Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in MEDITECH's Form 10-K/A filed on February 13, 2009. The unaudited financial statements presented herein have not been audited by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), but in the opinion of management such financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly MEDITECH's financial position, operating results and cash flow.

2. MEDITECH follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 requires reporting both basic and diluted earnings per share. MEDITECH has no common share equivalents such as preferred stock, warrants or stock options which would dilute earnings per share. Thus, earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period.

 3 monthsended on
 Mar 31, 2008Mar 31, 2009
 

Net income$21,474,242$17,176,860
Average number of shares35,618,70835,692,426
Earnings per share$0.60$0.48

The average number of shares outstanding during the periods reflects the issuance of 206,155 shares in February 2008 pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and the issuance of 15,000 shares sold to a Director in February 2009.

3. MEDITECH follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS 115 requires companies to classify their investments as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. MEDITECH's marketable securities consist of common and preferred equities which have been classified as available-for-sale. These are recorded in the financial statements at fair value and any unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, are reported as a component of shareholder equity. The fair value of marketable securities was determined based on quoted prices in active markets. In addition MEDITECH holds bank and government notes which have been classified as held-to-maturity. These are recorded in the financial statements at their cost which approximates their fair value.

SFAS 115 requires that for each individual security classified as available-for-sale, a company shall determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other-than- temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged as such, the cost basis of the individual security shall be reduced to fair value and the amount of the write-down shall be reflected in earnings. During the 1st quarter 2009 MEDITECH determined the decline in fair value of 6 equity issues to be other-than-temporary and reduced their cost basis by $1,725,000 to bring it in line with fair value.

Page 6 of 12


MEDITECH's resultant marketable securities had a fair value of $115,497,345 which included gross unrealized gains of $1,597,044 and gross unrealized losses of $27,114,194. Most of the securities in loss status are preferred securities issued by large financial institutions and agencies such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The preferred securities had an adjusted cost of $102,786,005 as compared to a fair value of $77,509,691 at March 31, 2009. None of these securities have been in a loss status in excess of twelve months.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, MEDITECH began to evaluate its preferred securities for other-than-temporary impairment using an impairment model consistent with a debt security. This change in practice is in accordance with new accounting guidance related to these instruments, issued in a letter from the SEC to the FASB, dated October 14, 2008. Unlike equity securities, which use a "near term" period of recoverability when assessing impairment (usually six months), the assessment period for impairment of debt securities is dependent on the investor's ability and intent to hold the security until recovery, as well as an evaluation of the credit worthiness of the issuer.

MEDITECH has evaluated the unrealized losses as of March 31, 2009 in accordance with this new guidance, and has concluded that the unrealized losses are temporary in nature. The factors that MEDITECH considered included the severity and duration of the loss, MEDITECH's intent and ability to hold these securities for an extended period of time until recovery, and that all of the issuers are current on dividend payments and maintain investment grade ratings. MEDITECH also considered the effect of fluctuating interest rates, current economic and industry conditions, and the issuers' current financial position in order to reach its conclusion that these impairments were temporary at March 31, 2009. MEDITECH continues to evaluate whether the situation warrants further write-downs.

4. MEDITECH follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity including items such as net unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments.

5. MEDITECH follows the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, and as such, accounts for the equity investments in LSS Data Systems Inc. and MEDITECH South Africa in accordance with the cost method. Both companies license MEDITECH's software technology and re-license it to their respective customers. Each serves a market niche which is part of the overall medical market but is outside of the hospital market which MEDITECH serves. Included in these investments is the $2,080,000 balance on a mortgage note from LSS Data Systems Inc. which is fully collateralized by land and buildings owned and occupied as corporate headquarters by the borrower. MEDITECH believes the fair value of these investments which are included in other assets approximates its carrying value of $6,107,561 at March 31, 2009.

Patient Care Technologies, Inc. (PtCT) is engaged in the development, manufacture and licensing of computer software products and their support for the home health care market. During the 2nd quarter 2007 MEDITECH acquired PtCT which then became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MEDITECH. The financial statements for 2007 and thereafter are presented on a consolidated basis. MEDITECH accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the identified intangibles, such as developed technology and backlog, and unidentified intangibles are based upon management's estimates of fair value as of the date of acquisition. An acquired deferred tax asset was also recognized to reflect the carryforward of net operating losses expected to be realized.

The identified intangibles were valued at $5,977,801, are being amortized over their 7 year useful lives and are included in other assets. A deferred tax liability was recognized to reflect the tax effect of these identified intangibles as such amounts are not deductible for tax purposes. The unidentified intangibles were valued at $1,211,786, are not amortizable and are also included in other assets. This amount is evaluated annually for impairment. MEDITECH conducted it annual impairment test as of December 31, 2008 and has concluded this asset to be recoverable.

6. MEDITECH follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Based on the criteria set forth in FIN 48, MEDITECH's tax reserves amounted to potential tax assessments of $5,378,971 plus interest and penalties of $9,840,012 at December 31, 2008 and have not changed materially at March 31, 2009. These reserves relate to research tax credit, domestic production activities deduction, and state nexus. The years 2006 through 2008 are subject to examination by the IRS, and various years are subject to examination by state tax authorities.

7. MEDITECH follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Based on the criteria set forth in SFAS 131, MEDITECH currently operates in one operating segment, medical software and services. MEDITECH derives substantially all of its operating revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services. All of MEDITECH's assets are located within the United States. The following table indicates the operating revenue percentage based on location of customer.

8. Effective January 1, 2008, MEDITECH adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides for expanded disclosure and guidelines to determine fair market value of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require or permit assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. MEDITECH's marketable securities represent assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and full quantitative disclosure is provided under footnote 3.

Total revenue from both existing and new customers decreased by $3.1 million. It was composed of $7.3 million in reduced product revenue and $4.2 million in additional service revenue.

Operating expense increased by $0.6 million or 1.0% due primarily to additional staff related expenses. The resultant operating income decreased by $3.7 million.

Other income decreased by $3.2 million due primarily to reduced investment income. Other expense decreased by $0.2 million due primarily to reduced professional fees. The resultant pretax income decreased by $6.8 million or 19.7%.

MEDITECH's effective tax rate increased from 37.7% to 37.9% due primarily to an investment impairment of $1.7 million with no tax benefit. Net income decreased by $4.3 million due primarily to reduced revenue.

Outstanding number of shares35,687,42635,702,426
Shareholder equity per share$9.90$9.45

Accounts payable increased by $3.3 million during the quarter primarily because no payroll tax withholding was outstanding at December 31, 2008 while $3.0 million was outstanding at March 31, 2009.

Taxes payable increased by $5.8 million during the quarter primarily as a result of the federal tax payment schedule which calls for payment of both the first and second quarter's estimated tax expense during the second quarter.

Accrued expenses decreased by $20.0 million during the quarter primarily as a result of the payment of $28.3 million in bonuses applicable to 2008, offset by the accrual of $7.4 million in bonus expenses applicable to 2009.

At March 31, 2009 MEDITECH's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $163.7 million. Marketable securities consisted of preferred and common equities plus bank and government notes. For the first three months of 2009 cash flow from operations was $13.5 million, cash flow from investing was $43.7 million and cash flow used in financing was $21.9 million. The payment of $22.5 million in dividends to shareholders was the primary use of cash generated by operating activities during the quarter.

Page 9 of 12


MEDITECH has no long-term debt. Shareholder equity at March 31, 2009 was $337.2 million. Management anticipates additions to fixed assets will continue, including new facilities and computer systems for product development, sales and marketing, implementation, service and administrative staff. Management believes existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities together with funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating and capital expense requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

None.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of MEDITECH's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on the effectiveness of MEDITECH's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded MEDITECH's disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their knowledge, effective to ensure information requiring disclosure by MEDITECH in reports which it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There were no changes in MEDITECH's internal control over financial reporting occurring during the fiscal quarter covered by this report which have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect MEDITECH's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

During February 2005 a former employee filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Medical Information Technology Profit Sharing Plan and all six of MEDITECH's Directors. The complaint was subsequently amended to add MEDITECH as a defendant. During March 2006 the court dismissed the breach of fiduciary duty claims brought against the individual defendants. The remaining claim is an ERISA benefits claim against the Plan, the Plan's trustee, and MEDITECH. The complaint seeks certification of the case as a class action, a judgment against the defendants, a permanent injunction ordering the Plan to consult an outside appraiser in valuing the Plan's assets, removal of the Plan Trustee, and damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. During March 2007 the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for the complaint to be certified as a class action. Subsequently the plaintiffs requested reconsideration of the decision, which was also denied. The plaintiffs then sought permission to appeal the decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. In July 2007 this was also denied. Discovery was closed on November 27, 2007. In March 2008 plaintiffs filed an amended motion for class certification, which defendants have opposed. In April 2008 defendants filed a motion for summary judgment which plaintiffs have opposed. A hearing on the class certification and summary judgment motions took place on June 17, 2008. On February 9, 2009 the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a decision denying the plaintiffs' amended motion for class certification and granting defendants' motion for summary judgment thereby dismissing the case and accordingly entered judgment in favor of MEDITECH and the other defendants.
