NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are considered of a normal recurring nature. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

     Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 15, 2001.

2. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     Marketable securities consist of funds that are highly liquid and are classified as available-for-sale. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income.

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     The current portion of unbilled accounts receivable was $12.3 million and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The non-current portion of unbilled accounts receivable was $3.1 million and $3.3 million as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The components of comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (in thousands):

                                 
    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended
    September 30,   September 30,
    2001   2000   2001   2000

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and other Intangibles.” Under this new standard the FASB eliminated amortization of goodwill and created indefinite life intangible assets and established new impairment measurement procedures for goodwill. For calendar-year reporting companies, this standard becomes effective January 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing this standard.

     In June of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The statement provides accounting and reporting standards for recognizing obligations related to asset retirement costs associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Under this statement, legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are to be recognized at their fair value in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method over the assets’ useful life. Any subsequent changes to the fair value of the liability due to passage of time or changes in the amount or timing of estimated cash flows is recognized as an accretion expense. For calendar-year reporting companies, this standard becomes effective January 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing this standard.

     In October of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after Dec 15, 2001. This statement supercedes FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.” However, it retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. Impairment on Goodwill is not included in the scope of SFAS No. 144 and will be treated in accordance with the accounting standards established in SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” According to SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets are to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. For calendar-year reporting companies, this standard becomes effective January 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing this standard.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This report contains forward-looking statements. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based upon information available to Eclipsys as of the date hereof and Eclipsys assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks include potential financial constraints and other factors faced by the healthcare industry, changing customer requirements and other risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2000 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2001.

OVERVIEW

     We are a healthcare information technology company. Our solutions assist healthcare organizations in achieving balanced outcomes through an appropriate and sustainable combination of clinical quality, efficient use of resources and patient satisfaction. We have designed our solutions to help our customers deliver better healthcare through knowledge. Our solutions consist of a comprehensive service offering and seven integrated software suites that we market under the Sunrise brand name.

     Our software applications consist of individual integrated product components that can be implemented in any combination and integrated with our customers’ existing information technology systems. We believe the open, modular and component-based nature of our software architecture reduces the overall cost of ownership and reduces the time to productive use because our solutions do not require the initial investment and disruption associated with a complete replacement of a customer’s existing legacy systems. To facilitate rapid adoption by our customers, we have engineered our solutions to take advantage of Web-based technologies. Our software applications are available to our customers for implementation in-house or through our remote hosting service, and are designed to work in a variety of healthcare settings.

     In addition, we provide a range of services to our customers, including implementation, integration, support, maintenance and training. We also provide outsourcing, remote hosting, networking services and business solutions consulting to assist customers in meeting their healthcare information technology requirements. Through this comprehensive service offering and our integrated software suites, we provide our customers with an end-to-end solution for their clinical, financial and administrative information needs.

     We market our solutions primarily to healthcare organizations, particularly academic medical centers. We have one or more of our products installed or being installed in over 1,450 facilities in the United States and other countries. We maintain decentralized sales and customer support teams in each of our five North American regions to provide direct sustained customer contact.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Systems and services revenues increased $11.4 million, or 23.9%, to $59.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared with $47.9 million for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, systems and services revenues increased $12.6 million, or 8.2%, to $166.3 million, compared to $153.7 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in systems and services revenues for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily attributable to revenues generated under the Company’s comprehensive solutions offerings which were entered into during the second quarter of 2000 and in subsequent periods and other new contracted business. These offerings bundle the software license fees (including the right to future products within the suite sold), implementation, maintenance, outsourcing, remote hosting, networking services and other related services into comprehensive contracts that generally provide for monthly or annual payments over the term of the contracts. Revenues under these arrangements are recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the contract, which typically ranges from seven to ten years.

     Hardware revenues increased $0.4 million, or 15.0%, to $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared with $2.7 million for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, hardware revenues increased $1.3 million, or 14.8%, to $10.0 million, compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in hardware revenues in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily due to increased shipments under contracts entered into over the last several quarters.

     Cost of systems and services revenues decreased $9.8 million, or 24.1%, to $30.9 million, or 52.1% of systems and services revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $40.7 million, or 85.0% of systems and services revenues, for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cost of systems and services revenues decreased $17.1 million, or 15.7%, to $91.7 million, or 55.2% of systems and services revenues, compared to $108.8 million, or 70.8% of systems and services revenues, for the same period in 2000. The decrease in cost of systems and services revenues for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was due to several factors. The most significant factor was an $8.7 million charge recorded in the third quarter of 2000 to write-down certain receivables related to contracts assumed in acquisitions. Also in the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $0.7 million for other costs related to completing the integration of its acquisitions. Other factors contributing to the decrease were the realization of integration synergies and restructuring, which resulted in lower salaries and payroll related expenses, including medical insurance and travel. Additionally the Company reduced the usage of outside consultants, relying more on internal resources. These cost savings were partially offset by higher amortization of capitalized software development costs.

     Cost of hardware revenues increased $0.5 million, or 24.6%, to $2.7 million, or 86.0% of hardware revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $2.2 million, or 79.3% of hardware revenues, for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cost of hardware revenues increased $1.3 million, or 19.0%, to $8.3 million, or 82.7% of hardware revenues, compared to $7.0 million, or 79.8% of hardware revenues, for the same period in 2000. The increase in cost of hardware revenues for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was directly attributable to higher hardware revenues and lower margins due to pricing pressure in the hardware sector.

     Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.8 million, or 8.0%, to $10.7 million, or 17.2% of total revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $9.9 million, or 19.7% of total revenues, for the third quarter in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, sales and marketing expenses increased $2.7 million, or 9.4%, to $31.9 million, or 18.1% of total revenues, compared to $29.1 million, or 17.9% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily due to an increase in commissions resulting from an increase in new contracted business as well as costs associated with newly implemented sales incentive programs.

     Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were relatively unchanged from the third quarter of 2000 at $9.2 million. This represented 14.8% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2001, compared to 18.2% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, research and development expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 1.0%, to $27.8 million, or 15.8% of total revenues, compared to $28.1 million, or 17.3% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. The decrease in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, was due primarily to the realization of integration synergies and restructuring. The percentage of research and development expenditures capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was of 15.4%, compared to 14.9% for the same period in 2000. As a result of certain products becoming available for general release, amortization of capitalized software development costs, which is included in cost of systems and services revenues, increased by $1.3 million to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2000.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 25.7%, to $2.5 million, or 3.9% of total revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $3.3 million, or 6.6% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 4.5%, to $7.9 million, or 4.5% of total revenues, compared to $8.2 million, or 5.1% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. General and administrative expenses were higher for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 primarily as a result of a bad debt provision of $0.7 million.

     Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million, or 5.8%, to $4.0 million, or 6.4% of total revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $3.8 million, or 7.5% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.5 million, or 4.4%, to $11.6 million, or 6.6% of total revenues, compared to $11.1 million, or 6.8% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily the result of purchases of computer equipment and the expansion of our Boston office.

     During the quarter ended September 30, 2000 the Company initiated and completed a restructuring of its operations. The restructuring rationalized employee headcount following the completion of the integration of the Company’s acquisitions. Additionally, the Company consolidated its research and development and implementation functions. Charges in connection with this restructuring plan totaled $1.2 million.

     The transaction costs recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, relate primarily to the proposed transactions with Shared Medical Systems Corp. (SMS) and Neoforma.com, Inc. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, transaction costs were $1.9 million, inclusive of the ($1.2) million benefit for the third quarter of 2000, which was the result of the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable reductions in certain costs. Transaction costs recorded during the nine month period in 2001 were ($0.5) million as the result of the completion of certain activities related to prior pooling of interest transactions which were completed for less than original estimates.

     Interest income increased $1.4 million, or 616.6%, to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, interest income increased $3.8 million, or 424.6%, to $4.7 million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily due to higher cash and marketable securities balances as a result of the completion of a public offering of the Company’s common stock and additional cash provided from operating activities.

     Other income recorded during the first quarter of 2000 related to a gain on the Company’s investment in SMS.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $164.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. During the first nine months of 2001, the Company’s operations provided cash of $20.1 million. Investing activities used cash of $65.5 million, of which $50.7 million was the purchase of marketable securities. Cash was also used for the purchase of fixed assets and the funding of development costs. Financing activities provided cash of $137.8 million, from issuance of common stock in a public offering, exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan, offset by the repayment of all outstanding debt.

     Management believes that the available cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and anticipated cash generated from the Company’s future operations will be sufficient to meet it’s operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We do not currently use derivative financial instruments. We generally buy highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less. Based upon the nature of our investments, we do not expect any material loss from our investments.

     Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. A rise in interest rates may adversely impact the fair market value of fixed rate securities, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have declined in market value. Based upon a cash and marketable securities balance of $165 million, a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates, from a hypothetical rate of 4%, could result in a change in interest income of approximately $660,000 over a one year period.

     The Company accounts for cash equivalents and marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115. “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value. Marketable securities consist of funds that are highly liquid and are classified as available-for-sale. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income.

     We do not currently enter into foreign currency hedge transactions. Through September 30, 2001, foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
