PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate as four business divisions (each, a "Division") 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 and allow healthcare provider organizations the ability to manage patient populations across various care settings. Our scalable interoperability and population health offerings help to improve care collaboration, quality and safety. Enabled by our interoperability solutions, data-driven patient population healthcare management decisions assist in creating more desirable operation, clinical, and financial outcomes that substantiate the value of patient-centered and accountable care models.

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.

Our 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-1980s, we capitalized on the increasing focus on medical cost containment and further expanded our information processing systems to serve the ambulatory market. In the mid-1990s, we made two acquisitions that accelerated our penetration of the ambulatory market and formed the basis for the NextGen Division. In the last few years, we acquired several companies as part of our strategy to enhance our EDI and RCM services capabilities as well as expand into the small and specialty hospital market. More recently, we acquired Mirth Corporation ("Mirth"), which operates under the NextGen Division, and is expected to enhance our current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broaden our accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. Today, we serve the dental, ambulatory, hospital and RCM services markets through our QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division, Hospital Solutions Division and RCM Services Division.

The Divisions have historically operated 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 hospital 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.

In September 2012, we announced certain organizational changes to achieve greater efficiency and integration in our operations as well as to enhance our ability to cross sell products and services to our customers. The changes consolidated Sales, Marketing, Information Technology, and Software Development responsibilities into separate Company-wide roles. We also announced the hiring of a Chief Operating Officer, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer responsible for the operations of the Company across all Divisions. We are continuing to evaluate the organizational structure of the Company with the objective to achieve greater synergies and further integration of our products and services, including software implementation and customer support functions.

The QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division and Hospital Solutions Division develop and market software that is designed to automate and streamline a number of the administrative functions required for operating a medical, dental, or hospital 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 in a replacement market by leveraging the benefits of our fully integrated electronic health records software. With the addition of Mirth, our combined solutions enrich the already strong collaborative, connected care support and set the stage for data synchronization, interoperability growth, and expansion of our current accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offering. These Divisions also develop and market software that automates patient records in physician practices, community health centers 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 financial management and billing software products, which perform administrative functions required for operating small and specialty hospitals as well as clinical offerings such as multi-disciplinary clinical documentation and computerized physician order entry. The RCM Services Division provides technology solutions and outsourcing services to cover the full spectrum of healthcare providers' RCM needs, with a primary focus on outsourced billing and collection services.

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.Our employee base in Bangalore has since grown to over 250 employees with a primary focus on software development activities.

We continue to pursue product and service enhancement initiatives within each of our Divisions. The majority of such expenditures are currently targeted to the product lines and client base of the NextGen Division.

The following table breaks down our reported segment revenue and segment revenue growth by Division for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

	Segment Revenue Breakdown Fiscal Year Ended March 31,						Segment Revenue Growth (Decline) Fiscal Year Ended March 31,

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 group organizations located throughout the United States. The QSI Dental Division sells additional licenses to its legacy products as existing clients expand their operations, and sells its cloud-based Software as a Service ("SaaS") model practice management and clinical software solutions to new and existing customers. This software solution, QSIDental Web ("QDW"), is marketed primarily to multi-location dental group practices in which the QSI Dental Division has historically been a dominant player. QDW offers a lower cost of ownership as it is a cloud-based solution that requires a customer to have Internet access to run the application. Further, QSI Dental sells its Electronic Dental Chart in conjunction with NextGen® PM ("Practice Management") and EHR ("Electronic Health Record") and is marketed as NextGen® EDR (“Electronic Dental Record”) to Federally Qualified Health Centers (“FQHC”) and other safety net entities further defined below.

The QSI Dental Division participates jointly with the NextGen Division in providing software and services to safety-net clinics like FQHCs 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® EHR, NextGen® EDR and NextGen® PM provide a unique product in this marketplace—an integrated patient record accessible by both physicians and dentists. On May 3, 2013, NextGen® EDR version 4.3 was ONC-ATCB certified by the Certification Commission for Health Information ("CCHIT®") as a complete EHR and complies with all clinical quality measures for Eligible Providers. The additional software NextGen® EDR version 4.3 relied on to demonstrate compliance was NextGen® EHR version 5.8.

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® PM solution, CPS is re-branded as NextGen® EDR. 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.

On November 14, 2011, we acquired ViaTrack, a developer and provider of information technologies that enhance EDI offerings. This acquisition provides a platform to pursue significant opportunities that exist to leverage ViaTrack's technologies to reduce costs and enhance our EDI offerings to all divisions.

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® EHR, NextGen® PM, 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.

On September 9, 2013, we acquired Mirth, a global leader in health information technology that helps clients achieve interoperability. Operating results associated with Mirth products and services are included in the NextGen Division. The acquisition of Mirth will enhance our current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broaden our accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. Mirth offers a wide variety of products and services utilized by both users of Mirth open code technology as well as a large base of domestic and international paying customers. Product offerings available from Mirth include Mirth Connect, Mirth Results, Mirth Match, Mirth Mail, Mirth Appliance, Mirth Care, and Mirth Gateway. As a direct result of the Mirth acquisition, we introduced NextGen® Share to our customer base in November 2013. As our first offering that integrates technologies from both NextGen Healthcare and Mirth, NextGen® Share provides the ability to securely and easily share patient charts and other data with other practices using NextGen Internet based software.

Hospital Solutions Division. The Hospital Solutions Division, with its primary location in Austin, Texas, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for rural, community and specialty hospitals. This Hospital Solutions Division also develops and markets an equivalent revenue cycle management and clinical information systems software products for the small and specialty hospital market, which perform the administrative functions required for operating hospitals.

In the last few years, we acquired companies that were established developers of software and services for the hospital market to operate under the Hospital Solutions Division. On May 1, 2012, we acquired The Poseidon Group ("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 and 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 long term strategy to continue to expand in the small and specialty hospital market and to add new clients by taking advantage of cross selling opportunities between the ambulatory and hospital markets.

RCM Services Division. The RCM Services Division, with locations in St. Louis, Missouri, North Canton, Ohio, South Jordan, Utah 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 NextGen PM 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 information technology solutions and training, implementation and support centered on NextGen technology, to its clients nationwide. The acquisition has enabled our RCM Services Division to expand its footprint among private and hospital-based physicians and groups by leveraging Matrix's RCM expertise.

Industry Background

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 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 ("ARRA") and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), the mandate requiring individuals to obtain insurance, the individual state responses to the government-requested Medicaid expansion, the creation and operation of insurance exchanges, and the increasing focus of private businesses on moving their employee health benefit offerings to a more wellness-based health platform.

Moreover, to compete in the continually changing healthcare environment, providers are increasingly using technology to help maximize the efficiency of their business practices, to assist in enhancing patient care, and to maintain the privacy of patient information.

As the reimbursement environment continues to evolve, more healthcare providers enter into contracts, often with multiple entities, which define the terms under which care is administered and paid. The diversity of payer organizations, as well as additional government regulation and changes in reimbursement models, have greatly increased the complexity of pricing, billing, reimbursement and records management for

5

medical and dental practices. To operate effectively, healthcare provider organizations must efficiently manage patient care and other information and workflow processes, which increasingly extend across multiple locations, disparate systems, and business entities.

In response, healthcare provider organizations have placed increasing demands on their information systems. The initial healthcare information systems were designed for limited administrative tasks such as billing and scheduling and could neither accommodate multiple computing environments nor operate effectively across multiple locations and entities. As it became necessary to manage patient flow processes, the need arose to integrate “back-office” data with such clinical information as patient test results and office visits. We believe information systems must facilitate management of patient information incorporating administrative, financial and clinical information from multiple entities, and that the practices that are able to leverage technology to more efficiently handle such data will be best able to enhance patient flow, pursue cost efficiencies and improve quality of care. As healthcare organizations transition to new computer platforms and newer technologies, we believe such organizations will be migrating toward the implementation of enterprise-wide, patient-centric computing systems embedded with automated clinical patient records.

Our Strategy

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 market for physician based electronic health records software is becoming increasingly saturated while physician group practices are rapidly being consolidated by hospital, insurance payers and other entities. 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. Our strategy is to focus addressing upcoming needs of accountable care organizations around interoperability, patient engagements, population health, and data analytics.

In September 2013, we acquired Mirth, an industry leader within the health information exchange (“HIE") market with technologies and services delivering vendor agnostic interoperability capability to the healthcare community. This acquisition also provides expanded capabilities around population health management and data analytics, which we believe will be pivotal in our continual enhancement of our existing products as well as the development of new product and service offerings for accountable care organizations.

We believe that our core strength lies in the central role our software products and services play in the delivery of healthcare by the primary physician in an ambulatory setting. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements including ICD-10 and meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments. We believe that the expanded requirements for continued eligibility for incentive payments under meaningful use rules will result in an expanded replacement market for electronic health records software. We intend to continue the 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. Key elements of our future software development will be to expand our interoperability capabilities enhancing the competitiveness of our software offerings, continue to integrate our ambulatory and hospital products, make our products more intuitive and easy to use, and to enhance our ability to deliver our software over the cloud with the latest technology.

We also want to continue investments in our infrastructure, including but not limited to adding new clients through maintaining and expanding sales, marketing and product development activities and expanding 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. These investments in our infrastructure will continue while maintaining reasonable expense discipline. We believe that our growing customer base that is using our software on a daily basis is a strategic asset, and we intend to leverage this strategic asset by expanding our product and service offerings towards this customer base.

Products and Services

In response to the growing need for more comprehensive, cost-effective healthcare information solutions for medical practices, dental practices, hospitals, health centers and other healthcare providers, our systems and services provide our clients with the ability to redesign patient care and other workflow processes while improving care quality and productivity through 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 clinical and financial operations. Leveraging more than 30 years of experience in the healthcare information services industry, we believe we continue to add value by providing our clients with sophisticated, full-featured software systems along with comprehensive systems implementation, training, consultation, revenue cycle management, maintenance and support services.

Our products consist primarily of proprietary healthcare software applications together with third party hardware and other non-industry specific software. The systems range in capacity from one to thousands of users, allowing us to address the needs of both small and large organizations. The systems are modular in design and may be expanded to accommodate changing client requirements. We offer both standard licenses and Software as a Service ("SaaS") arrangements in our software offerings; although to date, SaaS arrangements do not represent a significant portion of our arrangements.

Dental Solutions

QSI Dental Division Practice Management and Clinical Systems. In fiscal year 2010, we began selling hosted SaaS practice management and clinical software solutions to the dental industry. This software solution is marketed primarily to the multi-location dental group practice market for which the Division remains a dominant player. This software solution, formerly called NextDDS and now named QSIDental Web to better identify it as a cloud-based solution, 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 us to sell to both our existing client base and new clients.

In addition to the SaaS clinical offering, our dental charting software system, known as the Clinical Product Suite (CPS), provides a comprehensive solution designed specifically for the dental group practice environment. CPS integrates our dental practice management

6

product with a computer-based clinical information system that incorporates a wide range of clinical tools, including electronic charting of dental procedures, treatment planning, existing conditions, voice-activation or keyboard entry for full periodontal examinations and PSR scoring. In addition, digital imaging of X-ray and intra-oral camera images, computer-based patient education modules are viewable chair-side to enhance case presentation, full access to patient information, treatment plans and insurance plans via a fully integrated interface with our dental practice management product. All of this is supported by document and image scanning for digital storage and linkage to the electronic patient record.

The result is a comprehensive clinical information management system that helps practices save time, reduce costs, improve case presentation and enhance the delivery of dental services and quality of care. Clinical information is managed and maintained electronically, thus forming an electronic patient record that allows for the implementation of the “chartless” office.

CPS incorporates Windows-based client-server technology consisting of one or more file servers and is scalable from one to thousands of workstations. The hardware components, including the requisite operating system licenses, are purchased from third party manufacturers or distributors either directly by the client or by us for resale to the customer.

Ambulatory Solutions

NextGen® Ambulatory Practice Management Systems. NextGen® PM is the NextGen Division’s practice management offering. NextGen® PM has been developed with a functional graphical user interface (“GUI”) certified for use with Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.

It features integrated, multi-modal cascading communication tools including interactive voice response, texting, email, NextGen® Patient Portal, and clinical data from NextGen® Ambulatory EHR. NextGen® PH can be fully integrated with NextGen® Health Quality Measures ("HQM") and has an easy-to-use, built-in population profiler to define protocols for patient outreach using billing data from NextGen® PM and clinical data from NextGen® Ambulatory EHR.

Interoperability and Connectivity

Interoperability connects patients, practices, hospitals, health systems, communities, and payers. Effective interoperability solutions cross over multiple platforms and other systems, both inside and outside of organizations. It connects disparate systems so providers can benefit from controlled, secure data flow, decreased costs, and reduced errors. Interoperability makes all patient encounter data available in the patient record, helping to improve care collaboration, quality, and safety. Combined with the NextGen Healthcare portfolio, Mirth's available solutions enhance our enterprise interoperability initiatives and will broaden our accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offering. Mirth's primary product base includes the following:

Mirth Results. Mirth Results is a clinical data repository that collects, organizes, and aggregates clinical data from many different sources to produce a longitudinal patient record that is easily viewed from a web-based provider portal or access via an open application program interface.

Mirth Match. Mirth Match is an entity identification service, which handles enterprise master patient index, record locator, and identity de-duplication services.

Other Mirth products and solutions include Mirth Mail, Mirth Appliance, Mirth Care, and Mirth Gateway.

NextGen® Share, the first joint offering of NextGen Healthcare and Mirth, is an interoperability solution that helps providers safely and securely send and manage referrals, and accurately exchange clinical content, all without leaving their NextGen® Ambulatory EHR application.

The NextGen Division also markets NextGen® HIE to facilitate cross-enterprise data sharing, enabling individual physician practices in a given community to selectively share critical data, such as demographics, referrals, medications lists, allergies, diagnoses, lab results, histories and more. This is accomplished through a secure, community-wide data repository that links health care providers, whether they have the NextGen® Ambulatory EHR system, another compatible electronic health records system, together with hospitals, payers, labs and other entities. The product is designed to facilitate data exchange within an Integrated Delivery Network ("IDN") or Regional Health Information Organization (“RHIO”). The result is that for every health care encounter in the community, a patient-centric and complete record is accessible for the provider. The availability, accuracy and completeness of information plus the elimination of duplicate data entry can lead to significantly improved patient safety, enhanced decision making capabilities, time efficiencies and cost savings. Our NextGen Division maintains an internet-based patient health portal, NextGen® Patient Portal. NextMD.com is the URL for our vertical portal for the healthcare industry, linking patients with their physicians, while providing a centralized source of health-oriented information for both consumers and medical professionals. Patients whose physicians are linked to the portal are able to request appointments, send appointment changes or cancellations, receive test results on-line, request prescription refills, view and/or pay their statements, and communicate with their physicians, all in a secure, on-line environment. Our NextGen® suite of information systems are or can be linked to NextMD.com, integrating a number of these features with physicians’ existing systems.

Hidden surgical procedure cost drivers can be identified and eliminated. The system also helps ensure compliance with Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) and National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) reporting requirements.

Revenue Cycle Management Services

RCM Services Division partners with private and hospital-based physicians and groups to implement the NextGen® product suite with best practice, customizable RCM services in order to help them optimize revenue, better leverage automation, and help them focus on practicing medicine. RCM services capabilities include:

• Billing and Collections - A robust set of internal controls, best practice methodologies and comprehensive reporting ensures accuracy and addresses the entire revenue cycle: from patient registration and charge capture, to claim submission, payment posting, denial management and accounts receivable resolution.

• Electronic Claims Submission - These services generate HIPAA-compliant insurance transactions to submit client insurance claims electronically to insurance payers nationwide. Automating the electronic claims submission ("ECS") process using the NextGen EPM application is another best practice that reduces costly manual labor. Our solutions support the CMS-1500, UB-04 and ADA Dental Claim Forms and also accommodate proprietary claim formats.

• Electronic Remittance & Payment Posting - These automated services help ensure payments are posted accurately and promptly. Using the NextGen® Document Management, we link an image of each explanation of benefit (“EOB”) to the corresponding encounter at the time of payment posting to minimize the need for storage of paper EOBs. The services also use electronic remittance and digital lockboxes to post payments and capture specific denial information for management and tracking.

• Accounts Receivable Follow-Up - An accounts receivable management methodology designed in cooperation with our clients helps establish joint follow-up parameters, adjustment rules, standards for account elevation, as well as customized follow-up activities. The RCM Services team will work with the client to replace costly manual processes with workflow automation tools and best practices to reduce denials and improve collections.

• Expertise and Support - Our team of experts consists of analysts, billing and coding specialists, auditors, customer service professionals, and account managers - all working for our clients to answer patients' billing questions, monitor RCM performance and trends, provide credentialing assistance and identify opportunities for improvement to optimize collected revenue.

Electronic Data Interchange

We make available EDI capabilities and connectivity services to our clients. The EDI/connectivity capabilities encompass direct interfaces between our products and external third party systems, as well as transaction-based services. EDI products are intended to automate a number of manual, often paper-based or telephony intensive communications between patients and/or providers and/or payers. Two of the more common EDI services are forwarding insurance claims electronically from providers to payers and assisting practices with issuing statements to patients. Most client practices utilize at least some of these services from us or one of our competitors. Other EDI/connectivity services are used more sporadically by client practices. We typically compete to displace incumbent vendors for claims and statements accounts and attempt to increase usage of other elements in our EDI/connectivity product line. In general, EDI services are only sold to those accounts utilizing software from either the QSI Dental or NextGen Divisions. The acquisition of ViaTrack, a developer and provider of information technologies that enhance EDI offerings, has provided us with in house EDI capabilities at lower costs as compared to third party providers. We believe that significant opportunities exist to leverage ViaTrack's technologies to reduce costs and enhance our EDI offerings to all divisions.

Services include:

• Electronic claims submission through our relationships with a number of payers and national claims clearinghouses;

• Electronic patient statement processing, appointment reminder cards and calls, recall cards, patient letters and other correspondence;

• Electronic insurance eligibility verification; and

• Electronic posting of remittances from insurance carriers into the accounts receivable application.

Client Service and Support

We believe our success is attributable in part to our client service and support departments. We offer support to our clients seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Our client support staff is comprised of specialists who are knowledgeable in the areas of software and hardware as well as in the day-to-day operations of a practice or hospital. System support activities range from correcting minor procedural problems in the client’s system to performing complex database reconstructions or software updates.

We utilize automated online support systems which assist clients in resolving minor problems and facilitate automated electronic retrieval of problems and symptoms following a client’s call to the automated support system. Additionally, our online support systems maintain call records, available at both the client’s facility and our offices.

We offer our clients support services for most system components, including hardware and software, for a fixed monthly, quarterly or annual fee. Clients also receive access to future unspecified versions of the software, on a when-available basis, as part of support services.

Implementation and Training

9

We offer full service implementation and training services. When a client signs a contract for the purchase of a system that includes implementation and training services, that client is assigned a client manager and implementation specialist trained in the specifics of the client's business. The implementation team is assigned to assist the client in the installation of the system and the training of appropriate practice staff, and is responsible for ensuring proficiency in the use of the system which ultimately improves the practice's performance and quality of care. Implementation services include loading the software, training client personnel, data conversion, running test data and assisting in the development and documentation of procedures. Implementation and training services are provided by our employees as well as certified third parties and certain resellers.

Training may include a combination of computer assisted instruction (“CAI”) for certain of our products, remote training techniques and training classes conducted at the client’s or our office(s). CAI consists of workbooks, computer interaction and self-paced instruction. CAI is also offered to clients, for an additional charge, after the initial training program is completed for the purpose of training new and additional employees. Remote training allows a trainer at our offices to train one or more people at a client site via telephone and computer connection, thus allowing an interactive and client-specific mode of training without the expense and time required for travel. In addition, our on-line “help” and other documentation features facilitate client training as well as ongoing support.

The Company has relationships with third party implementation providers to supplement the Company's in house implementation resources.

In addition, NextGen® “E-learning” is an on-line learning subscription service which allows end users to train on the software on the internet. E-learning allows end users to self manage their own learning with their personal learning path and pace. The service allows users to track the status of courses taken.

At present, our training facilities are located in (i) Horsham, Pennsylvania, (ii) Atlanta, Georgia, (iii) Costa Mesa, California, and (iv) Irvine, California.

Proprietary Rights

We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect proprietary rights in our products and services. To protect our proprietary rights, we enter into confidentiality agreements and invention assignment agreements with our employees with whom such controls are relevant. In addition, we include intellectual property protective provisions in our client contracts.

We rely on software that we license from third parties for certain components of our products and services. These components enhance our products and services and help meet evolving customer needs. The failure to license any necessary technology, or to maintain our existing licenses, could result in reduced functionality of or reduced demand for our products.

Because the software industry is characterized by rapid technological change, we believe such factors as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition, and reliable product maintenance are more important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position than the various legal protections of our technology.

Although we believe our products and services, and other proprietary rights, do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the future. Any such claims may result in costly, time-consuming litigation and may require us to enter into royalty or cross-license arrangements.

Sales and Marketing

We sell and market our products primarily through a direct sales force and a reseller channel. Software license sales to resellers represented less than 10% of total revenue for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Our direct sales force typically makes presentations to potential clients by demonstrating the system and our capabilities on the prospective client’s premises. Sales efforts aimed at smaller practices can be performed on the prospective clients’ premises, or remotely via telephone or Internet-based presentations. Both the direct and reseller channel sales force is concentrating on more multi-product sales opportunities. These are opportunities where we might sell our ambulatory, hospital, dental and RCM services or some combination thereof to prospective clients.

Our sales and marketing employees identify prospective clients through a variety of means, including referrals from existing clients, industry consultants, contacts at professional society meetings, trade shows and web-based seminars, trade journal advertising, online advertising, direct mail and email advertising and telemarketing. Resources have shifted more heavily to Web-based marketing to take advantage of buyers that now tend to do more Web research before contacting a vendor. In addition, we focus on more thought leadership marketing to highlight our industry knowledge, expertise and the success of our client base.

Our sales cycle can vary significantly and typically ranges from six to twenty-four months from initial contact to contract execution. Software licenses are normally delivered to a client almost immediately upon receipt of an order. Implementation and training services are normally rendered based on a mutually agreed upon timetable. As part of the fees paid by our clients, we normally receive up-front licensing fees. Clients have the option to purchase maintenance services which, if purchased, are invoiced on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

Several clients have purchased our suite of enterprise products and, in turn, are providing either time-share or billing services to single and group practice practitioners. Under the time-share or billing service agreements, the client provides the use of our software for a fee to one or more practitioners. Although we typically do not receive a fee directly from the distributor’s clients, implementation of such arrangements has, from time to time, resulted in the purchase of additional software capacity by the distributor, as well as new software purchases made by the distributor’s customers should such customers decide to perform the practice management functions in-house.

10

We continue to concentrate our direct sales and marketing efforts on medical and dental practices, networks of such practices including IPAs and PHOs, professional schools, community health centers and other ambulatory care settings.

IPAs, PHOs and similar networks to which we have sold systems provide use of our software to those group and single physician practices associated with the organization or hospital on either a service basis or by directing us to contract with those practices for the sale of stand-alone systems.

We have also entered into marketing assistance agreements with certain of our clients pursuant to which the clients allow us to demonstrate to potential clients the use of systems on the existing clients’ premises.

From time to time we assist prospective clients in identifying third party sources for financing the purchase of our systems. The financing is typically obtained by the client directly from institutional lenders and typically takes the form of a loan from the institution secured by the system to be purchased or a leasing arrangement. We do not guarantee the financing nor retain any continuing interest in the transaction.

We have numerous clients and do not believe that the loss of any single client would adversely affect us. No client accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.

Competition

The markets for healthcare information systems and services are intensely competitive. The industry is highly fragmented and includes numerous competitors, none of which we believe dominates these markets. Our principal existing competitors in the healthcare information systems and services market include: Allscripts, athenahealth, Inc., Cerner, Computer Programs and Systems, Inc., eClinicalWorks, Epic Systems Corporation, GE Healthcare, Greenway, Healthcare Management Systems, Inc., Healthland, McKesson, MEDITECH and other competitors.

The electronic patient records and connectivity markets, in particular, are subject to rapid changes in technology, and we expect that competition in these market segments will increase as new competitors enter the market. We believe our principal competitive advantages are the features and capabilities of our products and services, our high level of client support and our extensive experience in the industry.

The RCM market is also intensely competitive as other healthcare information systems companies, such as GE Healthcare, McKesson and Allscripts, are also in the market of selling both practice management and electronic health records software and medical billing and collection services.

Product Enhancement and Development

The healthcare information management and computer software and hardware industries are characterized by rapid technological change requiring us to engage in continuing investments to update, enhance and improve our systems. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, we expended approximately $62.3 million, $60.3 million and $44.5 million, respectively, on research and development activities, including capitalized software amounts of $20.8 million, $29.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. In addition, a portion of our product enhancements have resulted from software development work performed under contracts with our clients.

Employees

As of March 31, 2014, we employed approximately 2,697 persons, of which 2,672 were full-time employees. We believe that our future success depends in part upon recruiting and retaining qualified sales, marketing and technical personnel as well as other employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere and the other information contained in this Report and in our other filings with the SEC, including subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. If any of these known or unknown risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We face significant, evolving competition which, if we fail to properly address, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and price of our stock. The markets for healthcare information systems are intensely competitive, and we face significant competition from a number of different sources. Several of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition and financial,

11

technical, product development and marketing resources than we do. There has been significant merger and acquisition activity among a number of our competitors in recent years. Transaction induced pressures, or other related factors may result in price erosion or other negative market dynamics that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and price of our stock.

We compete in all of our markets with other major healthcare related companies, information management companies, systems integrators and other software developers. Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product introductions by us or our competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our applications will achieve broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other available software products.

Saturation or consolidation in the healthcare industry could result in the loss of existing customers, a reduction in our potential customer base and downward pressure on the prices for our products and services. As the healthcare information systems market evolves, saturation of this market with our products or our competitors' products could limit our revenues and opportunities for growth. There has also been increasing consolidation amongst healthcare industry participants in recent years, creating integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, the number of market participants decreases and competition to provide products and services like ours will become more intense. The importance of establishing relationships with key industry participants will become greater and our inability to make initial sales of our systems to, or maintain relationships with, newly formed groups and/or healthcare providers that are replacing or substantially modifying their healthcare information systems could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. These consolidated industry participants may also try to use their increased market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. If we were forced to reduce our prices, our business would become less profitable unless we were able to achieve corresponding reductions in our expenses.

Many of our competitors have greater resources than we do. In order to compete successfully, we must keep pace with our competitors in anticipating and responding to the rapid changes involving the industry in which we operate, or our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. The software market generally is characterized by rapid technological change, changing client needs, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products incorporating new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and marketing new products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards. New product development depends upon significant research and development expenditures which depend ultimately upon sales growth. Any material shortfall in revenue or research funding could impair our ability to respond to technological advances or opportunities in the marketplace and to remain competitive. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or client requirements, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

In response to increasing market demand, we are currently developing new generations of targeted software products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop these new software products or that these products will operate successfully, or that any such development, even if successful, will be completed concurrently with or prior to introduction of competing products. Any such failure or delay could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.

The ongoing uncertainty in global economic conditions may negatively impact our business, operating results or financial condition. The continuing unfavorable global economic conditions and uncertainty have caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These macroeconomic conditions could negatively affect our business, operating results or financial condition in a number of ways. For example, current or potential clients may be unable to fund software purchases, which could cause them to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services or to not pay us or to delay paying us for previously purchased products and services. Our clients may cease business operations or conduct business on a greatly reduced basis. Finally, our investment portfolio is generally subject to general credit, liquidity, counterparty, market and interest rate risks that may be exacerbated by these global financial conditions. If the banking system or the fixed income, credit or equity markets continue to deteriorate or remain volatile, our investment portfolio may be impacted and the values and liquidity of our investments could be adversely affected as well.

We face risk and/or the possibility of claims from activities related to strategic partners, which could be expensive and time-consuming, divert personnel and other resources from our business and result in adverse publicity that could harm our business. We rely on third parties to provide services for our business. For example, we use national clearinghouses in the processing of some insurance claims and we outsource some of our hardware services and the printing and delivery of patient statements for our clients. These third parties could raise their prices and/or be acquired by our competitors, which could potentially create short and long-term disruptions to our business, negatively impacting our revenue, profit and/or stock price. We also have relationships with certain third parties where these third parties serve as sales channels through which we generate a portion of our revenue. Due to these third-party relationships, we could be subject to claims as a result of the activities, products, or services of these third-party service providers even though we were not directly involved in the circumstances leading to those claims. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, defending and investigating these claims could be expensive and time-consuming, divert personnel and other resources from our business and result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.

We may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive, time consuming, subject to inherent risks and from which we may not realize anticipated benefits. We may acquire additional businesses, technologies and products if we determine that these additional businesses, technologies and products are likely to serve our strategic goals. We acquired Opus and Sphere during fiscal year 2010, IntraNexus and CQI during fiscal year 2012 and Poseidon during fiscal year 2013, all of which are developers of software and services for the hospital market. We also acquired ViaTrack Systems, LLC ("ViaTrack") during fiscal year 2012 which develops information technologies that enhance EDI offerings, Matrix during fiscal year 2013 which provides revenue cycle management services, and Mirth during fiscal year 2014

12

which develops health information technology that helps clients achieve interoperability.. Acquisitions have inherent risks, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects, including, but not limited to the following:

• failure to achieve projected synergies and performance targets;

• potentially dilutive issuances of our securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;

• using cash as acquisition currency may adversely affect interest or investment income, which may in turn adversely affect our earnings and /or earnings per share;

• difficulty in fully or effectively integrating the acquired technologies, software products, services, business practices or personnel, which would prevent us from realizing the intended benefits of the acquisition;

• failure to maintain uniform standard controls, policies and procedures across acquired businesses;

• difficulty in predicting and responding to issues related to product transition such as development, distribution and client support;

• the possible adverse effect of such acquisitions on existing relationships with third party partners and suppliers of technologies and services;

• the possibility that staff or clients of the acquired company might not accept new ownership and may transition to different technologies or attempt to renegotiate contract terms or relationships, including maintenance or support agreements;

• the assumption of known and unknown liabilities;

• the possibility that the due diligence process in any such acquisition may not completely identify material issues associated with product quality, product architecture, product development, intellectual property issues, key personnel issues or legal and financial contingencies, including any deficiencies in internal controls and procedures and the costs associated with remedying such deficiencies;

• difficulty in entering geographic and/or business markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;

• difficulty in integrating acquired operations due to geographical distance and language and cultural differences;

• diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; and

• the possibility that acquired assets become impaired, requiring us to take a charge to earnings which could be significant.

A failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or technology could, for any of these reasons, have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to manage growth could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have in the past experienced periods of growth which have placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our non-cash resources. We also anticipate expanding our overall software development, marketing, sales, client management and training capacity. In the event we are unable to identify, hire, train and retain qualified individuals in such capacities within a reasonable timeframe, such failure could have an adverse effect on the operation of our business. In addition, our ability to manage future increases, if any, in the scope of our operations or personnel will depend on significant expansion of our research and development, marketing and sales, management and administrative and financial capabilities. The failure of our management to effectively manage expansion in our business could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operations are dependent upon our key personnel. If such personnel were to leave unexpectedly, we may not be able to execute our business plan. Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our key development and senior management personnel and successful recruitment of new talent. These personnel have specialized knowledge and skills with respect to our business and our industry. Because we have a relatively small number of employees when compared to other leading companies in our industry, our dependence on maintaining our relationships with key employees and successful recruiting is particularly significant.

The industry in which we operate is characterized by a high level of employee mobility and aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel. There can be no assurance that our current employees will continue to work for us. Loss of services of key employees could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may need to grant additional equity incentives to key employees and provide other forms of incentive compensation to attract and retain such key personnel. Equity incentives may be dilutive to our per share financial performance. Failure to provide such types of incentive compensation could jeopardize our recruitment and retention capabilities.

Continuing worldwide political and economic uncertainties may adversely affect our revenue and profitability. The last several years have been periodically marked by concerns including but not limited to inflation, decreased consumer confidence, the lingering effects of international conflicts, energy costs and terrorist and military activities. Although certain indices and economic data have shown signs of stabilization in the United States and certain global markets, there can be no assurance that these improvements will be broad-based or sustainable. This instability can make it extremely difficult for our clients, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause constrained spending on our products and services, delays and a lengthening of our sales cycles and/or difficulty in collection of our accounts receivable. Bankruptcies or similar insolvency events affecting our clients may cause us to incur bad debt expense at levels higher than historically experienced. Further, an ongoing economic stability in the global markets could limit our ability to access the

13

capital markets at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our ability to react to changing business conditions or new opportunities. Accordingly, if worldwide political and economic uncertainties continue or worsen, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to manage our growth in the new markets we may enter, our business and financial results could suffer. Our future financial results will depend in part on our ability to profitably manage our business in new markets that we may enter. We are engaging in the strategic identification of, and competition for, growth and expansion opportunities in new markets or offerings, including but not limited to the areas of interoperability, patient engagements, data analytics and population health. In order to successfully execute on these future initiatives, we will need to, among other things, manage changing business conditions and develop expertise in areas outside of our business's traditional core competencies. Difficulties in managing future growth in new markets could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in developing or launching our new software products and services, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We invest significant resources in the research and development of new and enhanced software products and services. Over the last few years we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant internal research and development expenses that are recorded as capitalized software costs. We cannot provide assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to develop or sell new software products, which could result in an impairment of the value of the related capitalized software costs, an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results and a negative impact the future of our business.

We recently implemented a new company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The implementation process was complex and involved a number of risks that may adversely affect our business and results of operations. During fiscal 2013, we replaced our multiple legacy business systems at different sites with a new company-wide, integrated ERP system to handle various business, operating and financial processes. The new system enhanced a variety of important functions, such as order entry, invoicing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, financial consolidation, and internal and external financial and management reporting matters.

ERP implementations are complex and time-consuming projects that involve substantial expenditures on system hardware and software and implementation activities that often continue for several years. Such an integrated, wide-scale implementation is extremely complex and requires transformation of business and financial processes in order to reap the benefits of the ERP system. Significant efforts are required for requirements identification, functional design, process documentation, data conversion, user training and post implementation support. Problems in any of these areas could result in operational issues including delayed billing and accounting errors and other operational issues. System delays or malfunctioning could also disrupt our ability to timely and accurately process and report results of our operations, financial position and cash flows, which could impact our ability to timely complete important business processes such as the evaluation of its internal controls and attestation activities pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We own a captive facility, located in India that subjects us to regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties in India. We are subject to several risks associated with having a portion of our assets and operations located in India. Many US companies have benefited from many policies of the Government of India and the Indian state governments in the states in which we operate, which are designed to promote foreign investment generally and the business process services industry in particular, including significant tax incentives, relaxation of regulatory restrictions, liberalized import and export duties and preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation. There is no assurance that such policies will continue. Various factors, such as changes in the current Government of India, could trigger significant changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular. In addition, our financial performance and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and economic and fiscal policy in India, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies, as well as social stability and political, economic or diplomatic developments affecting India in the future. In particular, India has experienced significant economic growth over the last several years, but faces major challenges in sustaining that growth in the years ahead. These challenges include the need for substantial infrastructure development and improving access to healthcare and education. Our ability to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, develop and operate our captive facility could be adversely affected if India does not successfully meet these challenges.

We could suffer further charges due to asset impairment that could reduce our income. We test our goodwill for impairment annually during our first fiscal quarter, and on interim dates should events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a $17.4 million goodwill impairment charge relating to our Hospital Solutions Division and during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a $26.0 million impairment charge relating to certain long-lived assets of our Hospital Solutions Division (see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section for additional information regarding this charge). Declines in business performance or other factors could cause the fair value of any of our operating segments to be revised downward, resulting in further impairment charges. If the financial outlook for any of our operating segments warrants additional impairments of goodwill, the resulting write-downs could materially affect our reported net earnings.

We face the risks and uncertainties that are associated with litigation against us, which may adversely impact our marketing, distract management and have a negative impact upon our business, results of operations and financial condition. We face the risks associated with litigation concerning the operation of our business. The uncertainty associated with substantial unresolved litigation may have an adverse effect on our business. In particular, such litigation could impair our relationships with existing clients and our ability to obtain new clients. Defending such litigation may result in a diversion of management's time and attention away from business operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Such litigation may also have the effect of discouraging potential acquirers from bidding for us or reducing the consideration such acquirers would otherwise be willing to pay in connection with an acquisition.

There can be no assurance that such litigation will not result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates.

We face risks related to litigation advanced by a former director and shareholder of ours, a putative class action and a shareholder derivative claim. On October 7, 2013, a complaint was filed against us and certain of our officers and directors in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange, captionedAhmed D. Hussein v. Sheldon Razin, Steven Plochocki, Quality Systems, Inc. and Does 1-10, inclusive, No. 30-2013-00679600-CU-NP-CJC, by Ahmed Hussein, a former director and significant shareholder of ours.  The complaint generally alleges fraud and deceit, constructive fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with statements made to our shareholders regarding our financial condition and projected future performance. On November 19, 2013, a complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Deerfield Beach Police Pension Fund, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Quality Systems, Inc., Steven T. Plochocki, Paul A. Holt and Sheldon Razin, No. SACV13-01818-CJC-JPRx, by the Deerfield Beach Police Pension Fund, a shareholder of the Company. The complaint is a putative class action filed on behalf of the shareholders of the Company other than the defendants. The complaint, which is substantially similar to the complaint filed by Mr. Hussein described above, generally alleges that statements made to the Company’s shareholders regarding the Company’s financial condition and projected future performance were false and misleading in violation of the Exchange Act, and that the individual defendants are liable for such statements because they are controlling persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On January 24, 2014, a complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and current and former directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Timothy J. Foss, derivatively on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, vs. Craig A. Barbarosh, George H. Bristol, James C. Malone, Peter M. Neupert, Morris Panner, D. Russell Pflueger, Steven T. Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance E. Rosenzweig and Quality Systems, Inc., No. SACV14-00110-DOC-JPPx, by Timothy J. Foss, a shareholder of the Company. The complaint arises from the same allegations described above related to the complaints filed by Mr. Hussein and the Deerfield Beach Police Pension Fund and generally alleges breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control and gross mismanagement by the Company’s directors, in addition to unjust enrichment and insider selling by individual directors. Although we believe the claims to be without merit, our operating results and share price may be negatively impacted due to the negative publicity, expenses incurred in connection with our defense, management distraction, and/or other factors related to this litigation. In addition, litigation of this nature may negatively impact our ability to attract and retain customers and strategic partners, as well as qualified board members and management personnel.

Risks Related to Our Products and Services

If our principal products, new product developments or implementation, training and support services fail to meet the needs of our clients, we may fail to realize future growth, suffer reputational harm and face the risk of losing existing clients. We currently derive substantially all of our net revenue from sales of our healthcare information systems and related services. We believe that a primary factor in the market acceptance of our systems has been our ability to meet the needs of users of healthcare information systems. Our future financial performance will depend in large part on our ability to continue to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our clients through the timely development and successful introduction of new and enhanced versions of our systems and other complementary products, as well as our ability to provide high quality implementation, training and support services for our products. We have historically expended a significant percentage of our net revenue on product development and believe that significant continuing product development efforts will be required to retain our existing clients and sustain our growth. Continued investment in our sales staff and our client implementation, training and support staffs will also be required to retain and grow our client base.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our customer satisfaction or product development efforts, that the market will continue to accept our existing products and services, or that new products or product enhancements will be developed and implemented in a timely manner, meet the requirements of healthcare providers, or achieve market acceptance. If new products or product enhancements are delayed or do not achieve market acceptance, or if our implementation, training and support services do not achieve a high degree of customer satisfaction, our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. At certain times in the past, we have also experienced delays in purchases of our products by clients anticipating our launch, or the launch of our competitors, of new products. There can be no assurance that material order deferrals in anticipation of new product introductions from ourselves or other entities will not occur.

If the emerging technologies and platforms of Microsoft and others upon which we build our products do not gain or continue to maintain broad market acceptance, or if we fail to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products and services compatible with such emerging technologies, we may not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenue will suffer. Our software products are built and depend upon several underlying and evolving relational database management system platforms such as those developed by Microsoft. To date, the standards and technologies upon which we have chosen to develop our products have proven to have gained industry acceptance. However, the market for our software products is subject to ongoing rapid technological developments, quickly evolving industry standards and rapid changes in client requirements, and there may be existing or future technologies and platforms that achieve industry standard status, which are not compatible with our products.

We are dependent on our license rights and other services from third parties, which may cause us to discontinue, delay or reduce product shipments. We depend upon licenses for some of the technology used in our products as well as other services from third-party vendors. Most of these arrangements can be continued/renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated for any number of reasons. We may not be able to continue using the products or services made available to us under these arrangements on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we may have to discontinue, delay or reduce product shipments or services provided until we can obtain equivalent technology or services. Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive. Our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the business elements covered by these arrangements and use these elements to compete directly with us. In addition, if our vendors choose to discontinue providing their technology or services in the future or are unsuccessful in their continued research and development efforts, we may not be able to modify or adapt our own products.

15

We may experience interruption at our data centers or client support facilities. We perform data center and/or hosting services for certain clients, including the storage of critical patient and administrative data at company-owned facilities and through third-party hosting arrangements. In addition, we provide support services to our clients through various client support facilities. We have invested in reliability features such as multiple power feeds, multiple backup generators and redundant telecommunications lines, as well as technical (such as multiple overlapping security applications, access control and other countermeasures) and physical security safeguards, and structured our operations to reduce the likelihood of disruptions. However, complete failure of all local public power and backup generators, impairment of all telecommunications lines, a concerted denial of service cyber-attack, a significant data breach, damage, injury or impairment (environmental, accidental, intentional or pandemic) to the buildings, the equipment inside the buildings housing our data centers, the personnel operating such facilities or the client data contained therein, or errors by the personnel trained to operate such facilities could cause a disruption in operations and negatively impact clients who depend on us for data center and system support services. Any interruption in operations at our data centers and/or client support facilities could damage our reputation, cause us to lose existing clients, hurt our ability to obtain new clients, result in significant revenue loss, create potential liabilities for our clients and us and increase insurance and other operating costs.

We face the possibility of having to adopt new pricing strategies, such as subscription pricing or bundling. In April 2009, we announced a new subscription based software as a service delivery model which includes monthly subscription pricing. This model is designed for smaller practices to quickly access the NextGen® Ambulatory EHR or NextGen® PM products at a modest monthly per provider price. We currently derive substantially all of our systems revenue from traditional software license, implementation and training fees, as well as the resale of computer hardware. Today, the majority of our clients pay an initial license fee for the use of our products, in addition to a periodic maintenance fee. While the intent of the new subscription based delivery model is to further penetrate the smaller practice market, there can be no assurance that this delivery model will not become increasingly popular with both small and large clients. In addition, we have experienced a recent increase in the demand for bundling our software and systems with RCM service arrangements, which has also caused us to modify our standard upfront license fee pricing model. If the marketplace increasingly demands subscription or bundled pricing, we may be forced to further adjust our sales, marketing and pricing strategies accordingly, by offering a higher percentage of our products and services through these means. Shifting to a significantly greater degree of subscription or bundled pricing could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and quarterly and annual revenue and results of operations, as our revenue would initially decrease substantially.

We face the possibility of claims based upon our website content, which may cause us expense and management distraction. We could be subject to third party claims based on the nature and content of information supplied on our website by us or third parties, including content providers or users. We could also be subject to liability for content that may be accessible through our website or third party websites linked from our website or through content and information that may be posted by users in chat rooms, bulletin boards or on websites created by professionals using our applications. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, investigating and defending against these claims could be expensive and time consuming and could divert management’s attention away from our operations.

If our security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to a client’s data, our services may be perceived as not being secure, clients may curtail or stop using our services, and we may incur significant liabilities. Our services involve the storage and transmission of clients’ proprietary information and protected health information of patients. Because of the sensitivity of this information, security features of our software are very important. If our security measures are breached or fail as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, insufficiency, defective design, or otherwise, someone may be able to obtain unauthorized access to client or patient data. As a result, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could face damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations and significant costs for remediation and remediation efforts to prevent future occurrences. We rely upon our clients as users of our system for key activities to promote security of the system and the data within it, such as administration of client-side access credentialing and control of client-side display of data. On occasion, our clients have failed to perform these activities. Failure of clients to perform these activities may result in claims against us that this reliance was misplaced, which could expose us to significant expense and harm to our reputation. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose sales and clients. In addition, our clients may authorize or enable third parties to access their client data or the data of their patients on our systems. Because we do not control such access, we cannot ensure the complete propriety of that access or integrity or security of such data in our systems.

Failure by our clients to obtain proper permissions and waivers may result in claims against us or may limit or prevent our use of data, which could harm our business. We require our clients to provide necessary notices and to obtain necessary permissions and waivers for use and disclosure of the information that we receive, and we require contractual assurances from them that they have done so and will do so. If they do not obtain necessary permissions and waivers, then our use and disclosure of information that we receive from them or on their behalf may be limited or prohibited by state or federal privacy laws or other applicable laws. This could impair our functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and may prevent use of such data. In addition, this could interfere with or prevent creation or use of rules and analyses or limit other data-driven activities that are beneficial to our business. Moreover, we may be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notice, permission or waiver. These claims or liabilities could subject us to unexpected costs and adversely affect our operating results.

We face the possibility of damages resulting from internal and external security breaches. In the course of our business operations, we compile and transmit confidential information, including patient health information, in our processing centers and other facilities. A breach of security in any of these facilities could damage our reputation and result in damages being assessed against us. In addition, the other systems with which we may interface, such as the Internet and related systems may be vulnerable to security breaches, viruses, programming errors, or similar disruptive problems. The effect of these security breaches and related issues could disrupt our ability to perform certain key business functions and could potentially reduce demand for our services. Accordingly, we have expended significant resources toward

16

establishing and enhancing the security of our related infrastructures, although no assurance can be given that they will be entirely free from potential breach. Maintaining and enhancing our infrastructure security may require us to expend significant capital in the future.

The success of our strategy to offer our EDI services and Internet solutions depends on the confidence of our clients in our ability to securely transmit confidential information. Our EDI services and Internet solutions rely on encryption, authentication and other security technology licensed from third parties to achieve secure transmission of confidential information. We may not be able to stop unauthorized attempts to gain access to or disrupt the transmission of communications by our clients. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate confidential user information or interrupt our, or our clients’, operations. In addition, our EDI and Internet solutions may be vulnerable to viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions.

Any failure to provide secure infrastructure and/or electronic communication services could result in a lack of trust by our clients causing them to seek out other vendors and/or damage our reputation in the market, making it difficult to obtain new clients.

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet by us and our customers, which is not within our control. We deliver Internet-based services and, accordingly, depend on our ability and the ability of our customers to access the Internet. This access is currently provided by third parties that have significant market power in the broadband and Internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies, mobile communications companies and government-owned service provides -- all of whom are outside of our control. In the event of any difficulties, outages and delays by Internet service providers, we may be impeded from providing services, resulting in a loss of potential or existing customers.

We may be subject to claims for system errors, warranties or product liability, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our software solutions are intended for use in collecting, storing and displaying clinical and healthcare-related information used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and in related healthcare settings such as admissions and billing. Therefore, users of our software solutions have a greater sensitivity to errors than the market for software products generally. Any failure by our products to provide accurate and timely information concerning patients, their medication, treatment and health status, generally, could result in claims against us which could materially and adversely impact our financial performance, industry reputation and ability to market new system sales. In addition, a court or government agency may take the position that our delivery of health information directly, including through licensed practitioners, or delivery of information by a third party site that a consumer accesses through our websites, exposes us to assertions of malpractice, other personal injury liability, or other liability for wrongful delivery/handling of healthcare services or erroneous health information. We maintain insurance to protect against claims associated with the use of our products as well as liability limitation language in our end-user license agreements, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage or contractual language would adequately cover any claim asserted against us. A successful claim brought against us in excess of or outside of our insurance coverage could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even unsuccessful claims could result in our expenditure of funds for litigation and management time and resources.

Certain healthcare professionals who use our Internet-based products will directly enter health information about their patients including information that constitutes a record under applicable law that we may store on our computer systems. Numerous federal and state laws and regulations, the common law and contractual obligations, govern collection, dissemination, use and confidentiality of patient-identifiable health information, including:

• state and federal privacy and confidentiality laws;

• our contracts with clients and partners;

• state laws regulating healthcare professionals;

• Medicaid laws;

• the HIPAA and related rules proposed by the Health Care Financing Administration; and

• Health Care Financing Administration standards for Internet transmission of health data.

HIPAA establishes elements including, but not limited to, federal privacy and security standards for the use and protection of Protected Health Information. Any failure by us or by our personnel or partners to comply with applicable requirements may result in a material liability to us.

Although we have systems and policies in place for safeguarding Protected Health Information from unauthorized disclosure, these systems and policies may not preclude claims against us for alleged violations of applicable requirements. Also, third party sites and/or links that consumers may access through our web sites may not maintain adequate systems to safeguard this information, or may circumvent systems and policies we have put in place. In addition, future laws or changes in current laws may necessitate costly adaptations to our policies, procedures, or systems.

There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to product liability claims, that such claims will not result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates. Such product liability claims could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to the effect of payer and provider conduct which we cannot control and accordingly, there is no assurance that revenue for our services will continue at historic levels. We offer certain electronic claims submission products and services as part of our product line. While we have implemented certain product features designed to maximize the accuracy and completeness of claims submissions, these features may not be sufficient to prevent inaccurate claims data from being submitted to payers. Should inaccurate claims data be submitted to payers, we may be subject to liability claims.

17

Electronic data transmission services are offered by certain payers to healthcare providers that establish a direct link between the provider and payer. This process reduces revenue to third party EDI service providers such as us. As a result of this, and other market factors, we are unable to ensure that we will continue to generate revenue at or in excess of prior levels for such services.

A significant increase in the utilization of direct links between healthcare providers and payers could adversely affect our transaction volume and financial results. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain our existing links to payers or develop new connections on terms that are economically satisfactory to us, if at all.

Proprietary rights are material to our success, and the misappropriation of these rights could adversely affect our business and our financial condition. We are heavily dependent on the maintenance and protection of our intellectual property and we rely largely on technical security measures, license agreements, confidentiality procedures and employee nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. The majority of our software is not patented and existing copyright laws offer only limited practical protection.

There can be no assurance that the legal protections and precautions we take will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies equivalent or superior to ours. Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States and are often not enforced as vigorously as those in the United States.

We do not believe that our operations or products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. However, there can be no assurance that others will not assert infringement or trade secret claims against us with respect to our current or future products or that any such assertion will not require us to enter into a license agreement or royalty arrangement or other financial arrangement with the party asserting the claim. Responding to and defending any such claims may distract the attention of our management and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, claims may be brought against third parties from which we purchase software, and such claims could adversely affect our ability to access third party software for our systems.

If we are deemed to infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties, we could incur unanticipated expense and be prevented from providing our products and services. We have been, and may be in the future, subject to intellectual property infringement claims as the number of our competitors grows and our applications' functionality is viewed as similar or overlapping with competitive products. We do not believe that we have infringed or are infringing on any proprietary rights of third parties. However, claims are occasionally asserted against us, and we cannot assure you that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future. Also, we cannot assure you that any such claims will be unsuccessful. We could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources defending any infringement claims - even if we are ultimately successful in the defense of such matters. Furthermore, a party making a claim against us could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to provide products or services. In addition, we cannot assure you that licenses for any intellectual property of third parties that might be required for our products or services will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We face risks related to the periodic maintenance and upgrades that need to be made to our products. As we continue to develop and improve upon our technology and offerings, we need to periodically upgrade and maintain the products deployed to our customers. This process can require a significant amount of our internal time and resources, and be complicated and time consuming for our customers. Certain upgrades may also pose the risk of system delays or failure. If our periodic upgrades and maintenance cause disruptions to our customers, we may lose revenue-generating transactions, our customers may elect to use other solutions and we may also be the subject of negative publicity that may adversely affect our business and reputation.

Risks Related to Regulation

There is significant uncertainty in the healthcare industry in which we operate, and the current governmental laws and regulations as well as any future modifications to the regulatory environment, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement processes and operation of healthcare facilities. During the past several years, the healthcare industry has been subject to an increase in governmental regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates and certain capital expenditures.

For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (as modified by The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”) provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) (collectively, “HIPAA”) continues to have a direct impact on the health care industry by requiring national provider identifiers and standardized transactions/code sets, operating rules and necessary security and privacy measures in order to ensure the appropriate level of privacy of protected health information. These regulatory factors affect the purchasing practices and operation of health care organizations.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”), which was amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, became law in 2010. This comprehensive health care reform legislation included provisions to control health care costs, improve health care quality, and expand access to affordable health insurance. Together with ongoing statutory and budgetary policy developments at a federal level, this health care reform legislation could include changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment policies and other health care delivery administrative reforms that could potentially negatively impact our business and the business of our clients. Because not all the administrative rules implementing health care reform under the legislation have been finalized, and because of ongoing federal fiscal budgetary pressures yet to be resolved for federal health programs, the full impact of the health care reform legislation and of further statutory actions to reform healthcare payment on our business is unknown, but there can be no assurances that health care reform legislation will not adversely impact either our operational results or the manner in which we operate our business. Health care industry participants may respond by reducing their investments or postponing investment decisions, including investments in our solutions and services.

Various legislators have announced that they intend to examine further proposals to reform certain aspects of the U.S. healthcare system. Healthcare providers may react to these proposals, and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals, by curtailing or deferring investments,

18

including those for our systems and related services. Cost-containment measures instituted by healthcare providers as a result of regulatory reform or otherwise could result in a reduction in the allocation of capital funds. Such a reduction could have an adverse effect on our ability to sell our systems and related services. On the other hand, changes in the regulatory environment have increased and may continue to increase the needs of healthcare organizations for cost-effective data management and thereby enhance the overall market for healthcare management information systems. We cannot predict what effect, if any, such proposals or healthcare reforms might have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As existing regulations mature and become better defined, we anticipate that these regulations will continue to directly affect certain of our products and services, but we cannot fully predict the effect at this time. We have taken steps to modify our products, services and internal practices as necessary to facilitate our compliance with the regulations, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in a timely or complete manner. Achieving compliance with these regulations could be costly and distract management’s attention and divert other company resources, and any noncompliance by us could result in civil and criminal penalties.

Developments of additional federal and state regulations and policies have the potential to positively or negatively affect our business.

Other specific risks include, but are not limited to, risks relating to:

Privacy and Security of Patient Information. As part of the operation of our business, we may have access to or our clients may provide to us individually-identifiable health information related to the treatment, payment, and operations of providers’ practices. Government and industry legislation and rulemaking, especially HIPAA, HITECH and standards and requirements published by industry groups such as the Joint Commission require the use of standard transactions, standard identifiers, security and other standards and requirements for the transmission of certain electronic health information. These standards and requirements impose additional obligations and burdens on us, limiting the use and disclosure of individually-identifiable health information, and require us to enter into business associate agreements with our clients and vendors. Our business associates may interpret HIPAA requirements differently than we do, and we may not be able to adequately address the risks created by such interpretations. These new rules, and any future changes to privacy and security rules, may increase the cost of compliance and could subject us to additional enforcement actions, which could further increase our costs and adversely affect the way in which we do business.

Implementation of ICD-10 Coding for Medical Coding. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) had mandated that all providers, payers, clearinghouses and billing services implement the use of new patient codes for medical coding, referred to as ICD-10 codes on or before October 1, 2014. In April 2014, Congress passed the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, which, among other things, delayed the ICD-10 transition by one-year. The ICD-10 transition mandate substantially increases the number of medical billing codes by which providers will seek reimbursement, increasing the complexity of submitting claims for reimbursement. Our efforts to provide services and solutions that enable our clients to comply with the ICD-10 mandate could be time consuming and expensive. In addition, due to the effort and expense of complying with the ICD-10 mandate, our clients may postpone or cancel decisions to purchase our solutions and services. Either of the foregoing, or any future delay in the ICD-10 transition, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Interoperability Standards. Our clients are concerned with and often require that our software solutions and health care devices be interoperable with other third party health care information technology suppliers. Market forces or governmental/regulatory authorities could create software interoperability standards that would apply to our solutions, health care devices or solutions, and if our software solutions, health care devices or services are not consistent with those standards, we could be forced to incur substantial additional development costs to conform. The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (“CCHIT”) has developed a comprehensive set of criteria for the functionality, interoperability and security of various software modules in the health care information technology industry. CCHIT, however, continues to modify and refine those standards. Achieving CCHIT certification is becoming a competitive requirement, resulting in increased software development and administrative expense to conform to these requirements.

FDA Regulation. Our software may potentially be subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as a medical device. Such regulation could require the registration of the applicable manufacturing facility and software and hardware products, application of detailed record-keeping and manufacturing standards, and FDA approval or clearance prior to marketing. An approval or clearance requirement could create delays in marketing, and the FDA could require supplemental filings or object to certain of these applications, the result of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Health Reform. The health reform laws discussed above and that may be enacted in the future contain and may contain various provisions which may impact us and our customers. Some of these provisions may have a positive impact, by expanding the use of electronic health records in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. Increases in fraud and abuse penalties may also adversely affect participants in the health care sector, including us.

We may not see the benefits from government funding programs initiated to accelerate the adoption and utilization of health information technology. While government programs have been implemented to improve the efficiency and quality of the healthcare sector, including expenditures to stimulate business and accelerate the adoption and utilization of healthcare technology, we may not see the anticipated benefits of such programs. Under the ARRA and the PPACA, unprecedented government financial resources are being invested in healthcare, including significant financial incentives to healthcare providers who can demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology since 2011. While we expect the ARRA and the PPACA to continue to create significant sales opportunities over the next several years, we are unsure of the immediate or long-term impact of these government actions.

HITECH established the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs to provide incentive payments for eligible professionals, hospitals, and critical access hospitals as they adopt, implement, upgrade, or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology. HITECH also

19

authorized CMS to apply payment adjustments, or penalties, to Medicare eligible professionals and eligible hospitals that are not meaningful users under the Medicare EHR Incentive Program.

Although we believe that our service offerings will meet the requirements of HITECH to allow our customers to qualify for financial incentives for implementing and using our services, there can be no guaranty that our customers will achieve meaningful use or actually receive such planned financial incentives for our services. We also cannot predict the speed at which healthcare providers will adopt electronic health record systems in response to these government incentives, whether healthcare providers will select our products and services or whether healthcare providers will implement an electronic health record system at all. In addition, the financial incentives associated with the meaningful use program are tied to provider participation in Medicare and Medicaid, and we cannot predict whether providers will continue to participate in these programs. Any delay in the purchase and implementation of electronic health records systems by healthcare providers in response to government programs, or the failure of healthcare providers to purchase an electronic health record system, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is also possible that additional regulations or government programs related to electronic health records, amendment or repeal of current healthcare laws and regulations or the delay in regulatory implementation could require us to undertake additional efforts to meet meaningful use standards, materially impact our ability to compete in the evolving healthcare IT market, materially impact healthcare providers' decisions to implement electronic health records systems or have other impacts that would be unfavorable to our business.

We may be subject to false or fraudulent claim laws. There are numerous federal and state laws that forbid submission of false information or the failure to disclose information in connection with submission and payment of physician claims for reimbursement. In some cases, these laws also forbid abuse of existing systems for such submission and payment. Any failure of our RCM services to comply with these laws and regulations could result in substantial liability including, but not limited to, criminal liability, could adversely affect demand for our services and could force us to expend significant capital, research and development and other resources to address the failure. Errors by us or our systems with respect to entry, formatting, preparation or transmission of claim information may be determined or alleged to be in violation of these laws and regulations. Determination by a court or regulatory agency that our services violate these laws could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, invalidate all or portions of some of our client contracts, require us to change or terminate some portions of our business, require us to refund portions of our services fees, cause us to be disqualified from serving clients doing business with government payers and have an adverse effect on our business.

In most cases where we are permitted to do so, we calculate charges for our RCM services based on a percentage of the collections that our clients receive as a result of our services. To the extent that violations or liability for violations of these laws and regulations require intent, it may be alleged that this percentage calculation provides us or our employees with incentive to commit or overlook fraud or abuse in connection with submission and payment of reimbursement claims. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has stated that it is concerned that percentage-based billing services may encourage billing companies to commit or to overlook fraudulent or abusive practices.

A portion of our business involves billing of Medicare claims on behalf of its clients. In an effort to combat fraudulent Medicare claims, the federal government offers rewards for reporting of Medicare fraud which could encourage others to subject us to a charge of fraudulent claims, including charges that are ultimately proven to be without merit.

If our products fail to comply with evolving government and industry standards and regulations, we may have difficulty selling our products. We may be subject to additional federal and state statutes and regulations in connection with offering services and products via the Internet. On an increasingly frequent basis, federal and state legislators are proposing laws and regulations that apply to Internet commerce and communications. Areas being affected by these regulations include user privacy, pricing, content, taxation, copyright protection, distribution, and quality of products and services. To the extent that our products and services are subject to these laws and regulations, the sale of our products and services could be harmed.

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance, one or more of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant guidance, principles or concepts issued by, among other authorities, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Commission, we believe our current sales and licensing contract terms and business arrangements have been properly reported. However, there continue to be issued interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range of sales and licensing contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the software industry. Future interpretations or changes by the regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices could result in changes in our revenue recognition and/or other accounting policies and practices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have an adverse effect on our business, and our per share price may be adversely affected. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC to implement Section 404, we are required to include in our Form 10-K a report by our management regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The report includes, among other things, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The assessment must include disclosure of any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management.

As part of the ongoing evaluation being undertaken by management and our independent registered public accountants pursuant to Section 404, our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2014. However, if we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting, we may discover material weaknesses that we would then be required to disclose. Any material weaknesses identified in our internal controls could have an adverse effect on our business. We may not be able to accurately or timely report on our financial results, and we might be subject to investigation by regulatory authorities. This could result in a loss of investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which may have an adverse effect on our stock price.

20

No evaluation process can provide complete assurance that our internal controls will detect and correct all failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The effectiveness of our controls and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgments. In addition, if we continue to expand, through either organic growth or through acquisitions (or both), the challenges involved in implementing appropriate controls will increase and may require that we evolve some or all of our internal control processes.

It is also possible that the overall scope of Section 404 may be revised in the future, thereby causing ourselves to review, revise or reevaluate our internal control processes which may result in the expenditure of additional human and financial resources.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

The unpredictability of our quarterly operating results may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline. Our revenue may fluctuate in the future from quarter to quarter and period to period, as a result of a number of factors including, without limitation:

• the size and timing of orders from clients;

• the specific mix of software, hardware and services in client orders;

• the length of sales cycles and installation processes;

• the ability of our clients to obtain financing for the purchase of our products;

• changes in pricing policies or price reductions by us or our competitors;

• the timing of new product announcements and product introductions by us or our competitors;

• changes in revenue recognition or other accounting guidelines employed by us and/or established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other rule-making bodies;

• accounting policies concerning the timing of the recognition of revenue;

• the availability and cost of system components;

• the financial stability of clients;

• market acceptance of new products, applications and product enhancements;

• our ability to develop, introduce and market new products, applications and product enhancements;

• our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs;

• deferrals of client orders in anticipation of new products, applications, product enhancements, or public/private sector initiatives;

• execution of or changes to our strategy;

• personnel changes; and

• general market/economic factors.

Our software products are generally shipped as orders are received and accordingly, we have historically operated with a minimal backlog of license fees. As a result, revenue in any quarter is dependent on orders booked and shipped in that quarter and is not predictable with any degree of certainty. Furthermore, our systems can be relatively large and expensive, and individual systems sales can represent a significant portion of our revenue and profits for a quarter such that the loss or deferral of even one such sale can adversely affect our quarterly revenue and profitability.

Clients often defer systems purchases until our quarter end, so quarterly results generally cannot be predicted and frequently are not known until after the quarter has concluded.

Our sales are dependent upon clients’ initial decisions to replace or substantially modify their existing information systems, and subsequently, their decision concerning which products and services to purchase. These are major decisions for healthcare providers and, accordingly, the sales cycle for our systems can vary significantly and typically ranges from six to twenty-four months from initial contact to contract execution/shipment.

Because a significant percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of systems sales, implementations and installations can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, we believe that interim period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Further, our historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance for any particular period.

We currently recognize revenue in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance as defined by the FASB.

There can be no assurance that application and subsequent interpretations of these pronouncements will not further modify our revenue recognition policies, or that such modifications would not adversely affect our operating results reported in any particular quarter or year.

Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of our common stock would likely be adversely affected.

21

Our common stock price has been volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors purchasing shares of our common stock and in litigation against us. Volatility may be caused by a number of factors including but not limited to:

• actual or anticipated quarterly variations in operating results;

• rumors about our performance, software solutions, or merger and acquisition activity;

• changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of securities analysts;

• governmental regulatory action;

• health care reform measures;

• client relationship developments;

• purchases or sales of company stock;

• activities by one or more of our major shareholders concerning our policies and operations;

• changes occurring in the markets in general;

• macroeconomic conditions, both nationally and internationally; and

• other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the market for software, healthcare and high technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of actual operating performance.

Moreover, in the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.

Two current and former directors are significant shareholders, which makes it possible for them to have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval and which influence may be alleged to conflict with our interests and the interests of our other shareholders. One of our directors is a significant shareholder who beneficially owns approximately 16.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock at March 31, 2014. Another former director, who owns approximately 9.4% (based on publicly filed information) of the outstanding shares of our common stock at March 31, 2014, likely maintains a large enough ownership stake to reelect himself to our Board of Directors under cumulative voting. California law and our Bylaws permit our shareholders to cumulate their votes, the effect of which is to provide shareholders with sufficiently large concentrations of our shares the opportunity to assure themselves one or more seats on our Board of Directors. The amounts required to assure a seat on our Board of Directors can vary based upon the number of shares outstanding, the number of shares voting, the number of directors to be elected, the number of “broker non-votes,” and the number of shares held by the shareholder exercising the cumulative voting rights. In the event that cumulative voting is invoked, it is likely that these two individuals that are significant shareholders will each have sufficient votes to assure themselves of one or more seats on our Board of Directors. With or without cumulative voting, these two significant shareholders will have substantial influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of our directors and other corporate actions. This influence may be alleged to conflict with our interests and the interests of our other shareholders. For example, in fiscal year 2013, the former director launched a proxy contest to elect a different slate of directors than what our Company proposed to shareholders. We spent approximately $1.3 million to defend against the proxy contest and elect the Company's slate of directors. In addition, such influence by one or both of these shareholders could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting to acquire our Company or create actual or perceived governance instabilities that could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Our future practice concerning the payment of dividends is uncertain, which could adversely affect the price of our stock. We announced our intention to pay a quarterly dividend commencing with the conclusion of our first fiscal quarter of 2008 (June 30, 2007) and pursuant to this practice our Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend ranging from $0.125 to its most recent level of $0.175 per share on our outstanding shares of common stock, each quarter thereafter. We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors pursuant to this practice, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each of the months of October, January, April and July. There can be no guarantees that we will have the financial ability to fund this dividend in perpetuity or to pay it at historic rates. Further, our Board of Directors may decide not to pay the dividend at some future time for financial or non-financial reasons. Unfulfilled expectations regarding future dividends could adversely affect the price of our stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters, the QSI Dental Division and the NextGen Division training operations are located in Irvine, California. We believe that our present facilities are adequate for our current needs. Should we continue to grow, we may be required to lease or acquire additional space. We believe that suitable additional or substitute space is available, if needed, at market rates.

As of March 31, 2014, we leased an aggregate of approximately 447,200 square feet of space with lease agreements expiring at various dates. Significant locations are as follows:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have experienced legal claims by customers regarding product and contract disputes, by other third parties asserting that we have infringed their intellectual property rights, by current and former employees regarding certain employment matters and by certain shareholders. 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 within “Item 1A. Risk Factors".

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Price and Holders

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “QSII.”

On July 27, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of our common stock and a proportional increase in the number of our common shares authorized from 50 million to 100 million. Each shareholder 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 October 26, 2011 and trading began on a split-adjusted basis on October 27, 2011. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the two-for-one split of our common stock.

The following table sets forth for the quarters indicated the high and low sales prices for each period indicated, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market:

23

	High	Low
Three Months Ended
June 30, 2012	$44.19	$23.93
September 30, 2012	$28.22	$15.04

March 31, 2014	$21.07	$16.28

At May 27, 2014, there were approximately 96 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividends

In January 2007, our Board of Directors adopted a practice whereby we intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock, subject to further review and approval, sufficiency of funds and the establishment of record and distribution dates by our Board of Directors prior to the declaration of each such quarterly dividend. We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors pursuant to this practice, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each of the months of October, January, April and July.

On May 28, 2014, 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 June 13, 2014 with an expected distribution date on or about July 3, 2014.

Our Board of Directors declared the following dividends during the periods presented (stock split adjusted):

Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Per Share Dividend

Management Overview

Quality Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate as four business divisions (each, a "Division") 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.

On September 9, 2013, we acquired Mirth, a global leader in health information technology that helps clients achieve interoperability. Operating results associated with Mirth products and services are included in the NextGen Division. The acquisition of Mirth will enhance our current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broaden our accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. Mirth offers a wide variety of products and services utilized by both users of Mirth open code technology as well as a large base of domestic and international paying customers. On April 15, 2012, we acquired Matrix, a value-added reseller for NextGen Healthcare, that provides RCM services, healthcare IT solutions and training, implementation and support centered on NextGen® technology, to its clients nationwide. The acquisition is enabling our RCM Services Division to expand its footprint among private and hospital-based physicians and groups by leveraging Matrix's RCM expertise.

On November 14, 2011, we acquired ViaTrack, a developer and provider of information technologies that enhance EDI offerings. This acquisition provides a platform to pursue significant opportunities that exist to leverage ViaTrack's technologies to reduce costs and enhance our EDI offerings to all divisions.

In the last few years, we also acquired companies that were established developers of software and services for the hospital market to operate under the Hospital Solutions Division. On May 1, 2012, we acquired Poseidon, a provider of emergency department software. On July 26, 2011, we acquired CQI, a provider of hospital systems for surgery management. On April 29, 2011, we acquired IntraNexus, a provider of Web-based integrated clinical and hospital information systems. On February 10, 2010, we acquired Opus, a provider of Web-based clinical solutions to hospital systems and integrated health networks nationwide and on August 12, 2009 we acquired Sphere, a provider of financial information systems to the small hospital inpatient market. These acquisitions are part of our long term 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 hospital markets.

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 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 stimulate demand for robust electronic health record solutions as well as new healthcare information technology solutions from bundled billing capabilities to patient engagement and population health management.

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 market for physician based electronic health records software is becoming increasingly saturated while physician group practices are rapidly being consolidated by hospitals, insurance payers and other entities. 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. Our strategy is to focus addressing upcoming needs of accountable care organizations around interoperability, patient engagements, population health, and data analytics. We believe that our core strength lies in the central role our software products and services play in the

delivery of healthcare by the primary physician in an ambulatory setting. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements including ICD-10 and meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments. We believe that the expanded requirements for continued eligibility for incentive payments under meaningful use rules will result in an expanded replacement market for electronic health records software. We intend to continue the 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. Key elements of our future software development will be to continue to integrate our ambulatory and hospital products, making our products more intuitive and easy to use, and enhancing our ability to deliver our software over the cloud with the latest technology.

We also want 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 leverage this strategic asset by expanding our product and service offerings towards this customer base.

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, capitalizable software development costs, 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 believe that the significant accounting policies, as described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” should be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. We believe the following table depicts the most critical accounting policies that affect our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition	Judgments and Uncertainties
We generate revenue from the sale of licensing rights to use our software products sold directly to end-users and value-added resellers, or VARs. We also generate revenue from sales of hardware and third party software, implementation and training, EDI, RCM, post-contract support (maintenance), and other services, including subscriptions and hosting services, performed for clients who license our products. Revenue from implementation and training services is recognized as the corresponding services are performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance period. RCM revenue is derived from service fees, which include amounts charged for ongoing billing and other related services and are generally billed to the client as a percentage of total collections. We do not recognize revenue for services fees until these collections are made as the services fees are not fixed or determinable until such time. Contract accounting is applied where services include significant software modification, development or customization.	A typical system contract contains multiple elements of the items discussed. 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”). We limit our assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly or annually depending on the nature of the product or service. We generally establish VSOE for the related undelivered elements based on the bell-shaped curve method. Maintenance VSOE for our largest clients is based on stated renewal rates only if the rate is determined to be substantive and falls within our 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, we defer 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 our arrangements 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.
	We have historically offered short-term rights of return in certain sales arrangements. If we are 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 we are 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.
	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
	Although we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Judgments and Uncertainties
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments. We perform credit evaluations of our clients and maintain reserves for estimated credit losses. Reserves for potential credit losses are determined by establishing both specific and general reserves.	Reserves are established based on our historical experience of bad debt expense and the aging of our accounts receivable balances net of deferred revenue and specifically reserved accounts. Specific reserves are based on management’s estimate of the probability of collection for certain troubled accounts. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.
	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions

29

	Although we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in required reserves that could be material.
Software Development Costs	Judgments and Uncertainties
Development costs, consisting primarily of employee salaries and benefits, incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional external software development costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is typically three years.	We periodically reassess the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. An assessment of capitalized software costs in FY 2014 determined that an impairment existed. Refer to the "Overview of Our Results - Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets" section for details on the impairment charge recorded in the current fiscal year. Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions Although we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.
Goodwill	Judgments and Uncertainties
	We test goodwill for impairment annually during our first fiscal quarter, referred to as the annual test date. We 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.
	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
	In fiscal 2013 we adopted the new provisions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), that intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. The updated guidance permits us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we conduct a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their carrying values. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. The amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, if any, is recognized as an impairment loss. Refer to the "Overview of Our Results - Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets" section for information regarding the impairment of goodwill at March 31, 2014. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to future impairment charges that could be material.
Business Combinations — Purchase Price Allocations	Judgments and Uncertainties

30

During the last three fiscal years, we completed six acquisitions: Mirth, Poseidon, Matrix, ViaTrack, CQI and IntraNexus.	In accordance with the accounting for business combinations, we allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. Our purchase price allocation methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. Management estimates the fair value of assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses depending on the nature of the assets being sold. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which could affect the accuracy of our fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies.
	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
	We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to complete the purchase price allocation and estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.
Intangible Assets	Judgments and Uncertainties
Intangible assets consist of trade names and contracts, customer relationships, and software technology, all of which arose in connection with our acquisitions.	These intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are stated net of accumulated amortization. We currently amortize intangible assets using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed.
	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
	Although we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to decreases in the fair value of our intangible assets, resulting in impairment charges that could be material. We test intangible assets for impairment if we believe indicators of impairment exist. An assessment of intangible assets in FY 2014 determined that an impairment existed. Refer to the "Overview of Our Results - Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets" section for details on the impairment charge recorded in the current fiscal year.
Share-Based Compensation	Judgments and Uncertainties
Our stock-based compensation plans consist of stock options and restricted stock. See Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion of our stock-based compensation programs.	We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Expected term is estimated using historical exercise experience. Volatility is estimated by using the weighted-average historical volatility of our common stock, which approximates expected volatility. The risk free rate is the implied yield available on the U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equal to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is the average dividend rate during a period equal to the expected term of the option. Those inputs are then entered into the Black Scholes model to determine the estimated fair value. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized ratably as expense over the requisite service period in our consolidated statements of income. On May 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved its fiscal year 2014 equity incentive program for certain employees to be awarded options to purchase common stock. Under the program, executives are eligible to receive options based on meeting certain target increases in EPS performance and revenue and operating growth during fiscal year 2014. Non-executive employees are also eligible to receive options based on satisfying certain management established criteria and recommendations of senior management. The options shall be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan, 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 our 2014 incentive plan 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.

31

	Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions
	We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to determine stock-based compensation expense. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to changes in stock-based compensation expense that could be material.
Self-Insured Liabilities	Judgments and Uncertainties
Effective January 1, 2010, we became self-insured with respect to healthcare claims, subject to stop-loss limits. We accrue for estimated self-insurance costs and uninsured exposures based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported as of each balance sheet date. However, it is possible that recorded accruals may not be adequate to cover the future payment of claims. Adjustments, if any, to estimated accruals resulting from ultimate claim payments will be reflected in earnings during the periods in which such adjustments are determined.	Our self-insured liabilities contain uncertainties because management is required to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and claims incurred but not reported at the balance sheet date. Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our self-insured liabilities. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.

Overview of Our Results

• Consolidated revenue decreased 3.4% in the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects a 29.8% decline in system sales revenue, mitigated by a 6.3% growth in recurring services revenue (i.e. maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services revenues).

• Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 50.5% in the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 58.8% in the prior year period. Gross profit was significantly impacted by a $20.1 million impairment charge recorded to cost of software sales during the third quarter of the current fiscal year related to the Hospital Solutions Division. See the "Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets" section below for further information. In addition, gross profit was negatively affected by a shift in revenue mix towards recurring services and away from higher margin software license sales. Software license revenue represented 13.7% of total revenue in the current year compared to 19.2% in the prior year and recurring service revenue represented 80.5% of total revenue as compared to 73.1% in the prior year. Total gross profit from system sales declined 81.8% to $12.9 million versus $70.9 million in the prior year. Partially offsetting the decline in system sales gross profit, was an increase in gross profit from recurring services revenue, including maintenance, RCM and EDI, which grew 6.0% to $211.6 million compared to $199.6 million in the prior year. Consolidated operating income decreased 66.6% in the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year period primarily due the decline in gross profit as mentioned above and a 34.5% increase in research and development costs.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, a goodwill impairment charge of $17.4 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 relating to the Hospital Solutions Division (the "Hospital reporting unit" or "Hospital"), which reduced the book value of goodwill associated with the division to $4.3 million. At that time, management concluded there was no impairment of intangible or other assets.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, management identified certain factors, including a further decline in revenues and operating results, key management turnover and other qualitative indicators of potential impairment, which warranted a reassessment of the Hospital reporting unit's multi-year forecast. Based upon such reassessment, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, management re-evaluated the Hospital reporting unit's residual goodwill balance for potential impairment. In the course of such assessment, other long-term assets of the Hospital reporting unit were also evaluated for potential impairment as described below.

We performed step one of the goodwill impairment test to estimate the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow analysis considering various scenarios as well as market approach. The step one analysis indicated that the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit was lower than the carrying value. The failure of step one triggered step two of the impairment test, which required that we determine the implied fair value of the Hospital reporting unit's assets and liabilities in the same manner of determining such amounts in a business combination.

Based on our assessment of the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit's assets and liabilities, we concluded that the net carrying amount of all assets and liabilities approximated their respective fair values, other than capitalized software development costs, customer relationships intangible assets and acquired software technology intangible assets. The capitalized software development costs and intangible assets were deemed to have zero fair value based on the following analysis:

32

• Capitalized software development costs - such costs represent the capitalized portion of research and development costs applicable to Hospital, net of cumulative amortization of such costs. Management performed an assessment of the recoverability of such capitalized software costs and determined that the capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on a negative net realizable value expected to be generated from the Hospital reporting unit's software. As a result, the remaining net capitalized software costs of $9.1 million were deemed to be impaired and were fully written off.

• Intangible assets - we determined that the acquired software technology intangible asset class represents the primary long-term asset of the Hospital reporting unit. We then estimated the expected future undiscounted cash flows associated with this asset class, including the residual value of other long-term assets of this business unit. Based upon such cash flow estimates, we deemed the customer relationships and acquired software technology to have no fair value, and an impairment charge of $12.6 million was recognized to reduce the carrying value of this asset class to zero.

The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. As a result of the step two analysis, we concluded that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the Hospital reporting unit's implied fair value and that the implied fair value of the goodwill balance was zero as of the measurement date. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment charge of $4.3 million was recognized to reduce the value of Hospital reporting unit's goodwill to zero as of December 31, 2013.

Key assumptions underlying the estimation of the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit include: a) the near-term continuation of recent results of operations for the Division, b) our detailed reassessment of the strategies of this Division and the actions required to achieve those strategies, and c) the technology roadmap pertinent to this Division. We remain committed to the hospital market and continue to invest in implementation and training, infrastructure and support, customer service and software development. We intend to maintain the sufficiency of these investments while effectively managing the operating efficiencies of the Hospital reporting unit.

In aggregate, the Hospital reporting unit's impairment charge relating to goodwill, capitalized software development costs, customer relationships and acquired software technology intangible assets was $26.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as summarized below (in thousands):

	Goodwill		Intangible Assets		Capitalized Software Costs		Total
Cost of revenue:
Software and hardware - Hospital Solutions Division	$	—	$	—	$	9,075	$	9,075
Software and hardware - unallocated corporate expenses	—		11,023		—		11,023
Total impairment in cost of revenue	—		11,023		9,075		20,098
Operating expenses:
Impairment of goodwill and other assets - unallocated corporate expenses	4,342		1,531		—		5,873
Total impairment in operating expenses	4,342		1,531		—		5,873
Total impairment of goodwill and other assets	$	4,342	$	12,554	$	9,075	$	25,971

Although goodwill and acquired intangible assets are allocated to the Hospital Solutions Division for the purposes of impairment testing, such assets are deemed corporate assets and the related impairment charges for such assets are recorded as unallocated corporate expenses. The classification of the impairment charge between cost of revenue and operating expenses is consistent with the historic accounting for costs associated with each impaired asset class.

QSI Dental Division

• QSI Dental Division revenue decreased 0.8% in the year ended March 31, 2014, and divisional operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) decreased 6.4%, as compared to the same prior year period. The decline in operating income is the result of a decrease in system sales and higher research and development costs. It should be noted that the QSI Dental Division's new software solution, QSIDental Web ("QDW"), is being sold as a SaaS solution, which typically spreads revenue over a longer period of time rather than being recognized upfront. SaaS revenue recognized from QDW in the year ended March 31, 2014 grew to approximately $0.7 million from $0.5 million in the prior year period due to a growing number of customers moving to the QDW solution. The number of QDW users grew to over 2,500 by March 31, 2014 and is expected to continue to grow in the next year.

• 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.

33

NextGen Division

• NextGen Division revenue decreased 0.9% in the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year period. This variance reflects a 23.1% decline in system sales revenue, mitigated by 8.6% growth in recurring service revenue, including increases of 5.3% in maintenance and 13.5% in EDI revenue. System sales at the NextGen Division have declined in recent quarters partly as a result of greater penetration of EHR software among medium and large size practice groups, which has reduced the number of sales opportunities to new customers. Consolidation of practice groups by hospitals has also put increased competitive pressure on the NextGen Division versus hospital based vendors, which possess integrated hospital and ambulatory offerings. Recurring service revenue, which consists mostly of maintenance and EDI revenue, increased 7.7% to $202.6 million and accounted for 59.4% of total NextGen Division revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014. In the same period a year ago, recurring service revenue of $188.2 million represented 54.7% of total NextGen Division revenue.

• NextGen Division operating income (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) decreased 9.6% in the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year period. The decline in operating income is primarily the result of a decrease in system sales as mentioned above, as well as a 16.4% increase in research and development costs in the current period.

• Our acquisition of Mirth on September 9, 2013 added approximately $7.5 million in primarily recurring revenue and $1.0 million in operating income for the NextGen Division from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2014.

• 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, expanding our software and service offerings supporting pay-for-performance initiatives around accountable care organizations, bringing greater ease of use and intuitiveness to our software products, expanding our interoperability capabilities, integrating our hospital and ambulatory software products and further development and enhancements of our portfolio of specialty focused templates within our EHR software. We intend to remain at the forefront of upcoming new regulatory requirements, including ICD-10 and meaningful use requirements for stimulus payments. We believe that the expanded requirements for continued eligibility for incentive payments under meaningful use rules will result in an expanded replacement market for electronic health records software. We also intend to continue 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. We believe that our acquisition of Mirth will provide improved capabilities around interoperability and improved competitiveness in our markets, as well as providing new customers and expanded markets for the NextGen Division.

• The latest significant versions of our ambulatory software products achieved general release during the third quarter of fiscal 2014. We expect that these releases will result in significantly higher rates of amortization relative to previously capitalized software development costs reflected in our recent historical operating results. Amortization of capitalized software costs are reflected as cost of revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 8, “Capitalized Software Costs” of our notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for an estimate of future amortization of capitalized software costs as of March 31, 2014. We have also noted a trend towards shorter development cycles, which impacts our rate of capitalization of software development costs. Although lower capitalization rates have no impact on our overall cash flows, it results in a higher portion of our software development costs being expensed up front, resulting in increased research and development expenses as compared to prior periods.

• The NextGen Division’s growth is attributed to a strong brand name and reputation within the marketplace for healthcare information technology software and services and investments in sales and marketing activities, including new marketing campaigns, Internet advertising investments, trade show attendance and other expanded advertising and marketing expenditures. We have also recently expanded our relationship with certain value added resellers with significant resources both domestically and internationally.

Hospital Solutions Division

• Hospital Solutions Division revenue decreased 50.3% in the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year period. Revenue was negatively impacted by a 83.1% decline in system sales, a 29.3% decline in maintenance revenue, and higher write-offs and reserve accruals for anticipated sales credits.

• The divisional operating loss (excluding unallocated corporate expenses) for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $26.8 million, as compared to a loss of $4.4 million for the prior year period. Operating results were negatively impacted by the decrease in system sales and maintenance revenues and $9.1 million in impairment charges recorded to this Division in the third quarter of the fiscal year related to the write-off of capitalized software development costs, as discussed above in the "Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets" section.The Hospital Solutions Division has incurred losses in the last two fiscal years and is expected to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future while we continue to invest in implementation and training, support, and development to support our customer base and maximize customer satisfaction. Our expectations about the future performance of this Division resulted in the full impairment of significant long-term assets of this Division as described above. Along with recording an impairment charge, we have also ceased capitalization and amortization of software development costs at this Division. For the last full quarter preceding the impairment, total capitalized software costs were approximately $1.2 million and total amortization of previously capitalized amounts was approximately $0.6 million.

RCM Services Division

34

• RCM Services Division revenue increased 5.6% in the year ended March 31, 2014. The RCM Services Division benefited from organic growth achieved through cross selling RCM services to existing NextGen Division clients, as well as new clients added during the year ended March 31, 2014, partially offset by the departure of a large customer during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2014.

• Operating income increased 3.5% in the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to growth in RCM revenues and gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

• The Company believes that a significant opportunity exists to continue cross selling RCM services to existing customers. The portion of existing NextGen Division customers who are using the RCM Services Division's services is less than 10%. Management is actively pursuing efforts to achieve faster growth from expanded efforts to leverage the existing NextGen Division's sales force towards selling RCM services. We also believe that the increased complexity related to the billing and collections process, expected to go into effect with ICD-10, will create additional opportunities for our RCM Services Division.

• Actual and expected customer turnover may impact short term revenue for the division. However, we are encouraged by increased sales activity and a growing sales pipeline of RCM services.

Corporate expenses (costs unallocated to the operating segments)

• Historically, amortization expense associated with customer relationships and acquired software technology intangible assets has been recorded as an unallocated corporate expense. As a result of the impairment of these intangible assets related to the Hospital Division, recent historical amortization expense of approximately $0.9 million per quarter will no longer impact Corporate expenses.

• As a result of the Mirth acquisition, we anticipate an increase in expenses related to amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition related expenses (including fair value adjustments) as compared to our recent historical operating results. Refer to Note 7, “Intangible Assets” of our notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for the remaining estimated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2014, which includes the estimated future impact of amortization related to intangible assets acquired from Mirth. In addition, the purchase accounting valuation of the Mirth acquisition resulted in a $5.2 million discount related to the share-based purchase consideration. Such discount is being amortized over a three year period ending September 2016. This amortization is reflected as a component of our selling, general and administrative operating expenses.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of net revenue represented by each item in our consolidated statements of income (certain percentages below may not sum due to rounding):

Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013

Net Income. Our net income for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $15.7 million, or $0.26 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $42.7 million, or $0.72 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis for the year ended March 31, 2013. The change in net income for the year ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributed to the following:

• an 81.8% decrease in consolidated system sales gross profit as a result of a $20.1 million impairment charge recorded to cost of software sales related to the Hospital Solutions Division and reduced software license sales due to a number of factors, including higher adoption rates by large physician groups resulting in a lower 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 of the deadline to adopt stage two meaningful use requirements until calendar 2014;

• a 191.0% decline in implementation and training services gross profit (loss) from $4.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2013 to $(3.8) million for the year ended March 31, 2014 as a result of reduced utilization rates due to the lack of expected demand from our customers related to upgrade assistance for ICD-10, for which the deadline to comply with its requirements was delayed from October 2014 to at least October 2015; offset by

36

• an increase in gross profit from recurring service revenue, including maintenance, RCM and EDI which grew 1.0%, 6.0% and 16.0%, respectively, compared to the prior year period; and

• an $18.9 million decrease in the provision for income taxes due to lower taxable income in comparison to the prior year period.

Revenue. Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014 decreased 3.4% to $444.7 million from $460.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2013. NextGen Division revenue decreased 0.9% to $341.1 million from $344.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2014, QSI Dental Division revenue decreased 0.8% to $19.8 million from $20.0 million, and the Hospital Solutions Division revenue decreased 50.3% to $15.6 million from $31.4 million in the same prior year period. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by an increase in revenue for the RCM Services Division, which increased 5.6% to $68.1 million from $64.5 million.

System Sales. Revenue earned from company-wide sales of systems for the year ended March 31, 2014 decreased 29.8% to $86.8 million from $123.6 million in the prior year period.

The decrease in system sales was driven primarily by lower sales of software to both new and existing clients for both the NextGen and Hospital Solutions Divisions. For the NextGen Division, revenue from system sales decreased 23.1%, or $23.9 million, to $79.6 million during the year ended March 31, 2014 from $103.5 million during the same prior year period while system sales revenues at the Hospital Solutions Division decreased $11.6 million to $2.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $14.0 million in the same prior year period.

The following table breaks down our reported system sales into software, hardware and third-party software, and implementation and training services components on a consolidated and divisional basis for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

	Software			Hardware and Third Party Software		Implementation and Training Services		Total System Sales
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014
QSI Dental Division	$	1,883		$	1,228	$	1,300	$	4,411

NextGen Division software license revenue decreased 22.3% in the year ended March 31, 2014 versus the same period last year. The Division's software revenue accounted for 70.2% of divisional system sales revenue during the year ended March 31, 2014 compared to 69.4% during the same period a year ago. Software license revenue continues to be an area of primary emphasis for the NextGen Division.

Hospital Solutions Division software license revenue decreased 161.1% in the year ended March 31, 2014 versus the same period last year due to higher write-offs and accruals for anticipated sales credits, combined with significantly lower software sales to new and existing customers.

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 electronic health records 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. Additionally, the Mirth acquisition provided us with new products and services around HIE and interoperability, which we intend to utilize to drive future growth. It is difficult to assess the relative impact as well as the timing of positive and negative trends, however, we believe we are well positioned to support the ever increasing need for healthcare information technology.

During the year ended March 31, 2014, 6.0% of the NextGen Division's system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third-party software compared to 5.5% 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 period 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.

37

Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the NextGen Division decreased 27.0% in the year ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same prior year period. Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the Hospital Solutions Division decreased 21.5%, in the year ended March 31, 2014 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. It should be noted that we have experienced a decline in the level of systems sales in recent quarters which in turn resulted in a decline in the amount of implementation services sold. We have not reduced our staffing levels in spite of the decline in revenue as we believe that the demand for services is going to increase especially as our customers implement the newest release of our core ambulatory software products, which support new ICD-10 billing requirements.

Maintenance, EDI, RCM and Other Services. For the year ended March 31, 2014, our company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services grew 6.3% to $357.9 million from $336.6 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 an increase in revenue from the RCM Services Division.

Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014 grew 5.3% to $141.0 million from $133.9 million for the same prior year period while NextGen Division EDI revenue grew 13.5% to $61.6 million compared to $54.3 million in the same prior year period. Maintenance revenue for the NextGen Division increased by $7.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2014 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 and existing clients. 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 organic growth. We intend to continue to promote maintenance, EDI and RCM services to both new and existing clients.

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 11.9% to $58.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2014 from $52.6 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue benefited from a strong increase in consulting revenue to existing NextGen Division customers as well as the addition of Mirth subscription revenue in the current year.

QSI Dental Division maintenance, EDI and other services revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $15.4 million compared to $14.6 million for the same prior year period. For the year ended March 31, 2014, RCM revenue for the RCM Services Division grew $3.8 million, or 6.3%, to $63.0 million compared to $59.2 million in the same prior year period. For the Hospital Solutions Division, maintenance, EDI and other services revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014 decreased 24.0% as compared to the same prior year period due to a decline in maintenance revenue related to higher accruals for anticipated sales credits and lower amounts of maintenance services provided to existing customers.

The following table details maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services revenue by category on a consolidated and divisional basis for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

(1) Relates to the amortization of acquired software technology intangible assets

Consolidated gross profit margins decreased for the year ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a significant decrease in software sales during the current year. Additionally, the gross profit margin was negatively impacted by the impairment charge on current year cost of revenue, which totaled $9.1 million and $11.0 million for the Hospital Solutions Division and the unallocated cost of revenue, respectively.

Gross profit (loss) for the Hospital Solutions Division decreased to (74.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 46.8% for the same prior year period primarily due to the $9.1 million impairment charge recorded to cost of revenue, as well as significant declines in system sales revenues, implementation and training, and maintenance gross profit. The change in maintenance gross profit was primarily a result of increased accruals for anticipated sales credits in the current period.

Gross profit margins in the QSI Dental Division and RCM Services Division remained consistent compared to the same prior year period with a change of less than 1.0% in each division's respective gross margin percentages.

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 years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

The cost of software at the Hospital Solutions Division increased significantly to 66.3% during the year end March 31, 2014 as compared to 2.0% in the same prior year period due to the $9.1 million impairment charge recorded to cost of software, which resulted in negative gross margins at the division for the year ended March 31, 2014.

During the year ended March 31, 2014, hardware and third-party software constituted a slightly lower 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 20.4% of consolidated revenue in the year ended March 31, 2014 compared to 18.3% during the same period last year. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $84.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2013 to $90.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 8.0%, or approximately $6.7 million. Of the $6.7 million increase, approximately $2.3 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 $0.8 million in the NextGen Division and $3.2 million for the Hospital Solutions Division for the year ended March 31, 2014 are primarily due to headcount additions and increased payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services. The QSI Dental Division experienced a slight $0.4 million increase in payroll and benefits expense compared to the same prior year period. The amount of share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was not significant for both the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Other cost of revenue, which primarily consists of third-party annual license, hosting costs, third party implementation and consulting services, and outsourcing costs, decreased slightly to 10.2% of total revenue during the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 10.5% for the same period a year ago.

As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit percentage decreased to 50.5% for the year ended March 31, 2014 versus 58.8% for the same prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2014 increased 0.6% to $149.2 million as compared to $148.4 million for the same prior year period. The increase in these expenses resulted primarily from:

• $2.8 million increase in rent and other facilities costs;

• $2.4 million increase in salaries and related benefit expenses primarily as a result of headcount additions;

• $1.6 million increase in equipment depreciation expense;

• $1.3 million increase in legal expenses;

• $0.9 million net increase in other selling and administrative expenses, partially offset by

• $5.4 million decrease in bad debt expense as a result of improved collections and fewer customers with specific reserves for bad debt; and

• $2.7 million decrease in sales commissions as a result of lower sales.

Share-based compensation expense was approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 32.2% in the year ended March 31, 2013 to 33.6% in the year ended March 31, 2014.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $41.5 million and $30.9 million, respectively. Research and development costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 9.3% in the year ended March 31, 2014

40

from 6.7% for the prior year period. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to the reduction in capitalized software costs in the current period resulting from the recent releases of the latest versions of ambulatory software products, a trend towards shorter development cycles resulting in lower rates of software development costs capitalization, the inclusion of research and development costs for Mirth, as well as the continued investment in enhancements to our specialty template development, preparation for ICD-10 requirements, new products including NextGen Knowledge Base Model ("KBM"), NextGen Mobile, NextGen NextPen, NextGen Community Connectivity consisting of NextGen HIE, NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen Health Quality Measures (“HQM”), and other enhancements to our existing products.

Additions to capitalized software costs offset increases in research and development costs. For the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our additions to capitalized software were $20.8 million and $29.5 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 hospital products. The decrease in capitalized software added in the year ended March 31, 2014 is primarily the result of the recent releases of the latest versions of ambulatory software products and a trend towards shorter development cycles, as mentioned above, as well as the cessation of software development costs capitalization at the Hospital Solutions Division as a result of the recent impairment charge. For the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, total research and development expenditures including costs expensed and costs capitalized were $62.3 million and $60.4 million, respectively. 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 years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization included in operating expense related to acquired intangible assets for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $4.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets. Refer to "Overview of Our Results - Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets" above for details on the $26.0 million impairment charge recorded in the current period of which $5.9 million was recorded to operating expenses and $20.1 million was recorded to cost of software revenue.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $7.3 million and $26.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 31.8% and 38.0% for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective rate for the year ended March 31, 2014 decreased as compared to the prior year period due to a net benefit from the federal research and development tax credit and a benefit in qualified production activities deduction resulting from reduced profits in fiscal 2014. The federal research and development tax credit statute expired on December 31, 2011 and was retroactively enacted through December 31, 2013 in January 2013.

During the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized research and development tax credits of approximately $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company also claimed the qualified production activities deduction under Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) of approximately $3.2 million and $9.0 million (pre-tax) during the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Research and development credits and the qualified production activities income deduction calculated by us involve certain assumptions and judgments regarding qualification of expenses under the relevant tax code provision. We expect to receive the full benefit of the deferred tax assets recorded with the exception of a specific state tax credit for which we have recorded a valuation allowance.

Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012

Net Income. Our net income for the year ended March 31, 2013 was $42.7 million, or $0.72 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. In comparison, we earned $75.7 million, or $1.29 per share on a basic and $1.28 per share on a fully diluted basis for the year ended March 31, 2012. The change in net income for the year ended March 31, 2013 was primarily attributed to the following:

• a 35.0% decrease in consolidated system sales gross profit as a result of reduced software revenue;

• an increase in recurring revenue based gross profit, including maintenance, RCM and EDI which grew 12.1%, 40.9% and 26.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year period;

• an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles;

• a $17.4 million impairment of goodwill relating to the Hospital Solutions Division; and

• a decrease in the provision for income taxes primarily due to the extension of the research and development tax credit in the current year, as well as lower taxable income in comparison to the prior year period.

Revenue. Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2013 increased 7.1% to $460.2 million from $429.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2012. NextGen Division revenue increased 5.8% to $344.3 million from $325.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2013, QSI Dental Division revenue increased 2.0% to $20.0 million from $19.6 million, and the RCM Services Division revenue increased 28.2% to $64.5 million from $50.3 million. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a decrease in revenue for the Hospital Solutions Division, which decreased 8.8% to $31.4 million from $34.5 million in the same prior year period.

System Sales. Revenue earned from Company-wide sales of systems for the year ended March 31, 2013 decreased 16.9% to $123.6 million from $148.8 million in the prior year period.

Our decrease in revenue from sales of systems was principally the result of a 16.5% decrease in category revenue at our NextGen Division and a 21.3% decrease at our Hospital Solutions Division. NextGen Division sales in this category decreased $20.5 million to $103.5 million during the year ended March 31, 2013 from $124.1 million during the same prior year period while the Hospital Solutions Division delivered a $3.8 million decrease in category revenue to $14.0 million in the year ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $17.8 million in the same prior

41

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. Implementation revenue is typically earned and recognized in the quarters following the sale of the software. Implementation revenue grew for the year ended March 31, 2013 as the Company was implementing system sales from prior periods. Accordingly, implementation revenue grew in fiscal 2013 despite the decline in system sales.

The following table breaks down our reported system sales into software, hardware and third-party software, and implementation and training services components on a consolidated and divisional basis for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

NextGen Division software license revenue decreased 28.5% in the year ended March 31, 2013 versus the same prior year period. The Division's software revenue accounted for 69.4% of divisional system sales revenue during the year ended March 31, 2013 compared to 81.0% during the same prior year period. 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.

During the year ended March 31, 2013, 5.5% of the NextGen Division's system sales revenue was represented by hardware and third-party software compared to 3.9% during the same prior year period. The number of clients who purchase hardware and third-party software and the dollar amount of hardware and third-party software revenue fluctuates each period 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 39.0% in the year ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same prior year period. Implementation and training revenue related to system sales at the Hospital Solutions Division increased 16.4%, in the year ended March 31, 2013 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 year ended March 31, 2013 versus the same prior year period in order to accommodate the increased amount of implementation services sold in conjunction with software sales. It should be noted however that 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, specifically in the NextGen Division. We have historically relied on third parties for a portion of our implementations in order to manage customer requirements. The Hospital Solutions Division required a greater reliance on third parties to handle increased demands for implementation services, especially in the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Maintenance, EDI, RCM and Other Services. For the year ended March 31, 2013, our company-wide revenue from maintenance, EDI, RCM and other services grew 19.8% to $336.6 million from $281.0 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 an increase in RCM revenue from the RCM Services Division.

Total NextGen Division maintenance revenue for the year ended March 31, 2013 grew 14.9% to $133.9 million from $116.5 million for the same prior year period while NextGen Division EDI revenue grew 22.8% to $54.3 million compared to $44.2 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 29.4% to $52.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2013 from $40.6 million in the same prior year period. Other services revenue benefited from a strong increase in consulting revenue to existing NextGen Division customers.

The Hospital Solutions Division maintenance, EDI and other services revenue for the year ended March 31, 2013 increased 4.4% as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to an increase in other services revenue. For the year ended March 31, 2013, RCM revenue for the RCM Services Division grew $13.6 million, or 29.9%, to $59.2 million compared to $45.6 million in the same prior year

42

period. RCM revenue was positively impacted by the acquisition of Matrix which contributed $12.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2013.

Maintenance revenue for the NextGen Division increased by $17.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2013 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 and existing clients.

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 attributable to both organic growth as well as the addition in revenue from the Matrix acquisition. Growth in other services revenue is primarily due to increases in third-party annual software licenses, consulting services, SaaS fees, patient portal subscription fees and hosting services revenue.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2013 increased 25.4% to $189.7 million from $151.2 million in the same prior year period and the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 41.2% from 35.2% 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.

(1) Relates to the amortization of acquired software technology intangible assets

Gross profit margins for the QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division and the Hospital Solutions Division decreased for the year ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a significant decrease in software sales during the current year. Gross profit margin in the RCM Services Division increased to 30.2% for the year ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 29.3% for the same prior year period primarily due to a significant increase in recurring revenue during the current year.

During the year ended March 31, 2013, hardware and third-party software constituted a slightly 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 18.3% of consolidated revenue in the year ended March 31, 2013 compared to 17.2% during the same prior year period. The absolute level of consolidated payroll and benefit expenses grew from $73.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2011 to $84.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 13.8%, or approximately $10.2 million. Of the $10.2 million increase, approximately $6.0 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 $1.5 million in the NextGen Division and $3.2 million for the Hospital Solutions Division for the year ended March 31, 2013 were primarily due to headcount additions and increased payroll and benefits expense associated with delivering products and services. The QSI Dental Division experienced a slight decrease in payroll and benefits expense compared to the same prior year period. The amount of share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue was not significant for both the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Other cost of revenue, which primarily consists of third-party annual license, hosting costs, third party implementation and consulting services, and outsourcing costs, increased to 13.4% of total revenue during the year ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 9.9% for the same prior year period. The Hospital Solutions Division utilized third parties to perform a larger portion of implementation services in fiscal 2013, resulting in higher other costs compared to the prior year.

As a result of the foregoing events and activities, our gross profit percentage decreased to 58.8% for the year ended March 31, 2013 versus 64.8% for the same prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2013 increased 15.1% to $148.4 million as compared to $128.8 million for the same prior year period. The increase in these expenses resulted primarily from:

• $6.9 million increase in salaries and related benefit expenses primarily as a result of headcount additions;

• $1.6 million increase in support services, depreciation and maintenance fees related to the April 1, 2012 go-live of our ERP system;

• $1.8 million of acquisition related expenses, including fair value adjustments;

• $1.2 million increase in bad debt expense;

• $0.7 million increase in sales commissions;

• $1.3 million of proxy contest related expenses; and

• $6.0 million net increase in other selling and administrative expenses.

Share-based compensation expense was approximately $1.9 million and $2.9 million for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in the aforementioned amounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 30.0% in the year ended March 31, 2012 to 32.2% in the year ended March 31, 2013.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $30.9 million and $31.4 million, respectively. Research and development costs as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.7% in the year ended March 31, 2013 from 7.3% for the prior year period. 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 year, 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 HIE (formerly Community Health Solution), NextGen Patient Portal (“NextMD.com”), and NextGen HQM, and other enhancements to our existing products. Additions to capitalized software costs offset increases in research and development costs. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, our additions to capitalized software were $29.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively, as we continued to enhance our software to meet the Meaningful Use definitions under the ARRA as well as further integrate both ambulatory and hospital products. The increase in capitalized software added in the year ended March 31, 2013 included $3.0 million paid for the source code of a pharmacy system which supports customers in the Hospital Solutions Division as well as greater investment in this division. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, total research and development expenditures including costs expensed and costs capitalized were $60.4 million and $44.5 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense included in research and development costs was not significant for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization included in operating expense related to acquired intangible assets for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Impairment of Goodwill. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the operating performance of the Hospital reporting unit weakened, relative to the historic performance of this division. Revenues and operating results further declined during the third quarter of 2013. Accordingly, we assessed the conditions giving rise to the operating performance and evaluated the carrying amount of Hospital's goodwill balance. At such time, we concluded that the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount of the related goodwill, and therefore the value of the goodwill required no impairment. During the latter part of the quarter ended March 31, 2013, however, we reassessed the short-term and longer-term business strategies and operating expectations relating to the Hospital Solutions Division. From this assessment, we concluded that it was necessary to re-evaluate Hospital's goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

45

Based upon the above, the Company performed step one of the goodwill impairment test and determined that the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit, which was based on a combination of discounted cash flow analysis and market approach, was lower than the carrying value. The failure of step one triggered step two of the impairment test.

As a result of the step two analysis, the Company determined the implied fair value of the Hospital reporting unit's goodwill and concluded that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value. Based upon the resulting computations, an impairment charge of $17.4 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $26.2 million and $40.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 38.0% and 35.0% for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective rate for the year ended March 31, 2013 increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the non-deductibility of $5.1 million (tax effected) relating to the impairment of goodwill. Partially offsetting this impact are increased benefits to the overall effective tax rate from the state effective tax rate, research and development credits and qualified production activities deductions.

During the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized research and development tax credits of approximately $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company also claimed the qualified production activities deduction under Section 199 of the IRC of approximately $9.0 million and $10.0 million (pre-tax) during the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Research and development credits and the qualified production activities income deduction calculated by us involve certain assumptions and judgments regarding qualification of expenses under the relevant tax code provision.

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 as adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses, such as impairment charges, 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 years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Net income	$	15,680		$	42,724		$	75,657
Non-cash expenses	54,791			42,824			14,932
Cash from net income (as adjusted)	70,471			85,548			90,589
Change in accounts receivable	40,548			(7,988		)	(10,389		)
Change in other assets and liabilities	(6,879		)	(9,519		)	(2,095		)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	104,140		$	68,041		$	78,105

Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $104.1 million, $68.0 million and $78.1 million, respectively. Cash from operations increased significantly for the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year primarily resulting from a $40.5 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $11.2 million reduction in net income taxes paid, partially offset by a decrease in our cash from net income and changes in other assets and liabilities. The increase in cash flows attributable to accounts receivable activity is primarily due to the enhanced capabilities of our enterprise resource planning software, which resulted in increased effectiveness of our collections activities, and additional emphasis on working capital management in the current period as reflected by a reduction of days sales outstanding (“DSO”) in comparison to the prior year period. Specifically, DSO decreased to 87 days for the year ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 122 days in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

46

Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $63.8 million, $53.6 million and $34.9 million, respectively. The $10.2 million increase in net cash used in investing activities during March 31, 2014 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the $35.0 million of cash paid for the acquisition of Mirth, partially offset by a decrease in additions to capitalized software and equipment and improvements in the current year and cash paid for the acquisitions of Poseidon and Matrix in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $43.2 million, $42.9 million and $25.4 million, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2014, we received proceeds of $2.2 million from the exercise of stock options, paid $42.2 million in dividends to shareholders, and paid $3.4 million in contingent consideration related to acquisitions compared to proceeds of $0.9 million from the exercise of stock options, payment of $41.5 million in dividends to shareholders and payment of $2.4 million in contingent consideration during the year ended March 31, 2013 and proceeds of $12.8 million from the exercise of stock options, payment of $41.0 million in dividends to shareholders and payment of $1.3 million in contingent consideration during the year ended March 31, 2012.

We recorded a reduction in our tax benefit from share-based compensation of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $4.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to tax deductions received from stock option exercises. The benefit was recorded as additional paid in capital.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

At March 31, 2014, we had combined cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $113.8 million, compared to $118.0 million as of March 31, 2013. This decrease principally reflects the $35.0 million expended for the purchase of Mirth in September 2013, mitigated by the continued decrease in DSO and emphasis on working capital management in the current year.

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. Such expenditures will be funded from cash on hand and cash flows from operations.

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, Certificates of Deposit and short term Municipal Bonds with maturities of 365 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 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.

In January 2007, our Board of Directors adopted a practice whereby we intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock, subject to further review and approval, sufficiency of funds and the establishment of record and distribution dates by our Board of Directors prior to the declaration of each such quarterly dividend. We anticipate that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors pursuant to this practice, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each of the months of January, April, July and October. The Board of Directors has historically shown a strong commitment to the payment of a regular dividend and will continue to evaluate the continued payment of dividends based on our operating cash flows and future capital requirements.

On May 28, 2014, 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 June 13, 2014 with an expected distribution date on or about July 3, 2014.

Our Board of Directors declared the following dividends during the periods presented (stock split adjusted):

Management believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand at March 31, 2014, together with its cash flows from operations 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 the next twelve months. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the strategic use of our cash towards payment of dividends in light of both working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for a discussion of new accounting standards.

ITEM 7A. 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.

Although we have international operations, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations have not been material to our financial position or operating results.

ITEM 9A. 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 March 31, 2014, the end of the period covered by this Report (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.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures, that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

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

Management of the Company has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 in making our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2014.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report contained in Item 15 of Part IV of this Report, "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules."

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On September 9, 2013, we completed our acquisition of Mirth Corporation, now a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 1.4% and 1.7%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended March 31, 2014. In conducting our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, we have elected to exclude Mirth Corporation from our evaluation for fiscal year 2014 as permitted under existing SEC rules. We are currently in the process of integrating Mirth Corporation's historical internal controls over financial reporting with the rest of the Company. The integration may lead to changes in future periods, but we do not expect these changes to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. We expect to complete this integration in fiscal year 2015.

During the year ended March 31, 2014, there were no other changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.

49

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Quality Systems, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quality Systems, Inc. and its subsidiariesat March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2014in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2), presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

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

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, management has excluded Mirth Corporation from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2014. We have also excluded Mirth Corporation from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Mirth Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 1.4% and 1.7%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended March 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014 and 2013

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

1. Organization of Business

Description of Business

Quality Systems, Inc. ("QSI") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate as four divisions (each, a "Division") 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, QSI opened a captive entity in India called Quality Systems India Healthcare Private Limited (“QSIH”) (collectively, with QSI and the four Divisions, the "Company"). The Company primarily derives 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”). The Company's systems and services provide its 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 its proprietary software in combination with third-party hardware and software solutions, the Company's products enable the integration of a variety of administrative and clinical information operations.

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, the Company capitalized on the increasing focus on medical cost containment and further expanded its information processing systems to serve the ambulatory market. In the mid-1990’s, the Company made two acquisitions that accelerated its penetration of the ambulatory market and formed the basis for the NextGen Division. In the last few years, the Company acquired several companies as part of its strategy to enhance its EDI and RCM services capabilities as well as expand into the small and specialty hospital market. More recently, the Company acquired Mirth Corporation ("Mirth"), which operates under the NextGen Division and is expected to enhance the Company's current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broaden its accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. Today, the Company serves the dental, ambulatory, hospital and RCM services markets through its QSI Dental Division, NextGen Division, Hospital Solutions Division and RCM Services Division.

The QSI Dental Division, co-located with the Corporate Headquarters in Irvine, California, currently focuses on developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental organizations located throughout the US.

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 Hospital Solutions Division, with its primary location in Austin, Texas, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for rural and community hospitals.

The RCM Services Division, with locations in St. Louis, Missouri, North Canton, Ohio, South Jordan, Utah and Hunt Valley, Maryland, focuses primarily on providing physician practices with RCM services, primarily billing and collection services for medical practices. This Division combines a web-delivered Software as a Service ("SaaS") model and the NextGen® Practice Management ("PM") software platform to execute its service offerings.

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.

The Divisions have historically operated 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 the Divisions. In an effort to encourage this cross selling of its products and services between Divisions, the Company is in the process of further integrating its ambulatory and hospital products to provide a more robust and comprehensive platform to offer its customers. The Divisions also share the resources of the Company's “corporate office,” which includes a variety of accounting and other administrative functions.

Acquisitions

On September 9, 2013, the Company acquired Mirth, a global leader in health information technology that helps clients achieve interoperability. Operating results associated with Mirth products and services are included in the NextGen Division. The acquisition of Mirth will enhance the Company's current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broaden its accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. Mirth offers a wide variety of products and services utilized by both users of Mirth open code technology as well as a large base of domestic and international paying customers.

Stock Split

On July 27, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the Company's common stock and a proportional increase in the number of our common shares authorized from 50 million to 100 million. Each shareholder 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 October 26, 2011 and trading began on a split-adjusted basis on October 27, 2011. All share and per share amounts in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the two-for-one split of our common stock.

2. 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”). Mirth is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition (September 9, 2013). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Business Segments. The Company has prepared operating segment information based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company’s operations for making internal operating decisions. See Note 14.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

References to amounts in the consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except shares and per share data, unless otherwise specified.

Revenue Recognition. The Company generates revenue from the sale of licensing rights to its software products directly to end-users and value-added resellers ("VARs") The Company also generates revenue from sales of hardware and third-party software, implementation and training, electronic data interchange (“EDI”), revenue cycle management ("RCM"), post-contract support (maintenance) and other services, including subscriptions and hosting services, 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 the price charged when the same element is sold separately. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly or annually depending on the nature of the product or service. The Company generally establishes VSOE for the related undelivered elements based on the bell-shaped curve method. VSOE is established on maintenance for the Company's largest clients 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 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 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.

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 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. If 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.

63

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 divided 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 the 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, subscriptions, hosting services, SaaS fees and other services revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash, money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The Company had cash deposits at U.S. banks and financial institutions at March 31, 2014 of which $102,119 was in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250 per owner. The Company is exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of nonperformance by the institutions; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these institutions.

The money market fund in which the Company holds a portion of its cash invests in only investment grade money market instruments from a variety of industries, and therefore bears relatively low market risk.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash consists of cash which is being held by the Company acting as agent for the disbursement of certain state social services programs. The Company records an offsetting “Care Services liability” (see also Note 9) when it initially receives such cash from the government social service programs and relieves both restricted cash and the Care Services liability when amounts are disbursed. The Company earns an administrative fee which is based on a percentage of funds disbursed on behalf of certain government social service programs.

Marketable Securities. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value, based on quoted market rates when observable or valuation analysis when appropriate. Unrealized gains and losses, are included in shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on investments are included in other income (expense).

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company provides credit terms typically ranging from thirty days to less than twelve months for most system and maintenance contract sales and generally does not require collateral. The Company performs credit evaluations of its clients and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses. Reserves for potential credit losses are determined by establishing both specific and general reserves. Specific reserves are based on management’s estimate of the probability of collection for certain troubled accounts. General reserves are established based on the Company’s historical experience of bad debt expense and the aging of the Company’s accounts receivable balances, net of deferred revenue and specifically reserved accounts. Accounts are written off as uncollectible only after the Company has expended extensive collection efforts.

Inventories. Inventories consist of hardware for specific client orders and spare parts and are valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management provides a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value.

Equipment and Improvements. Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve service potential or extend economic life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives generally have the following ranges:    

l	Computer equipment	3-5 years
l	Furniture and fixtures	5-7 years
l	Leasehold improvements	lesser of lease term or estimated useful life of asset

Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are capitalized, stated at cost, and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is typically seven years. Application development stage costs generally include costs associated with internal-use software configuration, coding, installation and testing. Costs of significant upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized, whereas costs incurred for maintenance and minor upgrades and enhancements are expensed as incurred.

Software Development Costs. Development costs, consisting primarily of employee salaries and benefits, incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional external software development

64

costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is typically three years. The Company provides support services on the current and prior two versions of its software. Management performs ongoing reviews of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $9,075 related to the write down of capitalized software development costs at the Hospital Solutions Division, which reduced the net carrying amount of capitalized software costs associated with the division to zero. See Note 6 for additional information.

Business Combinations. In accordance with the accounting for business combinations, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. Management estimates the fair value of assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses depending on the nature of the assets being sold. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which could affect the accuracy of our fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies.

Goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during 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.

During the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company recorded charges of $4,342 and $17,400, respectively, related to impairment of the goodwill at the Hospital Solutions Division, which reduced the amount of goodwill associated with the division to zero. See Note 6 for additional information.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names and contracts and certain software technology. These intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are stated net of accumulated amortization. The Company currently amortizes the intangible assets over periods ranging from six months to nine years using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Also, see discussion below regarding the recoverability of long-lived assets, which includes definite-lived intangible assets. During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $12,554 related to impairment of the customer relationships and software technology intangible assets at the Hospital Solutions Division, which reduced the net carrying value of such intangible assets associated with the division to zero. See Note 6 for additional information.

Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets at least annually or whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. If the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets are less than the carrying value of such assets, impairment has been incurred and a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived assets to fair value, which is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows.

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred and has determined that there was no impairment to its long-lived assets as of March 31, 2014. In addition to the recoverability assessment, the Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated lives of its long-lived assets.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided based on current taxable income and the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future state and federal tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes. At each reporting period, management assesses the realizable value of deferred tax assets based on, among other things, estimates of future taxable income and adjusts the related valuation allowance as necessary. Management makes a number of assumptions and estimates in determining the appropriate amount of expense to record for income taxes. These assumptions and estimates consider the taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates as well as current tax regulations. Accruals are established for estimates of tax effects for certain transactions and future projected profitability of the Company’s businesses based on management’s interpretation of existing facts and circumstances.

Self-Insurance Liabilities. The Company accrues for estimated self-insurance costs and uninsured exposures based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported as of each balance sheet date. However, it is possible that recorded accruals may not be adequate to cover the future payment of claims. Adjustments, if any, to estimated accruals resulting from ultimate claim payments will be reflected in earnings during the periods in which such adjustments are determined. Periodically, the Company reevaluates the adequacy of the accruals by comparing amounts accrued on the balance sheets for anticipated losses to an updated actuarial loss forecasts and third-party claim administrator loss estimates and makes adjustments to the accruals as needed. The self-insurance accrual is included in other current liabilities. If any of the factors that contribute to the overall cost of insurance claims were to change, the actual amount incurred for the self-insurance liabilities would be directly affected.

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the self-insurance accrual was approximately $2,090 and $1,336, respectively, and is included in other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If any of the factors that contribute to the overall cost of insurance claims were to change, the actual amount incurred for the self-insurance liabilities would be directly affected.

65

Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company does not have any direct-response advertising. Advertising costs, which include trade shows and conventions, were approximately $5,600, $6,499 and $6,254 for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Marketing Assistance Agreements. The Company has entered into marketing assistance agreements with certain 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.

Earnings per Share. The Company provides dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share (“EPS”). Shares discussed below are in thousands.

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Net income	$	15,680	$	42,724	$	75,657
Basic net income per share:
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Basic	59,918		59,392		58,729
Basic net income per common share	$	0.26	$	0.72	$	1.29
Net income	$	15,680	$	42,724	$	75,657
Diluted net income per share:
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Basic	59,918		59,392		58,729
Effect of potentially dilutive securities	216		70		320
Weighted-average shares outstanding — Diluted	60,134		59,462		59,049
Diluted net income per common share	$	0.26	$	0.72	$	1.28

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include 1,355, 966 and 335 options for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Expected term is estimated using historical exercise experience. Volatility is estimated by using the weighted-average historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, which approximates expected volatility. The risk free rate is the implied yield available on the U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equal to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is the average dividend rate during a period equal to the expected term of the option. Those inputs are then entered into the Black Scholes model to determine the estimated fair value. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized ratably as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Share-based compensation is adjusted on a monthly basis for changes to estimated forfeitures based on a review of historical forfeiture activity. To the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate, share-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly. The effect of the forfeiture adjustments for years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was not significant.

The following table shows total share-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statements of income for years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Costs and expenses:
Cost of revenue	$	348		$	201		$	261
Research and development costs	323			230			184
Selling, general and administrative	1,819			1,896			2,876
Total share-based compensation	2,490			2,327			3,321
Income tax benefit	(794		)	(726		)	(1,236		)
Decrease in net income	$	1,696		$	1,601		$	2,085

Sales Taxes. The Company records revenue net of sales tax obligation in the consolidated statements of income.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, vendor specific objective evidence, self-insurance accruals and

66

income taxes and related credits and deductions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

New 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 February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The new standard requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income by component. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but may have an effect on the required disclosures for future reporting periods.

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $103,145 and $105,999, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of less than 90 days. The money market fund in which the Company holds a portion of its cash invests in only investment grade money market instruments from a variety of industries, and therefore bears relatively low market risk.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013:

	Balance at March 31, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

____________________

(1) Cash and cash equivalents consists of money market funds.

(2) Marketable securities consists of fixed-income securities, including certificates of deposit and municipal 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

67

liability related to the acquisitions of Sphere Health Systems, Inc., IntraNexus, Inc., and Mirth were estimated based on the probability of achieving certain business milestones and/or management's forecast of expected revenues.

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 March 31, 2014:

	Total Liabilities

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 year ended March 31, 2014, there were no adjustments to fair value of such assets, except for the impairment charge related to the Hospital Solutions Division's goodwill and other assets (see Note 6) and the intangible assets acquired from Mirth (see Note 5).

5. Business Combinations

On September 9, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Mirth, a global leader in health information technology that helps clients achieve interoperability. The acquisition will enhance the Company’s current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broaden its accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. The Mirth purchase price totaled $56,222, which includes share-based contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $13,307 payable over a three year period subject to achievement of certain strategic milestones. The share-based contingent consideration was adjusted by a $5,239 fair value discount, which is being amortized over the three year achievement period. The goodwill arising from the acquisition of Mirth represents the opportunity for the Company to sell Mirth-powered health information technology solutions as a complement to its other products as well as other expected market participant synergies going forward and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a period of 15 years. Mirth operates under the NextGen Division.

The Company accounted for the Mirth acquisition as a purchase business combination. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed represent management’s estimate of fair value. As additional information became available during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, the Company recorded a $215 adjustment to goodwill during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 relating to a change in estimated working capital and a $712 adjustment to goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 relating a change in estimates to the fair value of certain current assets.

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 the Mirth acquisition during the year ended March 31, 2014 is summarized as follows:

	Mirth
Cash paid	$	35,033
Common stock issued at fair value	7,882
Contingent consideration	13,307
Total purchase price	$	56,222

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation for the Mirth acquisition:

68

	Mirth
Fair value of the net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Current assets (including accounts receivable of $3,939)	$	4,231
Equipment and improvements	822
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(764		)
Deferred revenues	(5,802		)
Total net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed	(1,513		)
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired:
Trade name	1,350
Customer relationships	2,800
Software technology	22,200
Goodwill	31,385
Total identifiable intangible assets acquired	57,735
Total purchase price	$	56,222

The pro forma effects of the Mirth acquisition would not have been material to the Company’s results of operations and are therefore not presented.

6. Goodwill

The Company does not amortize goodwill as it has been determined to have an indefinite useful life.

Goodwill by division consists of the following:

	March 31, 2013		Acquisitions		Impairment			March 31, 2014
QSI Dental Division (1)	$	7,289	$	—	$	—		$	7,289
NextGen Division	1,840		31,385		—			33,225
Hospital Solutions Division	4,342		—		(4,342		)	—
RCM Services Division	32,290		—		—			32,290
Total goodwill	$	45,761	$	31,385	$	(4,342	)	$	72,804

(1) QSI Dental Division goodwill is presented on a basis consistent with that of the management reporting structures within the Company.  For the purposes of testing goodwill for impairment annually and as otherwise may be required; however, the QSI Dental Division goodwill is allocated to all business units that derive cash flows from the products associated with the acquired goodwill.  For all periods presented in this report, the allocation resulted in substantially all of such goodwill being ascribed to the NextGen Division.

Approximately 70% of the goodwill balance as of March 31, 2014 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over the periods prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").

As reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, a goodwill impairment charge of $17,400 was recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 relating to the Hospital Solutions Division (the "Hospital reporting unit" or "Hospital"), which reduced the book value of goodwill associated with the division to $4,342. At that time management concluded there was no impairment of intangibles or other assets.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, management identified additional factors, including a further decline in revenues and operating results, key management turnover and other qualitative indicators of potential impairment, which warranted a reassessment of the Hospital reporting unit's multi-year forecast. Based upon such reassessment, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, management re-evaluated the Hospital reporting unit's residual goodwill balance for potential impairment. In the course of such assessment, other long-term assets of the Hospital reporting unit were also evaluated for potential impairment as described below.

The Company performed step one of the goodwill impairment test to estimate the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow analysis considering various scenarios as well as market approach. The step one analysis indicated that the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit was lower than the carrying value. The failure of step one triggered step two of the impairment test, which required the Company to determine the implied fair value of the Hospital reporting unit's assets and liabilities in the same manner of determining such amounts in a business combination.

Based on the Company's assessment of the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit's assets and liabilities, the Company concluded that the net carrying amount of all assets and liabilities approximated their respective fair values, other than capitalized software development costs,

69

customer relationships intangible assets and acquired software technology intangible assets. The capitalized software development costs and intangible assets were deemed to have zero fair value based on the following analysis:

• Capitalized software development costs - such costs represent the capitalized portion of research and development costs applicable to the Hospital reporting unit, net of cumulative amortization of such costs. Management performed an assessment of the recoverability of such capitalized software costs and determined that the capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on a negative net realizable value expected to be generated from the Hospital reporting unit's software. As a result, the remaining net capitalized software costs of $9,075 were deemed to be impaired and were fully written off.

• Intangible assets - the Company determined that the acquired software technology intangible asset class represents the primary long-term asset of the Hospital reporting unit. The Company then estimated the expected future undiscounted cash flows associated with this asset class, including the residual value of other long-term assets of this business unit. Based upon such cash flow estimates, the Company deemed the customer relationships and acquired software technology intangible assets to have no fair value, and an impairment charge of $12,554 was recognized to reduce the carrying value of this asset class to zero.

The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. As a result of the step two analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the reporting unit's implied fair value and that the implied fair value of the goodwill balance was zero as of the measurement date. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment charge of $4,342 was recognized to reduce the value of Hospital goodwill to zero as of March 31, 2014.

Key assumptions underlying the estimation of the fair value of the Hospital reporting unit include: a) the near-term continuation of recent results of operations for the Division, b) management's detailed reassessment of the strategies of the Hospital reporting unit and the actions required to achieve those strategies, and c) the technology roadmap pertinent to the Hospital reporting unit. The Company remains committed to the hospital market and continues to invest in implementation and training, infrastructure and support, customer service and software development. The Company intends to maintain the sufficiency of these investments while effectively managing the operating efficiencies of the Hospital reporting unit.

In aggregate, the Hospital reporting unit's impairment charge relating to goodwill, capitalized software development costs, customer relationships and acquired software technology intangible assets was $25,971 for fiscal year 2014, as summarized below:

	Goodwill		Intangible Assets		Capitalized Software Costs		Total
Cost of revenue:
Software and hardware - Hospital Solutions Division	$	—	$	—	$	9,075	$	9,075
Software and hardware - unallocated corporate expenses	—		11,023		—		11,023
Total impairment in cost of revenue	—		11,023		9,075		20,098
Operating expenses:
Impairment of goodwill and other assets - unallocated corporate expenses	4,342		1,531		—		5,873
Total impairment in operating expenses	4,342		1,531		—		5,873
Total impairment of goodwill and other assets	$	4,342	$	12,554	$	9,075	$	25,971

Although goodwill and acquired intangible assets are allocated to the Hospital Solutions Division for the purposes of impairment testing, such assets are deemed corporate assets and the related impairment charges for such assets are recorded as unallocated corporate expenses. The classification of the impairment charge between cost of revenue and operating expenses is consistent with the historic accounting for costs associated with each impaired asset class.

7. Intangible Assets

In connection with the Mirth acquisition, the Company recorded $26,350 of intangible assets related to trade name, customer relationships and software technology. The Company is amortizing the trade name and customer relationships over five years and the software technology over seven years. The weighted average amortization period for the total amount of intangible assets acquired is 6.7 years.

Approximately 95% of the acquired intangible assets are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over the periods prescribed by the IRC.

The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets, other than capitalized software development costs, are summarized as follows:

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed at the federal statutory rate as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		2012
Current:
Federal income tax statutory rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%

Effective income tax rate	31.8	%	38.0	%	35.0	%

During the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recognized federal research and development tax credits of $1,196, $1,461 and $1,055, respectively, and state research and development tax credits of approximately $251, $145 and $165, respectively. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) statute related to research and development credits expired on December 31, 2011 and was retroactively reinstated through December 31, 2013 in January 2013. The Company's research and development credits claimed for the year ended March 31, 2014 represent credits for the nine-month period from April 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

The Company also claimed the qualified production activities deduction under Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) for $3,189, $9,032, and $10,025 (pre-tax) during the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The research and development credits and the qualified production activities income deduction calculated by the Company involve certain assumptions and judgments regarding qualification of expenses under the relevant tax code provisions.

The net deferred tax assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consist of the following:

The deferred tax assets and liabilities have been shown net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on the long-term or short-term nature of the items that give rise to the deferred amount. The Company expects to receive the full benefit of the deferred tax assets recorded with the exception of a specific state tax credit for which the Company has recorded a valuation allowance.

Uncertain tax positions

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which is recorded in income taxes payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, is as follows:

Balance at March 31, 2012	$	413
Additions for prior year tax positions	455
Reductions for prior year tax positions	(135		)
Balance at March 31, 2013	$	733
Additions for current/prior year tax positions	405
Reductions for prior year tax positions	(263		)
Balance at March 31, 2014	$	875

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would decrease the income tax provision is $875.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize estimated interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in general and administrative expenses. The Company had approximately $80 and $118 of accrued interest related to income tax matters at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No penalties were accrued.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2013. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or local income tax examinations for tax years before 2009. 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.

11. Employee Benefit Plans

75

The Company has a 401(k) plan available to substantially all of its employees. Participating employees may defer up to the IRS limit based on the IRC per year. The annual contribution is determined by a formula set by the Company’s Board of Directors and may include matching and/or discretionary contributions. The amount of the Company match is discretionary and subject to change. The retirement plans may be amended or discontinued at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Contributions of $820, $889 and $630 were made by the Company to the 401(k) plan for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company has a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferral Plan”) for the benefit of those employees who qualify. Participating employees may defer up to 75% of their salary and 100% of their annual bonus for a Deferral Plan year. In addition, the Company may, but is not required to, make contributions into the Deferral Plan on behalf of participating employees, and the amount of the Company match is discretionary and subject to change. Each employee’s deferrals together with earnings thereon are accrued as part of the long-term liabilities of the Company. Investment decisions are made by each participating employee from a family of mutual funds. Deferred compensation liability was $4,809 and $3,809 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. To offset this liability, the Company has purchased life insurance policies on some of the participants. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies and the cash values are intended to produce cash needed to help make the benefit payments to employees when they retire or otherwise leave the Company. The Company intends to hold the life insurance policy until the death of the plan participant. The net cash surrender value of the life insurance policies for deferred compensation was $4,865 and $3,728 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The values of the life insurance policies and the related Company obligation are included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in long-term other assets and long-term deferred compensation, respectively. The Company made contributions of $62, $49 and $66 to the Deferral Plan for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

12. Share-Based Awards

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 ten 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 March 31, 2014, there were 20,000 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 ten 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 March 31, 2014, there were 1,350,101 outstanding options and 2,632,977 shares available for future grant related to the 2005 Plan.

A summary of stock option transactions during the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

76

	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of share-based compensation with the following assumptions:

	Year Ended	Year Ended	Year Ended
	March 31, 2014	March 31, 2013	March 31, 2012
Expected life	4.9 years	5.0 years	4.3 years
Expected volatility	43.4% - 43.7%	41.3% - 45.1%	41.2%
Expected dividends	3.1% - 3.9%	2.4% - 4.0%	1.6%
Risk-free rate	1.0% - 1.5%	0.7% - 0.8%	1.8%

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $5.20, $8.22 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 8.6%, 8.0% and 4.1% for employee options for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and 0.0% for director options for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Forfeiture rates will be adjusted over the requisite service period when actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the estimate.

During the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, a total of 469,000, 556,500 and 459,400 options, respectively, 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 the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

77

(1) Options vest in equal annual installments on each grant anniversary date beginning one year after the grant date.

Performance-Based Awards

On May 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved its fiscal year 2014 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 210,000 are reserved for the Company’s named executive officers and 390,000 for non-executive employees of the Company. Under the program, executives are eligible to receive cash bonuses and options based on meeting certain target increases in revenue, EPS and operating income growth during fiscal year 2014. Under the program, the non-executive employees are eligible to receive options based on meeting certain target increases in revenue and EPS growth for fiscal year 2014 and the recommendations of senior management. The options shall be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan, 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 with the assumptions below to calculate stock compensation expense related to the performance based awards. Stock compensation expense recorded for performance based awards during the year ended March 31, 2012 was $616. Stock compensation expense related to the performance based awards was not significant for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Year Ended March 31, 2014	Year Ended March 31, 2013	Year Ended March 31, 2012
Expected life	4.9 years	5.0 years	4.3 years
Expected volatility	36.9% - 43.5%	41.7% - 45.0%	41.2% - 42.2%
Expected dividends	3.2% - 4.1%	2.5% - 4.0%	1.4% - 1.9%
Risk-free rate	1.4% - 1.8%	0.6% - 0.7%	0.8% - 1.8%

Non-vested stock option award activity, including employee stock options and performance-based awards, during the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is summarized as follows:

78

	Non-Vested Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding, March 31, 2011	803,036		$	8.08
Granted	459,400		13.32

Forfeited/Canceled	(146,810	)	9.33
Outstanding, March 31, 2014	991,560		$	7.73

As of March 31, 2014, $5,423 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 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 years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $1,255, $1,696 and $2,256, respectively.

Restricted Stock

On May 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved its 2014 Director Compensation Program, pursuant to which each non-employee director is to be awarded shares of restricted stock upon election or re-election to the Board of Directors. Additionally, as part of the 2014 equity incentive program, each executive officer received, as a component of his or her base salary, a grant of restricted stock. 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.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock of approximately $629, $566 and $540 for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Restricted stock activity for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is summarized as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding, March 31, 2011	22,896		$	27.09
Granted	22,668		39.75
Vested	(15,563	)	27.51
Outstanding, March 31, 2012	30,001		$	36.32
Granted	18,939		19.32
Vested	(18,555	)	32.14
Outstanding, March 31, 2013	30,385		$	27.09

Canceled	(6,836	)	22.59
Outstanding, March 31, 2014	64,571		$	20.74

As of March 31, 2014, $873 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. This amount does not include the cost of new restricted stock that may be granted in future periods.

13. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies

The Company leases facilities and offices under irrevocable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates with rent escalation clauses. Rent expense related to these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Rent expense for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $7,604, $5,753 and $4,330, respectively. The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at March 31, 2014 and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash in future periods:

			For the year ended March 31,
Contractual Obligations	Total		2015		2016		2017		2018		2019		2020 and beyond
Operating lease obligations	$	30,756	$	8,247	$	7,776	$	5,855	$	5,146	$	1,971	$	1,761
Contingent consideration and other acquisition related liabilities (excluding share-based payments)	1,243		618		313		312		—		—		—
Total	$	31,999	$	8,865	$	8,089	$	6,167	$	5,146	$	1,971	$	1,761

The deferred compensation liability as of March 31, 2014 was $4,809, which is not included in the table above as the timing of future benefit payments to employees is not determinable.

Commitments and Guarantees

The Company's software license agreements 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 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. 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.

Hussein Litigation

On October 7, 2013, a complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange, captioned Ahmed D. Hussein v. Sheldon Razin, Steven Plochocki, Quality Systems, Inc. and Does 1-10, inclusive, No. 30-2013-00679600-CU-NP-CJC, by Ahmed Hussein, a former director and significant shareholder of the Company.  The Company filed a demurrer to the complaint, which the Court granted on April 10, 2014. An amended complaint was filed on April 25, 2014. The amended complaint generally alleges fraud and deceit, constructive fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with statements made to the Company’s shareholders regarding the Company’s financial condition and projected future performance. The amended complaint seeks actual damages, exemplary and punitive damages and costs. The Company believes that plaintiff’s claims are without merit and continues to defend against them vigorously.

Federal Securities Class Action

On November 19, 2013, a putative class action complaint was filed on behalf of the shareholders of the Company other than the defendants against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Deerfield Beach Police Pension Fund, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Quality Systems, Inc., Steven T. Plochocki, Paul A. Holt and Sheldon Razin, No. SACV13-01818-CJC-JPRx, by the Deerfield Beach Police Pension Fund, a shareholder of the Company. After the court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for this action, lead plaintiffs filed an amended

80

complaint on April 7, 2014. The amended complaint, which is substantially similar to the litigation described above under the caption “Hussein Litigation,” generally alleges that statements made to the Company’s shareholders regarding the Company’s financial condition and projected future performance were false and misleading in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the individual defendants are liable for such statements because they are controlling persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, court costs and attorneys' fees. The Company believes that plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation

On January 24, 2014, a complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and current and former directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Timothy J. Foss, derivatively on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, vs. Craig A. Barbarosh, George H. Bristol, James C. Malone, Peter M. Neupert, Morris Panner, D. Russell Pflueger, Steven T. Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance E. Rosenzweig and Quality Systems, Inc., No. SACV14-00110-DOC-JPPx, by Timothy J. Foss, a shareholder of the Company. The complaint arises from the same allegations described above under the captions “Hussein Litigation” and “Federal Securities Class Action” and generally alleges breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control and gross mismanagement by the Company’s directors, in addition to unjust enrichment and insider selling by individual directors. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, restitution and disgorgement of all profits, court costs, attorneys’ fees and implementation of enhanced corporate governance procedures. The parties have agreed to stay this litigation pending resolution of the Defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss the Federal Securities Class Action. The Company believes that plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

Management evaluates performance based upon stand-alone segment operating income. Because assets by segment are not reported to or used by the Company’s chief decision making group to allocate resources, or to assess performance, total assets by segment are not disclosed.

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company reorganized certain overhead related departments to unallocated corporate expense from the operating segments in an effort to centralize shared services functions and to be consistent with disaggregated financial information used by the Company's chief decision making group. The Company concluded the impact of the reorganization to prior year operating income was not material to the operating segments or unallocated corporate expense and is therefore not restated.

15. Subsequent Events

On May 28, 2014, 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 June 13, 2014 with an expected distribution date on or about July 3, 2014.

On May 27, 2014, the Company adopted a new form of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, which form is attached as Exhibit 10.15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement will be entered into with each of the Company's executive officers pursuant to the 2015 Executive Compensation Program, which was approved by the Compensation

81

Committee of the Board of Directors on May 27, 2014, and in accordance with the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
