PART I.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Prior to October 1998, PACE developed and marketed advanced patient care
management software systems that enabled healthcare providers to standardize the
delivery of care, maximize resource utilization and improve clinical outcomes.
The Company's enterprise-wide, client/server applications automated charting,
clinical workflow processes and clinical pathways. The Company's core system,
PACE CMS, was a modular suite of advanced software applications that provided
hospitals, physicians' offices, and integrated delivery systems a comprehensive
system for interdisciplinary documentation, nursing care planning, clinical
pathway management and enterprise-wide order management, all at the point of
care.
On October 7, 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its
assets to, and the assumption of certain of its liabilities by, Minnesota Mining
and Manufacturing Company ("3M") ("the Transaction"). The sale was made pursuant
to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 1998, as amended, as described in
Company's definitive proxy statement dated September 14, 1998. The Transaction
was approved by the holders of both the common stock and the preferred stock at
a special meeting of shareholders held on October 7, 1998.
The purchase price of the Transaction was approximately $5.9 million, including
$4.75 million in cash (of which $750,000 was originally placed in escrow to be
held until July 1999 to secure the Company's indemnification obligations under
the Asset Purchase Agreement), plus the assumption of substantially all of the
Company's liabilities other than $2.1 million in line of credit balances, which
were paid off from proceeds at closing. 3M offered positions to most of the
Company's employees and has assumed full support of the Company's customers.
Subsequent to the closing of the Transaction, the Company agreed that $25,000 of
the amount in escrow could be paid to 3M as part of a purchase price adjustment
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, leaving an escrow balance of
$725,000.
Following the Transaction, the Company has no ongoing operations and no revenues
and has minimal operating expenses. The Company presently has only one part-time
employee. The Company's December 31, 1998 balance sheet reflects cash (including
the escrow balance pursuant to the Transaction) in excess of $2.0 million and
minimal debt.
The net proceeds from the sale will be retained by the Company pending a
determination of whether to engage in a follow-on transaction. The Company has
been seeking a business combination with another entity, before considering
possible liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Company believes that
with the cash on hand and net operating loss carryforwards, subject to the
limitation of such carryforwards under the Internal Revenue Code, such a
combination may be attractive to potential partners and would better serve the
interests of the Company's shareholders. As of the date of this Form 10-KSB, no
definitive agreement has been signed for a follow-on transaction. If no suitable
business combination is identified within a reasonable period of time, the
Company may elect to liquidate and distribute the remaining net proceeds to
shareholders. If the Company liquidated at the present time, all of the net
assets of the Company would be paid to holders of the Company's preferred stock.

THE COMPANY
PACE was organized in 1987 as a computer systems consulting firm. In 1989, the
Company began to develop and market a nursing management system built around an
artificial intelligence-based "Clinical Library." To that foundation, PACE added
point-of-care software applications in the early 1990's and introduced PACE
Clinical Information System ("PACE/CIS"). During fourth quarter of 1995, the
Company discontinued the marketing and sale of PACE/CIS; however, it was from
these core modules that PACE CMS complete care management system evolved. During
1996, PACE CMS, the system from which the Company derived substantially all of
its revenues, was further enhanced through the first release of a graphical user
interface (GUI) utilizing an object-oriented open three-tier, client/server
architecture ("Graphical PACE CMS"). The Company's open-systems architecture and
object orientation allowed PACE CMS to be integrated with a healthcare
provider's existing information systems, including financial management,
admissions, pharmacy, laboratory, and other ancillary systems. Graphical PACE
CMS had the user friendliness of Windows with significantly enhanced clinical
functionality.
In the second quarter of 1997, the Company expanded its product line into the
ambulatory market when it purchased substantially all of the assets of
Healthcare Software Solutions, L.C. (HSS), an affiliate of Wellmark, Inc.
(formerly IASD Health Services Corporation). The MR2000 product integrated
traditional paper charting activities into a system that improved practice
efficiency and quality of care.
As of December 31, 1997, PACE had 74 customers under contract and had completed
installation of the Graphical PACE CMS in six facilities. During 1997, the
Company signed new contracts valued at over $4,000,000; however, the lack of
substantial capital on the balance sheet seriously impacted end of year
operations. To reduce overhead, minimize negative cash flow, and try to attract
capital or secure strategic partners for operational growth, the Company
determined it necessary to terminate approximately 40 employees on February 18,
1998. These reductions were primarily targeted at legacy non-graphical product
cost centers, allowing the Company to continue directing resources into the
Graphical PACE CMS development and sales efforts and remain focused on current
implementation agreements.
In June 1998 the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with 3M
whereby the Company sold substantially all of its assets for cash and an
assumption of substantially all liabilities, except the Company's lines of
credit. The Transaction closed on October 7, 1998. See "The Company -- General."
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1998, the Company employed 2 full-time personnel -- Mark J.
Emkjer, President and CEO, and Roger D. Huseman, Chief Financial Officer.
Effective January 1, 1999 Mr. Emkjer resigned from his position, and effective
March 1, 1999 Mr. Huseman became a part-time employee of the Company.
The Company is a party to a joint employer agreement with Merit Resources, Inc.,
a third-party provider of employee administration, benefits and personnel
services. Under this agreement, all personnel serving the Company are employees
of the provider (Merit) for the purposes of payroll administration and benefit
packages. A stipulation of this joint employer relationship is that all
employees owe all fiduciary and confidentiality obligations concerning the
Company's proprietary information to the Company and not Merit. In addition, the
Company's officers serve as officers of the Company only, and not of Merit.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Prior to the Transaction, the Company leased office space in West Des Moines,
Iowa, Huntersville, North Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina. The Charlotte,
North Carolina lease was terminated prior to closing the Transaction. As part of
the Transaction, 3M assumed the West Des Moines and Huntersville leases.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, 3M agreed to provide the Company with
office space in West Des Moines and Huntersville until the earlier of
termination of such office leases by 3M or six months after the closing date.
The Company discontinued use of the Huntersville space on January 1, 1999 and
will discontinue use of the West Des Moines space during March 1999. From that
date, the Company will not have any office facilities.

None
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
A special meeting of the shareholders of PACE Health Management Systems, Inc.
was held on October 7, 1998.

declared by the Board of Directors, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled
to receive annual dividends at the rate of $0.175 per share. The Board has
declared no cash dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock and has no plan
to declare a dividend in the near future other than in connection with the
completion of a follow-on transaction or the liquidation of the Company. As of
March 4, 1999, there were 76 shareholders of record and approximately 1,000
beneficial shareholders of the Company's common stock.

Healthcare Software Solutions, L.C. (HSS), an affiliate of Wellmark, Inc.
(formerly IASD Health Services Corporation). The MR2000 product integrated
traditional paper charting activities into a system that improved practice
efficiency and quality of care.
As of December 31, 1997, PACE had 74 customers under contract and had completed
installation of the Graphical PACE CMS in six facilities. During 1997, the
Company signed new contracts valued at over $4,000,000; however, the lack of

1998. These reductions were primarily targeted at legacy non-graphical product
cost centers, allowing the Company to continue directing resources into the
Graphical PACE CMS development and sales efforts and remain focused on current
implementation agreements.
On October 7, 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its
assets to, and the assumption of certain of its liabilities by, 3M. The sale was
made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 1998, as amended, as
described in Company's definitive proxy statement dated September 14, 1998. The
Transaction was approved by the holders of both the common stock and the
preferred stock at a special meeting of shareholders held on October 7, 1998.
The purchase price of the Transaction was approximately $5.9 million, including
$4.75 million in cash (of which $750,000 was originally placed in escrow to be
held for nine months to secure the Company's indemnification obligations under
the Asset Purchase Agreement), plus the assumption of substantially all of the
Company's liabilities other than $2.1 million in line of credit balances, which
were paid off from proceeds at closing. 3M offered positions to most of the
Company's employees and has assumed full support of the Company's customers.
Subsequent to the closing of the Transaction, the Company agreed that $25,000 of
the amount in escrow could be paid to 3M as part of a purchase price adjustment
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, leaving an escrow balance of
$725,000.
Following the sale (beginning October 7, 1998) the Company has no ongoing
operations and no revenues and has minimal operating expenses. The Company
presently has only one part-time employee. The Company's December 31, 1998
balance sheet reflects cash (including the escrow balance pursuant to the
Transaction) in excess of $2.0 million and minimal debt.

<PAGE>
The net proceeds from the sale will be retained by the Company pending a
determination of whether to engage in a follow-on transaction. The Company has
been seeking a business combination with another entity, before considering
possible liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Company believes that
with the cash on hand and net operating loss carryforwards, subject to the
limitation of such carryforwards under the Internal Revenue Code, such a
combination may be attractive to potential partners and would better serve the
interests of the Company's shareholders. As of the date of this Form 10-KSB, no
definitive agreement has been signed for a follow-on transaction. If no suitable
business combination is identified within a reasonable period of time, the
Company may elect to liquidate and distribute the remaining net proceeds to
shareholders. If the Company liquidated at the present time, all of the net
assets of the Company would be paid to holders of the Company's preferred stock.
Prior to the sale of assets to 3M, the Company derived substantially all of its
revenues from the sale of PACE systems including (a) software license fees, (b)
software implementation and installation services and (c) hardware sales.
Revenue from software license fees was recognized upon delivery of the software,
provided that collectibility was probable and the Company has no significant
obligations remaining under the software licensing agreement. The estimated
costs of any insignificant remaining obligations was accrued and charged to
costs and expenses at the time of revenue recognition. Revenue from software
license fee agreements that require significant customization was accounted for
over the length of the implementation period using the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting. Revenue from implementation and installation services was
accounted for separately from the software license fees and recognized when the
services were performed. Revenue from hardware sales was recognized upon
shipment or upon completion of significant staging and configuration
obligations. Customer support services, which include system updates, were
recognized over the period the services are performed.
Prior to the asset sale, the Company capitalized software development costs that
relate primarily to either the development of new software or significant
enhancements to existing software. Software costs were capitalized in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," which
required capitalization of expenses following determination of technical
feasibility and until the software was ready for general release. The
capitalized costs were amortized by the greater of (a) the ratio that current
gross revenues for software sales bear to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenues for such software sales, or (b) the straight-line method
over the estimated economic life of the software, usually three to seven years.
At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer
software product were compared to the net realizable value of the product and
the amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the net realizable
value was written off. The net realizable value was the estimated future gross
revenues from a product, reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and
disposing of that product.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NET REVENUES: Net revenues include systems revenues (composed of software
license fees, hardware sales and implementation fees) and customer support
services. The Company's net revenues were $1,151,415 and $2,958,160 in 1998 and
1997, respectively, representing a decrease of 61%. Revenues from software
license fees decreased 59% to $206,998 in 1998 compared to $501,171 in 1997.
Revenues from hardware sales decreased 98% to $24,505 in 1998 compared to
$1,363,112 in 1997. Revenues from implementation services decreased 46% to
$238,830 in 1998 compared to $444,359 in 1997. Systems revenues decreased
throughout the year as implementation of older contracts were completed and no
new implementations were initiated. Revenues for 1997 were mainly attributable
to software licensing fees,
-6-
<PAGE>
hardware sales and implementation services on 2 new customers initiated in the
first quarter of 1997. These two contracts accounted for 41% of net revenues in
1997. Customer support services revenues were $681,082 and $649,518 in 1998 and
1997, respectively, representing an increase of 5% as the Company's installed
client base stayed fairly constant.
COST OF SYSTEMS REVENUES: Costs of systems revenues include hardware purchases,
commissions, and royalties payable to third parties. The Company's cost of
systems revenues was $50,169 and $1,415,262 in 1998 and 1997, respectively,
representing a decrease of 97%, primarily as a result of reduced costs
associated with the decreased hardware sales.
CLIENT SERVICES: Client services expenses include salaries and expenses related
to implementation, installation and support. Client services expenses were
$812,243 and $1,469,993 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a decrease
of 45%. This decrease was attributable to the corporate downsizing in February
1998, followed by the asset sale in October when all remaining client service
employees were terminated.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: Product development expenses include salaries and expenses
related to development and documentation of software systems, net of capitalized
software development costs. Product development expenses were $1,030,853 and
$1,922,776 in 1998 and 1997 respectively, representing a decrease of 59%. This
decrease was attributable to the corporate downsizing in February 1998, followed
by the asset sale in October when all remaining technical services employees
were terminated. The Company capitalized $59,216 and $589,941 of product
development costs and amortized $167,451 and $215,365 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
PURCHASED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: As a result of the HSS acquisition on May
30, 1997, the Company expensed in-process research and development in the amount
of $588,502.
SALES AND MARKETING: Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, advertising,
trade show costs and travel expenses related to the sale and marketing of the
Company's systems. Sales and marketing expenses were $411,960 and $1,375,999 in
1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a decrease of 81%. This decrease was
attributable to the corporate downsizing in February 1998, followed by the asset
sale in October when all remaining sales and marketing personnel were
terminated.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE: General and administrative expenses include salaries
and expenses for the corporate administration and finance, legal, insurance,
rent and depreciation expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$1,113,321 and $1,694,337 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a
decrease of 40%. This decrease was attributable to the corporate downsizing in
February 1998, followed by the asset sale in October when all but two remaining
administrative personnel were terminated. Included in the 1998 expense is
$260,000 of compensation expense recognized from a 1996 stock option grant, as
compared to $96,750 in 1997. Also included in 1998 expense are $495,675 of
retention bonuses paid to employees on June 30 and in October to incentivize
employees to remain with the Company through closing of the Transaction and a
payment of $187,198 to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer under his
employment agreement upon completion of the Transaction.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) NET: Other income (expense), net is comprised primarily
of interest income, interest expense and income from the gain on sale of assets.
Interest income and interest expense reflect minimal change from 1997 to 1998,
as debt and cash balances remained constant until after the asset sale to 3M in
October 1998.
-7-
<PAGE>
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
NET REVENUES: Net revenues include systems revenues and customer support
services. The Company's net revenues were $2,958,160 and $3,040,400 in 1997 and
1996, respectively, representing a decrease of 3%. Revenues from software
license fees decreased 206% to $501,171 in 1997 compared to $1,534,000 in 1996.
Revenues from hardware sales increased 68% to $1,363,112 in 1997 compared to
$810,864 in 1996. Revenues from implementation services increased 62% to
$444,359 in 1997 compared to $274,549 in 1996 as a result of increased
installations initiated during 1997. Revenues for 1997 were mainly attributable
to software licensing fees, hardware sales and implementation services on 2 new
customers initiated in the first quarter of 1997. These two contracts accounted
for 41% of net revenues in 1997. Revenues for 1996 were mainly attributable to
software licensing fees and hardware sales on a 20-site contract initiated in
the first quarter of 1996. In the fourth quarter of 1996, this client expanded
the contract to include an additional 8 sites which accounted for the majority
of the decrease in software license fees in 1997 compared to 1996. This contract
accounted for 10% and 64% of net revenues in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Customer support services revenues were $649,518 and $420,987 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively, representing an increase of 54%. This increase was due to
additional maintenance contracts resulting from the continued growth in the
Company's installed client base.
COST OF SYSTEMS REVENUES: Costs of systems revenues include hardware purchases,
commissions, and royalties payable to third parties. The Company's cost of
systems revenues was $1,415,262 and $853,777 in 1997 and 1996, respectively,
representing an increase of 66%, primarily as a result of costs associated with
increased hardware sales. Cost of systems revenues as a percentage of net
revenues was 48% and 28% in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Total cost of systems
revenues as a percentage of total net revenues in future periods could reflect
considerable variations depending on the product mixes of revenues.
CLIENT SERVICES: Client services expenses include salaries and expenses related
to implementation, installation and support. Client services expenses were
$1,469,993 and $890,287 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing an increase
of 65%. This increase was primarily due to increases in personnel and payroll
related expenses needed to support the new sales and growth in the installed
client base.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: Product development expenses include salaries and expenses
related to development and documentation of software systems, net of capitalized
software development costs. Product development expenses were $1,922,776 and
$1,748,645 in 1997 and 1996 respectively, representing an increase of 10%. The
Company capitalized $589,941 and $495,399 of product development costs and
amortized $215,365 and $213,175 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
WRITE-OFF OF CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE: Write-off of capitalized software development
costs reflects a one-time adjustment of $1,270,835 during 1996. This write-off
reflects the unamortized costs of developing the Company's original text-based
version of CMS. This version of the product will no longer be offered for sale
and, as a result, any net realizable value to the Company for that product is
minimal. This adjustment was made following the Company's delivery and
implementation of its new three-tier Graphical User Interface Solution (GUI)
during the third quarter of 1996.
PURCHASED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: As a result of the HSS acquisition on May
30, 1997, the Company expensed in-process research and development in the amount
of $588,502.
SALES AND MARKETING: Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, advertising,
trade show costs and travel expenses related to the sale and marketing of the
Company's systems. Sales and marketing expenses were $1,375,999 and $1,364,727
in 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing an increase of less than 1%.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE: General and administrative expenses include salaries
and expenses for the corporate administration and finance, legal, insurance,
rent and depreciation expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$1,694,337 and $1,790,130 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing a
decrease of 5%.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET: Other income (expense) net is comprised primarily
of interest income and expenses: Other income (expense) net was ($169,506) and
$97,810 in 1997 and 1996, representing a decrease of $267,316. This decrease was
a result of decreased interest income caused by reduced cash balances and
increased interest expense caused by additional borrowing on the line of credit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception in 1987 through 1994, the Company's primary source of funding
for working capital needs, capital expenditures and its operating losses was
from the sale of common and convertible preferred stock. During this time, the
Company completed numerous private placements, receiving approximately $7.8
million in aggregate net proceeds. In 1995, the Company completed its initial
public offering by selling 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share
for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.5 million. Additionally, in
September 1996, PACE sold 900,000 shares of common stock at $3.25 per share
providing net proceeds of approximately $2.8 million. In the third and fourth
quarters of 1997, the Company sold 2,250,000 shares of convertible preferred
stock at $1.00 per share representing total proceeds of $2,250,000. In the first
quarter of 1998, the Company sold an additional 625,000 shares of convertible
participating preferred stock at $1.00 per share representing proceeds of
$625,000. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 2 shares of common
stock.
For 1998 the Company reflected net income of $951,670, as a result of the
$3,374,354 gain on sale of assets to 3M, and cash used in operations of
$948,197. Net of this gain on sale the Company's net loss would have been
$2,422,684. For the two years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Company
reflected net losses of $5,678,215 and $4,780,191, respectively, resulting in
net cash used in operations for each of the years of $3,821,955 and $2,969,718,
respectively. For each of the years presented, the Company incurred depreciation
and amortization expenses totaling $509,252, $658,342 and $423,103,
respectively.
Customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $1,639,743
to $12,096 at December 31, 1998 from $1,651,839 at December 31, 1997. Of this
decrease, $513,390 was attributable to the reduction in operations during the
year and $1,126,353 of liabilities were assumed by 3M following the asset sale
in October 1998. Accounts receivable decreased $1,372,687 to $2,798 at December
31, 1998 from $1,375,485 at December 31, 1997. Of this decrease $1,201,159 was
attributable to the reduction in operations during the year and the balance of
approximately $163,000 was sold to 3M in the asset sale.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996 was $71,088, $949,733, and $853,898, respectively. Cash
used in investing activities was primarily for the purchase of computer and
office equipment and capitalized software costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996 was $2,531,913, $3,610,000, and $2,679,002, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities during 1998 was primarily related to
net proceeds of $4,015,262 from the sale of assets to 3M. During 1997 and 1996
net cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to proceeds from
the sale of common and convertible preferred stock. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 1997, the Company also received net cash of $1,500,000 from the
Company's line of credit.

<PAGE>
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had total liabilities of only $12,096 and a
cash balance of $2,037,984, of which $725,000 is held in escrow until July 1999
to secure the Company's indemnification obligations under the asset sale to 3M.
As of March 1, 1999 the Company has no ongoing operations and no revenues and
has minimal operating expenses. The Company presently has only one part-time
employee.
The net proceeds from the sale will be retained by the Company pending a
determination of whether to engage in a follow-on transaction. The Company has
been seeking a business combination with another entity, before considering
possible liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Company believes that
with the cash on hand and net operating loss carryforwards, subject to the
limitation of such carryforwards under the Internal Revenue Code, such a
combination may be attractive to potential partners and would better serve the
interests of the Company's shareholders. As of the date of this Form 10-KSB, no
definitive agreement has been signed for a follow-on transaction. If no suitable
business combination is identified within a reasonable period of time, the
Company may elect to liquidate and distribute the remaining net proceeds to
shareholders. If the Company liquidated at the present time, all of the net
assets of the Company would be paid to holders of the Company's preferred stock.
YEAR 2000 CONVERSION
As of December 31, 1998 the Company has no operations and as such management
believes that the year 2000 conversion should have no adverse effect on the
Company.

PACE HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of business: Prior to the sale of the majority of its assets, the Company
was in the business of developing, marketing and supporting advanced clinical
software that automates the recording, storage and management of patient care
information. The software provided complete care management solutions to
physicians, nurses and other clinicians in multiple settings at the point of
care.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is as follows:
Cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market.
Furniture and equipment: Furniture and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed by straight-line and 200%
declining-balance methods over five to seven-year lives.
Computer software development costs: Computer software development costs are
capitalized and amortized by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross
revenues for software sales bear to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenues for such software sales, or (b) the straight-line
method over the estimated economic life, usually three to seven years, of the
software. Amortization expense was $167,451, $202,711, and $213,175 in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer
software product is compared to the net realizable value of that product and
the amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the net
realizable value is written off.
Revenue recognition:
Systems revenues: Systems revenues consist of software license fees,
software implementation and installation services and hardware sales.
Revenue from software license fees is recognized upon delivery of the
software provided that collectibility is probable and the Company has no
significant obligations remaining under the software licensing
agreement. The estimated costs of any insignificant remaining
obligations are accrued and charged to costs and expenses at the time of
revenue recognition. Revenue from software license fee agreements that
require significant obligations is accounted for over the length of the
implementation period using the percentage-of-completion method of
accounting.
-18-
<PAGE>
PACE HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue from implementation and installation services is accounted for
separately from the software license fees and recognized when the
services are performed.
Revenue from hardware sales is recognized upon shipment or upon
completion of significant staging and configuration obligations.
Customer support services: Revenue from customer support services, including
system updates, is recognized over the period the services are provided.
Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating
loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
Accounting estimates and assumptions: The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic and diluted loss per share: In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires the Company to present basic and
diluted income (loss) per share amounts. Basic loss per share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
potential common shares consist of stock options and warrants (using the
treasury stock method) and convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted
method).
Stock-based compensation: In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which establishes a fair value based
method for financial accounting and reporting for stock-based employee
compensation plans and for transactions in which an entity issues its equity
instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. However, the new
standard allows employee compensation to continue to be measured by using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion (APBO) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, but
requires expanded disclosures. The Company has elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to
employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the
Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock.

<PAGE>
PACE HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unearned debt guarantee fees: The estimated fair value of the stock warrants
granted to non-employees is determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend rates of 0%,
price volatility of 64%, risk-free interest rates of 6.0% and expected lives of
5 years. The unearned debt guarantee fees are being amortized to interest
expense by the interest method over the period of the related debt.
NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
Common stock warrants
The Company has issued common stock purchase warrants to various shareholders,
directors, employees, and certain accredited investors. One group of warrants
expires ten years after the date of issuance. The second group of warrants
expires five years after the date of issuance. At December 31, 1998, warrants to

Common stock options
In December 1994, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's 1995 Stock
Compensation Plan (the "stock compensation plan"). The stock compensation plan
provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options,
restricted stock, stock bonuses and stock appreciation rights. The stock
compensation plan is administered by the Board of Directors which has the
authority and discretion to determine: the persons to whom the options will be
granted; when the options will be granted; number of shares subject to each
option; the price at which the shares subject to each option may be purchased;
and when each option will become exercisable. Options under the stock
compensation plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the date the options were
granted.

On January 5, 1998 by Board action, the exercise price for all current employee
options was changed to $0.50. At December 31, 1998, options to purchase all
shares were exercisable.
In March 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Nonqualified Executive Stock
Option Plan (the "stock option plan"). The stock option plan provides for the
grant of nonqualified stock options to executive officers of the Company. The
Company has reserved 800,000 shares for issuance pursuant to the stock option
plan. Options may be granted at prices determined by the Board of Directors,
which may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares subject to
the options as of the date of grant. Options vest at the rate of 20% on the
first anniversary date of the grant and 20% on each of the next four anniversary
dates of the grant. On January 5, 1998, by Board action, the exercise price for
all current, non-qualified stock options to executive officers was $0.50.
Options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date the options were granted.
Options to purchase 1,600 shares with an exercise price of $2.75 were exercised
during 1997. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had granted options to
purchase 507,986 shares, all of which were exercisable.
In March 1996, the Company granted a nonqualified stock option to an officer of
the Company to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock which vests 20% on the
first anniversary date of the grant and 20% on each on the next four anniversary
dates of the grant, all of which are exercisable at the price of $0.50 per
share. In addition, the officer received another nonqualified stock option to
purchase 110,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. At the date of
grant, 35,000 shares under the option were eligible for purchase with the
balance vesting at the rate of 15,000 shares per year for five years beginning
one year from the date of grant. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of
the date the options were granted.

Compensation cost charged to income for the grant of stock options for 1998,
1997 and 1996, was $260,000, $96,750 and $116,000, respectively. Had
compensation cost for all of the stock-based compensation plans been determined
based on the grant date fair values of awards (the method described in SFAS No.
123), approximate reported net loss and loss per common and common equivalent
share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts shown below:

The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for grants after December 31, 1994: dividend rate of 0%, price
volatility ranging from 77% to 79%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 5.74%
to 7.40%, and expected lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.
Amortization expense of unearned debt guarantee fees charged to income for the
grant of Series A warrants for 1998 and 1997 was $133,142 and $150,000,
respectively. (None for the year ended December 31, 1996).
The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 are not indicative of future amounts since,
among other reasons, options vest over several years and additional awards
generally are made each year.

The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $7,142,000 and $7,504,000, against
deferred tax assets at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, to reduce the
total to an amount that management believes will ultimately be realized.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable
income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards
are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The net change in the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was an increase (decrease) of
($362,000), $2,304,000 and $1,888,000, during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The provision for income taxes differs from the approximate amount of income tax
benefit determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pretax loss
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, due to the following:

At December 31, 1998, the Company has approximately $16,708,000 of net operating
loss carryforwards to offset future federal taxable income. This net operating
loss carryforward will, if unused, expire in the years 2006 through 2013.

NOTE 11. SALE OF ASSETS
On October 7, 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its
assets to, and the assumption of certain of its liabilities by, Minnesota Mining
and Manufacturing Company ("3M").
The purchase price of the Transaction was approximately $5.9 million, including
$4.75 million in cash (of which $750,000 was originally placed in escrow to be
held until July 1999, to secure the Company's indemnification obligations under
the Asset Purchase Agreement), plus the assumption of substantially all of the
Company's liabilities other than $2.1 million in line of credit balances, which
were paid off from proceeds at closing.
The net proceeds from the sale will be retained by the Company pending a
determination of whether to engage in a follow-on transaction. The Company has
been seeking a business combination with another entity, before considering
possible liquidation and distribution of its assets. If no suitable business
combination is identified within a reasonable period of time, the Company may
elect to liquidate and distribute the remaining net proceeds to shareholders. If
the Company liquidated at the present time, all of the net assets of the Company
would be paid to holders of the Company's preferred stock.

than reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings.
Nonemployee directors who are not affiliated with principal shareholders and who
began service as directors prior to February 1995 (only Mr. Childs and Mr.
Witonsky) have received nonqualified warrants to purchase Common Stock. Mr.
Childs and Mr. Witonsky were each granted warrants to purchase 27,274 shares of
Common Stock of the Company as consideration for serving on the Board of
Directors. The warrants have an exercise price of at least 85% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock, as determined by the Board of Directors, on

Subsequent to February 10, 1995, under the 1995 Stock Compensation Plan, new
non-employee directors receive a nondiscretionary grant of nonqualified stock
options for 21,820 shares upon their election or appointment to the Board. The
Plan provides for automatic grants of nonqualified stock options to new
non-employee directors at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market
value of the shares on the date of grant. One-fifth of such options vest over
each of five years from the date of election or appointment of the new
non-employee director. The non-employee director options are exercisable for
-29-
<PAGE>
ten years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has no discretion
regarding the grant or terms of non-employee director options. Mr. Derzon

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, John Pappajohn, who is a Director of
the Company and who beneficially owns 34.5% of the Company's Common Stock; IAI
Investment Funds, which beneficially owns 48.7% of the Company's Common Stock
and which was at that time an affiliate of R. David Spreng, who was then a
Director of the Company; Edgewater Private Equity Fund, L.P., which beneficially
owns 31.7% of the Company's Common Stock; and an affiliate of EquiTrust
Investment Management Services, Inc. (formerly FBL Investment Advisory Services,
Inc.), which [beneficially owns] 26.4% of the Company's Common Stock, purchased
an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock at a price of
$1.00 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of
Common Stock. For additional information, see "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
MANAGEMENT."
In August 1997, the Company's Board of Directors reduced the exercise price of
all outstanding stock options of the Company to $1.75 per share. In January
1998, the Board of Directors reduced the exercise price of all outstanding stock
options to $.50 per share. In adopting each resolution, the Board determined
that, prior to the amendment, the options no longer provided an incentive for
the holders of such options because the market price of the Company's stock had
declined to substantially below the then-effective exercise price of the
options. In each case, the Board also determined that the amended exercise price
was equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock, within the
meaning of the stock option plans, as of the date of the amendment. These
amendments applied to options held by officers and directors of the Company, as
well as to options held by employees who were not officers or directors. The
number of such options held by each officer and director is set forth under
"SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT."
