| (1) | Description of the Plan | |
| The following brief description of the Cerner Corporation Foundation Retirement Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). | ||
| General | ||
| The Plan was adopted by the board of directors of Cerner Corporation (the Company or Employer) effective November 1, 1987. All associates of the Company are eligible for participation in the Plan upon attaining age 18 except for: |
| • | Associates whose employment is governed by a collective bargaining agreement under which retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining, unless such agreement expressly provides for participation in the Plan; | ||
| • | Certain non-resident aliens who have no earned income from sources within the United States of America; | ||
| • | Leased associates; or | ||
| • | Associates who were previously not treated as associates of the Employer, but who are reclassified as being associates. |
| Participant Contributions | ||
| Participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions from 1% to 80% of their eligible compensation each year to the Plan, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations (not to exceed $15,500 in 2007 and $15,000 in 2006). Participants whose Plan entry date was October 1, 2005 or later automatically have 3% withheld from their compensation unless they elect a lesser percentage or to withdraw from the plan. Additionally, participants who attained the age of 50 during 2007 and 2006 were able to contribute an additional $5,000 catch-up contribution. Participants also may generally contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. For 2006 and the first nine months of 2007, these investment options included Company common stock, the American Century Ultra Investors Mutual Fund, the American Century Growth Investors Mutual Fund, the American Century Equity Index Fund, the American Century Strategic Moderate Fund, the American Century Value Mutual Fund, the American Century Small Capital Value Mutual Fund, the American Century Stable Asset Fund, the American Century Strategic Conservative Fund, the American Century Strategic Aggressive Fund, the Julius Baer International Equity A Fund, and the Charles B. Schwab Personal Choice Account. For the last three months of 2007, the investment options included Company common stock, the TRP Retirement 2005 fund, the TRP Retirement 2010 fund, the TRP Retirement 2015 fund, the TRP Retirement 2020 fund, the TRP Retirement 2025 fund, the TRP Retirement 2030 fund, the TRP Retirement 2035 fund, the TRP Retirement 2040 fund, the TRP Retirement 2045 fund, the TRP Retirement 2050 fund, the TRP Retirement 2055 fund, the Brokeragelink fund, the Cerner Stable Value fund, The ABF Large Capital Value fund, the Loomis Investment Grade Bond fund, the Hartford Capital Appreciation fund, the AF Growth of America fund, the American Century Small Capital Investment fund, the Fidelity Freedom fund, the Spartan Extended Market Index fund, the Spartan US Equity Index fund, and the Julius Baer International Equity A Fund. |

| Company Contributions – First-Tier Match | ||
| If the Company elects in a given plan year to make the first-tier match, all eligible participants contributing to the Plan will receive a matching contribution equal to 33% of the participant’s deferral contribution. No first-tier match will be made on the participant’s deferral contributions in excess of 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation, as defined by the Plan. The first-tier match is discretionary, and the above percentages are subject to change by the Plan administrator. Contributions are made on a payroll-by-payroll basis. A discretionary first-tier “true-up” contribution also may be made at the end of the Plan year. Participants must be employed on the last day of the Plan year and have completed 92 consecutive days of service to be eligible for the “true-up” contribution. First-tier contributions are invested directly in Company common stock and participants are not allowed to direct this portion of their account until fully vested, at which time the participant is permitted to sell any or all of the shares held in the account, subject to applicable laws and regulations. This portion of their account vests upon five years of service with the company. Participants can diversify their first- tier company match after they have completed three years of service, even though they are only 60% vested at that time. | ||
| Company Contributions – Second-Tier Match | ||
| The Company, at its discretion, may elect to make a second-tier match to the Plan. The contribution will be equal to a certain percentage of the participant’s compensation, as defined by the Plan. The percentage is determined by the Company and is dependent on whether certain Company financial metrics meet or exceed pre-established benchmarks. Participants who are employed with the Company prior to October 1 of the Plan year, completed 92 consecutive days of service, and are employed as of the last day of the Plan year are eligible to receive any approved second-tier match. Second-tier contributions are invested directly in Company common stock, and participants are not allowed to direct this portion of their account until fully vested, at which time the participant is permitted to sell any or all of the shares held in the account, subject to applicable laws and regulations. This portion of their account vests upon five years of service with the Company. Participants can diversify their second-tier company match after they have completed three years of service, even though they are only 60% vested at that time. | ||
| Company Contributions – Profit Sharing | ||
| The Company may also, at its discretion, make an additional profit sharing contribution to the Plan. If such contribution is made, it will be allocated among eligible participants based on each participant’s prorated compensation to total compensation. Participants are eligible for the profit sharing contribution if they are employed on the last day of the Plan year and completed 92 consecutive days of employment with the Company during the Plan year. Profit sharing contributions are invested directly in Company common stock, and participants are not allowed to direct this portion of their account until fully vested, at which time the participant is permitted to sell any or all of the shares held in their account, subject to applicable laws and regulations. This portion of their account vests upon five years of service with the company. Participants can diversify their profit sharing company contribution after they have completed three years of service, even though they are only 60% vested at that time. |

| Participant Accounts | ||
| Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s and the Company’s contributions and allocations of Plan earnings. Allocations are based on relative account balances. The benefit to which the participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. | ||
| Vesting | ||
| Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of service. Participants vest 20% in Company contributions after one year of service and 20% for each additional year of service until a participant is 100% vested upon completing five years of service. Participants become fully vested in their account balance upon normal retirement, permanent disability, or death. | ||
| Participant Loans | ||
| Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000, or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Loan terms may not exceed 5 years, except for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the duration may be extended not to exceed 10 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at current prime plus 1%, which are commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator. Interest rates on loans as of December 31, 2007 range from 5.00% to 10.50%. Principal and interest is paid ratably through scheduled payroll deductions. | ||
| Payments of Benefits and Transfers | ||
| Upon termination of service due to normal retirement, retirement for permanent disability, or death, a participant may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in the participant’s account. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in the participant’s account as a lump-sum distribution. Distributions of participants’ accounts vested in Company common stock are made in shares of the Company’s common stock, except that cash is distributed for fractional shares. Participants may also elect to receive cash for distributions with a fair value less than $1,000. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, 172,855 and 132,395 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock were distributed to withdrawing participants. | ||
| Within a participant’s account, the participant may make up to 12 transfers out of the Company stock per calendar year with no limit to the amount of stock the participant can move in any one transfer. These transfer provisions relate to Company stock held in a participant’s account relating to participant contributions. Transfers out of Company stock held in a participant’s account relating to Company contributions are prohibited until a participant has at least three years of service with the Company or in the event of termination of employment with the Company. | ||
| Forfeited Accounts | ||
| At December 31, 2007 and 2006, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $1,895,949 and $672,127 respectively. Forfeited non-vested accounts are first used to pay Plan administrative expenses and then, to the extent any forfeitures remain, to reduce future Company contributions. In 2007 and 2006, $211,256 and $141,170 of forfeiture were used to pay plan administrative expenses, respectively, and $82,274 and $627,308 were used to reduce Employer contributions. |

| (2) | Summary of Accounting Policies | |
| Basis of Presentation | ||
| The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in conformity with accounting Principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | ||
| Use of Estimates | ||
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | ||
| Investment Valuation and Income Recognition | ||
| The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair market value based on the net asset value of the shares held by the Plan at year-end. Investments in common/collective trusts, such as the American Century Stable Asset Fund, are stated at estimated fair values, which have been determined based on the unit values of the fund. Unit values are determined by the bank sponsoring such fund by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding shares at the valuation dates. Investments in Company common stock are stated at fair value based upon the closing sales price of the common stock as reported on a recognized securities exchange on the last business day of the year. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. | ||
| Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. | ||
| Payment of Benefits | ||
| Benefits are recorded when paid. | ||
| Reclassifications | ||
| Certain amounts within the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to the current year presentation. |

| (5) | Related-Party Transactions | |
| In 2006 and for the first nine months of 2007, certain Plan investments were shares of mutual funds managed by Worldwide Securities Services, a business unit of JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JP Morgan). JP Morgan was the trustee through September 2007, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. JP Morgan Retirement Plan Services, the Plan’s record keeper through September 2007, has a business partnership between JP Morgan and American Century Investments. For the last three months of 2007, certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc., a business unit of Fidelity Investments (Fidelity). Fidelity is the current trustee, as defined by the Plan, and therefore these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan invests in common stock of the Company and issues loans to participants, which are secured by the balances in the participants’ accounts. Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. | ||
| (6) | Plan Termination | |
| Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their Company contributions. | ||
| (7) | Tax Status | |
| The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated February 25, 2003 that the Plan and the related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. | ||
| (8) | Risks and Uncertainties | |
| The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. |
