higher revenue levels.
MedPlus is a publicly-traded, Cincinnati-based company that
develops, sells and supports hardware and software solutions to
meet the needs of health care organizations. Product offerings
include electronic patient record systems, optical document
archival and retrieval systems, intelligent bar coding systems,
object-oriented workflow and document management systems and
laboratory, business office and physician office integration
services.
