PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
LanVision Systems, Inc. ("LanVision"(TM) or the "Company") is an Application
Service Provider ("ASP") and leading supplier of Healthcare Information Access
Systems specializing in connectivity solutions that utilize the power of the
Internet/Intranet to link hospitals, physicians, patients and payers to a robust
Electronic Medical Record. LanVision's products are complementary to existing
clinical and financial systems, and use document imaging and workflow tools to
ensure end-users can electronically access all the various forms of healthcare
information including clinician's handwritten notes, lab reports, photographs,
insurance cards, etc. LanVision's solutions offer value to all of the
constituents in the healthcare delivery process by enabling them to
simultaneously access information from virtually any location, including the
physician's desktop using, Web browser-based technology. Web access to the
entire medical record improves physician productivity and reduces administrative
costs such as filing, storage, retrieval and upkeep of medical records and
clinical costs, such as redundant diagnostic testing. The system enables
healthcare providers to access, on a real-time basis, all the various forms of
clinical and financial patient information from a single permanent healthcare
information repository.
LanVision's solutions integrate a proprietary document imaging platform,
application suites, and image and Web-enabling tools, that allow for the
seamless merger of "back office" functionality with existing Clinical
Information Systems at the desktop. LanVision offers a robust document
imaging/management infrastructure (Foundation Suite) that is built for high
volume transaction
3
4
processing and is optimized for the healthcare industry. In addition to
providing the clinician access to information not previously available at the
desktop, LanVision's applications fulfill administrative and legal needs of the
Medical Records and Patient Financial Services departments. Furthermore, these
systems have been specifically designed to integrate with any Clinical
Information System. For example, LanVision has integrated its products with
selected systems from Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation,
formerly known as Shared Medical Systems Corporation, and Cerner Corporation. By
offering electronic access to all the components of the medical record, this
integration completes one of the most difficult tasks necessary to provide a
true Computer Based Patient Record. LanVision's systems deliver on-line
enterprisewide access to fully-updated patient information which historically
was maintained on a variety of media, including paper, magnetic disk, optical
disk, x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm.
Historically, LanVision has derived its revenues from systems sales involving
the licensing, either directly or through remarketing partners, of its
Electronic Medical Record solution to Integrated Healthcare Delivery Networks
("IDN"). In a typical transaction, LanVision, or its remarketing partners, enter
into a perpetual, term license or fee-for-service agreement for LanVision's
Electronic Medical Record software suite and may license or sell other
third-party software and hardware components to the IDN. Additionally,
LanVision, or its remarketing partners, provides professional services,
including implementation, training and product support.
With respect to systems sales, LanVision earns its highest margins on
proprietary LanVision software or ASP services and the lowest margins on
third-party hardware. Systems sales to customers may include different
configurations of software and hardware, resulting in varying margins among
contracts. The margins on professional services revenues are expected to
fluctuate based upon the negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer
and LanVision's ability to fully utilize its professional services, maintenance
and support services staff.
Beginning in 1998, LanVision began offering customers the ability to obtain its
Electronic Medical Record solution on a service bureau basis as an Application
Service Provider. LanVision's ASP Division, formerly known as the Virtual
Healthware Services Division, established a centralized data center and
installed LanVision's Electronic Medical Record suite, called ASPeNSM
(Application Service Provider eHealth Network) within the data center. Under
this arrangement, customers electronically capture information and transmit the
data to the centralized data center. The ASP Division stores and manages the
data using LanVision's Electronic Medical Record suite of applications, and
customers can view, print or fax the information from anywhere using the
LanVision Web-based applications. The ASP Division charges and recognizes
revenue for these services on a per transaction or subscription basis as
information is captured, stored, and retrieved.
In February 2000, LanVision sold its centralized data center for $2.9 million.
Simultaneously therewith, LanVision entered into a one-year service agreement
with the buyer. Under the terms of this service agreement, which can be renewed
annually at the sole option of the Company in exchange for processing fees,
LanVision will continue to use the data center to provide ASP services to
LanVision's current and future customers.
4
5
Although LanVision sold the data center assets, it continues to market its ASP
solutions, which include agreements with eSmartHealth, Inc., now known as Smart
Health Services and Provider HealthNet Services, Inc., which agreements are
discussed below. LanVision continues to provide its ASP solutions through the
data center and intends to utilize other data center service providers.
In August 2000, LanVision entered into an agreement with Smart Health Services
("Smart"), which allows Smart to utilize LanVision's MicroVision(TM) Electronic
Medical Record ("EMR") product combined with Web-based Smart software to provide
affordable, Web-based EMR document management and viewing services to hospitals
and clinics via the Internet. Smart Health Services, in conjunction with its
affiliate Alpharetta, Georgia based Smart Professional Photocopy Corporation
d/b/a Smart Corporation, will distribute their services through Smart
Corporation's extensive sales distribution network which currently consists of
over 1,000 hospitals and 4,600 clinic customers throughout 46 states. LanVision
will be compensated for use of its software based upon the number of EMR images
Smart scans and stores using the MicroVision ASP application.
In November 2000, LanVision entered into an agreement with Provider HealthNet
Services, Inc. ("PHNS") which allows PHNS to offer LanVision's MicroVision EMR
product to provide EMR document management and viewing services to PHNS'
customer base. PHNS is a healthcare industry information technology and business
outsourcing company, which provides information technology and professional
management of information systems, medical records and related business
processes to hospitals and other healthcare providers on a shared basis to
improve healthcare services and reduce costs. The relationship with LanVision
will allow PHNS to more effectively use information technology and the LanVision
document imaging and management solution for medical records and other business
processes to improve healthcare services and reduce costs for its customers. The
LanVision ASP services allow PHNS to offer a state-of-the-art, ASP-based EMR
solution, which contributes to increased process efficiency for medical records
functions. PHNS currently provides medical record, transcription and/or coding
management outsourcing services to sixteen hospitals, many of which, LanVision
was advised by PHNS, are considering an EMR solution. The LanVision services to
be provided by PHNS will be delivered on an ASP basis through a centralized data
center staffed by seasoned information technology professionals with healthcare
experience. LanVision will be compensated by PHNS for use of its software based
upon the number of encounters, or patient visits, to each hospital using the
LanVision EMR solution. PHNS is a privately held, Dallas based company which
currently has over 420 experienced healthcare information technology and
business process employees that provide outsourcing services to 16 hospitals in
nine states
To date, LanVision has recorded no revenues from Smart or PHNS and cannot
currently predict, with any certainty, when revenues will be generated from
these two new partners. However, it is probable that revenues could commence
late in fiscal year 2001.
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. Since
inception, LanVision has experienced extended sales cycles,
5
6
which has 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
operating 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
LanVision's proprietary software and third-party software with a perpetual or
term license fee that is adjusted depending on the number of concurrent users or
workstations using the software. Third-party hardware is 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. Alternatively, with LanVision's
ASP services, the agreements generally provide for utilizing its software and
third-party software on a fee per transaction or subscription basis.
Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when an agreement is signed
and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine installation,
integration and project management is deferred until the work is performed. If
an agreement requires LanVision 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. Revenues from consulting, training and
services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from short-term
support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the
agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of the
revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to
progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables.
The ASP Division was designed to overcome obstacles in the buying decision such
as large capital commitment, length of implementation, and the scarcity of time
for Healthcare Information Systems personnel to implement new systems. Customers
pay for such services on a per transaction or subscription basis, and the
centralized data center applications are operated and maintained by LanVision
personnel and/or its agents. In 1999, the ASP Division signed a four-year
contract with The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, a group of five
hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati Area, to provide outsourced data center
operations of its LanVision Electronic Medical Record System. LanVision believes
that more IDN's will begin to look for this type of ASP application.
Additionally, LanVision believes its business model is especially well suited
for the ambulatory marketplace. LanVision is actively pursuing remarketing
agreements with Healthcare Information Systems providers to distribute
LanVision's ASP solution.
In 1998, LanVision entered into a five year Remarketing Agreement with Siemens
Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation ("SMS"), formerly Shared Medical
Systems Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, SMS was granted an
exclusive worldwide license to distribute ChartVision(R), On-Line Chart
Completion(TM), WebView(TM) and Enterprisewide Correspondence(TM) to the SMS
customer base and prospect base, as defined in the Agreement, and a
non-exclusive license to distribute all other LanVision products. If SMS
distributes any other Electronic Medical Record product competing with
LanVision's products, LanVision may
6
7
terminate the SMS Remarketing Agreement
Under the terms of the Agreement, SMS remits royalties to LanVision based upon
SMS sublicensing LanVision's software to SMS's customers. Twenty-five percent of
the royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS
executes the end-user license agreement with its customer. LanVision recognizes
this revenue upon receipt of the royalty statement. The remaining 75% of the
royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS commences
software implementation activities. LanVision records this revenue when the 75%
payment due from SMS is fixed and determinable, which is when software
implementation activities commence. Through January 31, 2001, SMS has sold 14
systems to end-users, which represent approximately $4,319,000 in systems sales
royalties to LanVision.
Healthcare Industry Background
Healthcare expenditures continue to grow at a significant rate and are projected
to total $2.2 trillion and reach 16.2% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product by
2008. In response to this growth, the healthcare industry is undergoing
significant change as competition and cost-containment measures imposed by
governmental and private payers have created significant 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 records are paper-based. The inefficiencies
of paper-based records increases the cost of patient care. Physicians often
cannot gain access to medical records at the time of patient visits, and
multiple users cannot simultaneously access the record when only a single copy
of the paper-based patient record is available. Based upon LanVision's
experience in installing its systems, a typical 500 bed hospital can produce
15,000 to 20,000 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 documents
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
Computerized Patient Record ("CPR").
In order to simultaneously reduce costs and enhance the level of patient care,
hospitals and other healthcare providers are requiring 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 records
which are paper-based and stored in various
7
8
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 information systems expenditures. In the eleventh Annual Healthcare
Information and Management Systems Society ("HIMSS") Leadership Survey,
healthcare business issues were driving Information Technology priorities with
over half of the respondents indicating that cost pressures would continue to be
a driving force in improving operational efficiencies. Included in the top ten
Information Technology priorities was the implementation of Computerized Patient
Records. Respondents believe that implementing eHealth and HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) strategies (See
Regulations Relating to Confidentiality below.) will consume most of the
Information Technology budget, because use of interactivity/eHealth solutions
has become a competitive weapon. Providers, payers and suppliers know that the
consequences of ignoring an eHealth Strategy will result in the loss of market
share.
LanVision believes that the new HIPAA regulations will be a tremendous impetus
for IDN's to begin seriously looking at LanVision products and services as a
means of ensuring compliance with the new Federal regulations. The Medical
Records Institute recently released its annual survey of Electronic Health
Records Trends and Usage. One of the more interesting findings indicated that
forty-one percent of the 299 respondents indicated that they were considering
implementing an electronic patient record via an Application Service Provider
(such as LanVision) over the next two years. In addition, many of the
respondents indicated that they were looking toward the ASP to provide
connectivity to departmental systems, payers and health plans.
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 a 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. LanVision believes the demand for its Healthcare Information
Access Systems, which can supply imaging capabilities to the CPR, will increase
in future years.
Also, the HIMSS Leadership Survey indicated that 69% of the survey respondents
were interested in outsourcing Information Technology functions in ASP services.
Additionally, the Information Technology individuals responding to the HIMSS
Leadership Survey indicated that security related to patient records to meet
HIPAA regulations was the second most important Information Technology priority
within their institutions. The number one priority was to deploy Internet
technology to support eHealth by moving healthcare transactions to the Web and
enhancing Web-based disease management within the community.
In addition to mandated HIPAA Federal regulations, the healthcare industry is
being strongly encouraged by many professional medical organizations to make
greater use of information
8
9
technology. A recent report by the Institute of Medicine ("IOM") of the National
Academies, entitled "To Err is Human: Building a Better Health System,"
envisioned a revamped system that, among other things, makes greater use of
information technology to enable providers and institutions to move away from
paper-based medical record systems to take advantage of new information
technology. The American Medical Association, American Academy of Family
Physicians, American College of Physicians, American Society of Internal
Medicine, and the American College of Surgeons, issued a joint statement
supporting the IOM recommendations.
Regulations Relating to Confidentiality
Federal and state laws regulate the confidentiality of patient records and the
circumstances under which such records may be released. These regulations govern
both the disclosure and use of confidential patient medical record information.
Regulations governing electronic health data transmissions are evolving rapidly
and are often unclear and difficult to apply. On August 22, 1996, the President
signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
("HIPAA"). This legislation required the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(the "Secretary") to adopt national standards for certain types of electronic
health information transactions and the data elements used in such transactions
and to adopt regulations to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of health
information. The Secretary issued some final regulations, which were to go into
effect in April, 2001, but have been delayed. Compliance with the new
regulations will be required within 24 to 36 months after the effective date.
However, additional HIPAA regulations, and interpretations, are expected to be
released in the future. LanVision believes that the regulations issued to date
would not have a material adverse affect on its business. LanVision cannot
predict the potential impact of the regulations that have not yet been released
or any other regulations that might be adopted. Congress may adopt legislation
that may change, override, conflict with or preempt the currently issued
regulations. Additionally, legislation governing the dissemination of medical
record information is also frequently proposed and debated at the state level.
These laws or regulations, when adopted, could restrict the ability of customers
to obtain, use or disseminate patient information.
LanVision believes that the features and architecture of LanVision's products
are such that it should be able to make the necessary modifications to its
products, if required, to ensure compliance with HIPAA, and other legislation or
regulations. However, if the regulations are unduly restrictive, this could
cause delays in the delivery of new versions of products and adversely effect
the licensing of LanVision's products. Overall, LanVision believes the HIPAA
regulations will stimulate healthcare organizations to purchase computer-based
patient medical record systems that automate the collection and use of medical
record information, while maintaining appropriate security over the information.
However, there can be no assurance that an increase in the purchase of new
systems will occur.
Rapid Technological Change and Evolving Market
The market for LanVision's products and services is characterized by rapidly
changing
9
10
technologies, regulatory requirements, evolving industry standards and new
product introductions and enhancements that may render existing products
obsolete or less competitive. As a result, LanVision's position in the
healthcare information technology market could change rapidly due to unforeseen
changes in the features and functions of competing products, as well as the
pricing models for such products. LanVision's future success will depend in part
upon LanVision's ability to enhance its existing products and services and to
develop and introduce new products and services to meet changing requirements.
The LanVision Solution
LanVision's Healthcare Information Access Systems provide solutions for the
patient information access needs of hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery
networks. LanVision's systems enable medical and administrative personnel to
rapidly and efficiently capture, store, manage, route, 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
enterprisewide; (v) provide workflow automation to facilitate the re-engineering
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 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; 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 payer 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, 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.
In 1998, LanVision successfully launched its ASP Division, formerly known as
Virtual
10
11
Healthware Services, that utilizes LanVision's Web browser-based technology to
deliver patient information via a secure Internet/Intranet from a remote central
data center to anyone with access to the healthcare network on a real-time
basis. (See Application Service Provider Service Bureau Operations below.)
The LanVision Strategy
LanVision's objective is to continue to be a leading provider of Healthcare
Information Access Systems. Important elements of LanVision's business strategy
include:
Expand Distribution Channels
LanVision estimates the market for LanVision's products and services could be in
excess of $1 billion, and the market is less than 10% penetrated. A recent
healthcare industry report stated that in order to comply with the HIPAA
healthcare information electronic transmission regulations, healthcare systems
will need to adjust existing systems or purchase new Information Technology
systems, hire and retrain staff, and make significant changes to the current
processes associated with maintaining patient privacy, the cost of which is
estimated to be somewhere between three to four times the amount of expenditures
required for Year 2000 remediation, or an amount in excess of $25 billion.
LanVision strongly believes its highly evolved, secure and technologically
advanced Web browser-based ASP solutions will position the Company to take
advantage of, what it continues to believe will be, significantly increasing
market opportunities for LanVision and its distribution partners in the future.
In 1998, LanVision took a major step forward in improving and expanding its
sales distribution when it entered into a five year Remarketing Agreement with
Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation, one of the leading
providers of information technology to the healthcare industry. SMS serves more
than 3,500 healthcare organizations throughout North America and Europe, and
will sell LanVision's Electronic Medical Records imaging/management and workflow
products as an integrated component of the SMS(R) NOVIUS(R) product line.
In August and November 2000, LanVision entered into two additional agreements
with Smart Health Services and Provider HealthNet Services, Inc. as discussed
above.
It is LanVision's intention to develop additional remarketing alliances with
other Healthcare Information Systems vendors and to explore other means of
expanding LanVision's distribution channels.
Application Service Provider Service Bureau Operations
LanVision established an Application Service Provider Division, which utilizes
LanVision's Web
11
12
browser-based applications across an Internet/Intranet, to deliver high quality,
transaction-based document imaging/management services to healthcare providers
from a centrally located data center. The division enables its healthcare
customers to achieve enhanced patient care, improved security and accessibility
to patient records at significant cost savings with minimal up-front capital
investment, maintenance and support costs. Customers realize benefits more
quickly, with less economic risk. Customers are charged on a per transaction or
subscription basis, which is an attractive alternative to purchasing an in-house
system. This service is made possible through the advancement of Web
browser-based technology, state-of-the-art communication technology and advanced
software design.
As previously noted, LanVision sold its data center. However, under a fee for
service agreement, LanVision will continue to use the data center for its
current and future clients.
LanVision intends to aggressively market its ASP solutions, and future product
development efforts will be designed to accommodate the Application Service
Provider business model.
Maintain Technological Leadership Through the Development of New Software
Applications and Increased Functionality of Existing Applications
LanVision intends to continue its product development efforts and increase the
functionality of existing applications along with the development of new
applications using document imaging and workflow technologies. In particular,
LanVision intends to increase the functionality of its Web browser-based
applications.
LanVision has continually added new features and functionality to its Electronic
Medical Record suite of products, including new security modules, multi-entity
support, non-patient folders, etc.
Currently, LanVision is developing accessANYwareSM a new product that will be
Web browser-based and its Graphical User Interface will include the best
features of LanVision's entire product portfolio, including AccountVision(TM).
AccessANYware will utilize a common database for medical records and patient
accounting, thereby improving system administration and eliminating redundant
data entry.
Currently, LanVision is also developing codingANYwareSM a new product that will
provide workflow automation of the coding and abstracting process by allowing
hospital personnel to electronically access documents to be coded and abstracted
from remote locations, including the employee's home. CodingANYware may also be
integrated with third-party encoding or abstracting software, avoiding redundant
data entry.
LanVision believes only the most robust, flexible, dependable products will
survive in the healthcare market, and LanVision has attempted to establish
itself as the leader in document imaging/management and workflow applications
through strong product development.

Image-Enable Clinical Data Repositories and Other Applications Software
Today, healthcare information is often stored on numerous dissimilar host-based
and departmental systems that are spread throughout an 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
healthcare 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 notes. LanVision has image-enabled many popular Clinical Data
Repositories, such as those offered by Oacis Healthcare Holdings Corp., IDX
Systems Corporation, and Cerner Corporation. LanVision is marketing
image-enabling technology through its OmniVision(TM) and WebView products.
LanVision intends to continue to aggressively market its unique image-enabling
solutions to end-users and other third-party software application providers.
OmniVision is in production in several large-scale, enterprisewide applications
including approximately 3,500 workstations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center. (See "OmniVision-Image-Enabling Tool" described below.)
Systems and Services
LanVision's systems employ an open architecture that supports a variety of
operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT and UNIX.
LanVision's systems can be configured with various hardware platforms, including
INTEL-compatible personal computers, IBM RS/6000 and Hewlett-Packard 9000.
LanVision's systems include a graphical user interface designed specifically by
LanVision for physicians and other medical and administrative personnel in
hospitals and integrated healthcare networks. LanVision's systems operate on
multiple imaging platforms, including SMS, FileNet and Kofax. LanVision's
Healthcare Information Access Systems incorporate advanced features, including
workflow and security features that allow customers to restrict direct access to
confidential patient information, secure patient data from unauthorized indirect
access and have audit trail features.
A brief description of LanVision's products follows.
LanVision products and services are built using advanced document
imaging/management and workflow automation technology to create robust
Electronic Medical Record applications. Document imaging technology makes
paper-based information, as well as medical images, sound and video information
as readily available and easy to process as traditional electronic data.
Workflow automation offers intelligent electronic routing of documents,
sophisticated management tools and reporting to increase efficiency and to
support business process re-engineering efforts.
LanVision's products and services were designed to be complementary with
existing third-party
13
14
Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) applications and ASP-based services,
providing value-added functionality to these third-party applications, including
the following:
- - the ability to gain seamless electronic access to paper-based medical
records, business office documents and medical images (unstructured
data),
- - workflow-based automated chart deficiency analysis and completion,
- - workflow-based automated Release of Information(TM)and billing,
- - workflow-based remote coding and seamless integration to third-party
encoder and abstracter software, and
- - archival support for a legal/historical repository of patient
information.
LanVision has developed innovative application tool sets to "image and
Web-enable" existing HIS clinical and billing applications, thus allowing
clients to have a common graphical user interface on a universal workstation.
LanVision has also developed its own proprietary document imaging middleware
(Foundation Suite) to efficiently provide the object-oriented business processes
common to all of its applications, such as scanning/indexing, faxing/printing,
data archiving migration, security and auditing. Through its application
software, document imaging middleware, and its workflow, image and Web-enabling
tools, LanVision allows the seamless merging of its Medical Record and Patient
Billing department "back office" functionality with existing clinical
information systems at the desktop.
For maximum flexibility, the LanVision family of products and services is made
up of four distinct offerings: The ChartVision Application Suite, The Foundation
Suite, accessANYware and ASPeN, our ASP-based Electronic Medical Record
services.
THE CHARTVISION APPLICATION SUITE......the highly evolved Electronic Medical
Record application
The ChartVision application suite provides physicians, clinicians and
information management professionals throughout the healthcare enterprise with
immediate and simultaneous access to the complete patient record. ChartVision is
a highly evolved Electronic Medical Record application suite that provides
streamlined processing and fast, easy access to all forms of healthcare
information regardless of source.
This suite provides a choice of viewers, WebView or OmniVision. Both viewers
support powerful image-enabling and workflow technology that allow healthcare
users to immediately and simultaneously access any patient information,
including multimedia and paper-based information, through their existing
third-party clinical or billing applications. As a result, any application
across the entire enterprise can be image-enabled, including the host Healthcare
Information Systems, Patient Billing Systems, Clinical Data Repositories and
others. When the Clinical Data Repository 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 users can view traditional
electronic data and images simultaneously on the same screen without signing in
and out of multiple applications.
14
15
The WebView and OmniVision image-enabling tools include a full automation
interface using Object Linking and Embedding and Component Object Modeling
standards that allow third-party products to easily make calls to them.
WebView - Web-Based, Image-Enabling Tool
The Internet, "thin client" workstations and Web browser-enabled applications
have generated enormous excitement in the world of Healthcare Information
Systems. Their potential positive impact on the Computerized Patient Record and
document imaging is just now being realized. LanVision believes these
technologies will combine to create sweeping changes in the way healthcare
institutions manage, distribute and view their healthcare information. WebView
utilizes the Internet/Intranet to allow remote users to easily access an
integrated Computerized Patient Record and document imaging system residing in a
complete Electronic Medical Record from virtually anywhere. The more important
benefits include:
- - significantly lower maintenance and staff costs,
- - lower data center investment and operating costs,
- - the ability to seamlessly image-enable existing clinical, billing or
other third-party information systems, and
- - a higher degree of desktop integration.
WebView uses a familiar Internet browser "look and feel" and combines the
platform-independent technologies, open standards and "network-centric"
architecture of the Internet/Intranet with LanVision's robust application
suites. As an intuitive, flexible, cost-effective, and scaleable product,
WebView provides organizations with a "technology bridge" connecting LanVision's
application suites with innovative Internet/Intranet technologies.
OmniVision - Image-Enabling Tool
OmniVision is LanVision's "thick client" viewer. Like WebView, it is in
production in several large-scale, enterprise-wide implementations, including
over 3,500 workstations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
In addition to the OmniVision and WebView viewers, the ChartVision application
suite includes the following add-on modules:
On-Line Chart Completion (OCC)
Automates the identification of deficiencies in patient charts and
electronically routes the incomplete documents to the appropriate
medical and administrative personnel for on-line processing, chart
completion, electronic signature and reporting. OCC includes
proprietary embedded LanVision workflow software, which provides a
significant cost advantage over alternative third-party workflow
software when deployed throughout the healthcare enterprise.
Enterprisewide Correspondence (EWC)
15
16
Fulfills internal and external requests for information and allows for
automatic invoicing capability. EWC also provides the ability to
electronically search for, print, mail or fax information to third
parties that request copies of patient records.
codingANYware
In the second half of 2001, LanVision will deliver codingANYware, which
provides workflow automation of the coding and abstracting process by
allowing hospital personnel to electronically access documents to be
coded and abstracted from remote locations, including the employee's
home. codingANYware may also be integrated with third-party encoding or
abstracting software, avoiding redundant data entry.
THE FOUNDATION SUITE.....the document imaging/management infrastructure
middleware
The Foundation Suite is robust middleware architecture for document
imaging/management infrastructure, built for maximum performance in high
document volume settings and optimized for the healthcare industry. The features
resident in the Foundation Suite were built around patient-oriented objects that
result in more efficient code and rapid delivery to market of new applications.
The Foundation Suite is designed in a reusable object-oriented environment,
utilizing a 32-bit Windows NT-based architecture, that provides the following
essential document imaging/management functions: security, auditing, data
access, printing/faxing, scheduling, data archiving migration and full problem
diagnosis. The Foundation Suite offers the following unique enhanced security
and auditing functions that facilitate HIPAA Compliance and are essential to
integrated delivery networks in a multi-entity environment:
- - multiple levels of security (administrative, user, patient, document,
workstation, physical location, and healthcare entity) configurable by
user, workstation and location, and
- - full audit trails and reporting of every record viewed, printed, faxed,
processed or unauthorized login attempts at the patient encounter or
document level.
ACCESSANYWARE.....the Web browser-based application
In the second half of 2001, LanVision will deliver the next generation product,
accessANYware, which will be a thin Web browser-based client application that
will provide users with access to a wide variety of functionality, including: a
Chart Deficiency Management System (CDMS), the searching, retrieving and viewing
of patient documents, and report generation...all from a single login. In
addition to this single login, accessANYware will use a single user interface
and integrated database.
From the point of a single login to the system, users with appropriate security
will have the ability to search and retrieve information regarding patients and
cases (for chart analysis), view, print and fax patient documents, as well as
analyze or complete deficient documents. The functions presented to the user
will vary with the user's security. For example, if the user is a clinician,
they will be presented with an inbox function that displays a list of incomplete
charts (awaiting completion) and a list of "linked" patients assigned to them.
The clinician will then have the option to complete deficient charts,
16
17
or retrieve patient information, via searching or by clicking on the "linked"
patients within their inbox. This access may occur from any workstation within
the facility, the physician's office, or some other remote site. With proper
security the user will be able to view, print and fax patient information.
ASPeN.....Application Service Provider eHealth Network
LanVision's ASPeN, ASP-based Electronic Medical Records Services, offers
healthcare providers an even more cost-effective solution to manage patient
information. Through its use of Internet/Intranet technology, ASPeN helps
hospitals and integrated delivery networks overcome the barriers of high capital
and start-up costs as well as the technological burdens of implementing a
document imaging/management and workflow system. ASPeN delivers Electronic
Medical Record services to its healthcare customers on an outsourced basis from
a central data center. Hospitals and integrated delivery systems can therefore
take advantage of a private Intranet or the World-Wide Web, the lowest cost
network infrastructure, for truly enterprise-wide, secure access to healthcare
information.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
LanVision provides a full complement of professional services to implement its
software applications. LanVision believes that high quality consulting and
professional implementation services are critical to attracting new customers
and maintaining existing customer satisfaction. These services include
implementation and training, project management, business process re-engineering
and custom software development. The implementation and training services
include equipment and software installation, system integration and
comprehensive training. The project management services include needs and
cost/benefit analysis, hardware and software configuration and business process
re-engineering. The custom software development services include interface,
workflow and report development.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
LanVision continues to focus its research and development efforts to develop new
application software and increase the functionality of existing applications.
Customer requirements and desires significantly influence LanVision's research
and development efforts. In 1996 and 1997, LanVision significantly expanded its
development efforts. In late 1997 and early 1998, LanVision completed many of
its major development projects. Whereupon, LanVision began to reduce the use of
outside contractors and development staff as projects were completed.
Product research and development expense was $1,674,383, $2,166,441 and
$3,740,215 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. LanVision capitalized $420,000,
$300,000 and $396,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Texas Health Resources, Inc.: Harris Methodist Hospital, Fort
Worth, TX
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA
Application Service Provider Division Customer:
The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH
In addition to the institutions listed above, SMS has sold the LanVision
Electronic Medical Record suite of products to fourteen healthcare organizations
as of January 31, 2001.
Excluding our remarketing partners, in fiscal year 2000, Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, and
Medical College of Georgia, accounted for 11%, 10% and 8%, respectively of
LanVision's total revenues. In fiscal year 1999, Beth Israel Medical Center,
Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center,
accounted for 10%, 9% and 9%, respectively of LanVision's total revenues. In
fiscal year 1998, Beth Israel Medical Center, Medical University of South
Carolina, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, accounted for 10%, 9%, and
8%, respectively of LanVision's total revenues. The small number of customers
and the extended sales cycle have contributed to variability in quarterly and
annual operating results. LanVision expects that as its customer base continues
to increase, and sales through the SMS Remarketing Agreement and the Smart
Health Services and Provider HealthNet Agreements increase, the actions of any
one customer will have less of an effect on its quarterly and annual operating
results.
Signed Agreements - Backlog
18
19
LanVision enters into master agreements with its customers to specify the scope
of the system to be installed and/or services to be provided by LanVision, the
agreed upon aggregate price and the timetable for implementation. The master
agreement typically provides that LanVision 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.
At January 31, 2001, LanVision has master agreements or purchase orders for
systems and related services (excluding support and maintenance, and
transaction-based revenues for the ASP Division) which have not been delivered,
installed and accepted which, if fully performed, would generate future revenues
of approximately $4,255,000. The related products and services are expected to
be delivered over the next two to three years. Furthermore, the ASP Division has
entered into a service bureau agreement, which is expected to generate revenues
in excess of $2,000,000 over the remaining three-year life of the contract.
LanVision's master agreements also generally provide for an initial maintenance
period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance and support
services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance and support
revenues for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $3,678,000,
$3,264,000, and $2,755,000, respectively. Maintenance and support revenues are
expected to increase in 2001.
The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and
complexity of the system, the implementation schedule requested by the customer
and usage by customers of the ASP Division. Therefore, LanVision is unable to
accurately predict the revenue it expects to achieve in any particular period.
LanVision's master agreements generally provide that the customer may terminate
its agreement upon a material breach by LanVision, or may delay certain aspects
of the installation. There can be no assurance that a customer will not cancel
all or any portion of master agreement or delay installations. A termination or
installation delay of one or more phases of an agreement, or the failure of
LanVision to procure additional agreements, could have a material adverse effect
on LanVision's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Royalties
LanVision incorporates software licensed from various vendors into its
proprietary software. In addition, third-party, stand-alone software is required
to operate LanVision's proprietary software. LanVision licenses these software
products, and pays the required royalties and/or license fees when such software
is delivered to LanVision's customers.

Competition
Several companies historically have dominated the Healthcare Information Access
Systems market. 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.
LanVision believes that these barriers taken together represent a moderate to
high level barrier to entry. Foreign competition has not been a significant
factor in the market, to date.
LanVision's competitors include Healthcare Information Access Systems vendors
that are larger and more established and have substantially more resources than
LanVision. In addition, information and document management companies serving
other industries may enter the market. Suppliers and companies with whom
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
the size and perceived financial stability of the vendor. 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 LanVision will be able to
compete successfully in the future against existing or potential competitors.
LanVision believes that its principal competitors are: American Management
Systems, Incorporated; IMNET Systems, Inc. (a subsidiary of McKesson HBOC,
Inc.); MedPlus, Inc. and Intelus Corporation (a subsidiary of Eclipsys
Corporation).
Employees
As of March 31, 2001, LanVision had 54 full-time employees. In addition,
LanVision utilizes independent contractors to supplement its staff, as needed.
None of LanVision'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
20
21
employee relations are good.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the last five fiscal years, LanVision has funded its operations, working
capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash
generated by operations, an initial public offering and borrowings, including, a
$6,000,000 loan in 1998.
LanVision's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or medical
facilities with good credit histories, and payments have been received within
normal time frames for the industry. However, some healthcare organizations have
experienced significant operating losses as a result of limits on third-party
reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental entities. Agreements
with customers often involve significant amounts and contract terms typically
require customers to make progress payments.
LanVision has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than
noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $277,000,
payable over the next two years.
Over the last several years, LanVision's revenues were less than its internal
plans. However, during the same period, LanVision has expended significant
amounts for capital expenditures, product research and development, sales,
support and consulting expenses. This resulted in significant net cash outlays
over the last five years. Although LanVision has reduced staffing levels and
related expenses, and improved operating performance, LanVision's expenses may
continue to approximate its revenues. Accordingly, to continue to achieve
profitability, and positive cash flow, it is necessary for LanVision to increase
revenues or continue to reduce expenses. LanVision believes that the requirement
for healthcare organizations to become HIPAA compliant should offer a
significant opportunity to increase revenues. Additionally, the SMS Remarketing
Agreement has significantly expanded the sales distribution capabilities, and
LanVision believes that market opportunities are such that it should be able to
increase its revenues. However, there can be no assurance LanVision will be able
to increase its revenues.
In February 2000, LanVision sold its Data Center for approximately $2,900,000.
LanVision received $2,000,000 and the remaining $900,000 was received in twelve
monthly installments commencing March 1, 2000. The sale resulted in a gain of
approximately $1,400,000.
At January 31, 2001, LanVision had cash and cash equivalents of $8,549,732. Cash
equivalents consist primarily of overnight bank repurchase agreements and
short-term commercial paper. Under the terms of its loan agreement, as amended,
LanVision has agreed to maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of
$5,300,000. During fiscal 2001, $1,000,000 of long-term debt is required to be
repaid.
LanVision has significantly reduced operating expenses during the last two
fiscal years, and believes it will continue to improve operating results in
fiscal 2001. However, based
21
22
upon current expenditure levels and in the absence of increased revenues,
LanVision could continue to operate at a loss. Accordingly, for the foreseeable
future, LanVision will need to continually assess its revenue prospects compared
to its current expenditure levels. If it does not appear likely that revenues
will increase, it may be necessary to further reduce operating expenses or raise
cash through additional borrowings, the sale of assets, or other equity
financing. Certain of these actions will require lender approval. However, there
can be no assurance LanVision will be successful in any of these efforts. If it
is necessary to significantly reduce operating expenses, this could have an
adverse affect on future operating performance.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on LanVision's revenues or
expenses.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
LanVision's principal offices are located at 5481 Creek Road, Cincinnati, Ohio
45242-4001. The offices consist of approximately 15,000 square feet of space
under a lease that expires in January 2003. The rental expense for these
facilities approximates $123,000 annually.
LanVision also leased office space for a portion of its software engineering and
research and development operations at 5970 Fairview Road, Suite 650, Charlotte,
North Carolina 28210-3167. The offices consist of approximately 3,800 square
feet of space under a lease that expires in May 2002. LanVision no longer uses
these facilities and has subleased these facilities through May 2002 for an
amount of rent, which covers the total lease payment liability of LanVision.
LanVision believes that its facilities are adequate for its current needs and
that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to
accommodate expansion of LanVision's operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
LanVision 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 at this time,
LanVision is not aware of any legal matters that will have a material adverse
effect on LanVision's consolidated results of operations or consolidated
financial position.

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 LanVision or its competitors, quarterly fluctuations in LanVision's financial
results or other competitors' financial results, changes in analysts' estimates
of LanVision'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
LanVision, have recently experienced 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.
(b) According to the transfer agent records, the Company had 150 stockholders of
record as of April 2, 2001. 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 2,300
stockholders.
(c) 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 due to the restrictive financial covenants in its long-term debt
agreement.

3
under the terms of these sections."
(b) Section 2 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended to add the
following:
"Section 2.12 ADDITIONAL SPECIAL PAYMENT. Borrower has accrued
on its balance sheet at January 31, 2001 the sum of One Million
Four Hundred Forty-two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-five and
01/100 Dollars ($1,442,285.01) (after giving effect to a Special
Payment made by Borrower pursuant to the Third Amendment to Loan
Agreement) as a liability to Lender, representing the amount of
the additional fee accrued through January 31, 2001 to guarantee
Lender a minimum compounded annual internal rate of return of
twenty-five percent (25%) at maturity on July 31, 2004 pursuant
to Section 2.3(c) of the Loan Agreement (the "Yield Guarantee at
Maturity"). Borrower has agreed to pay to Lender the sum of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of such accrued amount
contemporaneously with the execution of this Fourth Amendment,
April 2, 2001 (the "Special Payment Two"). Accordingly, upon
payment in full of the Term Loan, Lender agrees to credit
against the amount of the Yield Guarantee at Maturity due Lender
an amount equal to the future value of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000), compounded at an assumed interest rate of
six percent (6%) per annum from the date hereof to the date of
payment of the Term Loan. The amount so computed is referred to
as the "Future Credit Amount." For example, if the Loan is paid
in full at maturity on July 31, 2004, the Future Credit Amount
shall be equal to Six Hundred Seven Thousand, One Hundred
Sixty-eight and 18/100 Dollars ($607,168.18). Notwithstanding
this Special Payment Two of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the full
amount of the Yield Guarantee at Maturity as if this Special
Payment Two had not been made, and will continue to accrue an
amount to satisfy such Yield Guarantee at Maturity on a monthly

1.1 This Sublease and Consent ("Sublease") is made as of May 1, 2000
between LanVision, Inc. ("Sublessor") and LifeStyle Technologies, Inc.
("Sublessee").
1.2 Fairview Plaza Associates Limited Partnership ("Lessor"), as lessor,
and Sublessor, as lessee, on February 26, 1996, entered into a Lease,
as amended on August 12, 1996, and on May 21, 1997, ("Lease") having a
lease commencement date of March 15, 1996 for certain office space and
improvements known as Suite 650 of the 5970 Fairview Plaza Building,

forth in the Lease, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
1.3 Sublessor now desires to sublease the Premises to Sublessee for the
occupancy and use of Sublessee, and Sublessee desires to sublease the
Premises from Sublessor, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Sublease.

from Sublessor the Premises for a term ("Sublease Term") commencing as

3 Rent
3.1 Sublessee agrees to pay to Sublessor, without set-off, abatement,
credit, deduction, or claim of off-set, rent ("Rent") for the Premises
in an amount equal to the base rent and rental escalations payable by
Sublessor under the Lease. Rent shall be payable in advance, on the
first day of each month during the Sublease Term. All Rent shall be
paid to Sublessor in care of Lessor (until such time as Sublessor may

Suite 200, Charlotte, North Carolina 28210, or at such other address as
Sublessor may from time to time designate by notice to Sublessee. In
the event the Sublease Term commences or expires on any day other than

Sublessor does so, Sublessor shall, upon demand, deposit with Sublessor
the amount so applied so that Sublessor shall have the full deposit on

foregoing, at Sublessee's option and to the extent the deposit is

CORPORATE PROFILE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LanVision is an Application Service Provider and leading supplier of Healthcare
Information Access Systems specializing in connectivity solutions that utilize
the power of the Internet/Intranet to link hospitals, physicians, patients and
payers to a robust Electronic Medical Record. LanVision's solutions enable the
coordination of both "structured" and "unstructured" patient data through a

to existing clinical and financial systems, and use document imaging and
workflow tools to ensure end-users can electronically access all the various
forms of healthcare information including clinician's handwritten notes, lab
reports, photographs, insurance cards, etc. LanVision's solutions offer value to
all of the constituents in the healthcare delivery process by enabling them to
simultaneously access information from virtually any location, including the
physician's desktop, using Web browser-based technology. Web access to the
entire medical record improves physician productivity and reduces administrative
costs such as filing, storage, retrieval and upkeep of medical records and
clinical costs, such as redundant diagnostic testing.

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Stockholder:
Fiscal 2000 was a year of continued transition, stabilization and significant
accomplishment for LanVision. I am pleased to report that we have again made
considerable progress toward our goals of: becoming a leading Application
Service Provider (ASP); strengthening our balance sheet; returning LanVision to
profitability; and positioning LanVision to take advantage of promising
healthcare market opportunities.
Fiscal 2000 was a challenging year for LanVision as we continued our transition
from a direct selling organization to utilizing an indirect distribution model
and from marketing perpetual licenses for our application software to providing
eHealth services through an ASP-delivery model. Management strongly believes
that both our indirect distribution model and our ASP delivery model will: 1)
improve the predictability of our revenues, 2) create opportunities for notable
top-line revenue growth, and 3) position LanVision to take advantage of
significant market opportunities in 2001, and beyond, as healthcare
organizations devote a substantial amount of their time and information
technology budgets to comply with the new Federal HIPAA (Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) compliance issues as they relate to
medical records. Revenues for the year were adversely affected by LanVision's
continued transition to new models of distribution and delivery. However, the
transitional effects on top line revenue are mostly behind us and we anticipate
achieving some of the operational and financial benefits of the new distribution
and delivery models in 2001, and beyond, as recurring revenues continue to grow.
We believe that the new HIPAA regulations will be a tremendous impetus for
healthcare organizations to consider our products and services as a means of
ensuring compliance with the new regulations. The first series of these Federal
regulations, and more are planned in the future, were scheduled to go into
effect in April 2001, and compliance with the new regulations will be required,
in many cases, within two years. The current regulations, as proposed, cover all
medical records whether maintained electronically or the traditional paper-based
records. LanVision, we believe, has the most comprehensive and scalable system
available in the market today. Our application software is currently functioning
in the most demanding of environments, including the ASP delivery model, and is
a cost-effective means of meeting the needs of healthcare organizations as they
implement the new HIPAA regulations.
The Medical Records Institute recently released its annual survey of Electronic
Health Records Trends and Usage. One of the more interesting findings indicated
that forty-one percent of the respondents were considering implementing an
Electronic Medical Record via an ASP, such as LanVision, over the next two
years. In addition, many of the respondents indicated that they were looking
toward the ASP to provide connectivity to departmental systems, payers and
health plans. This growing trend toward using the ASP delivery model for
implementing an Electronic Medical Record was also supported by the results of
the eleventh annual Healthcare Information Management Systems Society survey in
which sixty-one percent of the respondents indicated that they were interested
in outsourcing Information Technology functions through an ASP.
A respected healthcare technology industry group estimates that the cost of
compliance with the HIPAA regulations could be as much as three to four times
that spent on technology upgrades associated with the Year 2000 compliance
issues, or over $20 Billion. The American Hospital Association estimate for
HIPAA compliance is $22.5 Billion over five years. Obviously, we believe that
the HIPAA regulations offer a tremendous opportunity for LanVision. Our
challenge is to ensure that we, and our remarketing partners, are prepared for
HIPAA compliance issues and that we are capable of meeting the evolving
regulations and their interpretations in a timely and cost-effective manner. We
believe that we can, through our ASP services, provide healthcare organizations
with a cost-effective and efficient implementation to meet their HIPAA
compliance needs.
Fiscal 2000 was a year of stabilization, as LanVision continued to enhance its
product offerings, and demonstrate to the healthcare community the robustness
and scalability of its products. During the year some of our existing clients
made significant progress in expanding and upgrading their systems. Our largest
customer now has 850 concurrent users accessing their LanVision Electronic
Medical Records system from more than 3,500 workstations in multiple locations
throughout their integrated healthcare network. We believe this is one of the
largest and most comprehensive uses of Electronic Medical Record application
technology of its kind in the country. In addition, our largest remarketing
partner signed agreements with six new hospitals to install our products. This
brings the total to fourteen the number of large-scale systems they have sold.
This accelerated pace of new sales by our largest remarketing partner in fiscal
year 2000, we believe, bodes well for the future.
Fiscal year 2000 was a year of significant accomplishment as we increased our
profitability by concentrating on significantly reducing our operating expenses
and focusing on more profitable revenue generation. LanVision achieved
profitability during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000, and over this
period, had total operating profits of approximately $1.1 Million. Through the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000, LanVision improved its operating results for
eleven consecutive quarters.
Over the last several years, we have made considerable investments in our
product line, our Web browser-based technologies and our transition plans to
operating and distribution models that position us to take advantage of many
emerging Internet and services-based healthcare market opportunities. Our
customers continue to enjoy significant operating success with our products
while improving patient care. Our Web browser-based solutions are scalable from
a small physician practice to the largest integrated healthcare networks. Web
browser access to the entire medical record, from virtually anywhere, improves
physician productivity through efficient and timely communication of clinical
information, reduces costs and improves the overall quality of patient care. Our
Web browser-based technology and ASP services position LanVision to take full
advantage of promising market opportunities relating to the use of the
Internet/Intranet as an important new medium to collect and distribute
healthcare information.
We continue to look for ways to broaden the distribution of our products by
pursuing strategic business alliances with traditional Healthcare Information
Systems companies, emerging healthcare Application Service Providers, and other
potential strategic partners who have a need to interact with the patient's
medical record.
We believe LanVision is built on a solid foundation, with highly evolved and
technologically advanced products that are successfully installed in an
impressive list of satisfied customers. We approach the future with enthusiasm
and confidence that the year 2001 will continue to reflect significantly
improved operating results.
We are thankful for your continued confidence.
Sincerely,
/s/ J. Brian Patsy

OUR VISION
INDUSTRY TRENDS
In the year 2001 and beyond, LanVision believes that the healthcare industry
will be devoting a substantial amount of their time and information technology
budgets to comply with the new Federal HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996) compliance issues as they relate to medical records.
The first series of Federal Health Privacy Regulations were issued in February
2001, and compliance with the new regulations will be required, in many cases,
within two years of their effective date.
In addition to mandated Federal regulations, the healthcare industry is being
strongly encouraged by many professional medical organizations to make greater
use of information technology. A recent report by the Institute of Medicine
(IOM) of the National Academies, entitled "To Err is Human: Building a Better
Health System," envisions a revamped system that, among other things, makes
greater use of information technology to enable providers and institutions to
move away from paper-based medical record systems to take advantage of new
information technology. The American Medical Association, American Academy of
Family Physicians, American College of Physicians, American Society of Internal
Medicine, and the American College of Surgeons, issued a joint statement
supporting the IOM recommendations.
The HIPAA Federal Health Privacy Regulations and industry trends as recommended
in the IOM report could be a tremendous impetus for hospitals and Integrated
Healthcare Delivery Networks to begin to seriously look at LanVision's products
and services as a means of ensuring compliance with the new regulations and
improving healthcare delivery through the use of information technology.
Many healthcare providers have not invested the resources necessary to upgrade
their information systems to support their increased information requirements,
which could lead to wasted efforts, redundant tests and procedures and
administrative inefficiencies that often adversely impact the quality of care.
Furthermore, those organizations that have taken on the challenge of gathering
such information electronically have often implemented clinical information
systems that have only focused on the structured data components rather than all
forms of healthcare information, including paper. In order to make a substantial
impact on the inefficiencies inherent in today's healthcare environment, all
unstructured data such as images, hand-written physician notes, etc. need to be
seamlessly integrated with its structured counterpart in an easily accessible
and complete Electronic Medical Record. The Internet/Intranet provides a
universal, cost-effective communications medium to deliver the complete
Electronic Medical Record to all of the constituents of the healthcare industry.
While the trend within healthcare clearly is towards a paperless environment,
there are widely differing opinions as to whether paper and other forms of
unstructured data will be completely eliminated. Most healthcare industry
experts agree however, that it is unlikely that paper or other forms of
unstructured data will be eliminated anytime soon. The continued reliance on
paper is further apparent, given that physicians would otherwise be required to
change the way that they currently practice medicine. This is problematic given
the amount of writing physicians perform in relation to the additional time and
effort necessary for them to put their thoughts into structured data format
(i.e. keyboard entry at a specified computer workstation). There is an immediate
need to ensure that all healthcare information can be accessed electronically,
regardless of the media on which the information is created or stored.
The dramatic growth of the Internet and private Intranets as an important new
medium to collect and distribute information, communicate, interact and engage
in healthcare commerce has emerged as the way to overcome the historical
technical barriers for connecting the participants in the fragmented healthcare
industry. Along with the growth of the Internet/Intranet, there has been
increased emphasis on the cost-effective Application Service Provider (ASP)
delivery model that offers Web browser-based software application functionality
via a fee-for-service arrangement over the Intranet/Intranet from a centralized
data center. The technical barriers are diminishing for several reasons:
- - universal, low-cost and high speed Internet access is replacing private
networks,
- - common navigation via browser-based technology is replacing proprietary
desktop client software, and
- - the Internet's open architecture is providing a solution for
integrating existing computer systems.

THE MARKETPLACE
Competitive pressures and the need to significantly reduce overall healthcare
costs will require healthcare organizations to automate their labor-intensive,
paper-based processes and seamlessly integrate these with their existing
clinical applications, creating a complete centralized Electronic Medical Record
repository--regardless of the medical record medium or physical location. The
ASP delivery model is the most cost-effective method of creating and maintaining
a centralized Electronic Medical Record repository. This ASP-based centralized
electronic repository will represent a critical connectivity solution necessary
to link hospital clinicians, physician practices, administrators, payers,
consumers and other third parties to common healthcare information via a secured
Internet/Intranet. As increased security requirements emerging from HIPAA
dictate changes in how organizations manage patient information, the new secure
Web browser-based technologies will prevail as the predominate economic solution
to electronically store, process, route and view vital healthcare information,
regardless of the creation medium or the authorized user's physical location.
For example, a hospital clinician could electronically review, complete and sign
the Electronic Medical Record or route the information to an associate for
consultation, all from the privacy of the clinician's home or office. Any
authorized user could access the information through a standard Web browser, via
the Internet or a private network.
The benefits of the ASP centralized storage and distributed access to all the
forms of healthcare information across the healthcare continuum are many and
include:
- - simultaneous access to the entire medical record regardless of the site
of care,
- - reduction of redundant diagnostic testing and more informed treatment
decisions,
- - elimination of shadow or redundant record keeping in multiple patient
medical record repositories,
- - increased security and decreased risk of loss or unauthorized
disclosure of patient information,
- - reduced labor and storage costs associated with paper systems,
- - improved efficiency in chart completion, billings and collections,
- - more control over patient information, and
- - empowers physicians and patients to easily share the information with
others in the healthcare continuum.
The operational and financial benefits of the ASP delivery model include:
- - requires minimal capital investment,
- - offers immediate payback on services investment,
- - avoids technological obsolescence,
- - takes advantage of economies of scale as multiple users share
centralized data center facilities, equipment and software
infrastructure,
- - provides for increased security, redundancy and disaster recovery
capabilities, and
- - allows increased flexibility in menu of services provided.
A substantial opportunity exists for LanVision, as an ASP, to fundamentally
change the way a patient's healthcare information is processed and shared. The
ASPs that are first to deliver both structured and unstructured data with ease
and to provide secure access to all forms of healthcare information from
standard Web browsers will have distinct competitive advantages in the rapidly
growing Electronic Medical Records marketplace.
LANVISION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
LanVision products and services are built using advanced document
imaging/management and workflow automation technology to create robust
Electronic Medical Record applications. Document imaging technology makes
paper-based information, as well as medical images, sound and video information
as readily available and easy to process as traditional electronic data.
Workflow automation offers intelligent electronic routing of documents,
sophisticated management tools and reporting to increase efficiency and to
support business process re-engineering efforts.
LanVision's products and services were designed to be complementary with
existing third-party Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) applications and
ASP-based services, providing value-added functionality to these third-party
applications, including the following:
- - the ability to gain seamless electronic access to paper-based medical
records, business office documents and medical images (unstructured
data),
- - workflow-based automated chart deficiency analysis and completion,
- - workflow-based automated release of information and billing,
- - workflow-based remote coding and seamless integration to third-party
encoder and abstracter software, and
- - archival support for a legal/historical repository of patient
information.
6
PAGE 5
LanVision has developed innovative application tool sets to "image and
web-enable" existing HIS clinical and billing applications, thus allowing
clients to have a common graphical user interface on a universal workstation.
LanVision has also developed its own proprietary document imaging middleware
(Foundation Suite) to efficiently provide the object-oriented business processes
common to all of its applications, such as scanning/indexing, faxing/printing,
data archiving migration, security and auditing. Through its application
software, document imaging middleware, and its workflow, image and web-enabling
tools, LanVision allows the seamless merging of its Medical Record and Patient
Billing department "back office" functionality with existing clinical
information systems at the desktop.
For maximum flexibility, the LanVision family of products and services is made
up of four distinct offerings: The ChartVision Application Suite, The Foundation
Suite, accessANYware and ASPeN, our ASP-based Electronic Medical Record
services.
THE CHARTVISION APPLICATION SUITE......the highly evolved Electronic Medical
Record application
The ChartVision application suite provides physicians, clinicians and
information management professionals throughout the healthcare enterprise with
immediate and simultaneous access to the complete patient record. ChartVision is
a highly evolved Electronic Medical Record application suite that provides
streamlined processing and fast, easy access to all forms of healthcare
information regardless of source.
This suite provides a choice of viewers, WebView or OmniVision. Both viewers
support powerful image-enabling and workflow technology that allow healthcare
users to immediately and simultaneously access any patient information,
including multimedia and paper-based information, through their existing
third-party clinical or billing applications. As a result, any application
across the entire enterprise can be image-enabled, including the host Healthcare
Information Systems, Patient Billing Systems, Clinical Data Repositories and
others. When the Clinical Data Repository 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 users can view traditional
electronic data and images simultaneously on the same screen without signing in
and out of multiple applications.
The WebView and OmniVision image-enabling tools include a full automation
interface using Object Linking and Embedding and Component Object Modeling
standards that allow third-party products to easily make calls to them.
WEBVIEW - Web-Based, Image-Enabling Tool
The Internet, "thin client" workstations and Web browser-enabled applications
have generated enormous excitement in the world of Healthcare Information
Systems. Their potential positive impact on the Computerized Patient Record and
document imaging is just now being realized. LanVision believes these
technologies will combine to create sweeping changes in the way healthcare
institutions manage, distribute and view their healthcare information. WebView
utilizes the Internet/Intranet to allow remote users to easily access an
integrated Computerized Patient Record and document imaging system residing in a
complete Electronic Medical Record from virtually anywhere. The more important
benefits include:
- - significantly lower maintenance and staff costs,
- - lower data center investment and operating costs,
- - the ability to seamlessly image-enable existing clinical, billing or
other third-party information systems, and
- - a higher degree of desktop integration.
WebView uses a familiar Internet browser "look and feel" and combines the
platform-independent technologies, open standards and "network-centric"
architecture of the Internet/Intranet with LanVision's robust application
suites. As an intuitive, flexible, cost-effective, and scaleable product,
WebView provides organizations with a "technology bridge" connecting LanVision's
application suites with innovative Internet/Intranet technologies.
OMNIVISION - Image-Enabling Tool
OmniVision is LanVision's "thick client" viewer. Like WebView, it is in
production in several large-scale, enterprise-wide implementations, including
over 3,500 workstations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
In addition to the OmniVision and WebView viewers, the ChartVision application
suite includes the following add-on modules:
7
PAGE 6
On-Line Chart Completion (OCC)
Automates the identification of deficiencies in patient charts and
electronically routes the incomplete documents to the appropriate
medical and administrative personnel for on-line processing, chart
completion, electronic signature and reporting. OCC includes
proprietary embedded LanVision workflow software, which provides a
significant cost advantage over alternative third-party workflow
software when deployed throughout the healthcare enterprise.
Enterprisewide Correspondence (EWC)
Fulfills internal and external requests for information and allows for
automatic invoicing capability. EWC also provides the ability to
electronically search for, print, mail or fax information to third
parties that request copies of patient records.
codingANYware
In the second half of 2001, LanVision will deliver codingANYware, which
provides workflow automation of the coding and abstracting process by
allowing hospital personnel to electronically access documents to be
coded and abstracted from remote locations, including the employee's
home. CodingANYware may also be integrated with third-party encoding or
abstracting software, avoiding redundant data entry.
THE FOUNDATION SUITE......the document imaging/management infrastructure
middleware
The Foundation Suite is robust middleware architecture for document
imaging/management infrastructure, built for maximum performance in high
document volume settings and optimized for the healthcare industry. The features
resident in the Foundation Suite were built around patient-oriented objects that
result in more efficient code and rapid delivery to market of new applications.
The Foundation Suite is designed in a reusable object-oriented environment,
utilizing a 32-bit Windows NT-based architecture, that provides the following
essential document imaging/management functions: security, auditing, data
access, printing/faxing, scheduling, data archiving migration and full problem
diagnosis. The Foundation Suite offers the following unique enhanced security
and auditing functions that facilitate HIPAA Compliance and are essential to
integrated delivery networks in a multi-entity environment:
- - multiple levels of security (administrative, user, patient, document,
workstation, physical location, and healthcare entity) configurable by
user, workstation and location, and
- - full audit trails and reporting of every record viewed, printed, faxed,
processed or unauthorized login attempts at the patient encounter or
document level.
ACCESSANYWARE......the Web browser-based application
In the second half of 2001, LanVision will deliver the next generation product,
accessANYware, which will be a thin Web browser-based client application that
will provide users with access to a wide variety of functionality, including: a
Chart Deficiency Management System, the searching, retrieving and viewing of
patient documents, and report generation...all from a single login. In addition
to this single login, accessANYware will use a single user interface and
integrated database.
From the point of a single login to the system, users with appropriate security
will have the ability to search and retrieve information regarding patients and
cases (for chart analysis), view, print and fax patient documents, as well as
analyze or complete deficient documents. The functions presented to the user
will vary with the user's security. For example, if the user is a clinician,
they will be presented with an inbox function that displays a list of incomplete
charts (awaiting completion) and a list of "linked" patients assigned to them.
The clinician will then have the option to complete deficient charts, or
retrieve patient information, via searching or by clicking on the "linked"
patients within their inbox. This access may occur from any workstation within
the facility, the physician's office, or some other remote site. With proper
security the user will be able to view, print and fax patient information.
ASPeN......Application Service Provider eHealth Network
LanVision's ASPeN, ASP-based Electronic Medical Records Services, offers
healthcare providers an even more cost-effective solution to manage patient
information. Through its use of Internet/Intranet technology, ASPeN helps
hospitals and integrated delivery networks overcome the barriers of high capital
and start-up costs as well as the technological burdens of implementing a
document imaging/management and workflow system. ASPeN delivers Electronic
Medical Record services to its healthcare customers on an outsourced basis from
a central data center. Hospitals and integrated delivery systems can therefore
take advantage of a private Intranet or the World-Wide-Web, the lowest cost
network infrastructure, for truly enterprise-wide, secure access to healthcare
information.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
LanVision is an Application Service Provider (ASP) and leading supplier of
Healthcare Information Access Systems specializing in connectivity solutions
that utilize the power of the Internet/Intranet to link hospitals, physicians,
patients and payers to a robust Electronic Medical Record. LanVision's products
are complementary to existing clinical and financial systems, and use document
imaging and workflow tools to ensure end-users can electronically access all the
various forms of healthcare information including clinician's handwritten notes,
lab reports, photographs, insurance cards, etc. LanVision's solutions offer
value to all of the constituents in the healthcare delivery process by enabling
them to simultaneously access information from virtually any location, including
the physician's desktop, using Web browser-based technology. Web access to the
entire medical record improves physician productivity and reduces administrative
costs such as filing, storage, retrieval and upkeep of medical records and
clinical costs, such as redundant diagnostic testing. The system enables
healthcare providers to access, on a real-time basis, all the various forms of
clinical and financial patient information from a single permanent healthcare
information repository. LanVision's solutions integrate a proprietary document
imaging platform, application suites, and image and Web-enabling tools, that
allow for the seamless merger of "back office" functionality with existing
Clinical Information Systems at the desktop. LanVision offers a robust document
imaging/management infrastructure (Foundation Suite) that is built for high
volume transaction processing and is optimized for the healthcare industry. In
addition to providing the clinician access to information not previously
available at the desktop, LanVision's applications fulfill the administrative
and legal needs of the Medical Records and Patient Financial Services
departments. Furthermore, these systems have been specifically designed to
integrate with any Clinical Information System. For example, LanVision has
integrated its products with selected systems from Siemens Medical Solutions
Health Services Corporation, formerly known as Shared Medical Systems
Corporation, and Cerner Corporation. By offering electronic access to all the
components of the medical record, this integration completes one of the most
difficult tasks necessary to provide a true Computer Based Patient Record.
LanVision's systems deliver on-line enterprisewide access to fully-updated
patient information which historically was maintained on a variety of media,
including paper, magnetic disk, optical disk, x-ray film, video, audio and
microfilm.
Historically, LanVision has derived its revenues from systems sales involving
the licensing, either directly or through remarketing partners, of its
Electronic Medical Record solution to Integrated Healthcare Delivery Networks
(IDN). In a typical transaction, LanVision, or its remarketing partners, enter
into a perpetual, term license or fee-for-service agreement for LanVision's
Electronic Medical Record software suite and may license or sell other
third-party software and hardware components to the IDN. Additionally,
LanVision, or its remarketing partners provide professional services, including
implementation, training and product support.
With respect to systems sales, LanVision earns its highest margins on
proprietary LanVision software or ASP services and the lowest margins on
third-party hardware. Systems sales to customers may include different
configurations of software and hardware, resulting in varying margins among
contracts. The margins on professional services revenues are expected to
fluctuate based upon the negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer
and LanVision's ability to fully utilize its professional services, maintenance
and support services staff.
Beginning in 1998, LanVision began offering customers the ability to obtain its
Electronic Medical Record solution on a service bureau basis as an ASP.
LanVision's ASP Division, formerly known as Virtual Healthware Services
Division, established a centralized data center and installed LanVision's
Electronic Medical Record suite, called ASPeN (Application Service Provider
eHealth Network) within the data center. Under this arrangement, customers
electronically capture information and transmit the data to the centralized data
center. The ASP Division stores and manages the data using LanVision's
Electronic Medical Record suite of applications, and customers can view, print
or fax the information from anywhere using the LanVision Web-based applications.
The ASP Division charges and recognizes revenue for these services on a per
transaction or subscription basis as information is captured, stored, and
retrieved.
In February 2000, LanVision sold its centralized data center for $2,900,000.
Simultaneously therewith, LanVision entered into a one-year service agreement
with the buyer. Under the terms of this service agreement, which can be renewed
at the sole option of the Company, in exchange for processing fees, LanVision
will continue to use the data center to provide ASP services to LanVision's
current and future customers. Although LanVision sold the data center assets,
LanVision continues to market its ASP solutions, which include agreements with
eSmartHealth, Inc., now known as Smart Health Services and Provider HealthNet
Services, Inc., which agreements are discussed below. LanVision continues to
provide its ASP solutions through the data center and intends to utilize other
data center service providers.
In August 2000, LanVision entered into an agreement with Smart Health Services
(Smart), which allows Smart to utilize LanVision's MicroVision Electronic
Medical Record (EMR) product combined with Web-based Smart software to provide
affordable, Web-based EMR document management and viewing services to hospitals
and clinics via the Internet. Smart Health Services, in conjunction with their
affiliate Alpharetta, Georgia based Smart Professional Photocopy Corporation
d/b/a Smart Corporation, will distribute their services through Smart
Corporation's extensive sales distribution network which currently consists of
over 1,000 hospitals and 4,600 clinic customers throughout 46 states. LanVision
will be compensated for use of its software based upon the number of EMR images
Smart scans and stores using the MicroVision ASP application.
10
PAGE 9
In November 2000, LanVision entered into an agreement with Provider HealthNet
Services, Inc. (PHNS) which allows PHNS to offer LanVision's MicroVision EMR
product to provide EMR document management and viewing services to PHNS'
customer base. PHNS is a healthcare industry information technology and business
outsourcing company, which provides information technology and professional
management of information systems, medical records and related business
processes to hospitals and other healthcare providers on a shared basis to
improve healthcare services and reduce costs. The relationship with LanVision
will allow PHNS to more effectively use information technology and the LanVision
document imaging and management solution for medical records and other business
processes to improve healthcare services and reduce costs for its customers. The
LanVision ASP services allows PHNS to offer a state-of-the-art, Application
Service Provider-based EMR solution, an offering that contributes to increased
process efficiency for medical records functions. PHNS currently provides
medical record, transcription and/or coding management outsourcing services to
sixteen hospitals, many of which, LanVision was advised by PHNS, are considering
an EMR solution. The LanVision services to be provided by PHNS will be delivered
on an ASP basis through a centralized data center staffed by seasoned
information technology professionals with healthcare experience. LanVision will
be compensated by PHNS for use of its software based upon the number of
encounters, or patient visits, to each hospital using the LanVision EMR
software. PHNS is a privately held, Dallas based company which currently has
over 420 experienced healthcare information technology and business process
employees that provide outsourcing services to 16 hospitals in nine states.
To date, LanVision has recorded no revenues from Smart or PHNS and cannot
currently predict when revenues will be generated from these two new agreements.
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. Since
inception, LanVision has experienced extended sales cycles, which has 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 operating 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 LanVision's proprietary
software and third-party software with a perpetual or term license fee that is
adjusted depending on the number of concurrent users or workstations using the
software. Third-party hardware is 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. Alternatively, with LanVision's ASP services, the
agreements generally provide for utilizing LanVision's software and third-party
software on a fee per transaction or subscription basis.
Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when an agreement is signed
and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine installation,
integration and project management is deferred until the work is performed. If
an agreement requires LanVision 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. Revenues from consulting, training and
services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from short-term
support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the
agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of the
revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to
progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables.
The ASP Division was designed to overcome obstacles in the buying decision such
as large capital commitment, length of implementation, and the scarcity of time
for Healthcare Information Systems personnel to implement new systems. Customers
pay for such services on a per transaction or subscription basis, and the
centralized data center applications are operated and maintained by LanVision
personnel and/or its agents. In 1999, the ASP Division signed a four-year
contract with The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, a group of five
hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati Area, to provide outsourced data center
operations of its LanVision Electronic Medical Record System. LanVision believes
that more IDN's will begin to look for this type of ASP application.
Additionally, LanVision believes its business model is especially well suited
for the ambulatory marketplace. LanVision is actively pursuing remarketing
agreements with Healthcare Information Systems providers to distribute
LanVision's ASP solution.
In 1998, LanVision entered into a five year Remarketing Agreement with Siemens
Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation (SMS), formerly Shared Medical
Systems Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, SMS was granted an
exclusive worldwide license to distribute ChartVision, On-Line Chart Completion,
WebView and Enterprisewide Correspondence to the SMS customer base and prospect
base, as defined in the Agreement, and a non-exclusive license to distribute all
other LanVision products. If SMS distributes any other Electronic Medical Record
product competing with LanVision's products, LanVision may terminate the SMS
Remarketing Agreement.
Under the terms of the Agreement, SMS remits royalties to LanVision based upon
SMS sublicensing LanVision's software to SMS's customers. Twenty-five percent of
the royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS
executes the end-user license agreement with its customer. LanVision recognizes
this revenue upon receipt of the royalty statement. The remaining 75% of the
royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS commences
software implementation activities. LanVision records this revenue when the 75%
payment due from SMS is fixed and determinable, which is when the software
implementation activities commence. Through January 31, 2001, SMS has sold 14
systems to end-users, which represents approximately $4,319,000 in systems sales
royalties to LanVision.

(1) Because a significant percentage of the 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 nor are they necessarily
indicative of the future operations. 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.

revenues of $10,471,143 in fiscal year 1999, a decrease of $895,506 or 9%.
Revenues from systems sales in fiscal 2000 were $3,158,883, a decrease of
$351,215 or 10% of systems sales in fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2000, LanVision had
no new direct sales customers as most hospitals deferred implementation of new
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems until the final Federal Health Privacy
Regulations are promulgated, to comply
12
PAGE 11
with the requirements of HIPAA. However, LanVision's remarketing partner Siemens
Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation (SMS), formerly known as Shared
Medical Systems Corporation, sold six new systems to hospitals in addition to
the eight sold in the prior two years. Approximately, 85% of fiscal 2000
revenues came from fulfillment of backlog and add-on business, primarily
expansion and upgrades of systems for LanVision's existing clients, and 15% came
from the Remarketing Agreement, compared with 82% and 18%, respectively in
fiscal 1999. Systems sales from SMS were $912,808 in fiscal 2000 compared with
$1,142,420 in fiscal 1999. Revenues from services, maintenance and support in
fiscal 2000 were $5,626,716, a decrease of $965,550 or 15% in fiscal 1999. The
decrease results primarily from lower project management revenues for
professional services and system interfaces as no new systems were installed by
LanVision in fiscal 2000. Maintenance revenues in fiscal 2000 were $3,678,097,
an increase of $413,782, or 13% over maintenance revenues in fiscal 1999. The
increase in maintenance revenues in fiscal 2000 is primarily due to new
installations by our remarketing partner, and expansion of existing LanVision
client systems. Professional services revenues in fiscal 2000 were $1,948,619, a
decrease of $1,379,332, or 41% over professional services revenues in fiscal
1999. The decrease is directly related to the lack of implementation of new
systems in fiscal 2000, compared with fiscal 1999 when new versions of software
were installed to achieve Year 2000 compliance. Revenues for service bureau
operations increased $421,259, due to the conversion of one of our existing
customers from a software licensee to an ASP customer using our Application
Service Provider services. In fiscal 2000, three customers accounted for 30% of
the total revenues compared with 29% in fiscal 1999, exclusive of our
remarketing partners.
Revenues for fiscal 2000 and 1999 were less than LanVision's plan for each year.
The shortfall in revenues occurred for various reasons, including: significantly
lower spending on information technology by healthcare institutions on new
systems as hospitals spent significant amounts in 1998 and 1999 on remediation
of existing systems to ensure compliance with Year 2000 issues, and many
institutions delayed implementation in 2000 for new EMR systems until final
Federal Health Privacy Regulations to comply with HIPAA were issued. Buying
decisions at certain hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery networks are
influenced by recommendations of the largest Healthcare Information Systems
(HIS) vendors, including: Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation,
McKesson HBOC, Inc., Cerner Corporation, IDX Systems Corporation, Eclipsys
Corporation, etc. It continues to be difficult for companies with relatively
small sales forces to influence the buying decisions as effectively as the major
HIS vendors which is why LanVision has transitioned its distribution model from
a direct selling organization to indirect distribution, primarily through
remarketers and the ASP-based service delivery model.
A Remarketing Agreement with SMS was signed in 1998, and throughout fiscal 1998,
1999 and 2000, LanVision and SMS integrated the LanVision product line with the
SMS NOVIUS product. The final integration and testing of the products was
completed in late 2000. During 1998, 1999 and most of 2000, SMS remarketed
LanVision's products on a limited basis through their specialized document
imaging sales force. SMS successfully closed four new agreements for LanVision's
products in 1998 and four in 1999, and six new agreements in 2000. The fourteen
agreements represent approximately $4,319,332 in systems sales royalties to
LanVision. Approximately $912,808 and $1,142,420 of revenue was recognized in
2000 and 1999, respectively, and approximately $1,572,295 of revenue has not
been recognized until SMS commences software implementation. LanVision believes
a greater percentage of its future revenues will come from remarketing
agreements with SMS and other HIS vendors. LanVision continues to actively
pursue remarketing agreements with other companies.
LanVision believes the large HIS vendors, hospitals and integrated healthcare
delivery networks now have a better understanding of the valuable role the EMR
plays in providing a truly Computerized Patient Record (CPR). As more companies
demonstrate the significant economic and operating benefits of the EMR and other
imaging/management and workflow applications, LanVision believes the future
demand for its products and services will increase.
13
PAGE 12
Many new companies, such as WebMD Corporation and MedicaLogic/Medscape, Inc.
have emerged to provide healthcare applications through private Intranets or
secure applications on the Internet. Additionally, the traditional HIS companies
have developed clinical information systems for the Internet. LanVision's
applications are well suited for the Internet and private Intranets and, through
its ASP Division, customers can rapidly deploy and access healthcare information
using Web browser-based technology from a central data center on a per
transaction or subscription basis. LanVision believes healthcare organizations
will increase their use of healthcare applications through the Internet, and
LanVision's products are an integral part of providing a complete CPR across the
Internet. LanVision is actively pursuing strategic relationships with other
healthcare Application Service Providers.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales consists of cost of systems sales, cost of
services, maintenance and support and cost of service bureau operations. Cost of
systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software costs, royalties and
cost of third-party hardware and software. Cost of systems sales, as a
percentage of systems sales, varies from period-to-period depending on hardware
and software configurations of the systems sold. The cost of systems sales as a
percentage of revenues in fiscal 2000 and 1999 were 31% and 23%, respectively.
The higher costs in 2000 reflect lower margins on hardware and third-party
software components. Cost of services, maintenance and support includes salaries
and benefits for support and professional services personnel and the cost of
third-party maintenance contracts. Cost of services, maintenance and support as
a percentage of services, maintenance and support revenues in 2000 and 1999 were
59% and 61%, respectively. The cost of service bureau operations in 2000
represents primarily processing fees paid, under the service agreement, to the
buyer of the data center. In 1999, the cost of service bureau operations
represented the depreciation of equipment and the personnel and other operating
costs necessary to operate the central data center. The decrease in the cost in
2000 is due entirely as a result of the sale of the data center and LanVision's
utilization of only a portion of the central data center in exchange for
processing fees paid to the buyer.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, travel and living
expenses, trade shows, etc. for selling and marketing activities and general
corporate and administrative activities. In fiscal 2000, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $3,187,209 compared with $4,577,853 in fiscal 1999.
The decrease in fiscal 2000 is primarily attributed to: a further reduction in
staff as LanVision converted from a direct sales force to primarily an indirect
sales model through remarketing partners and others; and a reduction in
corporate expenses, primarily professional fees, property taxes and increases in
reserves which were not necessary in fiscal 2000.
PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Product research and development expenses in
fiscal 2000 were $1,674,383 compared with $2,166,441 in fiscal 1999. The
decrease reflects increased capitalized software development costs, and
reductions in rent, depreciation and miscellaneous other expenses. During 2000,
LanVision concentrated its development efforts to produce its new product,
accessANYware. LanVision capitalized $420,000 in product research and
development costs in fiscal 2000, compared with $300,000 in 1999.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income consists primarily of interest on cash
and cash equivalents. The increase results from higher average cash balances in
fiscal 2000 compared with fiscal 1999. Other, net results from the gain on the
sale of the data center in February 2000. Interest expense in 2000 and 1999 is
related to the $6,000,000 in outstanding debt and, in 2000, additional interest
on the unpaid long-term accrued interest payable to the lender.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. LanVision is in a tax loss carryforward position,
and is unable to recognize a tax benefit for losses because utilization of a tax
benefit for such losses is not assured. The tax loss carryfoward approximates
$29,000,000.
NET EARNINGS. Net earnings in fiscal year 2000 were $20,893 compared with a net
loss of $3,247,073 in fiscal 1999. The $3,267,966 change, results primarily from
a $2,649,587 reduction of the fiscal 1999 operating loss and an increase in
Other, net of $542,565 in fiscal 2000.
14
PAGE 13
Since commencing operations in 1989, LanVision has incurred substantial
operating losses. Although LanVision achieved profitability in fiscal years
2000, 1993 and 1992, LanVision incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994 through
1999. Based upon the expenses associated with current and planned staffing
levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing revenues. There can be no
assurance that LanVision 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. LanVision believes historical operating results are not
indicative of the future performance of LanVision in the long-term.
BACKLOG. At January 31, 2001, LanVision has master agreements or purchase orders
for systems and related services (excluding support and maintenance, and
transaction-based revenues for the ASP Division), which have not been delivered,
installed and accepted which, if fully performed, would generate future revenues
of approximately $4,255,000. The related products and services are expected to
be delivered over the next two to three years. In addition, customers contract
for maintenance and support services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. In
2000, maintenance and support revenues approximated $3,678,000 and are expected
to increase in fiscal 2001. Furthermore, the ASP Division has entered into a
service bureau agreement, which is expected to generate revenues in excess of
$2,000,000 over the remaining three-year life of the agreement.
COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1999 WITH 1998
REVENUES. Total revenues in fiscal year 1999 were $10,471,143 compared with
revenues of $12,010,011 in fiscal year 1998, a decrease of $1,538,868 or 13%.
Revenues from systems sales in fiscal 1999 were $3,510,098, a decrease of
$2,031,128 or 37%, over systems sales in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, LanVision
had no new direct sales customers as most hospitals deferred purchases while
completing Year 2000 compliance issues. In fiscal 1998, two new customers
accounted for $1,848,874 of systems sales.
Systems sales from our remarketing partner, SMS, were $1,142,420 in fiscal 1999
compared with $691,808 in fiscal 1998. The remaining balance of fiscal 1999
systems sales were to existing clients from fulfillment of backlog and add-on
business. Revenues from services, maintenance and support in fiscal 1999 were
$6,592,266, an increase of $1,018,416, or 18% over fiscal 1998. Maintenance
revenues in fiscal 1999 were $3,264,315, an increase of $509,301, or 18% over
maintenance revenues in fiscal 1998. The increase in maintenance revenues in
fiscal 1999 is primarily due to new installations in 1998 and expanded
installations in 1999. Professional services revenues in fiscal 1999 were
$3,327,951, an increase of $509,115, or 18% over professional services revenues
in fiscal 1998. The increase is directly related to implementation of new
versions of software to achieve Year 2000 compliance and project management
performed for SMS. Revenue from service bureau operations declined $526,156 due
to the termination of one contract. In fiscal 1999, three customers accounted
for 29% of the total revenues compared with 27% in fiscal 1998, exclusive of our
remarketing partner.
Revenues for fiscal year 1999 and 1998 were less than LanVision's plan for each
year. The shortfall in revenues occurred for a variety of reasons. First, the
healthcare industry has not moved forward as quickly as LanVision and many
others anticipated. For years, healthcare institutions spent significantly less
on information systems than other industries. However, despite the need to catch
up, existing HIS personnel are only able to absorb so much new technology. There
was a significant amount of new technology to assess, and there were wide
differences of opinions on how to prioritize the many information technology
projects. Many institutions began by replacing their clinical systems, and
looked at the EMR as a secondary priority. Consequently, LanVision experienced
very long sales cycles, and many cycles ended in no decision. Additionally, in
1998 and 1999, many healthcare organizations were preoccupied with Year 2000
compliance remediation for existing systems and deferred purchase decisions on
new systems. Buying decisions at certain hospitals and integrated healthcare
delivery networks are influenced by the recommendations of the largest HIS
vendors, including: Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation,
McKesson HBOC, Inc., Cerner Corporation, IDX Systems Corporation, Eclipsys
Corporation, etc. It has been difficult for companies with relatively small
sales
15
PAGE 14
forces to influence the buying decisions as effectively as the major HIS
vendors. Prior to LanVision's agreement with SMS in 1998, LanVision's products
were not actively promoted by any of the five largest HIS vendors.
A Remarketing Agreement with SMS was signed in 1998, and throughout fiscal 1998
and 1999 LanVision and SMS integrated the LanVision product line with the SMS
NOVIUS product and trained SMS personnel. During 1998 and 1999, SMS marketed
LanVision's products on a limited basis through their specialized document
imaging sales force. SMS successfully closed four new agreements for LanVision's
products in 1999 and four in 1998.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales consists of cost of systems sales, cost of
services, maintenance and support and cost of service bureau operations. Cost of
systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software costs, royalties and
cost of third-party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales, as a
percentage of systems sales, varies from period-to-period depending on the
hardware and software configuration of the systems sold. The costs of systems
sales as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 1999 and 1998 were 23% and 32%,
respectively. The lower costs in 1999 reflect a higher mix of LanVision software
with higher margins relative to the third-party hardware and software components
with lower margins and higher costs. Cost of services, maintenance and support
includes salaries and benefits for support and professional services personnel
and the cost of third-party maintenance contracts. Cost of services, maintenance
and support as a percentage of services, maintenance and support revenues in
1999 and 1998 were 61% and 100%, respectively. The improvement is primarily due
to reduced staffing and improved efficiency. The cost of service bureau
operations represents the depreciation of equipment and the personnel and other
operating costs necessary to operate the central data center, which was sold in
February 2000.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, travel and living
expenses, advertising, trade shows, brochures, etc. for selling and marketing
activities and general corporate and administrative activities. In fiscal 1999,
selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,577,853 compared with
$7,860,031 in fiscal 1998. The decrease in fiscal 1999 is primarily attributable
to a reduction in staff and the associated occupancy, travel and living costs
and trade shows, etc.
PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Product research and development expenses in
fiscal 1999 were $2,166,441 compared with $3,740,215 in fiscal 1998. The fiscal
1999 decrease reflects the use of significantly fewer outside contractors and
reduced staffing levels as a result of completing major development projects and
a deliberate effort to bring costs more in line with revenues. During 1999, new
releases of ChartVision, On-Line Chart Completion, Enterprisewide
Correspondence, OmniVision, WebView, and Foundation Suite were placed into
production. The software development and quality assurance staff averaged
seventeen employees in 1999 compared with an average of twenty-five employees in
1998. LanVision capitalized $300,000 in product research and development costs
in fiscal 1999 and $396,000 in 1998.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income in fiscal 1999 and 1998 consists
primarily of interest and gains on the sale of investment securities in 1998.
The decrease is due primarily to less interest on fewer investments as
securities were sold to fund operations. Other, net includes approximately
$1,100,000 related to a contract settlement with a customer. Interest expense in
1999 and 1998, is related to the $6,000,000 in outstanding long-term debt.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. LanVision 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.
NET LOSS. The net loss in fiscal 1999 was $3,247,073 compared with $10,925,970
in fiscal 1998. Fiscal 1999 net loss per share was $.37 compared with a net loss
per share in fiscal 1998 of $1.24. The $7,678,897 decrease in the fiscal 1999
net loss compared with 1998, results primarily from the reduction in operating
expenses.
16
PAGE 15
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the last five fiscal years, LanVision has funded its operations, working
capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash
generated by operations, an initial public offering and a $6,000,000 loan.
LanVision's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or medical
facilities with good credit histories, and payments have been received within
normal time frames for the industry. However, some healthcare organizations have
experienced significant operating losses as a result of limits on third-party
reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental entities. Agreements
with customers often involve significant amounts and contract terms typically
require customers to make progress payments.
LanVision has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than
noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $277,000,
payable over the next two years.
Over the last several years, LanVision's revenues were less than its internal
plans. However, during the same period, LanVision has expended significant
amounts for capital expenditures, product research and development, sales,
support and consulting expenses. This resulted in significant net cash outlays
over the last five years. Although LanVision has reduced staffing levels and
related expenses, and improved operating performance, LanVision's expenses may
continue to approximate its revenues. Accordingly, to continue to achieve
continuing profitability, and positive cash flow, it is necessary for LanVision
to increase revenues or continue to reduce expenses. LanVision believes that the
requirement for healthcare organizations to become HIPAA compliant should offer
a significant opportunity to increase revenues. Additionally, the SMS
Remarketing Agreement has significantly expanded the sales distribution
capabilities. LanVision believes that market opportunities are such that
LanVision should be able to increase its revenues. However, there can be no
assurance LanVision will be able to increase its revenues.
In February 2000, LanVision sold its Data Center for $2,900,000. LanVision
received $2,000,000 and the remaining $900,000 was received in twelve monthly
installments commencing March 1, 2000. The sale resulted in a gain of
approximately $1,400,000.
At January 31, 2001, LanVision had cash and cash equivalents of $8,549,732. Cash
equivalents consist primarily of overnight bank repurchase agreements and
short-term commercial paper. Under the terms of its loan agreement, as amended,
LanVision has agreed to maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance of
$5,300,000. During fiscal 2001, $1,000,000 of long-term debt is required to be
repaid to the lender.
LanVision has significantly reduced operating expenses during the last two
fiscal years, and believes it will continue to improve operating results in
fiscal 2001. However, based upon current expenditure levels and in the absence
of increased revenues, LanVision could continue to operate at a loss.
Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, LanVision will need to continually
assess its revenue prospects compared to its current expenditure levels. If it
does not appear likely that revenues will increase, it may be necessary to
further reduce operating expenses or raise cash through additional borrowings,
the sale of assets, or other equity financing. Certain of these actions will
require lender approval. However, there can be no assurance LanVision will be
successful in any of these efforts. If it is necessary to significantly reduce
operating expenses, this could have an adverse affect on future operating
performance.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on LanVision's revenues or
expenses. Additionally, LanVision does not have any significant market risk
exposure at January 31, 2001.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LanVision Systems, Inc. (the "Company") operates in one segment as a provider of
Healthcare Information Access Systems through the licensing of its Electronic
Medical Record software applications and the use of such applications through
its service bureau operations as an Application Service Provider. LanVision's
products enable hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery systems in the
United States to capture, store, manage, route, retrieve and process vast
amounts of patient clinical and financial information.
FISCAL YEAR
All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 components; product
support, maintenance and professional services; and service bureau operations
that provide high quality, transaction or subscription based document
imaging/management services from a central data center. LanVision's revenue
recognition policies conform to Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition. Generally, revenue from software license fees and hardware sales to
end-users is recognized when a master agreement is signed and products are
shipped. Revenue related to routine installation and integration and project
management is deferred until the work is performed. If a contract requires
LanVision 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, services and service
bureau operations 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.
Under the terms of a remarketing agreement with Shared Medical Systems
Corporation, now known as Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation
(SMS), royalties are remitted by SMS to LanVision based upon SMS sublicensing
LanVision's software to SMS's customers. Twenty-five percent of the royalty is
due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS executes the end-user
license agreement with its customer. LanVision recognizes this revenue upon
receipt of the royalty statement. The remaining seventy-five percent of the
royalty is due from SMS when software implementation activities commence.
LanVision records this revenue when the seventy-five percent payment due from
SMS is fixed and determinable, which is generally when software implementation
activities commence.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, short-term commercial paper
and overnight repurchase agreements. The long-term debt agreement (See Note 3.)
requires LanVision to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5,300,000.
22
PAGE 21
CONCENTRATIONS
Financial instruments, which potentially expose LanVision 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 accounts receivable. LanVision's accounts receivable are
concentrated in the healthcare industry. However, LanVision's customers
typically have been well-established hospitals or medical facilities with good
credit histories and payments have been received within normal time frames for
the industry. However, some healthcare organizations have experienced
significant operating losses as a result of limits on third-party reimbursements
from insurance companies and governmental entities.
To date, LanVision has relied on a limited number of customers and a remarketing
partner for a substantial portion of its total revenues. LanVision expects that
a significant portion of its future revenues will continue to be generated by a
limited number of customers and its remarketing partners. The failure to obtain
new customers or expand sales through remarketing partners, the loss of existing
customers or reduction in revenues from existing customers could materially and
adversely affect LanVision's operating results (See Note 6.).
LanVision 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 could adversely affect
operating results.
OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Other current assets are primarily: prepaid insurance, commissions, maintenance,
deposits and prepaid expenses related to future revenues.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line, half-year convention method (except for service bureau operations
which began depreciation of computer equipment and software when the assets were
placed in service), over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Computer equipment and software 3-4 years
Office equipment 5 years
Office furniture and fixtures 7 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
Depreciation expense for 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $542,530, $1,504,138 and
$1,758,264, 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. Once technological
feasibility has been determined, a portion of the 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.
LanVision capitalized $420,000, $300,000 and $396,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Research and development expense was $1,674,383, $2,166,441 and $3,740,215 in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
23
PAGE 22
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 $300,000, $180,000 and $258,332 in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
ACCRUED OTHER EXPENSES
Accrued other expenses at January 31, 2001 and 2000 include warranty reserves,
accrued franchise and property taxes, professional fees and other liabilities.
RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE
During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, LanVision restructured certain aspects
of its operations to flatten the management structure, reduce expenses in all
areas and, at the same time, improve customer service. Accordingly, LanVision
accrued $300,000 for the anticipated costs of severance and related taxes and
fringe benefits for the reduction of the work force by 16 people. The liability
was recorded as a current liability at the end of the second quarter of 1998 and
substantially all of the liability was paid during the third quarter of 1998. As
LanVision completed certain of its major software development projects, it has
been able to further reduce its staff and the use of outside contractors in
product development. As a result of the above reductions in staff, LanVision had
excess space at certain facilities. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998, a restructuring charge of $400,000 was accrued to downsize the then
existing facilities to the current and anticipated near-term needs. LanVision
has consolidated its offices and reduced its leased facilities. LanVision has no
remaining restructuring liability.
INCOME TAXES
The provisions for income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards 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.
STOCK OPTIONS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, establishes a fair value method of financial accounting and
reporting for stock-based compensation plans. LanVision 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.
OTHER INCOME
Other income, net, in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, results primarily from
the gain on the sale of the data center in February 2000 for $2,900,000.
LanVision entered into a one-year Service Provider Agreement with the purchaser
to continue to use the data center under a fee-for-service agreement which can
be renewed at the sole option of the Company. Other income, net, in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1999, includes approximately $1,100,000 related to a contract
settlement with a customer.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The net earnings (loss) per common share is computed in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. The
basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The diluted net
earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
Stock Options and Warrants were exercised into Common Stock, under certain
circumstances, that then would share in the earnings of LanVision. The diluted
net (loss) per common share calculation, in fiscal 1999 and 1998, excludes the
effect of the Stock Options and Warrants, as the inclusion thereof would be
antidilutive.
24
PAGE 23
2. OPERATING LEASES
LanVision rents office space and equipment under noncancelable operating leases
that expire in fiscal 2002. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable
operating leases for the next two fiscal years are as follows: 2001, $155,170;
2002, $121,950. Rent expense was $217,000, $370,720 and $812,470 for fiscal
years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
In 1998, LanVision issued a $6,000,000 note to The HillStreet Fund, L.P., which
bears interest at 12%, payable monthly. The note is repayable in quarterly
installments of $500,000 commencing October 2001 through July 2004. LanVision
has the option to prepay at any time, in full, the outstanding balance of the
note upon the payment of a Special Prepayment Fee. The Special Prepayment Fee
shall be equal to the amount of the Yield Guarantee to Maturity of 25%,
discounted to the present value to the date of payment in full of the Loan,
using an assumed discount rate of 6%, minus the amount of the interest prepaid
on September 5, 2000, in the amount of $1,000,000, compounded at an assumed
interest rate of 6% through the date of the payment in full of the Loan. The
note is secured by all of the assets of LanVision and the loan agreement, as
amended, restricts LanVision from incurring additional indebtedness for borrowed
money, including capitalized leases, limits certain investments, restricts
substantial asset sales, capital expenditures, cash dividends, stock
repurchases, and mergers and consolidations with unaffiliated entities without
lender consent. In addition, LanVision is required to meet certain financial
covenants, including minimum levels of revenues, earnings, and net worth. Also,
the loan agreement requires LanVision to maintain a minimum cash balance of
$5,300,000.
In connection with the issuance of the note, LanVision issued Warrants to
purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $3.87 per share at any
time through July 16, 2008. The Warrants are subject to customary antidilution
and registration rights provisions.
Under the terms of the loan agreement, LanVision has guaranteed the lender that
the increase in the market value of the stock underlying the Warrants, at the
time of loan maturity, over the exercise price plus the 12% interest paid on the
loan will yield the lender a 25% compound annual return. If the yield from the
Warrants plus interest paid does not provide the lender with the guaranteed
return, LanVision is required to pay the additional amount in cash at the time
of maturity. Accordingly, LanVision is accruing interest on the loan at a 25%
compound interest rate, regardless of the market value of the stock and the
inherent value of the Warrants. In July, 2002, LanVision has a one-time option
to repay, in full, the outstanding balance of the note, and should LanVision
exercise its prepayment option in July, 2002, then the minimum guaranteed rate
of return is increased to 30%. However, to the extent that the computed minimum
compound annual rate of return exceeds 30% at the date of the prepayment, the
Company has the right to cancel up to 150,000 Warrants.
In addition, the founders and majority shareholders of the Company have
consented to certain restrictions on the sale or transfer of their shares.
Maturities of long-term debt are as follows: fiscal year 2001, $1,000,000; 2002,
$2,000,000; 2003, $2,000,000; 2004, $1,000,000.
LanVision believes the fair market value of the long-term debt and its
accompanying Warrants approximates the carrying value.
The Company was in compliance with all of the amended terms and conditions of
the loan agreement as of January 31, 2001.
25
PAGE 24
4. INCOME TAXES
LanVision had no income tax expense or (benefit) for 2000, 1999 and 1998.

PAGE 25
5. RETIREMENT PLAN
LanVision has established a 401(k) retirement plan that covers substantially all
employees. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. To date, no Company contributions have been made to the
plan.
6. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
During fiscal 2000, three customers, exclusive of our remarketing partner,
accounted for 11%, 10% and 8% of total revenues. During fiscal 1999, three
customers accounted for 10%, 9% and 9% of total revenues. During fiscal 1998,
three customers accounted for 10%, 9% and 8% of total revenues. At January 31,
2001 and 2000, 30% and 69%, respectively, of LanVision's accounts receivable
were due from three customers.
7. STOCK OPTION PLANS
LanVision 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, LanVision adopted the disclosure only provisions of
Statement 123. All of LanVision'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.
LanVision'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 22,275 options which were granted in fiscal 1995,
and became fully vested and exercisable on December 1, 1996. At January 31,
2001, options to purchase 549,275 shares of the Company's Common Stock have been
granted under the Plan.
LanVision'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 three years of continuous service as a Director from the date of
grant. Options for 50,000 shares have been granted under this plan, of which
5,000 options are excercisable and vested. In addition, non-qualified stock
options to purchase 5,000 shares were granted to a Director in April 1996, and
are exercisable and vested.
LanVision also issued non-qualified stock options to purchase 99,841 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, 69,778 were granted in fiscal 1995,
with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, and expired in fiscal 2000. The
remaining 30,063 options were granted in 1990, with a term of approximately
eleven years and became exercisable in 1991 at an aggregate price of $1.00.
Stock options for 10,000 shares were exercised in fiscal 1999 and 20,063 shares
were exercised in fiscal 2000.
Pro forma information regarding the net (loss) and net (loss) per common share
is required by Statement 123, has been determined as if LanVision 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
2000, 1999 and 1998: risk-free interest rates of 5.15% in 2000; 6.4% in 1999 and
5.0% in 1998; a dividend yield of zero
27
PAGE 26
percent; a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's
Common Stock of .935 in 2000; .907 in 1999 and .911 in 1998, 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 that 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 LanVision's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of its stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the average vesting period of the options.
LanVision's pro forma information is as follows:

is a change in beneficial ownership, or authority to vote, directly or
indirectly, securities representing 20% or more of the total of all of
LanVision's then outstanding voting securities, unless through a transaction
arranged by, or consummated with the prior approval of the Board of Directors.
Other change in control provisions relate to mergers and acquisitions or a
determination of change in control by the Company's Board of Directors.

June 30 of each year, the plan acquires for the benefit of the employees shares
of Common Stock at the lesser of (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on July 1, of the prior year, or (b) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on June 30, of the current year.
