7 LANVISION SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the LanVision Systems, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission File Number 0-28132. Operating results for the three months ended April 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2000. Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented beginning on page 21 of its 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders. Users of financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim financial results. There has been no material change in the accounting policies followed by the Company during 1999. Note 3 - CHANGES IN BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT BALANCES The decrease in cash and cash equivalents results from the use of cash to fund current operations and purchase additional fixed assets. The decrease in receivables is due to lower revenues in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter ended January 31, 1999 and the write off of some previously reserved accounts. In August 1997, the Company announced the formation of Virtual Healthware Services (VHS), a new healthcare information service bureau division that delivers high quality, transaction-based document imaging/management services to healthcare providers from a central data center. Also, in August 1997, the Company announced that The Detroit Medical Center (DMC) signed a three-year agreement with VHS, and the contract was expected to generate in excess of $6,000,000 in revenues over the initial term of the agreement. In 1997, and the first part of 1998, the Company spent approximately $4,000,000 to build the central data center and place it into production. 7

8 During the first quarter of 1998, VHS began production at The DMC. However, during 1998, The Detroit Medical Center encountered financial difficulties, and as previously announced in February, 1999, The DMC as part of an overall financial restructuring, notified the Company that it sought to terminate its agreement with VHS. The agreement between The DMC and LanVision does not provide for early termination, and the Company has initiated settlement discussions with The DMC. However, at the present time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these discussions. At April 30, 1999, LanVision's receivables due from The DMC approximated $667,000. Management believes it has adequately provided for any possible uncollectible amounts. Other current assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses, including commissions, and acquired software and hardware awaiting installation. The increase is due to the payment of prepaid maintenance expenses. The increase in accounts payable is due to the purchase of certain equipment for installation at customer sites just prior to the end of the quarter. The decrease in accrued compensation results from the payment of year-end bonuses. The decrease in accrued other expenses results from the settlement of contractual issues relating to certain aspects of implementation on several contracts. Note 4 - STOCK OPTIONS During the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Company granted no stock options under any Stock Option Plan. During the same period 178,387 options were forfeited under all plans. Note 5 - RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE During the prior fiscal year, the company restructured certain aspects of its operations. Accordingly, the Company accrued $700,000 for the anticipated costs of severance and related taxes and fringe benefits for the reduction of the work force by 16 people and downsizing the existing facilities to the current and near term need. At April 30, 1999, approximately $388,000 of the accrual has been used for the restructuring and approximately $312,000 remains for the facilities downsizing. Note 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The basic (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted (loss) per common share calculation, excludes the effect of the common stock equivalents (stock options) as the inclusion thereof would be antidilutive. 8

9 Note 7 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities in accordance with this new accounting standard, as follows: Three months ended April 30, --------------------------------- 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Net (loss) $(1,559,020) $(3,136,085) Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the period -- (3,811) Reclassification adjustment for gains included in Net (loss) -- (37,514) ----------- ----------- Comprehensive (loss) $(1,559,020) $(3,177,410) =========== =========== Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In addition to historical information contained herein, this Discussion and Analysis, as well as other Items in this Form 10-Q, contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, included herein.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 9

10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL LanVision Systems, Inc. ("LanVision"(TM) or the "Company") is a leading supplier of Healthcare Information Access Systems and services that enable healthcare providers to access, on a real-time basis, all the various forms of clinical and financial patient information from a single permanent health information repository. The Company's solutions integrate a proprietary document imaging platform, application suites, and image and web-enabling tools, that allow for the seamless merger of "back office" functionality with existing Clinical Information Systems at the desktop. The Company offers a robust document imaging/management infrastructure that is built for high volume transaction processing and is optimized for the healthcare industry. In addition to providing the clinician access to information not previously available at the desktop, the Company's applications fulfill the administrative and legal needs of the Medical Records and Patient Financial Services departments. Furthermore, these systems have been specifically designed to integrate with any Clinical Information System. For example, the Company has integrated its products with selected systems from Shared Medical Systems Corporation, Cerner Corporation, IDX Systems Corporation, and Oacis Healthcare Holdings Corp. By offering electronic access to all the components of the Medical Record, this integration completes one of the most difficult tasks necessary to provide a true Computer Based Patient Record. The Company's systems deliver on-line enterprisewide access to fully-updated patient information which historically was maintained on a variety of media, including paper, magnetic disk, optical disk, x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm. The Company's revenues are derived from: the licensing and sale of systems comprising LanVision and third-party software and hardware components, product support, maintenance, professional services, and service bureau operations. Professional services include implementation and training, project management, custom software development and currently are provided only to the Company's customers with installed systems or who are in the process of installing systems. Revenues from professional services, maintenance and support services typically are expected to increase as the number of installed systems increase. The Company earns its highest margins on proprietary LanVision software and the lowest margin is on third-party hardware. Systems sales to customers may include different configurations of software and hardware, resulting in varying margins among contracts. The margins on professional services revenues are expected to fluctuate based upon the negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer and the Company's ability to fully utilize its professional services, maintenance and support services staff. Revenues from the Company's service bureau operations, which provides high quality, transaction-based document imaging/management services from a central data center, are expected to increase as the number of hospitals outsource services to the Company's Virtual Healthware Services division ("VHS"). Additionally, revenue from each VHS customer is expected to increase as the volume of archived historical data increases and retrievals of data increases as the systems are fully implemented within a healthcare facility. 10

11 The systems and service bureau operations enable hospitals and integrated healthcare networks to capture, store, manage, route, retrieve and process vast amounts of clinical and financial patient information. LanVision's systems, which incorporate data management, document imaging/management and workflow technologies, consolidate patient information into a single repository and provide fast and efficient access to patient information from universal workstations located throughout the enterprise, including the point of patient care. Sales are made by the Company's direct sales force and through a Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical Systems Corporation. On February 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical Systems Corporation ("SMS"). Under the terms of the agreement, SMS was granted an exclusive worldwide license to distribute WebView(TM) ChartVision(R), On-Line Chart Completion(TM) and Release of Information (ROI)(TM) (formerly called Enterprisewide Correspondence(TM)) to the SMS customer base and prospect base, as defined in the agreement, and a non-exclusive license to distribute all other LanVision products. If SMS distributes any other electronic medical record product competing with LanVision's products, the Company may terminate the SMS Remarketing Agreement. SMS has over 1,800 customers in the United States and a total of 3,500 customers in 20 countries and territories in North America and Europe. The large Healthcare Information Access Systems providers, such as SMS, are often able to positively influence the buying decisions within their customer base. LanVision management believes the distribution of its products by SMS will shorten sales cycles and increase revenues. Although SMS has already begun to actively promote LanVision's products, the full impact of this distribution agreement will likely not be realized until later in fiscal 1999, as more of the SMS organization is trained to sell and implement the LanVision products. To date SMS has sold five systems to end users through April 30, 1999. The decision by a healthcare provider to replace, substantially modify or upgrade its information systems is a strategic decision and often involves a large capital commitment requiring an extended approval process. Throughout 1996, 1997, 1998 and the first three months of 1999, the Company has experienced extended sales cycles, and sales in each period have been less than the Company's internal plans. It is common for sales cycles to take six to eighteen months from initial contact to the execution of an agreement. As a result, the sales cycles can cause significant variations in quarter to quarter results. Furthermore, healthcare organizations are assessing and implementing many new technology solutions, Year 2000 Compliance, etc., and although many of these systems do not compete with the LanVision products, these systems do compete for capital budget dollars and the available time of information system personnel within the healthcare organizations. The LanVision agreements cover the entire implementation of the system and specify the implementation schedule, which typically takes place in phases. The agreements generally provide for the licensing of the Company's proprietary software and third-party software with a one-time perpetual license fee that is adjusted depending on the number of workstations using the software. Third-party hardware is sold outright, with a one-time fee charged for installation and training. 11

12 Interfaces with existing customer systems and other consulting services are sold on a fixed fee or a time and materials basis. Generally, revenues from systems sales are recognized when a purchase agreement is signed and products are delivered. Revenues from the service elements of a contract including: routine installation, integration, project management, interface development, training, etc. are deferred until the work is performed. If an agreement requires the Company to perform services and modifications that are deemed significant to system acceptance, revenue is recorded either on the percentage-of-completion method or revenue related to the delivered hardware and software components is deferred until such obligations are completed, depending on the contractual terms. Revenues from maintenance and support agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of the revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Year 2000 Compliance issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's internal use computer programs and hardware as well as its software products that are date sensitive may recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal business activities for both the Company and its customers who rely on its products. The Company has completed all stages of reviewing, correcting and testing Year 2000 Compliance issues related to its internal use software and hardware and the Company's products, including third-party software components offered for resale. The Company presently believes the Year 2000 Compliance issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company or its customers. However, if clients do not make the necessary changes to equipment and upgrade to Year 2000 Compliant software in a timely manner, the Year 2000 Compliance issue could have a material impact on the Company and its customers. The Company has divided the Year 2000 Compliance issue into two areas: software products and systems sold to customers and internal use software and hardware. With regard to software products sold to customers, the Company has: completed the overall Year 2000 Compliance remediation plan; made a review of the existing software code; corrected all known Year 2000 code problems; developed a test plan; and tested the revised code for quality assurance. The Year 2000 quality assurance testing, which included integration testing of LanVision software products and other third-party software and hardware system components, has been completed and where necessary the code was modified. This testing and modification was done in several iterations. All LanVision Year 2000 Compliant software products have completed 12

13 Beta testing and are in General Release. The Company believes that Year 2000 compatible equipment is available for acquisition by customers, if necessary, to ensure installed systems operate properly. The Company is now working with its customers to upgrade their systems to Year 2000 Compliance. Based upon current information and the time remaining for clients to upgrade their systems to be Year 2000 Compliant, including upgrading to LanVision's Year 2000 Compliant software, the Company believes that the risk of a customer not having a Year 2000 Compliant system is minimal. Contingency plans have not yet been developed. However, if needed, contingency plans will be developed. With regard to the Company's service bureau operations, the Company has determined that its systems and equipment are Year 2000 Compliant, including the LanVision software products discussed above and telecommunications services provided by outside vendors. Without Year 2000 Compliant LanVision software and telecommunications, the service bureau operations would not be able to provide current levels of services to its customers and no contingency plan has been developed based upon our current review of the systems, software and telecommunications services. However, if needed, contingency plans will be developed. With regard to internal use software and hardware, the Company has reviewed substantially all of the internally used software and equipment, and has determined that a small amount of older computer equipment must be replaced, but the type and amount are not significant and will be replaced in the ordinary course as systems are upgraded. With regard to third-party software, it has been determined that some software is not compliant and will be upgraded, in 1999, as vendors provide Year 2000 Compliant versions. The Company also utilizes third-party vendors for processing data and payments, e.g. payroll services, 401(k) plan administration, check processing, medical benefits processing, etc. The Company has initiated communications with its vendors to determine the status of their systems. The major vendors have advised the Company they are currently Year 2000 Compliant. No contingency plan has been developed. However, if needed, contingency plans will be developed. The Company utilized both internal and external resources to reprogram, or replace and test its software products for the Year 2000 Compliance modifications. The total cost of the Year 2000 Compliance remediation is not considered to be material, less than $500,000 The Company has warranted, to certain customers, that its products will be Year 2000 Compliant. If the Company were unable to provide a Year 2000 Compliant solution to the customers, the customers could claim breach of contract and seek available legal remedies. Provisions of the Company's long-term debt agreement and the Remarketing Agreement with SMS required the Company's products be Year 2000 Compliant by December 31, 1998. Although, LanVision's products were modified to be Year 2000 Compliant by December 31, 1998, all Alpha and Beta testing was not completed as of that date. Waivers of compliance have been received from the lender and the Remarketing Agreement with SMS is being amended Based upon the current best estimate for remediation of the Year 2000 Compliance issues, the 13

14 Company believes the risk is minimal that the Company has not complied with current commitments. UNEVEN PATTERNS OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS The Company's revenues from systems sales have varied, and may continue to vary, significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of the volume and timing of systems sales and delivery. Professional services revenues also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of the installation of software and hardware, project management and customized programming. Revenues from maintenance services do not fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, but have been increasing as the number of customers' increase. Revenues from the VHS service bureau operations are expected to increase over time, as more hospitals outsource services to VHS, existing customers increase the volume of documents stored on the systems, and the number of retrievals increase. VHS is currently installing its system at the Health Alliance, Inc., a group of five hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Because a significant percentage of the Company's operating costs are expensed as incurred, a variation in the usage of VHS services, the timing of systems sales and installations and the resulting revenue recognition, can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. The Company's revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of other factors, many of which are outside the Company's control. These factors include the relatively high purchase price of a LanVision system, unpredictability in the number and timing of systems sales, length of the sales cycle, delays in the installation process and changes in the customer's financial condition or budget. As a result, period to period comparisons may not be meaningful with respect to the past operations of the Company nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operations of the Company. REVENUES Revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1999, were $2,372,048, compared with $3,605,030 reported in the comparable quarter of 1998. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 do not include approximately $1,270,000 of revenues for previously announced sales made by our Remarketing Partner Shared Medical Systems Corporation. As noted, at year-end, revenues on the contracts have been deferred until certain integration is completed, which is expected to occur in the second quarter when the final integration testing is completed. Sales activity has been slower than planned as many healthcare institutions are focused on resolving Year 2000 Compliance problems with legacy systems. Additionally, consolidations and mergers within the healthcare industry and the attendant changes in management have delayed or terminated sales discussions. Additionally, healthcare institutions are assessing and implementing many new technologies. Although many of these systems do not compete with the LanVision products, these systems do compete for capital budget dollars and the available time 14

15 of information systems personnel within the healthcare industries. Management believes the healthcare industry's focus on Year 2000 Compliance will continue to adversely affect potential sales opportunities for its direct sales force through at least the first half of fiscal 1999. Also, the Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical Systems Corporation has developed more slowly than expected. However, management believes revenue from this Remarketing Agreement will represent a greater percentage of the Company's total revenues in the future. After an agreement is executed, LanVision does not record revenues until it delivers the hardware and software or performs the agreed upon services. The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and complexity of the system and the scheduling of the implementation, training, interface development and other services requested by the customer. Accordingly, significant variations in revenues can result as more fully discussed under "Uneven Patterns of Quarterly Operating Results." Three customers accounted for approximately 36% of the revenues for the first quarter of 1999 compared with 47% of revenues in the comparable period of the prior year. OPERATING EXPENSES Cost of Systems Sales The cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software development costs on a straight-line basis, royalties and the cost of third-party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems sales may vary from period to period depending on the mix of hardware and software of the systems or add-on sales delivered. The cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems sales for the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 were 47% and 37%, respectively. The higher cost reflects the lower mix of LanVision software with higher margins relative to the hardware and third party software components with lower margins and higher costs. Cost of Services, Maintenance and Support The cost of services, maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third-party maintenance contracts. As a percentage of services, maintenance and support revenues, the cost of such services, maintenance and support was 72% and 106% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. The improvement in the cost of sales is due to reduced operating expenses and more effective utilization of the professional services and support staffs. The Company's support margins are highest on LanVision's proprietary software. Accordingly, margins are expected to improve as more customers are added. The LanVision Professional Services staff provides services on a time and material or fixed fee basis. The Professional Services staff has, in the past, experienced some inefficiencies in the delivery of services, and certain projects have taken longer to complete than originally estimated, thus adversely affecting operating performance. Additionally, the Professional Services staff 15

16 does spend a portion of its time on non-billable activities, such as developing training courses and developing plans to move to LanVision's new product releases, etc. Management believes the increase in experience of its Professional Services staff and the increase in backlog should improve the overall efficiency and operating performance of this group. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of: compensation and related benefits and reimbursable travel and living expenses related to the Company's sales, marketing and administrative personnel; advertising and marketing expenses, including trade shows and similar type sales and marketing expenses; and general corporate expenses, including occupancy costs. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $1,261,239 compared with $2,466,221 in the comparable prior quarter. The reductions in Selling, General and Administrative expenses is due to decreased staffing levels and reduced expenses in other areas. The Company has gradually reduced its direct sales staff as the Company focuses its sales efforts on indirect distribution through its current and future Remarketing Partners. Product Research and Development Product research and development expenses consist primarily of: compensation and related benefits; the use of independent contractors for specific development projects; and an allocated portion of general overhead costs, including occupancy. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, research and development expenses decreased to $546,012 compared with $1,450,491 in the comparable prior quarter as a result of a reduction of staff and use of outside contractors as major development projects were completed in the later portion of the prior fiscal year. The Company capitalized, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, $75,000 and $99,000 of product research and development costs in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income consists primarily of interest on invested cash. The decrease in interest income results from the sale of investment securities to fund operations and acquire fixed assets. Interest expense relates to the long-term debt. Net loss The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $1,559,020 ($.0.18 per share) compared with a net loss of $3,136,085 ($.0.36 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The decrease in the net loss for the period results primarily from reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses and product research and development as well as reductions in costs of sales, primarily as a result of staff reductions and better utilization of staff. In spite of the less than anticipated number of new customer agreements signed in the past, management continues to believe that the healthcare document imaging and workflow market is 16

17 going to be a significant market. Management believes it has made the investments in the talent and technology necessary to establish the Company as a leader in this marketplace, and continues to believe the Company is well positioned to experience significant revenue growth primarily through third party distributors and remarketing partners. Since commencing operations in 1989, the Company has incurred operating losses. Although the Company achieved profitability in fiscal years 1992 and 1993, the Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994 through 1998. In view of the Company's prior operating history, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve consistent profitability on a quarterly or annual basis or that it will be able to sustain or increase its revenue growth in future periods. Based upon the expenses associated with current and planned staffing levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing revenues. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception in 1989, the Company has funded its operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash generated by operations, a 1994 private placement of convertible redeemable preferred stock, an initial public offering and borrowings, including, a $6,000,000 loan in July, 1998. The Company's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or medical facilities with good credit histories, and payments have been received within normal time frames for the industry. However, recently some healthcare organizations have experienced significant operating losses as a result of limits on third-party reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental entities. Agreements with customers often involve significant amounts and contract terms typically require customers to make progress payments. The Company has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $1,909,000, payable over the next five years. However, the VHS service bureau operations will need to acquire additional software and equipment as VHS adds additional hospitals and clinics to its customer base. The central data center has been configured to serve approximately fifty hospitals, with significant expansion capabilities. However, for certain new customers VHS will operate one or more onsite document capture centers and will provide the necessary scanning equipment. Each document capture center is expected to require approximately $125,000 of equipment. Also, because VHS charges for its services on a per transaction fee basis, the Company's cash flow for capital and operating expenses will normally be greater than cash inflows until customers begin to use the system at anticipated normal volumes for a period of time. Over the last several years, the Company's revenues have been less than the Company's internal plans. However, during the same time period, the Company has expended significant amounts for capital expenditures, product research and development, sales, support and consulting expenses as the Company expanded its operations in anticipation of significant revenue growth. This has resulted in significant net cash outlays over the last three years. Although the Company 17

18 has increased its revenues, reduced staffing levels and related expenses, and improved operating performance, the Company's expenses continue to exceed its revenues. Accordingly, to achieve profitability and positive cash flow, it is necessary for the Company to increase revenues or continue to reduce expenses. Management believes that the recent general release of new or enhanced versions of products has significantly strengthened the product lines. Additionally, the SMS Remarketing Agreement has significantly expanded the sales distribution capabilities, and management believes that market opportunities are such that the Company should be able to continue to increase its revenues. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to increase its revenues. At April 30,1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,147,981. Cash equivalents consist primarily of overnight bank repurchase agreements. Under the terms of its loan agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain a minimum cash and investment balance of $2,400,000. Management has significantly reduced operating expenses throughout 1998 and the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, and believes the Company could achieve break-even or profitability in fiscal year 1999, before interest expense, on a revenue increase similar to 1998. However, based upon current expenditure levels and in the absence of increased revenues, the Company would continue to operate at a loss. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, management will need to continually assess its revenue prospects compared to its current expenditure levels. If it does not appear likely that revenues will increase, it will be necessary to further reduce operating expenses or raise cash through additional borrowings, the sale of assets, or other equity financing. Certain of these actions will require lender approval. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in any of these efforts. If it is necessary to significantly reduce operating expenses, this could have an adverse affect on future operating performance. In December, 1998, the Company retained CIBC Oppenheimer Corp. as a financial advisor to help the Company plan for future capital needs and assist the Company with decisions that maximize shareholder value. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or expenses. Additionally, the Company does not have any significant market risk exposure at April 30, 1999. SIGNED AGREEMENTS - BACKLOG LanVision enters into master agreements with its customers to specify the scope of the system to be installed and services to be provided by LanVision, the agreed upon aggregate price and the timetable for implementation. The master agreement typically provides that the Company will deliver the system in phases pursuant to the customer's purchase orders, thereby allowing the customer flexibility in the timing of its receipt of systems and to make adjustments that may arise based upon changes in technology or changes in customer needs. The master agreement also allows the customer to request additional components as the installation progresses, which additions are then separately negotiated as to price and terms. Historically, customers have 18

19 ultimately purchased systems and services in addition to those originally contemplated by the master agreement, although there can be no assurance that this trend will continue in the future. At April 30, 1999, the Company's customers (excluding customers of the Virtual Healthware Services division) had entered into master agreements for systems and services (excluding support and maintenance) which had not yet been delivered, installed and accepted which, if fully performed, would generate sales of approximately $7,900,000, compared with $7,000,000 at the end of fiscal 1998. The systems and services are currently expected to be delivered over the next two to three years. In addition, the Company anticipates approximately $2,000,000 in transaction-based fee revenues for the Virtual Healthware Services division's new client over the four-year life of the contract. Because implementation and service bureau fees are dependent upon the customer's schedule and usage, the Company is unable to predict accurately the amount of revenues in future periods. The Company's master agreements also generally provide for an initial maintenance period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance and support services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance and support revenues for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 and 1996 were approximately $2,755,000, $2,151,000 and $1,186,000, respectively and are expected to increase as new or expanded systems are installed. The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and complexity of the system, the implementation schedule requested by the customer and usage by customers of the VHS service bureau operations. Therefore, LanVision is unable to accurately predict the revenue it expects to achieve in any particular period. The Company's master agreements generally provide that the customer may terminate its agreement upon a material breach by the Company, or may delay certain aspects of the installation. There can be no assurance that a customer will not cancel all or any portion of master agreement or delay installations. A termination or installation delay of one or more phases of an agreement, or the failure of the Company to procure additional agreements, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
