NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per-share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Allscripts”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, was derived from Allscripts’ audited financial statements. The quarterly financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with Allscripts’ audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with those consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the year. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognized in the prepackaged medications segment, from the sale of medications, net of provisions for estimated returns, is recognized upon shipment of the pharmaceutical products, the point at which the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, when no performance obligations remain and collection of the receivable is probable. Allscripts offers the right of return on pharmaceutical products under various policies, and estimates and maintains reserves for product returns based on historical experience following the provisions of FAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists.”

Revenue recognized in the TouchWorks^{^™} business included in our software and related services segment, from software licensing arrangements where the service element is considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement, is accounted for under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type Contracts and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” Allscripts recognizes such revenue on an input basis using actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required by the arrangement, provided that the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the receivable is probable. Maintenance and support from these agreements is recognized over the term of the support agreement based on vendor-specific evidence of fair value of the maintenance revenue, which is generally based upon contractual renewal rates. For agreements that are deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue is recognized as amounts become payable.

Revenue recognized in the TouchWorks^{^™} and AIC businesses included in our software and related services segment, from software licensing arrangements where the service element is not considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement is accounted for under SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.” Such revenue is recognized upon shipment of the software or as services are performed, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are considered fixed and determinable, and collection of the receivable is considered probable. The revenue recognized for each separate element of a multiple-element software contract is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, which is based upon the price the customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately. For agreements that are deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue is recognized as amounts become payable.

Certain of our customer arrangements in our software and related services and information services segments include multiple deliverables. We account for these arrangements in accordance with EITF No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21). If the deliverables meet the criteria in EITF 00-21, the deliverables are separated into separate units of accounting and revenue is allocated to the deliverables based on their relative fair values. The criteria specified in EITF 00-21 are that the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered for each separate unit of accounting. Management applies judgment to ensure appropriate application of EITF 00-21, including value allocation among multiple deliverables, determination of whether undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of delivered elements and timing of revenue recognition, among others. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting, revenue from all deliverables are treated as one accounting unit and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement. Changes in circumstances and customer data may affect management’s analysis of EITF 00-21 criteria, which may cause Allscripts to adjust upward or downward the amount of revenue recognized under the arrangement.

As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, there was $1,679 and $1,066 of revenue earned on contracts in excess of billings, which is included in the balance of accounts receivable. Billings on contracts where revenue has been earned in excess of billings are expected to occur according to the contract terms. Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consisted of the following:


	September 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
Billings in excess of revenue earned on contracts in progress for software, services and support provided by the TouchWorks^™ business included in our software and related services segment	$	8,639	$	4,765
Prepayments and billings in excess of revenue earned for interactive physician education sessions and transaction revenue services provided by the Physicians Interactive^™ business included in our information services segment		4,150		4,849
Prepayments and billings in excess of revenue earned for document imaging and scanning products, services and support provided by the AIC business included in our software and related services segment		840		1,019
Other prepayments and billings in excess of revenue		130		326

Total deferred revenue	$	13,759	$	10,959

3. Stock-Based Compensation Cost

Allscripts applies the provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. Allscripts has elected to continue to account for its stock-based compensation programs according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized based on the intrinsic value of compensatory options or shares granted under the plans.

Had Allscripts elected to apply the provisions of FAS 123 regarding recognition of compensation expense to the extent of the calculated fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, reported net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2004			2003			2004			2003
Net income (loss), as reported	$	742		$	(918	)	$	1,705		$	(5,095	)

Stock-based compensation cost		(2,114	)		(5,213	)		(8,986	)		(14,340	)

Pro forma net loss	$	(1,372	)	$	(6,131	)	$	(7,281	)	$	(19,357	)

Net income (loss) per share—basic and diluted, as reported	$	0.02		$	(0.02	)	$	0.04		$	(0.13	)

Pro forma net loss per share—basic and diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.19	)	$	(0.50	)

4.	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Cash and cash equivalent balances at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consist of cash and highly liquid corporate debt securities with maturities at the time of purchase of less than 90 days. Allscripts’ cash, cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities and long-term marketable securities are invested in overnight repurchase agreements, money market funds and corporate debt securities. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities and long-term marketable securities held by Allscripts are as follows:


	September 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash	$	6,532	$	3,609
Money market funds		15,687		2,232
U.S. government and agency debt obligations		6,996		—
Corporate debt securities		18,113		7,495

		47,328		13,336

Short-term marketable securities:
Corporate debt securities		9,330		2,164
U.S. government and agency debt obligations		5,895		1,271

		15,225		3,435

Long-term marketable securities:
Corporate debt securities		47,444		21,014
U.S. government and agency debt obligations		14,580		13,524

		62,024		34,538

Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	124,577	$	51,309

In July 2004, Allscripts completed a private placement of $82,500 of 3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2024 (“Notes”). These Notes can be converted, in certain circumstances, into approximately 7,300 shares of common stock based upon a conversion price of approximately $11.26 per share, subject to adjustment for certain events. Allscripts received approximately $79,652 in net proceeds from the offering after deduction for underwriting fees and professional expenses. Allscripts used approximately $11,250 of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 1,399 shares of its common stock, which will be held in treasury, and will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include future additional share repurchases, acquisitions or other strategic investments (see Note 8).

5. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax, consist of unrealized gains and losses on Allscripts marketable securities of $(217) and $102, at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2004		2003			2004			2003
Net income (loss)	$	742	$	(918	)	$	1,705		$	(5,095	)
Other comprehensive income:
Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities, net of taxes		39		(193	)		(319	)		(331	)

Comprehensive income (loss)	$	781	$	(1,111	)	$	1,386		$	(5,426	)

6. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Allscripts accounts for net income (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” which requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. For purposes of calculating diluted loss per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist primarily of stock options. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2004	2003	2004	2003
Weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic	38,803	38,628	39,146	38,509
Effect of dilutive securities (primarily stock options)	2,361	—	2,614	—

Diluted	41,164	38,628	41,760	38,509

FAS No. 128 requires all anti-dilutive securities, including stock options, to be excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, due to Allscripts’ net loss, 946 and 392 dilutive securities, respectively, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

On September 30, 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share.” Effective December 15, 2004, contingently convertible debt instruments are subject to the if-converted method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, regardless of the contingent features included in the instrument assuming the shares are not anti-dilutive. If the provisions of EITF 04-8 were effective for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the as-if convertible 7,300 shares and interest expense related to the 3.5% convertible senior notes due 2024 that were issued in July 2004 would have been excluded from the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. Investment in Promissory Note Receivable and Minority Interest

On August 18, 2004, Allscripts entered into a Convertible Secured Promissory Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Medem Inc. (“Medem”) and certain other investors (the “Co-Investors”). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Allscripts acquired a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,100 (“Promissory Note”) under which Medem may borrow up to $2,100 from Allscripts. The Promissory Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3% and is payable on a quarterly basis. The Promissory Note becomes due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) a sale of Medem, as defined or the filing of a registration statement with the SEC for public offering of any class of securities of Medem (a “Liquidity Event”), and (ii) August 12, 2007. In addition, upon consummation of a Liquidity Event, each Promissory Note holder will receive, as a premium in addition to the repayment of the outstanding principal and interest due and payable under such Promissory Note, an amount equal to two (2) times the maximum amount that Medem may borrow under such Promissory Note. As of September 30, 2004, Allscripts funded $600 under the Note Purchase Agreement.

At any time on or prior to maturity, Allscripts may convert all (but not a portion) of the Promissory Note into 2,100 shares of Medem’s Series A Common Stock. Borrowings under the Promissory Note are not permitted (i) more than once per calendar quarter, (ii) later than the forty-fifth (45^th) day after the end of the previous calendar quarter, and (iii) in amounts greater than $750 per calendar quarter, without the prior written consent of Allscripts and the majority of the Co-Investors. In addition, in order for Medem to make borrowings under the Promissory Note, Medem must have satisfied certain financial targets.

In connection with the transaction described above, Allscripts entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Allscripts purchased shares of Medem’s Series A Common Stock and shares of Medem’s Series B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $500 in cash. In addition, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, Allscripts has a three-year option to acquire an additional interest in Medem for an aggregate price of $600. If Allscripts converts all of its Promissory Note and exercises its option to purchase an additional interest in Medem, it will own

approximately 50.4% of the voting capital of Medem and 40.5% of all of the capital stock of Medem. The total investment in the Promissory Note and Share Purchase Agreement totaling $1,100 as of September 30, 2004 has been recorded under the cost basis of accounting in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

8. Long-Term Debt

The Notes are only convertible under certain circumstances, including: (i) during any fiscal quarter if the closing price of Allscripts’ common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter exceeds $14.64 per share; (ii) if Allscripts calls the Notes for redemption; or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate transactions, as defined. Upon conversion, Allscripts has the right to deliver common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. Allscripts may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash any time on or after July 20, 2009 at the Notes’ full principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Holders of the Notes may require Allscripts to repurchase some or all of the Notes on July 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019 or, subject to certain exceptions, upon a change of control of Allscripts.

Allscripts received approximately $79,652 in net proceeds from the offering after deduction for issuance costs consisting of underwriting fees and professional expenses. The debt issuance costs of approximately $2,848 have been capitalized as an other asset and is being amortized as interest expense over five years using the effective interest method, through the first date that the holders have the option to require Allscripts to purchase the Notes. Long-term debt outstanding consists of the following:


	September 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
3.5% Senior Convertible Debt	$	82,500	$	—

Current portion of long-term debt		—		—

Total long-term debt	$	82,500	$	—

Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 consisted of $676 in interest expense and $154 in debt issuance cost amortization. No interest expense was recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003.

9. Business Segments

FAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance

Allscripts currently organizes its business around groups of similar products, which results in three reportable segments being reported: prepackaged medications; software and related services; and information services. The prepackaged medications segment derives its revenue from the repackaging, sale, and distribution of medications and medical supplies. The software and related services segment derives its revenue from the sale and installation of software that provides point-of-care decision support solutions, document imaging solutions, and the resale of related hardware. The information services segment primarily derives its revenue from the sale of interactive physician education sessions and transaction revenue. Allscripts does not report its assets by segment. Allscripts does not allocate interest income, interest expense, other income or income taxes to its operating segments. In addition, Allscripts records corporate selling, general, and administrative expenses, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and other related charges in its unallocated corporate costs. These costs are not included in the evaluation of the financial performance of Allscripts’ operating segments.

Overview

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions is a leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions for physicians. We provide three key product and service offerings, each of which focus on the physician. Our software and services segment is comprised primarily of our TouchWorks^™ software business and our AIC electronic document imaging and scanning solutions business. TouchWorks^™ is a modular electronic medical record (mEMR^™) designed to enhance physician productivity using a Tablet PC, wireless handheld device or desktop workstation to automate the most common physician activities. Our acquisition of AIC in 2003, provides us with document imaging and scanning technology for TouchWorks^™, and a product offering for physician practices that TouchWorks^™ traditionally has not targeted. During March 2004, we announced a new downloadable electronic prescribing solution, TouchScript.NET^™, designed specifically for small and independent physicians. The new TouchScript.NET product offering is included in our software and services segment. Our information services segment is comprised primarily of our Physicians Interactive^™ (PI) business. PI links physicians with pharmaceutical companies, managed care and medical suppliers using interactive education sessions to provide product information. Our acquisition of certain assets and assumed liabilities of RxCentric during August 2003 have been fully integrated into the PI business. The RxCentric acquisition was made to expand our domestic client base and international market for our information services business. Finally, our prepackaged medications segment is comprised of our Allscripts Direct^™ business. Allscripts Direct^™ provides point-of-care medication and medical supply management solutions for physicians. We believe that our TouchWorks^™, AIC and Physicians Interactive^™ products and service offerings represent our largest potential for growth.

The composition of our revenue is as follows (unaudited):

Cost of revenue for the software and related services segment consists primarily of the salaries, bonuses and benefits of our billable professionals, third party software costs, hardware costs, capitalized software amortization and other direct engagement costs. Cost of revenue for the information services segment consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits of our program management and program development personnel, costs to recruit physicians and other program management costs. Cost of revenue for the prepackaged medications segment consists primarily of the cost of the medications, the salaries, bonuses and benefits for the repackaging personnel, shipping costs, repackaging facility costs and other costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits for management and support personnel, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization, general operating expenses, non-capitalizable product development expenses, and selling and marketing expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for each segment consist of expenses directly related to that segment.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003

Prepackaged Medications

Prepackaged medications revenue increased by 7.5%, or $821, from $10,990 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $11,811 for the same period in 2004. Prepackaged medications revenue increased by 3.3%, or $1,113, from $34,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $35,391 for the same period in 2004. The increase in revenue for both periods is due primarily to an increase in bulk sales to wholesale customers and a pricing increase in brand medications due to inflationary factors, offset by a decrease in revenue due to a change in product mix from more expensive brand medications to generic as a result of new generic vendor product offerings for 2004 and due to a decrease in the overall customer base as a result of competitive factors and trends experienced in the repackaging marketplace. We expect these factors in the sales environment to continue in the foreseeable future.

Gross profit for the prepackaged medications segment decreased by 4.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $2,300 in the third quarter of 2003 to $2,190 in same period in 2004. Gross profit for the prepackaged medications segment decreased by 6.3%, or $471, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $7,435 in the first nine months of 2003 to $6,964 in same period in 2004. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 18.5% in the third quarter of 2004 from 20.9% in the same period in 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 19.7% in the first nine months of 2004 from 21.7% in the same period in 2003. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue for both periods in 2004 is due primarily to a change in the mix of revenue, reflecting an increase in bulk sales to wholesale customers which have a significantly lower gross margin than sales of prepackaged medications to our traditional physician customers. Gross profit for prepackaged medications only (i.e., excluding bulk sales to wholesale customers) as a percentage of revenue was 24.0% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to 21.3% and 22.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively.

Operating expenses for prepackaged medications for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 4.3% from $442 during the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $423 for the same period in 2004. Operating expenses for prepackaged medications for the nine months decreased by 9.5% from $1,408 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $1,275 for the same period in 2004. This decrease for the three and nine month period was primarily due to a reduction in headcount in the sales and services department.

Software and Related Services

Software and related services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 33.5%, or $2,754, from $8,232 in the third quarter of 2003 to $10,986 in the same period of 2004. Software and related services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 48.7%, or $9,767, from $20,048 in the nine months of 2003 to $29,815 in the same period in 2004. The increase in both periods reflects the implementation of our integrated content and clinical workflow products to new customers during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2004, as well as the add-on of additional software modules and the continuation and completion of implementations for existing customers. The increase in revenue during the three and nine month periods in 2004 also is reflective of AIC revenue from our electronic document imaging and scanning solutions. AIC was acquired in August 2003.

Gross profit for software and related services increased by 68.1%, or $3,000, from $4,405 in the third quarter of 2003 to $7,405 in the third quarter of 2004. Gross profit for software and related services increased by 106.3%, or $9,849, from $9,262 in the first nine months of 2003 to $19,111 in the same period in 2004. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 67.4% in the third quarter of 2004 from 53.5% in the same period in 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 64.1% in the first nine months of 2004 from 46.2% in the same period in 2003. The increase in both gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue for both periods in 2004 resulted from the increase in revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, including the addition of AIC. In addition, the increase was due to our ongoing concentrated efforts to reduce our costs of implementation, training, and support. The gross profit improvement is also due to a decrease in depreciation expense from hardware used at our smaller physician sites. These gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue improvements were partially offset by an increase in the amortization of capitalized software and an increase in revenue sharing royalties.

Operating expenses for software and related services for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 5.1%, or $254, from $5,028 in 2003 to $4,774 in 2004. Operating expenses for software and related services for the nine months increased by 6.5%, or $865, from $13,362 in 2003 to $14,227 in 2004. The decrease in operating expenses during the third quarter of 2004 was primarily due to a reduction in net marketing expenses resulting from an increase in third party marketing funding and due to an increase in capitalized development costs, partially offset by the additional operating expenses resulting from the AIC acquisition. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was primarily the result of additional operating expenses from the AIC acquisition, which was offset by an increase in capitalized development costs during that period. All development costs are capitalized pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, software development costs in the amount of $3,394 and $1,134, respectively, were capitalized.

Information Services

Information services revenue decreased by 11.3 %, or $369, from $3,266 in the third quarter of 2003 to $2,897 in the same period in 2004. Information services revenue increased by 17.7%, or $1,389 from $7,862 in the nine months of 2003 to $9,251 in the nine months of 2004. The decrease in the information services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 reflects pricing discounts that were given to our large domestic pharmaceutical customers and by a more difficult sales environment, resulting from the issues raised by the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) in 2003 regarding physician marketing activities by pharmaceutical manufacturers. Such declines were partially offset by an increase in the number of e-detailing programs completed on a year over year basis. The increase in the information services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily was due to an

increase in the number of e-detailing programs completed on a year over year basis, an increase in transaction revenue, and the revenue contribution of RxCentric, which was acquired in August 2003. Such increases were partially offset by pricing discounts that were given to our large domestic pharmaceutical customers and by a more difficult sales environment, resulting from the OIG issues raised in 2003.

Gross profit for the information services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 24.0% from $1,950 in the third quarter of 2003 to $1,482 in same period in 2004. Gross profit for the information services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 9.1%, from $4,663 in the nine months of 2003 to $4,237 in same period in 2004. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 51.2% and 45.8% for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2004, respectively from 59.7% and 59.3% in the same periods in 2003. The decrease in both gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue for both periods are the result of a more difficult sales environment as discussed above and a change in product mix as a result of the acquisition of RxCentric, whose products have a lower margin than the historical PI business contracts. In addition the adoption of EITF No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21) resulted in a decrease in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue due to transitional timing differences on the recognition of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003 in which EITF No. 00-21 was not effective.

Operating expenses for information services for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased from $794 in the third quarter of 2003 to $810 in the same period in 2004. Operating expenses for information services for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased from $1,972 in the nine months of 2003 to $2,444 in the same period in 2004. The increase in both periods was due primarily to the addition of operating expenses from our RxCentric acquisition.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased from $3,649 in the third quarter of 2003 to $3,883 in the same period of 2004. Unallocated corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased from $10,795 in the nine months of 2003 to $10,681 in the same period of 2004. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses during the third quarter of 2004 was due primarily to an increase in intangible amortization expense due to the AIC and RxCentric acquisitions and an increase in overall corporate salary expense due to an increase in headcount. These additional costs incurred during the third quarter of 2004 were partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of fixed assets that became fully depreciated subsequent to September 30, 2003. The decrease in unallocated corporate expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was due primarily to a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of fixed assets that became fully depreciated subsequent to September 30, 2003, a reduction in state fees in 2004 and proceeds received from a legal settlement in the first quarter of 2004, offset by an increase in intangible amortization expense due to the AIC and RxCentric acquisitions and an increase in overall corporate salary expense due to an increase in headcount.

Interest and Other Income

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $436 as compared to $322 for the same period in 2003. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $873 as compared to $1,143 for the same period in 2003. The increase in interest income during the third quarter of 2004 reflects the net proceeds of $79,652 received in the private placement of $82,500 of 3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures completed in July 2004, offset by $11,250 of the net proceeds that were used to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock. The decrease in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily due to lower returns on our invested cash and marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $124,577 and $51,309, respectively. This net increase of $73,268 reflects the net proceeds of $79,652 received in our convertible debt offering, net cash generated from operations of $8,290 and cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $2,597, partially offset by capitalized software and website development costs of $3,407, $1,105 in capital expenditures, $1,100 used in the investment in a promissory note receivable and minority interest and $11,250 that was used to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock.

Our working capital increased by $41,125 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $17,392 at December 31, 2003 to $58,517 as of September 30, 2004. The increase in working capital is due primarily to the net increase of $73,268 in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities for the nine-month period. At September 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $556,812.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which was primarily due to our net income of $1,705 generated during the nine month period, net income reconciling items of $3,693, positive cash contribution from an improvement in inventory levels totaling $836, accounts payable improvement of $656, a benefit in prepaid expenses and other assets of $673 which is primarily due to the timing of prepayment insurance related items that were paid in 2003, and a net increase of $375 in deferred revenue and accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $45,269 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which primarily consisted of $39,518 in net purchases of marketable securities, $3,407 in capitalized software and website development costs, $1,100 investment in Medem, Inc., and $1,105 in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $70,971 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which was primarily due to the net proceeds of $79,652 received in our private placement of $82,500 of 3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2024 (“Notes”), $2,597 in cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $11,250 that was used to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock.

Future Capital Requirements

Our primary future cash needs will be to fund working capital, service approximately $2,888 in interest payments on our Notes, capital expenditures in the range of $3,000 to $4,000 over the next four quarters, potential of $1,500 in additional Medem funding, product development, including our TouchScript.NET ^{^™} product offering, sales and use tax considerations, and approximately $1,800 in remaining holdback payments related to our AIC acquisition. We had capital expenditures totaling $1,105 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling approximately $124,577 as of September 30, 2004 will be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash needs of our current business for the next 12 months. However, we cannot provide assurance that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than we currently expect. We will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of, or investment in, complementary businesses, products, services and technologies, which might impact our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue additional equity or debt securities.

If sources of liquidity are not available or if we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations during the next twelve months, we might be required to obtain additional sources of funds through additional operating improvements, capital market transactions, asset sales or financing from third parties, or a combination thereof. We cannot provide assurance that these additional sources of funds will be available or, if available, would have reasonable terms.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as operating lease contract obligations are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at September 30, 2004 including the obligations relating to the relocation of our corporate headquarters scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2004 (see below), and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods:


	Total		Remainder of 2004		2005 –2006		2007-2008		2009+
Contractual obligations:
Non-cancelable capital leases	$	130	$	20	$	110	$	—	$	—
Non-cancelable operating leases		7,698		353		2,699		2,217		2,429
3.5% Senior convertible debt		82,500		—		—		—		82,500

Total contractual obligations	$	92,128	$	373	$	4,609	$	2,217	$	84,929

Our acquisition payment obligation consists of a $1,800 holdback provision in connection with the acquisition of AIC. The holdback amount was established to provide for certain contingencies and financial items, as defined. We anticipate that we will make payment on this holdback obligation during the first quarter of 2005.

In July 2004, we completed a private placement of $82,500 of 3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2024 (“Notes”), we are obligated to pay approximately $1,444 in interest payments every six months under the Notes, payable on July 15 and January 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2005. These Notes can be converted, in certain circumstances, into approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock based upon a conversion price of approximately $11.26 per share, subject to adjustment for certain events (see footnote 8 to the consolidated financial statements).

During the second quarter of 2004 we elected to reduce our Libertyville executive and operating facilities by approximately 17,800 square feet, effective on January 1, 2005. This reduction in facility space was made due to our planned move of our corporate headquarters to a new location in downtown Chicago during the fourth quarter of 2004. The majority of our operations will remain at the Libertyville location. The new corporate facility lease will consist of a ten-year lease for approximately 13,000 square feet.

In August 2004, Allscripts entered into a Convertible Secured Promissory Note Purchase Agreement with Medem Inc. in the aggregate principal amount of $2,100 under which Medem may borrow up to $2,100 from Allscripts. We have funded $600 under the Note Purchase Agreement as of September 30, 2004, (see footnote 7 to the consolidated financial statements).

A full discussion of all critical accounting policies is included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Safe Harbor For Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” and statements we or our representatives make may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We develop forward-looking statements by combining currently available information with our beliefs and assumptions. These statements often contain words like believe, expect, anticipate, intend, contemplate, seek, plan, estimate or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance. Recognize these statements for what they are and do not rely upon them as facts.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this report. We make these statements under the protection afforded them by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because we cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that may affect us, or control the ones we do predict, our actual results may be materially different from the results we express in our forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

For a more complete discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may affect us, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of September 30, 2004, we did not own any derivative instruments, but we were exposed to market risks, primarily due to changes in U.S. interest rates. Our 3.5% Senior Convertible debt bears a fixed interest rate, and accordingly, the fair market value of the debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. We have no cash flow or earnings exposure due to market interest rate changes for our fixed debt obligation. As of September 30, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in financial instruments of $124,577. Declines in interest rates over time will reduce our interest income from our investments. Based upon our balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2004, a decrease in interest rates of 1.0% would cause a corresponding decrease in our annual interest income of approximately $1,246.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2004, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based on their review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective.

In connection with the evaluation by management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), no changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
