PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Allscripts (the trade name of Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc.) is a leading provider of clinical software, services, information and connectivity solutions that empower physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver best-in-class patient safety, clinical outcomes and financial results. Our businesses provide innovative solutions that inform physicians with just right, just in time information, connect physicians to each other and to the entire community of care, and transform healthcare, improving both the quality and efficiency of care. We provide various software applications and services, including Electronic Health Records (EHR), practice management, revenue cycle management, clearinghouse services, electronic prescribing, Emergency Department Information System (EDIS), hospital care management and discharge management solutions, document imaging solutions, referral management and a variety of other solutions for home care and other post-acute facilities.

Overview

Our physician practice solutions include our Enterprise solution for large physician practices and Integrated Delivery Networks, our Professional solution for mid-size primary care and single specialty practices, and the Allscripts MyWay solution for smaller or independent physician practices. Our award-winning EHR solutions are designed to enhance physician productivity using tablet PCs, wireless handheld devices or desktop workstations for the purpose of automating the most common physician activities, including prescribing, dictating, ordering lab tests and viewing results, documenting clinical encounters and capturing charges, among others. Our electronic prescribing solutions include a Web-based stand-alone solution offered free-of-charge to any licensed prescriber, and solutions that are integrated into each of our EHRs.

Our practice management solutions combine scheduling and revenue cycle management tools in a single package with functionality including rules-based appointment scheduling, multi-resource and recurring appointment features, referral and eligibility indicators, and appointment and claims management. Our Web-based clearinghouse solutions are available on a stand-alone basis or integrated into our practice management solutions.

Our health system solutions include offerings for hospitals that are seeking Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) and care management solutions, as well as post-acute facilities such as home health providers, hospices and skilled nursing facilities. Allscripts ED is an EDIS that electronically streamlines processes for hospital Emergency Departments, including tracking, triage, nurse and physician charting, disposition and reporting. EmSTAT, a legacy EDIS product, offers similar functionality for streamlining the Emergency Department care process in small hospitals. Allscripts Care Management is a Web-based solution that streamlines and speeds the patient care management process by automating utilization, case, discharge and quality management processes relating to patient hospital visits. Allscripts Post Acute solutions include: Referral Management, Referral Management Plus, and Allscripts Mobile. These solutions streamline the transition of care process between hospitals and post-acute care facilities. Our solution for home health providers is an integrated system that combines business, clinical, and scheduling features into a single package, providing home health, hospice, and private duty organizations with a user friendly product that enables staff to work more effectively both inside and outside the office.

Recent Developments

Misys Merger

On October 10, 2008, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17, 2008 (the “2008 Transactions”) by and among Misys plc (“Misys”), Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC (“MHS”), Allscripts and Patriot Merger Company, LLC (“Patriot”) which consisted of (i) the cash

payment by an affiliate of Misys of approximately $330 million and (ii) the merger of Patriot with and into MHS, with MHS being the surviving company. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts and Misys obtained a controlling interest in Allscripts. In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, we issued an aggregate of approximately 82.9 million shares of its common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.

The 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 include the results of operations of legacy MHS for each full year, and the results of operations of legacy Allscripts subsequent to the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008. As such, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as our historical financial statements.

Eclipsys Merger

On June 9, 2010, we announced that we had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eclipsys Corporation, a leading enterprise provider of solutions and services for hospitals and clinicians (“Eclipsys”), and Arsenal Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Allscripts (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Eclipsys, with Eclipsys surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Allscripts (the “Eclipsys Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by boards of directors of both Allscripts and Eclipsys, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Eclipsys common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those shares owned by us, Eclipsys or any of their respective subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 1.2 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

Completion of the Eclipsys Merger is subject to certain conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by Eclipsys’ stockholders, (ii) approval of the issuance of our common stock in connection with the Merger by our stockholders, and (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. In addition, the transaction is subject to the completion of a secondary offering of our shares owned by Misys and the completion of the Allscripts buyback from Misys of additional Allscripts shares owned by Misys, which will substantially reduce Misys’s share ownership of Allscripts prior to the closing of the Eclipsys Merger.

We believe the combination of Allscripts and Eclipsys will allow the combined company to become a larger, more competitive “end-to-end” solutions provider within the healthcare information technology industry. Combining the companies’ respective solution sets will result in one of the most comprehensive solution offerings for healthcare organizations of every size and setting. By combining physician-office and post-acute care solutions from Allscripts with Eclipsys’ enterprise solutions for hospitals and health systems, the combined company will offer a single platform of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions.

After the Eclipsys Merger, given the unique breadth of solutions and customer types, the company expects to be uniquely positioned to connect physicians, other care providers and patients across all health care provider settings including hospitals, small or large physician practices, extended care facilities, or in a home care setting. The Eclipsys Merger establishes significant breadth and critical mass to compete for opportunities among large hospital and health systems that increasingly are looking to one information technology vendor to provide a single, end-to-end solution across all points of care.

Reduction of Misys Share Ownership

On June 9, 2010, we also announced that we had entered into a Framework Agreement with Misys, which was subsequently amended on July 26, 2010 (as amended, the “Framework Agreement”). Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Allscripts and Misys agreed to reduce Misys’ existing indirect ownership interest in Allscripts. As of June 8, 2010, Misys held indirectly 79.8 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 54.5% of the aggregate voting power of our capital stock. Upon completion of the Coniston Transactions described below, and assuming that Misys sells 25 million shares of our common stock in the Secondary Offering and exercises its right to sell shares in the Contingent Share Repurchase, each as described below, we expect Misys’ equity stake in Allscripts to be reduced to approximately 13.5%.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, Misys and Allscripts have agreed that:

•

100% of the issued and outstanding shares of an indirect subsidiary of Misys (“Newco”), which will hold 61.3 million shares of our common stock, will be transferred to us in exchange for 61.3 million newly issued shares of our common stock (such shares being referred to as the “Exchange Shares” and the transaction described in this bullet being referred to as the “Exchange”);

•

Misys, directly or through one or more of its subsidiaries, will sell shares of our common stock in an underwritten secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”);

•

we will repurchase from Misys or from one or more of its indirect subsidiaries 24.4 million Exchange Shares at an aggregate purchase price of $577.4 million (the “Share Repurchase”), which includes a payment of a premium of $117.4 million in connection with the sale by Misys of its controlling interest in Allscripts; and

•

if the Eclipsys Merger is completed, Misys will have the right to require that we repurchase from Misys or from one or more of its indirect subsidiaries approximately 5.3 million additional shares of our common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $101.6 million (the “Contingent Share Repurchase”), which right may be exercised for up to 10 days after the closing of the Eclipsys Merger.

The Exchange, Secondary Offering and Share Repurchase are referred to as the “Coniston Transactions.”

The closing of the Coniston Transactions is subject to certain conditions, including (i) approval of the Coniston Transactions by the shareholders of Misys, (ii) the sale of no fewer than 36 million shares of our common stock in the Secondary Offering, or 25 million shares if our stockholders approve the issuance of our common stock in connection with the Eclipsys Merger and Eclipsys stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, at a public offering price of no less than $16.50 per share and (iii) completion of the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter described below.

In connection with the Coniston Transactions, we have signed a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, UBS Loan Finance LLC and certain of their affiliates for a $570 million senior secured term loan facility and a $150 million senior secured revolving facility, each of which is expected to close upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions. We expect to use the proceeds from these facilities, as well as cash on hand, to finance the Share Repurchase and the Contingent Share Repurchase, to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Eclipsys Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, and to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of Allscripts and its subsidiaries.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement, Misys has caused its direct and indirect subsidiaries as holders of our common stock to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of Allscripts to approve the issuance of the Exchange Shares to certain subsidiaries of Misys in the Exchange and an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to permit the issuance of the Exchange Shares and the shares of our common stock to be issued to Eclipsys stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Misys approved, by written consent, certain additional amendments to our certificate of incorporation that will be effective only upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions, which would (i) change our name from “Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc.” to “Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.,” (ii) eliminate the ability of our stockholders to act by written consent,

(iii) elect that we be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the DGCL, (iv) establish certain committee structures to implement certain agreements with Misys and Eclipsys related to our board of directors, and (v) implement certain other additional incidental or clarifying amendments.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths are the keys to our success:

Industry-Leading Solutions

We have been an innovator in the development and adoption of healthcare information technology solutions. We believe our clinical and health solutions provide the following advantages:

•

Accessibility. Physicians can instantly access our web-based clinical solutions from a variety of locations, including the exam room, hospital, office or remote locations. With our EHR solutions, physicians can easily perform such important tasks as dictation and charge capture in an offline mode and immediately transfer those files once reconnected to the network. Our solutions run on tablet PCs, a wide variety of smartphones, desktop workstations and other wireless devices, as well as over the Internet in a hosted or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment.

•

Innovation. Allscripts has developed a reputation for innovation through the introduction of pioneering new products. Two recent examples include Allscripts Remote and Allscripts Patient Kiosk. Our Allscripts Remote product was the first to make information from Electronic Health Records available on the Apple iPhone^®, iPod^® Touch and iPad^® in an Apple-native software format, as well as on BlackBerry^® smartphones. Our Allscripts Patient Kiosk, developed in partnership with Fujitsu (our hardware partner), is the first kiosk from a major practice management and EHR vendor. The kiosk connects to our EHR and practice management solutions to enable patients to quickly check-in, pay their co-pays using a credit card and conduct other business while taking control of their own healthcare with a dashboard view of all their personal information, including a complete health maintenance plan and alerts about upcoming or overdue tests.

•

SaaS. By making a wide variety of our solutions available via SaaS (i.e., available on-demand over the Internet using a Web browser) we believe that we have significantly increased the ease of adoption of our solutions. This capability is especially important for physicians in independent practice and small groups who make up nearly half the U.S. physician population yet lack the IT resources and know-how to manage an on-premise software application.

•

Interoperability. Our products are designed to operate with existing installed systems, in both ambulatory and acute settings. Our Universal Application Integrator (UAI) is an innovative application that enables Allscripts and third-parties to quickly and easily build connections between our software applications.

•

Enhancing the Revenue Cycle. Allscripts focuses on making it easier for our clients to access new opportunities for financial gain through a variety of revenue cycle solutions. In particular, our Payerpath solution is one of the leading revenue cycle management and clearinghouse services in the United States with over 600 million revenue cycle management transactions processed each year. Available on a stand-alone basis or integrated with our practice management systems, Payerpath’s comprehensive suite of Internet solutions addresses every step in the reimbursement cycle for physician practices, clearinghouses and payers, delivering improved reimbursement and claim management processes that lead to cleaner claims and faster payments. For example, Payerpath Eligibility provides instant verification of patient insurance eligibility, ending phone calls to payers to clarify covered procedures and patient eligibility. Another example, Allscripts Patient Payment Assurance, provides point-of-care collection of credit card and debit card payments, reducing the need for patient billing, which can dramatically reduce patient receivables. By enabling significant return on investment, our revenue cycle solutions allow providers to focus less on running their businesses and more on providing quality patient care.

•

A Comprehensive Portfolio for Physicians. For physicians not yet ready for an EHR, our portfolio includes stand-alone, web-based electronic prescribing (free of charge), document management, and revenue cycle management. For physicians who already utilize an EHR and practice management system, our portfolio includes connections to other physicians, to our Emergency Department and Care Management solutions and to post-acute providers and third-party hospital inpatient information systems. We also offer add-ons to the EHR that enable physicians to more easily enroll patients in clinical trials, automate the process of reporting quality outcomes to government and private “pay for performance” programs, and connect to communities of healthcare organizations such as regional Health Information Exchanges.

•

Accelerated Implementations. The Allscripts READY accelerated deployment program answers the growing need for faster, standardized implementations of Electronic Health Records. As the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Stimulus”) incentives start to take effect, industry observers anticipate a significant increase in the number of physician practices seeking to deploy an EHR, placing greater pressure on physician groups and EHR vendors to implement the software more quickly and with fewer human resources. READY provides the answer with a series of complete solution packages that combine best-in-class recommendations for products, certified workflows and implementation, as well as remote e-learning in place of onsite training. Leveraging experience from thousands of successful clients, READY standardizes an EHR implementation and delivers a faster installation with minimized costs.

•

Accelerated Upgrades. Our Upgrade Enablement Center (UEC) provides a quick and accelerated migration path for our legacy Misys EMR users. The four- to six-week process lets clients protect their investment in software and information while upgrading to our Professional EHR, providing a rapid opportunity to participate in the federal Stimulus program. We are planning to extend our UEC platform to upgrade Allscripts clients on all of our legacy EHR systems, which we believe will ensure that Allscripts clients will be “Stimulus-ready.”

Significant Installed Base

Approximately 160,000 physicians, 800 hospitals and 10,000 post-acute facilities nationwide utilize Allscripts solutions to automate and connect their clinical and business operations. Our significant installed base, including some of the country’s most prestigious medical groups and hospitals, serves as a reference source for prospective clients who are interested in purchasing our solutions.

Large Base of Physician Practice Clients Without an EHR

Following its merger with MHS in October 2008, Allscripts acquired approximately 110,000 physician users of legacy MHS practice management solutions, a vast majority of whom have yet to make an EHR buying decision. We believe these physician practices are most likely to turn to Allscripts, the company that already manages their financial back office operations, when they go looking for an EHR solution.

Breadth of Product and Service Offering

Allscripts offers an EHR for every segment of the physician market, from solo physician practices to the largest academic medical groups and integrated delivery networks (IDN). Besides the EHR, our suite of clinical and health solutions software includes e-prescribing, practice management, revenue cycle management for physician groups; emergency department information systems, care management and discharge management solutions for hospitals; and a variety of solutions to help home care and post-acute facilities such as skilled nursing hospitals.

Strength of our Distribution Network

The Allscripts Distribution Network (ADN) is composed of nearly 100 leading resellers and distributors of healthcare products and services that provide the Allscripts MyWay™ Electronic Health Record to small physician groups across the nation. The ADN significantly extends Allscripts market presence with a combined reseller sales force of more than 2,000, and existing physician relationships primarily in the one- to three-physician market of over 160,000 physicians. The ADN provides a trusted partner channel to help physician offices enter the electronic healthcare highway cost-effectively and with minimal IT headaches. Key members of the ADN include Cardinal Health, one of the largest healthcare distributors in the nation, and SYNNEX Corporation, a leading business process services company.

Unique and Comprehensive Connect Strategy

The Allscripts Community Record helps local and regional health systems to share information between a range of technologies from any source, creating a single patient record for providers across the continuum of care. The Community Record is designed to leverage existing systems and applications, without the need for replacement. The infrastructure incorporates data from multiple sources in a variety of formats, and harmonizes the data into one uniform patient record across the community. As a result, all the members of a patient’s care team have the same up-to-date information about the patient, regardless of whether they work in acute, ambulatory or post-acute settings inside or outside the health system.

Meaningful Use Undertaking

The Allscripts Stimulus Program is a series of industry-leading offerings designed to make it safe and easy for physicians to purchase and rapidly deploy Electronic Health Records that will qualify for federal Stimulus incentives. We agree to work with our customers to ensure that the Allscripts EHR physicians select will meet the EHR certification criteria provided by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Sales and Marketing

We have experienced sales executives with extensive industry expertise. We primarily sell directly to our customers through our sales force. As of May 31, 2010, we employed 405 sales and marketing employees. In addition to our direct sales force and our ADN for MyWay sales, we also have established reseller relationships with strategic partners, such as Cardinal Health, Dell, Inc., Henry Schein, Inc. and Medfusion.

Research and Development

As of May 31, 2010, we had 413 employees in research and development. In addition, through our shared services agreement with Misys and on a third-party consulting basis we engage the services of approximately 315 additional dedicated development professionals. The primary purposes of our research and development groups are to develop new features and enhancements to our respective solutions, ensure that our solutions comply with continually evolving regulatory requirements and create additional opportunities to connect our systems to the healthcare community.

For each of the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, we spent approximately 10% of our software and services revenue on related research and product development. Our clinical and health solutions segments capitalize software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of the software is established until the software is available for general release. Non-capitalizable research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Our research and development spending consists of costs directly recorded to expense and also includes capitalized software development costs.

Industry and Competition

The market for our products and services is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and product standards, technology and user needs and the frequent introduction of new products and services. Some of our competitors may be more established, benefit from greater name recognition and have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than us. We compete on the basis of several factors, including: breadth and depth of services, reputation, reliability, accuracy and security, client service, price, and industry expertise and experience.

There are numerous companies that offer EHR and practice management products and the marketplace remains fragmented. We face competition from several types of organizations, including providers of practice management solutions, electronic prescribing solutions, ambulatory EHR solutions, hospital EDIS and care management solutions, and post-acute discharge management solutions.

Our principal existing competitors in the physician healthcare information systems and services market include athenahealth Inc., Cerner Corporation, eClinicalWorks Inc., Epic Systems Corporation, General Electric Company, Emdeon Business Services LLC, Aprima Medical Software (formerly iMedica Corporation), McKesson Corporation, Quality Systems, Inc., Sage Software, Inc., The Trizetto Group, Inc., and Wellsoft Corporation.

Our principal existing competitors in the hospital and post-acute healthcare information systems and services market include eDischarge, Maxsys Ltd., MedHost, Meditech, Midas+, Picis, ProviderLink and WellSoft.

Recent Industry Developments

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Stimulus, which provides financial incentives to physicians who adopt and use Electronic Health Record technology to improve both the quality and cost-effectiveness of patient care. Studies demonstrate that effective use of Electronic Health Records reduces medical errors, improves clinical quality and leads to better patient outcomes by enabling real-time access to patient records, medical information and best practices, and electronic connectivity to all healthcare stakeholders, including patients.

In addition to its other components focused on economic stimulus, the law provides approximately $30 billion in health information technology funding. The total includes $2 billion in discretionary funds and $28 billion for investments and incentives through Medicare and Medicaid to ensure widespread adoption and use of interoperable healthcare IT systems such as the Electronic Health Record. Physicians who have not adopted certified Electronic Health Record systems by 2014 will have their Medicare reimbursements reduced by up to 3 percent beginning in 2015.

With the Stimulus, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will pay physicians between $44,000 and $64,000 over five years, beginning in 2011, for deploying and using a certified Electronic Health Record to care for patients. The Stimulus package is expected to ignite significant job growth in the information technology sector and, according to a Congressional Budget Office review of the legislation’s impact, drive up to 90 percent of US physicians to adopt Electronic Health Records in the next decade.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information in this report. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not currently know about or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business operations. If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to the Merger

We may be unable to successfully integrate Eclipsys’ business with our business and realize the anticipated benefits of the Eclipsys Merger.

The success of the Eclipsys Merger will depend, in part, on the ability to realize the anticipated synergies, growth opportunities and cost savings from integrating Eclipsys’ business with our business. The integration of two independent companies is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and involves numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, the entry into markets in which we or Eclipsys have little or no direct prior experience, the potential loss of our key employees or Eclipsys’ key employees, and the potential inability to maintain the goodwill of existing clients. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among other factors:

•

managing a significantly larger company;

•

the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process;

•

integrating two unique business cultures, which may prove to be incompatible;

•

creating uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems and minimizing the costs associated with such matters;

•

integrating information, purchasing, accounting, finance, sales, billing, payroll and regulatory compliance systems;

•

preserving customer, supplier, research and development, distribution, marketing, promotion and other important relationships;

•

commercializing products under development and increasing revenues from existing marketed products;

•

coordinating geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities, including complexities associated with managing the combined businesses with separate locations;

•

combining the sales force territories and competencies associated with the sale of products and services presently sold or provided by us or Eclipsys;

•

integrating personnel from different companies while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high-quality products and customer service and attractive to prospective customers;

•

integrating complex technologies, solutions and products from different companies in a manner that is seamless to customers;

•

unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the Eclipsys Merger; and

•

performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the diversion of management’s attention to the Eclipsys Merger.

If management is unable to combine successfully our business and the business of Eclipsys in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve the cost savings and operating synergies anticipated to result from the Eclipsys Merger, such anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Any of the above difficulties could adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and employees or the combined company’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Eclipsys Merger, or could reduce the combined company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.

If Eclipsys’ former stockholders immediately sell our common stock received in the merger, they could cause our common stock price to decline.

Our common stock to be issued to stockholders of Eclipsys pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be registered under the federal securities laws. As a result, those shares will be immediately available for resale in the public market. The number of shares of our common stock to be issued to Eclipsys’ former stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and immediately available for resale, will equal approximately 37% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, including the Share Repurchase, the Secondary Offering and the Contingent Share Repurchase. Eclipsys’ former stockholders may sell any or all of the stock they receive immediately after the merger. If Eclipsys’ former stockholders or the other holders of our common stock sell significant amounts of our common stock immediately after the merger is completed, the market price of our common stock could decline. These sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.

To be successful, the combined company must retain and motivate key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm the combined company.

To be successful, the combined company must retain and motivate executives and other key employees. Our and Eclipsys’ employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company until or after strategies for the combined company are announced or executed. These circumstances may adversely affect the combined company’s ability to retain key personnel. We and Eclipsys have implemented retention plans to retain and motivate executives and other key employees which will increase the cost of the Eclipsys Merger. The combined company also must continue to motivate employees and keep them focused on the strategies and goals of the combined company, which effort may be adversely affected as a result of the uncertainty and difficulties with integrating our business and Eclipsys’ business. If the combined company is unable to retain executives and other key employees, the roles and responsibilities of such executive officers and employees will need to be filled either by existing or new officers and employees, which may require the combined company to devote time and resources to identifying, hiring and integrating replacements for the departed executives that could otherwise be used to integrate our business and Eclipsys’ business or otherwise pursue business opportunities.

If the combined company is unable to manage its growth, its business and financial results could suffer.

The combined company’s future financial results will depend in part on its ability to profitably manage its core businesses, including any growth that the combined company may be able to achieve. Over the past several years, both we and Eclipsys have engaged in the identification of, and competition for, growth and expansion opportunities. In order to achieve those initiatives, the combined company will need to, among other things, recruit, train, retain and effectively manage employees and expand its operations and financial control systems. If the combined company is unable to manage its businesses effectively and profitably, its business and financial results could suffer.

Provisions of the Merger Agreement may deter alternative business combinations and could negatively impact our stock price if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances.

Restrictions in the Merger Agreement prohibit us from soliciting any acquisition proposal or offer for a merger or business combination with any other party, including a proposal that might be advantageous to our stockholders when compared to the terms and conditions of the Eclipsys Merger.

In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, we may be required in specified circumstances to pay the transaction expenses of Eclipsys up to $5 million or to pay a termination fee of $17.7 million or $40 million to Eclipsys. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by us in circumstances that obligate us to pay Eclipsys its transaction expenses or the termination fee, the trading price of our stock may decline.

These provisions may deter third parties from proposing or pursuing alternative business combinations that might result in greater value to our stockholders than the Eclipsys Merger.

Certain of our executive officers have interests in the Eclipsys Merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders.

Certain of our executive officers have interests in the Eclipsys Merger that are different from, or in addition to, interests of our stockholders. Pursuant to a retention plan adopted by our board of directors on June 8, 2010, certain of our employees, including our executive officers, will be entitled to receive retention payments subject to certain conditions.

The Eclipsys Merger may result in substantial goodwill for the combined company. If the combined company’s goodwill becomes impaired, then the profits of the combined company may be significantly reduced or eliminated and stockholders’ equity may be reduced.

The actual amount of goodwill recorded will depend in part on the market value of our common stock as of the date on which the Eclipsys Merger is completed and the appropriate allocation of purchase price, which may be impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the net assets acquired and changes in the fair values of the net assets acquired. On at least an annual basis, we assess whether there has been an impairment in the value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value, impairment is deemed to have occurred and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. Under GAAP, this would result in a charge to the combined company’s operating earnings. Accordingly, any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of goodwill recorded in connection with the Eclipsys Merger would negatively affect the combined company’s results of operations.

We expect to incur significant costs whether or not the Eclipsys Merger is completed.

We will incur substantial expenses related to the Coniston Transactions and the Eclipsys Merger whether or not the Eclipsys Merger is completed. We currently expect to incur approximately $55.6 million in transactional expenses, approximately $32.7 million of which are not contingent on the completion of the Eclipsys Merger. Moreover, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, we may, under certain circumstances, be required to pay Eclipsys a termination fee of approximately $17.7 million or $40 million or reimburse Eclipsys for transaction expenses of up to $5 million, depending on the circumstances of the termination. Also, should the Merger Agreement be terminated due to a willful breach of the Merger Agreement by us, we could owe significant damages to Eclipsys.

If the Coniston Transactions are not completed, then the Eclipsys Merger will not be completed.

Our obligation to complete the Eclipsys Merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion of the Coniston Transactions. Completion of the Coniston Transactions, in turn, is subject to certain conditions, including (i) approval of the Coniston Transactions by the shareholders of Misys, (ii) the sale of no fewer than 36 million shares of our common stock in the Secondary Offering, or 25 million shares if our stockholders approve the issuance of our common stock in connection with the Eclipsys Merger and Eclipsys stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, at a price to the public of no less than $16.50 per share, and (iii) completion of the Share Repurchase, which is contingent upon completion of the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter. Accordingly, if any of these conditions is not satisfied or waived, the Coniston Transactions will not be completed and, as a result, the Eclipsys Merger will not be completed. In addition, the Framework Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both us and Misys, including the right of either party to terminate the Framework Agreement if the closing of the Coniston Transactions has not been completed on or prior to December 9, 2010. If the Framework Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Coniston Transactions, the Eclipsys Merger will not be completed.

If the Eclipsys Merger is completed, we will incur significant additional expenses in connection with the integration of the two businesses.

If the Eclipsys Merger is completed, we expect to incur significant additional expenses in connection with the integration of the two businesses, including integrating personnel, geographically diverse operations, information technology systems, accounting systems, customers, and strategic partners of each company and implementing consistent standards, policies, and procedures, and may be subject to possibly material write downs in assets and charges to earnings, which are expected to include severance pay and other costs.

We will be subject to various uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Eclipsys Merger is pending that could adversely affect our financial results.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Eclipsys Merger on employees, customers, potential customers, partners and suppliers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Eclipsys Merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause existing customers, partners and suppliers and others that currently have business relationships with us to seek to change their business relationships with us. Additionally, these uncertainties could cause potential clients to defer decisions or purchases, or to seek products and services from our competitors.

Employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to completion of the Eclipsys Merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.

The pursuit of the Eclipsys Merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our financial results.

In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us, without Eclipsys’ consent, from making certain acquisitions and dispositions and taking other specified actions related to the operation of our businesses while the Eclipsys Merger is pending. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities and making other changes to our business prior to completion of the Eclipsys Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.

Failure to complete the Eclipsys Merger could negatively impact our stock price and our future business and financial results.

If the Eclipsys Merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and we will be subject to several risks, including the following:

•

being required, under certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement, to pay a termination fee of approximately $17.7 million or $40 million to Eclipsys or reimburse Eclipsys’ out-of-pocket transaction expenses of up to $5 million depending on the timing and reasons for termination;

•

having to pay costs and expenses relating to the Eclipsys Merger and related transactions;

•

the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Eclipsys Merger instead of our operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us; and

•

customer perception may be negatively impacted which could affect our ability to compete for, or to win, new and renewal business in the marketplace.

Pending litigation against us could result in an injunction preventing completion of the Eclipsys Merger, the payment of damages if the Eclipsys Merger is completed and/or may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations following the Eclipsys Merger.

In connection with the Eclipsys Merger, purported stockholders of Eclipsys have filed putative stockholder class action lawsuits against Eclipsys and its directors, us and Arsenal Merger Corp. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs seek to enjoin the Eclipsys Merger. The outcome of any such litigation is inherently uncertain. Each company may incur substantial costs and expenses to defend the company. If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the Eclipsys Merger. The outcome may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The combined company will have to develop and rely on its own resources and personnel to operate the business.

We are currently a party to a Shared Services Agreement with Misys pursuant to which Misys provides us with certain services and personnel to support our business. Upon the consummation of the Coniston Transactions, the Shared Services Agreement will be terminated and we will enter into a Transition Services Agreement with Misys pursuant to which Misys will continue to provide certain services and personnel to the combined company to support its business. Beginning approximately six months after the date of the Transition Services Agreement with respect to certain services, the services formerly provided by Misys will need to be continued by either our existing or new employees, which may require the combined company to devote time and resources to identifying, hiring and integrating individuals to perform the services formerly provided by Misys pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

The combined company’s common stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of our common stock.

On completion of the Eclipsys Merger, although holders of our common stock will continue to hold our common stock, our business will be different as a result of the completion of the Eclipsys Merger. As our business and Eclipsys’ business are different, the results of operations as well as the price of the combined company’s common stock may be affected by factors different than those factors affecting us and Eclipsys as independent stand-alone entities. The combined company will face additional risks and uncertainties not otherwise facing each independent company in the Eclipsys Merger.

If the Eclipsys Merger is completed, provisions of the combined company’s charter documents and Delaware law may delay or inhibit potential acquisition bids that stockholders may believe are desirable, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.

If the Eclipsys Merger is completed, the combined company’s charter documents will provide that our board of directors will have the authority to issue up to 1 million shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors will be able to fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders, and the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition of Allscripts.

In addition, the combined company’s charter documents will include an election to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, which will prohibit us from engaging in any business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years from the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions are met. These provisions will make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to acquire us without negotiation and may apply even if some of our stockholders consider the proposed transaction beneficial to them. These provisions could also limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

The combined company’s charter documents will also contain provisions that may delay or inhibit potential acquisition bids, including provisions that:

•

our stockholders are not allowed to act by written consent; and

•

our stockholders are not allowed to call a special meeting of stockholders.

Risks Related to the Coniston Transactions

The sale of our common stock by Misys could cause our common stock price to decline.

We have agreed to facilitate the sale of at least 36 million shares of our common stock held by one or more subsidiaries of Misys in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, which requirement will be reduced to 25 million shares if our stockholders approve the issuance of our common stock in connection with the Eclipsys Merger and Eclipsys stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. The number of shares to be offered by such subsidiaries of Misys will equal approximately 24.6% of our outstanding common stock at the time of such sale if they sell 36 million shares, or 17.1% if they sell 25 million shares. As a result of such offering, the market price for our common stock could decline and it may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and at a price we deem appropriate. In addition, any shares of our common stock held by Misys and its subsidiaries after the completion of the Coniston Transactions may be sold following the expiration of the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the Secondary Offering, which could result in further declines of the market price for our common stock. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, for as long as Misys owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys may require us to file a registration statement under the federal securities laws registering the sale of all or a portion of the shares of our common stock owned by Misys that are not otherwise freely tradable, and Misys may, for a period of three years, participate in any registration statement proposed to be effected by us, subject to certain limitations.

The additional indebtedness incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement will decrease business flexibility and increase borrowing costs.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, we will increase our indebtedness by approximately $570 million, and will have indebtedness that will be substantially greater than our indebtedness prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement. The covenants in such indebtedness and the increased indebtedness and higher debt-to-equity ratio in comparison to our debt-to-equity ratio on a recent historical basis could have the effect, among other things, of:

•

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

•

increasing vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions;

•

limiting flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in business and the industry in which we operate;

•

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt; and

•

limiting the ability to borrow additional funds on terms that are satisfactory or at all.

Newco may be liable for significant potential contingent tax liabilities arising out of the Coniston Transactions and certain related transactions, or out of prior activities of Newco unrelated to those transactions.

Newco might be subject to significant taxes, which we refer to as Transaction Taxes, arising out of the Coniston Transactions and certain related restructuring transactions, which we refer to collectively as the Misys Transactions. In particular, the Exchange or other Misys Transactions might result in recognition of the built-in gain inherent in our shares of common stock held by Newco, which is significant. At the time of the Exchange, Newco will hold approximately 61.3 million shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Framework

Agreement, Misys has agreed to indemnify us against any Transaction Taxes imposed on Newco, and Misys is required to provide a bank guarantee in the amount of $168 million, which we refer to as the PLR Bank Guarantee, to support that indemnification obligation.

Misys is seeking a letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the IRS, which, if obtained, is expected to confirm that the Misys Transactions will not result in the recognition of the built-in gain inherent in our shares of common stock held by Newco, and may address other tax issues related to the Misys Transactions. If a favorable letter ruling is received, the PLR Bank Guarantee will be terminated. No assurances can be given that a favorable letter ruling will be received, as the IRS might decline to issue a favorable letter ruling. At the time of the closing of the Coniston Transactions it likely will not be known whether a favorable letter ruling will be issued. If a favorable letter ruling were not issued, in a subsequent IRS audit of the Misys Transactions the IRS might successfully assert that significant taxes, penalties and interest are payable by Newco. The amount of the PLR Bank Guarantee might be insufficient to fully cover Misys’ resulting indemnification obligation. Furthermore, although not expected, there could be circumstances in which the PLR Bank Guarantee would be reduced or terminated prior to the extinguishment of the resulting tax liabilities. The ability to rely on any favorable letter ruling depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted to the IRS, which will be primarily determined by Misys. As a result, no assurances can be given that our ability to rely on a favorable letter ruling could not be challenged, in which case we would be required to rely on Misys’ indemnification obligation without the benefit of the PLR Bank Guarantee.

Additionally, while the letter ruling is expected to address the material tax issues related to the Misys Transactions, all issues may not be addressed.

KPMG LLP, our tax advisor, has delivered an opinion to us concluding, among other things, that, based on relevant representations and assumptions, the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, including the Exchange and the other Misys Transactions, will not result in the recognition of the built-in gain inherent in our stock held by Newco. If the representations or assumptions on which such opinion is based are inaccurate or incomplete, the conclusions reached in the opinion may be incorrect. Furthermore, such opinion is not binding on the IRS or any court, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with the conclusions reached in the opinion. The opinion will not preclude the IRS from declining to issue a favorable letter ruling nor will it preclude the IRS from successfully asserting that significant taxes, penalties and interest are payable by Newco as a result of the Misys Transactions or otherwise.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Misys has also agreed to indemnify us against any contingent tax liability of Newco other than Transaction Taxes, such as taxes imposed as a result of prior activities of Newco, which we refer to as Historic Taxes, and Misys is required to provide an additional bank guarantee in the amount of $45 million, which we refer to as the Historic Bank Guarantee, to support that indemnification obligation. The amount of the Historic Bank Guarantee might be insufficient to fully cover Historic Taxes that might be imposed. Furthermore, although not expected, there could be circumstances in which the Historic Bank Guarantee is reduced or terminated prior to the extinguishment of the resulting tax liabilities.

Misys also has agreed to indemnify us from taxes imposed on us as a result of the Exchange and from taxes imposed on us relating to certain withholding taxes, including any liability for failing to withhold certain taxes. Those indemnification obligations are not supported by any bank guarantees.

If we are unable to finance the repurchase of shares from Misys, the Eclipsys Merger will not be completed.

We intend to finance the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement with debt financing, existing cash balances and cash flow from operations. To this end, and to provide for ongoing working capital for general corporate purposes after the Eclipsys Merger, we have received commitments from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, UBS Loan Finance LLC and certain of their affiliates for a $570 million senior

secured term loan facility and a $150 million senior secured revolving facility, each of which is expected to close upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions. The Commitment Letter includes customary conditions to funding, including the completion of definitive documentation, the absence of a material adverse change in our and our subsidiaries’ business, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), financial condition or results of operations consistent with the definition in the Merger Agreement, the absence of material modification to the Framework Agreement and related documentation unless approved by the initial arrangers of the financing, the delivery of financial information and other customary closing deliveries, the receipt of corporate credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P, the perfection of liens, our solvency and the solvency of our subsidiaries after giving effect to the Coniston Transactions (other than the Eclipsys Merger) and a pro forma ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA for us and our subsidiaries not in excess of 4.0 to 1.0 (giving effect to the Eclipsys Merger on a pro forma basis to the extent the Eclipsys Merger will close substantially simultaneously with the Coniston Transactions). If the financing described in the Commitment Letter is not available on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter, other financing may not be available on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. If other financing becomes necessary and we are unable to secure such additional financing, the Coniston Transactions will not be completed and, as a result, the Eclipsys Merger will not be completed.

Risks Related to Our Business

If physicians and hospitals do not accept our products and services, or delay in deciding whether to purchase our products and services, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Our business model depends on our ability to sell our products and services. Acceptance of our products and services requires physicians and hospitals to adopt different behavior patterns and new methods of conducting business and exchanging information. We cannot assure you that physicians and hospitals will integrate our products and services into their workflow or that participants in the healthcare market will accept our products and services as a replacement for traditional methods of conducting healthcare transactions. Achieving market acceptance for our products and services will require substantial sales and marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant financial and other resources to create awareness and demand by participants in the healthcare industry. If we fail to achieve broad acceptance of our products and services by physicians, hospitals and other healthcare industry participants or if we fail to position our services as a preferred method for information management and healthcare delivery, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We may not see the benefits of government programs initiated to accelerate the adoption and utilization of health information technology and to counter the effects of the current economic situation.

While government programs initiated to improve the efficiency within the health care sector and counter the effects of the current economic situation include expenditures to stimulate business and accelerate the adoption and utilization of health care technology, we cannot assure you that we will receive any of those funds. For example, the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), authorizes approximately $30 billion in expenditures, including discretionary funding, to further adoption of electronic health records. Although we believe that our service offerings will meet the requirements of the HITECH Act in order for our clients to qualify for financial incentives for implementing and using our services, there can be no certainty that any of the planned financial incentives, if made, will be made in regard to our services. We also cannot predict the speed at which physicians will adopt electronic health record systems in response to such government incentives, whether physicians will select our products and services or whether physicians will implement an electronic health record system at all. Any delay in the purchase and implementation of electronic health records systems by physicians in response to government programs, or the failure of physicians to purchase an electronic health record system, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to compete successfully could cause our revenue or market share to decline.

The market for our products and services is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and product standards, technology and user needs and the frequent introduction of new products and services. Some of our competitors may be more established, benefit from greater name recognition and have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. Moreover, we expect that competition will continue to increase as a result of consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries. If one or more of our competitors or potential competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. We compete on the basis of several factors, including:

•

breadth and depth of services;

•

reputation;

•

reliability, accuracy and security;

•

client service;

•

price; and

•

industry expertise and experience.

Our clinical solutions segment’s principal competitors include athenahealth Inc., Cerner Corporation, eClinicalWorks Inc., Epic Systems Corporation, Emdeon Business Services LLC, General Electric Company, Aprima Medical Software (formerly iMedica Corporation), McKesson Corporation, Quality Systems, Inc., Sage Software, Inc., The Trizetto Group, Inc., and Wellsoft Corporation.

Our key competitors in the EDIS market include MedHost, Meditech, Picis and WellSoft. In the care management market, primary competitors include eDischarge, Maxsys Ltd., Meditech, Midas+ and ProviderLink.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that the competitive pressures that we face will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

It is difficult to predict the sales cycle and implementation schedule for our software solutions.

The duration of the sales cycle and implementation schedule for our software solutions depends on a number of factors, including the nature and size of the potential customer and the extent of the commitment being made by the potential customer, which is difficult to predict. Our sales and marketing efforts with respect to hospitals and large health organizations generally involve a lengthy sales cycle due to these organizations’ complex decision-making processes. Additionally, in light of increased government involvement in healthcare, and related changes in the operating environment for healthcare organizations, our current and potential customers may react by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our services. If potential customers take longer than we expect to decide whether to purchase our solutions, our selling expenses could increase and our revenues could decrease, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If customers take longer than we expect to implement our solutions, our recognition of related revenue would be delayed, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future success depends upon our ability to grow, and if we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may incur unexpected expenses and be unable to meet our customers’ requirements.

We will need to expand our operations if we successfully achieve market acceptance for our products and services. We cannot be certain that our systems, procedures, controls and existing space will be adequate to support expansion of our operations. Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our officers and

key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our technical, administrative, financial control and reporting systems. We may not be able to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases. Difficulties in managing any future growth, including as a result of the Eclipsys Merger, could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations because we may incur unexpected expenses and be unable to meet our customers’ requirements.

Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our business.

Our ability to provide high-quality services to our clients depends in large part upon our employees’ experience and expertise. We must attract and retain highly qualified personnel with a deep understanding of the healthcare and health information technology industries. We compete with a number of companies for experienced personnel and many of these companies, including clients and competitors, have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to clients and competitors who may seek to recruit them and increases the costs of replacing them. If we fail to retain our employees, the quality of our services could diminish and this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we lose the services of our key personnel, we may be unable to replace them, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success largely depends on the continued skills, experience, efforts and policies of our management and other key personnel and our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees. In particular, the services of Glen E. Tullman, our Chief Executive Officer, are integral to the execution of our business strategy. If one or more of our key employees leaves our employment, we will have to find a replacement with the combination of skills and attributes necessary to execute our strategy. Because competition for skilled employees is intense, and the process of finding qualified individuals can be lengthy and expensive, we believe that the loss of the services of key personnel could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will continue to retain such personnel. We do not maintain keyman insurance for any of our key employees.

If we are unable to successfully introduce new products or services or fail to keep pace with advances in technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The successful implementation of our business model depends on our ability to adapt to evolving technologies and industry standards and introduce new products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to introduce new products on schedule, or at all, or that such products will achieve market acceptance. Moreover, competitors may develop competitive products that could adversely affect our results of operations. A failure by us to introduce planned products or other new products or to introduce these products on schedule could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot adapt to changing technologies, our products and services may become obsolete, and our business could suffer. Because the health information technology market is characterized by rapid technological change, we may be unable to anticipate changes in our current and potential customers’ requirements that could make our existing technology obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products and services, develop new technology that addresses the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective customers, license leading technologies and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of our proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. We may not be successful in using new technologies effectively or adapting our proprietary technology to evolving customer requirements or emerging industry standards, and, as a result, our business could suffer.

Our business depends in part on and will continue to depend in part on our ability to establish and maintain additional strategic relationships.

To be successful, we must continue to maintain our existing strategic relationships and establish additional strategic relationships with leaders in a number of healthcare and health information technology industry segments. This is critical to our success because we believe that these relationships contribute towards our ability to:

•

extend the reach of our products and services to a larger number of physicians and hospitals and to other participants in the healthcare industry;

•

develop and deploy new products and services;

•

further enhance the Allscripts brand; and

•

generate additional revenue and cash flows.

Entering into strategic relationships is complicated because strategic partners may decide to compete with us in some or all of our markets. In addition, we may not be able to maintain or establish relationships with key participants in the healthcare industry if we conduct business with their competitors. We depend, in part, on our strategic partners’ ability to generate increased acceptance and use of our products and services. If we lose any of these strategic relationships or fail to establish additional relationships, or if our strategic relationships fail to benefit us as expected, we may not be able to execute our business plan, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities. In addition, future acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have taken, and, if an impairment occurs, could take, charges against earnings in connection with acquisitions.

If our products fail to perform properly due to errors or similar problems, our business could suffer.

Complex software, such as ours, often contains defects or errors, some of which may remain undetected for a period of time. It is possible that such errors may be found after introduction of new software or enhancements to existing software. We continually introduce new solutions and enhancements to our solutions, and, despite testing by us, it is possible that errors might occur in our software. If we detect any errors before we introduce a solution, we might have to delay deployment for an extended period of time while we address the problem. If we do not discover software errors that affect our new or current solutions or enhancements until after they are deployed, we would need to provide enhancements to correct such errors. Errors in our software could result in:

•

harm to our reputation;

•

lost sales;

•

delays in commercial release;

•

product liability claims;

•

delays in or loss of market acceptance of our solutions;

•

license terminations or renegotiations; and

•

unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to remedy errors.

Furthermore, our customers might use our software together with products from other companies. As a result, when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when our software

does not cause these problems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs, divert the attention of our technical personnel from our solution development efforts, impact our reputation and cause significant customer relations problems.

Our business depends on our intellectual property rights, and if we are unable to protect them, our competitive position may suffer.

Our business plan is predicated on our proprietary systems and technology products. Accordingly, protecting our intellectual property rights is critical to our continued success and our ability to maintain our competitive position. We protect our proprietary rights through a combination of trademark, trade secret and copyright law, confidentiality agreements and technical measures. We generally do not have any patents on our technology. We generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to our trade secrets and technology. We cannot assure you that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology. Misappropriation of our intellectual property would have an adverse effect on our competitive position. In addition, we may have to engage in litigation in the future to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights or to defend against claims of invalidity, and we may incur substantial costs and the diversion of management’s time and attention as a result.

If we are deemed to infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties, we could incur unanticipated expense and be prevented from providing our products and services.

We are and may continue to be subject to intellectual property infringement claims as our applications’ functionality overlaps with competitive products. We do not believe that we have infringed or are infringing on any proprietary rights of third parties. However, claims are occasionally asserted against us, and we cannot assure you that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future. Also, we cannot assure you that any such claims will be unsuccessful. We could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources defending any infringement claims. Furthermore, a party making a claim against us could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to provide products or services. In addition, we cannot assure you that licenses for any intellectual property of third parties that might be required for our products or services will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

If our content and service providers fail to perform adequately, or to comply with laws, regulations or contractual covenants, our reputation and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend on independent content and service providers for communications and information services and for many of the benefits we provide through our software applications and services, including the maintenance of managed care pharmacy guidelines, drug interaction reviews, the routing of transaction data to third-party payers and the hosting of our applications. Our ability to rely on these services could be impaired as a result of the failure of such providers to comply with applicable laws, regulations and contractual covenants, or as a result of events affecting such providers, such as power loss, telecommunication failures, software or hardware errors, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems, fire, flood and natural disasters. Any such failure or event could adversely affect our relationships with our customers and damage our reputation. This would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may have no means of replacing content or services on a timely basis or at all if they are inadequate or in the event of a service interruption or failure.

We also rely on independent content providers for the majority of the clinical, educational and other healthcare information that we provide. In addition, we depend on our content providers to deliver high quality content from reliable sources and to continually upgrade their content in response to demand and evolving healthcare industry trends. If these parties fail to develop and maintain high quality, attractive content, the value of our brand and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be impaired.

We may be liable for use of content we provide.

We provide content for use by healthcare providers in treating patients. Third-party contractors provide us with most of this content. If this content is incorrect or incomplete, adverse consequences, including death, may occur and give rise to product liability and other claims against us. In addition, certain of our solutions provide applications that relate to patient clinical information, and a court or government agency may take the position that our delivery of health information directly, including through licensed practitioners, or delivery of information by a third party site that a consumer accesses through our websites, exposes us to personal injury liability, or other liability for wrongful delivery or handling of healthcare services or erroneous health information. While we maintain product liability insurance coverage in an amount that we believe is sufficient for our business, we cannot assure you that this coverage will prove to be adequate or will continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources.

If our security is breached, we could be subject to liability, and customers could be deterred from using our services.

Our business relies on electronic transmission of confidential patient and other information. We believe that any well-publicized compromise of our network security or a misappropriation of patient information or other data would adversely affect our reputation and would require us to devote significant financial and other resources to alleviate such problems. In addition, our existing or potential customers could be deterred from using our products and services, and we could be subject to possible liability and regulatory action. We could face financial loss, litigation and other liabilities to the extent that our activities or the activities of third-party contractors involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, such as patient records or credit information.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing for our future needs, our ability to respond to competitive pressures may be impaired and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our expansion, take advantage of potential acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or products, or respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.

If we are forced to reduce our prices, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

We may be subject to pricing pressures with respect to our future sales arising from various sources, including practices of managed care organizations, and government action affecting reimbursement under Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs. Our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship are affected by changes in statutes, regulations and limitations in governmental spending for Medicare, Medicaid and other programs. Recent government actions and future legislative and administrative changes could limit government spending for the Medicare and Medicaid programs, limit payments to hospitals and other providers, increase emphasis on competition, impose price controls and create other programs that potentially could have an adverse effect on our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship. If our pricing experiences significant downward pressure, our business will be less profitable and our results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, because cash from sales funds some of our working capital requirements, reduced profitability could require us to raise additional capital sooner than we would otherwise need.

If we incur costs exceeding our insurance coverage in lawsuits pending against us or that are brought against us in the future, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a defendant in lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the event we are found liable in any lawsuits filed against us, and if our insurance coverage were not available or inadequate to satisfy these liabilities, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to license and integrate third-party technologies could harm our business.

We depend upon licenses for some of the technology used in our solutions from third-party vendors, and intend to continue licensing technologies from third parties. These technologies might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Most of these licenses can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Our inability to obtain any of these licenses could delay development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive and our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us. Our use of third-party technologies exposes us to increased risks, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of new technology into our solutions, the diversion of our resources from development of our own proprietary technology and our inability to generate revenue from licensed technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs. In addition, if our vendors choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future or are unsuccessful in their continued research and development efforts, we might not be able to modify or adapt our own solutions.

If we fail to maintain and expand our business with our existing customers, or to effectively transition our customers to newer products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business model depends on the success of our efforts to sell additional products and services to our existing customers, including the sale of our electronic health record products to legacy MHS’ practice management customer base. Additionally, certain of our clinical solutions business unit customers initially purchase one or a limited number of our products and services. These customers might choose not to expand their use of, or purchase, additional modules. Also, as we deploy new applications and features for our existing solutions or introduce new solutions and services, our current customers could choose not to purchase these new offerings. If we fail to generate additional business from our current customers, our revenue could grow at a slower rate or even decrease.

In addition, the transition of our existing customers to current versions of our products presents certain risks, including the risk of data loss or corruption, or delays in completion. If such events occur, our client relationships and reputation could be damaged, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Potential subsidy of services similar to ours may reduce client demand.

Federal regulations have been changed to permit such subsidy from additional sources subject to certain limitations, and HITECH provides federal support for certain electronic medical record initiatives. To the extent that we do not qualify or participate in such subsidy programs, demand for our services may be reduced, which may decrease our revenues.

We rely on Misys for the provision of certain corporate services.

Pursuant to our Shared Services Agreement with Misys, as amended, Misys provides us with services including: (1) human resource functions such as administration, selection of benefit plans and designing employee survey and training programs, (2) management services, (3) procurement services such as travel arrangements, disaster recovery and vendor management, (4) research and development services such as software development, (5) access to information technology, telephony, facilities and other related services at Misys’ customer support center located in Manila, The Philippines; and (6) information system services such as planning, support and database administration. Prior to the closing of the 2008 Transactions, we did not rely on a third party for such services. If Misys fails to provide these services as required under the Shared Services Agreement or if the Shared Services Agreement were terminated for any reason, we might incur significant costs to obtain replacement services.

HITECH is resulting in new business imperatives, and failure to provide our clients with health information technology systems that are “certified” under HITECH could result in breach of some client obligations and put us at a competitive disadvantage.

HITECH, which is a part of ARRA, provides financial incentives for hospitals and doctors that are “meaningful electronic health record users,” and mandates use of health information technology systems that are “certified” according to technical standards developed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. HITECH also imposes certain requirements upon governmental agencies to use, and requires health care providers, health plans, and insurers contracting with such agencies to use, systems that are certified according to such standards. HITECH can adversely affect our business in at least three ways. First, we have invested and continue to invest in conforming our applicable clinical software to these standards and further significant investment will be required as certification standards evolve. Second, recently signed customers and new client prospects are requiring us to agree that our software will be certified according to applicable HITECH technical standards so that, assuming clients properly use the electronic health record software and satisfy the “meaningful use” and other requirements of HITECH, they will qualify for available incentive payments. We plan to meet these requirements as part of our normal software maintenance obligations, and failure to comply could result in costly contract breach and jeopardize our relationships with clients who are relying upon us to provide certified software. Third, if for some reason we are not able to comply with these HITECH standards in a timely fashion after their issuance, our offerings will be at a severe competitive disadvantage in the market to the offerings of other electronic health record vendors who have complied.

Changes in interoperability standards applicable to our software could require us to incur substantial additional development costs.

Our clients are concerned with and often require that our software solutions and healthcare devices be interoperable with other third party HIT suppliers. Market forces or governmental/regulatory authorities could create software interoperability standards that would apply to our solutions, and if our software solutions and/or healthcare devices are not consistent with those standards, we could be forced to incur substantial additional development costs. The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) has developed a comprehensive set of criteria for the functionality, interoperability and security of various software modules in the HIT industry. CCHIT, however, continues to modify and refine those standards. Achieving CCHIT certification is becoming a competitive requirement, resulting in increased software development and administrative expense to conform to these requirements. These standards and specifications, once finalized, will be subject to interpretation by the entities designated to certify such technology. We will incur increased development costs in delivering solutions if we need to upgrade our software and healthcare devices to be in compliance with these varying and evolving standards, and delays may result in connection therewith. If our software solutions and healthcare devices are not consistent with these evolving standards, our market position and sales could be impaired and we may have to invest significantly in changes to our software solutions and healthcare devices, although we do not expect such costs to be significant in relation to the overall development costs for our solutions.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We are subject to a number of existing laws, regulations and industry initiatives, non-compliance with certain of which could materially adversely affect our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we are susceptible to a changing regulatory environment.

As a participant in the healthcare industry, our operations and relationships, and those of our customers, are regulated by a number of federal, state and local governmental entities. The impact of this regulation on us is direct, to the extent we are ourselves subject to these laws and regulations, and is also indirect in that, in a number of situations, even though we may not be directly regulated by specific healthcare laws and regulations, our products must be capable of being used by our customers in a manner that complies with those laws and regulations. Inability of our customers to do so could affect the marketability of our products or our compliance with our customer contracts, or even expose us to direct liability on a theory that we had assisted our customers in a violation of healthcare laws or regulations. Because our business relationships with physicians are unique, and the healthcare technology industry as a whole is relatively young, the application of many state and federal regulations to our business operations and to our customers is uncertain. Indeed, there are federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback laws and limitations on physician referrals, and laws related to distribution and marketing, including off-label promotion of prescription drugs that may be directly or indirectly applicable to our operations and relationships or the business practices of our customers. It is possible that a review of our business practices or those of our customers by courts or regulatory authorities could result in a determination that could adversely affect us. In addition, the healthcare regulatory environment may change in a way that restricts our existing operations or our growth. The healthcare industry is expected to continue to undergo significant changes for the foreseeable future, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the effect of possible future legislation and regulation.

Specific risks include, but are not limited to, risks relating to:

•

Patient Information. As part of the operation of our business, our customers provide to us patient-identifiable medical information related to the prescription drugs that they prescribe and other aspects of patient treatment. Government and industry legislation and rulemaking, especially the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), HITECH and standards and requirements published by industry groups such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, require the use of standard transactions, standard identifiers, security and other standards and requirements for the transmission of certain electronic health information. National standards and procedures under HIPAA include the “ Standards for Electronic Transactions and Code Sets ”(the Transaction Standards); the “ Security Standards ” (the Security Standards); and the “ Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information ” (the Privacy Standards). The Transaction Standards require the use of specified data coding, formatting and content in all specified “Health Care Transactions” conducted electronically. The Security Standards require the adoption of specified types of security for certain patient identifiable health information (called Protected Health Information). The Privacy Standards grant a number of rights to individuals as to their Protected Health Information and restrict the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information by Covered Entities, defined as “health plans,” “health care providers, “and “health care clearinghouses.” We have reviewed our activities and believe that we are a Covered Entity to the extent that we maintain a “group health plan” for the benefit of our employees. We have taken steps we believe to be appropriate and required to bring our group health plan into compliance with HIPAA and HITECH. For our operating functions, we believe that we are a hybrid entity, with both covered and non-covered functions under HIPAA. The Payerpath portion of our business qualifies as a health care clearinghouse when it files electronic health care claims on behalf of health care providers that are subject to HIPAA and HITECH and we have instituted policies and procedures to comply with HIPAA and HITECH in that role. With respect to our other business functions, we do not believe we are a Covered Entity as a health care provider or as a health care

clearinghouse; however, the definition of a health care clearinghouse is broad and we cannot offer any assurance that we could not be considered a health care clearinghouse under HIPAA or that, if we are determined to be a healthcare clearinghouse, the consequences would not be adverse to our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain provisions of the Privacy and Security Standards apply to third parties that create, access, or receive Protected Health Information in order to perform a function or activity on behalf of a Covered Entity. Such third parties are called “Business Associates.” Covered Entities must have a written “Business Associate Agreement” with such third parties, containing specified written satisfactory assurances, consistent with the Privacy and Security Standards and HITECH and its implementing regulations, that the third party will safeguard Protected Health Information that it creates or accesses and will fulfill other material obligations. Most of our customers are Covered Entities, and we function in many of our relationships as a Business Associate of those customers. We would face liability under our Business Associate Agreements and HIPAA and HITECH if we do not comply with our Business Associate obligations and applicable provisions of the Privacy and Security Standards and HITECH and its implementing regulations. The penalties for a violation of HIPAA or HITECH are significant and could have an adverse impact upon our business, financial condition and results of operations, if such penalties ever were imposed. Additionally, Covered Entities that are providers are required to adopt a unique standard National Provider Identifier (NPI) for use in filing and processing health care claims and other transactions. Subject to the discussion set forth above, we believe that the principal effects of HIPAA are, first, to require that our systems be capable of being operated by us and our customers in a manner that is compliant with the various HIPAA standards and, second, to require us to enter into and comply with Business Associate Agreements with our Covered Entity customers. For most Covered Entities, the deadlines for compliance with the Privacy Standards and the Transaction Standards occurred in 2003. Covered Entities, with the exception of small health plans (as that term is defined by the Privacy Standards), were required to be in compliance with the Security Standards by April 20, 2005 and to use NPIs in standard transactions no later than the compliance dates, which was May 23, 2007, for all but small health plans, and May 23, 2008 for small health plans. We have policies and procedures that we believe comply with all federal and state confidentiality requirements for the handling of Protected Health Information that we receive and with our obligations under Business Associate Agreements. In particular, we believe that our systems and products are capable of being used by or for our customers in compliance with the Transaction Standards and Security Standards and are capable of being used by or for our customers in compliance with the NPI requirements. If, however, we do not follow those procedures and policies, or they are not sufficient to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of Protected Health Information, we could be subject to civil and/or criminal liability, fines and lawsuits, termination of our customer contracts or our operations could be shut down. Moreover, because all HIPAA Standards and HITECH implementing regulations and guidance are subject to change or interpretation, we cannot predict the full future impact of HIPAA or HITECH on our business and operations. In the event that the HIPAA or HITECH standards and compliance requirements change or are interpreted in a way that requires any material change to the way in which we do business, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, certain state laws are not preempted by HIPAA and HITECH and may impose independent obligations upon our customers or us. Additional legislation governing the acquisition, storage and transmission or other dissemination of health record information and other personal information, including social security numbers, has been proposed at the state level. There can be no assurance that changes to state or federal laws will not materially restrict the ability of providers to submit information from patient records using our products and services.

•

Electronic Prescribing. The use of our software by physicians to perform a variety of functions, including electronic prescribing, electronic routing of prescriptions to pharmacies and dispensing, is governed by state and federal law, including fraud and abuse laws. States have differing prescription format requirements, which we have programmed into our software. Many existing laws and regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate methods of e-commerce now being developed. While federal law and the laws of many states permit the electronic transmission of certain prescription orders,

the laws of several states neither specifically permit nor specifically prohibit the practice. Restrictions exist, however, on the use of e-prescribing for controlled substances and certain other drugs. Given the rapid growth of electronic transactions in healthcare, and particularly the growth of the Internet, we expect the remaining states to directly address these areas with regulation in the near future. In addition, on November 7, 2005, the Department of Health and Human Services published its final “E-Prescribing and the Prescription Drug Program” regulations (E-Prescribing Regulations). These regulations are required by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) and became effective beginning on January 1, 2006. The E-Prescribing Regulations consist of detailed standards and requirements, in addition to the HIPAA Standard discussed above, for prescription and other information transmitted electronically in connection with a drug benefit covered by the MMA’s Prescription Drug Benefit. These standards cover not only transactions between prescribers and dispensers for prescriptions but also electronic eligibility and benefits inquiries and drug formulary and benefit coverage information. The standards apply to prescription drug plans participating in the MMA’s Prescription Drug Benefit. Other rules governing e-prescribing apply to other areas of Medicare and to Medicaid. The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) authorized a new and separate incentive program for individual eligible professionals who are successful electronic prescribers as defined by MIPPA. This new incentive is separate from and is in addition to the quality reporting incentive program authorized by Division B of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006—Medicare Improvements and Extension Act of 2006 and known as the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI). Eligible professionals do not need to participate in PQRI to participate in the E-Prescribing Incentive Program. For the 2009 e-prescribing reporting year, to be a successful e-prescriber and to receive an incentive payment, an individual eligible professional must report one e- prescribing measure in at least 50% of the cases in which the measure is reportable by the eligible professional during 2009. There is no sign-up or pre- registration to participate in the E-Prescribing Incentive Program. However, there are certain limitations for participation. To the extent that these new initiatives and regulations foster the accelerated adoption of e-prescribing, our business could benefit. But, as we note below, there is no assurance that these government-sponsored efforts will succeed in spurring greater adoption of e-prescribing. Moreover, regulations in this area impose certain requirements which can be burdensome and they are evolving and subject to change at any moment, meaning that any potential benefits may be reversed by a newly-promulgated regulation that adversely affects our business model. Aspects of our clinical products are affected by such regulation because of the need of our customers to comply, as discussed above. Compliance with these regulations could be burdensome, time-consuming and expensive. We also could become subject to future legislation and regulations concerning the development and marketing of healthcare software systems. For example, regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services may impose functionality standards with regard to electronic prescribing and electronic health record technologies. These could increase the cost and time necessary to market new services and could affect us in other respects not presently foreseeable.

•

Electronic Health Records. A number of important federal and state laws govern the use and content of electronic health record systems, including fraud and abuse laws that may affect the donation of such technology. As a company that provides electronic health record systems to a variety of providers of healthcare, our systems and services must be designed in a manner that facilitates our customers’ compliance with these laws. Because this is a topic of increasing state and federal regulation, we must continue to monitor legislative and regulatory developments that might affect our business practices as they relate to electronic health record systems. We cannot predict the content or effect of possible future regulation on our business practices. Also, as described above under “Risks Related to Our Business,” our Allscripts Enterprise EHR, Allscripts Professional EHR and Allscripts MyWay electronic health record are each certified by CCHIT as meeting CCHIT’s certification standards for functionality, interoperability and security. Our failure to maintain CCHIT certification or otherwise meet industry standards would adversely impact our business.

•

Claims Transmission. Our system electronically transmits claims for prescription medications dispensed by physicians to patients’ payers for immediate approval and reimbursement. Federal law provides that it is both a civil and a criminal violation for any person to submit, or cause to be submitted, a claim to any payer, including, without limitation, Medicare, Medicaid and all private health plans and managed care plans, seeking payment for any services or products that overbills or bills for items that have not been provided to the patient. We have in place policies and procedures that we believe assure that all claims that are transmitted by our system are accurate and complete, provided that the information given to us by our customers is also accurate and complete. If, however, we do not follow those procedures and policies, or they are not sufficient to prevent inaccurate claims from being submitted, we could be subject to liability. As discussed above, the HIPAA Transaction Standards and the HIPAA Security Standards also affect our claims transmission services, since those services must be structured and provided in a way that supports our customers’ HIPAA compliance obligations. Furthermore, to the extent that there is some type of security breach, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

•

Medical Devices. Certain computer software products are regulated as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a draft policy for the regulation of computer software products as medical devices. The draft policy is not binding on the industry or the FDA. To the extent that computer software is a medical device under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, we, as a manufacturer of such products, could be required, depending on the product, to register and list our products with the FDA; notify the FDA and demonstrate substantial equivalence to other products on the market before marketing such products; or obtain FDA approval by demonstrating safety and effectiveness before marketing a product. Depending on the intended use of a device, the FDA could require us to obtain extensive data from clinical studies to demonstrate safety or effectiveness or substantial equivalence. If the FDA requires this data, we could be required to obtain approval of an investigational device exemption before undertaking clinical trials. Clinical trials can take extended periods of time to complete. We cannot provide assurances that the FDA will approve or clear a device after the completion of such trials. In addition, these products would be subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act’s general controls, including those relating to good manufacturing practices and adverse experience reporting. We expect that the FDA is likely to become increasingly active in regulating computer software intended for use in healthcare settings regardless of whether the draft policy is ever revised or finalized. The FDA can impose extensive requirements governing pre- and post-market conditions like approval, labeling and manufacturing. In addition, the FDA can impose extensive requirements governing product design controls and quality assurance processes. Failure to comply with FDA requirements can result in criminal and civil fines and penalties, product seizure, injunction, and civil monetary policies—each of which could have an adverse affect on our business.

•

Red Flag Rules. As of November 1, 2009, medical practices that act as “creditors” to their patients were required to comply with new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules promulgated under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 that are aimed at reducing the risk of identity theft. These rules require creditors to adopt policies and procedures that identify patterns, practices, or activities that indicate possible identity theft (called “red flags”); detect those red flags; and respond appropriately to those red flags to prevent or mitigate any theft. The rules also require creditors to update their policies and procedures on a regular basis. Because most practices treat their patients without receiving full payment at the time of service, our clients are generally considered “creditors” for purposes of these rules and are required to comply with them. Although we are not directly subject to these rules—since we do not extend credit to customers—we do handle patient data that, if improperly disclosed, could be used in identity theft. On May 28, 2010, the FTC announced that it would delay enforcement of the Red Flag Rule until January 1, 2011.

Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) (the “Reconciliation Act”), which amends the PPACA (collectively the “Health Reform Laws”), were signed into law in March 2010. The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions which may impact us and our customers. Some of these provisions may have a positive impact, by expanding the use of electronic health records in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. Increases in fraud and abuse penalties may also adversely affect participants in the health care sector, including us.

Increased government involvement in healthcare could adversely affect our business.

U.S. healthcare system reform at both the federal and state level, could increase government involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates and otherwise change the business environment of our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship. We cannot predict whether or when future healthcare reform initiatives at the federal or state level or other initiatives affecting our business will be proposed, enacted or implemented or what impact those initiatives may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship could react to these initiatives and the uncertainty surrounding these proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our products and services. Additionally, the government has signaled increased enforcement activity targeting healthcare fraud and abuse, which could adversely impact our business, either directly or indirectly. To the extent that our customers, most of whom are providers, may be affected by this increased enforcement environment, our business could correspondingly be affected. Additionally, government regulation could alter the clinical workflow of physicians, hospitals and other healthcare participants, thereby limiting the utility of our products and services to existing and potential customers and curtailing broad acceptance of our products and services. Further examples of government involvement could include requiring the standardization of technology relating to electronic health records, providing customers with incentives to adopt electronic health record solutions or developing a low-cost government sponsored electronic health record solution, such as VistA-Office electronic health record. Additionally, certain safe harbors to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and corresponding exceptions to the federal Stark law may alter the competitive landscape. These safe harbors and exceptions are intended to accelerate the adoption of electronic prescription systems and electronic health records systems, and therefore provide new and attractive opportunities for us to work with hospitals and other donors who wish to provide our solutions to physicians. At the same time, such safe harbors and exceptions may result in increased competition from providers of acute electronic health record solutions, whose hospital customers may seek to donate their existing acute electronic health record solutions to physicians for use in ambulatory settings.

If the electronic healthcare information market fails to develop as quickly as expected, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The electronic healthcare information market is in the early stages of development and is rapidly evolving. A number of market entrants have introduced or developed products and services that are competitive with one or more components of the solutions we offer. We expect that additional companies will continue to enter this market, especially in response to recent government subsidies. In new and rapidly evolving industries, there is significant uncertainty and risk as to the demand for, and market acceptance of, recently introduced products and services. Because the markets for our products and services are new and evolving, we are not able to predict the size and growth rate of the markets with any certainty. We cannot assure you that markets for our products and services will develop or that, if they do, they will be strong and continue to grow at a sufficient pace. If markets fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many healthcare industry participants are consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, thus decreasing the number of market participants, competition to provide products and services like ours will become more intense, and the importance of establishing relationships with key industry participants will become greater. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. Further, consolidation of management and billing services through integrated delivery systems may decrease demand for our products. If we were forced to reduce our prices, our business would become less profitable unless we were able to achieve corresponding reductions in our expenses.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Misys has the voting power to block our future business combinations.

Under our amended and restated charter and by-laws, approval of actions by stockholders requires a majority of the shares of common stock present in person and entitled to vote on the matter except as otherwise required by Delaware law. Because of the size of Misys’ interest in us, Misys has the ability to control or significantly influence the outcome of all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, subject to the voting agreements contained in the Relationship Agreement. The interests of Misys may differ from those of other holders of our common stock in material respects. For example, Misys may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to other holders of our common stock, or vice versa. Additionally, Misys may determine that the disposition of some or all of its interests in us would be beneficial to Misys at a time when such disposition could be detrimental to the other holders of our common stock. In addition, it will likely be impracticable (as long as Misys retains a majority ownership stake) for a third party to acquire us through a merger or similar business combination without Misys’ approval.

Misys has the right to appoint a majority of our directors.

Until the completion of the Exchange and the Share Repurchase, Misys is entitled, under the Relationship Agreement, to nominate six of our ten directors, as well as the Chairman of the Board. Misys’ rights to nominate a specific number of directors set forth in the Relationship Agreement will continue so long as it owns specified percentages of our common stock as follows:

•

If, at any time, Misys owns less than 50.0% but more than or equal to 45.0% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys will have the right to nominate five directors;

•

If, at any time, Misys owns less than 45.0% but more than or equal to 35.0% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys will have the right to nominate four directors;

•

If, at any time, Misys owns less than 35.0% but more than or equal to 25.0% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys will have the right to nominate three directors;

•

If, at any time, Misys owns less than 25.0% but more than or equal to 15.0% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys will have the right to nominate two directors;

•

If, at any time, Misys owns less than 15.0% but more than or equal to 5.0% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys will have the right to nominate one director; and

•

If, at any time, Misys owns less than 5.0% of the number of then outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys will have no right to nominate any directors.

As a result, Misys nominated directors control or significantly influence matters submitted to a vote of our directors and have the ability to remove and replace our executive officers and Misys nominated directors would retain influence even if Misys were to sell significant portions of our common stock as detailed above.

Upon completion of the Exchange and the Share Repurchase, Allscripts and Misys will amend and restate the Relationship Agreement. Under the amended and restated Relationship Agreement, Misys will be entitled to nominate two directors, which will be permanently reduced to one director if Misys owns less than 15.5 million shares of Allscripts common stock, and which right will be permanently eliminated if Misys owns less than 5.0% of the then outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock or violates certain items of the standstill provision set forth in the Framework Agreement.

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock that we may issue and our ability to raise funds in new securities offerings.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market (including the Secondary Offering), or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. As of July 16, 2010, we had approximately:

•

146.5 million shares of common stock outstanding;

•

3.1 million shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $3.34 per share); and

•

3.5 million shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance to settle outstanding restricted stock units.

In connection with our acquisition strategy, we may issue shares of our common stock as consideration in other acquisition transactions. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for future sale will have on the trading price of our common stock.

Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect holders of our common stock and discourage a takeover.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 1 million shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors also has the power, without stockholder approval, to set the terms of any series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights (except that shares of preferred stock may not have more than one vote per share), dividend rights, preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends or in the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up and other terms. In the event that we issue preferred stock in the future that has preference over our common stock with respect to payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock that is convertible into our common stock at greater than a one-to-one ratio, the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders may impede a takeover of us and prevent a transaction favorable to the holders of our common stock.

Our goodwill, which increased as a result of the 2008 Transactions, could become impaired and adversely affect our net worth and the market value of our common stock.

Under the purchase method of accounting, our assets and liabilities were recorded, as of completion of the 2008 Transactions, at their respective fair values and added to those of Misys, which are carried at their book values. The purchase price for the 2008 Transactions was allocated to legacy Allscripts’ tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets, based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the merger. The excess of $331 million of such price over those fair values has been recorded as goodwill. Goodwill and other acquired intangibles expected to contribute indefinitely to our cash flows are not amortized, but must be evaluated by management at least annually for impairment. To the extent the value of goodwill or intangibles becomes impaired, we may be required to incur material charges relating to such impairment. Such a potential impairment charge could have a material impact on our operating results.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have an adverse effect on our business and the trading price of our common stock.

Commencing in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, we must include legacy Misys in its system and process evaluation and testing of internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered certified public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission granted us relief from including legacy Misys in such evaluation and testing for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. Prior to the completion of the 2008 Transactions, Misys had not performed the system and process evaluation and testing of its internal control over financial reporting. This testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered certified public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in the combined entity’s internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Moreover, if the combined entity is not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if it or its independent registered certified public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in the combined Allscripts-Misys’ internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.

The market price of our common stock is volatile and could fluctuate significantly in response to the factors described above and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

•

announcements of technological innovations or new services or products by our competitors or us;

•

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

•

conditions and trends in the electronic healthcare information, Internet, e-commerce and pharmaceutical markets; and

•

general market conditions and other factors.

In addition, the stock markets, especially The NASDAQ Global Select Market, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies and Internet-related companies in particular. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. These broad market factors may materially affect the trading price of our common stock. General economic, political and market conditions such as recessions and interest rate fluctuations may also have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Volatility in the market price for our common stock may result in the filing of securities class action litigation.

Our quarterly operating results may vary.

Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past, and we expect that our quarterly operating results will continue to vary in future periods depending on a number of factors, some of which we have no control over, including customers’ budgetary constraints and internal acceptance procedures, seasonal variances in demand for our products and services, the sales, service and implementation cycles for our software products, potential downturns in the healthcare market and in economic conditions generally, and other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.

We base our expense levels in part upon our expectations concerning future revenue, and these expense levels are relatively fixed in the short term. If we have lower revenue than expected, we may not be able to reduce our spending in the short term in response. Any shortfall in revenue would have a direct impact on our results of operations. In addition, our product sales cycle for larger sales is lengthy and unpredictable, making it

difficult to estimate our future bookings for any given period. If we do not achieve projected booking targets for a given period, securities analysts may change their recommendations on our common stock. For these and other reasons, we may not meet the earnings estimates of securities analysts or investors, and our stock price could suffer.

If we fail to comply with financial covenants under the Credit Facility, our results of operation and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as hereinafter defined, contains certain financial covenants, including interest coverage and total leverage ratios. If we fail to comply with these covenants, an event of default may occur, resulting in, among other things, the requirement to immediately repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operation, financial condition or the price of our common stock.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of NASDAQ rules and, as a result, are exempt from certain corporate governance and other requirements under the rules of NASDAQ.

For so long as Misys or any other entity or group owns more than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of NASDAQ rules and, as a result, qualify for exceptions from certain corporate governance and other requirements of the rules of NASDAQ. Pursuant to these exceptions, we have elected not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements of NASDAQ, including the requirements (i) that a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) that we have a nominating/corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors and (iii) that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, our stockholders do not have the same protections afforded to equityholders of entities that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of NASDAQ. As a result of the Coniston Transactions, Misys will cease to own more than 50% of the total voting power of Allscripts common stock, and our exemption from the applicable NASDAQ corporate governance and other requirements will terminate.

Sales of our common stock by Misys may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

While the shares of our common stock owned by Misys are not registered and are subject to transfer restrictions, sales of a large number of such shares, or even the perception that these sales may occur, could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. We entered into a registration rights agreement with Misys and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries on June 9, 2010. Under the registration rights agreement, for as long as Misys owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, Misys may require us to file a registration statement under the federal securities laws registering the sale of all or a portion of the shares of our common stock owned by Misys that are not otherwise freely tradable, and Misys may, for a period of three years, participate in any registration statement proposed to be effected by us, subject to certain limitations.

We had 146,367 and 142,397 common shares issued and outstanding at May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On July 16, 2010, we had approximately 432 common stock holders of record. On October 17, 2008, the Company paid a special cash dividend of $5.23 per share in connection with the 2008 Transactions. Other than this special cash dividend, we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently do not intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Under the stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors on February 10, 2009, the Company may purchase up to $150,000 of its common stock over two years. Repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases also have been made from Misys pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2009 (the “Misys Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Misys, Misys Patriot Ltd., Misys Patriot US Holdings LLC and Allscripts. The aggregate amount of shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan, whether pursuant to any 10b5-1 plan, Rule 10b-18 or the Repurchase Agreement, will not exceed the lesser of $150,000 (including commissions) or 15,000 shares. During the quarter ended May 31, 2009, the Company repurchased and cancelled 2,349 shares of common stock from the open market and 3,075 shares of common stock from Misys. In total through May 31, 2010, the Company has repurchased 5,424 shares of common stock at an average price (excluding commissions) of $9.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $51,547. There were no shares repurchased during fiscal year 2010. The remaining authorized amount for stock repurchase under the program is approximately $98,453, which program will terminate on February 10, 2011. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Misys Repurchase Agreement will be terminated following closing of the Coniston Transactions.

Results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2009 include the results of operations of legacy MHS for the full year ended May 31, 2009 and the results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included from the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Since the 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. Results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are the results of operations of legacy MHS only.

(2)

For the years ended May 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the basic and diluted share count includes only the shares issued to Misys plc in connection with the 2008 Transactions. MHS did not have any shares outstanding prior to the merger, and therefore, the basic and diluted share count is comprised of the Allscripts shares issued on the October 10, 2008 acquisition date for all periods prior to the acquisition date as this reflects the Allscripts shares equivalent of MHS equity prior to the acquisition.

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts closed on the sale of its prepackaged medications business to A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”). Under terms of the sale, Allscripts received a total of $8,000 in cash consideration during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. In addition, Allscripts entered into a Marketing Agreement with A-S on March 16, 2009 which provides that Allscripts will earn annual fees for providing various marketing services of $3,600 per year over the five year term for an expected total of approximately $18,000, subject to reduction in certain circumstances. The results of operations for fiscal 2009 include the prepackaged medications business from the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through the March 16, 2009 closing of its sale to A-S. The prepackaged medications business has not been disclosed as discontinued operations due to Allscripts’ continued involvement with A-S through the Marketing Agreement.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with “Selected Financial Data”, our consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes to these financial statements, and the other financial information that appears elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Misys Merger

On October 10, 2008, in accordance with the transactions (the “2008 Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17, 2008 by and among Misys plc, (“Misys”), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“legacy Allscripts”), Misys Healthcare Systems (“MHS” or “legacy MHS”) and Patriot Merger Company, LLC (“Patriot”) a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes was completed that consisted of (i) the cash payment to legacy Allscripts by an affiliate of Misys of approximately $330,000 and (ii) the merger of Patriot with and into MHS, with MHS being the surviving company. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of legacy Allscripts and the newly combined entity was renamed Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“Allscripts” or the “Company”). In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, Allscripts issued an aggregate of 82,886 shares of its common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock. The 2008 Transactions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Under the purchase method of accounting, with MHS as the accounting “acquirer,” the assets and liabilities of legacy Allscripts were recorded, as of October 10, 2008, at their fair values and added to those of MHS, which are carried at their book values.

Basis of Presentation

The 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. As such, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. The results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the date of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008.

Business Overview

Allscripts is a leading provider of clinical software, services, information and connectivity solutions that empower physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver best-in-class patient safety, clinical outcomes and financial results. Our businesses provide innovative solutions that inform physicians with just right, just in time information, connect physicians to each other and to the entire community of care, and transform healthcare, improving both the quality and efficiency of care. We provide various clinical software applications, including Electronic Health Records (EHR), practice management, revenue cycle management, clearinghouse services, electronic prescribing, Emergency Department Information System (EDIS), hospital care management and discharge management solutions, document imaging solutions, and a variety of solutions for home care and other post-acute facilities. We have reported our financial results utilizing three business segments: clinical solutions, health solutions and prepackaged medications. However, on March 16, 2009, we disposed of our prepackaged medications business and, as a result, will, in respect of future periods, report financial results in our two remaining segments, clinical solutions and health solutions.

Our clinical solutions segment includes both our Enterprise business for large physician practices and Integrated Delivery Networks, and our Professional business for smaller or independent physician practices, providing such practices with clinical and practice management software solutions and related services. Our award-winning EHR solutions are designed to enhance physician productivity using tablet PCs, wireless

handheld devices or desktop workstations for the purpose of automating the most common physician activities, including prescribing, dictating, ordering lab tests and viewing results, documenting clinical encounters and capturing charges, among others. Our practice management solutions combine scheduling and revenue cycle management tools in a single package with functionality including rules-based appointment scheduling, multi-resource and recurring appointment features, referral and eligibility indicators, and appointment and claims management. Our electronic prescribing solutions include a Web-based stand-alone solution offered free-of-charge to any licensed prescriber, and solutions that are integrated into each of our EHRs. And our Web-based suite of revenue cycle management and clearinghouse services solutions—available on a stand-alone basis or integrated into our practice management solutions—address every step in the reimbursement cycle for healthcare organizations, clearinghouses and payers.

Our health system solutions segment provides offerings for hospitals that are seeking Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) and care management solutions, as well as post-acute facilities such as home health providers, hospices and skilled nursing facilities. Allscripts ED (formerly HealthMatics ED) is an EDIS that electronically streamlines processes for large hospital Emergency Departments, including tracking, triage, nurse and physician charting, disposition and reporting. EmSTAT, a legacy EDIS product, offers similar functionality for streamlining the Emergency Department care process in small hospitals. Allscripts Care Management (formerly Canopy and ECIN) is a Web-based solution that streamlines and speeds the patient care management process by automating utilization, case, discharge and quality management processes relating to patient hospital visits. Allscripts Post Acute solutions include: Referral Management, Referral Management Plus, Allscripts Mobile and Core System Integration. These solutions streamline the transition of care process between hospitals and post-acute care facilities. Our solution for home health providers is an integrated system that combines business, clinical, and scheduling features into a single package, providing home health, hospice, and private duty organizations with a user friendly product that enables staff to work more effectively both inside and outside the office.

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts completed the sale of its Medications Services business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meds Agreement”) with A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”). Also at that time, Allscripts entered into a five-year marketing agreement (the “Marketing Agreement”) with A-S which requires that Allscripts provide various marketing services to A-S for compensation of $900 per quarter. Allscripts has continuing obligations requiring substantive performance under the Marketing Agreement, including the use of the Allscripts trade name, promotion of the products and service offerings of A-S with existing and future Allscripts’ customers, participation in the development and promotion of joint marketing materials, sharing of certain customer and sales lead information, and other related marketing service obligations. As a result of the Meds Agreement, there was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment during fiscal year 2010. There was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment prior to the 2008 Transactions, as this was a legacy Allscripts segment. For the services provided under the Marketing Agreement, Allscripts recorded revenue in the clinical solutions segment for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 of $3,600, $0 and $0, respectively.

We principally derive our revenue and cash flow from sales of our proprietary software and related hardware and professional services in the segments described above. These sales also are the basis for our complementary recurring service contracts for maintenance and transaction processing. See below for a discussion of our outlook for new orders and other factors that could have an impact on our revenue and cash flows.

We believe a combination of executive and legislative leadership at the federal level, industry standards provided by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) and other potential regulatory bodies, and federal incentives that exist today for e-prescribing and pay-for-quality initiatives, will quickly make electronic health records as common as practice management systems in all provider offices. We believe the stimulus and other provisions provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Stimulus”) will be the single biggest driver of healthcare IT adoption in our industry’s history since the requirement of electronic claims submissions. We believe that we are well positioned in the market to take

advantage of the material opportunity presented by the Stimulus and have begun to see a positive impact on new orders, particularly in our Enterprise products, in our fiscal ended 2010. However, we believe that the impact on new orders related to the Stimulus have been tempered by continued uncertainty around the Stimulus and related funding requirements and also due to the challenging economic conditions which have motivated customers and prospective customers to defer capital investments, conserve cash and move towards software subscription arrangements versus traditional licensing arrangements. Additionally, we face the following other material opportunities, challenges and risks related to the Stimulus, which are further described below: (i) developing adequate capacity to satisfy the potential increased demand; (ii) ensuring that we obtain applicable product certifications and our customers are able to achieve “meaningful use” as required by the Stimulus; (iii) taking advantage of demand trends; and (iv) positioning the Company, in the absence of final regulations, as a provider to potential government-funded health care providers.

Management has taken steps to position the Company to have what we believe will be adequate capacity to meet the significant additional demand that could result from new orders related to the Stimulus. These steps include supplementing our internal direct sales force with strategic distribution partners with established sales forces focused on practices with one to five providers. Further, we have taken steps to improve the efficiency of our approach to new system installations. Recently, the Company launched its “Ready” implementation program, which standardizes certain key processes across customer sites and decreases the number of hours required by our professional services team to enable installations of our clinical and practice management solutions. This strategy is predicated on repeatable, best practice workflows and was designed collaboratively by our services and development teams and is proprietary to the Company. Early results indicate that the Ready program has significantly reduced installation timeframes for an initial portion of our client base. Finally, the Company is exploring additional sources of potential capacity to complement its internal professional services organization through various third-party implementation alternatives in order to meet additional market demand.

In order for our customers to qualify for Stimulus funding, our products must meet various requirements for product certification under the Stimulus regulations, and must enable our customers to achieve “meaningful use,” as such term may be ultimately defined under the final Stimulus regulations. In July 2010, CMS published a display copy of a final rule setting forth “Stage 1” meaningful use regulations and other EHR incentive program requirements (“Meaningful Use Final Rule”). The Meaningful Use Final Rule provides for a phased approach to implementation of the meaningful use standards, with Stage 1 set forth in the Meaningful Use Final Rule and Stages 2 and 3 reserved for future rulemaking based upon the experiences with Stage 1. The Meaningful Use Final Rule additionally gives providers some flexibility and, for Stage 1, divides the meaningful use objectives into a “core” group of fifteen required objectives and a “menu set” from which providers may choose five out of 10 objectives to meet the definition of a meaningful user of certified EHR technology.

Additionally, in July 2010, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (“ONC”) published a display copy of a final rule establishing standards and implementation specifications that certified EHR technology will need to include to, at a minimum, support the achievement of meaningful use (“ONC Final Rule”). The ONC Final Rule requires the adoption of an initial set of standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria, and to more closely align such standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria with final meaningful use Stage 1 objectives and measures. Our ability to achieve product certification by CCHIT and/or other regulatory bodies, and the length, if any, of additional related development and other efforts required to meet evolving standards could materially impact our ability to maximize the market opportunity. Currently, given the maturity of our products, management does not believe the incremental development effort, if any, required to meet final meaningful use standards will be significant. Management has made product development a strategic focus, with development funding of 10% of revenues this fiscal year. Management has also positioned the current product portfolio to achieve certification via current and anticipated pathways in time for our customers to take maximum advantage of the EHR incentive program.

We are currently experiencing different demand trends between large and small physician practices, as well as a trend towards community-based purchasing decisions. Management believes that the federal Stimulus has resulted in additional related new orders for our Enterprise EHR products, primarily from larger physician

practices, and expects this to remain the case in the short term. Management believes this is because these larger physician practices, as a function of their size and complexity, generally require longer installation periods and may take more lead time to satisfy meaningful use requirements as required by the Stimulus in order to qualify for funding. Therefore, these practices are motivated to begin the buying process as early as possible in order to implement EHR systems and meet the requirements on a timely basis, to take advantage of the Stimulus funding.

We believe small physician offices may defer EHR buying decisions due to a number of factors. First is the scarcity of capital, which defers decision making until such time as Stimulus funding is available. We have seen greater demand in small physician offices for subscription based arrangements as opposed to pure licensing arrangements, which reflects a motivation to reduce capital outlays. This shift to subscription from license (which is the manner in which we have traditionally sold our Professional offering) will result in recurring revenue over a longer period of time than we have achieved historically, as opposed to revenue recognized on license fees. Second, these offices typically require less time to implement and train than larger offices, so the need to plan implementations well in advance is not as acute as in larger physician organizations.

We have also seen an evolution of buying decisions toward an increase in local community-based buying activity whereby individual hospitals, health systems and integrated delivery networks are subsidizing the purchase of EHR licenses or related services for their affiliated physicians in order to leverage buying power and take advantage of the Stimulus across their employed physician base. This activity has also resulted in a “pull-through” effect where smaller practices affiliated with the community hospital are also incentivized to participate so the subsidizing health system can expand connectivity within the local provider community and optimize its referral base. This pull-through effect has resulted in new orders for our Professional EHR and our MyWay offering. Management believes that the focus on new orders driven by the federal Stimulus program and related to Enterprise EHR and community-related activity will continue in the near term, with additional activity increasing for our Professional EHR products as we move closer to calendar 2011, the first year for disbursement of Stimulus-based funding by the federal government. The associated challenge facing our management is to successfully position and sell our products to the hospital, health system or integrated delivery network that is subsidizing its affiliated physicians.

Management has also dedicated senior level resources toward developing our capability to take advantage of incentives that may become available to government-funded health care providers as a result of the Stimulus. The Stimulus contains discretionary funding for the Health and Human Services Secretary in the form of grants and loans to organizations such as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), the Indian Health Service (IHS) and other providers. At this time it is still unclear as to how and when that funding will be utilized and, when it is, whether it will present a material opportunity for the Company.

Although the Company believes it has and continues to take the proper steps to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the Stimulus, given the uncertainties that still remain and the effects the Stimulus is having on our customers, there can be no assurance that the Stimulus will result in significant new orders for the Company in the near term, and if it does, that the Company will have the capacity to meet the additional market demand in a timely fashion.

Management believes that the 2008 Transactions and the effort made to integrate the legacy MHS and legacy Allscripts infrastructure has positioned the Company well in the market. This fiscal year the Company has developed an enablement center which is designed to make it more efficient for legacy MHS customers to migrate to our Professional or Enterprise solutions. This enablement solution is a key part of our integration strategy, which we believe will allow us to optimize and accelerate our ability to penetrate the legacy MHS customer base with our strategic solutions and make it more convenient and affordable for the customer base to migrate as well as to take advantage of the Stimulus, if applicable. While we believe we have a competitive advantage selling new products to the legacy MHS client base, these customers are cautious in making new expenditures and we continue to face competition for this business.

Additionally, recently enacted public laws reforming the U.S. healthcare system may have an impact on our business. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590; Public Law 111-148) (“PPACA”) and The Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) (the “Reconciliation Act”), which amends the PPACA (collectively the “Health Reform Laws”), were signed into law in March 2010. The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions which may impact the Company and the Company’s customers. Some of these provisions may have a positive impact, by expanding the use of electronic health records in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. Increases in fraud and abuse penalties may also adversely affect participants in the health care sector, including the Company.

Cost of revenue for Allscripts’ clinical solutions segment consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits of Allscripts billable professionals, third-party software costs, hardware costs, third-party transaction processing costs, amortization of acquired proprietary technology, depreciation and amortization and other direct engagement costs. Cost of revenue for Allscripts’ health solutions segment consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits of Allscripts billable professionals, third-party software costs, hardware costs, depreciation and amortization and other direct engagement costs. Cost of revenue for the prepackaged medications segment consists primarily of the cost of the medications, cost of salaries, bonuses and benefits for repackaging personnel, shipping costs, repackaging facility costs and other costs. In addition, the cost of revenue for the clinical solutions and health solutions segments includes certain services performed by Misys under the Shared Services Agreement.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits for management and support personnel, commissions, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization, general operating expenses, product solutions management expenses and selling and marketing expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for each segment consist of expenses directly related to that segment. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include certain services performed by Misys under the Shared Services Agreement.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits, third party contractor costs and other costs directly related to development of new products and upgrading and enhancing existing products.

Amortization of intangibles consists of amortization of customer relationships, trade names and other intangibles acquired under purchase accounting related to the 2008 Transactions and prior business combinations.

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our previously outstanding 3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2024 (the “Debentures”), interest on capital leases and interest expense on the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, Allscripts, LLC, A4 Health Systems, Inc., A4 Realty, LLC, Extended Care Information Network, Inc. (“ECIN”) and Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC, as borrowers, and the other parties from time to time joined as additional borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the sole administrative agent, JPMorgan Securities, Inc., as lead arranger, and Fifth Third Bank, as syndication agent and co-lead arranger, as amended by the First Amendment entered into on November 20, 2009 (the “Credit Facility”).

Interest income and other, net consists primarily of interest earned on cash and marketable securities, and realized gains on investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of new accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable from clients for goods and services provided by the Company. Revenue from system sales includes software and related hardware. Revenue from professional services includes implementation, training and consulting services. Revenue from maintenance includes post contract customer support and maintenance services. Revenue from transaction processing and other includes electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services.

Revenue from software licensing arrangements where the service element is not considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement is recognized upon shipment of the software or as services are performed, provided 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 or renewed. For agreements that are deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue recognition is limited to amounts due and payable.

Revenue from software licensing arrangements, where the service element is considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement, is accounted for on an input basis under percentage of completion accounting using actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required by the arrangement, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 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 objective evidence of fair value of the maintenance revenue, which is generally based upon contractual renewal rates. For agreements accounted for under percentage of completion accounting and deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue is recognized using the input method but is limited to the amounts due and payable. For income statement presentation, consideration from agreements accounted for under percentage of completion accounting is allocated between software and services based on vendor specific evidence of our hourly services rate multiplied by the amount of hours performed with the residual amount allocated to software license fee.

Revenue from certain value-added reseller (“VAR”) relationships in which software is directly sold to VARs is recognized upon delivery of the software assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue recognition is deferred until the software is delivered to the ultimate end user if the written and implied arrangement terms do not satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition upon delivery of the software.

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 separately for each separate unit of accounting.

Management applies judgment to ensure appropriate accounting for multiple deliverables, including the allocation of arrangement consideration among multiple units of accounting, the determination of whether undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of delivered elements and the timing of revenue recognition, among others. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, revenue recognition is evaluated for the combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting and generally the recognition pattern of the final deliverable will dictate the revenue recognition pattern for the single, combined unit of accounting. Changes in circumstances and customer data may affect management’s analysis of separation criteria, which may cause Allscripts to adjust upward or downward the amount of revenue recognized under the arrangement.

The Company records reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as professional services revenue in the statement of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

We rely on estimates to determine our bad debt expense and the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. These estimates are based on our historical experience and the industry in which we operate. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and related bad debt expense may be required.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We evaluate the value of intangible assets based upon the present value of the future economic benefits expected to be derived from the assets. We assess the impairment of the identifiable intangibles and goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If we determine that the value of the intangible assets and goodwill may not be recoverable from future cash flows, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

We estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets and amortize the value over that estimated life. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Software Capitalization

The carrying value of capitalized software is dependent upon the ability to recover its value through future revenue from the sale of the software. If we determine in the future that the value of the capitalized software could not be recovered, a write-down of the value of the capitalized software to its recoverable value may be required.

We estimate the useful life of our capitalized software and amortize the value over that estimated life. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, we recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be required. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, then we reverse the liability and recognizes a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained if challenged by the taxing authorities. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our liabilities, our effective tax rate in a given period may be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require cash payments and may result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. We report interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as income taxes.

N/M – not meaningful

Given the level of integration of the operations and reporting of legacy Allscripts and legacy MHS following the 2008 Transactions, management does not view or manage the business on a legacy business basis. Accordingly, it is not possible or meaningful in every case to quantify the impacts of the inclusion of legacy Allscripts on our financial results on a year-over-year basis within our overview of consolidated results and segment results. The fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 includes the full-year results of both legacy businesses. The fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 includes the full-year results of legacy MHS and the results of operations of legacy Allscripts subsequent to the closing of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008.

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Revenue

Revenue increased from the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in customer orders. All revenue categories reflect increases from the prior year with the exception of prepackaged medications revenue

related to the Medications Services segment that was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. System sales and maintenance revenue reflect the most significant increases in revenue. System sales increased as a result of an increase in customer orders compared to the prior year. The increase in maintenance revenue compared to the prior year reflects an overall increase in the customer base as a result of the 2008 Transactions along with continued growth in the customer base from new customer orders.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 compared to the prior year due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts and an increase in revenue related to increased customer orders. Excluding the impact of our prepackaged medications business which was sold during the year ended May 31, 2009, gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased compared to the prior year due to improved utilization of professional services resources as well as an improvement in maintenance margins due to better cost management and a slight reduction in headcount. Additionally, a more favorable system sales revenue mix was realized in fiscal year 2010 compared to prior year with more revenue being contributed from software licenses and less from lower margin hardware sales. This improvement was offset by increased amortization of software development costs.

Operating Income

Operating income increased from the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an improvement in gross margin. The increase in 2010 is partially offset by increased costs related to an increase in research and development headcount and the Eclipsys Merger and the Coniston Transactions. The increase in research and development costs is partially offset by an increase in capitalized software development costs. Transaction-related fees and expenses, including legal, investment banking and accounting fees, incurred in connection with announced transactions as well as severance, integration, and certain legal and related settlement amounts totaled approximately $14.4 million during the year ended May 31, 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

Revenue

The increase for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the inclusion of revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009, respectively.

Excluding the revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts, the legacy MHS revenue declined in fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008. This decline was concentrated in systems sales and professional services in the legacy MHS clinical solutions segment and was as a direct result of a shift of new sales orders away from the legacy MHS products to the legacy Allscripts products where similar products existed in both legacy businesses. This shift was expected by management and is part of the overall integration strategy for the clinical solutions segment. Partially offsetting this decline in systems sales and services revenue was an increase in legacy MHS clinical solutions maintenance revenue as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts as well as modest growth in transaction services revenue. The net decline in revenue in the legacy MHS clinical solutions business was partially offset by revenue growth in the legacy Health solutions segment which experienced modest system sales and professional services revenue growth due to an increase in orders as well as growth in maintenance revenue as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts.

Gross Margin

The increase in gross margin in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the legacy Allscripts gross margin contribution which was not present in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue

in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the contribution of gross profit from the legacy Allscripts software and related services, which has lower margins than legacy MHS software and related services.

Operating Income

The increase in operating income for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the legacy Allscripts gross margin contribution which was not present in fiscal year 2008. In addition to the impact of the addition of legacy Allscripts in fiscal year 2009, contributing to the increase in operating income was the result of a decrease in the amortization of intangibles as a result of certain legacy MHS intangibles which became fully amortized in fiscal year 2008 and due to lower research and development costs resulting from an increase in software development eligible for capitalization related primarily to development on our MyWay product as well as a reduction in third-party spending on other legacy MHS software products. These cost savings were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs related to the impairment of our investment in Aprima, higher severance costs, and an increase in third party costs related to the integration of the businesses after the closing of the 2008 Transactions.

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Revenue

Clinical solutions revenue increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in customer orders that drove increases in all revenue categories. Additionally, maintenance revenues increased as a result of continued growth in the clinical solutions customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts.

Gross Margin

Clinical solutions gross margin increased in fiscal 2010 as compared to the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts and an increase in revenue related to increased customer orders. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased slightly during the year ended May 31, 2010 compared to the prior year primarily attributable to improved utilization of professional services resources as well as an improvement in maintenance margins due to better cost management. Additionally, a more favorable system sales revenue mix was realized in fiscal year 2010 with more revenue being contributed from software licenses and less from lower margin hardware sales. This improvement was offset by increased amortization of software development costs.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase in selling, general and administrative costs during the year ended May 31, 2010 was primarily a result of the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year. Additionally, increases in stock-based compensation and marketing contributed to the overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development

Clinical solutions research and development costs increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 primarily due to costs related to an increase in headcount and increased maintenance efforts related to clinical solutions

software applications. These increases were partially offset by increased capitalization of software development costs compared to the prior year.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

Revenue

The revenue increase in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the clinical solutions revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Excluding the revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts, the legacy MHS revenue declined in fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008. This decline was concentrated in systems sales and professional services in the legacy MHS clinical solutions segment and was as a direct result of a shift of new sales orders away from the legacy MHS products to the legacy Allscripts products where similar products existed in both legacy businesses. This shift was expected by management and is part of the overall integration strategy for the clinical solutions segment. Partially offsetting this decline in systems sales and services revenue was an increase in legacy MHS clinical solutions maintenance revenue as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts as well as modest growth in transaction services revenue.

Our revenue from system sales and professional services from our Enterprise and Professional businesses that make up our clinical solutions segment were negatively affected during fiscal year 2009 due to a decrease in new software orders that management believes resulted from a delay in our customers and prospective customers purchasing process due to the uncertainty around the Stimulus bill and related funding requirements and also due to the challenging economic conditions in fiscal 2009 which motivated customers and prospective customers to defer capital investments, conserve cash and move towards software subscription arrangements versus traditional licensing arrangements.

Gross Margin

The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the clinical solutions margin contributed by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The slight decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to an increase in amortization cost associated with acquired technology related to the 2008 Transactions.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase during fiscal year 2009 was primarily a result of the inclusion of legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The impact of the addition of costs related to legacy Allscripts was partially offset by the impact in fiscal year 2009 of cost reduction strategies implemented within legacy MHS in fiscal year 2008.

Research and Development

The decrease is primarily driven by an increase in the level of costs recorded as capitalized software on the balance sheet and amortized over their expected useful lives versus being expensed as incurred. This shift was driven by the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008, which resulted in an increase in projects undertaken that qualified for capitalization.

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Revenue

Health solutions revenue increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in customer orders.

Gross Margin

The health solutions gross margin increase during the year ended May 31, 2010 is primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased slightly during fiscal year 2010 compared to the prior year. The slight increase is primarily attributable to improved utilization of professional services resources. Additionally, a more favorable system sales revenue mix was realized during fiscal year 2010 with more revenue being contributed from software licenses and less from lower margin hardware sales. This improvement was partially offset by increased amortization of software development costs.

Selling, General and Administrative

The decline in health solutions selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended May 31, 2010 was primarily a result of lower stock-based compensation and marketing expenses.

Research and Development

The increase in health solutions research and development expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in headcount. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in capitalized software development costs.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

Revenue

The revenue increase in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the health solutions revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009.

Excluding the impact on revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts, the increase in revenue was related to legacy MHS health solutions which experienced an increase in system sales and professional services revenue due to an increase in orders as well as growth in maintenance revenue primarily as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts.

Gross Margin

The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue for fiscal year 2009 is attributable to the margin mix associated with the legacy Allscripts products which have margins that tend to be lower than legacy MHS and due to an increase in amortization cost associated with acquired technology related to the 2008 Transactions.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase in costs for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to costs incurred by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009 and due an overall increase in selling, general and administrative costs, primarily related to the addition of headcount to accommodate growth in the health solutions segment.

Research and Development

The increase in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the additional research and development costs contributed by legacy Allscripts from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

The increase in unallocated corporate expenses during 2010 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an

increase in headcount and employee-related compensation expenses. Additionally, we have incurred increased costs related to the proposed Eclipsys Merger and Coniston Transactions. Offsetting these increases are lower costs incurred in 2010 related to the 2008 Transactions and an impairment charge of $14,076 related to the investment in Aprima recognized in the prior year which did not recur in 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The increase in unallocated corporate expense for 2009 includes merger and integration related costs of approximately $39,900 which were incurred in connection with the 2008 Transactions. Excluding these one-time related costs in 2009, unallocated corporate expenses would have been approximately $53,029 for 2009. This increase in 2009 is primarily due to corporate costs incurred related to the 2008 Transactions, partially offset by cost benefits received in fiscal 2009 for cost reduction strategies that were implemented at the end of 2008.

Amortization of Intangibles

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Amortization of intangibles increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 as a result of recognizing transaction-related expenses for a full year as compared to the prior year when amortization commenced in conjunction with the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The decrease in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the Medic customer relationship intangible asset becoming fully amortized during fiscal year 2008. The decrease was partially offset by the intangible amortization recorded in conjunction with the 2008 Transactions for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009.

Interest Expense

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Interest expense decreased during the year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year due to the conversion of outstanding Debentures to common stock in the first quarter of 2010 and the repayment of the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility during 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The increase during 2009 is primarily due to interest expense related to the Debentures and the Credit Facility from legacy Allscripts in conjunction with the 2008 Transactions.

Interest Income and Other, Net

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

The increase during 2010 is partially due to realized gains on investments and an increase in the cash and marketable securities balance, net of decreases due to lower interest rates earned on cash in 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The increase during 2009 is primarily due to an increase in the cash and marketable securities balance related to the completion of the 2008 Transactions.

Income Tax Expense

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

The decrease in the effective tax rate during 2010 is primarily due to a reduction in state income tax expense and the utilization of federal research and development credits.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The increase in the effective rate during 2009 is due to state tax increases in certain states, primarily in Texas, and due to a decrease in the IRC Section 199 deduction as a result of the availability of NOL carry-forwards.

Contract Backlog

As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a committed contract backlog of approximately $774,000 and $673,000, respectively. Of that amount, approximately $103,000 and $105,000, as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was related to long term software as a service contract commitments that are not expected to be realized as revenue in the next twelve months. A portion of the contracts in the committed contract backlog are accounted for under the percentage of completion accounting method. The determination of the revenue related to these contracts which will be recognized in the next twelve months is projected based upon the expected implementation period for such contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $145,335 and $73,426, respectively. The increase in our cash balance is reflective of the following:

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Cash flow from operations increased in 2010 due to an increase in cash received from customers attributable to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year in addition to fewer payments in 2010 for costs related to the 2008 Transactions. The increase in 2010 was partially offset by an increase in payments for costs related to the proposed Eclipsys Merger and the Coniston Transactions.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The increase in 2009 reflects a growth in net income, and adjustments for non-cash items, primarily due to the contribution by legacy Allscripts from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities improvement was primarily due to a year-over-year increase in cash provided from deferred revenue of $20,280 which reflects an improvement in customer software implementations and related revenue recognition, partially off-set by a year-over-year decrease in cash provided from accounts receivable of $19,014 which primarily relates to increased revenue in fiscal 2009 resulting from the revenue contribution of legacy Allscripts during the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009 and an increase in annual maintenance and software milestone billings.

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Cash used for investing activities decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to the payment in 2009 for the acquisition of legacy Allscripts which did not recur in 2010. This decrease was partially offset by increases in capital expenditures and software development expenditures in 2010. The increase in capital expenditures is related to the acquisition of computer equipment and software to improve our information systems infrastructure and to accommodate data management and hosting related to our products. The capitalization of software development costs increased as a result of the increased level of research and development expenditures during fiscal year 2010 that was driven by new product initiatives.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

The increase in cash used during fiscal 2009 is primarily due to a net payment of $263,766 relating to the deemed acquisition for accounting purposes of Allscripts, increase of $3,803 in capital expenditures, and an investment of $14,001 in the development of software. These cash outflows were partially offset from the sale of Allscripts’ Cary, North Carolina Facility in which we received $6,450 in net proceeds, net proceeds of $6,181 from the sale and maturity of marketable securities, and $8,000 in proceeds received from the sale of our prepackaged medications business.

Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009

Cash used for financing activities increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the receipt of cash from Misys in 2009 in connection with the 2008 Transactions that did not recur in 2010. Contributing to the increase were payments made to fully liquidate outstanding balances under the Credit Facility during 2010. Partially offsetting these increases are payments in 2009 for the repurchase of senior convertible notes and common stock that did not recur in 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008

This increase in cash is attributable to a change of $356,929 in the parent’s net investment account, which includes the $330,000 received from Misys in connection with the 2008 Transactions, cash proceeds from exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan of $5,620, increase in net cash payments made in fiscal 2009 for debt related obligations of approximately $11,737, $8,164 of our Debentures being repurchased for cash during fiscal year 2009, $51,547 of common stock purchased under our stock repurchase program, as described in more detail below, and $5,463 in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Stock Repurchase Program

of the Company’s common stock needed to keep Misys’ ownership percentage in the Company unaffected by the open market repurchases being made by the Company. The repurchase price for any shares acquired by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement will be the weighted average purchase price paid by the Company for all other shares acquired by the Company in the open market program.

During the year ended May 31, 2009, the Company repurchased and cancelled 2,349 shares of common stock from the open market, and 3,075 shares of common stock were repurchased from Misys to ensure Misys’ ownership in Allscripts remains consistent. In total through May 31, 2009, the Company has repurchased 5,424 shares of common stock at an average price (excluding commissions) of $9.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $51,547. There were no shares repurchased during fiscal year 2010.The remaining authorized amount for stock repurchase under the program is approximately $98,453, which program will terminate on February 10, 2011. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Misys Repurchase Agreement will be terminated following closing of the Coniston Transactions. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares or value thereof that will be repurchased under the stock repurchase program, and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time.

Sale of Prepackaged Medications Business

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts completed the sale of its Medications Services business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meds Agreement”) with A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”). Under terms of the Meds Agreement, Allscripts received a total of $8,000 in cash consideration during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. In addition, Allscripts entered into a Marketing Agreement with A-S on March 16, 2009 which provides that Allscripts will earn annual fees for providing various marketing services of $3,600 per year over the five-year term for a total of approximately $18,000. Allscripts has continuing obligations requiring substantive performance under the Marketing Agreement, including the use of the Allscripts tradename, promotion of the products and service offerings of A-S with existing and future Allscripts’ customers, participation in the development and promotion of joint marketing materials, sharing of certain customer and sales lead information, and other related marketing service obligations. The Marketing Agreement contains a provision that could result in a reduction of annual fees not to exceed $1,200 per year if a material adverse change in law, as defined, results in a significant reduction in Medications Services customer revenues related to the Meds Agreement, as defined. The sale of the prepackaged medication business resulted in a loss of approximately $1,588 which has been recorded in unallocated corporate expenses for fiscal year 2009.

Future Capital Requirements

On November 20, 2009 Allscripts entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, Allscripts, LLC, A4 Health Systems, Inc., A4 Realty, LLC, Extended Care Information Network, Inc. (“ECIN”) and Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC, as Borrowers, and the other parties from time to time joined as additional Borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the sole administrative agent, JPMorgan Securities, Inc., as lead arranger, and Fifth Third Bank, as syndication agent and co-lead arranger (the “Credit Facility”). The Amendment increased the total unsecured commitment under the Credit Facility by $25,000 to $150,000. The Credit Facility matures on August 15, 2012. The Credit Facility is available in the form of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $10,000 and revolving loans and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, which rate is based on Allscripts’ leverage ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year.

Under the Credit Facility, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined below) for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended of (i) not greater than 2.75 to 1.00 as of any date on or before November 30, 2010 and (ii) not greater than 2.50 to 1.00 as of any date after November 30, 2010. As of May 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with this requirement. EBITDA is defined in our Credit Facility as consolidated net income from continuing operations, plus depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, interest expense, income taxes, and minus in the case of income or plus in the case of losses, non-cash non-operating items and one-time charges and

non-cash extraordinary gains or losses and other non-cash non-recurring items of income or expense plus transaction fees and expenses associated with or incurred by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Facility or the acquisition of MHS.

The Company is also required to maintain, under the Credit Facility and as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of EBIT (as defined below) for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date to the consolidated interest expense of the Company for such four fiscal quarters of not less than 4.00 to 1.00. As of May 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with this requirement. EBIT is defined in our Credit Facility as consolidated net income from continuing operations, plus non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, interest expense, income taxes, and minus in the case of income or plus in the case of losses, non-cash non-operating items and one-time charges and non-cash extraordinary gains or losses and other non-cash non-recurring items of income or expense plus transaction fees and expenses associated with or incurred by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Facility or the acquisition of MHS.

We have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, to repurchase from Misys or from one or more of its indirect subsidiaries 24.4 million shares of Allscripts common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $577.4 million and, if Misys so elects upon the completion of the Eclipsys Merger, approximately 5.3 million additional shares of Allscripts common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $101.6 million. The financing to complete the Share Repurchase and the Contingent Share Repurchase shall consist of a combination of cash on hand as well as the proceeds from the $570 million senior secured term loan facility and the $150 million senior secured revolving facility contemplated by the Commitment Letters, each of which is expected to close upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions. Upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions, the Credit Facility will be terminated and Allscripts shall enter into the facilities described in the Commitment Letter.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $145,335 as of May 31, 2010, our future cash flows from operations, and our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and, upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions, our borrowing capacity under the facilities described in the Commitment Letter, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating cash requirements for the next twelve months, including any additional common stock repurchases under our open market program or the Repurchase Agreement, funding interest payments on our debt instruments, contractual obligations, including the Shared Services Agreement with Misys, and investment needs of our current business. We cannot provide assurance that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than we expect as of the date of this report. 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, a combination thereof or otherwise. We cannot provide assurance that these additional sources of funds will be available or, if available, would have reasonable terms.

As of May 31, 2010, we had $148,769 available, net of outstanding letters of credit totaling $1,231, and $0 outstanding borrowings under our $150,000 Credit Facility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to draw on the full available balance of our Credit Facility or, upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions, the facilities described in the Commitment Letter, if the financial institutions that have extended such credit commitments become unwilling or unable to fund such borrowings.

During July 2009, Allscripts exercised its call option on the remaining $19,704 of Debentures for redemption. As a result of the call exercised by Allscripts, the holders of the Debentures had the right to convert the Debentures into common stock prior to payment redemption. During July and August 2009, holders of all of the outstanding Debentures exercised their right to convert the Debentures into an aggregate of 2,451 shares of Allscripts common stock. There were no outstanding Debentures as of May 31, 2010.

In the current economic environment, our ability to find a replacement for a non-funding bank is uncertain. There can also be no assurance that our Credit Facility will be renewed or replaced upon its expiration on August 15, 2012. Our ability to renew our Credit Facility or to enter into a new financing arrangement to replace the existing facility could be impaired if the recent disruptions in U.S. markets continue or worsen.

On June 9, 2010, Allscripts and Eclipsys announced a definitive agreement to merge in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $1.3 billion. Completion of the merger is subject to certain conditions. We cannot predict the actual timing of the completion of the Eclipsys Merger or whether the Eclipsys Merger will actually be completed. Refer to Note 16 – Subsequent Events in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the proposed merger and the related impacts on future capital requirements.

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 as of May 31, 2010 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods assuming all obligations reach maturity:


	Total	Fiscal 2011	Fiscal 2012	Fiscal 2013	Fiscal 2014	Fiscal 2015	Fiscal 2016+

Total contractual obligations	$72,746	$30,442	$9,337	$7,047	$6,989	$6,851	$12,080

The Company believes it has income tax exposure totaling $2,808 as of May 31, 2010 primarily related to pre-acquisition NOL’s for the Allscripts group. Liabilities that may result from this exposure have been excluded from the table above since we cannot predict with reasonable reliability the outcome of discussions with the respective taxing jurisdictions, which may or may not result in cash settlements. We have excluded net deferred tax liabilities of $71,264 from the amounts presented in the table as the amounts that will be settled in cash are not known and the timing of any payments is uncertain.

On June 9, 2010, we agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, to repurchase from Misys or from one or more of its indirect subsidiaries 24.4 million shares of Allscripts common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $577.4 million and, if Misys so elects upon the completion of the Eclipsys Merger, approximately 5.3 million additional shares of Allscripts common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $101.6 million. The financing to complete the Share Repurchase and the Contingent Share Repurchase shall consist of a combination of cash on hand as well as the proceeds from the $570 million senior secured term loan facility and the $150 million senior secured revolving facility contemplated by the Commitment Letters, each of which is expected to close upon the closing of the Coniston Transactions.

(1)	Refer to Note 13—Related Party Transactions in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Shared Services Agreement with Misys plc.

(2)	On December 1, 2006, we entered into a $14,000 software content development agreement with a partner to assist in the development of Enterprise clinical content. The partner will be developing customer content for

use within Allscripts solutions by medical professionals. Upon acceptance of contracted deliverables, Allscripts will provide payment for the development efforts over the next four years, with the final deliverable to be completed by September 30, 2011.

(3)

In connection with the Chicago corporate facilities lease agreement, Allscripts has provided to the lessor an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the lessor in the amount of $500 as security for the full and prompt performance by Allscripts under the lease agreement. The letter of credit may be drawn upon by the lessor and retained, used or applied by lessor for the purpose of curing any monetary default or defaults of Allscripts under the lease. The letter of credit provides for an expiration date of one year from the commencement date of the lease, and will automatically extend for additional successive one-year periods through the term of the lease. We have other letters of credit as security for full and prompt performance under various contractual arrangements. As of May 31, 2010, no amounts had been drawn on the letters of credit.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (Dollars in thousands)

As of May 31, 2010, we did not own any derivative financial instruments, but we were exposed to market risks, primarily changes in U.S. and LIBOR interest rates. Allscripts is exposed to the risk that our earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in interest rates due to the cash borrowed under our bank Credit Facility. Based upon our balance of $0 of debt against our Credit Facility as of May 31, 2010, an increase in interest rates of 1.0% would cause a corresponding increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $0.

As of May 31, 2010, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in financial instruments of $145,335. 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 May 31, 2010, a decrease in interest rates of 1.0% would cause a corresponding decrease in our annual interest income of approximately $1,453.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries at May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits, which were integrated audits in 2010 and 2009. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for the earnings per share impact of unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and the manner in which it accounts for business combinations in fiscal year 2010. As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions in fiscal year 2008.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per-share amounts)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Results of operations include MHS for all periods presented and legacy Allscripts for periods subsequent to the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008. Since the 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. General corporate expenses incurred prior to October 10, 2008 and reported in the prior period financial statements contain allocations of operating costs between MHS and its former parent, Misys plc. These costs include executive salaries, accounting and legal fees, departmental costs for accounting, finance, legal, information technology, purchasing, marketing, human resources as well as other general overhead costs. These allocations were based on a variety of factors, dependent upon the nature of the costs being allocated, including revenues and number of employees. Management believes these allocations are made on a reasonable basis; however, the financial statements included herein may not necessarily reflect Allscripts’ results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future or what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had MHS operated as a stand-alone entity prior to October 10, 2008.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allscripts and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of authoritative guidance related to stock-based payment arrangements, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

Revenue Recognition

includes post contract customer support and maintenance services. Revenue from transaction processing and other includes electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services. Revenue from prepackaged medications includes the sale of medications and pharmaceutical products. There was only prepackaged medications revenue during fiscal year 2009, as the related business was acquired as part of the 2008 Transactions in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and later disposed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 (see Note 2).

Certain of our customer arrangements encompass multiple deliverables. If the deliverables meet the separation criteria described below, the deliverables are separated into distinct units of accounting, and revenue is allocated to the units based on their fair values. The separation criteria 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 separately for each separate unit of accounting.

The Company records reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as professional services revenue in the statement of operations. These amounts totaled approximately $4,777, $4,074, and $3,259 for the three years ended May 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the period of the contract based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value based upon contractual renewal rates. Revenue from EDI services is recognized as services are provided and is determined based on the volume of transactions processed. Prior to the sale of the Company’s prepackaged medications business in fiscal year 2009, revenue from the sale of prepackaged medications, net of provisions for estimated returns, was recognized upon shipment of the pharmaceutical products, the point at which the customer took ownership and assumed risk of loss, when no performance obligations remain and collection of the receivable was probable.

As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, there was $31,505 and $35,964, respectively, of revenue earned on contracts in excess of billings, which are 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 consisted of the following:


	May 31,
	2010	2009
Prepayments and billings in excess of revenue earned on contracts in progress for software and services	$49,063	$40,255
Prepayments and billings in excess of revenue earned on contracts in progress for support and maintenance	54,921	45,777

Total deferred revenue	$103,984	$86,032

Fair Value

At May 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company’s long-term revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate that approximates current market rates; therefore, the carrying value of such debt approximates fair value.

Long-term marketable securities are recorded at fair value determined using a market approach, based on prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets which are considered to be Level 2 inputs.

The fair values of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets measured on a recurring basis as of the respective balance sheet dates:


	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	Total
Long-term marketable securities, fair value as of:
May 31, 2010	—	$1,925	—	$1,925

May 31, 2009	—	$2,267	—	$2,267

As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale and carried at their fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported net of tax in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Marketable securities consist of mortgage and asset-backed bonds.

Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income and other, net. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income. There were no other-than-temporary declines for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to provide for estimated losses resulting from uncollectible accounts, and is based principally upon specifically identified amounts where collection is deemed doubtful. Additional non-specific allowances are recorded based on historical experience and management’s assessment of a variety of factors related to the general financial condition of Allscripts’ customer base, industry in which we operate and general economic conditions. Allscripts reviews the collectability of individual accounts and assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and related bad debt expense may be required. Allscripts does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of technology hardware, are carried at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined using the specific identification method.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The depreciable life of leasehold improvements is the shorter of the lease term or the useful life. Upon asset retirement or other disposition, cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts expended for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the costs over the fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized in accordance with accounting guidance, but accounting guidance requires the Company to perform an impairment test at least annually. This is a two step test. In step one the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Step two is required only if there is a deficiency (the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value). In step two the actual amount of the goodwill impairment is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.

The Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of May 31, and completed step one of its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2010 for its reporting units. For each reporting unit, the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using the income approach by discounting to present value the estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit. For each reporting unit fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value as of May 31, 2010 and no indicators of impairment were identified as a result of its annual impairment test; therefore, step two was not required. The Company will also test for impairment between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. If we determine that the value of the indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill may not be recoverable from future cash flows, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Accounting guidance also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment. We estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets and amortize the value over the remaining estimated economic lives of those assets, including the period being reported on. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

In accordance with authoritative guidance, Allscripts reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Software Development Costs

Allscripts capitalizes purchased software that is ready for service and software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of the software is established until the software is available for general release in accordance with accounting guidance. Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Upon the establishment of technological feasibility, related software development costs are capitalized. We estimate the useful life of our capitalized software and amortize the value over that estimated life. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required. During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, software development costs in the amount of $21,097 and $14,001, respectively, were capitalized. There were no software development costs capitalized in fiscal year 2008. The unamortized balance of capitalized software as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 is $29,900 and $13,515, respectively. Upon the availability for general release, Allscripts commences amortization of the software on a product by product basis. Amortization is recorded based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the

product, including the period being reported on, which is estimated to be three to five years. Amortization of capitalized software development costs amounted to $4,712 and $486 during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was no amortization of capitalized software recorded during fiscal year 2008.

At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized costs of a software product are compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs of a software product exceed the net realizable value of that asset is written off. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from that product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support required to satisfy Allscripts’ responsibility set forth at the time of sale. The carrying value of capitalized software is dependent upon the ability to recover its value through future revenue from the sale of the software. If we determine in the future that the value of the capitalized software could not be recovered, a write-down of the value of the capitalized software to its recoverable value may be required. There were no write-offs of capitalized software for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be required. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, then we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained if challenged by the taxing authorities. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our liabilities, our effective tax rate in a given period may be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require cash payments and may result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. We report interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as income taxes.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Effective June 1, 2009, the Company adopted accounting guidance which states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are considered participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. The provisions of this guidance are retrospective; therefore prior periods have been restated. Restricted stock units awards granted by the Company to certain management level employees participate in dividends on the same basis as common shares and are nonforfeitable by the holder. As a result, these restricted stock units awards meet the definition of a participating security.

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income, as adjusted for income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average shares of outstanding common stock. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential common stock equivalents. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist primarily of stock options, restricted stock unit awards and conversion of the Debentures.

The calculations of earnings per share under the two-class method are as follows:


	Year Ended May 31,
	2010		2009		2008
Basic Earnings per Common Share:
Net income	$62,870		$26,022		$25,399
Less: Income allocated to participating securities	(1,308	)	(439	)	0

Net income available to common shareholders	$61,562		$25,583		$25,399

Weighted average common shares outstanding	145,146		122,591		82,886

	$0.42		$0.21		$0.31

Earnings per Common Share Assuming Dilution:
Net income	$62,870		$26,022		$25,399
Less: Income allocated to participating securities	(1,281	)	(432	)	0
Add: Interest expense on Debentures, net of tax	69		457		0

Net income available to common shareholders	$61,658		$26,047		$25,399

Weighted average common shares outstanding	145,146		122,591		82,886
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units awards	2,782		1,970		0
Dilutive effect of Debentures	456		2,451		0

Weighted average common shares outstanding assuming dilution	148,384		127,012		82,886

	$0.42		$0.21		$0.31

For the year ended May 31, 2008, the basic and diluted share count includes only the shares issued to Misys in connection with the 2008 Transactions. The as-if converted shares and interest expense related to our Debentures were included for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009. The Debentures were not present in 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject Allscripts to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables. Allscripts maintains its cash balances with two major commercial banks and its cash equivalents and marketable securities in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

Allscripts sells its products and services to healthcare providers. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across the United States. To reduce credit risk, Allscripts performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and their payment histories. In general, Allscripts does not require collateral from its customers, but it does enter into advance deposit, security or guarantee agreements, if appropriate. Bad debt expense totaled $7,785, $5,893 and $2,415 in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The majority of revenue is derived from customers located in the United States. All long-lived assets are located in the United States. There were no customers that accounted for greater than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable in fiscal year 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Allscripts provides its software customers with a standard product warranty beginning with live use of the software. If a software product is found to have a material defect that causes the product not to operate in accordance with the software specifications, Allscripts will deliver any necessary alterations to the customer.

Use of Estimates

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued accounting guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. This accounting guidance is effective for us in fiscal 2012 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. If we were to adopt this guidance prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we must apply it retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and to all interim periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB revised the guidance to include additional disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance adds the requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers and a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also includes clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance applies to all entities required to make disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. It will be effective for the Company on June 1, 2010 for interim and annual reporting, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which will be required for interim and annual periods beginning June 1, 2011. This guidance is not expected to have material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance that amends existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that have multiple element arrangements. This updated guidance provides accounting principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. This new approach is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. In addition, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance related to certain arrangements that contain software elements, which amends revenue recognition to exclude tangible products that include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. This updated guidance will be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year provided the company has not previously issued financial statements for any period within that year. An entity shall not elect early application of this update unless it also elects early application of the update related to multiple element arrangements. This guidance is not expected to have material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance that changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment of debt securities is other than temporary. The new guidance requires other than temporary impairments to be separated into the amount representing the decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from a security (referred to as credit losses) which is recognized in earnings and the amount related to other factors which is recognized in other comprehensive income. This noncredit loss component of the impairment may only be classified in other comprehensive income or loss if the holder of the security concludes that it does not intend to sell and, more likely than not, it will not be required to sell the security before it recovers its value. If these conditions are not met, the noncredit loss must also be recognized in earnings. When adopting the new guidance, an entity is required to record a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other than temporary impairment from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this new guidance on June 1, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance related to estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. The guidance also provides additional information related to circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance on June 1, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB amended the authoritative guidance related to the disclosures about fair value of financial instruments which requires publicly-traded companies to provide disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on June 1, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance that addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance by the Company on June 1, 2009 did not materially affect earnings per share and was applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

In May 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement). This guidance specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, does not grandfather existing instruments, will not permit early application and will require retrospective application to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance by the Company as of June 1, 2009 did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2008, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance related to the determination of the useful life of intangible assets by amending the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset and other United States generally accepted accounting principles. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance by the Company as of June 1, 2009 did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for business combinations. The purchase method of accounting will continue to be required for all business combinations, but the revised guidance

significantly changes the accounting for other aspects of business combinations. Under the guidance, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. The revised guidance will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing non-controlling interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. It also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. This new guidance was adopted by the Company on June 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after June 1, 2009. The Company’s business combination transactions are now being accounted for under this new guidance, including the Eclipsys Merger (see Note 16).

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, an amendment of existing guidance on consolidated financial statements. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the Parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance by the Company as of June 1, 2009 did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Business Combinations and Divestitures

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and Misys Healthcare Systems

On March 17, 2008, legacy Allscripts entered into the Merger Agreement with Misys, MHS and Patriot. On October 10, 2008, legacy Allscripts and MHS completed the 2008 Transactions. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of legacy Allscripts in a reverse merger, Misys purchased $330,000 of legacy Allscripts common stock and Misys obtained a controlling interest in legacy Allscripts. In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, legacy Allscripts issued an aggregate of 82,886 shares of its common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock. The combined company has a client base of approximately 160,000 U.S. physicians and 800 hospitals and is positioned to help physicians provide better patient care, manage their business more effectively and connect with their patients and other key healthcare stakeholders.

The Allscripts and MHS merger has been accounted for as a business combination. As MHS is the accounting acquiror, the historical financial statements are those of MHS. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Allscripts have been recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values.

The results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the date of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $569,198 and is comprised of the following:


Fair value of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (62,998 Allscripts common shares at $8.77, the closing stock price of Allscripts on October 10, 2008)		$552,494
Share-based compensation value		10,567
Acquisition-related transaction costs		6,137

Total purchase price		$569,198

The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of their current fair values. Acquisition-related transaction costs include investment banking fees, loan commitment fees, legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the 2008 Transactions.

The purchase price has been allocated as follows:


Acquired cash and marketable securities	$410,374
Accounts receivable, net	88,306
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	20,555
Fixed assets and other long-term assets	24,144
Goodwill	330,984
Intangible assets	236,600
Deferred tax liability, net	(27,182	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(385,916	)
Deferred revenue	(44,389	)
Long-term debt	(80,602	)
Other liabilities	(3,676	)

Net assets acquired	$569,198

Goodwill was determined based on the residual difference between the purchase price and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill were Allscripts’ history of profitability and high operating margins, strong sales force and overall employee base, and position in the healthcare information technology market.

We have allocated $330,984 to goodwill and $236,600 to intangible assets. Allocated goodwill consists of $258,880 and $72,104 attributed to the clinical solutions and health solutions segments, respectively. Allocated intangible assets consists of $180,600, $53,000 and $3,000 attributed to the clinical solutions, health solutions and prepackaged medications segments as of the date of the October 10, 2008 acquisition, respectively. Of the $236,600 of acquired intangible assets, $52,000 was assigned to registered trade names, which have an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization. The remaining $184,600 of intangible assets acquired consist of the following: $49,000 was assigned to service and maintenance contracts with a useful life of 20 years, $44,000 was assigned to developed technology rights with a useful life of 7 years, $3,000 was assigned to developed technology rights with a useful life of 4 years, $38,000 was assigned to core technology with a useful life of 12 years, $21,000 was assigned to customer relationships with a useful life of 20 years, $15,000 was assigned to Software as a Service (SaaS) contracts with a useful life of 13 years, $7,000 was assigned to service and maintenance contract backlog with a useful life of 2 years, $5,000 was assigned to provider relationships with a useful life of 15 years, $2,000 was assigned to service backlog with a useful life of 3 years, $300 was assigned to Allscripts’ non-compete agreement with a useful life of 1 year, and $300 was assigned to favorable leasehold interests with a useful life of 6 years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their average useful lives.

Sale of Prepackaged Medications Business

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts completed the sale of its Medications Services business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meds Agreement”) with A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”) for a total of $8,000 in cash consideration. In addition, Allscripts entered into a Marketing Agreement with A-S on March 16, 2009 which provides that Allscripts will earn annual fees for providing various marketing services of $3,600 per year over the five year term for a total of approximately $18,000. Allscripts has continuing obligations requiring substantive performance under the Marketing Agreement, including the use of the Allscripts tradename, promotion of the products and service offerings of A-S with existing and future Allscripts’ customers, participation in the development and promotion of joint marketing materials, sharing of certain customer and sales lead information, and other related marketing service obligations. The Marketing Agreement contains a provision that could result in a reduction of annual fees not to exceed $1,200 per year if a material adverse change in law, as defined, results in a significant reduction in Medications Services customer revenues related to the Meds Agreement, as defined.

The sale of the prepackaged medication business resulted in a loss of approximately $1,588, which has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2009. The loss on the sale for the year ended May 31, 2009 was calculated as follows:

5. Other Assets

Medem

On August 18, 2004, Allscripts entered into a Convertible Secured Promissory Note Purchase Agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”) with Medem and certain other investors. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Allscripts acquired a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,600 (“Promissory Note”) under which Medem borrowed $2,600 from Allscripts. On May 28, 2007, Allscripts converted the Promissory Note into 2,317 shares of Medem’s Series A Common Stock.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement described above, Allscripts also entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Allscripts purchased shares of Medem’s Series A Voting Common Stock and shares of Medem’s Series B Non-voting Common Stock. As of May 31, 2010, Allscripts owns 2,338 shares of Medem’s Series A Voting Common Stock and 91 shares of Medem’s Series B Non-voting Common Stock and 160 share warrants (combined 16.7% equity ownership). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, Allscripts received $479 as a return of capital from Medem. Allscripts’ total investment in Medem was $940 and $1,419 under the cost basis of accounting as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is recorded in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the investment is dependent upon the actual and forecast financial performance of Medem, its market indicators of value, and the volatility inherent in the external markets for this type of investment. In assessing potential impairment of the investment, we consider these factors, as well as the forecasted financial performance of Medem, liquidation preference value of the stock that we hold, and estimated potential for investment recovery. If any of these factors indicate that the investment has become other-than-temporarily impaired, we may have to record an impairment charge. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, Allscripts determined that its investment in Medem was impaired and a charge of $1,800 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Perpetual License

On September 15, 2008, MHS entered into an agreement with iMedica (now Aprima Medical Software, Inc., or “Aprima”) (the “Aprima Agreement”), under which the Company has a perpetual license to certain software code developed by Aprima, which the Company has incorporated into its Allscripts MyWay product. The perpetual license is being amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years. The net value of this

perpetual license was $8,311 and $9,811 as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to this license was $1,500, $689 and $0 for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On July 17, 2009, the Company and Aprima entered into an amendment to the License Agreement to settle a dispute relating to certain terms of the License Agreement. As consideration for entering into this amendment, Allscripts paid Aprima $2,000, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2010.

As part of the License Agreement, MHS agreed to pay Aprima a total of $12,000 in cash contingent upon delivery by Aprima and acceptance by MHS of the licensed code and services, and to surrender its minority equity stake in Aprima along with any outstanding prepaid royalties. Misys plc made the $12,000 payment on MHS’ behalf. During the three months ended November 30, 2008, the Company reviewed the fair market value of its Aprima software code license and determined that it was impaired. The impairment was valued by comparing the expected discounted future cash flows to be generated by the Aprima source code license to its carrying value. The resulting impairment charge of $14,076 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended May 31, 2009.

6. Long-Term Debt and Bank Credit Facility

Long-term debt outstanding as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 consists of the following:


	May 31,
	2010	2009
Long-term revolving Credit Facility, LIBOR plus 2.00% interest	$0	$43,995
3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures	0	19,704

Total long-term debt	$0	$63,699

Interest expense for the three years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1,993, $2,162 and $296, respectively, which includes debt issuance cost amortization of $512, $470 and $0, respectively.

Credit Facility

On November 20, 2009 Allscripts entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). The Amendment increased the total unsecured commitment under the Credit Facility by $25,000 to $150,000. The Credit Facility matures on August 15, 2012. The Credit Facility is available in the form of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $10,000 and revolving loans. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, which rate is based upon the Company’s leverage ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year.

As of May 31, 2010, $0 in borrowings and $1,231 in letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of May 31, 2010, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was LIBOR plus 2.00%. There was no default under the Credit Facility as of May 31, 2010. The Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default (see Note 16).

Senior Convertible Debentures

In July 2004, Allscripts completed a private placement of $82,500 of the Debentures. Holders of $54,632 principal amount of the Debentures exercised their right to convert the Debentures into an aggregate of 4,854 shares of Allscripts common stock by virtue of the 2008 Transactions.

On November 7, 2008, Allscripts launched an offer to purchase for cash all of the $27,868 of Debentures then outstanding at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures being repurchased ($1,000 per each $1,000 principal amount outstanding) plus any accrued and unpaid interest, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Debentures. The offer to purchase the outstanding Debentures expired on December 9, 2008, with $8,164 of the $27,868 outstanding Debentures being repurchased for cash.

7. Income Taxes

As a result of a transaction occurring on October 10, 2008, whereas Allscripts and Misys Healthcare Systems were merged together for US Federal income tax purposes and, for the year ended May 31, 2010, income taxes are calculated on a consolidated basis. The Company’s income taxes in years prior to the transaction described above were calculated on a separate tax return basis, although the Company’s operations at that point in time were included in the U.S. Federal and state returns of the U.S. Misys consolidated group of companies.

On June 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. These principles prescribe a threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These principles also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company established an unrecognized tax benefit liability primarily related to the pre-acquisition NOLs for the Allscripts group, which was provided for as part of the accounting for the business combination between Allscripts and MHS. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. No interest or penalties were recorded for the year ended May 31, 2010.

The following table reconciles unrecognized tax benefits from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2010. There was no unrecognized tax benefit for the year ended May 31, 2008:


	Year Ended May 31,
	2010		2009
Beginning Balance at June 1, 2009 and 2008	$3,124		$0
Increases for tax positions related to the current year	228		0
Increases related to acquisition purchase accounting	0		3,124
Decreases for tax positions related to prior years	0		0
Reductions due to lapsed statute of limitations	(544	)	0

Ending Balance, end of year May 31, 2010 and 2009	$2,808		$3,124

The Company does not anticipate that within the next 12 months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease. If these unrecognized benefits were recognized, they would have decreased the Company’s annual effective tax rate.

For federal purposes, 1993 to 2010 tax years remain subject to income tax examination by federal authorities. Due to net operating loss carry forwards, in some cases the tax years continue to remain subject to examination with respect to such NOLs. For the Company’s state tax jurisdictions, 2003 to 2010 tax years remain open to income tax examination by state tax authorities.

The following is a summary of the components of the provision for income taxes:


	Year Ended May 31,
	2010	2009		2008
Current tax provision
Federal	$8,119	$3,705		$11,637
State	6,324	4,399		1,166

	14,443	8,104		12,803

Deferred tax provision
Federal	24,458	10,816		1,775
State	1,765	(544	)	177

	26,223	10,272		1,952

Income tax expense	$40,666	$18,376		$14,755

Taxes computed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% are reconciled to the provision for income taxes as follows:


	Year Ended May 31,

During the three years ended May 31, 2010, Allscripts recorded stock-based compensation cost as follows:


	Year Ended May 31,
	2010	2009	2008
Stock-based compensation:
Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. stock-based compensation expense	$13,092	$4,317	$0

Total stock-based compensation	$14,849	$5,770	$2,208

Allscripts Stock Plan—Restricted Stock Awards and Units

During the year ended May 31, 2010, management awarded 1,502 shares of restricted stock units to certain employees under the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, with a weighted average fair value of $17.35 per share. The awards of restricted stock units have an average four-year vesting term. Upon termination of an employee’s employment with Allscripts, any non-vested restricted stock units will be forfeited unless otherwise provided in an employee’s employment agreement. As of May 31, 2010, $29,952 of unearned compensation related to non-vested awards of restricted stock units was netted against the balance of additional paid in capital and will be recognized over the remaining vesting terms of the awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.45 years.

The following table summarizes the status of unvested restricted stock units outstanding at May 31, 2010 and changes during the year then ended:


	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested restricted stock units at May 31, 2009	3,168		$8.65
Awarded	1,502		$17.35
Vested	(925	)	$19.88
Forfeited	(244	)	$12.04

Non-vested restricted stock units at May 31, 2010	3,501		$12.13

During fiscal year 2009, 3,110 stock awards were granted with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $8.65. No stock awards are presented for fiscal year 2008 since unvested awards were assumed in fiscal year 2009 through the 2008 Transactions.

Allscripts Stock Plan—Stock Options

The following table summarizes the combined activity with respect to stock options granted under Allscripts’ equity incentive plans during the periods indicated:


	Options Outstanding		Weighted- Average Exercise Price	Options Exercisable	Weighted- Average Exercise Price
Balance at May 31, 2009	4,222		$5.17	4,222	$5.17
Options exercised	(732	)	$7.79
Options forfeited	(220	)	$18.56

Balance at May 31, 2010	3,270		$3.42	3,270	$3.42

Accounting guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of May 31, 2010, there was no unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance related to stock options. Additionally, no stock-based compensation expense related to Allscripts stock options was recognized during the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 since the outstanding stock options were assumed through the 2008 Transactions and fully vested; therefore, any related expense was already recognized.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, exercisable and vested as of May 31, 2010 was $50,317, which is based on Allscripts’ closing stock price of $18.81 as of May 28, 2010. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding represents the amount that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their stock options as of that date.

The total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,869 and $4,737, respectively, net of related taxes. Allscripts settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.

During fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, the following activity occurred under our plans:


	2010	2009	2008
Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised	13,131	9,097	0
Total fair value of stock awards vested	19,976	4,182	0

Information regarding stock options outstanding at May 31, 2010 is as follows:


Range of Exercise Prices	Number of Options Outstanding	Weighted-Average Exercise Price	Number of Options Exercisable	Weighted-Average Exercise Price
$0.96—$1.52	313	$0.74	313	$0.74
$1.71—$2.71	1,243	$1.51	1,243	$1.51
$3.25—$3.72	403	$2.34	403	$2.34
$4.57—$5.13	1,175	$2.99	1,175	$2.99
$6.40—$7.40	105	$6.34	105	$6.34
$10.22—$13.47	31	$9.80	31	$9.80

	3,270	$3.42	3,270	$3.42

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding and exercisable as of May 31, 2010 is 3.16 years.

Allscripts Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was effective at Allscripts Healthcare Solutions on the October 10, 2008 acquisition date and allows eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions of up to 20% of their base salary to be applied toward the purchase of full shares of common stock on the last day of the offering period. Offering periods under the ESPP are three months in duration and begin on each March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. Shares will be purchased on the last day of each offering period at a price of 95% of fair market value of the common stock on such date as reported on NASDAQ. The aggregate number of shares of Allscripts common stock that may be issued under the ESPP may not exceed 250 shares and no one employee may purchase any shares under the ESPP having a collective fair market value greater than $25 in any one calendar year. The shares available for purchase under the ESPP may be drawn from either authorized but previously unissued shares of common stock or from reacquired shares of common stock, including shares purchased by Allscripts in the open market and held as treasury shares.

Allscripts treats the ESPP as a non-compensatory plan in accordance with accounting guidance. There were 114,304 shares purchased under the ESPP for the year ended May 31, 2010.

Misys plc Stock Plan

Misys plc operates several share-based compensation plans. The Misys plc plans include both market price awards (options priced at fair value of Misys plc stock at date of grant) and nil cost awards (zero strike price). Certain of the awards include performance-based vesting conditions, otherwise options vest over a service period that is generally three years. Periodically, and in accordance with the plans, Misys plc grants share options to employees of Allscripts. The fair value of these awards is recorded as compensation cost over the term of vesting period.

The fair value of awards that contain performance-based vesting conditions was estimated at the date of grant using the Monte Carlo option pricing model. For all other awards, the fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following assumptions have been used in the option pricing models:


	2010	2009	2008
Risk-free interest rate	2.04%	3.1%-5.0%	3.8%-5.5%
Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%-3.1%
Volatility
Market value awards	N/A	N/A	N/A
Nil cost awards	46%	39%-42%	32%-37%
Expected life (years)
Market value awards	N/A	N/A	N/A
Nil cost awards	3	1.0-3.0	2.0-3.0

Volatility was calculated using Misys plc share price history for the period equivalent to the expected life. For awards with performance-based service conditions, vesting is tied to either total shareholder return, Misys plc earnings per share or Misys plc stock price. Additional variables used in the Monte Carlo option pricing model related to market benchmarked performance conditions include volatility of N/A, 42%, and 33% and a correlation coefficient of N/A, 0.30, and 0.16, for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Additional information with respect to the plan activity related to Allscripts for the three years ended May 31, 2010 is summarized as follows:


	Nil Cost			Market Value

The weighted-average fair value of all options granted during the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, was $2.76, $0.95, and $2.68 per share, respectively. The weighted-average remaining contractual term of options outstanding was 2.04 years as of May 31, 2010. The weighted average remaining contractual term of options exercisable was 2.24 years as of May 31, 2010. The total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized as of May 31, 2010 was $1,070 and the weighted average period over which it will be recognized is 1.35 years.

(“Misys UK Holdings”), and Misys Patriot US Holdings LLC (“Misys US Holdings” and collectively with Misys plc and Misys UK Holdings, “Misys”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, and during the two-year term of the Company’s open market purchase program, the Company has agreed to purchase from Misys, and Misys has agreed to sell to the Company, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock needed to keep Misys’ ownership percentage in the Company unaffected by the open market repurchases being made by the Company.

Under the Board of Directors approved stock repurchase program, the Company may purchase up to $150,000 of its common stock over two years. Repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases also have been made from Misys pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement. The aggregate amount of shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan, whether pursuant to any 10b5-1 plan, Rule 10b-18 or the Repurchase Agreement, will not exceed the lesser of $150,000 (including commissions) or 15,000 shares. During the quarter ended May 31, 2009, the Company repurchased and cancelled 2,349 shares of common stock from the open market and 3,075 shares of common stock from Misys.

11. Business Segments

Authoritative guidance 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 has organized its business around groups of similar customers, which resulted in three reportable segments: clinical solutions, health solutions and prepackaged medications. The clinical solutions segment derives its revenue from the sale of clinical and practice management solutions and related services to physicians. Clinical solutions include electronic medical records software, practice management software, related installation and training services, electronic claims administration services and the resale of related hardware. The health solutions segment derives its revenue from the sale of clinical and practice management solutions and related services to hospital providers. Health solutions include software, related installation and training services, and the resale of related hardware. The prepackaged medications segment derived its revenue from the prepackaged medications business, including wholesale medication sales and on-site medication dispensing. As noted below, the prepackaged medications business was disposed of in fiscal year 2009.

The Company does not track its assets by segment. The Company does not allocate interest expense or income taxes to its operating segments. In addition, the Company records corporate selling, general, and

administrative expenses and amortization of intangibles in its unallocated corporate costs. These costs are not included in the evaluation of the financial performance of the operating segments.

During fiscal year 2009, Misys paid $6,137 on MHS’ behalf for acquisition-related transaction costs for investment banking fees, loan commitment fees, legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the 2008 Transactions. These payments were accounted for as a deemed distribution from parent for acquisition-related transaction costs (see Notes 2 and 12).

Trademark License

On October 10, 2008, Misys terminated its existing trademark license to MHS and replaced it with a royalty-free license (the “Trademark License Agreement”) enabling MHS to use the Misys brand name and logo and certain Misys healthcare-specific marks and to sublicense to Allscripts and its affiliates the use of such licensed marks in their respective healthcare information technology businesses. Also on October 10, 2008, MHS and Allscripts executed a sublicense agreement (the “Trademark Sublicense Agreement”) consistent with the terms of the Trademark License Agreement. The Trademark License Agreement and Trademark Sublicense Agreement were entered into before Allscripts and Misys became related parties.

Proprietary Software License

On October 10, 2008, Misys Open Source Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of Misys, licensed to MHS on a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide basis the proprietary components of the Misys Connect software owned by Misys’ open source division for use in healthcare information technology products and services (the “Proprietary License”). Under the terms of the Proprietary License, MHS, Allscripts and Allscripts’ wholly-owned subsidiaries may license use of the proprietary Misys Connect software to their customers and are responsible for maintaining and supporting their customers’ use of the licensed Misys Connect software. The Proprietary Software License Agreement was entered into before Allscripts and Misys became related parties.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

On October 10, 2008, in connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. As amended and restated, our certificate or incorporation and bylaws provide that Misys is entitled to nominate six of ten directors for election to our board of directors. Additionally, the amendments establish the composition of the committees of our board of directors.

Relationship Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Allscripts and Misys entered into a Relationship Agreement dated as of March 17, 2009, as amended (the “Relationship Agreement”). The Relationship Agreement sets forth the agreement between Misys and Allscripts with respect to certain governance and other matters, including the composition of Allscripts’ board of directors, a voting agreement from Misys and a standstill agreement that Misys will not acquire more than 60 percent of the fully-diluted number of shares of Allscripts common stock. The Relationship Agreement contains Misys’ agreement not to sell, transfer or dispose of 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares of Allscripts’ common stock unless approved by our board of directors. The Relationship Agreement also contains anti-dilution protection for Misys in the event of issuances of common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as grants under Allscripts’ benefit plans under 1.95 percent of the fully-diluted number of shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Relationship Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2009, Misys agreed to cause the shares of Allscripts’ common stock held by its subsidiaries to be voted in favor of a proposal to increase the number of shares available under Allscripts’ stock incentive plan by up to 10,000 shares.

Misys Stock Award Plans

15. Contingencies

On August 4, 2009, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, Glen Tullman and William Davis by the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union No. 630 Pension-Annuity Trust Fund on behalf of a purported class consisting of stockholders who purchased Allscripts common stock between May 8, 2007 and February 13, 2008. On October 13, 2009, David Robb was appointed lead plaintiff, and on November 25, 2009, an amended complaint was filed containing allegations that the Company, Tullman and Davis made materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with the release of TouchWorks EHR, Version 11. On January 11, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On April 13, 2010, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss on the grounds that plaintiffs failed to sufficiently describe the confidential sources upon which the allegations in the amended complaint were based. On May 12, 2010, the court granted plaintiffs leave to replead. On May 14, 2010, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which attributed certain allegations to four different confidential witnesses, but made no other substantive changes. On June 11, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The motion is fully briefed and awaiting ruling.

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, other pending and potential legal actions for damages and other matters arising in the normal conduct of our business. Two matters in particular are described below, which relate to intellectual property claims asserted against the Company. The Company believes that the two matters described in the next paragraph are not material and that the Company has strong defensive positions in both matters. Neither claim relates to the core of the Company’s applications. However, the outcomes of patent and copyright lawsuits are often uncertain and such lawsuits are typically expensive to litigate.

The Company is a defendant, together with multiple other defendants in the healthcare technology industry, in a patent infringement action brought by Document Generation Corporation (“Document Generation”) on December 11, 2008, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. This action is based upon a U.S. patent that allegedly covers various aspects of computer-assisted document generation of the creation of patient medical records and related reports. Because this case is in a preliminary stage of litigation and the outcome depends on questions of law or fact that are disputed or unclear, its impact on the Company’s results of operations cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. The action seeks damages for infringement, including treble damages. Plaintiff also seeks injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company intends to contest this matter vigorously, and the Patent Office has recently rejected all of the patent claims as invalid in view of the prior art as a result of an on-going re-examination of the patent-in-suit. The Company is also a defendant, together with multiple other defendants in the healthcare technology industry, in a separate patent infringement action brought by Document Generation on December 5, 2007, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. This action involves a second patent that is related to the patent-at-issue in the case in the Eastern District of Texas. The case in the Southern District of Illinois has been stayed pending re-examination of the subject patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The claims in the second patent have also been rejected as being invalid in view of the prior art by the Patent Office as a result of its on-going reexamination. Both cases have been settled with no material impact on the Company’s results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2010.

On September 8, 2008, Pegasus Imaging Corporation (“Pegasus”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and Allscripts, LLC, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Pegasus’ claims against the Company include breach of license agreement, copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair trade practices and unfair competition based on the Company’s allegedly unauthorized use of a software development toolkit related to barcode recognition. Following substantial further pretrial proceedings before the Court and a subsequent mediation session, the parties have agreed to submit this dispute to binding arbitration. The Company believes it has a strong defensive position in this matter.

On or about June 15, 2010, Rajesh Nama, on behalf of himself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a purported class action complaint in the Superior Court of DeKalb County, State of Georgia, captioned Nama v. Pead, et al. The lawsuit names Allscripts, Arsenal Merger Corp. (“Arsenal”), Eclipsys, and each of the directors of Eclipsys as defendants. On or about June 17, 2010, John Scoggins, on behalf of himself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a second purported class action complaint in the same court and against the same defendants (except not Arsenal) captioned Scoggins v. Eclipsys Corp., et al. On or about June 18, 2010, Colleen Witmer, on behalf of herself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a third purported class action complaint in the same court and against the same defendants as the first case and captioned Witmer v. Casey, et al. On or about June 22, 2010, Michael Hiers, on behalf of himself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a fourth purported class action complaint in the same court and against the same parties as the first case and captioned Hiers v. Casey, et al. On or about June 22, 2010, the Iron Workers of Western Pennsylvania Pension Plan, on behalf of itself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a fifth purported class action complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia, and against the same defendants as the first case (except not Allscripts or Arsenal) and captioned Iron Workers of W. Pennsylvania Pension Plan v. Pead, et al.

On or about June 30, 2010, the plaintiff in the Iron Workers case dismissed its complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia and refiled its complaint in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County,

100

State of Georgia. On or about July 9, 2010, the plaintiff in the Iron Workers case filed an Amended Complaint. On or about July 9, 2010, Jody Madala, individually and on behalf of the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a sixth purported class action complaint in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, State of Georgia against the same defendants as the first case (except not Allscripts or Arsenal) captioned Madala v. Pead et al.

The lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Eclipsys directors breached their fiduciary duties and that Eclipsys aided and abetted those breaches. Five of the complaints (excepting the first) also allege facts concerning the proposed secondary public offering of certain Allscripts shares owned by Misys and the buy back by Allscripts of certain shares owned by Misys. The two lawsuits pending in Gwinnett County contain allegations that the joint proxy statement/prospectus/information statement on Form S-4 is materially misleading in certain respects including the omission of information concerning certain financial projections and whether or how the parties and their financial advisors have accounted for certain proceeds to be paid to Misys in the stock buy back. The four lawsuits pending in DeKalb County also allege that Allscripts aided and abetted such alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the directors of Eclipsys. Based on these allegations, the lawsuits seek, among other relief, injunctive relief enjoining the merger, and certain lawsuits seek damages in the alternative. They also purport to seek recovery of the costs of the action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Based on the facts known to date, the defendants believe that the claims asserted against them in these lawsuits are without merit, and the defendants intend to defend themselves vigorously against the claims.

On or about July 12, 2010, the plaintiffs in the Nama and Scoggins actions jointly filed an amended complaint containing additional allegations including allegations concerning allegedly false and misleading statements in the joint proxy statement/prospectus/information statement on Form S-4 relating to, among other things, financial projections, synergies, the financial analyses of the parties’ financial advisors, and the events leading up to the transaction.

16. Subsequent Events

On June 9, 2010, Allscripts and Eclipsys, a leading enterprise provider of solutions and services for hospitals and clinicians, announced a definitive agreement to merge in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $1.3 billion. Under terms of the merger agreement, Eclipsys stockholders will receive 1.2 shares of Allscripts for each share of Eclipsys.

The merger agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors of both Allscripts and Eclipsys. The Board of Directors of the combined company will initially consist of a combination of the current directors of Allscripts and Eclipsys. The merger will be subject to stockholder approvals from both Allscripts and Eclipsys, and other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

In addition, the transaction is subject to the completion of a secondary offering of Allscripts shares owned by Misys, currently the majority stockholder of Allscripts, and the completion of the Allscripts buyback from Misys of additional Allscripts shares owned by Misys, which will substantially reduce Misys’s share ownership of Allscripts prior to the closing of the merger.

Misys has entered into a voting agreement with Allscripts and Eclipsys pursuant to which Misys has agreed to vote certain of its Allscripts shares at the Allscripts stockholder meeting in favor of the issuance of Allscripts shares to Eclipsys stockholders in connection with the merger. These shares will total approximately 15.5 million, the total number of shares Misys is expected to hold after the buyback and secondary offering. Certain directors of Allscripts and Eclipsys have also entered into voting agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares at their respective company stockholder meetings in favor of the merger.

In connection with the merger, Allscripts will facilitate a reduction of Misys’s equity stake in Allscripts from approximately 55% to approximately 10% through an underwritten secondary equity offering and share

101

buyback. This reduction in equity stake will enable Misys to maintain compliance with listing requirements of the United Kingdom listing authorities. Misys will sell to the public in the secondary offering a minimum of approximately 36 million of its Allscripts shares, or 25 million shares if our stockholders approve the issuance of our common stock in connection with the Eclipsys Merger and Eclipsys stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. Additionally, Allscripts will buy back from Misys, concurrent with the closing of the secondary offering, approximately 24.4 million of its Allscripts shares at a price of $18.82 per share, or $460 million in total, plus a payment of a premium of $117.4 million in consideration for the sale by Misys of its controlling interest, for a total of $577.4 million.

The secondary offering and share buyback transactions will be subject to Misys shareholder approval, and will be subject to other conditions precedent, including: (i) Misys obtaining a price per share in the secondary offering of no less than $16.50; and (ii) Allscripts obtaining debt financing sufficient to complete the share buyback. The closing of the financing for the share buyback is subject to execution of definitive loan documentation, compliance by Allscripts with financial covenants (on a historical and pro forma basis) and other closing conditions.

Allscripts has secured financing commitments from JP Morgan, Barclays Capital and UBS for a total of $720 million in senior secured credit facilities, which includes a six-year $570 million term loan facility and a five-year $150 million revolving credit facility, to finance the share buy-back and to provide access to additional working capital for its operations.

After the closing of the merger, Misys will have a right to require Allscripts to repurchase an additional 5.3 million Allscripts shares for $100 million at a price of $18.82 per share, and an additional $1.6 million premium, all of which will be funded through cash reserves of the combined company. Misys must elect to exercise its right to require Allscripts to repurchase these shares within 10 days after closing of the merger. If Misys sells 25 million shares in the secondary offering and it does exercise the buy-back option, Misys’s equity stake in the combined company is expected to be approximately 8% and Eclipsys’ stockholders will own approximately 13.5% of the combined company.

Additionally, on June 9, 2010, Allscripts and Misys entered into an Extension and Amendment Agreement to the Shared Services Agreement, which (i) extends the term of the existing Shared Services Agreement dated as of March 1, 2009 between Allscripts and Misys until the earlier of October 10, 2010 and the closing of the secondary offering and share buyback transactions, and (ii) provides for certain amendments to the services to be provided and the terms of service.

In connection with the proposed merger and related transactions, the Company recorded expenses of approximately $7,700 which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2010.

In connection with the Eclipsys Merger, purported stockholders of Eclipsys have filed putative stockholder class action lawsuits against Eclipsys and its directors, Allscripts and Arsenal Merger Corp. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs seek to enjoin the Eclipsys Merger. The outcome of any such litigation is inherently uncertain. Each company may incur substantial costs and expenses to defend the company. If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the Eclipsys Merger. The outcome may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under the heading Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
