              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations and statements of cash flows reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the
condensed consolidated financial position at September 30, 1996, and the
condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The Company filed audited financial
statements which included all information and footnotes necessary for such a
presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, in the Company's 1995 Form
10-K. Prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
presentation, and restated for the acquisition of DataBreeze, Inc. discussed in
Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2.    ACQUISITION

In March 1996, the Company acquired DataBreeze, Inc. ("DataBreeze"), a Florida-
based provider of information systems for physician practices. DataBreeze became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and continues to operate from its
Florida headquarters. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests, and was effected through the exchange of 153,609 shares of common
stock of the Company for all the issued and outstanding shares of DataBreeze. In
connection with the merger, the Company incurred approximately $292,000 of one-
time merger costs consisting principally of transaction fees for investment
bankers, attorneys, and other related charges necessary to consummate the
transaction. The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the
transaction have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations
of DataBreeze.

The results of operations previously reported by the separate enterprises and
the consolidated amounts for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are
summarized below.

NOTE 5.  OTHER INVESTMENTS AND ADVANCES

In December 1995, the Company purchased an equity interest in a critical care
information systems developer based in Europe, for approximately $1,082,000 in
cash. The equity interest is accounted for under the cost method of accounting.
In addition to the equity interest, the Company entered into an OEM
Distribution Agreement to distribute the critical care system throughout the
Company's customer base. To consummate the Agreement the Company paid certain
costs for advance license fees, which are recorded as prepaid expenses.

In February 1996, the Company signed a Distribution Agreement with a California-
based software developer of mobile computing solutions for the home healthcare
marketplace.  The Agreement allows the Company to distribute the home healthcare
solutions throughout its direct sales network. In addition to the Agreement, the
Company purchased a minority equity interest in the developer for approximately
$950,000 in cash. The equity interest is accounted for under the cost method of
accounting. Subsequent to the initial investment, the Company has advanced
additional funds to the developer.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Overview

The Company develops, markets, installs and services enterprise-wide, patient-
centered healthcare information systems for use by large- and medium-sized
healthcare providers. The Company's DataBreeze(TM) practice management and
managed care information system is designed for medium- to large-sized
management service organizations (MSOs), and multi-specialty, multi-site
physician group practices. The Company's revenues are derived from system,
license and service sales, support and maintenance fees, and sales of third-
party hardware relating to its products. Systems revenues are generated from
long-term contracts to deliver and install an integrated system solution. The
revenues and related costs on these contracts, including the revenues from the
resale of third-party hardware, are recognized using the percentage-of-
completion method based on the estimated labor hours required to complete an
installation. Support and maintenance revenues are recognized over the contract
period, while additional hardware revenues, generated from hardware sales not
included in a systems contract, are recognized when the hardware is shipped. The
Company's total backlog consists of signed contracts for systems installation,
support and maintenance, and additional software and services that are not yet
recognized as revenue.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements which reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
including those discussed below that could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical results or those anticipated. The Company has
identified by italics, or all capital letters, various sentences within this
Form 10-Q which contain such forward-looking statements, and words such as
"believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means
of identifying such statements. In addition, the disclosures on page 12 under
the caption "Other Factors That May Affect Operating Results", which is not
italicized or capitalized for improved readability, consists principally of a
discussion of risks which may affect future results and, are thus, in their
entirety forward-looking in nature. Readers are urged to carefully review and
consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this report and in the
Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that
attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect
the Company's business.

Results of Operations

Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, increased to $12.8
million from $11.2 million in the third quarter of 1995. The increase in third
quarter revenues was principally due to increased additional hardware sales. Net
income decreased 37 percent to $671,000 or $0.11 per share compared with $1.1
million or $0.17 per share, in the third quarter of 1995. The decrease in third
quarter income before income taxes was primarily due to one-time international
market entry costs of $310,000. In addition, a favorable IRS ruling in the third
quarter of 1995 accelerated the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred
tax benefits, and reduced the Company's effective tax rate to 12% compared to
31% in the third quarter of 1996.

On a year-to-date basis, revenues increased from $34.9 million to $37.1 million,
primarily due to a combined 5% increase in systems, licenses and services, and
support and maintenance revenues, the Company's core revenue categories. In
addition, additional hardware revenues increased $662,000, or 18 percent, over
year-to-date 1995 levels. Net income, prior to special charges, decreased 34
percent to $2.2 million or $0.35 per share compared with $3.3 million or $0.53
per share for 1995. Net income, after $906,000 of special charges, decreased 55
percent to $1.5 million or $0.23 per share compared with $3.3 million or $0.53
per share for 1995. The $1.8 million decline in year-to-date net income was
primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in operating expenses, and the addition
of $906,000 of special charges, which were partially offset by a $1.2 million
increase in overall gross margins. THE COMPANY EXPECTS FOURTH QUARTER INCOME
BEFORE INCOME TAXES, EXCLUDING U.K. MARKET ENTRY COSTS, WILL BE COMPARABLE TO
THE RESULTS ACHIEVED IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1996.

</TABLE>

Systems, licenses and service revenues were $8.7 million in the third quarter of
1996, a 6 percent decrease over the same period a year ago. The decrease in the
third quarter was primarily due to customer-driven implementation delays, and a
shift in the Company's revenue mix. For the nine month period, systems, licenses
and service sales increased from $26.9 million to $27.0 million. The year-to-
date increase was primarily due to an increase in the rates realized per revenue
hour, and the addition of revenues from third-party solution partner agreements.
The Company's backlog of systems, licenses and services was $49.4 million (out
of a total backlog of $76.6 million) at September 30, 1996.

Gross margin percentages on systems, licenses and service sales declined to
40.8% for the three month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to 44.3% for
the same period in 1995. The current quarter's  decline in margins was due to a
shift in the Company's revenue mix to lower margin services revenues from higher
margin software revenues. For the year-to-date, the Company experienced an
increase in systems, licenses and services gross margin percentages to 43.9%
from 43.3% in 1995.

Support and maintenance revenues increased 38% to $2.0 million in the third
quarter of 1996 from $1.5 million in the third quarter of 1995. Third quarter
1996 margins declined to 32.4%, compared to 35.2% in 1995, as support and
maintenance costs increased to accommodate the recent transition of several
customers from their installation phase to their customer support phase, and due
to additional costs of periodic updates for current regulatory requirements.
Historically, increases in support costs occur following system activations, as
customers require additional support to become acclimated with the Company's
system.

Year-to-date support and maintenance revenues increased 33% to $5.8 million at
September 30, 1996 from $4.4 million at September 30, 1995. In 1996, gross
margins on support and maintenance have increased as the Company has been able
to spread the fixed portion of its maintenance costs over a larger installed
customer base.

Third quarter additional hardware revenues increased to $2.1 million, a 348%
increase over the same period in 1995. Third quarter gross margins were
positively affected by sales of additional hardware for 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
which the Company acted as an agent rather than a reseller. Year-to-date
additional hardware revenues increased 18% to $4.3 million at September 30, 1996
from $3.6 million at September 30, 1995.

Sales of additional hardware have historically experienced significant quarterly
fluctuations, and may vary significantly from period to period as they are
limited in number and individual sales can have a high dollar value. THE LEVEL
OF FUTURE HARDWARE SALES MAY BE IMPACTED BY BOTH PRICE DECREASES AND BY THE
INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES TO SELL SUCH HARDWARE AS THE COMPANY'S INSTALLED
CUSTOMER BASE INCREASES AND CONSOLIDATION TAKES PLACE.

THE COMPANY EXPECTS REVENUES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 1996 WILL BE COMPARABLE TO
THOSE IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1996. RISKS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL REVENUES TO
DIFFER FROM EXPECTED REVENUES INCLUDE CHANGING VOLUMES OF LABOR HOURS, CHANGES
IN REALIZED RATES PER REVENUE HOUR, AND CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S REVENUE MIX.
OVERALL GROSS MARGIN PERCENTAGES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 1996  ARE EXPECTED TO
APPROXIMATE THE LEVEL EXPERIENCED IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1996. HOWEVER,
ACHIEVEMENT OF  THE COMPANY'S EXPECTATIONS IS SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF RISKS,
INCLUDING IMPLEMENTATION DELAYS AND CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S REVENUE MIX.

</TABLE>

The increase in third quarter and year-to-date sales and marketing expense was
primarily the result of increased personnel costs, corporate marketing, and
corporate communication program expenditures necessary to promote the Company's
competitive position and expand its customer base. Sales and marketing expense
increased as a percentage of net revenues in 1996 as the rate of increase in
sales and marketing expense exceeded the rate of increase in net revenues. THE
COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THIS LEVEL OF EXPENDITURE IS APPROPRIATE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITIES TO SELL NEW SYSTEMS CONTRACTS IN THE CURRENT MARKET
ENVIRONMENT. THE COMPANY'S EFFORTS TO EXPAND ITS CUSTOMER BASE, PROMOTE ITS
COMPETITIVE POSITION, AND SUPPORT THE SALES AND MARKETING OF NEW AND EXISTING
APPLICATIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF 1996.

During the third quarter the Company incurred approximately $310,000 of "start-
up" costs associated with its planned entry into the United Kingdom. The costs
include pre-contract signing costs, and initial product conversion costs to make
the Company's product applicable to the U.K. marketplace. THE COMPANY
ANTICIPATES THAT ADDITIONAL NON-RECURRING EXPENSES WILL BE INCURRED IN THE
FOURTH QUARTER, BUT WILL CONCLUDE AT THE TIME OF AN INITIAL CONTRACT SIGNING,
WHICH IS ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 1996.

The Company's research and development efforts focus on enhancing existing
applications and developing new applications for the LASTWORD(R), Enterprise
View(TM), and DataBreeze(TM) systems, and integrating applications from its
third party solution providers. The following table sets forth certain
information regarding research and development expense and amounts of
capitalized software development costs for the quarters ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995:

</TABLE>

THE COMPANY BELIEVES IT MUST MAINTAIN A SUBSTANTIAL COMMITMENT TO RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE. SINCE 1993, THE COMPANY HAS SPENT INCREASING
AMOUNTS ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND EXPECTS THIS TREND TO CONTINUE. The
Company capitalizes software development costs when technological feasibility on
a particular project has been established and thereafter until the related
product is available for general release to customers. Research and development
expense increased $209,000 and $1.8 million in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1996, respectively, as the Company added development personnel and
devoted increased hours and resources to development projects. In addition, the
Company incurred significant expenditures developing release 4.0 of the
LASTWORD(R) system, which contributed to the increase in capitalized software
development costs of approximately $598,000 and $1.3 million, respectively,
during the same periods.

THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES ITS LEVEL OF CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS AS A
PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES WILL FLUCTUATE BASED
UPON THE NATURE AND TIMING OF SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN.

</TABLE>

General and administrative expense decreased in the third quarter, and for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to a decrease in legal fees
related to the successful defense of the civil action complaint filed by TDS
Healthcare Systems Corporation (TDS), and a reduction in management bonuses. All
claims against the Company in the TDS matter were dismissed in October 1995, and
the Company and TDS have agreed that the judgment entered in the case is final
and no appeals will be filed.

THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO MAINTAIN GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SPENDING AT

</TABLE>

The decrease in other income, net in 1996 was directly attributable to lower
cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances during 1996, and lower interest
yields due to a shift in investment portfolio holdings from taxable securities
to tax-exempt securities.

</TABLE>

The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1996 was less than the
enacted statutory federal tax rate due to tax-exempt interest. The Company's
effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 exceeds the enacted
statutory federal tax rate due to the $292,000 of one-time, nondeductible merger
costs related to the DataBreeze acquisition in March 1996 (Note 2 of Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES THAT THE
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE FOR 1996 WILL APPROXIMATE THE STATUTORY TAX RATE.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
$1.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $18.9 million in investments
available for sale, $7.6 million of accounts receivable and up to $5.0 million
available under a bank line of credit. As of September 30, 1996, no amounts were
outstanding under this line of credit and the Company was in compliance with all
applicable debt covenants. The Company had working capital of $20.3 million at
September 30, 1996. The Company requires significant down payments on its system
and license sales contracts and attempts to negotiate its subsequent milestone
payments so that it is in a cash positive position throughout most of the
contract period. Amounts billed in excess of costs and earnings on contracts are
reflected as deferred revenue on the Company's balance sheet.

THE COMPANY BELIEVES EXISTING CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR
SALE, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND AVAILABLE BANK CREDIT, TOGETHER WITH THE
ANTICIPATED CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS AND THE EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS,
WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
REQUIREMENTS, AND INTERNAL WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWELVE
MONTHS.

Other Factors That May Affect Operating Results

The Company's operating results may fluctuate due to factors such as the volume
and timing of systems and additional hardware sales, the length of sales cycles
and the installation process, possible contract and implementation
postponements, changes in product mix of revenues, changes in the level of
operating expenses, delays in revenue contributions from additional product
offerings, uncertainty of international business development, and general
economic conditions in the healthcare industry. All of the above factors are
difficult for the Company to forecast, and can materially adversely affect the
Company's business and operating results for one quarter or a series of
quarters.
