PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

LanVision Systems, Inc. ("LanVision"(TM) or the "Company") is a leading
provider of healthcare information access systems that enable hospitals and
integrated healthcare networks to capture, manage, store, retrieve and process
vast amounts of clinical and financial patient information. The Company's
systems deliver on-line enterprise-wide 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.
LanVision's systems, which incorporate data management, document imaging 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. The systems are specifically designed to meet the needs of physicians and
other medical and administrative personnel and can accommodate multiple users
requiring simultaneous access to patient information, thereby eliminating file
contention. By providing access to all forms of patient information, the Company
believes that its healthcare information access systems are essential components
of the computer-based patient record ("CPR").

On February 8, 1996, the Company was reorganized when LanVision Systems, Inc.
was incorporated in the State of Delaware as a holding company with LanVision,
Inc. as a wholly-owned operating subsidiary incorporated in 1989 in the State of
Ohio. The result of the reorganization is that the stockholders of LanVision,
Inc. became the owners of all the outstanding shares of LanVision Systems,
Inc.'s common and preferred stock, and LanVision 



                                       3
   4

Systems, Inc. became the owner of all of the outstanding shares of LanVision,
Inc.'s common and preferred stock.

On April 18, 1996, the Registrant issued 2,912,500 Shares of Common Stock in an
initial public offering. The net proceeds to the Company, after expenses, was
$34,304,782.

Industry Background

Over the last ten years, healthcare expenditures have doubled to approximately
$1.0 trillion, and currently represent approximately 14% of the U.S. Gross
Domestic Product. In response to these dramatic increases, the healthcare
industry is undergoing significant change as competition and cost-containment
measures imposed by governmental and private payors have created substantial
pressures on healthcare providers to control healthcare costs while providing
quality patient care. At the same time, the healthcare delivery system is
experiencing a shift from a highly fragmented group of non-allied healthcare
providers to integrated healthcare networks which combine all of the services,
products and equipment necessary to address the needs of healthcare customers.
As a result, healthcare providers are seeking to cut costs, increase
productivity and enhance the quality of patient care through improved access to
information throughout the entire hospital or integrated healthcare network.

Today, the majority of the patient record is paper-based in most hospitals. The
inefficiencies of a paper-based record increase the cost of patient care.
According to The Computer-Based Patient Record published in 1991 by The
Institute of Medicine, physicians cannot gain access to medical records up to
30% of the time during patient visits, and users cannot simultaneously access
the record when only a single copy of the paper-based patient record is
available. In the Company's experience in installing its systems, a typical 500
bed hospital can produce 20,000 to 25,000 pages of new patient information each
day even with computerized admission, billing, laboratory and radiology systems,
and individual physician document retrieval requests can be as high as 100 per
physician per day. The volume of medical images in the patient record is
expanding as well. In addition to classic images such as x-rays and CAT scans,
new image forms such as digitized slides, videos and photographs proliferate.
Thus, the ability to store and retrieve images of voluminous paper records and
medical images on a timely basis is a critical feature of a complete CPR.

In order to simultaneously reduce costs and enhance the level of patient care,
hospitals and other healthcare providers are demanding comprehensive,
cost-effective information systems that deliver rapid access to fully updated
and complete patient information. Traditional healthcare information systems are
inadequate because (i) they do not capture large amounts of the patient record
which are paper-based and stored in various sites throughout the enterprise;
(ii) computerized patient data is generated using a variety of disparate systems
which cannot share information; and (iii) multimedia medical information such as
x-rays, CAT scans, MRI's, video and audio information are frequently
inaccessible at the point of patient care. Accordingly, hospitals and other
healthcare providers have begun to increase their healthcare information systems
expenditures. In a hospital survey jointly conducted by Hewlett-Packard and the
Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society in February 1997, 35% of
those 



                                       4
   5

surveyed expected their healthcare information system budgets to increase by
over 30% per year and 19% expected their budgets to increase by over 50% per
year. In addition, 20% of the institutions plan to focus on clinical data
repositories and 19% on electronic medical records. The Kennedy Group, a
healthcare consulting firm, projected in an April, 1995, study that healthcare
information technology expenditures will double or triple over five years,
resulting in a total market size of $18 to $20 billion by the year 2000.

Document imaging and workflow technologies are essential elements of a CPR
because they allow for the storage of unstructured data (i.e., patient record
elements other than data or text, such as photographs, images of the document,
video, x-ray images) and they enable digitized x-rays, CAT scans, MRI's, video
and audio information to be accessed and delivered to the caregiver at the point
of patient care. The Company's management believes the demand for the Company's
healthcare information access systems, which can supply imaging capabilities to
the CPR, will increase in future years.

The LanVision Solution

LanVision's healthcare information access systems provide solutions for the
patient information access needs of hospitals and integrated healthcare
networks. LanVision's systems enable medical and administrative personnel to
rapidly and efficiently capture, manage, store, retrieve and process vast
amounts of clinical and financial patient information.

LanVision's systems (i) capture and store electronic data from disparate
hospital information systems through real-time, computerized interfaces; (ii)
facilitate the storage of digitized multimedia data and medical images such as
x-rays, CAT scans, MRI's, video and audio information; (iii) provide
applications for efficiently scanning and automatically indexing paper-based
records; (iv) allow storage of a patient's lifetime medical record on low cost
optical disks which also provides rapid access to high volumes of data
enterprise-wide; (v) provide workflow automation to facilitate the reengineering
of business processes; and (vi) incorporate physician-oriented interfaces that
allow the user to easily locate and retrieve patient information in the hospital
or clinical setting, including the point of patient care.

LanVision's healthcare information access systems provide financial,
administrative, and clinical benefits to the healthcare provider and facilitate
more effective patient care. These benefits include:

improved access to patient information by various search criteria to assist in
making informed clinical and financial decisions;

reduced costs for administrative personnel due to increased workflow efficiency,
as data can be routed within an organization to all users who need to process
that information simultaneously or in sequence as required;

increased productivity through the elimination of file contention by providing
multiple users simultaneous access to patient medical records;





                                       5
   6

reduced costs and improved care through the reduction of unnecessary testing and
admissions;

improved cash flow through accelerated collections and reduction of "technical
denials" (which occur when a third-party payor refuses payment because of the
provider's inability to substantiate billing claims due to loss of portions or
all of the patient record);

expedited treatment decisions, improved predictability of patient outcomes and
fewer redundant tests as a result of timely access to complete information;

fewer medical record errors by minimizing misfiled, lost and improperly
completed records; and

increased security of patient information through improved controls on access to
confidential data and the creation of audit trails that identify the persons who
accessed or even tried to access such information.

The LanVision Strategy

The Company's objective is to continue to be a leading provider of healthcare
information access systems. Important elements of the Company's business
strategy include:

Expand Sales, Marketing and Distribution Channels. In fiscal 1996, LanVision
increased its sales and marketing personnel from eight to thirty and increased
its advertising and other marketing activities. The planned expansion was
designed to increase the Company's direct and indirect sales capabilities and
expand LanVision's overall presence in the market place. The Company intends to
continue to expand its direct sales operation especially in geographic areas the
company is currently not present. However, the overall expansion will be at a
slower pace than in 1996 and will be monitored along with the Company's
assessment of market share growth opportunities. During 1996 and through April
15, 1997, the Company established strategic marketing relationships with Lanier
Worldwide, Inc., 3M Health Information Systems, Daou Systems, Inc. and Crowe,
Chizek and Company LLP. The Company intends to increase the number of
third-party marketing reseller/referral arrangements, and increase LanVision's
pre-sales support to these partners.

Develop New Software Applications and Increase the Functionality of Existing
Applications. During 1996, the Company released new versions of
ChartVision(R) with increased functionality along with MultiView(TM), an
advanced ChartVision viewer providing users with a longitudinal view of patient
data with multiple document display, intuitive screen flows and familiar folder
and tab functionality. Also, in 1996, the Company continued development of
On-Line Chart Completion(TM), an advanced application that automates the
identification and processing of deficiencies in patient charts. Currently,
On-Line Chart Completion is installed at two beta sites. Additionally, in 1996,
the Company began development of Correspondence, an application that helps
healthcare organizations quickly and efficiently complete and invoice requests
for patient information from various external sources. Correspondence is
scheduled to be released in the first half of fiscal 1997. The Company also
continued development of OmniVision(TM), a suite of


                                       6
   7

image-enabling and workflow applications that allows physicians, clinicians and
other users to access information, such as document and medical images that were
previously unavailable through their existing applications. OmniVision has been
ordered by several customers and will be delivered in the first half of 1997.
Also, in 1996, the Company began developing version 2.0 of AccountVision(R).
AccountVision 2.0 will have increased functionality and be more conducive to
broad scale sales distribution. Finally, during 1996, the Company began
development of WebView(TM), a product that will allow hospitals and integrated
delivery networks to take advantage of the World Wide Web whereby users can
immediately and simultaneously access healthcare information across the Internet
with complete security and audit trail. LanVision intends to continue to expand
its product development efforts and increase the functionality of existing
applications along with the development of new applications using document
imaging and workflow technologies.

Image-Enable Clinical Data Repositories and Other Applications Software. Today,
health information is often stored on numerous dissimilar host-based and
departmental systems that are spread throughout the enterprise and are not
integrated. Additionally, these current systems do not address the data stored
on paper or the increasing volume of medical images such as x-rays, CAT scans,
digitized slides, exploratory scopes, photographs, audio, etc. LanVision
believes the efficiencies and productivity of hospitals and integrated delivery
networks can be greatly enhanced by seamlessly integrating their historical
information systems with document imaging and workflow applications. Physicians,
clinicians and other healthcare users then have access to the complete patient
record, including the structured data, such as a lab result, and the related
unstructured data, such as an x-ray or a doctor's hand written note. Currently,
LanVision is working with several vendors to image-enable their clinical data
repository systems and other applications. LanVision is marketing image-enabling
through its product OmniVision, which is scheduled for delivery in the first
half of 1997. LanVision intends to continue to aggressively market its unique
image-enabling solutions to end users and other third-party software application
providers.

Market New Entry Level System. Historically, LanVision has focused on large
hospitals, where the initial investment by customers in LanVision's systems may
exceed $1,000,000. A study conducted in 1994 by the Rheinner Group, a consulting
firm, indicated that over 60% of the document imaging market opportunities were
in hospitals and clinics planning to invest less than $500,000. To address the
needs of this market segment, LanVision introduced 1stVision(TM), a
pre-configured departmental ChartVision system that can be purchased for less
than $500,000 and subsequently be expanded enterprise-wide.

Maintain Technological Leadership. LanVision's systems use advanced
client/server architecture and service some of the nation's leading healthcare
providers. The Company has achieved technological leadership by designing its
applications software to operate on multiple hardware platforms, operating
systems, imaging engines, workflow engines and database management systems. In
addition, ChartVision was designed with application program interfaces to enable
third-party software applications to easily access ChartVision features and
functionality. The Company intends to maintain technological leadership by
continuing to apply advances in 

                                       7
   8


computer software and hardware technology to the development, implementation and
support of its systems.

Systems and Services

LanVision's systems employ an open architecture which supports a variety of
operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT and UNIX.
The Company's systems can be configured with various hardware platforms,
including INTEL-compatible personal computers, IBM RS/6000, Hewlett-Packard
9000, Sun Sparc 1000 and NCR 3000 computers. The Company's systems include a
graphical user interface designed specifically by the Company for physicians and
other medical and administrative personnel in hospitals and integrated
healthcare networks. The Company's systems operate on multiple imaging
platforms, including those of FileNet, Kofax, and Optika. The Company's
healthcare information access systems incorporate advanced features which allow
customers to restrict direct access to confidential patient information, secure
patient data from unauthorized indirect access and have audit trail features.
Currently, the Company markets, installs and services ChartVision and
AccountVision. Additionally, the Company has recently installed On-Line Chart
Completion, at two beta sites and On-Line Chart Completion has been ordered by
other customers but not yet delivered. Also, the Company is image-enabling
certain clinical data repositories for customers that will incorporate
OmniVision. Additionally, the Company has various new products and add-on
modules under development. A brief description of the Company's products,
including products in development, follows:

ChartVision, originally developed in 1991, is a highly-evolved electronic
patient record application, that is designed to provide health information when
and where it is needed. This software replaces the physical paper medical record
with optical imaging technology. In addition, it has the ability to image-enable
third-party applications as well as accept data from other hospital information
systems. Health information traditionally stored on magnetic tape, optical disk,
x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm is consolidated into a single point of
access with ChartVision.

AccountVision is a patient financial services application based on document
imaging and workflow technology. It streamlines all areas of patient financial
services by reducing or eliminating the paper being gathered, assembled, and
manually routed through the department. AccountVision stores documents on
optical and magnetic disk for easy inquiry and retrieval processing. This allows
AccountVision to bring billing attachments and documentation to patient
financial service representatives when and where they need it. AccountVision
allows automated management of the volumes of information being transmitted
electronically, including data from a healthcare facility's registration,
billing, managed care systems, etc. AccountVision, Version 1.0, incorporates
software originally developed by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, a 565
bed hospital located in New York City, and the Company licenses the exclusive
marketing rights and source code to this application. (Memorial Sloan-Kettering
continues to use the original software.) The installation of AccountVision 1.0
includes the customization of software code to meet the customer's specific
needs. AccountVision 1.0 has been installed and is in production at Stanford
University Medical Center. AccountVision 2.0 is currently being developed by
LanVision. AccountVision 2.0 will have increased functionality and modularity,
which will 

                                       8
   9



typically reduce the need for customization. Additionally, AccountVision 2.0
will have a common database with ChartVision. AccountVision 2.0 is expected to
be completed in the second half of 1997.

On-Line Chart Completion is an add-on module to ChartVision and is in its final
development stages. It is currently installed at two beta sites. On-Line Chart
Completion provides healthcare facilities with automated management of chart
deficiencies. Through the integration of medical records workflow processing and
imaging technology, On-Line Chart Completion enables the deficiency analyst to
identify, assign, review and reassign medical record deficiencies. The clinician
can sign documents, annotate and highlight, view the entire record while
dictating, attach notes and comments and complete assigned deficiencies.
Management can track and report on deficiency progress throughout the
enterprise. On-Line Chart Completion also provides standard Joint Commission on
the Accreditations of Healthcare Organizations reports and customer defined
reports. Cases can be updated at any time and simultaneous access to the
documents eliminates file contention. The automated, flexible workflow processes
were designed to be intuitive to the end users, analysts and clinicians. This
makes it easy for clinicians to finish their on-line "paper work." Because it is
flexible and easy to use, On-Line Chart Completion helps customers increase
efficiency immediately. As a result, hospitals and integrated delivery networks
can quickly improve cash flow through faster billing, reduced denials and
optimized coding.

Correspondence is currently being developed and will be an add-on module to
ChartVision and AccountVision. Correspondence is expected to be completed in the
first half of 1997. Correspondence was developed to help hospitals and
integrated delivery networks quickly and efficiently complete requests for
information from various sources. It is an automated, flexible workflow
processing and management reporting system. It provides on-line access to all
pertinent information. The implementation of a workflow system offers an
opportunity to streamline and re-design existing core operational processes. The
correspondence analyst's work queue accepts incoming requests that are faxed,
scanned (mail), manually created (phone call) or delivered through an interface
from another system within the enterprise. Once a request is received by the
Correspondence system, it automatically initiates the workflow process and moves
the users through the pre-defined steps necessary to fulfill the request. The
actual request document can also be routed as an attachment and is then
available as needed. Requests are tracked and the current status can be viewed
on-line. The Correspondence system has a flexible invoice processing option that
can be built into the workflow process, and it produces standard productivity,
revenue and summary reports. Ad hoc reports may also be generated.

OmniVision is also in its final development stages and is expected to be
completed in the first half of 1997. OmniVision is a suite of image-enabling and
workflow applications that provides physicians, clinicians and other healthcare
users with immediate, simultaneous access to any patient information including
multimedia and paper-based information, through their existing applications.

OmniVision delivers unstructured data and workflow automation to any third-party
application while creating a complete historical repository. As a result,
OmniVision allows hospitals and integrated delivery systems to consolidate all
health information, whether text, document and


                                       9
   10

medical images, sound, or video into one easily accessible repository. This
provides a significant advantage to healthcare organizations that currently rely
on manual processes or multiple non-integrated applications to access the
complete patient record.

OmniVision allows any application across the entire enterprise to be
image-enabled, from the host healthcare information system, to human resources,
materials management, patient billing, as well as clinical data repositories
("CDR"), computer-based patient record systems, and others. And when the CDR is
image-enabled, users can access any piece of information on the same workstation
and from the same screen display, including the point of patient care. This
means that users can view traditional electronic data and images simultaneously
on the same screen without signing in and out of multiple applications.

LanVision is currently working with various customers to image-enable their
existing information systems using OmniVision including: the "Oacis" clinical
data repository system at Stanford University Medical Center; the "PHAMIS"
clinical data repository at Grant/Riverside Methodist Hospital and U.S. Health
Corporation; and the "AutoCyte" pathology system at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center. The Company is also in the process of image-enabling the 3M
Healthcare Enterprise Management system, a CPR system and the MasterChart CPR
system, currently being distributed by Lanier Healthcare Systems.

The Company views the seamless integration of its products with third-party
clinical data repository software systems and other applications systems as a
key element of the Company's business strategy. To the degree that the Company
is successful in image-enabling these applications, the Company believes that it
will be able to offer its image-enabling systems to other healthcare providers
using systems such as Oacis, PHAMIS, etc.

WebView development began in the second half of fiscal 1996. WebView will
provide seamless, easy access to any health information via the Internet. With
WebView, Hospitals and integrated delivery networks will be able to take
advantage of the World Wide Web for truly enterprise-wide access. Regardless of
where they are located, healthcare users will be able to immediately and
simultaneously access any healthcare information across the Internet with
complete security and audit trail. Using popular Internet browsers, WebView will
allow authorized users to query LanVision systems, retrieving, displaying,
navigating and printing documents in accordance with appropriate security
permissions restrictions. WebView will allow healthcare organizations to
establish a private, secure intranet (a private network that utilizes Internet
protocols and technology) and scale to the Internet as appropriate. Development
of WebView is expected to be completed in late fiscal 1997.

The Company continues to focus its research and development efforts to develop
new application software and increase the functionality of existing
applications. The Company's research and development efforts are influenced
significantly by customer requirements and desires. During fiscal 1996, the
Company's product development staff grew from five to nineteen people. The
company intends to continue to expand its product development staff in fiscal
1997.

In fiscal year 1996, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Beth Israel
Medical Center and University Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, accounted for 21%, 17%
and 11%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. In fiscal year 1995,
Beth Israel Medical Center, Albert Einstein Health Network and University
Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, accounted for 35%, 19% and 16%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. In fiscal year 1994, Beth Israel Medical Center,
University Hospital, Cincinnati, OH and Summa Health System accounted for 37%,
35% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. The small number of
customers and the extended sales cycle have contributed to variability in
quarterly and annual operating results. The Company expects that as its customer
base continues to increase, the actions of any one customer will have less of an
effect on its quarterly and annual operating results.

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 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.





                                       11
   12

At January 31, 1997 and January 31, 1996, the Company's customers had entered
into master agreements for systems and services (excluding maintenance) which
had not yet been delivered, installed and accepted which, if fully performed,
would generate sales of approximately $6,600,000 and $10,400,000, respectively.
Such master agreements as of January 31, 1997 relate to ten customers and are
currently expected to be performed over the next two to three years. Of the
backlog at January 31, 1997, the Company has received purchase orders for
approximately $3,200,000 of systems and services (excluding maintenance), of
which $2,200,000 is currently anticipated to be delivered in fiscal year 1997.

The Company's master agreements also generally provide for an initial
maintenance period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance
services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance revenues for
fiscal years 1996 and 1995 and 1994 were approximately $1,186,000, $906,000 and
$593,000, respectively.

The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and
complexity of the system and the implementation schedule requested by the
customer. In addition, shipments to customers may be postponed due to delays in
the Company's development schedule. 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, may delay certain aspects
of the installation and may terminate the agreement, at the customer's
discretion, without penalty and without regard to the Company's performance. To
date, no customer has terminated a master agreement, although customers have
delayed installations from the original scheduled installation date and have
modified the original system configuration. There can be no assurance that a
customer will not cancel all or any portion of a master agreement in the future.
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.

Royalties

AccountVision, Version 1.01, incorporates software originally developed by
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. In 1994, Memorial
Sloan-Kettering granted to LanVision the exclusive marketing rights to this
software. Memorial Sloan-Kettering also granted to LanVision a non-exclusive,
unlimited copy license to re-use and reengineer this software. The Company's
agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering provides that the Company will pay a
specified royalty to Memorial Sloan-Kettering each time the Company provides
AccountVision, Version 1.0, to another customer. The initial term of the
agreement expires in October 1997 and is automatically renewable for one year
periods thereafter. Memorial Sloan-Kettering may terminate the agreement prior
to expiration if the Company fails to meet stated minimum licensing and sales
representative quotas. To date, AccountVision 1.0 has only been installed at
Stanford University Medical Center. Currently, LanVision is developing
AccountVision 2.0. AccountVision 2.0 will have increased functionality,
modularity and a common database with ChartVision. AccountVision 2.0 is expected
to be complete in the second half of 1997. LanVision retains ownership of all
revisions, enhancements and upgrades to the original form of AccountVision
developed by LanVision.


                                       12
   13


The Company has agreed with several other customers that with regard to specific
customized software and, in one instance, certain derivatives thereof, the
Company will pay a specified royalty to the original customer each time the
Company provides the same software to another customer. As of the date hereof,
the Company has paid no royalties under these agreements.

Sales and Marketing

At January 31, 1996, the Company's sales and marketing force consisted of eight
people, including a regional marketing manager in New York, serving the
northeast United States region; a regional marketing manager in Chicago, serving
the Great Lakes region; and a six-person marketing and sales support team.
During fiscal 1996, the Company expanded its sales and marketing force by
twenty-two people, net. At January 31, 1997, the direct sales force consisted of
nine commissioned sales personnel and seventeen personnel in pre-sales support
and marketing. During 1996, the Company terminated a sales agent in San Diego,
previously serving the Western United States, and this region is now being
served by the Company's direct sales force and the Company's other third-party
resellers. LanVision intends to continue to expand its direct sales force,
especially in areas where the Company does not currently have a geographic
presence. However, the expansion in 1997 will be at a slower pace and will be
monitored along with the Company's assessment of market growth opportunities.

During 1996, the Company placed increased emphasis on indirect distribution
channels. LanVision hired a director of indirect sales channels and transferred
three people from the direct sales group to support the indirect sales
operation.

In March 1996, as an initial step in the Company's strategy to expand its sales,
marketing and distribution channels, the Company entered into a marketing
agreement with Lanier Worldwide, Inc. ("Lanier"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Harris Corporation. LanVision granted to Lanier the non-exclusive right to
market and distribute ChartVision, AccountVision, On-Line Chart Completion and
related applications throughout North America until June 30, 1997 and for
one-year renewal periods thereafter as may be agreed by both parties. Lanier is
obligated to market ChartVision as its exclusive applications software for
medical records except to those Lanier customers currently using certain Lanier
products and except as agreed by both parties. Lanier has the right to terminate
the agreement if LanVision markets a CPR product which directly competes with
Lanier's CPR product and LanVision has the right to terminate the agreement if
Lanier markets a product which directly competes with ChartVision, AccountVision
or On-Line Chart Completion. The contractual terms of the agreement are designed
to operate as an incentive for Lanier to focus on small- to medium-sized
hospitals by providing Lanier with a larger discount for software licensed to
small- to medium-sized hospitals. LanVision will have the first opportunity to
provide installation and maintenance services to customers that have 400 or 

                                       13

   14

more licensed beds and Lanier will have such first opportunity with regard to
customers that have less than 400 licensed beds.

In April 1997, LanVision and Lanier agreed in principle to a new three year
reseller agreement. Under the proposed agreement, Lanier will market LanVision's
complete line of document imaging applications including ChartVision,
AccountVision, OmniVision, On-Line Chart Completion, Correspondence and WebView.
Lanier has agreed to partner exclusively with LanVision in these application
areas. The new agreement will encompass Lanier's entire 125 member healthcare
sales organization. In addition, Lanier will establish a dedicated team of
specialists that will focus on document imaging and workflow applications.
LanVision has agreed to dedicate a team of pre-sales support personnel to assist
the Lanier sales effort. Lanier will have the right to sub-license LanVision's
proprietary and third-party software in exchange for royalty payments. Royalty
terms for the relicensing of LanVision's systems are the same for large or small
hospitals. Lanier has the option to purchase hardware and professional services
from LanVision.

Both companies intend to pursue joint product integration and marketing
opportunities. One planned project will include the integration of LanVision's
document imaging and On-Line Chart Completion technologies with Lanier's
dictation, medical transcription, data repositories, and digital
copiers/printers. Lanier intends to market this integrated solution as DOCument
Imaging/ES to selected providers of healthcare information and clinical systems
in addition to healthcare enterprises.

In March 1997, LanVision entered into a marketing agreement with 3M Health
Information Systems to integrate OmniVision, LanVision's image-enabling software
application, with the 3M Healthcare Enterprise Management System, a computer
based patient record system. Under the terms of the agreement, 3M Health
Information Systems will receive a commission on LanVision products installed as
a result of qualified leads from 3M Health Information Systems.

Also, in March 1997, LanVision formed a cooperative marketing and professional
services agreement with Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP aimed at the healthcare
industry. In this agreement, Crowe Chizek will recommend LanVision technology in
imaging and workflow opportunities, while LanVision will recommend the services
of Crowe, Chizek in accounts payable opportunities. Crowe Chizek is the 10th
largest consulting and Certified Public Accounting firm in the United States.

In April 1997, LanVision formed a cooperating marketing agreement with Daou
Systems, Inc. ("Daou"), a leader in designing, planning, implementing and
managing computer networks used in the healthcare industry. Under the terms of
the agreement, LanVision and Daou will each promote customer awareness of the
benefits of each other's products. LanVision and Daou have each agreed to pay
the other party a commission on products installed as a result of qualified
leads from the other party.

LanVision intends to continue to expand alternative channels of distribution and
increase LanVision's support of these third-party distributors.

Throughout 1996, the Company experienced extended sales cycles which adversely
affected revenues. It is common for sales cycles to take from six to eighteen
months. The sales cycle consists of several steps, which include initial contact
and lead qualification, response to requests for proposals, analysis of business
requirements, site visits, preparation of final bid and agreement negotiations.
Members of the Company's product development, client services and client support
departments assist the Company's direct sales force in making presentations to,
and preparing comprehensive proposals for potential customers. To support the
Company's sales efforts, the Company conducts a variety of programs intended to
market and position its product line and services. These programs include trade
journal advertising, public relations activities and trade show participation.

Competition

The healthcare information access systems market historically has been dominated
by several companies. The industry is currently undergoing consolidation and
realignment as companies position themselves to compete more effectively.
Strategic alliances between vendors of healthcare information access systems and
vendors of other healthcare systems are increasing. Barriers to entry to this
market include technological and application sophistication, the ability to
offer a proven product, a well-established customer base and distribution
channels, brand recognition, the ability to operate on a variety of operating
systems and hardware platforms, the ability to integrate with pre-existing
systems and capital for sustained development and marketing activities. The
Company believes that these barriers together represent a moderate to high level
barrier to entry. Foreign competition has not been a significant factor in the
market to date.

The Company's competitors include healthcare information systems vendors which
are larger and more established and have substantially more resources than the
Company. In addition, information and document management companies serving
other industries may enter the healthcare information systems market. Suppliers
and companies with which LanVision may establish strategic alliances may also
compete with LanVision. Such companies and vendors may either individually, or
by forming alliances excluding LanVision, place bids for large agreements in
competition with LanVision. A decision on the part of any of these competitors
to focus additional resources in the image-enabling and other markets addressed
by LanVision could have a material adverse effect on LanVision.

LanVision believes that the principal competitive factors in its market are
customer recommendations and references, company reputation, system reliability,
system features (including ease of use), technological advancements, customer
service and support, the effectiveness of marketing and sales efforts, price and
company size. In addition, LanVision believes that the speed with which
companies in its market can anticipate the evolving healthcare industry
structure and identify unmet needs are important competitive factors. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the
future against existing or potential competitors.

Employees

As of March 31, 1997, LanVision had 101 full-time employees. None of the
Company's employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective
bargaining agreement. LanVision has never experienced a work stoppage and
believes that its employee relations are good.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company's principle administrative and sales offices are located at One
Financial Way, Suite 400, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242-5859. The offices consist of
approximately 23,000 square feet of space under a lease which expires in August,

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either
asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While
the outcome of these claims can not be predicted with certainty, management is

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's Common Stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market under the symbol LANV. The table below sets forth the high and low sales prices for LanVision Systems, Inc. Common Stock for each of the quarters indicated since the Company's initial public offering on April 18, 1996, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
High Low ---- --- 1st Quarter (April 18, 1996 through April 30, 1996) $ 18.75 $ 14.50 2nd Quarter (May 1, 1996 through July 31, 1996) 18.75 8.50 3rd Quarter (August 1, 1996 through October 31, 1996) 14.50 7.75 4th Quarter (November 1, 1996 through January 31, 1997) 9.00 6.25
The market price of the Company's Common Stock has fluctuated significantly since the initial public offering in April, 1996. The market price of the Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations based on factors such as announcements of new products or customers by the Company or its competitors, quarterly fluctuations in the Company's financial results or other competitors' financial results, changes in analysts' estimates of the Company's financial performance, general conditions in the healthcare imaging industry as well as conditions in the financial markets. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have particularly affected the market price of many high technology companies and which have been often unrelated to the operating performance of a specific company. Many technology companies, including the Company, have recently experienced wide fluctuations in the market price of their equity securities. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will not decline, or otherwise continue to experience significant fluctuations in the future. According to the transfer agent records, the Company has 106 stockholders of record as of April 21, 1997. Because many of such shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, the Company is unable to determine with complete accuracy the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders. The Company estimates that it has approximately 3,200 stockholders. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since its inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. 19 20 ITEM 6.

contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties agree as follows:

require.

5.       PRIOR EMPLOYMENT

         Employee shall devote Employee's full time and attention to the

substantial responsibility for any enterprise which would be inconsistent with
Employee's duty to devote Employee's full time and attention to Parent and
Company matters, provided that, the foregoing shall not prevent the Employee
from participating in any charitable or civic organization that does not
interfere with Employee's performance of the duties and responsibilities to be
performed by Employee under this Agreement.

7.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
         ------------------------

         Employee shall not, during the term of this Agreement or at any time

or any other operation or entity, or use the Confidential Information on
Employee's own behalf, for any reason or purpose. Employee further agrees that,
during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, Employee will not
distribute, or cause to be distributed, Confidential Information to any third
person or permit the reproduction of the Confidential Information, except on
behalf of Parent or the Company in Employee's capacity as an 

                                      30

acquired) which Parent or the Company deems confidential and proprietary which
is generally not known to others outside Parent or the Company and which gives
or tends to give Parent or the Company a competitive advantage over persons who
do not possess such information or the secrecy of which is otherwise of value to
Parent and/or the Company in the conduct of its business -- regardless of when
and by whom such information was developed or acquired, and regardless of
whether any of these are described in writing, reduced to practice,
copyrightable, or considered copyrightable, patentable or considered patentable.

industry information or information which is publicly available or is otherwise
in the public domain without breach of this Agreement, information which

regulation, or rule of any governmental body or authority or court order.
Employee acknowledges that the Confidential Information is novel, proprietary to
and of considerable value to Parent and the Company.

         Employee agrees that all restrictions contained in this Section 7 are
reasonable and valid under the circumstances and hereby waives all defenses to
the strict enforcement thereof by Parent and/or the Company.

         (C) For the purpose of this Agreement, Competitive Business shall mean

the date of termination.

10.      TERM
         -----

         Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the term of
this Agreement shall be for the time period beginning June 1, 1996 the date
hereof and continuing through May 31, 1999 (the "Term"). Neither Parent or the
Company nor the Employee shall have any obligation to the other to negotiate a
new period of employment subsequent to the end of the Term.

11.      TERMINATION
         -----------

         (A) DEATH  This Agreement and Employee's employment thereunder shall be
terminated on the death of Employee, effective as of the date of Employee's
death.

         (B) CONTINUED DISABILITY  This Agreement and Employee's employment
thereunder may be terminated, at the option of Parent upon a Continued
Disability of Employee, effective as of the date of the determination of
continued Disability as that term is hereinafter defined. For the purposes of
this Agreement, "Continued Disability" shall be defined as the inability or
incapacity (either mental or physical) of Employee to continue to perform 120
working days, or if, during any calendar year of the Term hereof because of
disability, Employee shall have been unable to perform Employee's duties
hereunder for a total period of 180 working days regardless of whether or not
such days are consecutive. The determination as to whether Employee is unable to
perform the essential functions of Employee's job shall be made by Parent's
Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that if
Employee is not satisfied with the decision of the Board, Employee will submit
to examination by three competent physicians who practice in the metropolitan
area in which the Employee then resides, one of whom shall be selected by
Parent, another of whom shall be selected by Employee, with the third to be
selected by the physicians so selected. The decision of a majority of the
physicians so selected shall supersede the decision of the Board and shall be
final and conclusive.

         (C) TERMINATION FOR GOOD CAUSE  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Parent may at any time immediately terminate this Agreement and
Employee's employment thereunder for Good Cause. For this purpose, "Good Cause"

                                      33
   6



following: the current use of illegal drugs; indictment for any crime
involving moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation; commission of any act
which would constitute a felony and which would adversely impact the business
or reputation of Parent or the Company; fraud; misappropriation or
embezzlement of Parent or Company funds or property; willful conduct which is
materially injurious to the reputation, business or business relationships of
Parent or the Company; or material violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement. Any alleged cause for termination shall be delivered in writing to
Employee stating the full basis for such cause along with any notice of such
termination.

         (D) TERMINATION WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE  Parent or the Company may terminate
Employee's employment prior to the Expiration Date at any time, whether or not
for Good Cause (as "Good Cause" is defined in Section 11 (C) above). In the
event Parent or the Company terminates Employee without cause, Parent or the
company will pay Employee a lump sum amount equal to three-quarters times the
Employee's annual salary and bonus at the time of termination. Such severance
payment shall be paid within 90 days following the date of Employee's
termination.

12.      CHANGE IN CONTROL;  ACCELARATED VESTING SHEDULES
         ------------------------------------------------

         In the event that, within twelve months of a change in control of
Parent, Employee's employment by Parent and the Company is terminated prior to
the end of the Term or Employee terminates his employment due to a material
reduction in his duties or compensation, (i) all stock options granted to
Employee shall immediately vest in full, and (ii) Parent or the Company will pay
Employee a lump sum amount equal to three-quarters times the Employee's annual
salary and bonus at the time of termination. For purposes of this Agreement,
"change in control" means any of the following events:

         (a)  A change in control of the direction and administration of
         Parent's business of a nature that would be required to be reported
         in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of regulation 14A
         promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the
         (the "1934 Act"), as in effect on the date hereof and any successor
         provision of the regulations under the 1934 Act, whether or not
         Parent is the subject to such reporting requirements; or

         (b)  Any "person" (as such term is used in Section 13 (d) and Section
         14 (d) (2) of the 1934 Act but excluding any employee benefit plan of
         Parent) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule
         13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
         Parent representing more than one half of the combined voting power
         of Parent's outstanding securities then entitled to vote for the
         election of directors; or

         (c)  Parent shall sell all or substantially all of the assets of
         Parent; or

         (d)  Parent shall participate in a merger, reorganization,
         consolidation or similar business combination that constitutes a
         change in control as defined in the 1996 LanVision

13.      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
         ----------------

         Parent, the Company and Employee each hereby acknowledge and agree as
follows:

         (A) The covenants, restrictions, agreements and obligations set forth
herein are founded upon valuable consideration, and, with respect to the
covenants, restrictions, agreements and obligations set forth in Sections 7, 8
and 9 hereof, are reasonable in duration and geographic scope.

         (B) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of any of
the covenants, restrictions, agreements and obligations set forth in Section 7,
8, and/or 9, monetary damages or the other remedies at law that may be available
to Parent and/or the Company for such breach or threatened breach will be
inadequate and, without prejudice to Parent's or the Company's right to pursue
any other remedies at law or in equity available to it for such breach or
threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from
Employee, Parent and/or the Company will be entitled to injunctive relief from a
court of competent jurisdiction; and

         (C) The time period and geographical area set forth in Section 9 hereof
are each divisible and separable, and, in the event that the covenants not to
compete contained therein are judicially held invalid or unenforceable as to
such time period and/or geographical area, they will be valid and enforceable in
such geographical area(s) and for such time period(s) which the court determines
to be reasonable and enforceable. The Employee agrees that in the event any
court of competent jurisdiction determines that the above covenants are invalid
or unenforceable to join with Parent and the Company in requesting that court to
construe the applicable provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be
enforceable to the extent compatible with the then applicable law. Furthermore,
any period of restriction or covenant herein stated shall not include any period
of violation or period of time required for litigation to enforce such
restriction or covenant.

                            SECOND LEASE AMENDMENT
                            ----------------------

           THIS SECOND LEASE AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") is executed this 25TH
day of February, 1997, by and between DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an
Indiana limited partnership ("Landlord"), and LANVISION, INC., an Ohio
corporation ("Tenant").

                             W I T N E S S E T H :
                             ---------------------

           WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into a certain Lease dated May
7, 1996, as amended July 12, 1996 (collectively, the "Lease"), whereby Tenant
leased from Landlord certain premises consisting of approximately 21,845
rentable square feet of space (the "Original Premises") located in Suite 400,
One Financial Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242; and

           WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to expand the Original Premises
by approximately 1,440 rentable square feet (the "Additional Space").
Collectively, the Original Premises and Additional Space shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "Leased Premises"; and

           WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend certain provisions of
the Lease to reflect such expansion, changes and additions to the Lease;

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the
mutual covenants herein contained and each act performed hereunder by the
parties, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Lease is amended as follows:

           1.     Amendment of Article 1.
                  -----------------------

                  (a) Commencing May 1, 1997, SECTION 1.01 of ARTICLE 1 of the
Lease is hereby amended by substituting SECOND AMENDED EXHIBIT A, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference, on which the Original Premises are
striped and the Additional Space is cross-hatched, in lieu of AMENDED EXHIBIT A
attached to the Lease.

                  (b) Commencing May 1, 1997, Subsections B, C, D, E and L of 
SECTION 1.02 of ARTICLE 1 of the Lease are hereby deleted and the following
subsections are substituted in lieu thereof:


                                      39
   2


      B.      Rentable Area: approximately 23,285 rentable square feet;

              Landlord shall use commercially reasonable standards,
              consistently applied, in determining the Rentable Area and
              the rentable area of the Building. The Rentable Area shall
              include the area within the Leased Premises plus a pro rata
              portion of the area covered by the Common Areas within the
              Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to
              time. Landlord's determination of Rentable Area made in good
              faith shall conclusively be deemed correct for all purposes
              hereunder, including without limitation the calculation of
              the Building Expense Percentage and the Minimum Annual Rent.
              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
              Tenant's pro rata portion of the area covered by the Common
              Areas within the Building shall be the product of (i) the
              Useable Area within the Leased Premises, as such amount may
              change from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease
              and (ii) Tenant's Common Area Factor. For purposes of this
              Lease, Tenant's Common Area Factor shall be as reasonably
              determined by the Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant's
              Common Area Factor shall not exceed 1.135.

        C.    Building Expense Percentage:  11.0% (23,285 / 212,125);

        D.    Minimum Annual Rent:

              May 1, 1997 - August 31, 1997               $104,782.12 (4 months)
              September 1, 1997 - September 13, 1997      $ 11,351.47 (13 days)
              September 14, 1997 - September 13, 1998     $314,347.56 per year
              September 14, 1998 - September 13, 1999     $314,347.56 per year
              September 14, 1999 - September 13, 2000     $320,168.76 per year
              September 14, 2000 - September 13, 2001     $320,168.76 per year;

        E. Monthly Rental Installments:

              May 1, 1997 - August 31, 1997               $ 26,195.63 per month
              September 1, 1997 - September 13, 1997      $ 11,351.47 (13 days)
              September 14, 1997 - September 13, 1999     $ 26,195.63 per month
              September 14, 1999 - September 13, 2001     $ 26,680.73 per month;

         2.   AMENDMENT OF SECTION 2.02. The following shall be added to the end
of SECTION 2.02 of the Lease:

                  "Landlord agrees to perform and complete the work on the
         tenant finish improvements in the Additional Space as set out in
         AMENDED EXHIBIT B and shall give Tenant written notice of the day on
         which Landlord expects to complete such work. Landlord shall provide an
         allowance for the direct costs of the tenant finish improvements for
         the Additional Space in the amount of Fourteen Dollars and Ninety-four
         Cents ($14.94) per rentable square foot of the Additional Space
         ("Additional Allowance"). The Additional Allowance was determined by
         multiplying Sixteen Dollars and Seventy-six Cents ($16.76) (the tenant
         finish improvement allowance for the Original Premises) by a fraction
         the numerator of which is equal to the number of months remaining in
         the term of the Lease after May 1, 1997 (53.5 months) and the
         denominator of which is the total number of months in the term of the
         Lease (60). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs of the tenant
         finish improvements for the Additional Space in excess of Additional
         Allowance provided by Landlord within thirty (30) days of an invoice
         from Landlord.

                  Upon completion of the work in the Additional Space, Tenant
         shall execute a letter of understanding as referred to in SECTION 2.03
         of the Lease."

         3.   TENANT'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The undersigned
represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) Tenant is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing in accordance with the laws of the state under
which it was organized; (ii) all action necessary to authorize the execution
of this Amendment has been taken by Tenant; and (iii) the individual executing
and delivering this Amendment on behalf of Tenant has been authorized to do
so, and such execution and delivery shall bind Tenant. Tenant, at Landlord's
request, shall provide Landlord with evidence of such authority.

         4.   EXAMINATION OF AMENDMENT. Submission of this instrument for
examination or signature to Tenant does not constitute a reservation or
option, and it is not effective until execution by and delivery to both
Landlord and Tenant.

         5.   DEFINITIONS. Except as otherwise provided herein, the capitalized
terms used in this Amendment shall have the definitions set forth in the
Lease.



                                      41

         6.   INCORPORATION. This Amendment shall be incorporated into and made
a part of the Lease, and all provisions of the Lease not expressly modified or
amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect.

           IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be
executed on the day and year first written above.

                                            LANDLORD:

SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Lessee's execution hereof, Lessee has deposited with Lessor the sum of SIX THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY Dollars ($6,250.00), the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, as security for the payment by Lessee of the rent or other charges to be paid and for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease.

Lessee specifically agrees to look solely to Lessor's interest in the Real Property and the Building for the recovery of any judgment from Lessor, it being agreed that neither Lessor nor any of its partners shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Lessor or Lessor's successors in interest, or any other action not involving the personal liability of Lessor. XXVII. HOLDING OVER. In the event of holding over by Lessee after expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee shall pay one hundred fifty percent (150%) the Rent (calculated on the basis of Rent with respect to the month immediately preceding the month in which expiration or termination occurs) for the entire holdover period. No holding over by Lessee after the term of this Lease shall be construed to extend the term of this Lease. In the event of any unauthorized holding over, Lessee shall also indemnify Lessor against all claims for damages by any other tenant to whom Lessor may have leased all or any part of the Demised Premises covered hereby 56 13 effective upon the termination of this Lease. Any holding over with the consent of Lessor in writing shall thereafter constitute this Lease a lease from month to month. XXVIII. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

This Right of First Refusal may only be exercised on the ENTIRE approximate 3,000 square feet of space marked on Exhibit C. At such time if and when said right of first refusal is exercised, the Demised Premises shall be defined in Section I of the Lease as 13,000 square feet of space. XXIX. MISCELLANEOUS. A. If Lessor shall fail to pay any installment of Rent within five (5) days after the date the same becomes due and payable, then Lessee shall also pay to Lessor a late payment service charge of five percent (5%) of the payment so overdue, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other remedy or right of Lessor herein. B. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Company began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on April 18, 1996, the date of the initial public offering. The Company has not paid a dividend on its Common Stock since its inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Corporate Profile - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In today's dynamic healthcare environment, hospitals and integrated delivery systems are continually struggling to increase the quality and level of care while reducing their overall costs. However, many healthcare executives claim that the lack of ready access to health information by those who need it remains the foremost hurdle to achieving these goals. LanVision was founded in 1989 with the sole purpose of helping hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery systems solve their information access and document management problems through advanced document imaging and workflow technologies. LanVision is now a leading provider of healthcare information access systems that enable hospitals and integrated healthcare networks to capture, manage, store and access vast amounts of clinical and financial patient information across the enterprise. Unlike other systems that have limited usage at the point of patient care, LanVision's systems are used intensively by a larger number and variety of users than any other systems available today. As a result, LanVision's clients, some of the largest and most respected healthcare provider systems in the country, are able to manage and deliver information more effectively than their competitors. LanVision has established itself as a national leader in information systems integration. LanVision's professional staff members are committed to quality and have the necessary strategic and technical expertise to develop and deliver the information systems that today's healthcare providers need. 66 3 PAGE 2 LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Stockholder: I am pleased to present our first Annual Report as a public company. During 1996, we completed our initial public offering, through the issuance of 2,912,500 shares of common stock with net proceeds of approximately $34 million. This capital gives us the necessary resources to enable LanVision to become a market leader in providing document imaging and workflow applications to the healthcare industry. For the year ended January 31, 1997 (fiscal 1996), LanVision's annual revenues were approximately $10 million, a 105% increase over fiscal 1995. During the year, we significantly expanded our staff from 28 at January 31, 1996, to 94 at January 31, 1997. This expansion, in all areas of operations, was planned to ensure LanVision captures a leading share of our market. We estimate the healthcare document imaging and workflow market is only 5% to 10% penetrated, and industry analysts expect the electronic medical record market to grow at a 40% to 70% compound growth rate over the next five years. Notwithstanding our expansion and the market growth potential, healthcare providers responded more slowly than we expected in 1996, and sales cycles have been longer than planned. This has adversely affected our revenues, which were 64% of our fiscal 1996 internal plan. Hospitals and medical facilities have been cautious as they attempt to understand all the new technological tools at their disposal, differentiate among the available solutions and prioritize their needs. We believe the market demand is starting to accelerate as hospitals and integrated delivery networks begin to better appreciate the significant cost savings that can be achieved with LanVision's document imaging and workflow applications. Fiscal 1996 was a year of tremendous investment by LanVision in people, marketing, training, equipment and facilities. The combination of our shortfall in anticipated revenues and the expansion of our organization resulted in a fiscal 1996 net loss of approximately $4.7 million. Although the loss was significant, management believes the investment made in 1996 will yield important long term benefits, creating a firm foundation to take advantage of projected market demand. In late 1996 and the first half of 1997, LanVision has and will introduce more software products than at any other time in LanVision's history. In 1996, our On-Line Chart Completion product was installed in two beta sites, and general release is expected in the first half of 1997. Existing and prospective customers are extremely excited about this product and its cost savings potential. In 1996, LanVision also released MultiView, an advanced viewer that allows users to easily access electronic and image-based healthcare information longitudinally across all document types or patient encounters contained in the patient's lifetime medical record. It has also received excellent reviews. In the first half of 1997, LanVision will release OmniVision, a 32 bit image and workflow-enabling application that allows users of third-party information systems to seamlessly access document images and other multimedia information. Historically, clinicians and administrative staff have not had access to this data through their existing systems, and accordingly, have not had complete electronic access to all the information contained in the patient's medical record. We believe that hospitals and clinics using OmniVision will rapidly expand the use of our other document imaging and workflow products. Currently, 67 4 we are image-enabling the 3M Healthcare Enterprise Management System, Oacis, PHAMIS, MasterChart and AutoCyte clinical information systems. We will also release Correspondence, a ChartVision module that allows medical facilities to quickly access electronically stored documents and distribute them to third parties. Also in 1997, we intend to release AccountVision version 2.0, our patient accounting product. This enhanced product will share a common database with our flagship medical record product, ChartVision, and provide major cost saving benefits to our customers. In the second half of 1997, we will offer WebView, our Internet viewer that will significantly expand the accessibility of medical records via the Internet. The quality of our products and the strength of our organization is attracting some of the strongest strategic marketing partners in the healthcare industry including: Lanier Healthcare Systems; 3M Health Information Systems; Daou Systems, Inc.; and Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP. Most recently, LanVision and Lanier Healthcare Systems have concluded an agreement in principle for an important three year extension to our relationship. Under the new enhanced relationship, both companies will be investing significant resources in the distribution of LanVision products through the extensive Lanier sales organization. Our relationships are built upon mutual trust and respect, and LanVision intends to further expand its third-party distribution channels both domestically and internationally. We are building a first class sales and marketing organization. This group has grown from 8 at January 31, 1996, to 30 at January 31, 1997. The sales and marketing group has overcome a steep learning curve in 1996, and we expect to see the benefits in 1997. Throughout 1996, we ran a series of customer testimonial ads in key healthcare publications, participated in leading industry trade shows, and implemented a telemarketing program. Our public profile, new partners, advertising, trade show participation and telemarketing have expanded our presence tremendously in the market. During 1996, Stanford Health Services, affiliated with Stanford University, purchased our OmniVision product to image-enable their Oacis clinical data repository across their healthcare enterprise. In addition, new agreements were signed with The Toledo Hospital and Flower Hospital of Toledo, Ohio, which are part of the ProMedica Health System, and through Lanier, we added St. Francis Medical Center of Hartford, Connecticut. We are pleased to have them join the most prestigious customer base in the industry. We are grateful to each of our customers and their employees for their trust and confidence in LanVision. We intend to make each of them very successful in and through the use of our systems, and their success should bring us future success. LanVision has been through a significant transition in 1996, and we have experienced some growing pains trying to assimilate our many new employees. However, we have accomplished very much in a short period of time. We are confident that we have invested wisely in the talent and technology necessary to achieve revenue growth in the future. We will continue to expand distribution, support and development, in 1997, at a pace commensurate with market growth opportunities. We are thankful for your confidence, and look forward to a successful 1997. Sincerely, /s/ J. Brian Patsy J. Brian Patsy President and Chief Executive Officer 68 5 PAGE 3 "Our physicians, clinicians and HIM department clients now have better access to health information with improved security . . . "We are eliminating our paper files and greatly reducing our microfiche costs." DIRECTOR OF QUALITY AND HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ALBERT EINSTEIN HEALTHCARE NETWORK PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA CHARTVISION HIGHLY EVOLVED ELECTRONIC PATIENT RECORD APPLICATION. The ChartVision application provides physicians, clinicians and health information management professionals throughout the healthcare enterprise with immediate and simultaneous access to the complete patient record. ChartVision is a highly-evolved electronic patient record application that provides streamlined processing and fast easy access to all forms of health information regardless of the source. Unlike some systems that are cumbersome and complex, ChartVision is so easy to use that physicians and clinicians actually prefer it over paper. ChartVision includes the following modules: Medical Records Services Offers automated health information access to the patient medical record, without regard to the medium used to capture or record the information. On-Line Chart Completion Automates the identification of deficiencies in patient charts and also electronically routes the incomplete documents to the appropriate medical and administrative personnel for on-line processing, completion, electronic signature and reporting. Correspondence Scheduled for release in the first half of 1997. Will fulfill internal and external requests for information and also provide the ability to electronically search, print, mail, e-mail or fax information, as well as invoice third-party requesters. VisionFlow Offers intelligent electronic routing of documents as well as sophisticated management tools and reporting to support business process reengineering efforts. PAGE 4 ACCOUNTVISION PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES APPLICATION. The AccountVision application helps hospitals and integrated delivery networks streamline their business services operations by tracking patients from pre-admission and registration through account follow-up and final payment. As a result, cash flow is greatly improved. The system helps organizations actively manage work in process by monitoring staff workload, reassigning work to avoid backlogs, and focusing work on appropriate revenue-producing tasks. AccountVision helps to increase productivity by automatically routing job-specific documents based on user-defined parameters. The system helps organizations improve communication by providing immediate and simultaneous access to documents as well as Healthcare Information Systems, promoting prompt response to patient and third-party inquiries. 69 6 Like ChartVision, AccountVision will utilize the Correspondence and VisionFlow modules. OMNIVISION AN IMAGE-ENABLING AND WORKFLOW TECHNOLOGY. Scheduled for release in the first half of 1997, the OmniVision application will provide physicians and clinicians with immediate, simultaneous access to any patient information - including multimedia and paper-based information -- through their existing applications, such as the host Healthcare Information Systems, computerized patient records, clinical data repositories, human resources, materials management, and others. OmniVision will deliver unstructured data and workflow automation to third-party applications while creating a complete historical repository. As a result, OmniVision will allow hospitals and integrated delivery systems to consolidate all health information, whether text, document and medical images, sound, or video into one easily accessible repository. This will provide a tremendous advantage to healthcare organizations that currently rely on manual processes or multiple non-integrated applications to access the complete patient record. WEBVIEW ENTERPRISE-WIDE INTERNET ACCESS. LanVision is developing this product to allow hospitals and integrated delivery networks to take advantage of the World Wide Web, the lowest cost network infrastructure available today, for truly enterprise-wide access. Regardless of where they are located, healthcare users will be able to immediately and simultaneously access any healthcare information across the Internet with encrypted security and audit trail. "My colleagues and I have found that the medical record information we need is very accessible and the system is easy to use and learn . . . "I taught myself to use the system in just a few minutes." EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PHYSICIAN ST. ALEXIUS MEDICAL CENTER BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA 70 7 PAGE 5 LanVision Exhibit Booth [Photo of Trade Show Exhibition] Over the last year, LanVision has increased its visibility in the healthcare market significantly. Among other things, LanVision has invested in such efforts as a comprehensive testimonial ad campaign, a targeted direct marketing program combining telemarketing and direct mail, as well as an increased presence in leading industry trade shows and conferences. 71 8 PAGE 6 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In addition to historical information, this Annual Report of LanVision Systems, Inc. contains certain forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed herein and as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's future development efforts involve a high degree of risk, and the Company cautions investors that there can be no assurance that actual results or business conditions will not differ materially from those projected or suggested in such forward-looking statements. 72 9 PAGE 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW LanVision is a leading provider of healthcare information access systems that enable hospitals and integrated healthcare networks to capture, manage, store, retrieve and process vast amounts of clinical and financial patient information. The Company's systems deliver on-line enterprise-wide 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. LanVision's systems, which incorporate data management, document imaging 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. The systems are specifically designed to meet the needs of physicians and other medical and administrative personnel and can accommodate multiple users requiring simultaneous access to patient information, thereby eliminating file contention. By providing access to all forms of patient information, the Company believes that its healthcare information access systems are essential components of the computer-based patient record. The Company's revenues are derived from the licensing and sale of systems comprising LanVision and third-party software and hardware components, and from professional services, maintenance and support services. These services include implementation and training, project management and 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, although the margins on these 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. The highest margin is on proprietary LanVision software and the lowest margin is on third-party hardware. Systems sales to any given customer may include differing configurations of software and hardware, resulting in varying margins among contracts. Sales are made by the Company's direct sales force, which was increased substantially during 1996, and through healthcare information systems distribution partners. During 1996, the Company was working with one major distribution partner, Lanier Healthcare Systems. However, the Company has entered into additional agreements in 1997 and expects both the number of partners and the resulting revenues to increase in the future. 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, the Company experienced extended sales cycles which adversely affected revenues. 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. These agreements cover the entire implementation of the system and specify the implementation schedule, which typically takes place in one or more 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 usually sold outright, with a one-time fee charged for installation and training. Site-specific customization, interfaces with existing customer systems and other consulting services are sold on a fixed fee or a time and materials basis. Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when a purchase agreement is signed and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine installation and integration and other insignificant obligations is 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 73 10 method or revenue related to the delivered hardware and software components is deferred until such obligations are deemed insignificant, depending on the contractual terms. Revenue from consulting, training and services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from short-term support and maintenance agreements is 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. PAGE 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for each fiscal year indicated, certain operating data as a percentage of total revenues, the cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems sales and the cost of service, maintenance and support as a percentage of revenues from service, maintenance and support.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS(1) Fiscal Year(2) ---------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Systems sales 65.5% 66.9% 66.8% Service, maintenance and support 34.5 33.1 33.2 ----------- ---------- ----------- Total revenues 100.0 100.0 100.0 Cost of sales 78.0 64.8 77.5 Selling, general and administrative 64.5 29.5 25.8 Product research and development 15.3 11.8 25.5 ----------- ---------- ----------- Total operating expenses 157.8 106.1 128.8 ----------- ---------- ----------- Operating (loss) (57.8) (6.1) (28.8) Other income (expense), net 12.5 (0.5) (0.1) ----------- ---------- ----------- (Loss) before income taxes (45.3) (6.6) (28.9) Income tax expense (benefit) - (0.1) (5.2) ----------- --------- ----------- Net (loss) (45.3)% (6.5)% (23.7)% =========== ========== =========== Cost of systems sales 61.8% 55.9% 71.0% =========== ========== =========== Cost of service, maintenance and support 108.9% 82.8% 90.4% =========== ========== =========== (1) Because a significant percentage of the Company's operating costs are expensed as incurred, a variation in the timing of systems sales and installations and the resulting revenue recognition can cause significant variations in operating results. 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. The data in the table is presented solely for the purpose of reflecting the relationship of various operating elements to revenues for the periods indicated. (2) All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year of the Company commencing on February 1 of that calendar year and ending on January 31 of the following year.
PAGE 9 COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1996 WITH 1995 REVENUES. Total revenues in fiscal year 1996 were $10,310,052 compared with revenues of $5,018,521 in fiscal year 1995, an increase of $5,291,531, or 105%. Revenues from systems sales in fiscal 1996 were $6,756,226, an increase of $3,399,066, or 101%, over systems sales in fiscal 1995. The increase in systems sales is primarily 74 11 attributable to expansion of systems at customers existing prior to January 31, 1996, and two new customers. Revenues from service, maintenance and support in fiscal 1996 were $3,553,826, an increase of $1,892,465, or 114%, over fiscal 1995. Maintenance revenues in fiscal 1996 were $1,185,665, an increase of $279,304, or 31%, over maintenance revenues in fiscal 1995. The increase in maintenance revenues in fiscal 1996 is primarily due to billings on prior installations subsequent to the warranty period. Professional services revenue in fiscal 1996 was $2,368,161, an increase of $1,613,161, or 214%, over the professional services revenue in fiscal 1995. Substantially all of the increase came from the Company's fiscal 1995 client base as previously signed agreements were implemented in fiscal 1996. The two new agreements signed in fiscal 1996, contributed $1,423,652, or 27%, of the increase in total revenues in fiscal 1996, as they were signed and implementation began in the last half of the year; the remaining 73% of the increase came from implementation of original phases, or expansion of systems at existing clients. In fiscal 1996, three customers accounted for 49% of the Company's total revenues. In fiscal 1995, three customers accounted for 70% of the Company's total revenues. COST OF SALES. Cost of sales consists of cost of systems sales and cost of service, maintenance and support. Cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software costs, royalties and the cost of third-party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems sales will vary from period to period depending on the hardware and software configuration of the systems sold. Cost of service, maintenance and support includes salaries and benefits for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third-party maintenance contracts. The cost of systems sales increased to 61.8% from 55.9% compared with the prior fiscal year due to the mix of fewer new customers with traditionally higher software revenues, at higher margins, and the increase in add-on hardware sales to existing customers at lower margins. The cost of service, maintenance and support increased to 108.9% from 82.8%, as the Company increased the support and professional services staff in anticipation of expanded revenue from new customers. The Company's shortfall in obtaining new customers contributed to higher professional service costs as a percentage of revenues because the staff was unable to be fully utilized on billable projects, resulting in more non-billable professional service hours. In addition, the professional services staff was used on various internal consulting projects and performed several special projects for customers on a complimentary basis or at discounted rates. The new professional services staff required training and product orientation, leaving less time available for billable hours. Anticipated future increases in service, maintenance and support revenues are not expected to require a proportionate increase in expenses. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, traveling and living expenses and expenses such as advertising, trade shows, brochures, etc. for selling and marketing activities. In fiscal 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,647,470 compared with $1,477,401 in fiscal 1995. The increase in fiscal 1996 is primarily attributable to: the increase in sales and marketing personnel from eight to thirty; an increase in marketing and sales activities including advertising, trade shows, telemarketing, brochures, etc.; and the increase in personnel from five to twenty-one in the finance, management information systems, quality assurance and administrative departments, necessary to support the expanded, and future anticipated expansion of revenues. In addition, the increase in personnel required increased office space and the related facility costs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company expensed $250,000 related to the termination of a West Coast agent. This market is now being covered by the Company's direct sales force and its third-party distributors. The Company intends to continue to expand its direct sales operations especially in geographic areas in which the Company is currently not present and increase the pre-sales support of its reseller partners. However, the expansion will be at a slower pace than in 1996 and will be monitored along with the Company's assessment of market growth opportunities. PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Product research and development expenses in fiscal 1996 were $1,580,089, compared with $594,037 in fiscal 1995. The fiscal 1996 increase is primarily attributable to: increased research and development staffing from five to seventeen; increased use of outside contractors; and associated increased overhead costs, as expanded efforts were undertaken to develop new products and enhancements to existing products. The Company intends to continue to accelerate product research and development in 1997. The Company capitalized $170,000 and $123,307 in product research and development costs in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. 75 12 OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income in fiscal 1996 consisted of interest on investment securities, net of interest expense on indebtedness outstanding prior to the Company's initial public offering. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company is in a tax loss carryforward position, and is unable to recognize a tax benefit for losses because the realization of a tax benefit for such losses is not assured. Tax loss carryforward approximates $6,400,000. NET LOSS. The Company's net loss in fiscal 1996 was $4,668,540, compared with a net loss in fiscal 1995 of $326,229. Fiscal 1996 net loss per share was $.56, compared with a net loss per share in fiscal 1995 of $.05. Since commencing operations in 1989, the Company has, from time to time, incurred operating losses. Although the Company achieved profitability in fiscal years 1992 and 1993, the Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1996. Based upon the expenses associated with current and planned staffing levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing revenues. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve consistent profitability on a quarterly or annual basis nor be able to sustain or increase its revenue growth in future periods. Management believes historical operating results are not indicative of the future performance of the Company in the long-term. At January 31, 1997, the Company has master agreements, which if fully performed, would generate future revenues of approximately $6,600,000. The products and services related to these agreements are expected to be delivered over the next two to three years. However, because implementations are dependent upon the customer's schedule, the Company is unable to predict accurately the amount of revenues in future periods. PAGE 10 COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1995 WITH 1994 REVENUES. Total revenues in fiscal year 1995 were $5,018,521, an increase of $2,606,722, or 108%, over total revenues in fiscal year 1994. Revenues from systems sales in fiscal 1995 were $3,357,160, an increase of $1,746,475, or 108%, over systems sales in fiscal 1994. The increase in systems sales is primarily attributable to four new customers and expansion of systems at existing installations. Revenues from service, maintenance and support in fiscal 1995 were $1,661,361, an increase of $860,247, or 107%, over fiscal 1994. Maintenance revenues in fiscal 1995 were $906,361, an increase of $313,361, or 53%, over maintenance revenues in fiscal 1994. The increase in maintenance revenues in fiscal 1995 is primarily due to revenue on installations made during fiscal 1994. Professional services revenues in fiscal 1995 were $755,000, an increase of $547,000, or 163%, over the professional services revenues in fiscal 1994. Approximately $363,000 of the increase in professional services revenues related to four new customers in fiscal 1995, and the remaining increase of $184,000 is due to an increase in services to customers obtained in and prior to fiscal 1994. To date, demand for professional services has been more intensive during the early stages of each phase of system implementation and begins to decline as users become more familiar with the systems. In fiscal 1995, three customers accounted for 70% of the Company's total revenues. In fiscal 1994, two of these customers and one other customer accounted for 91% of the Company's total revenues. Revenues in fiscal 1994 were adversely affected by reduced marketing efforts while the Company was creating a new version of ChartVision and by the debate over healthcare reform. COST OF SALES. Cost of sales consists of cost of systems sales and cost of service, maintenance and support. Cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software costs, royalties and the cost of third-party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of systems sales will vary from period to period depending on the hardware and software configuration of the systems sold. Cost of service, maintenance and support includes salaries and benefits for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third-party maintenance contracts. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of salaries, commissions and benefits related to the Company's sales, marketing and administrative personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 were $1,477,401, an increase of $854,746, or 137%, over fiscal 76 13 1994. This increase is primarily attributable to an average increase in personnel of five people, increased marketing activity and increased commissions and bonuses based upon revenues. PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Product research and development expenditures consisted primarily of salaries and related personnel benefits and the allocable portion of overhead costs. Product research and development expenditures were relatively consistent between fiscal years 1995 and 1994. The majority of product research and development expenses in fiscal year 1995 relate to the continued development of ChartVision 3.0 and On-Line Chart Completion. The Company capitalized $123,307 and $12,934 of product research and development costs in 1995 and 1994, respectively. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. In fiscal year 1994, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $125,833, representing the extent to which it could utilize or receive a benefit for such losses. In fiscal 1995, no tax benefit has been provided because realization of a tax benefit for such losses is not assured. NET LOSS. Net operating results in fiscal 1995 improved by $245,831 compared with fiscal 1994. The Company's net loss in fiscal 1995 was $326,229, compared with a $572,060 loss in fiscal 1994. Net loss per share for fiscal 1995 was $.05, compared with a $.09 loss per share in fiscal 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception in 1989, LanVision has funded its operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash generated by revenues from operations, borrowings, a private placement of convertible redeemable preferred stock and an initial public offering which raised approximately $34,000,000, net of the underwriting discount and expenses, through the issuance of 2,912,500 shares of common stock on April 18, 1996. 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. Agreements with customers often involve significant amounts, and contract terms typically require customers to make progress payments. In fiscal 1996, progress billings to customers have increased as system implementation has increased. Progress billings recorded prior to the recognition of revenue have been classified as deferred revenues. At January 31, 1997, accounts and unbilled receivables were $1,179,137 greater than accounts and unbilled receivables at January 31, 1996. This increase is primarily due to increased revenues. The Company has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of $2,227,876, payable over the next five years. However, the Company plans to continue to increase its staff during fiscal 1997 to meet anticipated growth, which will require additional office space, furniture and equipment, the total cost of which has not yet been determined. At January 31, 1997, the Company had cash and investments of $26,591,772. Investments consist primarily of U.S. Government obligations with maturities ranging from one month to three years. In March, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management, at its discretion, to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock of up to $1,000,000 in value on the open market. The Company believes that the existing cash balances and investment securities and revenue from operations, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity and capital spending requirements for the foreseeable future. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or income. 77 14 PAGE 11 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LanVision Systems, Inc. is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of its published financial statements.

81 18 PAGE 15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES LanVision Systems, Inc. (the "Company") is a provider of healthcare information access systems that enable hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery systems in the United States to capture, manage, store, retrieve and process vast amounts of clinical and financial patient information. FISCAL YEAR All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year of the Company commencing February 1 in that calendar year and ending on January 31 of the following year. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LanVision Systems, Inc. and its Subsidiary, LanVision, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is derived from the licensing and sale of systems comprising internally developed software, third-party software and hardware. The Company complements its products by offering support, maintenance and professional services. The Company's revenue recognition policies conform to Statement of Position 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition. Generally, revenue from software license fees and hardware sales is recognized when a purchase agreement is signed pursuant to a master agreement and products are shipped. Revenue related to routine installation and integration and other insignificant obligations is deferred until the work is performed. If a contract 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 deemed insignificant, depending on the contractual terms. Revenue from consulting, education and services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from short-term support and maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, overnight repurchase agreements, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. For purpose of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 82 19 INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company accounts for its investment securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The Company's investment securities are classified under Statement No. 115 as "available-for-sale," and accordingly, are carried at fair market value. Unrealized net gains are included as a component of stockholders' equity, net of income taxes, until realized. Interest earned is included in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. CONCENTRATIONS Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk, consist primarily of investment securities and accounts receivable. The Company's investment securities consist primarily of U.S. Government obligations. The Company's accounts receivable are concentrated in the healthcare industry. However, the credit risk is limited due to the geographic dispersion and number of customers. PAGE 16 To date, the Company has relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of its total revenues. The Company expects that a significant portion of its future revenues will continue to be generated by a limited number of customers. The failure to obtain new customers, the loss of existing customers or reduction in revenues from existing customers could materially adversely affect the Company's operating results (see Note 9). The Company currently buys all of its hardware and some major software components of its healthcare information access systems from third-party vendors. Although there are a limited number of vendors capable of supplying these components, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar components on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in system implementations and a possible loss of revenues, which would adversely affect operating results. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS Other current assets at January 31, 1997 are primarily prepaid insurance, and prepaid expenses related to future revenues. At January 31, 1996, other current assets consisted primarily of costs related to the initial public offering which were offset against the proceeds from the stock offering. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line, half year convention method, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Computer equipment and software 3 years Office equipment 5 years Office furniture and fixtures 7 years Leasehold improvements Life of lease Depreciation expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $373,452, $92,479 and $90,375, respectively. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development, including coding and testing activities necessary to establish technological feasibility are classified as product research and development and are expensed as incurred. 83 20 Once technological feasibility has been determined, additional costs incurred in development, including coding, testing and product quality assurance, are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The Company capitalized $170,000, $123,307 and $12,934 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Research and development expense was $1,580,089, $594,037 and $614,167 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis over the estimated economic life of the software, not to exceed three years, using the straight-line method. Amortization commences when a product is available for general release to customers. Unamortized capitalized costs determined to be in excess of the net realizable value of a product are expensed at the date of such determination. Amortization expense was $78,000, $60,218 and $125,636 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. ACCRUED OTHER EXPENSES Accrued other expenses at January 31, 1997 includes: a warranty reserve of $164,000; an accrued termination fee to an agent of $250,000; and accrued royalties, franchise taxes and professional fees. INCOME TAXES The provisions for income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. PAGE 17 STOCK OPTIONS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, was issued in October, 1995, and is effective for fiscal year 1996. The Statement establishes a fair value method of financial accounting and reporting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock options under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and, accordingly, has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement 123. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents recognize the potential dilutive effects of the conversion of the convertible redeemable preferred stock to common stock and outstanding options to acquire common stock. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 83, the weighted average number of shares used in the computation of the net loss per common share for fiscal years 1995 and 1994, was calculated assuming all common share equivalents issued at prices below the initial public offering price, during a one year period before the filing of the initial public offering, were outstanding, even though the effect was antidilutive. Also, the computation of common and common equivalent shares includes the 1,496,000 shares of common stock issued upon the automatic conversion of the convertible redeemable preferred stock. Accordingly, the weighted average shares outstanding for fiscal years 1995 and 1994 is calculated at 6,190,325 shares. 84 21 The loss per common share calculation, in fiscal 1996, excludes the effect of the common share equivalents as the inclusion thereof would be antidilutive. 2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investment securities at January 31, 1997 include the following:
Market Cost Unrealized Value Basis Net Gains -------------- --------------- --------------- Money Market Funds $ 554,202 $ 554,202 $ - U.S. Treasury Securities 25,373,347 25,292,741 80,606 ============== =============== =============== Total investment securities $ 25,927,549 $ 25,846,943 $ 80,606 ============== =============== ===============
The fair values of investment securities are based on the quoted market prices at the reporting date for those investments. The estimated fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity at January 31, 1997 is as follows: $16,407,270 in 1997, $6,708,466 in 1998, and $2,811,813 in 1999. 3. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT COMMITMENT During 1996, 1995, and 1994, the Company maintained a revolving line of credit with a bank. The outstanding loans under the agreement bore interest at the bank's prime rate of interest plus 3/4%. On February 6, 1996, the Company entered into a new revolving loan with an initial loan facility of $1,400,000. Beginning in July, 1996, the maximum amount available under the loan facility was reduced by $100,000 per month until the line of credit expired on February 9, 1997. The loan was secured by all business assets of the Company including account and contract receivables, inventory, equipment, furniture, fixtures and general intangibles. The loan contained the joint and several guaranties of the two largest stockholders of the Company. Advances under the line of credit were limited to 75% of accounts receivable due less than 90 days from invoice. 4. DEFERRED COMPENSATION The Company had a deferred compensation plan that provided for additional compensation to key employees based on the performance of the Company. The Company accrued $48,000 at January 31, 1996 for this liability. In February, 1996, a stock option was granted to an employee to purchase 137,937 common shares at $10.40 per share. Simultaneous with the granting of this option, the Company's liability under this deferred compensation plan was canceled and the deferred compensation plan was canceled. 5. OPERATING LEASES The Company rents office space and equipment under noncancelable operating leases which expire in 2001. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases for the next five fiscal years are as follows: 1997: $524,261; 1998: $520,860; 1999: $485,546; 2000: $444,073; 2001: $253,136. Rent expense was $252,383, $60,441 and $39,890 for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 85 22 PAGE 18 6. INCOME TAXES The expense (benefit) for income taxes is as follows:

At the end of fiscal 1996, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $6,400,000 which begins to expire in 2009. 86 23 PAGE 19 7. CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK In December, 1994, the Company sold 8,500 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $850,000. The shares were converted into 1,496,000 shares of common stock immediately prior to the initial public offering. 8. RETIREMENT PLAN The Company has established a 401(k) retirement plan which covers substantially all employees. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. No Company contributions have been made to the plan. 9. MAJOR CUSTOMERS During fiscal 1996, three customers accounted for 21%, 17% and 11% of total revenues. During fiscal 1995, three customers accounted for 35%, 19% and 16% of total revenues. During fiscal year 1994, three customers accounted for 37%, 35% and 19% of total revenues. At January 31, 1997, 47% of the Company's accounts receivables are due from three customers. 10. STOCK OPTIONS The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, in accounting for its stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value method of accounting provided for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing stock options. Accordingly, the Company adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement 123. All of the Company's stock options have been issued with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Accordingly, under Opinion 25, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company's Employee Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of options to employees for up to 825,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The options granted have terms of ten years or less and generally vest and become fully exercisable ratably over three years of continuous employment from the date of grant, except with respect to 71,775 options which were granted in fiscal 1995, and became fully vested and exercisable on December 1, 1996. At January 31, 1997, options to purchase 521,050 shares of the Company's common stock have been granted under the Plan. The Company's Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of options for up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All options granted have terms of ten years or less and vest and become fully exercisable ratably over four years of continuous service as a Director from the date of grant. Options for 5,000 shares have been granted under this plan to one Director, none of which are excercisable or vested. In addition, non-qualified stock options to purchase 5,000 shares were granted to the same Director and vest ratably over two years. The Company also issued non-qualified stock options to purchase 119,823 shares of the Company's common stock to two employees prior to the initial public offering of the Company's common stock. Of the total, 89,760 were granted in fiscal 1995, with a term of ten years and vest ratably over three years, commencing two years from the date of grant, and have an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The remaining 30,063 options were granted in 1990, with a term of approximately eleven years and became exercisable in 1991 with an aggregate price of $1.00. 87 24 Pro forma information regarding the net loss and net loss per common share is required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for fiscal 1996 and 1995: risk-free interest rates of 6.3%; a dividend yield of zero percent; a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .827 and a weighted average expected life of the options of five years. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the Company's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. PAGE 20 For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' average vesting period. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:
Fiscal Year --------------------------------------- Pro forma 1996 1995 --------- ---- ---- Net (loss) $ (6,276,119) $ (1,762,737) ================ ================= Net (loss) per common share $ (.76) $ (.28) ================ =================
The pro forma disclosures are not likely to be representative of the effects on earnings reported for future years. A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information is as follows:
