NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which consists of NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, LLC (“NextGen”), NextGen RCM Services, LLC, Opus Healthcare Solutions, LLC (“Opus”), ViaTrack Systems, LLC (“ViaTrack”), Matrix Management Solutions, LLC ("Matrix"), QSI Management, LLC and Quality Systems India Healthcare Private Limited (“QSIH”) (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information and notes which would be presented were such consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Amounts related to disclosures of March 31, 2012 balances within these interim consolidated financial statements were derived from the aforementioned Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.
References to amounts in the consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except shares and per share data, unless otherwise specified.
On July 27, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split (the “stock split”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 6, 2011 received one additional share for every outstanding share held on the record date. The additional shares were distributed on October 26, 2011. All share and per share data provided herein gives effect to this stock split, applied retroactively.
Revenue Recognition. The Company generates revenue from the sale of licensing rights to its software products directly to end-users and value-added resellers, or VARs. The Company also generates revenue from sales of hardware and third-party software, implementation, training, electronic data interchange (“EDI”), post-contract support (maintenance) and other services, including revenue cycle management (“RCM”), performed for clients who license its products.
A typical system contract contains multiple elements of the above items. Revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements is allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements. The fair value of an element is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly or annually depending on the nature of the product or service. The Company has established VSOE for the related undelivered elements based on the bell-shaped curve method. Maintenance VSOE for the Company's largest clients is based on stated renewal rates only if the rate is determined to be substantive and falls within the Company's customary pricing practices.
When evidence of fair value exists for the delivered and undelivered elements of a transaction, then discounts for individual elements are aggregated and the total discount is allocated to the individual elements in proportion to the elements' fair value relative to the total contract fair value.
When evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements only, the residual method is used. Under the residual method, the Company defers revenue related to the undelivered elements in a system sale based on VSOE of fair value of each of the undelivered elements and allocates the remainder of the contract price net of all discounts to revenue recognized from the delivered elements. If VSOE of fair value of any undelivered element does not exist, all revenue is deferred until VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element is established or the element has been delivered.
Provided the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable, revenue from licensing rights and sales of hardware and third-party software is generally recognized upon physical or electronic shipment and transfer of title. In certain transactions where collection risk is high, the revenue is deferred until collection occurs or becomes probable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, then the revenue recognized in each period (subject to application of other revenue recognition criteria) will be the lesser of the aggregate of amounts due and payable or the amount of the arrangement fee that would have been recognized if the fees were being recognized using the residual method. Fees which are considered fixed or determinable at the inception of the Company's arrangements must include the following characteristics:
| |
▪ | The fee must be negotiated at the outset of an arrangement and generally be based on the specific volume of products to be delivered without being subject to change based on variable pricing mechanisms such as the number of units copied or distributed or the expected number of users. |
| |
▪ | Payment terms must not be considered extended. If a significant portion of the fee is due more than 12 months after delivery or after the expiration of the license, the fee is presumed not fixed or determinable. |
Revenue from implementation and training services is recognized as the corresponding services are performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance period.
Contract accounting is applied where services include significant software modification, development or customization.
The Company ensures that the following criteria have been met prior to recognition of revenue:
| |
▪ | the price is fixed or determinable; |
| |
▪ | the customer is obligated to pay and there are no contingencies surrounding the obligation or the payment; |
| |
▪ | the customer's obligation would not change in the event of theft or damage to the product; |
| |
▪ | the customer has economic substance; |
| |
▪ | the amount of returns can be reasonably estimated; and |
| |
▪ | the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance in order to bring about resale of the product by the customer. |
The Company has historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. When the Company is able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is recognized, net of an allowance for returns, and these arrangements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire, provided also, that all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.
Revenue related to sales arrangements that include hosting or the right to use software stored on the Company's hardware is recognized in accordance to the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above only if the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software without incurring a significant penalty and it is feasible for the customer to either host the software themselves or through another third-party. Otherwise, the arrangement is accounted for as a service contract in which the entire arrangement is deferred and recognized over the period that the hosting services are being performed.
From time to time, the Company offers future purchase discounts on its products and services as part of its sales arrangements. Such discounts that are incremental to the range of discounts reflected in the pricing of the other elements of the arrangement, that are incremental to the range of discounts typically given in comparable transactions, and that are significant, are treated as an additional element of the contract to be deferred. Amounts deferred related to future purchase options are not recognized until either the customer exercises the discount offer or the offer expires.
RCM service revenue is derived from services fees, which include amounts charged for ongoing billing and other related services, and are generally billed to the customer as a percentage of total collections. The Company does not recognize revenue for services fees until these collections are made, as the services fees are not fixed or determinable until such time.
Revenue is reported into two categories, “system sales” and “maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services.” Revenue in the system sales category includes software license fees, third-party hardware and software and implementation and training services related to purchase of the Company's software systems. Revenue in the maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services category includes maintenance, EDI, RCM services, consulting services, annual third-party license fees, hosting services, Software as a Service ("SaaS") fees and other services revenue.
Goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the end of its first fiscal quarter, referred to as the annual test date. 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. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at a reporting-unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.
An impairment loss would generally be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit's net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has not identified any events or circumstances that would require an interim goodwill impairment test. See Note 4.

Recent Accounting Standards. New accounting pronouncements implemented by the Company during the current year or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the notes, where applicable.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test would be required. Under the revised guidance, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The revised guidance does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. In addition, the revised guidance does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and is discussed further within this footnote.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The new standard requires the presentation of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted additional guidance on fair value measurements intended to clarify the application of the existing guidance and disclosure requirements, as well as change certain fair value measurement principles and require additional disclosures surrounding these fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

(2) Marketable securities consist of fixed-income securities.
The Company’s contingent consideration liability is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and is adjusted to fair value when the carrying value differs from fair value. Key assumptions include discount rates and probability-adjusted achievement of revenue and strategic targets that are not observable in the market. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the contingent consideration liability is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. The fair values of the contingent consideration liability for Sphere Health Systems, Inc. ("Sphere"), IntraNexus, Inc. ("IntraNexus"), CQI Solutions, Inc. ("CQI"), ViaTrack, and Matrix were estimated based on the probability of achieving certain business milestones and management’s forecast of expected revenues. See Note 3.
The following table presents activity in the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2012:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has certain assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the assets is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, there were no adjustments to fair value of such assets, except for the intangible assets acquired from Matrix and The Poseidon Group, Inc. ("Poseidon") as discussed further below.
3. Business Combinations
On May 1, 2012, the Company acquired Poseidon, a leading provider of hospital emergency department documentation and web-based electronic medical record solutions. The Poseidon purchase price totaled $2,533. Poseidon operates under the Hospital Solutions Division.
On April 16, 2012, the Company acquired Matrix, a provider of revenue cycle management services, healthcare IT solutions and training, implementation and support centered around NextGen Healthcare's suite of practice management software and electronic health record solutions. The Matrix purchase price totaled $13,841. The purchase price included contingent consideration payable over an 18-month period with a fair value of $2,862, which shall not exceed $4,000. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Matrix operates under the RCM Services Division.
The Company accounted for the Matrix and Poseidon acquisitions as purchase business combinations. The purchase price for each was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the applicable acquisition date. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represent management’s estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed were determined using multiple valuation approaches depending on the type of tangible or intangible asset acquired, including but not limited to the income approach, the excess earnings method and the relief from royalty
method approach.
The total purchase price for Matrix and Poseidon acquisitions during the six months ended September 30, 2012 are summarized as follows:
|

8. Income Tax
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $8.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 36.0% and 34.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate increased as compared to the same prior year period due to the expiration of the federal research and development income tax credit statute which expired on December 31, 2011 and is therefore not included in the current year provision. In addition, there were net benefits from the reduced state effective tax rate offset by decreased benefit from stock based compensation.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $16.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 34.8% and 34.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate increased as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the factors mentioned in the quarter-to-date discussion above.
Uncertain tax positions
As of September 30, 2012, the Company has provided a liability of $563 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. If recognized, $563 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The liability for the six months ended September 30, 2012 decreased from the same prior year period by $79 due to additional state income tax contingent liability reserve and the expiration of the statute of limitations of prior year tax positions of acquired companies.
The Company's income tax returns filed for tax years 2009 through 2011 and 2008 through 2011 are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, respectively. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS and by four state income tax authorities. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statute of limitations within the next twelve months.
9. Earnings per Share
The Company provides dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share (“EPS”). Shares discussed below are in thousands.

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 1,205 and 1,024 options to acquire shares of common stock for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.
The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 455 and 307 options to acquire shares of common stock for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

Employee Stock Option Plans
In September 1998, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan (the “1998 Plan”) under which 8,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of options. The 1998 Plan provides that employees, directors and consultants of the Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted options to purchase shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option granted was determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant, and options under the 1998 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Options granted will generally become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which they were granted. Certain option grants to directors became exercisable three months from the date of grant. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 1998 Plan terminated on December 31, 2007. As of September 30, 2012, there were 40,000 outstanding options related to the 1998 Plan.
In October 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option and incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) under which 4,800,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards, including stock options, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units (including performance options) and other share-based awards. The 2005 Plan provides that employees, directors and consultants of the Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly designated compensation committee, be granted awards to acquire shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option award shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Plan, and under the 2005 Plan awards expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Options granted will generally become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which they were granted. Upon an acquisition of the Company by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option may be subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. The 2005 Plan terminates on May 25, 2015, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2012, there were 1,256,591 outstanding options and 2,887,747 shares available for future grant related to the 2005 Plan.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of share-based compensation with the following assumptions:
|
| | | | |
| | Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 |
Expected life | | 5.0 years | | 4.3 years |
Expected volatility | | 41.3% - 45.0% | | 41.2% |
Expected dividends | | 2.4% - 3.8% | | 1.6% |
Risk-free rate | | 0.7% - 0.8% | | 1.8% |
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $8.41 and $13.32 per share, respectively.
The Company issues new shares to satisfy option exercises. Based on historical experience of option cancellations, the Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 5.8% and 3.8% for employee options for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 0.0% for director options for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Forfeiture rates will be adjusted over the requisite service period when actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate.
During the six months ended September 30, 2012, a total of 511,500 options to purchase shares of common stock were granted under the 2005 Plan at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A summary of stock options granted under the 2005 Plan during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Performance-Based Awards
On May 24, 2012, the Board of Directors approved its fiscal year 2013 equity incentive program for certain employees to be awarded options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of options available under the equity incentive program plan is 600,000, of which 220,000 are reserved for the Company’s named executive officers and 380,000 for non-executive employees of the Company. Under the program, executives are eligible to receive options based on meeting certain target increases in EPS performance and revenue and operating
income growth during fiscal year 2013. Under the program, the non-executive employees are eligible to receive options based on satisfying certain management established criteria and recommendations of senior management. The options shall be issued pursuant to one of the Company’s shareholder approved option plans, have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant, a term of eight years and vesting in five equal annual installments commencing one year following the date of grant.
Compensation expense associated with the performance based awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans are initially based on the number of options expected to vest after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met. Cumulative adjustments are recorded quarterly to reflect subsequent changes in the estimated outcome of performance-related conditions. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option valuation model and recorded stock compensation expense related to the performance based awards of approximately $345 during the six months ended September 30, 2011. Stock compensation expense related to the performance based awards was not significant for the six months ended September 30, 2012. See the assumptions used below.
|
| | | |
| Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 | | Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 |
Expected life | 5.0 years | | 4.3 years |
Expected volatility | 41.7% - 45.0% | | 41.2% - 42.2% |
Expected dividends | 2.5% - 3.8% | | 1.4% - 1.6% |
Risk-free rate | 0.6% - 0.7% | | 1.0% - 1.8% |
Non-vested stock option award activity, including employee stock options and performance-based awards, during the six months ended September 30, 2012 is summarized as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| | Non-Vested Number of Shares | | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share |
Outstanding, April 1, 2012 | | 778,319 |
| | $ | 10.76 |
|
Granted | | 511,500 |
| | 8.41 |

Forfeited/Canceled | | (157,880 | ) | | 10.32 |
|
Outstanding, September 30, 2012 | | 977,725 |
| | $ | 10.01 |
|
As of September 30, 2012, $7,380 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.8 years. This amount does not include the cost of new options that may be granted in future periods or any changes in the Company’s forfeiture percentage. The total fair value of options vested during the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,270 and $1,111, respectively.
Restricted Stock
On May 24, 2012, the Board of Directors approved its 2013 Director Compensation Program, whereby each non-employee director is to be awarded shares of restricted stock upon election or re-election to the Board of Directors. The shares of restricted stock are awarded under the 2005 Plan. Such shares of restricted stock vest in two equal, annual installments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date and are nontransferable for one year following vesting. The weighted-average grant date fair value for the restricted stock was estimated using the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
As of September 30, 2012, 78,235 shares of restricted stock have been awarded under the 2013 Director Compensation Program and other director compensation programs approved by the Board of Directors for prior fiscal years, all pursuant to terms substantially similar to those described above, and approximately $324 and $246 of compensation expense related to the restricted stock was recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Restricted stock activity for the six months ended September 30, 2012 is summarized as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share |
Outstanding, April 1, 2012 | | 30,001 |
| | $ | 36.32 |
|
Granted | | 21,275 |
| | 19.08 |
|
Vested | | (17,667 | ) | | 31.95 |
|
Outstanding, September 30, 2012 | | 33,609 |
| | $ | 26.68 |
|
As of September 30, 2012, $811 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. This amount does not include the cost of new restricted stock that may be granted in future periods.
11. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had cash deposits at U.S. banks and financial institutions which exceeded federally insured limits at September 30, 2012. The Company is exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the institutions; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by these institutions.
12. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies
Commitments and Guarantees
Software license agreements in both the QSI Dental Division and NextGen Division include a performance guarantee that the Company's software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 365 days after delivery. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with its performance guarantee or other related warranties and does not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties. Certain arrangements also include performance guarantees related to response time, availability for operational use, and other performance-related guarantees. Certain arrangements also include penalties in the form of maintenance credits should the performance of the software fail to meet the performance guarantees. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with these warranties and does not expect to incur significant warranty costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with these warranties.
The Company has historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If the Company is able to estimate returns for these types of arrangements and all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, revenue is recognized and these arrangements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to estimate returns for these types of arrangements, revenue is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements until the rights of return expire, provided also, that all other criteria of revenue recognition have been met.
Certain standard sales agreements contain a money back guarantee providing for a performance guarantee that is already part of the software license agreement as well as training and support. The money back guarantee also warrants that the software will remain robust and flexible to allow participation in the federal health incentive programs. The specific elements of the performance guarantee pertain to aspects of the software, which the Company has already tested and confirmed to consistently meet using the Company's existing software without any modifications or enhancements. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs associated with this guarantee and does not expect to incur significant costs in the future. Therefore, no accrual has been made for potential costs associated with this guarantee.
The Company's standard sales agreements in the NextGen Division contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which it shall indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to its software. The QSI Dental Division arrangements occasionally utilize this type of language as well. As the Company has not incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements, the Company believes that its estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these indemnification obligations.
The Company has entered into marketing assistance agreements with existing users of the Company's products which provide the opportunity for those users to earn commissions if they host specific site visits upon the Company's request for prospective clients that directly result in a purchase of the Company's software by the visiting prospects. Amounts earned by existing users under this program are treated as a selling expense in the period when earned.
13. Operating Segment Information
The Company has four reportable segments that are evaluated regularly by its chief decision making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

(1) Unallocated corporate expense includes eliminations relating to QSIH revenues and related expenses included in the results of operating segments. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, eliminations were not significant.
Management evaluates performance based upon stand-alone segment operating income. Because the Company does not evaluate performance based upon return on assets at the operating segment level, assets are not tracked internally by segment. Therefore, segment asset information is not presented.
14. Subsequent Events
On October 25, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of December 14, 2012 with an expected distribution date on or about January 4, 2013.

Management Overview
Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate as four business divisions which are comprised of: (i) the QSI Dental Division, (ii) the NextGen Division, (iii) the Hospital Solutions Division (formerly Inpatient Solutions) and (iv) the RCM Services Division (formerly Practice Solutions). In fiscal year 2011, we opened a captive entity in India called Quality Systems India Healthcare Private Limited (“QSIH”). We primarily derive revenue by developing and marketing healthcare information systems that automate certain aspects of medical and dental practices, networks of practices such as physician hospital organizations (“PHOs”) and management service organizations (“MSOs”), ambulatory care centers, community health centers and medical and dental schools along with comprehensive systems implementation, maintenance and support and add on complementary services such as revenue cycle management (“RCM”) and electronic data interchange (“EDI”). Our systems and services provide our clients with the ability to redesign patient care and other workflow processes while improving productivity through the facilitation of managed access to patient information. Utilizing our proprietary software in combination with third-party hardware and software solutions, our products enable the integration of a variety of administrative and clinical information operations.
The turbulence in the worldwide economy has impacted almost all industries. While healthcare is not immune to economic cycles, we believe it is more heavily influenced by US-based regulatory and national health projects than by the economic cycles of our economy. The impact of the current economic conditions on our existing and prospective clients has been mixed. While we continue to see organizations that are doing fairly well operationally, some organizations, especially those with a large dependency on Medicaid populations, have been impacted by the challenging financial conditions faced by many state governments. Various factors have had, and are anticipated to continue to have, a meaningful impact on the U.S. healthcare industry, including the Obama Administration's broad healthcare reform efforts (particularly the HITECH portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), the individual state responses to the government-requested Medicaid expansion to address new insureds, and the increasing focus of private businesses on moving their employee health benefit offerings to a more wellness-based health platform.
Our strategy is to focus on providing software and services to the medical and dental communities, both in the ambulatory and inpatient settings. The key elements of this strategy are to continue development and enhancement of our software solutions to support healthcare reform and the transition from fee for service to pay for performance/quality initiatives such as accountable care organizations. We also want to continue to bring further integration between our ambulatory and inpatient products, to continue investments in our infrastructure including but not limited to product development, sales, marketing, implementation and support, to continue efforts to make infrastructure investments within an overall context of maintaining reasonable expense discipline, to add new clients through maintaining and expanding sales, marketing and product development activities and to expand our relationship with existing clients through delivery of add-on and complementary products and services while continuing our gold-standard commitment of service in support of our client satisfaction programs. We believe that our growing customer base that is using our software on a daily basis is a strategic asset, and we intend to expand our product and service offerings towards this customer base in order to leverage this strategic asset.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial statements and results of operations is based upon 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 consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates (including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, uncollectible accounts receivable, software development cost, intangible assets and self-insurance accruals) for reasonableness. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes 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 may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting policies and estimates since the end of fiscal year 2012.
Company Overview
Quality Systems, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1974. Our principal offices are located at 18111 Von Karman Ave., Suite 700, Irvine, California, 92612. We operate on a fiscal year ending on March 31.
The Company was founded with an early focus on providing information systems to dental group practices. This focus area would later become the QSI Dental Division. In the mid-1980's, we capitalized on the increasing focus on medical cost containment and further expanded our information processing systems to serve the medical market. In the mid-1990's, we made two acquisitions that accelerated our penetration of the medical market and formed the basis for the NextGen Division. Today, we serve the dental markets through our QSI Dental Division, physician practice, inpatient and RCM services through NextGen Division, Hospital Solutions Division and RCM Services Division.
The Divisions operate largely as stand-alone operations, with each Division maintaining its own distinct product lines, product platforms, development, implementation and support teams and branding. However, there are a growing number of customers who are simultaneously utilizing software or services from more than one of our Divisions. In an effort to encourage this cross selling of our products and services between Divisions, we are in the process of further integrating our ambulatory and inpatient products to provide a more robust and comprehensive platform to offer our customers. The Divisions also share the resources of our “corporate office,” which includes a variety of accounting and other administrative functions.
The QSI Dental Division and NextGen Division develop and market practice management software that is designed to automate and streamline a number of the administrative functions required for operating a medical or dental practice, such as patient scheduling and billing. It is important to note that since in both the medical and dental environments, practice management software systems have already been implemented by the vast majority of practices, we actively compete for the replacement market. The QSI Dental Division and NextGen Division also develop and market software that automates patient records in physician practices, community health centers (CHC's) and hospital settings. In this patient records area of our business, we are typically competing to replace paper-based patient record alternatives as opposed to replacing previously purchased systems. The Hospital Solutions Division develops and markets an equivalent practice management software product, which performs administrative functions required for operating a small hospital as well as physician documentation and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) charting.
In January 2011, QSIH was formed in Bangalore, India to function as our India-based captive to offshore technology application development and business processing services.
We continue to pursue product and service enhancement initiatives within each of our Divisions. The majority of such expenditures are currently targeted to the NextGen Division product line and client base.

QSI Dental Division. The QSI Dental Division, co-located with our corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, focuses on developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental organizations located throughout the United States. In addition, the QSI Dental Division supports a growing number of dental organizations using its Software as a Service (“SaaS”) model-based financial and clinical software, as well as a number of medical clients that use the QSI Dental Division's UNIX®-based legacy medical practice management software product. This SaaS software, formerly called NextDDS™, has undergone a name change and is now “QSIDental™ Web”. The name change was undertaken to give the product stronger identification in the marketplace as a web-based solution.
In July 2009, we licensed source code that allows us to deliver hosted, Web-based SaaS model practice management and clinical software solutions to the dental industry. This software solution, QSIDental Web, is being marketed primarily to the multi-location dental group practice market in which the QSI Dental Division has historically been a dominant player. QSIDental Web moves the QSI Dental Division to the forefront of the emergence of Internet-based applications and cloud computing and represents a significant growth opportunity for the Division to sell to both its existing client base and new clients.
The QSI Dental Division participates jointly with the NextGen Division in providing software and services to safety-net clinics like Federally Qualified Health Centers (“FQHC”) and other “safety net” health centers, including Public Health Centers, Community Health Centers, Free Clinics, as well as Rural and Tribal Health Centers. FQHCs are community-based organizations and are funded by the federal government, which provide medical and dental services to underprivileged and underserved communities. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in March 2010, reserved $11 billion over a multi-year period for FQHCs, creating unprecedented opportunities for FQHCs growth and the formation of new FQHCs. When combined and used in tandem, NextGen Ambulatory EHR, NextGen Electronic Dental Record and NextGen Practice Management provides a unique product in this marketplace - an integrated patient record accessible by both physicians and dentists.
The QSI Dental Division's legacy practice management software suite uses a UNIX® operating system. It's Clinical Product Suite (“CPS”) can be fully integrated with the client server-based practice management software offered from each of our Divisions. When integrated and delivered with the NextGen Healthcare practice management solution, CPS is re-branded as NextGen EDR (Electronic Dental Record). CPS/EDR incorporates a wide range of clinical tools including, but not limited to, periodontal charting and digital imaging of X-ray and inter-oral camera images as part of the electronic patient record. The QSI Dental Division also develops, markets, and provides EDI services to dental practices, including electronic submission of claims to insurance providers as well as automated patient statements.
NextGen Division. The NextGen Division, with headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania and a significant location in Atlanta, Georgia, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for ambulatory and dental provider organizations. The NextGen Division's major product categories include the NextGen Ambulatory product suite and NextGen Community Connectivity.
The NextGen Ambulatory product suite streamlines patient care with standardized, real-time clinical and administrative workflows within a physician’s practice, and major product categories include NextGen Electronic Health Records (“NextGenehr”), NextGen Practice Management (“NextGenpm”), NextGen Dashboard, NextGen Mobile and NextGen NextPen. NextGen Community Connectivity consists of NextGen Health Information Exchange (“NextGen HIE,” formerly Community Health Solution), NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen Health Quality Measures (“NextGen HQM”). The NextGen Division also offers hosting services, NextGuard – Data Protection services, and consulting services, such as strategic governance models and operational transformation, technical consulting such as data conversions or interface development. The NextGen Division products utilize Microsoft Windows technology and can operate in a client-server environment as well as via private intranet, the Internet, or in an ASP environment. The NextGen Division also provides EDI services, which include electronic submission of claims to insurance providers as well as automated patient statements.
Hospital Solutions Division. The Hospital Solutions Division, with its primary location in Austin, Texas, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for rural and community hospitals. This Hospital Solutions Division also develops and markets an equivalent practice management software product for the small hospital market, which performs the administrative functions required for operating a small hospital.
In the last few years, we have continued to acquire companies that were established developers of software and services for the inpatient market to operate under the Hospital Solutions Division. On May 1, 2012, we acquired The Poseidon Group, Inc. ("Poseidon"), a provider of emergency
department software. On July 26, 2011, we acquired CQI Solutions, Inc. ("CQI"), a provider of hospital systems for surgery management. On April 29, 2011, we acquired IntraNexus, Inc. ("IntraNexus"), a provider of Web-based integrated clinical and hospital information systems. On February 10, 2010, we acquired Opus Healthcare Solutions, LLC ("Opus"), a provider of Web-based clinical solutions to hospital systems and integrated health networks nationwide. On August 12, 2009, we acquired Sphere Health Systems, Inc. ("Sphere"), a provider of financial information systems to the small hospital inpatient market. These acquisitions are part of our strategy to continue to expand in the small hospital market and to add new clients by taking advantage of cross selling opportunities between the ambulatory and inpatient markets.
RCM Services Division. The RCM Services Division, with locations in St. Louis, Missouri and Hunt Valley, Maryland, provides technology solutions and consulting services to cover the full spectrum of healthcare providers' RCM needs, from patient access through claims denials, with a primary focus on billing and collection services. The RCM Services Division combines a Web-delivered SaaS model and the NextGenpm software platform to execute its service offerings. Execution of the plan to transition our client base onto the NextGen platform is being implemented. On April 15, 2012, we acquired Matrix Management Solutions, LLC (“Matrix”). Since 1998, North Canton, Ohio-based Matrix, a value-added reseller for NextGen Healthcare, has provided RCM services, healthcare IT solutions and training, implementation and support centered on NextGen® technology, to its clients nationwide. The acquisition will enable our RCM Services Division to expand its footprint among private and hospital-based physicians and groups by leveraging Matrix's RCM expertise.
Overview of Our Results
| |
• | Consolidated revenue increased 12.7% and income from operations decreased 20.8% in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period. Revenue was positively impacted by growth in implementation sales as well as service revenue, which grew 78.0% and 21.0%, respectively. |
| |
• | Consolidated operating income was negatively impacted by: (a) a change in the mix of revenue towards lower margin service revenue, (b) higher selling, general and administrative expenses, which was primarily a result of increased headcount and selling-related expenses at the NextGen Division and (c) higher corporate-related expenses. |
| |
• | We have benefited and hope to continue to benefit from the increased demands on healthcare providers for greater efficiency and lower costs, financial incentives from the ARRA to physicians who adopt electronic health records, as well as increased adoption rates for electronic health records and other technology in the healthcare arena. We also believe that healthcare reform and the movement towards pay for performance/quality initiatives will also stimulate demand for robust enterprise electronic health record software as well. |
| |
• | While we expect to benefit from the increasing demands for greater efficiency as well as government support for increased adoption of electronic health records, the current economic environment, the increased adoption rates already achieved by large practices, combined with unpredictability of the federal government's plans to promote increased adoption of electronic medical records, makes the near term achievement of such benefits and, ultimately, their impact on system sales, uncertain. |
| |
• | The consolidation of healthcare providers by hospitals, payers, and large physician groups is creating both competitive threats as well as opportunities for our products. Hospital software providers are leveraging their position with their hospital customers to gain market share with hospital owned physician practices. Insurance providers and large physician groups are also consolidating physician offices creating additional opportunity for ambulatory software providers such as NextGen. |
QSI Dental Division
| |
• | QSI Dental Division revenue increased 2.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2012 and divisional operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) decreased 39.5% as compared to the same prior year period. The decline in operating income is the result of a decrease in system sales and higher selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period. It should be noted that the QSI Dental Division's new software solution (“QSIDental™ Web”) is being sold as a SaaS solution which spreads revenue over a longer period of time rather than being recognized upfront. Revenue recognized from QSIDental Web was not significant in the six months ended September 30, 2012. |
| |
• | The QSI Dental Division is well-positioned to sell to the FQHCs market and intends to continue leveraging the NextGen Division's sales force to sell its dental electronic medical records software to practices that provide both medical and dental services, such as FQHCs, which are receiving grants as part of the ARRA. |
| |
• | Our goal for the QSI Dental Division is to maximize profit performance given the constraints represented by a relatively weak purchasing environment in the dental group practice market while taking advantage of opportunities with the new QSIDental™ Web product. |
NextGen Division
| |
• | NextGen Division revenue increased 10.5% in the six months ended September 30, 2012 and divisional operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) decreased 1.4% as compared to the same prior year period. NextGen revenue was positively impacted by growth in implementation and service revenue which grew 84.0% and 20.2%, respectively. |
| |
• | Recurring revenue, which consists primarily of maintenance and EDI revenue, increased 16.6% to $90.7 million and accounted for 52.3% of total NextGen Division revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012. In the same period a year ago, recurring revenue of $77.8 million represented 50.0% of total NextGen Division revenue. |
| |
• | During the six months ended September 30, 2012, we added staffing resources in anticipation of growth from the ARRA and the future of healthcare reform and accountable care organizations. Our goals include taking maximum advantage of benefits related to the ARRA and continuing to further enhance our existing products, including continued efforts to maintain our status as a qualified vendor under the ARRA, integrating our inpatient and ambulatory software products, further development and enhancements of our portfolio of specialty focused templates within our EHR software, developing new products for targeted markets, continuing to add new clients, selling additional software and services to existing clients, expanding penetration of connectivity and other services to new and existing clients, and capitalizing on growth and cross selling opportunities within the RCM Services Division and the Hospital Solutions Division. |
| |
• | The NextGen Division's growth is attributed to a strong brand name and reputation within a growing marketplace for electronic health records and investments in sales and marketing activities, including new marketing campaigns, trade show attendance and other expanded advertising and marketing expenditures. We have also benefited from winning numerous industry awards for the NextGen Division's flagship NextGenehr and NextGenpm software products and more recently in 2010 for its NextGen HIE product. Further, the increasing acceptance of electronic records technology in the healthcare industry continues to provide growth opportunities. |
Hospital Solutions Division
| |
• | Hospital Solutions Division revenue increased 24.1% in the six months ended September 30, 2012. Divisional operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) decreased 78.6% to $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $5.5 million for the same prior year period. However, revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was negatively impacted by the termination of maintenance by a large customer and an increase in reserves related to certain customer implementation issues. |
| |
• | Operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was negatively impacted by increases in implementation costs. In addition, operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 6.1% of revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2012 versus 35.0% of revenue in the same prior year period primarily as a result of lower gross profit margin due to a change in revenue mix towards lower margin service revenue, as well as a $2.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the period. |
| |
• | Our acquisition of Poseidon in May 2012 did not significantly impact the Hospital Solutions Division results for the period. |
| |
• | The Hospital Solutions Division has benefited from being able to offer both financial and CCHIT® certified clinical software, which has been packaged together. The Hospital Solutions Division has also benefited from cross sell opportunities with existing NextGen Division customers, including hospitals that are owned or affiliated with physician offices. |
| |
• | We intend to continue to invest in implementation and training, support, and development to support our growing customer base. |
RCM Services Division
| |
• | RCM Services Division revenue increased 23.3% in the six months ended September 30, 2012. Divisional operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) increased 16.0% to $3.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $3.1 million for the same prior year period. Our acquisition of Matrix in April 2012 added approximately $5.8 million in revenue for the current period. |
| |
• | The RCM Services Division benefited from organic growth achieved through cross selling RCM services to existing NextGen Division clients and well as new clients added during the six months ended September 30, 2012. The division also benefited from the cross sale of software and services to its existing customers. Systems sales to existing RCM Services customers are credited to the division. |
| |
• | The Company believes that a significant opportunity exists to cross sell revenue cycle management services to existing NextGen ambulatory customers. The portion of existing NextGen Division customers who are using the RCM Services Division's RCM services is less than 15%. There is also a significant opportunity to expand the RCM Services Division's services into the Hospital Solution Division's customers as well. Management is actively pursuing efforts to achieve faster growth from expanded efforts to leverage the existing NextGen Division's sales force towards selling revenue cycle management services. |
| |
• | Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 11.5% of revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2012 versus 12.3% of revenue in the same prior year period primarily as a result of a drop in system sales to RCM customers compared to the prior year period, as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses during the current period. |

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011
Net Income. Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $15.7 million, or $0.26 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $20.5 million, or $0.35 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The change in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributed to the following:
| |
• | an increase in recurring revenue based gross profit, including maintenance, RCM and EDI which grew 8.8%, 46.4% and 46.1%, respectively, compared to the prior year period; offset by |
| |
• | an decrease in implementation services gross profit of 1.6% compared to the prior year period; |
| |
• | a 34.6% decrease in consolidated software, hardware and supplies gross profit as a result of reduced software revenue; and |
| |
• | an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles. |
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 7.9% to $116.1 million from $107.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. NextGen Division revenue increased 5.9% to $87.3 million from $82.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, QSI Dental Division revenue increased 7.4% to $4.8 million from $4.5 million, RCM Services Division revenue
increased 29.6% to $15.8 million from $12.2 million, and Hospital Solutions Division revenue decreased 3.3% during that same period to $8.2 million from $8.5 million.
System Sales. Revenue earned from our company-wide sales of systems for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 15.0% to $32.3 million from $38.0 million in the same prior year period.
Our decrease in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of a 17.1% decrease in revenue at our NextGen Division, which decreased $5.6 million to $27.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $32.6 million during the same prior year period. The decrease was driven by a decrease in software revenue, partially offset by an increase in implementation and training services revenue. Our decline in software revenue was related to a number of factors including higher adoption rates by large physician groups which results in a smaller number of new opportunities, the consolidation of physician offices by hospitals and other large enterprises thereby reducing the number of potential opportunities, and an extension to the deadline to adopt stage two meaningful use requirements until calendar 2014.
We believe there are other trends which may positively impact future systems sales. Many of our existing large enterprise customers have plans to grow which will drive future revenue opportunities as these customers purchase additional software and services to support their growth plans. We also expect to benefit from the growth of a replacement market driven by an expected consolidation of EHR vendors. Finally, we believe many new opportunities will be created by the evolution of healthcare from a pay for services reimbursement model to a pay for performance model around the management of patient populations. We are developing new products around these new opportunities which are expected to help drive future growth. It is difficult to assess the relative impact as well as the timing of positive and negative trends, however, we believe the long term opportunities for the Company are significant.

NextGen Division software license revenue decreased 30.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus the same period last year. The NextGen Division’s software revenue accounted for 69.7% of divisional system sales revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 82.9% during the same period a year ago. Software license revenue continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, 6.5% of the NextGen Division’s system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third-party software compared to 3.0% during same period a year ago. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software revenue fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of clients. The inclusion of hardware and third-party software in the NextGen Division’s sales arrangements is typically at the request of our clients.
Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the NextGen Division increased 40.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same prior year period. Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the Hospital Solutions Division increased 31.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period. The amount of implementation and training services revenue is dependent on several factors, including timing of client implementations, the availability of qualified staff and the mix of services being rendered. The number of implementation and training staff increased during the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus the same prior year period in order to accommodate the increased amount of implementation services sold in conjunction with software sales. We have experienced a decline in the level of systems sales in recent quarters which in turn have resulted in a decline in the amount of implementation services sold compared to prior periods, specifically in the ambulatory business unit. We intend to address the fluctuation in demand for services by managing the use of third parties for implementation services. We have historically relied on third parties for a portion of our implementations in order to manage customer requirements.
Maintenance, EDI, RCM and Other Services. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services grew 20.4% to $83.9 million from $69.7 million in the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to an increase in maintenance, EDI and other services revenue from the NextGen Division and RCM revenue from the RCM Services Division.
Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 grew 11.5% to $33.1 million from $29.7 million for the same prior year period while NextGen Division EDI revenue grew 26.9% to $13.7 million compared to $10.8 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue for the NextGen Division, which consists primarily of third-party annual software license renewals, consulting services, SaaS fees and hosting services, increased 43.5% to $13.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $9.4 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue benefited from a strong increase in consulting revenue to existing NextGen Division customers.
QSI Dental Division maintenance, EDI and other services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, RCM revenue for the RCM Services Division increased to $14.5 million compared to $11.1 million in the same prior year period. RCM revenue was positively impacted by the acquisition of Matrix which contributed $3.2 million in the current period. For the Hospital Solutions Division, maintenance and other services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 1.9% as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to an increase in other services revenue.

Maintenance revenue for the NextGen Division increased by $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period. The growth in maintenance revenue is primarily a result of increases related to net additional licenses from new clients and existing clients, as well as a price increase that became effective during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
The NextGen Division’s EDI revenue growth has come from new clients and from further penetration of the division’s existing client base while the growth in RCM revenue is primarily attributable to the Matrix acquisition. We intend to continue to promote maintenance, EDI and RCM services to both new and existing clients. Growth in other services revenue is primarily due to increases in third-party annual software licenses, consulting services, SaaS fees and hosting services revenue.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 28.7% to $46.4 million from $36.0 million in the same prior year period and the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 39.9% from 33.5% driven primarily by a higher percentage of lower margin revenue streams such as implementation and RCM services as well as slight cost increases across all revenue categories.

Gross profit margins at the QSI Dental Division for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 45.9% from 53.4% for the same prior year period. Gross profit margins at the NextGen Division for three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 68.1% compared to 73.0% for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased software sales. Gross margin in the Hospital Solutions Division decreased to 48.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 72.1% for the same prior year period due to growth in implementation and training revenue which carries lower profit margins compared to software. Implementation and training revenue in the Hospital Solutions Division represented approximately 19.6% of total Hospital Solutions Division revenue compared to 14.4% in the year ago period. Gross margin in the RCM Services Division increased to 30.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 28.1% for the same prior year period due to increased software sales, partially offset by an increase in RCM revenue which carries lower profit margins.
The following table details the individual components of cost of revenue and gross profit as a percentage of total revenue on a consolidated and divisional basis for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, hardware and third-party software constituted a higher portion of cost of revenue compared to the same prior year period in the NextGen Division. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software purchased fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of our clients.
Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services increased to 17.6% of consolidated revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 16.3% during the same period last year. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $17.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $20.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of 16.7%, or approximately $2.9 million. Of the $2.9 million increase, approximately $1.4 million of the increase is related to the RCM Services Division as RCM is a service business, which inherently has higher percentage of payroll costs as a percentage of revenue. Increases of approximately $0.8 million in the NextGen Division and $0.8 million for the Hospital Solutions Division are primarily due to headcount additions and increased payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services. Payroll and benefit expenses related to the QSI Dental Division remained consistent period over period. The amount of share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Other cost of revenue, which primarily consists of third-party annual license, hosting costs and outsourcing costs, increased to 13.0% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 9.3% for the same period a year ago. Other expenses increased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to a lower percentage of revenue from software licenses which do not carry a significant amount of other expenses.
As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit percentage decreased to 60.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus 66.5% for the same prior year period.
We anticipate continued additions to headcount in all of our divisions in areas related to delivering products and services in future periods, but due to the uncertainties in the timing of our sales arrangements, our sales mix, the acquisition and training of qualified personnel and other issues, we cannot accurately predict if related headcount expense as a percentage of revenue will increase or decrease in the future.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased 17.6% to $37.8 million as compared to $32.2 million for the same prior year period. The increase in these expenses resulted primarily from:
| |
• | $1.6 million increase in salaries and related benefit expenses primarily as a result of headcount additions; |
| |
• | $0.4 million increase in support services, depreciation and maintenance fees related to the April 1, 2012 go-live of our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system; |
| |
• | $0.8 million of acquisition related expenses, including fair value adjustments; |
| |
• | $1.0 million of proxy contest related expenses; and |
| |
• | $1.8 million net increase in other selling and administrative expenses. |
Share-based compensation expense was approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 29.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 32.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2012.
We do not anticipate significant increases in expenditures for trade shows, advertising and the employment of additional sales and administrative staff at the NextGen Division until additional revenue growth is achieved. We anticipate future increases in corporate expenditures being made in a wide range of areas including professional services and continued investment in our ERP system. While we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase on an absolute basis, we cannot accurately predict the impact these additional expenditures will have on selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $6.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to the achievement of technological feasibility for one of our major projects intended to bring greater integration between our ambulatory and inpatient software products and solutions, therefore allowing us to begin to capitalize costs related to this project in the current period. We also continue to invest significantly in enhancements to our specialty template development, preparation for ICD10 requirements, new products including NextGen Mobile, NextGen NextPen, NextGen Community Connectivity consisting of NextGen Health Information Exchange (“NextGen HIE,” formerly Community Health Solution), NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen Health Quality Measures (“NextGen HQM”), and other enhancements to our existing products. Additions to capitalized software costs offset increases in research and development costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our additions to capitalized software were $9.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, as we continue to enhance our software to meet the Meaningful Use definitions under the ARRA as well as further integrate both ambulatory and inpatient products. The $9.8 million in capitalized software added in the current quarter included $3.0 million paid for the source code of a pharmacy system which supports Hospital Division customers as well as stepped up investments in the hospital business unit. Research and development costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 6.8% for the same prior year period. We intend to continue to invest heavily in research and development as we develop a new integrated inpatient and outpatient, web-based software platform as well as continue to bring additional functionality and features to the medical community. Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization included in operating expenses related to acquired intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $1.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Interest and Other Income (Expense). Total interest and other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.2 million of income as compared to $0.1 million of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Interest and other income consist primarily of dividends and interest earned on our investments along with foreign currency gains or losses for the period.
Our investment policy is determined by our Board of Directors. We currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including tax exempt and taxable money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Our Board of Directors continues to review alternate uses for our cash including, but not limited to, payment of a special dividend, initiation of a stock buyback program, an expansion of our investment policy to include investments with longer maturities of greater than 90 days, and other items. Additionally, it is possible that we will utilize some or all of our cash to fund acquisitions or other similar business activities. Any or all of these programs could significantly impact our investment income in future periods.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $8.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 36.0% and 34.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased as compared to the same prior year period due to the expiration of the federal research and development income tax credit statute which expired on December 31, 2011 and is therefore not included in the current year provision. In addition, the net benefit from the reduced state effective tax rate offset by decreased benefit from stock based compensation.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011
Net Income. Our net income for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was $31.2 million, or $0.53 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $39.5 million, or $0.67 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The change in net income for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributed to the following:
| |
• | an increase in recurring revenue based gross profit, including maintenance, RCM and EDI which grew 15.1%, 30.0% and 28.2%, respectively, compared to the prior year period; |
| |
• | an increase in implementation services gross profit of 61.0% compared to the prior year period; offset by |
| |
• | a 26.6% decrease in consolidated software, hardware and supplies gross profit as a result of reduced software revenue; and |
| |
• | an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs and amortization of acquired intangibles. |
Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased 12.7% to $234.4 million from $208.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. NextGen Division revenue increased 10.5% to $173.5 million from $157.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2011, QSI Dental Division revenue increased 2.0% to $9.8 million from $9.6 million, RCM Services Division revenue increased 23.3% to $31.6 million from $25.6 million, and Hospital Solutions Division revenue increased 24.1% to $19.5 million from $15.7 million in the same prior year period.
System Sales. Revenue earned from our company-wide sales of systems for the six months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 3.0% to $70.1 million from $72.3 million in the same prior year period.
Our decrease in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of a 5.0% decrease in category revenue at our NextGen Division, partially offset by a 20.6% increase at our Hospital Solutions Division. NextGen Division sales in this category decreased $3.0 million to $57.7 million during the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $60.8 million during the same prior year period while the Hospital Solutions Division delivered a $1.6 million increase in category revenue to $9.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $8.0 million in the same prior year period. The decrease in system sales was driven primarily by lower sales of software to both new and existing clients, partially offset by increased implementation revenue at both the NextGen and Hospital Solutions Divisions.
The following table breaks down our reported system sales into software, hardware, third-party software, supplies and implementation and training services components on a consolidated and divisional basis for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

NextGen Division software license revenue decreased 21.3% in the six months ended September 30, 2012 versus the same period last year. The Division’s software revenue accounted for 68.5% of divisional system sales revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 82.7% during the same period a year ago. Software license revenue continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division. Our decline in software revenue was related to a number of factors including higher adoption rates by large physician groups which resulted in a smaller number of new opportunities, the consolidation of physician offices by hospitals and other large enterprises thereby reducing the number of potential opportunities, and an extension to the deadline to adopt stage two meaningful use requirements until calendar 2014.
We believe there are other trends which may positively impact future systems sales. Many of our existing large enterprise customers have plans to grow which will create future revenue opportunities as these customers purchase additional software and services to support their growth plans. We also expect to benefit from the growth of a replacement market driven by an expected consolidation of EHR vendors. Finally, we believe many new opportunities will be created by the evolution of healthcare from a pay for services reimbursement model to a pay for performance model around the management of patient populations. We are developing new products around these new opportunities which are expected to help drive future growth. It is difficult to assess the relative impact as well as the timing of positive and negative trends, however, we believe the Company is well positioned to support the ever increasing need for healthcare information technology.
During the six months ended September 30, 2012, 5.2% of the NextGen Division’s system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third-party software compared to 3.8% during the same period a year ago. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software revenue fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of clients. The inclusion of hardware and third-party software in the NextGen Division’s sales arrangements is typically at the request of our clients.
Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the NextGen Division increased 84.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same prior year period. Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the Hospital Solutions Division increased 76.3%, in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period. The amount of implementation and training services revenue is dependent on several factors, including timing of client implementations, the availability of qualified staff and the mix of services being rendered. The number of implementation and training staff increased during the six months ended September 30, 2012 versus the same prior year period in order to accommodate the increased amount of implementation services sold in conjunction with software sales. In order to achieve growth in this area, additional staffing increases and additional training facilities are anticipated, though actual future increases in revenue and staff will depend upon the availability of qualified staff, business mix and conditions and our ability to retain current staff members.
Maintenance, EDI, RCM and Other Services. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, our company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services grew 21.0% to $164.3 million from $135.7 million in the same prior year period. The increase is primarily due to an increase in maintenance, EDI and other services revenue from the NextGen and Hospital Solutions Divisions.
Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 grew 15.3% to $64.8 million from $56.2 million for the same prior year period while NextGen Division EDI revenue grew 19.8% to $26.0 million compared to $21.7 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue for the NextGen Division, which consists primarily of third-party annual software license renewals, consulting services, SaaS fees and hosting services, increased 35.5% to $25.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 from $18.5 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue benefited from a strong increase in consulting revenue to existing NextGen Division customers.
QSI Dental Division maintenance, EDI and other services revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $7.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, RCM revenue for the RCM Services Division grew $5.9
million, or 25.5%, to $28.9 million compared to $23.0 million in the same prior year period. RCM revenue was positively impacted by the acquisition of Matrix which contributed $5.8 million in the current year. For the Hospital Solutions Division, maintenance and other services revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased 27.6% as compared to the same prior year period primarily because divisional maintenance revenue increased $1.5 million to $8.2 million from $6.7 million in the same prior year period. Hospital Solutions Division maintenance and other services revenue was positively impacted by new customers as well as contributions by the IntraNexus, CQI and Poseidon acquisitions.

Maintenance revenue for the NextGen Division increased by $8.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period. The growth in maintenance revenue is primarily a result of increases related to net additional licenses from new clients and existing clients as well as a price increase that became effective during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
The NextGen Division’s EDI revenue growth has come from new clients and from further penetration of the division’s existing client base while the growth in RCM revenue is primarily attributable to the Matrix acquisition. We intend to continue to promote maintenance, EDI and RCM services to both new and existing clients. Growth in other services revenue is primarily due to increases in third-party annual software licenses, consulting services, SaaS fees and hosting services revenue.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased 33.6% to $94.8 million from $70.9 million in the same prior year period and the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 40.4% from 34.1% driven primarily by a higher percentage of lower margin revenue streams such as implementation and RCM services as well as slight cost increases across all revenue categories.

Gross profit margins at the QSI Dental Division for the six months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 48.5% from 54.6% for the same prior year period. Gross profit margins at the NextGen Division for six months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 67.0% compared to 72.2% for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased software sales. Gross margin in the Hospital Solutions Division decreased to 55.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 74.5% for the same prior year period due to growth in implementation and training revenue which carries lower profit margins compared to software. Gross margin in the RCM Services Division decreased to 29.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 30.1% for the same prior year period due to decreased software sales and an increase in RCM revenue which carries lower profit margins.
The following table details the individual components of cost of revenue and gross profit as a percentage of total revenue on a consolidated and divisional basis for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

During the six months ended September 30, 2012, hardware and third-party software constituted a higher portion of cost of revenue compared to the same prior year period in the NextGen Division. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software purchased fluctuates each quarter depending on the needs of our clients.
Our payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering our products and services increased to 17.2% of consolidated revenue in the six
months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 16.5% during the same period last year. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $34.4 million in the six months ended September 30, 2011 to $40.4 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of 17.6%, or approximately $6.0 million. Of the $6.0 million increase, approximately $2.7 million of the increase is related to the RCM Services Division as RCM is a service business, which inherently has higher percentage of payroll costs as a percentage of revenue. Increases of $1.6 million in the NextGen Division, $1.8 million for the Hospital Solutions Division are primarily due to headcount additions and increased payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services. Payroll and benefit expenses related to the QSI Dental Division remained consistent period over period. The amount of share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was not significant for six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Other cost of revenue, which primarily consists of third-party annual license, hosting costs and outsourcing costs, increased to 14.1% of total revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 9.4% for the same period a year ago. Other expenses increased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to a lower percentage of revenue from software licenses which do not carry a significant amount of other expenses.
As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit percentage decreased to 59.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 versus 65.9% for the same prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased 21.1% to $74.5 million as compared to $61.6 million for the same prior year period. The increase in these expenses resulted primarily from:
| |
• | $5.0 million increase in salaries and related benefit expenses primarily as a result of headcount additions; |
| |
• | $0.8 million increase in support services, depreciation and maintenance fees related to the April 1, 2012 go-live of our ERP system; |
| |
• | $1.1 million of acquisition related expenses, including fair value adjustments |
| |
• | $1.3 million of proxy contest related expenses; and |
| |
• | $4.8 million net increase in other selling and administrative expenses. |
Share-based compensation expense was approximately $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 29.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2011 to 31.8% in the six months ended September 30, 2012.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $14.8 million and $14.2 million, respectively. The slower growth in research and development expenses was primarily due to the achievement of technological feasibility for a major project, allowing us to begin to capitalize costs related to this project in the current period, offset by continued investment in enhancements to our specialty template development, preparation for ICD10 requirements, new products including NextGen Mobile, NextGen NextPen, NextGen Community Connectivity consisting of NextGen Health Information Exchange (“NextGen HIE,” formerly Community Health Solution), NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen Health Quality Measures (“NextGen HQM”), and other enhancements to our existing products. Additions to capitalized software costs offset increases in research and development costs. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our additions to capitalized software were $14.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, as we continue to enhance our software to meet the Meaningful Use definitions under the ARRA as well as further integrate both ambulatory and inpatient products. The $14.1 million in capitalized software added in the six month period ended September 30, 2012 included $3.0 million paid for the source code of a pharmacy system which supports Hospital Division customers as well as stepped up investments in the hospital business unit. Research and development costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.3% in the six months ended September 30, 2012 from 6.8% for the same prior year period. We intend to continue to invest heavily in research and development expenses as we develop a new integrated inpatient and outpatient, web-based software platform as well as continue to bring additional functionality and features to the medical community. Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was not significant for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization included in operating expenses related to acquired intangible assets for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Interest and Other Income (Expense). Total interest and other expense was not significant for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Interest and other income consist primarily of dividends and interest earned on our investments along with foreign currency gains or losses for the period.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $16.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 34.8% and 34.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective rate for the six months ended September 30, 2012 increased as compared to the same prior year period due to the expiration of the federal research and development income tax credit statute which expired on December 31, 2011 and is therefore not included in the current year provision. In addition, there were net benefits from the reduced state effective tax rate offset by net decreased benefit from stock based compensation and other discrete items.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operations has historically been our primary source of cash and has primarily been driven by our net income plus adjustments to add back non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization of intangibles and capitalized software costs, provisions for bad debts and inventory obsolescence, share-based compensation, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and deferred taxes.
The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended September 30, |

| | (9,043 | ) |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 28,656 |
| | $ | 37,110 |
|
Net Income. As referenced in the above table, net income makes up the majority of our cash generated from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Non-Cash Expenses. Non-cash expenses include depreciation, amortization of intangibles and capitalized software costs, provisions for bad debts, share-based compensation, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and deferred taxes. Total non-cash expenses were $16.6 million and $13.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The $3.6 million increase in non-cash expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period is related to increases of approximately $0.8 million in depreciation, $1.0 million of amortization of capitalized software costs, $0.2 million of bad debt expense, $1.8 million of amortization of other intangibles and $0.9 million in fair value adjustments for contingent consideration, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in share-based compensation and a $0.8 million increase in deferred income tax benefit.
Deferred Revenue. Cash from operations was negatively impacted by a decrease in deferred revenues of approximately $15.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 versus an increase of $6.2 million in the same prior year period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company modified its standard payment terms for implementation services sold in conjunction with software to separate license fee payments from services and to bill for services as services are incurred. This change results in implementation service fees not being recorded as both accounts receivable and deferred revenue upon the execution of a contract. In future periods, deferred implementation and training revenue is not expected to increase as fast as prior periods due to this change in standard payment terms.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable grew by approximately $7.7 million and $12.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable is due to the following factors:
| |
• | Consolidated revenue grew 12.7% to $234.4 million compared to $208.1 million in the prior comparable period; |
| |
• | Accounts receivable growth was partially offset by a smaller amount of services sold in advance of being rendered. This is a result of the Company modifying its standard payment terms for implementation services sold in conjunction with software to separate license fee payments from services and instead billing for services as services are incurred. This change results in implementation service fees |
not being recorded as both accounts receivable and deferred revenue upon the execution of a contract; and
| |
• | The turnover of accounts receivable measured in terms of days sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased from 127 days to 119 days during the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared the same prior year period. The decrease in DSO is primarily due to a change in the mix of revenue towards services versus systems sales which generally has a faster turnover of accounts receivable. DSO was also impacted by a smaller amount of services sold in advance as discussed above. |
Provided turnover of accounts receivable, deferred revenue and profitability remain consistent with the 2012 fiscal year, we anticipate being able to continue generating cash from operations during fiscal year 2013 primarily from our net income.
Other Assets and Liabilities. Cash from operations in the six months ended September 30, 2012 was positively impacted by a net $3.9 million increase in other assets and liabilities compared to a net decrease of $9.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the $3.9 million change in other assets and liabilities is primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable of $3.7 million, an increase in other current liabilities of $8.7 million primarily due to the contingent consideration related to the acquisitions in the current period, partially offset by an increase in income tax receivable of $3.5 million, a decrease in accrued compensation of $2.0 million, driven primarily by a reduction in performance-based bonuses and commission accruals, and a $3.0 million net decrease in all other assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $26.1 million and $16.6 million, respectively. The $9.5 million increase in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same prior year period is primarily due to net cash paid for the acquisitions of Matrix and Poseidon of $5.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in addition to increases of $14.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for capitalized software and equipment and improvements. The prior year period cash flows from investing activities included net cash paid for the acquisitions of IntraNexus and CQI of $3.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in addition to increases of $6.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, for capitalized software and equipment and improvements.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $20.0 million and $11.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2012, we received proceeds of $0.8 million from the exercise of stock options and paid $20.7 million in dividends to shareholders compared to proceeds of $6.8 million from the exercise of stock options and payments of $20.4 million in dividends to shareholders during the same prior year period.
We recorded a reduction in our tax benefit from share-based compensation of $2.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2011 related to excess tax deductions received from stock option exercises. The benefit was recorded as additional paid in capital. The tax benefit from share-based compensation was not significant for the six months ended September 30, 2012.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
At September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $117.0 million. We may use a portion of these funds towards future acquisitions although the timing and amount of funds to be used has not been determined. We intend to expend some of these funds for the development of products complementary to our existing product line as well as new versions of certain of our products. These developments are intended to take advantage of more powerful technologies and to increase the integration of our products. We anticipate capital expenditures will increase in fiscal year 2013 and will be funded from cash on hand and cash flows from operations.
In January 2007, our Board of Directors adopted a policy whereby we intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share on our outstanding common stock, subject to further review and approval and the establishment of record and distribution dates by our Board of Directors prior to the declaration of each such quarterly dividend. Our Board of Directors subsequently increased the quarterly dividend to $0.150 per share in August 2008 and to $0.175 per share in January 2011. We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors pursuant to this policy, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each of the months of October, January, April and July.
On October 25, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share on our outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of December 14, 2012 with an expected distribution date on or about January 4, 2013.
Our Board of Directors declared the following dividends during the periods presented (stock split adjusted):

Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2012, together with its marketable securities and cash flows from operations, if any, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements as well as any dividends to be paid in the ordinary course of business for fiscal year 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of new accounting standards.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
There is little to no market risk as we currently maintain our cash in very liquid short term assets including tax exempt and taxable money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2012, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). They have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities and would be disclosed on a timely basis. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. They have also concluded that the our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On April 1, 2012, we went live with a corporate-wide Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system. Our new ERP system will standardize and automate business processes, improve operational and financial performance, and enhance internal controls. The implementation of our new ERP system has resulted in changes to our business processes and internal controls over financial reporting. The key controls surrounding the ERP system are being identified and are subject to our Sarbanes-Oxley testing.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at that reasonable assurance level. However, management can provide no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can prevent all errors and all fraud under all circumstances. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have experienced legal claims by customers regarding product and contract disputes and by other third parties asserting that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously; however, we could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources defending any such claim, even if we are ultimately successful in the defense of such matter. Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. We refer you to the discussion of infringement and litigation risks in our “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report.
