RAZIN Vice President and Corporate Secretary Tustin, California July 26, 1996 3 [LOGO] QUALITY SYSTEMS, INC. 17822 EAST 17TH STREET, SUITE 210 TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA 92780 ------------------------ ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 6, 1996 ------------------------ PROXY STATEMENT ------------------------ SOLICITATION OF PROXIES The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Quality Systems, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at The Center Club, 650 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, California on Friday, September 6, 1996, and at any and all adjournments thereof. All shares represented by each properly executed and unrevoked proxy received in time for the meeting will be voted in the manner specified therein. Any shareholder has the power to revoke his or her proxy at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by submitting prior to or at the meeting a later dated proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy. This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Company's Annual Report are being mailed to the Company's shareholders on or about July 26, 1996. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. The solicitation will be made by mail and expenses will include reimbursement paid to brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material regarding the Annual Meeting to beneficial owners of the Company's Common Stock. Further solicitation of proxies may be made by telephone or oral communications with some shareholders. All such further solicitations will be made by the Company's regular employees who will not receive additional compensation for the solicitation. OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS Only holders of record of the 5,963,337 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on July 10, 1996, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A majority of the shares, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All proxies delivered to the Company will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum, including those providing for abstention or withholding of authority and those delivered by brokers voting without beneficial owner instruction and exercising a non-vote on certain matters. Each shareholder will be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of Common Stock held of record on the record date, except that all shareholders have cumulative voting rights and in the event any shareholder gives notice 4 at the Annual Meeting, prior to the voting, of an intention to cumulate his or her votes in the election of directors, then all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting may cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Cumulative voting means that a shareholder has the right to give any one candidate whose name has been properly placed in nomination prior to the voting a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the number of shares such shareholder would otherwise be entitled to vote, or to distribute such votes on the same principle among as many nominees (up to the number of persons to be elected) as the shareholder may wish.

Any securities not outstanding but subject to options exercisable as of July 10, 1996 or exercisable within 60 days after such date are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the 2 5 percentage of outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by the person holding such options but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other person. (3) Janet Razin and Sheldon Razin, each of whom is an officer and director of the Company, are married to one another and own their shares as community property.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (PROPOSAL NO. 1) Directors are elected at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders and hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The full Board consists of eight directors. Certain information with respect to the eight nominees for election as directors is set forth below. All of the nominees are now serving as directors. Seven of the directors were elected to their present terms of office by the shareholders and the eighth director was unanimously appointed by the existing directors in May 1996 to fill a newly created board position upon the Company's completion of its acquisition of Clinitec International, Inc. ("Clinitec"). Although it is anticipated that each nominee will be available to serve as a director, should any nominee become unavailable to serve, the proxies will be voted for such other person as may be designated by the Company's Board of Directors. Unless the authority to vote for directors has been withheld in the proxy, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote at the Annual Meeting for the election of the nominees presented below. However, discretionary authority to cumulate votes represented by proxies and to cast such votes for any or all of the nominees named below is solicited by the Board of Directors because, in the event nominations are made in opposition to the nominees of the Board of Directors, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to cumulate votes represented by proxies in accordance with their best judgment for individual nominees in order to assure the election of as many of the nominees to the Board of Directors as possible. In the election of directors, assuming a quorum is present, the eight nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected directors. As a result, proxies voted to "Withhold Authority" and broker non-votes will have no practical effect upon the election of directors, although proxies specifying "Withhold Authority" will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, as will proxies delivered by brokers voting without beneficial owner instruction and exercising a non-vote on certain matters. 3 6 YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES NAMED BELOW.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the directors and officers of the Company and any person who owns more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock are required to report their initial ownership of the Company's Common Stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Nasdaq National Market. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file in accordance with Section 16(a). 5 8 Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5's were required for those persons, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, its officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders complied with all filing requirements applicable to such persons, with the exception that one report, covering one transaction by William Bowers, a director of the Company, was inadvertently filed approximately three months late. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS AND RELATED MATTERS During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Board of Directors held seven meetings and acted once by unanimous written consent. No director, except George Bristol, attended less than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors and all meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which the Directors served that were held during the fiscal year. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee consisting of Messrs. Setran, Bristol, William Bowers and Dr. John Bowers, all of whom are non-employee directors of the Company. The duties of the Audit Committee include meeting with the independent auditors of the Company to review the scope of the annual audit and to review the quarterly and annual financial statements of the Company before the statements are released to the Company's shareholders. The audit Committee also evaluates the independent auditors' performance and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as to whether the auditing firm should be retained by the Company for the ensuing fiscal year. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews the Company's internal accounting and financial controls and reporting systems practices. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Audit Committee held four meetings. There are currently no other standing committees of the Board of Directors. Directors of the Company who are also employees of the Company are not compensated for their services as directors or committee members. Directors of the Company who are not also employees receive a fee of $2,500 per year for serving on the Board of Directors. Directors who serve on a committee of the Board of Directors receive an additional annual fee of $1,000 and a fee of $250 for each committee meeting attended, together with reasonable expenses of attendance at committee meetings. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS The Company sold a computer system for $334,600 to the Heart Institute of Nevada during the quarter ended December 31, 1995. John Bowers, M.D., the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Heart Institute of Nevada, is a member of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's gross profit on the sale is comparable to the gross profit on sales of similar computer systems. In connection with this sale, the Company also entered into an agreement to pay a license fee based upon future revenues, if any, from certain software templates that may be developed by the Heart Institute of Nevada in the future. In April 1995, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with Clinitec International, Inc. ("Clinitec"), a developer of electronic medical records software systems. In May 1995 as part of this relationship, the Company acquired a 25% equity interest in Clinitec by purchasing all of Clinitec's newly issued convertible preferred stock for $1.0 million in cash. In May 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 75% of Clinitec by purchasing 100% of the outstanding shares of Clinitec common stock directly from Clinitec's common stock shareholders for approximately $4.9 million in cash plus 309,846 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In connection with the May 1996 stock purchase transaction, Mr. Patrick Cline, a co-founder, President and Chairman of the Board of Clinitec, became a Director and Executive Vice 6 9 President of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the May 1996 stock purchase transaction, each Clinitec common stock shareholder received a pro rata share of the cash and Common Stock paid by the Company determined by the number of shares of Clinitec common stock owned by each Clinitec common stock shareholder divided by the total number of outstanding shares of Clinitec common stock. As a result of the May 1996 stock purchase transaction, Mr. Cline received $1,703,600 in cash plus 107,825 shares of the Company's Common Stock for his shares of Clinitec common stock. COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The following table sets forth compensation received for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 1994, March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively, by the Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers of the Company serving as such at the end of the 1996 fiscal year whose aggregate total annual salary and bonus for such year exceeded $100,000 (the "Named Executive Officers").
