President’s Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholders, Clients and Associates:
Fiscal 2005 was an important year in the continued evolution of your Company.
Though this is our 23rd year as a public company, it was a year of many “firsts.”
Financially, the Company turned in record revenue and EPS performance during each
of the year’s quarters, and therefore, had record results for the year as a whole. Company
performance was fueled by our NextGen Division, which grew to account for 83% of the
year’s total Company revenue.
In the product arena, we delivered NextGen 5.0 which represents our first integrated
EPM/EMR product. Our flagship product(s) captured first place in the HIMSS/HUG
awards at our industry’s largest convention.
In addition, we introduced NextGen Express, our first product focused on the smaller
practice marketplace.
We added record numbers of new clients and staff members to our extended family
during the year. I welcome each of you and hope that your first year with us was a
memorable one. It is my sincere hope that this is the first year of a long-lived and
mutually rewarding relationship.
We paid the first (one-time, special) dividend in the Company’s history to shareholders
in March, returning nearly $20 million to our owners. Also in March, we split our stock
(2 for 1) for the first time in more than twenty years.
We navigated through our first year under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
investing significant amounts of time, effort and money that hopefully will prove rewarding
to shareholders over the long term.
For the first time in the past five years, the Company’s board of directors includes
management representation, as both Pat Cline and I were named to the board in May of
2005. We look forward to adding value to future board discussions and deliberations.
In addition to this list of notable “firsts” there were a number of other events that,
while not unique to FY 2005, are nevertheless well worth noting.
Continued strong leadership from our entire executive management team was integral
to the year’s results. Pat Cline, Greg Flynn, and Paul Holt each performed admirably
during the year, and each was complemented by the dedicated and talented teams
working with them.
The Company’s performance was again recognized by the business press. During
the year, we were named to (among others) the Forbes list of the 200 Best Small
Companies in America, BusinessWeek’s Top 100 Growth Companies, the Fortune list
of America’s Fastest Growing Small Companies, and the Business 2.0 list of 100 Hot
Growth Companies.
On behalf of everyone at NextGen and QSI, I would like to thank you for the confidence
you have placed in us. We look to continue to earn your trust.
Sincerely,
Louis Silverman
President & Chief Executive Officer

Company Overview
Quality Systems Inc., comprised of the QSI Division (QSI Division) and a wholly owned subsidiary,
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc. (NextGen Division) (collectively, the Company, we, our,
or us) develops and markets healthcare information systems that automate certain aspects of medical and
dental practices, networks of practices such as physician hospital organizations (PHO’s) and management
service organizations (MSO’s), ambulatory care centers, community health centers, and medical and
dental schools.
The Company, a California corporation formed in 1974, was founded with an early focus on providing
information systems to dental group practices. In the mid-1980’s, we capitalized on the increasing focus
on medical cost containment and further expanded our information processing systems to serve the
medical market. In the mid 1990’s we made two acquisitions that accelerated our penetration of the
medical market. These two acquisitions formed the basis for the NextGen Division. Today, we serve the
medical and dental markets through our two divisions.
The two Divisions operate largely as stand-alone operations, with each Division maintaining its own
distinct product lines, product platforms, development, implementation and support teams, sales staffing,
and branding. The two Divisions share the resources of our “corporate office” which includes a variety of
accounting and other administrative functions. Additionally, there are a small number of clients who are
simultaneously utilizing software from each of our two Divisions.
The QSI Division, co-located with our Corporate Headquarters in Irvine, California, currently focuses on
developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental and certain niche medical practices.
In addition, the Division supports a number of medical clients that utilize the Division’s UNIX1 based
medical practice management software product.
The NextGen Division, with headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania, and a second significant location in
Atlanta, Georgia, focuses principally on developing and marketing products and services for medical
practices.
Both Divisions develop and market practice management software which is designed to automate and
streamline a number of the administrative functions required for operating a medical or dental practice.
Examples of practice management software functions include scheduling and billing capabilities. It is
important to note that in both the medical and dental environments, practice management software
systems have already been implemented by the vast majority of practices. Therefore, we actively compete
for the replacement market.
In addition, both Divisions develop and market software that automates the patient record and enhances
patient-provider interactions. Adoption of this software, commonly referred to as clinical software, is in
its relatively early stages. Therefore, we are typically competing to replace paper-based patient record
alternatives as opposed to replacing previously purchased systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)/connectivity products are intended to automate a number of manual,
often paper-based or telephony intensive communications between patients and/or providers and/or
payors. Two of the more common EDI services are forwarding insurance claims electronically from
providers to payors and assisting practices with issuing statements to patients. Most practices utilize at
least some of these services from us or one of our competitors. Other EDI/connectivity services are used
1 UNIX is a registered trademark of the AT&T Corporation.

more sporadically by client practices. We typically compete to displace incumbent vendors for claims and
statements accounts, and attempt to increase usage of other elements in our EDI/connectivity product line.
In general, EDI services are only sold to those accounts utilizing software from one of our Divisions.
The QSI Division’s practice management software suite utilizes a UNIX operating system. Its Clinical
Product Suite (CPS) utilizes a Windows NT2 operating system and can be fully integrated with the
practice management software from each Division. CPS incorporates a wide range of clinical tools
including, but not limited to, periodontal charting and digital imaging of X-ray and inter-oral camera
images as part of the electronic patient record. The Division develops, markets, and manages our
EDI/connectivity applications. The QSInet Application Service Provider (ASP/Internet) offering is also
developed and marketed by the Division.
Our NextGen Division develops and sells proprietary electronic medical records software and practice
management systems under the NextGen®3 product name. Major product categories of the NextGen
suite include Electronic Medical Records (NextGenemr), Enterprise Practice Management (NextGenepm),
Enterprise Appointment Scheduling (NextGeneas), Enterprise Master Patient Index (NextGenepi), NextGen
Image Control System (NextGenics), Managed Care Server (NextGenmcs), Electronic Data Interchange,
System Interfaces, Internet Operability (NextGenweb), a Patient-centric and Provider-centric Web Portal
solution (NextMD4.com), and a handheld product (NextGenpda). During the year ended March 31, 2005,
the NextGen Division introduced NextGen Express, a version of NextGenemr designed for small practices.
NextGen products utilize Microsoft Windows technology and can operate in a client-server environment
as well as via private intranet, the Internet, or in an ASP environment.
We continue to pursue product enhancement initiatives within each Division. The majority of such
expenditures are currently targeted to the NextGen Division product line and client base.
Inclusive of divisional EDI revenue, the NextGen Division accounted for approximately 82.7% of our
revenue for fiscal 2005 compared to 76.8% in fiscal 2004. Inclusive of divisional EDI revenue ,the QSI
Division accounted for 17.3% and 23.2% of revenue in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The NextGen
Division’s year over year revenue grew at 35.2% and 45.8% in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively, while
the QSI Division’s year over year revenue declined by 6.8% and 5.3% in fiscal 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
In addition to the aforementioned software solutions which we offer through our two divisions, each
division offers comprehensive hardware and software installation services, maintenance and support
services, and system training services.
Industry Background
To compete in the continually changing healthcare environment, providers are increasingly using
technology to help maximize the efficiency of their business practices, to assist in enhancing patient care,
and to maintain the privacy of patient information.
As the reimbursement environment continues to evolve, more healthcare providers enter into contracts,
often with multiple entities, which define the terms under which care is administered and paid for. The
diversity of payor organizations, as well as additional government regulation and changes in

trademarks of the Microsoft Corporation.

reimbursement models, have greatly increased the complexity of pricing, billing, reimbursement, and
records management for medical and dental practices. To operate effectively, healthcare provider
organizations must efficiently manage patient care and other information and workflow processes which
increasingly extend across multiple locations and business entities.
In response, healthcare provider organizations have placed increasing demands on their information
systems. Initially, these information systems automated financial and administrative functions. As it
became necessary to manage patient flow processes, the need arose to integrate “back-office” data with
such clinical information as patient test results and office visits. The Company believes information
systems must facilitate management of patient information incorporating administrative, financial and
clinical information from multiple entities. In addition, large healthcare organizations increasingly require
information systems that can deliver high performance in environments with multiple concurrent
computer users.
Many existing healthcare information systems were designed for limited administrative tasks such as
billing and scheduling and can neither accommodate multiple computing environments nor operate
effectively across multiple locations and entities. We believe that practices that leverage technology to
more efficiently handle patient clinical data as well as administrative, financial and other practice
management data, will be best able to enhance patient flow, pursue cost efficiencies, and improve quality
of care. As healthcare organizations transition to new computer platforms and newer technologies, we
believe such organizations will be migrating toward the implementation of enterprise-wide, patient-
centric computing systems embedded with automated clinical patient records.
Company Strategy
The Company’s strategy is, at present, to focus on it’s core software business. Among the key elements
central to this strategy are:
• Continued development and enhancement of select software solutions in target markets;
• Continued investments in our infrastructure including but not limited to product development,
sales, marketing, implementation, and support;
• Continued efforts to make infrastructure investments within an overall context of maintaining
reasonable expense discipline; and
• Addition of new customers through maintaining and expanding sales, marketing and product
development activities.
While these are the key elements of our current strategy, there can be no guarantees that our strategy will
not change, or that we will succeed in achieving these goals individually or collectively.
Products
In response to the growing need for more comprehensive, cost-effective healthcare information solutions
for physician and dental practices, our systems provide our clients with the ability to redesign patient care
and other workflow processes while improving productivity through facilitation of managed access to
patient information. Utilizing our proprietary software in combination with third party hardware and
software solutions, our products enable the integration of a variety of administrative and clinical
information operations. Leveraging more than 30 years of experience in the healthcare information
services industry, we believe that we continue to add value by providing our clients with sophisticated,
full-featured software systems along with comprehensive systems implementation, maintenance and
support services. Any single transaction may or may not include software, hardware or services.
Practice Management Systems. Our products consist primarily of proprietary healthcare software
applications together with third party hardware and other non-industry specific software. The systems
range in capacity from one to thousands of users, allowing us to address the needs of both small and large
6
organizations. The systems are modular in design and may be expanded to accommodate changing client
requirements.
The QSI Division’s character-based practice management system is available in both dental and medical
versions and primarily uses the IBM RS60005 central processing unit and IBM'S AIX6 version of the
UNIX operating system as a platform for our application software enabling a wide range of flexible and
functional systems. The hardware components, as well as the requisite operating system licenses, are
purchased from manufacturers or distributors of those components. We configure and test the hardware
components and incorporate our software and other third party packages into completed systems tailored
to accommodate particular client requirements. We continually evaluate third party hardware
components with a view toward utilizing hardware that is functional, reliable and cost-effective.
NextGenepm is the NextGen division’s practice management offering. NextGenepm has been developed
using a graphical user interface (GUI) client-server platform for compatibility with Windows 2000,
Windows NT and Windows XP operating systems and relational databases that are ANSI SQL-
compliant. NextGenepm is scalable and includes a master patient index, enterprise-wide appointment
scheduling with referral tracking, clinical support, and centralized or decentralized patient financial
management based on either a managed care or fee-for-service model. The system’s three-tiered
architecture allows work to be performed on the database server, the application server and the client
workstation.
We also offer practice management solutions for both dental and medical practices through the Internet.
These products are marketed under the QSINet and NextGenweb trade names, respectively.
Clinical Systems. Our dental charting software system, the Clinical Product Suite (CPS), is a
comprehensive solution designed specifically for the dental group practice environment. CPS integrates
the dental practice management product with a computer-based clinical information system that
incorporates a wide range of clinical tools, including:
• Electronic charting of dental procedures, treatment plans and existing conditions;
• Periodontal charting via light-pen, voice-activation, or keyboard entry for full periodontal
examinations and PSR scoring;
• Digital imaging of X-ray and intra-oral camera images;
• Computer-based patient education modules, viewable chair-side to enhance case presentation;
• Full access to patient information, treatment plans, and insurance plans via a fully integrated
interface with our dental practice management product; and
• Document and image scanning for digital storage and linkage to the electronic patient record.
The result is a comprehensive clinical information management system that helps practices save time,
reduce costs, improve case presentation, and enhance the delivery of dental services and quality of care.
Clinical information is managed and maintained electronically thus forming an electronic patient record
that allows for the implementation of the “chartless” office.
CPS incorporates Windows-based client-server technology consisting of one or more file servers together
with any combination of one or more desktop, laptop, or pen-based PC workstations. The file server(s)
used in connection with CPS utilize(s) a Windows NT or Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating
system and the hardware is typically a Pentium7-based single or multi-processor platform. Based on the

7
server configuration chosen, CPS is scalable from one to hundreds of workstations. A typical
configuration may also include redundant disk storage, magnetic tape units, intra- and extra-oral cameras,
digital X-ray components, digital scanners, conventional and flat screen displays, and printers. The
hardware components, including the requisite operating system licenses, are purchased from third party
manufacturers or distributors either directly by the customer or by us for resale to the customer.
NextGen provides clinical software applications that are complementary to, and are integrated with, our
medical practice management offerings and interface with many of the other leading practice
management software systems on the market. The applications incorporated into our practice
management solutions and others such as scheduling, eligibility, billing and claims processing are
augmented by clinical information captured by NextGenemr, including services rendered and diagnoses
used for billing purposes. We believe that we currently provide a comprehensive information
management solution for the medical marketplace.
NextGenemr was developed with client-server architecture and a GUI and utilizes Microsoft Windows
2000, Windows NT or Windows XP on each workstation and either Windows 2000, Windows NT,
Windows XP or UNIX on the database server. NextGenemr maintains data using industry standard
relational database engines such as Microsoft SQL Server8 or Oracle9. The system is scalable from one to
hundreds of workstations.
NextGenemr stores and maintains clinical data including:
• Data captured using user-customized input “templates”;
• Scanned or electronically acquired images, including X-rays and photographs;
• Data electronically acquired through interfaces with clinical instruments or external systems;
• Other records, documents or notes, including electronically captured handwriting and annotations;
and
• Digital voice recordings.
NextGenemr also offers a workflow module, prescription management, automatic document and letter
generation, patient education, referral tracking, interfaces to billing and lab systems, physician alerts and
reminders, and powerful reporting and data analysis tools.
NextGenpda, the Pocket-PC-based suite of solutions, allows mobile health professionals to utilize many of
NextGen’s functions using a palm-sized device.

Internet Applications. Our NextGen Division maintains an Internet-based consumer health
portal, NextMD.com. NextMD.com is a vertical portal for the healthcare industry, linking patients with
their physicians, insurers, laboratories, and online pharmacies, while providing a centralized source of
health-oriented information for both consumers and medical professionals. Patients whose physicians are
linked to the portal are able to request appointments, send appointment changes or cancellations, receive
test results on-line, request prescription refills, view and/or pay their statements, and communicate with
their physicians, all in a secure, on-line environment. Our NextGen suite of information systems are or
can be linked to NextMD.com, integrating a number of these features with physicians’ existing systems.
Our QSI Division also provides a web-based application called QSINet which allows clients to access
information from their practice management system via the Internet. This application also enables
providers to offer their patients convenient services such as on-line appointment scheduling and electronic
bill payment through the client’s website, and posts this data directly to the client’s existing practice
management system.
Sales and Marketing
We sell and market our products nationwide primarily through a direct sales force. The efforts of the
direct sales force are augmented by a small number of reseller relationships established by us. Software
license sales to resellers represented less than 10% of total revenue for the years ended March 31, 2005
and 2004.
Our direct sales force typically makes presentations to potential clients by demonstrating the system and
our capabilities on the prospective client's premises. Sales efforts aimed at smaller practices are
primarily performed remotely via telephone or internet based presentations. Our sales and marketing
employees identify prospective clients through a variety of means, including referrals from existing
clients, industry consultants, contacts at professional society meetings, trade shows and seminars, trade
journal advertising, direct mail advertising, and telemarketing.
Our sales cycle can vary significantly and typically ranges from three to twelve months from initial
contact to contract execution. Software licenses are normally delivered to a customer almost immediately
upon receipt of an order. Implementation and training services are normally rendered based on a
mutually agreed upon timetable. As part of the fees paid by our clients, we receive up-front licensing
fees. Clients have the option to purchase maintenance services which, if purchased, are invoiced on a
monthly or quarterly basis.
Several clients have purchased our practice management software and, in turn, are providing either time-
share or billing services to single and group practice practitioners. Under the time-share or billing service
agreements, the client provides the use of our software for a fee to one or more practitioners. Although we
typically do not receive a fee directly from the distributor's customers, implementation of such
arrangements has, from time to time, resulted in the purchase of additional software capacity by the
distributor, as well as new software purchases made by the distributor's customers should such customers
decide to perform the practice management functions in-house.
We continue to concentrate our direct sales and marketing efforts on medical and dental practices,
networks of such practices including MSO’s and PHO’s, professional schools, community health centers
and other ambulatory care settings.
MSO’s, PHO’s and similar networks to which we have sold systems provide use of our software to those
group and single physician practices associated with the organization or hospital on either a service basis
or by directing us to contract with those practices for the sale of stand-alone systems.
We have also entered into marketing assistance agreements with certain of our clients pursuant to which
the clients allow us to demonstrate to potential clients the use of systems on the existing clients' premises.
9
From time to time we assist prospective clients in identifying third party sources for financing the
purchase of our systems. The financing is typically obtained by the client directly from institutional
lenders and typically takes the form of a loan from the institution secured by the system to be purchased
or a leasing arrangement. We do not guarantee the financing nor retain any continuing interest in the
transaction.
We have numerous clients and do not believe that the loss of any single client would have a material
adverse effect on us. No client accounted for ten percent or more of net revenue during the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2005, 2004, or 2003.
Customer Service and Support
We believe our success is attributable in part to our customer service and support departments. We offer
support to our clients seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Our client support staff is comprised of specialists who are knowledgeable in the areas of software and
hardware as well as in the day-to-day operations of a practice. System support activities range from
correcting minor procedural problems in the client's system to performing complex database
reconstructions or software updates.
We utilize automated online support systems which assist clients in resolving minor problems and
facilitate automated electronic retrieval of problems and symptoms following a client's call to the
automated support system. Additionally, our online support systems maintain call records, available at
both the client’s facility and our offices.
We offer our clients support services for most system components, including hardware and software, for a
fixed monthly or quarterly fee. Customers also receive access to future unspecified versions of the
software, on a when-and-if available basis, as part of support services. We also subcontract, in certain
instances, with third party vendors to perform specific hardware maintenance tasks.
Implementation and Training
We offer full service implementation and training services. When a client signs a contract for the
purchase of a system that includes implementation and training services, a client manager/implementation
specialist trained in medical and/or dental group practice procedures is assigned to assist the client in the
installation of the system and the training of appropriate practice staff. Implementation services include
loading the software, training customer personnel, data conversion, running test data, and assisting in the
development and documentation of procedures. Implementation and training services are provided by our
employees as well as certified third parties and certain resellers.
Training may include a combination of computer assisted instruction (CAI) for certain of our products,
remote training techniques and training classes conducted at the client's or our office(s). CAI consists of
workbooks, computer interaction and self-paced instruction. CAI is also offered to clients, for an
additional charge, after the initial training program is completed for the purpose of training new and
additional employees. Remote training allows a trainer at our offices to train one or more people at a
client site via telephone and computer connection, thus allowing an interactive and client-specific mode
of training without the expense and time required for travel. In addition, our on-line “help” and other
documentation features facilitate client training as well as ongoing support.

Competition
The markets for healthcare information systems are intensely competitive. The industry is highly
fragmented and includes numerous competitors, none of which we believe dominates these markets. The
electronic patient records and connectivity markets, in particular, are subject to rapid changes in
technology, and we expect that competition in these market segments will increase as new competitors
enter the market. We believe our principal competitive advantages are the features and capabilities of our
products and services, our high level of customer support, and our extensive experience in the industry.
Production Enhancement and Development
The healthcare information management and computer software and hardware industries are characterized
by rapid technological change requiring us to engage in continuing investments to update, enhance, and
improve our systems. During fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003, we expended approximately $9.6
million, $8.7 million, and $6.7 million, respectively, on research and development activities, including
capitalized software amounts of $2.7 million, $2.6 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. In addition, a
portion of our product enhancements have resulted from software development work performed under
contracts with our clients.
Employees
As of May 27, 2005, we employed 418 persons, of which 409 were full-time employees. We believe that
our future success depends in part upon recruiting and retaining qualified sales, marketing and technical
personnel as well as other employees.
Risks Relating to our Business
The more prominent risks and uncertainties inherent in our business are described below. However,
additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations will likely suffer. Any of these or
other factors could harm our business and future results of operations and may cause you to lose all or
part of your investment.
We face significant competition. The markets for healthcare information systems are intensely
competitive and we face significant competition from a number of different sources. Several of our
competitors have significantly greater name recognition as well as substantially greater financial,
technical, product development and marketing resources than we do.
We compete in all of our markets with other major healthcare related companies, information
management companies, systems integrators, and other software developers. Competitive pressures and
other factors, such as new product introductions by ourselves or our competitors, may result in price or
market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our applications will achieve broad market
acceptance or will successfully compete with other available software products.
Our inability to make initial sales of our systems to newly formed groups and/or healthcare providers that
are replacing or substantially modifying their healthcare information systems could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If new systems sales do not
materialize, our near term and longer term revenue will be negatively affected.
11
in revenue recognition or other accounting guidelines employed by us and/or
Our quarterly operating results have historically fluctuated and may do so in the future. Our revenue
has fluctuated in the past, and may fluctuate in the future from quarter to quarter and period to period, as a
result of a number of factors including, without limitation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the size and timing of orders from clients;
the specific mix of software, hardware, and services in client orders;
the length of sales cycles and installation processes;
the ability of our clients to obtain financing for the purchase of our products;
changes in pricing policies or price reductions by us or our competitors;
the timing of new product announcements and product introductions by us or our competitors;
changes
established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other rule-making bodies;
the availability and cost of system components;
the financial stability of clients;
•
•
• market acceptance of new products, applications and product enhancements;
•
•
•
our ability to develop, introduce and market new products, applications and product enhancements;
our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs;
deferrals of client orders in anticipation of new products, applications, product enhancements, or
public/private sector initiatives;
execution of or changes to our strategy;
personnel changes; and
general market/economic factors.
•
•
•
Our software products are generally shipped as orders are received and accordingly, we have historically
operated with a minimal backlog of license fees. As a result, revenue in any quarter is dependent on
orders booked and shipped in that quarter and is not predictable with any degree of certainty.
Furthermore, our systems can be relatively large and expensive and individual systems sales can represent
a significant portion of our revenue and profits for a quarter such that the loss or deferral of even one such
sale can have a significant adverse impact on our quarterly revenue and profitability.
Clients often defer systems purchases until our quarter end, so quarterly results generally cannot be
predicted and frequently are not known until the quarter has concluded.
Our sales are dependent upon clients’ initial decisions to replace or substantially modify their existing
information systems, and subsequently a decision as to which products and services to purchase. These
are major decisions for healthcare providers, and accordingly, the sales cycle for our systems can vary
significantly and typically ranges from three to twelve months from initial contact to contract
execution/shipment.
Because a significant percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of systems
sales, implementations, and installations can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter
to quarter. As a result, we believe that interim period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations
are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
Further, our historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance for any
particular period.
We currently recognize revenue pursuant to SOP 97-2, as modified by SOP 98-9 and SAB 104. SAB 104
summarizes the staff’s views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition
in financial statements.
12
There can be no assurance that application and subsequent interpretations of these pronouncements will
not further modify our revenue recognition policies, or that such modifications would not have a material
adverse effect on the operating results reported in any particular quarter or year.
Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that our operating results may be below the expectations
of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of our common stock would likely be
materially adversely affected.
The price of our shares and the trading volume of our shares have been volatile historically and may
continue to be volatile. Volatility may be caused by a number of factors including but not limited to:
actual or anticipated quarterly variations in operating results;
rumors about our performance, software solutions, or merger and acquisition activity;
changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of securities analysts;
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
(cid:131) governmental regulatory action;
(cid:131) health care reform measures;
(cid:131)
client relationship developments;
(cid:131) purchases or sales of company stock;
(cid:131)
changes occurring in the markets in general; and
(cid:131) other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the market for software, healthcare and high technology
companies in particular, has experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect
the trading price of our common stock, regardless of actual operating performance.
Two of our directors are significant shareholders, which makes it possible for them to have significant
influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval and which
influence may be alleged to conflict with our interests and the interests of our other shareholders. Two
of our directors and principal shareholders beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 38% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock at March 31, 2005. The Company's Bylaws permit its
shareholders to cumulate their votes, the effect of which is to provide shareholders with sufficiently large
concentrations of Company shares the opportunity to assure themselves one or more seats on the
Company's Board. The amounts required to assure a Board position can vary based upon the number of
shares outstanding, the number of shares voting, the number of directors to be elected and the number of
shares held by the shareholder exercising cumulative voting rights. In the event that cumulative voting is
invoked, it is likely that the two of our directors holding an aggregate of approximately 38% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock at March 31, 2005 will each have sufficient votes to assure
themselves of one or more seats on our Board. With or without cumulative voting, these shareholders
will have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval,
including the election of our directors and other corporate actions. In addition, such influence by one or
both of these affiliates could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting to purchase us, take
us over, and/or reducing the market price offered for our common stock in such an event.
We are dependent on our principal products and our new product development. We currently derive
substantially all of our net revenue from sales of our healthcare information systems and related services.
We believe that a primary factor in the market acceptance of our systems has been our ability to meet the
needs of users of healthcare information systems. Our future financial performance will depend in large
part on our ability to continue to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our clients through the
timely development and successful introduction and implementation of new and enhanced versions of our
systems and other complementary products. We have historically expended a significant percentage of
13
our net revenue on product development and believe that significant continuing product development
efforts will be required to sustain our growth. Continued investment in our sales staff and our client
implementation and support staffs will also be required to support future growth.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our product development efforts, that the market
will continue to accept our existing products, or that new products or product enhancements will be
developed and implemented in a timely manner, meet the requirements of healthcare providers, or achieve
market acceptance. If new products or product enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. At certain
times in the past, we have also experienced delays in purchases of our products by clients anticipating our
launch of new products. There can be no assurance that material order deferrals in anticipation of new
product introductions from ourselves or other entities will not occur.
If the emerging technologies and platforms of Microsoft and others upon which we build our products
do not gain broad market acceptance, or if we fail to develop and introduce in a timely manner new
products and services compatible with such emerging technologies, we may not be able to compete
effectively and our ability to generate revenue will suffer. Our software products are built and depend
upon several underlying and evolving relational database management system platforms such as those
developed by Microsoft. To date, the standards and technologies upon which we have chosen to develop
our products have proven to have gained industry acceptance. However, the market for our software
products is subject to ongoing rapid technological developments, quickly evolving industry standards and
rapid changes in customer requirements, and there may be existing or future technologies and platforms
that achieve industry standard status, which are not compatible with our products.
We face the possibility of subscription pricing. We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from
traditional software license, maintenance and service fees, as well as the resale of computer hardware.
Today, customers pay an initial license fee for the use of our products, in addition to a periodic
maintenance fee. If the marketplace demands subscription pricing, we may be forced to adjust our sales,
marketing and pricing strategies accordingly, by offering a higher percentage of our products and services
through these means. Shifting to a significantly greater degree of subscription pricing could materially
adversely impact our financial condition, cash flows and quarterly and annual revenue and results of
operations, as our revenue would initially decrease substantially. There can be no assurance that the
marketplace will not increasingly embrace subscription pricing.
The industry in which we operate is subject to significant technological change. The software market
generally is characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
introductions, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products incorporating new
technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products obsolete
and unmarketable. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and marketing new
products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards. New product development
depends upon significant research and development expenditures which depend ultimately upon sales
growth. Any material weakness in revenue or research funding could impair our ability to respond to
technological advances or opportunities in the marketplace and to remain competitive. If we are unable,
for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner in response
to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, results of operations and financial
condition may be materially adversely affected.
In response to increasing market demand, we are currently developing new generations of certain of our
software products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop these new software
products or that these products will operate successfully, or that any such development, even if successful,
14
will be completed concurrently with or prior to introduction of competing products. Any such failure or
delay could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.
We face the possibility of claims based upon our web site. We could be subject to third party claims
based on the nature and content of information supplied on our Web site by us or third parties, including
content providers or users. We could also be subject to liability for content that may be accessible
through our Web site or third party Web sites linked from our Web site or through content and
information that may be posted by users in chat rooms, bulletin boards or on Web sites created by
professionals using our applications. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, investigating and
defending against these claims could be expensive and time consuming and could divert management’s
attention away from our operations.
We face the possibility of claims from activities of strategic partners. We rely on third parties to provide
services that impact our business. For example, we use national clearinghouses in the processing of some
insurance claims and we outsource some of our hardware maintenance services and the printing and
delivery of patient statements for our customers. We also have relationships with certain third parties
where these third parties serve as sales channels through which we generate a portion of our revenue. Due
to these third-party relationships, we could be subject to claims as a result of the activities, products, or
services of these third-party service providers even though we were not directly involved in the
circumstances leading to those claims. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, defending and
investigating these claims could be expensive and time-consuming, divert personnel and other resources
from our business and result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.
We may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive and time consuming and from which
we may not realize anticipated benefits. We may acquire additional businesses, technologies and
products if we determine that these additional businesses, technologies and products are likely to serve
our strategic goals. We currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions.
The specific risks we may encounter in these types of transactions include but are not limited to the
following:
(cid:131) potentially dilutive issuances of our securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and
amortization expenses related to intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial conditions;
(cid:131) use of cash as acquisition currency may adversely impact interest or investment income , thereby
potentially negatively affecting our earnings and /or earnings per share
(cid:131) difficulty in effectively integrating any acquired technologies or software products into our current
products and technologies;
(cid:131) difficulty in predicting and responding to issues related to product transition such as development,
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
distribution and customer support;
the possible adverse impact of such acquisitions on existing relationships with third party partners and
suppliers of technologies and services;
the possibility that staff or customers of the acquired company might not accept new ownership and
may transition to different technologies or attempt to renegotiate contract terms or relationships,
including maintenance or support agreements;
the possibility that the due diligence process in any such acquisition may not completely identify
material issues associated with product quality, product architecture, product development,
intellectual property issues, key personnel issues or legal and financial contingencies; and
(cid:131) difficulty in integrating acquired operations due to geographical distance, and language and cultural
differences;
(cid:131) The possibility that acquired assets become impaired, requiring the Company to take a charge to
earnings which could be significant.
15
A failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or technology for any of these reasons could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
We face the risks and uncertainties that are associated with litigation against us. We face the risks
associated with litigation concerning the operation of our business. The uncertainty associated with
substantial unresolved litigation may have an adverse impact on our business. In particular, such litigation
could impair our relationships with existing customers and our ability to obtain new customers.
Defending such litigation may result in a diversion of management's time and attention away from
business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. Such litigation may also have the effect of discouraging potential acquirers from
bidding for us or reducing the consideration such acquirers would otherwise be willing to pay in
connection with an acquisition.
There can be no assurance that such litigation will not result in liability in excess of our insurance
coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be
available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates.
We rely heavily on our proprietary technology. We are heavily dependent on the maintenance and
protection of our intellectual property and we rely largely on license agreements, confidentiality
procedures, and employee nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. Our software is
not patented and existing copyright laws offer only limited practical protection.
There can be no assurance that the legal protections and precautions we take will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of our technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies
equivalent or superior to ours. Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary
rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States and are often not enforced as vigorously as
those in the United States.
We do not believe that our operations or products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
However, there can be no assurance that others will not assert infringement or trade secret claims against
us with respect to our current or future products or that any such assertion will not require us to enter into
a license agreement or royalty arrangement or other financial arrangement with the party asserting the
claim. Responding to and defending any such claims may distract the attention of Company management
and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In
addition, claims may be brought against third parties from which we purchase software, and such claims
could adversely affect our ability to access third party software for our systems.
We are dependent on our license rights from third parties. We depend upon licenses for some of the
technology used in our products from third-party vendors. Most of these licenses can be renewed only
by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach
within a specified period of time. We may not be able to continue using the technology made available to
us under these licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we may have to
discontinue, delay or reduce product shipments until we can obtain equivalent technology. Most of our
third-party licenses are non-exclusive. Our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology
covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us. In addition, if our vendors
choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future or are unsuccessful in their
continued research and development efforts, we may not be able to modify or adapt our own products.
We face the possibility of damages resulting from internal and external security breaches, and viruses.
In the course of our business operations, we compile and transmit confidential information, including
16
patient health information, in our processing centers and other facilities. A breach of security in any of
these facilities could damage our reputation and result in damages being assessed against us. In addition,
the other systems with which we may interface, such as the Internet and related systems may be
vulnerable to security breaches, viruses, programming errors, or similar disruptive problems. The effect
of these security breaches and related issues could disrupt our ability to perform certain key business
functions and could potentially reduce demand for our services. Accordingly, we have expended
significant resources toward establishing and enhancing the security of our related infrastructures,
although no assurance can be given that they will be entirely free from potential breach. Maintaining and
enhancing our infrastructure security may require us to expend significant capital in the future.
The success of our strategy to offer our EDI services and Internet solutions depends on the confidence of
our customers in our ability to securely transmit confidential information. Our EDI services and Internet
solutions rely on encryption, authentication and other security technology licensed from third parties to
achieve secure transmission of confidential information. We may not be able to stop unauthorized
attempts to gain access to or disrupt the transmission of communications by our customers. Anyone who
is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate confidential user information or
interrupt us, or our customers', operations. In addition, our EDI and Internet solutions may be vulnerable
to viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions.
Any failure to provide secure infrastructure and/or electronic communication services could result in a
lack of trust by our customers causing them to seek out other vendors, and/or, damage our reputation in
the market making it difficult to obtain new customers.
We are subject to the development and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure which is not within
our control. We deliver Internet-based services and, accordingly, we are dependent on the maintenance
of the Internet by third parties. The Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed
on it and our performance may decrease if the Internet continues to experience it’s historic trend of
expanding usage. As a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure, the Internet has experienced a
variety of performance problems which may continue into the foreseeable future. Such Internet related
problems may diminish Internet usage and availability of the Internet to us for transmittal of our Internet-
based services. In addition, difficulties, outages, and delays by Internet service providers, online service
providers and other web site operators may obstruct or diminish access to our Web site by our customers
resulting in a loss of potential or existing users of our services.
Our failure to manage growth could harm us. We have in the past experienced periods of growth
which have placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our non-cash resources. We also
anticipate expanding our overall software development, marketing, sales, client management and training
capacity. In the event we are unable to identify, hire, train and retain qualified individuals in such
capacities within a reasonable timeframe, such failure could have a material adverse effect on us. In
addition, our ability to manage future increases, if any, in the scope of our operations or personnel will
depend on significant expansion of our research and development, marketing and sales, management, and
administrative and financial capabilities. The failure of our management to effectively manage expansion
in our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Our operations are dependent upon our key personnel. If such personnel were to leave unexpectedly,
we may not be able to execute our business plan. Our future performance depends in significant part
upon the continued service of our key technical and senior management personnel, many of whom have
been with us for a significant period of time. These personnel have acquired specialized knowledge and
skills with respect to our business. We maintain key man life insurance on only one of our employees.
Because we have a relatively small number of employees when compared to other leading companies in
17
our industry, our dependence on maintaining our relationships with key employees is particularly
significant. We are also dependent on our ability to attract high quality personnel, particularly in the areas
of sales and applications development.
The industry in which we operate is characterized by a high level of employee mobility and aggressive
recruiting of skilled personnel. There can be no assurance that our current employees will continue to
work for us. Loss of services of key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may need to grant additional equity
incentives to key employees and provide other forms of incentive compensation to attract and retain such
key personnel. Failure to provide such types of incentive compensation could jeopardize our recruitment
and retention capabilities.
Our products may be subject to product liability legal claims. Certain of our products provide
applications that relate to patient clinical information. Any failure by our products to provide accurate and
timely information could result in claims against us. In addition, a court or government agency may take
the position that our delivery of health information directly, including through licensed practitioners, or
delivery of information by a third party site that a consumer accesses through our web sites, exposes us to
assertions of malpractice, other personal injury liability, or other liability for wrongful delivery/handling
of healthcare services or erroneous health information. We maintain insurance to protect against claims
associated with the use of our products as well as liability limitation language in our end-user license
agreements, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage or contractual language would
adequately cover any claim asserted against us. A successful claim brought against us in excess of or
outside of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. Even unsuccessful claims could result in our expenditure of funds for
litigation and management time and resources.
Certain healthcare professionals who use our Internet-based products will directly enter health
information about their patients including information that constitutes a record under applicable law that
we may store on our computer systems. Numerous federal and state laws and regulations, the common
law, and contractual obligations, govern collection, dissemination, use and confidentiality of patient-
identifiable health information, including:
state and federal privacy and confidentiality laws;
(cid:131)
(cid:131) our contracts with customers and partners;
(cid:131)
(cid:131) Medicaid laws;
(cid:131)
state laws regulating healthcare professionals;
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and related rules proposed
by the Health Care Financing Administration; and
(cid:131) Health Care Financing Administration standards for Internet transmission of health data.
The U.S. Congress has finalized the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 that
established elements including, but not limited to, new federal privacy and security standards for the use
and protection of Protected Health Information. Any failure by us or by our personnel or partners to
comply with applicable requirements may result in a material liability to us.
Although we have systems and policies in place for safeguarding Protected Health Information from
unauthorized disclosure, these systems and policies may not preclude claims against us for alleged
violations of applicable requirements. Also, third party sites and/or links that consumers may access
through our web sites may not maintain adequate systems to safeguard this information, or may
circumvent systems and policies we have put in place. In addition, future laws or changes in current laws
may necessitate costly adaptations to our policies, procedures, or systems.
18
There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to product liability claims, that such claims will not
result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that
appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates.
Such product liability claims could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
We are subject to the effect of payor and provider conduct which we cannot control. We offer certain
electronic claims submission products and services as part of our product line. While we have
implemented certain product features designed to maximize the accuracy and completeness of claims
submissions, these features may not be sufficient to prevent inaccurate claims data from being submitted
to payors. Should inaccurate claims data be submitted to payors, we may be subject to liability claims.
Electronic data transmission services are offered by certain payors to healthcare providers that establish a
direct link between the provider and payor. This process reduces revenue to third party EDI service
providers such as us. Accordingly, we are unable to insure that we will continue to generate revenue at or
in excess of prior levels for such services. A significant increase in the utilization of direct links between
healthcare providers and payers could have a material adverse effect on our transaction volume and
financial results. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain our exiting
links to payors or develop new connections on terms that are economically satisfactory to us, if at all.
There is significant uncertainty in the healthcare industry in which we operate and we are subject to
the possibility of changing government regulation. The healthcare industry is subject to changing
political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement processes and operation of
healthcare facilities. During the past several years, the healthcare industry has been subject to an increase
in governmental regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates and certain capital expenditures.
In the past, various legislators have announced that they intend to examine proposals to reform certain
aspects of the U.S. healthcare system including proposals which may change governmental involvement
in healthcare and reimbursement rates, and otherwise alter the operating environment for us and our
clients. Healthcare providers may react to these proposals, and the uncertainty surrounding such
proposals, by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our systems and related services.
Cost-containment measures instituted by healthcare providers as a result of regulatory reform or
otherwise could result in a reduction in the allocation of capital funds. Such a reduction could have an
adverse effect on our ability to sell our systems and related services. On the other hand, changes in the
regulatory environment have increased and may continue to increase the needs of healthcare
organizations for cost-effective data management and thereby enhance the overall market for healthcare
management information systems. We cannot predict what impact, if any, such proposals or healthcare
reforms might have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The HIPAA regulations, as adopted by the Department of Health and Human Services, established,
among other things:
(cid:131)
a national standard for electronic transactions and code sets to be used in those transactions involving
certain common health care transactions;
(cid:131) privacy regulations to protect the privacy of plan participants and patients’ medical records; and
(cid:131)
security regulations designed to establish security controls and measures to protect the privacy and
confidentiality of personal identifiable health information when it is electronically stored, maintained
or transmitted (even if only internally transmitted within a medical practice).
As these regulations mature and become better defined, we anticipate that these regulations will continue
to directly affect certain of our products and services, but we cannot fully predict the impact at this time.
19
We have taken steps to modify our products, services and internal practices as necessary to facilitate our
and our client’s compliance with the final regulations, but there can be no assurance that we will be able
to do so in a timely or complete manner. Achieving compliance with these regulations could be costly and
distract management's attention and other resources, and any noncompliance by us could result in civil
and criminal penalties.
In addition, development of related federal and state regulations and policies regarding the confidentiality
of health information or other matters may or may not supercede HIPAA and have the potential to
positively or negatively affect our business.
In addition, our software may potentially be subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (the FDA) as a medical device. Such regulation could require the registration of the
applicable manufacturing facility and software and hardware products, application of detailed record-
keeping and manufacturing standards, and FDA approval or clearance prior to marketing. An approval or
clearance requirement could create delays in marketing, and the FDA could require supplemental filings
or object to certain of these applications, the result of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to other e-commerce regulations. We may be subject to additional federal and state
statutes and regulations in connection with offering services and products via the Internet. On an
increasingly frequent basis, federal and state legislators are proposing laws and regulations that apply to
Internet commerce and communications. Areas being affected by these regulations include user privacy,
pricing, content, taxation, copyright protection, distribution, and quality of products and services. To the
extent that our products and services are subject to these laws and regulations, the sale of our products
and services could be harmed.
We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the
measurement of our performance. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant guidance,
principles or concepts issued by, among other authorities, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, Management believes our current sales and licensing contract terms and business
arrangements have been properly reported. However, there continue to be issued interpretations and
guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range of sales and licensing contract terms and
business arrangements that are prevalent in the software industry. Future interpretations or changes by the
regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices could result in future
changes in our revenue recognition and/or other accounting policies and practices that could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.
Our per share price may be adversely effected if weaknesses in our internal controls are identified by
ourselves or our independent auditors. Any weaknesses identified in our internal controls as part of the
evaluation being undertaken by us and our independent public accountants pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have an adverse effect on the price at which our stock trades. In the
process of evaluating and documenting our controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
we have identified various deficiencies which we are in the course of remediating. Management does not
believe that any of these identified deficiencies constitute a material weakness in our internal controls.
No evaluation process can provide complete assurance that our internal controls will detect and correct all
failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The
effectiveness of our controls and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgments.
In addition, if we continue to expand, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate controls will
increase and may require that we evolve some or all of our internal control processes.
20
It is also possible that the overall scope of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 may be revised
in the future, thereby causing our auditors and ourselves to review, revise or reevaluate our internal
control processes which may result in the expenditure of additional human and financial resources.
Our earnings will be affected beginning fiscal year 2007 when we begin recognizing employee stock
option expense, pursuant to recently issued accounting standards. Stock options have from time to time
been an important component of the compensation packages for many of our mid- and senior-level
employees. We currently do not deduct the expense of employee stock option grants from our income.
However, beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and beyond, we will begin recognizing
employee stock option expense for remaining unvested stock options and any future stock option grants,
resulting in additional pre-tax compensation expense. Option expensing could have a negative impact
upon the price of our stock.
Continuing worldwide political and economic uncertainties may adversely impact our revenue and
profitability. In the last three years, worldwide economic conditions have experienced a downturn due
to numerous factors including but not limited to concerns about inflation and deflation, decreased
consumer confidence, the lingering effects of international conflicts, and terrorist and military activities.
These conditions make it extremely difficult for our customers, our vendors and ourselves to accurately
forecast and plan future business activities, and they could cause constrained spending on our products
and services, and/or delay and lengthen sales cycles.
Our future policy concerning the payment of dividends is uncertain. While we paid a one-time cash
dividend in March 2005, we have not historically paid dividends, cash or otherwise, and there can be no
assurance that we will pay another dividend in the future. Unfulfilled expectation to the contrary could
have a material negative impact upon the price of our stock.
ITEM 2.
PROPERTIES
Our principal administrative, accounting and QSI Division operations are located in Irvine, California,
under a lease that commenced May 15, 2002, and expired in April 30, 2005. In April 2005, we renewed
our lease through May 31, 2008. We lease approximately 12,000 square feet of space at this location. In
August 2002, we executed a new lease for the principal office of our NextGen Division. This lease
includes approximately 32,000 square feet of space in Horsham, Pennsylvania, and expires on January 31,
2010. In the year ended March 31, 2005, we added approximately 14,000 of additional space in
Horsham, Pennsylvania under new lease which expires on January 31, 2010. In addition, we lease
approximately 6,000 square feet of space in Santa Ana, California, to house our assembly and warehouse
operations. We have approximately 12,000 square feet of space in Atlanta, Georgia under a lease which
expires in February, 2006. We also have an aggregate of approximately 4,000 square feet of space in
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Washington to house additional
sales, training, development and service operations. These leases, excluding options, have expiration
dates ranging from month-to-month to March 2010. The Company’s growth will require it to lease
additional space. We believe that suitable additional or substitute space is available, if needed, at
commercially reasonable rates.
ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the
ultimate resolution of these matters, has yet to be determined, we do not believe that their outcome will
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, including discussions of our product development plans, business strategies and market
factors influencing our results, may include forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those anticipated by us as a result of various factors, both
foreseen and unforeseen, including, but not limited to, our ability to continue to develop new products and
increase systems sales in markets characterized by rapid technological evolution, consolidation, and
competition from larger, better capitalized competitors. Many other economic, competitive, governmental
and technological factors could impact our ability to achieve our goals, and interested persons are urged
to review the risks described in “Item 1. Business. Risk Factors” as set forth above, as well as in our other
public disclosures and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in our entirety by, the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. Historical
results of operations, percentage margin fluctuations and any trends that may be inferred from the
discussion below are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate
estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, uncollectible accounts receivable, and intangible
assets, for reasonableness. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions.
We believe revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill impairment, capitalized
software costs and research and development tax credits are among the most critical accounting policies
that impact our consolidated financial statements. We believe that significant accounting policies, as
described in Note 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies”, should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Revenue Recognition. Our revenue is primarily generated from the sale of software licenses, services,
hardware, maintenance fees, and EDI services. We currently recognize revenue pursuant to Statement of
Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), as modified by Statement of Position
No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect of Certain
Transactions” (SOP 98-9), Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements” (SAB 101) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB 104). SAB
101 summarizes the staff’s views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. SAB 104 modifies certain guidance provided in SAB 101.
Inherent in the revenue recognition process are significant management estimates and judgments, which
influence the timing and amount of revenue recognition.
25
In accordance with the governing revenue recognition guidelines, if the arrangement between vendor and
purchaser does not require significant production, modification, or customization of software, revenue
should be recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
•
•
•
•
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
delivery has occurred;
the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable; and
collectibility is probable.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, the
recognition of software license revenue is based on our assessment that the above criteria have been met.
In general, the first two criteria are met with a signed contract and evidence that we have shipped our
software to the customer. We determine that our fee is fixed and determinable based on the contract
terms, which specify payment terms tied to specific dates and not to any future deliverables. Probability
of collection is based on a credit review of customers. The timing or amount of revenue recognition may
differ if different assessments of the above listed criteria had been made at the time transactions were
recorded in revenue.
SOP 97-2, as amended, generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple
elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. Our
determination of the fair value of each element in multi-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific
objective evidence (VSOE). We limit our assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price
charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the
relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. Management determines the price of
individual elements sold separately using a rolling average of stand alone transactions. VSOE
calculations are reviewed on a quarterly basis.
If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence of fair value does not exist for
one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual
method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred at VSOE and the remaining portion of the
arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, net of all discounts.
Contract accounting is applied where services include significant software modification, development or
customization. In such instances, the arrangement fee is accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Position No. 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts” (SOP 81-1), whereby the revenue is recognized, generally using the percentage-of-completion
method measured on labor input hours. The complexity of the estimation process and judgment related to
the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue reported in its consolidated financial statements.
Valuation Allowances. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We perform ongoing credit evaluations
of our customers and maintain reserves for estimated credit losses. Reserves for potential credit losses are
determined by establishing both specific and general reserves. Specific reserves are based on
management’s estimate of the probability of collection for certain troubled accounts. General reserves are
established based on our historical experience of bad debt expense and the aging of our accounts
receivable balances net of deferred revenue and specifically reserved accounts. If the financial condition
of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances would be required.
Goodwill Impairment. Our long-lived assets include goodwill of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). The statement applies to the amortization of goodwill and other
26
intangible assets. We no longer amortize amounts related to goodwill. The balance of goodwill is related
to our NextGen Division. Under SFAS 142, we are required to perform an annual assessment of the
implied fair value of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment. We have
compared the fair value of the NextGen Division with the carrying amount of assets associated with the
Division and determined that none of the goodwill recorded as of June 30, 2004 (the date of our last
annual impairment test) was impaired. The fair value of the NextGen Division was determined using a
reasonable estimate of future cash flows of the Division and a risk adjusted discount rate to compute a net
present value of future cash flows. There have been no changes that would lead us to believe there is any
impairment of the goodwill since the date of the last annual impairment test through March 31, 2005.
The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of our
business segments. Inherent in such fair value determinations are certain judgments and estimates,
including the interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, and assumptions about
our strategic plans with regard to operations. To the extent additional information arises or our strategies
change, it is possible that our conclusion regarding goodwill impairment could change and result in a
material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Software Development Costs. Development costs incurred in the research and development of new
software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until
technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional
development costs are capitalized in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”
(SFAS 86). Such capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated economic life
of the related product, of three years. We perform an annual review of the recoverability of such
capitalized software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not
recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any
remaining capitalized amounts are written off.
Research and Development Tax Credits. During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Company filed
amended federal and state tax returns for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 through 2001, to take
advantage of tax credits related to our research and development activities. In addition, the Company
claimed research and development credit on its tax returns for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002. The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 accounted for a
portion of the aggregate tax credits accumulated through the end of each period due to the uncertainly
concerning the ultimate amount of tax to be credited. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a balance
of $0.5 million in credits which had not been recognized. In the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the state
of California completed an audit of the Company’s tax returns and did not materially change credits
related to research and development. Based on the results of that audit as well the expiration of the statue
of limitations on certain amended returns, the provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31,
2005 was reduced by the $0.5 million in tax credits which had not been recognized as of March 31 2004.
Management’s treatment of research and development tax credits represented a significant estimate which
affected the effective income tax rates for the Company in the years ending March 31, 2005 and 2004.
Research and development credits taken by the Company involve certain assumptions and judgments
regarding qualification of expenses under the relevant tax codes. While the Company has received all of
federal refunds claimed, none of the credits have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
27
Overview of Company results
(cid:131) We have experienced significant growth in our total revenue as a result of revenue growth in our
NextGen Healthcare Information Services Division. Our total Company revenue grew 25.4% on a
consolidated basis during the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 versus 2004 and 29.5% in the
twelve months ended March 31, 2004 versus 2003.
(cid:131) Consolidated income from operations grew 47.9% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 versus
2004 and 56.1% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 versus 2003. This performance was
driven in large part by the results in our NextGen Division.
(cid:131) We have benefited and hope to continue to benefit from the increased demands on healthcare
providers for greater efficiency and lower costs, as well as increased adoption rates of technology in
the healthcare arena.
NextGen Division
• Our NextGen Division has experienced significant growth in revenue and operating income.
Divisional revenue grew 35.2% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 versus 2004 and 45.8%
in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 versus 2003 while divisional operating income
(excluding unallocated corporate expenses) grew 64.1% in the twelve months end March 31, 2005
and 77.4% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004.
• During the twelve months ended March 31, 2005, we added staffing resources to departments
including sales, marketing, support, implementation, software development, and administration and
intend to continue to do so in fiscal year 2006.
• Our goals include continuing to further enhance our existing products, developing new products for
targeted markets, continuing to add new customers, selling additional software and services to
existing customers and expanding penetration of connectivity services to new and existing customers.
QSI Division
• Our QSI Division experienced a revenue decline of 6.8% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2005
versus 2004 and 5.3% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 versus 2003. The Division
experienced a 14.7% decrease in operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) in the
twelve months ended March 31, 2005 versus 2004.
• Our goals for the QSI Division include maximizing revenue and profit performance given the
constraints present in this Division’s target market.

Comparison of the Years Ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004
For the year ended March 31, 2005, our net income was $16.1 million or $1.25 per share on a basic and
$1.22 per share on a fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $10.4 million or $0.84 per share on a
basic and $0.80 on a fully diluted basis in the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net income for
the year ended March 31, 2005, was achieved primarily through the following:
•
•
a 25.4% increase in revenue;
an increase in our gross profit margin from 59.6% to 63.3%.
Revenue. Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased 25.4% to $89.0 million from $70.9
million for the year ended March 31, 2004. NextGen Division revenue increased 35.2% from $54.4
million to approximately $73.6 million in the period, while QSI Division revenue declined by 6.8%
during the period from approximately $16.5 million to $15.4 million.
We divide revenue into two categories, “System sales” and “Maintenance, EDI, and other services”.
Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third party hardware and software,
and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company’s software systems.
Revenue in the maintenance and other services category includes maintenance, EDI, and other revenue.
Maintenance and EDI revenue are the principle sources of revenue in this category.
System Sales. Company-wide sales of systems for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 increased
22.8% to $48.5 million from $39.5 million in the prior year.
Our increase in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of a 24.8% increase in category
revenue at our NextGen Division whose sales in this category grew from $37.3 million during the year
ended March 31, 2004 to $46.6 million during the year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was driven
primarily by higher sales of NextGenemr and NextGenepm software to both new and existing clients, as well
as an increase in the delivery of related implementation services offset by a decline in the sale of related
hardware, third party software and supplies.
Systems sales revenue in the QSI Division declined 11.1% to approximately $1.9 million in the year
ended March 31, 2005 from $2.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2004.

NextGen Division software revenue increased 34.8% between the twelve months ended March 31, 2004
and the twelve months ended March 31, 2005. The Division’s software revenue accounted for 71.3% of
divisional system sales revenue during the twelve months ended March 31, 2005, an increase from 66.0%
in the prior year period. The increase in software’s share of systems sales was not the result of any new
trend or change in emphasis on our part relative to software sales. Software license revenue growth
continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division and management was pleased with
the Division’s performance in this area.
During the twelve months ended March 31, 2005, 10.3% of NextGen’s system sales revenue was
represented by hardware and third party software compared to 16.4% in the same prior year period. We
have noted that the last several quarter’s results have included a relatively lower amount of hardware and
third party software compared to prior year periods. However, this decrease was not the result of any
change in emphasis on our part. The number of customers who purchase hardware and third party
software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software revenue fluctuates each year
depending on the needs of customers. The inclusion of hardware and third party software in the
division’s sales arrangements is typically at the request of the customer and is not a priority focus for us.
Implementation and training revenue at the NextGen Division increased 30.5% in the twelve months
ended March 31, 2005 compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. Implementation and
training revenue at the NextGen Division increased its share of divisional system sales revenue to 18.3%
in the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 from 17.5% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004.
The growth in implementation and training revenue is the result of increases in the amount of
implementation and training services rendered to our customers. The amount of implementation and
training services revenue and the corresponding rate of growth compared to a prior period in any given
year is dependant on several factors including timing of customer implementations, the availability of
qualified staff, and the mix of services being rendered. The number of implementation and training staff
increased during the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 versus March 31, 2004 in order to
accommodate the increased amount of implementation services sold in conjunction with increased
software sales. In order to achieve continued increased revenue in this area, additional staffing increases
are anticipated, though actual future increases in revenue and staff will depend upon the availability of
qualified staff, business mix and conditions, and our ability to retain current staff members.
30
The NextGen Division’s growth has come in part from investments in sales and marketing activities,
including hiring additional sales representatives, trade show attendance, and advertising expenditures.
We have also benefited from winning numerous industry awards for the NextGen Division’s flagship
NextGenemr and NextGenepm software products in fiscal years 2005 and 2004, as well as in prior years, and
the apparent increasing acceptance of electronic medical records technology in the healthcare industry.
For the QSI Division, total system sales decreased 11.1% in the twelve months ended March 31, 2005
compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. We do not presently foresee any material changes
in the business environment for the Division with respect to the constrained environment that has been in
place for the past several years. QSI systems sales during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were
impacted by year over year declines in hardware and implementation and training services.
Maintenance, EDI and Other. Company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, and other services grew
28.7% to $40.4 million from $31.4 million. The increase in this category resulted principally from an
increase in maintenance and EDI revenue generated from the NextGen Division’s client base. Total
NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005 grew 55.7% to $17.9 million
from $11.5 million in the year ago period, while EDI revenue grew 86.0% to $5.6 million compared to
$3.0 million in the year ago period. QSI Division maintenance revenue declined 3.8% from $7.6 million
to $7.3 million in the same period while divisional EDI revenue declined by approximately 7.6% from
$5.3 million to $4.9 million.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased 13.9% to $32.7 million
from $28.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2004, while the cost of revenue as a percentage of net
revenue declined to 36.7% from 40.4% during the same period. Our consolidated gross profit is impacted
by the level of hardware content included in system sales, the percentage of EDI revenue in our overall
sales mix, and certain headcount expenses directly related to the cost of delivering our products and
services. Consolidated gross profit is also impacted by the higher margin revenues of the NextGen
Division which increased its share of total company revenue to 82.7% from 76.8% in the prior year.

Gross profit margins at the NextGen Division for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased to 66.0% from
62.5% primarily due to a decrease in the proportionate level of hardware and third party software content
included in revenue as well as a slight decrease in the relative level of applicable headcount expense
associated with delivering our products and services. The QSI Division’s gross profit margin improved
slightly to 50.1% in the year ended March 31, 2005 from 49.8% in the same period last year due to
proportionately lower hardware and third party software content included in revenue.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2005, hardware and third party software constituted a smaller
portion of consolidated revenue compared to the same prior year period, driven principally by the
composition of NextGen Division revenue. This year over year reduction was not the result of any
identifiable trend or change in emphasis on our part. The number of customers who purchase hardware
and third party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software purchased fluctuates
each quarter depending on the needs of the customers and is not a priority focus for us.
Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services decreased to 13.5%
of consolidated revenue compared to 14.8% during the prior twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The
absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew primarily due to additions to related
headcount, payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the NextGen
Division. Payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the QSI
Division declined slightly on an absolute basis, but increased slightly on a percentage of revenue basis.
We anticipate continued additions to headcount in the NextGen Division in areas related to delivering
products and services in future periods, but due to the uncertainties in the timing of our sales
arrangements, our sales mix, the acquisition and training of qualified personnel, and other issues, we
cannot accurately predict if related headcount expense as a percentage of revenue will increase or
decrease in the future.
We do not currently intend to make any significant additions to related headcount at the QSI Division.
Should the NextGen Division continue to represent an increasing share of our revenue and should the
NextGen Division continue to carry higher gross margins than the QSI Division, our consolidated gross
margin percentages should increase to more closely match those of the NextGen Division.
As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit for the Company and our two operating
divisions increased for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2005 versus the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year
ended March 31, 2005 increased 27.2% to $24.8 million as compared to $19.5 million for the year ended
33
March 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $2.0 million in selling and
administrative salaries and related benefits expenses in the NextGen Division, $0.9 million for corporate
related professional services principally in the area of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, $0.6 million in
commission expense principally in the NextGen division, $0.4 million in corporate related salaries and
related benefit expenses, $0.4 million in NextGen travel expenses and $1.0 million in other general and
administrative expenses primarily in the NextGen Division. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenue slightly increased to 27.9% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 from
27.4% in the fiscal period ended March 31, 2004 due to selling, general and administrative expenses
growing at a slightly faster rate than revenue.
We anticipate increased expenditures for trade shows, advertising and the employment of additional sales
representatives primarily at the NextGen Division. We are hopeful that we will be able to achieve at least
a moderate reduction in expenses related to Sarbanes Oxley Act compliance. While we expect selling,
general and administrative expenses to increase on an absolute basis, we cannot accurately predict the
impact these additional expenditures will have on selling, general, and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the year ended March 31, 2005
and 2004 were $6.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The increase in research and development
costs was primarily due to increased investment in the NextGen product line. Research and development
costs as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 7.8% from 8.7% primarily due to revenue growing at a
faster rate than the increase in research and development spending. Research and development costs are
expected to continue at or above current levels.
Investment Income. Investment income for the year ended March 31, 2005 increased 127% to
approximately $0.9 million compared with $0.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase
was primarily due to the effect of an increase in short term interest rates versus the prior year period as
well as comparatively higher amounts available for investment during the fiscal period ended March 31,
2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company paid a one time dividend of
approximately $19.6 million, which reduced the amount of funds available for investment during this
period.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2005 was
approximately $9.4 million as compared to approximately $6.6 million for the year ago period. The
effective tax rates for fiscal 2005 and 2004 were 36.8% and 38.9%, respectively. The provision for
income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 differ from the combined statutory rates
primarily due to the impact of varying state income tax rates and the impact of research and development
tax credits. During fiscal 2005, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million of research and
development credits which had not been recognized previously due to the uncertainly concerning the
ultimate amount of tax to be credited. In the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the State of California
completed an audit of the Company’s tax returns and did not materially change credits related to research
and development. Based on the results of that audit as well the expiration of the statue of limitations on
certain amended returns, the provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2005 was reduced
by the $0.5 million in tax credits which had not been recognized as of March 31 2004.
34
Comparison of the Years Ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003
For the year ended March 31, 2004, our net income was $10.4 million or $0.84 per share on a basic and
$0.80 per share on a fully diluted basis. In comparison, the Company earned $7.0 million or $0.57 per
share on a basic and $0.55 per shares on a diluted basis in the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase
in net income for the year ended March 31, 2004, was achieved through the following:
•
•
a 29.5% increase in revenue;
an increase in our gross profit margin from 56.6% to 59.6%; and
• Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses which grew at 27.4%
and 21.3% respectively; slower than the overall revenue growth rate.
Revenue. Net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2004 increased 29.5% to $70.9 million from $54.8
million for the year ended March 31, 2003. Sales of computer systems, upgrades and supplies increased
35.5% to $39.5 million from $29.2 million while net revenue from maintenance, EDI, and other service
grew 22.7% to $31.4 from $25.6 million during the comparable prior period. The increase in net revenue
from sales of computer systems, upgrades and supplies was principally due to increased sales of the
Company’s NextGenepm and NextGenemr software licenses to new customers.
We divide revenue into two categories, “System sales” and “Maintenance, EDI, and other services”.
Revenue in the systems sales category includes software license fees, third party hardware and software,
and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company’s software systems.
Revenue in the maintenance and other services category includes maintenance, EDI, and other revenue.
Maintenance and EDI revenue are the principle sources of revenue in this category.
System Sales. Company-wide sales of systems for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 increased
35.5% to $39.5 million from $29.2 million in the prior year.
Our increase in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of a 42.5% increase in category
revenue at our NextGen Division whose sales in this category grew from $26.2 million during the year
ended March 31, 2003 to $37.3 million during the year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was driven
primarily by higher sales of NextGenemr and NextGenepm software to both new and existing clients, as well
as delivery of related implementation services and sales of related hardware, third party software, and
supplies.
Systems sales revenue in the QSI Division declined 26.2% to approximately $2.2 million in the year
ended March 31, 2004 from $3.0 million in the year ended March 31, 2003.

Maintenance, EDI, and Other. Company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, and other services grew
22.7% to $31.4 million from $25.6 million. The increase in this category resulted principally from an
increase in maintenance and EDI revenue from the NextGen Division’s client base. Total NextGen
Division maintenance revenue for the year ended March 31, 2004 grew 58.0% to $11.5 million from $7.3
million in the year ago period, while EDI revenue grew 74.0% to $3.0 million compared to $1.7 million

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2004 increased 20.7% to $28.7 million
from $23.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, while the cost of revenue as a percentage of
revenue at 40.4% for 2004 declined compared to the prior year’s 43.4% of revenue.
The following table details revenue and cost of revenue on a consolidated and divisional basis for the
twelve month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

Gross profit is impacted by the level of hardware content included in system sales, the percentage of EDI
revenue in our overall sales mix, and certain headcount expenses. Gross profit at the NextGen Division
for the year ended March 31, 2004 improved to 62.5% from 61.1% primarily due to a decrease in the
relative level of applicable outside service, amortization of software development costs and other
expenses associated with delivering the Company’s products and services. The QSI Division’s gross
profit for the year ended March 31, 2004 improved to 49.8% from 46.9% in the same period during the
prior year primarily due to a proportionately lower hardware and third party software content included in
revenue. In addition, our gross profit percentage increased as the higher margined NextGen Division
increased its share of total Company revenue to 76.8% from 68.2% in the prior year.

Consolidated......
During the twelve months ended March 31, 2004, hardware and third party software constituted a slightly
smaller portion of consolidated revenue compared to the same year ago period driven principally by the
composition of NextGen Division revenue. This year over year reduction was not the result of any
identifiable trend or change in emphasis on our part. The number of customers who purchase hardware
and third party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third party software purchased fluctuates
each quarter depending on the needs of the customers and is not a priority focus for us.
Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services increased to 14.8%
of consolidated revenue compared to 13.0% during the prior twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The
level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew due to additions to related headcount, payroll and
benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the NextGen Division. Payroll and
benefits expense associated with delivering products and services in the QSI Division increased slightly
on both an absolute and a percentage of revenue basis. We anticipate continued additions to headcount in
the NextGen Division in areas related to delivering products and services in future periods but due to the
uncertainties in the timing of our sales arrangements, our sales mix, the acquisition and training of
qualified personnel, and other issues, we cannot accurately predict if related headcount expense as a
percentage of revenue will increase or decrease in the future. We do not currently intend to make any
significant additions to related headcount at the QSI Division.
Our outside services, amortization of software development costs and other expenses included in cost of
revenue declined to 15.6% compared to 18.8% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. This
decline was due to a number of factors including a slight decline in the proportion of EDI revenue
included in consolidated revenue during fiscal 2004, a slight improvement in gross profit related to EDI
revenue, and certain overhead and amortization of capitalized software costs increasing at a slower rate
compared to the rate of revenue growth.
Should the NextGen Division continue to represent an increasing share of our revenue and should the
NextGen Division continue to carry higher gross margins than the QSI Division, our consolidated gross
profit percentages should increase to more closely match those of the NextGen Division.
As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit for the Company and our two operating
divisions increased for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2004 versus the prior year period.
38
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
March 31, 2004 increased 27.4% to $19.5 million from $15.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003,
and declined on a percentage of revenue basis to 27.4% from 27.9% for the respective fiscal years. The
increase in the amount of such expenses resulted primarily from increases of $1.1 million in corporate
expenses, principally in the area of professional service fees, as well as $1.0 million in selling and
administrative payroll and benefits expenses, $0.9 million in commissions expenses, and $0.6 million in
travel and trade show expenses primarily in the NextGen Division. Further increases in selling, general
and administrative expenses are expected.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the year ended March 31, 2004
and 2003 were $6.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The increase in research and development
costs was primarily due to increased investment in the NextGen product line. Research and development
costs as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 8.7% from 9.2% due in part, to the fact that revenue
growth exceeded the increase in research and development spending, and in part due to the fact that our
investments in capitalized software increased to $2.6 million from $1.7 million in the prior year,
reflecting increased expenditures directed at enhancements of the NextGen products. Research and
development costs are expected to continue at or above current levels.
Investment Income. Investment income for the year ended March 31, 2004 decreased 11.1% to
approximately $0.4 million compared with $0.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2003. Investment
income in the year ended March 31, 2004 declined primarily due to the effect of the drop in short term
interest rates versus the prior year. The decline in interest rates was partially offset by an increase in
average funds available for investment during the year ended March 31, 2004.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2004 was
approximately $6.6 million as compared to approximately $4.1 million for the year ago period. The
effective tax rates for fiscal 2004 and 20003 were 38.9% and 36.6%, respectively. The provision for
income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 differ from the combined statutory rates
primarily due to the impact of varying state income tax rates and the impact of research and development
tax credits. The effective rate for the fiscal year 2004 increased from the prior year primarily due to a
relatively smaller impact of research and development tax credits as well as slightly higher effective state
income tax rates. The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 accounted
for a portion of the aggregate tax credits accumulated through the end of each period due to the
uncertainly concerning the ultimate amount of tax to be credited.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The following table presents selected financial statistics and

Cash provided by operations is our principal source of cash. Cash from operations for the year ended
March 31, 2005 consisted principally of net income before non-cash related expenses of depreciation,
39
amortization, and provision for bad debts and inventory obsolescence, and increases in deferred revenue
and other current liabilities, offset by an increase in gross accounts receivable. We were able to generate
operating cash flows significantly in excess of net income in the year ended March 31, 2005 primarily as
a result of increases in deferred revenue of $8.2 million. We were able to generate operating cash flows
significantly in excess of net income in the year ended March 31, 2004 primarily as a result of increases
in deferred revenue of $5.6 million and improved turnover of accounts receivable. Provided turnover of
accounts receivable, increased revenue, and profitability remain consistent with results experienced for
the year ended March 31, 2005, we anticipate continuing to generate cash from operations primarily from
net income.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2005 was $4.4 million and was
primarily composed of investments in capitalized software and equipment and improvements. We have no
significant capital commitments, and currently anticipate that additions to equipment and improvements
for fiscal 2006 will be equal to or greater than historical levels.
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2005 was $17.5 million was primarily
composed of a one-time dividend paid to shareholders of $19.6 million partially offset by proceeds from
the exercise of stock options. Cash received from employee stock option exercises can fluctuate from
year to year.
At March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $51.2 million. We intend to expend some of
these funds for the development of products complementary to our existing product line as well as new
versions of certain of our products. These developments are intended to take advantage of more powerful
technologies and to increase the integration of our products. We have no additional significant current
capital commitments. Management believes that our cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31,
2005, together with the cash flows from operations, if any, will be sufficient to meet our working capital
and capital expenditure requirements for fiscal 2006.
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at March 31, 2005, and the effect
of such obligations is expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods:

ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS
We have a significant amount of cash and short-term investments with maturities less than three months.
This cash portfolio exposes us to interest rate risk as short-term investment rates can be volatile. Given
the short-term maturity structure of our investment portfolio, we believe that it is not subject to principal
fluctuations and the effective interest rate of our portfolio tracks closely to various short-term money
market interest rate benchmarks.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the
filing date of this report, our officers including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures result in the effective recordation, processing,
summarization and reporting of information that is required to be disclosed in the reports that we file
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules there under.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the year ended March 31, 2005, the following changes have occurred in our “internal controls
over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our financial reporting function.
During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company implemented revenue application software
“Softrax” to automate certain processes surrounding the recognition and the deferral of revenue related to
our software sales arrangements with multiple elements. The Company added numerous additional
policies and procedures in order to strengthen the Company’s internal control structure in conjunction
with the Company’s evaluation of internal controls. The Company also added a controller with public
accounting and SEC reporting experience.
There were no other significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
completed their evaluation.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its
internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Company's management concluded that its internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2005.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures,
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has audited management's assessment of
the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 as stated
in their report which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Quality Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quality Systems, Inc. as of March 31,
2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flow for
each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Quality Systems, Inc. as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 and
the consolidated results of operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended March 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
We have also audited Schedule II of Quality Systems, Inc. for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 2005. In our opinion, this schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the effectiveness of Quality Systems, Inc.’s internal control over financial
reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated
June 3, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Quality Systems, Inc.
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Quality Systems, Inc.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Quality Systems, Inc.
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issues by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Quality Systems, Inc.’s management is responsible
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that Quality Systems, Inc. maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, Quality Systems, Inc. maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on
criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Quality Systems, Inc. as of March 31, 2005 and
2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of
50
the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005, and our report dated June 3, 2005 expressed an
unqualified opinion.

QUALITY SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005 and 2004
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Description of Business
Quality Systems, Inc., comprised of the QSI Division (QSI Division) and a wholly owned subsidiary,
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc. (NextGen Division) (collectively, the Company), develops
and markets proprietary healthcare information systems that automate medical and dental group practices,
community health centers, physician hospital organizations, management service organizations, and
dental schools. The Company’s software systems include general patient information, appointment
scheduling, billing, insurance claims submission and processing, managed care plan implementation and
referral management, treatment outcome studies, treatment planning, drug formularies, electronic patient
records, dental charting and letter generation. In addition to providing fully integrated solutions, the
Company offers its clients comprehensive hardware and software maintenance and support services,
system training services and electronic claims submission services. The Company’s principal
administrative, accounting and QSI Division operations are located in Irvine, California. The principal
office of the NextGen Division is located in Horsham, Pennsylvania.
On February 2, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1 stock split with respect to the Company’s
outstanding shares of common stock. The stock split record date was March 4, 2005 and the stock began
trading post split on March 28, 2005. References to share and per share data contained in the
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements has been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the stock split.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America.
References to dollar amounts in this financial statement sections are in thousands, except share and per
share data, unless otherwise specified. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
fiscal year 2005 presentation.
Revenue recognition. The Company currently recognizes revenue pursuant to Statement of Position
No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9
“Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 98-9). The Company generates
revenue from the sale of licensing rights to its software products directly to end-users and value-added
resellers (VARs). The Company also generates revenue from sales of hardware and third party software,
implementation, training, software customization, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), post-contract
support (maintenance) and other services performed for customers who license its products.
A typical system contract contains multiple elements of the above items. SOP 98-9, requires revenue
earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on
the relative fair values of those elements. The fair value of an element must be based on vendor specific
objective evidence (VSOE). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to either the
price charged when the same element is sold separately (using a rolling average of stand alone
transactions) or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an
element not yet sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed at the end of each quarter.
When evidence of fair value exists for the delivered and undelivered elements of a transaction, then
discounts for individual elements are aggregated and the total discount is allocated to the individual
elements in proportion to the elements’ fair value relative to the total contract fair value.
56
When evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements only, the residual method, provided for
under SOP 98-9, is used. Under the residual method, the Company defers revenue related to the
undelivered elements in a system sale based on VSOE of fair value of each of the undelivered elements,
and allocates the remainder of the contract price net of all discounts to revenue recognized from the
delivered elements. Undelivered elements of a system sale may include implementation and training
services, hardware and third party software, maintenance, future purchase discounts, or other services.
If VSOE of fair value of any undelivered element does not exist, all revenue is deferred until VSOE of
fair value of the undelivered element is established or the element has been delivered.
The Company bills for the entire contract amount upon contract execution. Amounts billed in excess of
the amounts contractually due are recorded in accounts receivable as advance billings. Amounts are
contractually due when services are performed or in accordance with contractually specified payment
dates.
Provided the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is considered probable, revenue from
licensing rights and sales of hardware and third party software is generally recognized upon shipment and
transfer of title. In certain transactions where collection risk is high, the cash basis method is used to
recognized revenue. Revenue from implementation and training services is recognized as the
corresponding services are performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual
maintenance period.
Contract accounting is applied where services include significant software modification, development or
customization. In such instances, the arrangement fee is accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Position No. 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts” (SOP 81-1). Pursuant to SOP 81-1, the Company uses the percentage of completion method
provided all of the following conditions exist:
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
(cid:131)
contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to
be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms
of settlement;
the customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract;
the Company can be expected to perform it’s contractual obligations; and
reliable estimates of progress towards completion can be made.
The Company measures completion using labor input hours. Costs of providing services, including
services accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1, are expensed as incurred.
If a situation occurs in which a contract is so short term that the financial statements would not vary
materially from using the percentage-of-completion method or in which the Company is unable to make
reliable estimates of progress of completion of the contract, the completed contract method is utilized.
From time to time, the Company offers future purchase discounts on its products and services as part of
its sales arrangements. Pursuant to AICPA TPA 5100.51, such discounts which are incremental to the
range of discounts reflected in the pricing of the other elements of the arrangement, which are incremental
to the range of discounts typically given in comparable transactions, and which are significant, are treated
as an additional element of the contract to be deferred. Amounts deferred related to future purchase
options are not recognized until either the customer exercises the discount offer or the offer expires.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds and
short term U.S. Treasuries with maturities of less than 90 days. The money market fund in which the
Company holds a portion of its cash invests in only investment grade money market instruments from a
variety of industries, and therefore bears minimal risk. The average maturity of the investments held by
the money market fund is approximately two months.
Short-Term Investments. The Company classifies any short-term investments into one of the
following categories:
57
• Trading – Debt securities that do not meet the “intent-to-hold” criteria and equity securities, both of
which are bought and held principally for the purpose of being sold in the near term.
• Available-for-sale – Debt securities that do not meet the “intent-to-hold” criteria and which are not
classified as trading securities, as well as all equity securities not otherwise classified as trading
securities.
• Held to maturity – Debt securities for which the Company has the intent and the ability to hold to
maturity.
Trading securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair market value and unrealized gains and losses are
recorded in the statement of operations. Available-for-sale securities are carried in the balance sheet at
fair market value; realized gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations when they are
earned or incurred, and unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effect, are recognized as a component of
shareholders' equity. Held to maturity securities are carried in the balance sheet at cost (unless there are
declines in the values of individual securities that are not due to temporary declines), and realized gains
and losses are recorded in the statement of operations in the period that they are earned or incurred.
Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.
The Company had no short term investments at March 31, 2005 or 2004.
Accounts Receivable. The Company provides credit terms ranging from thirty days to less than
twelve months for most system and maintenance contract sales and generally does not require collateral.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of it’s customers and maintains reserves for estimated
credit losses. Reserves for potential credit losses are determined by establishing both specific and general
reserves. Specific reserves are based on management’s estimate of the probability of collection for
certain troubled accounts. General reserves are established based on our historical experience of bad debt
expense and the aging of our accounts receivable balances, net of deferred revenue and specifically
reserved accounts. Accounts are written off as uncollectible only after the Company has expended
extensive collection efforts.
Included in accounts receivable are amounts related to maintenance and services which were billed, but
which had not yet been rendered as of the end of the fiscal year. Undelivered maintenance and services
are included on the balance sheet in deferred revenue.
Inventories. Inventories consist of hardware for specific customer orders and spare parts, and are
valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management provides a reserve to reduce inventory
to its net realizable value.
Equipment and Improvements. Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are
provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, generally by the
straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:
Computers and electronic test equipment
Furniture and fixtures
Vehicles
Leasehold improvements
3-5 years
5-7 years
7 years
lesser of lease term or estimated useful life of asset
Software Development Costs. Development costs incurred in the research and development of new
software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until
technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional
development costs are capitalized in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”
(SFAS 86). Such capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated economic life
of the related product, of three years. The Company performs an annual review of the recoverability of
such capitalized software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not
recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any
remaining capitalized amounts are written off.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). This statement applies to the
58
amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company ceased amortizing amounts related to
goodwill effective April 1, 2001. The balance of goodwill is related to the NextGen Division. Under
SFAS 142, management is required to perform an annual assessment of the implied fair value of goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment. The Company compared the fair value of the
NextGen Division with the carrying amount of its assets and determined that none of the goodwill
recorded was impaired as of June 30, 2004 (the date of the Company’s last annual impairment test). The
fair value of the NextGen Division was determined using an estimate of future cash flows for the
NextGen Division over ten years and risk adjusted discount rates of between 15 and 25 percent to
compute a net present value of future cash flows.
Long Lived Assets. The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 establishes a
single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued
operations. SFAS 144 superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, “Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (SFAS 121), and
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects
of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events
and Transactions” (APB 30). Management periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets to
determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred and has determined that there was no
impairment at March 31, 2005.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial
statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to differences between the basis
of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities
represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or
deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred income taxes also are
recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are
available to offset future income taxes. Valuation allowances are established as a reduction of net deferred
income tax assets when management determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will
not be realized.
Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company does not
have any direct-response advertising. Advertising costs, which includes trade shows and conventions,
were approximately $1,251, $1,262 and $874 for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, and were included primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of income.
The Company has entered into marketing assistance agreements
Marketing Assistance Agreements.
with existing users of the Company’s products which provide the opportunity for those users to earn
commissions if and only if they host specific site visits upon our request for prospective customers which
directly result in a purchase of our software by the visiting prospects. Amounts earned by existing users
under this program are treated as a selling expense in the period in which commissionable software has
been recognized as revenue.
Earnings per Share. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings
Per Share” (SFAS 128), the Company provides dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per
share (EPS).
Basic EPS excludes dilution from common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from common stock equivalents.
59
The following table reconciles the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income
per share for the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation as
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”
(APB No. 25), and has adopted the disclosure provisions from the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148)
that supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation” (SFAS 123). SFAS 148 requires pro forma disclosures of net income and net income per
share as if the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based awards had been applied for both
employee and non-employee grants. It also requires disclosure of option status on a more prominent and
frequent basis. Such disclosure for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 is presented
immediately below. The Company accounts for stock options and warrants issued to non-employees
based on the fair value method, but has not elected this treatment for grants to employees and board
members. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is recorded based on the value of the
award at the grant date and is recognized over the service period.
The Company’s fair value calculations for options granted on February 11, 2005 were made using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life – approximately 57
months from the date of the grant; stock volatility – 47.7% , risk free interest rate of 3.7% and, no
dividends during the expected term. Although the Company announced a one-time $1.50 per share
dividend on January 31, 2005, no commitment to any future dividends was made at the time the dividend
was announced and no commitment to any future dividends exists as of the filing of the Company’s
annual report. The Company had not paid a dividend to its shareholders prior to the one-time dividend
announced on January 31, 2005. Therefore, management believes that using a zero dividend rate in the
valuation of the stock options granted on February 11, 2005 is appropriate.
The Company’s fair value calculations for options granted in fiscal years ended 2005 and 2004 with
the exception of the above grant on February 11, 2005, were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following assumptions: expected life – approximately 48 months from the date of the
grant; stock volatility – 55 to 57% , risk free interest rate of 3.0% ; and, no dividends during the expected
term. No options were granted in fiscal 2003.
60
The Company’s calculations are based on a single option valuation approach and forfeitures are
recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values of awards had been amortized to expense over the
vesting period of the awards, pro forma net income and net income per share would have been as follows:

Had the Company used a different methodology such as the binomial model to value options, a
different valuation may have been determined which may have changed the proforma expense.
Segment Disclosures. The Company presents reporting information regarding operating segments in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information” (SFAS 131). Operating segments are identified as components of
an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief
operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources
and assess performance.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those
related to uncollectible receivables, vendor specific objective evidence, and the percentage of completion
related to certain service revenue. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151 “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS
151) to clarify the accounting for abnormal amount of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and
wasted material. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges. In
addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be
based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 151 to have material effect on its financial statements.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) which is a revision of SFAS 123.
Statement 123R supersedes APB 25 and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95,
“Statement of Cash Flows” (SFAS 95). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
values and the pro forma disclosure alternative is no longer allowable under Statement 123R.
Subsequently, in April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) changed the effective date
from the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005 to the first annual reporting
period beginning after June 15, 2005, which for the Company will be fiscal year 2007. The Company has
not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting SFAS 123R and is
61
therefore unable to disclose the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and
results of operations.

6. Income Taxes
During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Company filed amended federal returns for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 1999 through 2001 and certain state tax returns for the fiscal years ended March
31, 1998 through 2001, to take advantage of available tax credits related to its research and development
activities. The tax credits reported on the aforementioned returns resulted in refund claims of $418 for
federal and $158 for state income tax purposes. Additionally, the Company claimed research and
63
development credits of $781 for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004 and has estimated $400
in tax credits for the year ended March 31, 2005.
The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 accounted for a portion
of the aggregate tax credits accumulated through the end of each period due to the uncertainly concerning
the ultimate amount of tax to be credited. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a balance of $505 in
credits which had not been recognized. In the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the state of California
completed an audit of the Company’s tax returns and did not materially change credits related to research
and development. Based on the results of that audit, the provision for income taxes for the year ended
March 31, 2005 was offset by the recognition of the $505 in tax credits which had not been recognized as
of March 31 2004.
The provision for income taxes consists of the following components:

The deferred tax assets and liabilities have been shown net in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets based on the long-term or short-term nature of the items which give rise to the deferred amount.
No valuation allowance has been made against the deferred tax assets as the Company expects to receive
the full benefit of the assets recorded.
7. Employee Benefit Plans and Employment Agreements
The Company has a 401 (k) for the benefit of substantially all of its employees. Participating
employees may defer up to the IRS limit based on the IRS Code per year. The annual contribution is
determined by a formula set by the Company’s Board of Directors and may include matching and/or
discretionary contributions. The Retirement Plans may be amended or discontinued at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. Contributions of $162, $161 and $143 were made by the Company to the
retirement plan for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company has a deferred compensation plan (the Deferral Plan) for the benefit of officers and key
employees. Participating employees may defer between five and 50% of their compensation for a Deferral
Plan year. In addition, the Company may, but is not required to, make contributions into the Deferral Plan
on behalf of participating employees. Each employee’s deferrals together with earnings thereon are
accrued as part of the long-term liabilities of the Company. Investment decisions are made by each
participating employee from a family of mutual funds. To offset this liability, the Company has
purchased life insurance policies on most of the participants. The Company is the owner and beneficiary
of the policies and the cash values are intended to produce cash needed to help make the benefit payments
to employees when they retire or otherwise leave the Company. The values of the life insurance policies
and the cumulative liability for deferrals are included on the balance sheet of the Company. . The net
cash surrender value of the life insurance policies and an equal amount of related Company obligation for
deferred compensation was $1,202 and $1,013 at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The values of
the life insurance policies and the related Company obligation are included on the balance sheet in other
assets and other liabilities, respectively. The Company made contributions of $13, $12 and $12 to the
Deferral Plan for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company has a voluntary employee stock contribution plan for the benefit of all full time
employees. The plan is designed to allow employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock
through automatic payroll deduction. Each eligible employee may authorize the withholding of up to
65
10% of his/her gross payroll each pay period to be used to purchase shares on the open market by a broker
designated by the Company. In addition, the Company will match 5% of each employee’s contribution
and will pay all brokerage commissions and fees in connection with each purchase. The amount of the
Company match is discretionary and subject to change. The plan is not intended to be an employee
benefit plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and is therefore not required to
comply with that act. Contributions of approximately $6, $3 and $1 were made by the Company for
fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company has an Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) with Mr. Louis E. Silverman dated July
20, 2000 which details the terms of his employment as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Silverman is
eligible for a cash bonus of up to 50% of his annual base compensation based on performance goals
established jointly between himself and the Board of Directors.
Mr. Silverman’s employment may be terminated for any reason by himself or the Company upon 60
days written notice. Should Mr. Silverman terminate his employment due to the Company’s breach of the
Agreement he will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to six months base compensation; and (ii)
12 months worth of accelerated vesting of stock options granted pursuant to the agreement. Should Mr.
Silverman’s employment be terminated without cause or by himself for good reason, he will be entitled to
(i) unpaid base compensation and vacation earned and accrued through his date of termination plus a
lump sum equal to six months base compensation, (ii) any other performance bonus earned and not paid,
and (iii) 12 months worth of accelerated vesting of stock options granted pursuant to the agreement.
Should Mr. Silverman’s employment be terminated due to a “change of control” he will be entitled to (i)
unpaid base compensation and vacation earned plus a lump sum payment equal to six months base
compensation; (ii) any performance bonus earned but not paid; and (iii) immediate vesting of all unvested
options. A “change of control” is defined as the earliest occurrence of any of the following events: the
direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of 35% or more of the total assets of the
Company, the merger or consolidation of the Company with another company with the effect that the
shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger hold less than 51% of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding securities of the surviving company; the replacement of a majority of the
Company’s Directors without the approval of the Board of Directors; the purchase of 25% or more of the
combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company with the exception of the purchase
of securities by Sheldon Razin or Ahmed Hussein of shares owned by either Sheldon Razin or Ahmed
Hussein. The Agreement also grants immediate vesting of all unvested options should a change of
control occur whether or not Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated.
8. Employee Stock Option Plans
During fiscal 1990, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan (the “1989 Plan”)
under which 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for the issuance of options. The 1989 Plan
provides that salaried officers, key employees and non-employee Directors of the Company may, at the
discretion of the Board of Directors, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price not less than 85% of their fair market value on the option grant date. Upon an acquisition of
the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option may be subject to accelerated vesting under
certain circumstances. The 1989 Plan terminated on June 30, 1999, and there are no outstanding options
under this plan at March 31, 2005.
In September 1998, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan (the “1998 Plan”) under
which 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for the issuance of options. The 1998 Plan
provides that employees, directors and consultants of the Company, at the discretion of the Board of
Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted options to purchase shares of
Common Stock. The exercise price of each option granted shall be determined by the Board of Directors
at the date of grant. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option
may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 1998 Plan terminates on
December 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated by the Board. At March 31, 2005, 138,150 shares were
available for future grant under the 1998 Plan. As of March 31, 2005, there were 1,084,722 outstanding
options related to this plan.
66
On February 11, 2005, the Board of Directors granted 522,450 options under the 1998 plan to
selected employees and to Directors (7,000 for each Director) at an exercise price equal to the market
price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant ($38.68 per share). The options granted to
employees vest in four annual installments beginning February 11, 2006 and expire on February 11, 2012.
The options granted to Directors fully vested on May 11, 2005 and expire on February 11, 2012. No
compensation expense has been recorded for these options.
On September 21, 2004, the Board of Directors granted 35,000 options under the 1998 plan to
Directors (5,000 for each Director) at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of the grant ($25.50 per share). The options fully vested on March 21, 2005
and expire on September 21, 2009. No compensation expense has been recorded for these options.
On September 3, 2004, the Board of Directors granted 30,000 options under the 1998 plan to selected
employees at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of
the grant ($23.71 per share). The options vest in four equal annual installments beginning September 3,
2005 and expire on September 3, 2009. No compensation expense has been recorded for these options.
On June 10, 2004, the Board of Directors granted 300,000 options under the 1998 plan to selected
employees at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of
the grant ($23.34 per share). The options vest in four equal annual installments beginning June 10, 2005
and expire on June 10, 2009. No compensation expense has been recorded for these options.
On October 29, 2003, the Board of Directors granted 7,000 options under the 1998 plan to Emad
Zikry, a then Director of the Company, at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, as director fees solely for
his service on the Board of Directors. The options vested immediately and expire on October 20, 2008.
This option grant resulted in compensation expense of approximately $130 recorded in the quarter ended
December 31, 2003 using the intrinsic value method.
On October 29, 2003, the Board of Directors granted 120,000 options under the 1998 plan to
employees at an exercise price of $7.73 per share. The options vest in four equal annual installments
beginning October 29, 2004 and expire on October 29, 2008. Based on the closing share price of the
Company's stock on October 29, 2003 ($22.08 per share), this option grant will result in compensation
expense of up to $1,722 (assuming all employees granted options continue their employment at the
Company throughout the entire four year vesting period) to be amortized evenly over the next four years
ending October, 2007. During the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized
compensation expense of $431 and $180 related to these options. During the years ended March 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company received tax benefit from the exercise of stock options of $2,680,
$1,454 and $96, respectively.

Commitments & Guarantees. Software license agreements in both our QSI and NextGen Divisions
include a performance guarantee that our software products will substantially operate as described in the
applicable program documentation for a period of 365 days after delivery. To date, we have not incurred
any significant costs associated with these warranties and do not expect to incur significant warranty costs
in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties.
We have historically offered short-term rights of return of less than 20 days in certain of our sales
arrangements. Based on our historical experience with similar types of sales transactions bearing these
short-term rights of return, we have not recorded any accrual for returns in our financial statements.
Our standard sales agreements in the NextGen Division contain an indemnification provision pursuant
to which we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or
incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, any copyright or other
intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our software. The QSI
division arrangements occasionally utilize this type of language as well. As we have not incurred any
significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements, we
believe that our estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, we have no
liabilities recorded for these indemnification obligations.
68
10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred
revenue and accrued liabilities. Management believes that the fair value of cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, deferred revenue, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the
short-term nature of these instruments.
11. Operating Segment Information
The Company has prepared operating segment information in accordance with SFAS 131
“Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” to report components that are
evaluated regularly by its chief operating decision maker, or decision making group in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Reportable operating segments include the NextGen
Division and the QSI Division.
The accounting policies of the Company’s operating segments are the same as those described in
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, except that the disaggregated financial results of
the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the basis and
manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of
assisting in making internal operating decisions. Certain corporate overhead costs, such as executive and
accounting department personnel related expenses, are not allocated to the individual segments by
management. Management evaluates performance based on stand-alone segment operating income.
Because the Company does not evaluate performance based on return on assets at the operating segment
level, assets are not tracked internally by segment. Therefore, segment asset information is not presented.
Operating segment data for the three years ended March 31, was as follows:

The Company’s executive officers are elected by, and serve at the discretion of, the Board of
Directors.
Board of Directors Meetings and Related Matters
The Company’s Bylaws require that at least a majority of the members of the Board shall be
independent directors. The Bylaws state that an “independent director” means a person other than an
officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship,
which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying
out the responsibilities of a director. The following persons shall not be considered independent:
(a) a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company
or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company;
(b) a director who accepted or who has a family member (as defined below) who accepted any
payments from the company or any parent subsidiary of the Company in excess of $60,000
during the current or any of the past three fiscal years, other than for the following:
i. compensation for Board or Board committee service;
ii. payments arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities;
iii. compensation paid to a family member who is a non-executive employee of
the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company;
iv. benefits under a
tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary
compensation; or
v. loans permitted under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act of 1934;
(c) a director who is a family member of an individual who is or at any time during the past three
years was, employed by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company as an
executive officer;
(d) a director who is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or
an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the
Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three
fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or
$200,000, whichever is more, other than the following:
i. payments arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities; or
ii. payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching
programs;
(e) a director of the Company who is, or has a family member who is, employed as an executive
officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the officers of
the Company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
(f) a director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the Company’s outside
auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor who worked on the
Company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years.
A “family member” for these purposes means a person’s spouse, parents, children and siblings,
whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person’s home.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Board held 12 meetings. There were no actions
taken by unanimous written consent. No director standing for re-election to the Board attended less than
75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and all meetings of committees of the Board upon
which he served.
5
On July 7, 2005, one of the Company’s directors, Mr. Ahmed Hussein, filed a Schedule 13D with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and sent a written notice to the Company informing the
Company that, among other things, he may cumulate his votes and may seek to elect one or more of two
independent director nominees (in addition to himself) at the 2005 Annual Meeting.
In light of Mr. Hussein's schedule 13D filing, on July 18, 2005 the Board formed a Special
Committee. Among other things, the Special Committee has been delegated all powers of the Board in
connection with the solicitation and voting of proxies at the annual meeting. The Special Committee
consists of the following directors: William Botts, Patrick Cline, Maurice DeWald, Jonathan Javitt,
Vincent Love, Steven Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, and Lou Silverman.
Additionally, Mr. Hussein declined to complete the Company's 2005 Director's Questionnaire.
Therefore, this report was prepared without the benefit of any additional information that may have been
included if his Questionnaire had been completed and returned to the Company.
The Board has an Audit Committee which since September 21, 2004 has consisted of Messrs.
DeWald, Love, and Botts. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of "independent" (as defined in
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq listing standards) directors and operates under a written charter adopted
by the Board. The duties of the Audit Committee include meeting with the independent public
accountants of the Company to review the scope of the annual audit and to review the quarterly and
annual financial statements of the Company before the statements are released to the Company's
shareholders. The Audit Committee also evaluates the independent public accountants' performance and
makes recommendations to the Board as to whether the independent public accounting firm should be
retained by the Company for the ensuing fiscal year. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews the
Company's internal accounting and financial controls and reporting systems practices. During the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2005, the Audit Committee held seven meetings. The Audit Committee's current
charter, adopted January 29, 2004, is included as Appendix A to the Company's 2004 Proxy Statement.
The Audit Committee and Board have confirmed that the Audit Committee does and will continue to
include at least three independent members. The Audit Committee and the Board have confirmed that Mr.
DeWald meets applicable Nasdaq listing standards for designation as an "Audit Committee Financial
Expert" and being for being "independent."
The Board has a Nominating Committee which since September 21, 2004 has consisted of
Messrs. Plochocki, Javitt, and Love. The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and
recommending to the Board direct nominee candidates and is composed entirely of independent directors.
The Nominating Committee will consider candidate nominees for election as director who are
recommended by shareholders. Recommendations should be sent to the Secretary of the Company and
should include the candidate's name and qualifications and a statement from the candidate that he or she
consents to being named in the proxy statement and will serve as a director if elected. In order for any
candidate to be considered by the Nominating Committee and, if nominated, to be included in the proxy
statement, such recommendation must be received by the Secretary not less than 150 days prior to the
anniversary date of the Company's most recent annual meeting of shareholders.
The Nominating Committee believes that it is desirable that directors possess an understanding of
the Company's business environment and have the knowledge, skills, expertise and such diversity of
experience that the Board's ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company is
enhanced. Additional considerations may include an individual's capacity to enhance the ability of
committees of the Board to fulfill their duties and/or satisfy any independence requirements imposed by
law, regulation or listing requirements.
6
The Nominating Committee may receive suggestions from current Board members, Company
executive officers or other sources, which may be either unsolicited or in response to requests from the
Nominating Committee for such candidates. The Nominating Committee may also, from time to time,
engage firms that specialize in identifying director candidates.
Once a person has been identified by the Nominating Committee as a potential candidate, the
Nominating Committee may collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to
assess whether the person should be considered further. If the Nominating Committee determines that the
candidate warrants further consideration, the Chairman or another member of the Nominating Committee
may contact the person. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be considered and to serve on
the Board, the Nominating Committee may request information from the candidate, review the person's
accomplishments and qualifications and may conduct one or more interviews with the candidate. The
Nominating Committee may consider all such information in light of information regarding any other
candidates that the Nominating Committee might be evaluating for nomination to the Board. Nominating
Committee members may contact one or more references provided by the candidate or may contact other
members of the business community or other persons that may have greater first-hand knowledge of the
candidate's accomplishments. With the nominee's consent, the Nominating Committee may also engage
an outside firm to conduct background checks on candidates as part of the nominee evaluation process.
The Nominating Committee's evaluation process does not vary based on the source of the
recommendation, though in the case of a shareholder nominee, the Nominating Committee and/or Board
may take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of
time that such shares have been held.
In compiling the Board slate appearing in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2005 annual
meeting, nominee referrals as well as nominee recommendations were received from existing directors
and members of management - both solicited and unsolicited. No paid consultants were engaged by the
Company, the Board or any of its committees for the purposes of identifying qualified, interested Board
candidates.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 the Nominating Committee held two meetings. The
Nominating Committee's current charter, while not posted on the Company's website, is included as
Appendix B to the Company's 2004 Proxy Statement.
The Board has a Compensation Committee which since September 21, 2004 has consisted of
Messrs. Botts, DeWald, and Javitt. The Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent
directors, and is responsible for (i) ensuring that senior management will be accountable to the Board
through the effective application of compensation policies and (ii) monitoring the effectiveness of the
Company's compensation plans applicable to both senior management and the Board (including
committees thereof). The Compensation Committee establishes compensation policies applicable to the
Company's executive officers. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Compensation
Committee held nine meetings.
The Board has a Transaction Committee which since September 21, 2004 has consisted of
Messrs. Javitt, Botts, and Plochocki. The Transaction Committee is responsible for considering and
making recommendations to the Company's Board with respect to all proposals involving (i) a change in
control of the Company or (ii) the purchase or sale of assets constituting more than 10% of the Company's
total assets. The Transaction Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. During the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2005, the Transaction Committee held five meetings.
Under the Company's Bylaws, if at any time the Chairman of the Board shall be an executive
officer of the Company, or for any other reason shall not be an independent director, a non-executive
7
Lead Director ("Lead Director") shall be selected by the independent directors. The Lead Director shall be
one of the independent directors, shall be a member of the Audit Committee and of the Executive
Committee, if there is such a committee, and shall be responsible for coordinating the activities of the
independent directors. The Lead Director shall assist the Board in assuring compliance with the
Company's corporate governance procedures and policies, and shall coordinate, develop the agenda for,
and moderate executive sessions of the Board's independent directors. Such executive sessions shall be
held immediately following each regular meeting of the Board, and or at other times as designated by the
Lead Director. The Lead Director shall approve, in consultation with the other Independent Directors, the
retention of consultants who report directly to the Board. If at any time the Chairman of the Board is one
of the independent directors, then he or she shall perform the duties of the Lead Director.
Directors of the Company who are also employees of the Company are not compensated for their
services as directors or committee members. Under the terms of the Company's Director Compensation
Program, all non-employee directors of the Company shall receive a retainer of $24,000 per year, plus a
fee of $2,000 per meeting of the Board attended. Directors who serve on a committee of the Board shall
receive a fee of $1,000 per committee meeting attended. Board members traveling cross country to attend
a Board meeting or committee meeting shall receive an additional fee of $1,000. In addition to the cash
remuneration above, each newly elected nonemployee director shall receive 12,000 options to purchase
Common Stock of the Company upon election to the Board. For purposes of the Director Compensation
Program, all nonemployee directors elected at the September 21, 2004, shareholder's meeting were
deemed newly elected. Thereafter, each nonemployee director reelected to the Board shall receive 10,000
options to purchase Common Stock of the Company upon each annual reelection date. The options are
priced at the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant, fully vest in three
months from the date of grant, and expire seven years from the date of grant.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the directors and
officers of the Company and any person who owns more than ten percent of the Company's Common
Stock are required to report their initial ownership of the Company's Common Stock and any subsequent
changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Nasdaq. Officers,
directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with
copies of all forms they file in accordance with Section 16(a).
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations
from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, the Company believes
that, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, all of its officers, directors and greater than 10%
shareholders complied with all filing requirements applicable to such persons with the exception of
Ahmed Hussein who failed to file a Form 4 related to a grant of 7,000 options received on February 11,
2005. Mr. Hussein’s Form 4 concerning such grant was subsequently filed with the SEC on July 29, 2005.

Employment Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements
Mr. Silverman has an Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Company which details
the terms of his employment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Agreement granted Mr.
Silverman a total of 248,520 options which vest equally over a four year period commencing with the
effective date of the Agreement (July 20, 2000). At the time the Agreement was entered into, Mr.
Silverman was eligible for a cash bonus of up to 50% of his annual base compensation based on
performance goals established jointly between himself and the Board.
All share amounts set forth in this disclosure have been adjusted to give effect to a 2 for 1 stock
split effective March 28, 2005 and payable to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2005.
Mr. Silverman’s employment may be terminated for any reason by himself or the Company upon
60 days written notice. Should Mr. Silverman terminate his employment due to the Company’s breach of
the Agreement he will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to six months base compensation; and
(ii) 12 months worth of accelerated vesting of granted stock options. Should Mr. Silverman’s employment
be terminated without cause or by himself for good reason, he will be entitled to (i) unpaid base
compensation and vacation earned and accrued through his date of termination plus a lump sum equal to
six months base compensation, (ii) any other performance bonus earned and not paid, and (iii) vesting of
an additional 25% of all unvested stock options. Should Mr. Silverman’s employment be terminated due
to a “change of control” he will be entitled to (i) unpaid base compensation and vacation earned plus a
lump sum payment equal to six months base compensation; (ii) any performance bonus earned but not
paid; and (iii) immediate vesting of all unvested options. A “change of control” is defined as the earliest
occurrence of any of the following events: the direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of
35% of more of the total assets of the Company, the merger or consolidation of the Company with
another company with the effect that the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger
hold less than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the surviving
company; the replacement of a majority of the Company’s Directors without the approval of the Board;
the purchase of 25% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company
with the exception of the purchase of securities by Ahmed Hussein or Sheldon Razin of shares owned by
either Sheldon Razin or Ahmed Hussein. The Agreement also grants immediate vesting of all unvested
options should a change of control occur whether or not Mr. Silverman’s employment is terminated.
For options other than those discussed above, the Board, as the administrator of the Company's
1989 Stock Option Plan and 1998 Stock Option Plan, has the discretion to accelerate any outstanding
options held by the Named Executive Officers and employees in the event of an acquisition of the
Company by a merger or asset sale in which the outstanding options under each such plan are not to be
assumed by the successor corporation or substituted with options to purchase shares of such corporation.
