See accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Item 1 Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements: 1. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The management of Health Management Systems, Inc. ("HMSY" or the "Company") is responsible for the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related information included in these notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended January 31, 2001, April 30, 2001 and July 31, 2001 included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). On October 30, 2001, the Board of Directors of Health Management Systems, Inc. elected to change the Company's fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31 effective with the year beginning January 1, 2001, as announced in its current report on Form 8-K filed on November 13, 2001. The two month period ended December 31, 2000 is the Company's transition period. This Transition Report on Form 10-Q presents the Company's results of operations for the two month periods ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. 2. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation. 3. Change in Accounting Principle for Revenue Recognition After analyzing the SEC's "Frequently Asked Questions and Answers" bulletin released on October 12, 2000 pertaining to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"), the Company elected early adoption in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, implementing a change in accounting principle with regard to revenue generated from clients seeking reimbursement from third party payors where the Company's fees are contingent upon the client's collections from third parties. The Company now recognizes revenue pertaining to such clients once the third party payor has remitted payment to its client, thereby eliminating unbilled receivables and substantially reducing deferred income tax liabilities. As of October 31, 1999, the Company had unbilled accounts receivable of $41.7 million under its historic accounting policy, pre-dating the SEC release of SAB 101. Of this amount, a total of $27.9 million subsequently completed its cycle and was included in the Company's revenue and operating 6 results through December 31, 2000 of which $3.3 million and $7.2 million related to the two months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 4. Restructuring In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000, having completed a full-scale strategic planning process, the Company began implementation of a restructuring plan and recorded a restructuring charge of $3,483,000. At December 31, 2000, the remaining liabilities associated with this restructuring charge consist of $442,000 for occupancy costs, and $1,009,000 for compensation costs, of which $542,000 is presented as a long term liability. 5. Credit Facility The Company's credit facility, consisting of a $10 million committed revolver and $20 million advised line of credit, expired on February 13, 2001. The Company had never drawn on this facility and did not intend to draw on this facility, and therefore the Company did not renew the facility. 6. Segment Information The Company measures the performance of its operating segments utilizing operating income (loss), as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current presentation.
Provider Payor Revenue Revenue TOTAL Services Services ($ in Thousands) HMS Group Group ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two months ended December 31, 2000 Revenue 9,207 5,731 3,476 Operating loss (1,486) (1,103) (383) Two months ended December 31, 1999 Revenue 8,524 6,774 1,750 Operating loss (3,403) (1,609) (1,794)
The difference between "Operating loss" and "Loss from continuing operations before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle" is "Net interest and net other income," which totaled $138,000 and $221,000 for the two months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 7. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding including the dilutive effects of potential common shares, which include the Company's stock options. For all periods presented, except as provided below, the common stock equivalents are excluded from the weighted average shares as it would be antidilutive to the per share calculation. For the two month period ended December 31, 1999 there was net income after provision for income tax from discontinued operations of $0.5 million. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for this period however, was only nominally larger than the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding (as provided below), such that the basic earnings per share as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is the same as the diluted earnings per share amount. Consequently, the Company has not presented the diluted weighted average number of shares on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of 7 Operations for this period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the two months ended December 31, 1999 was 17,456,000. 8. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures Cash paid for income taxes during the two months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $1,000 and $11,000, respectively. Cash paid for interest during the two months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was zero and $13,000, respectively. 9. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately. Statement 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141 immediately, except with regard to business combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001, which it expects to account for using the pooling-of-interests method, and Statement 142 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Furthermore, any goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life that are acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment in accordance with the appropriate pre-Statement 142 accounting literature. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of Statement 142. Statement 141 will require upon adoption of Statement 142, that the Company evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a prior purchase business combination, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in Statement 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142 within the first interim period. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first interim period. In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, Statement 142 will require the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill (and equity-method goodwill) is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company will then have up to six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit's carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists 8 that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of it assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company's statement of earnings. And finally, any unamortized negative goodwill (and negative equity-method goodwill) existing at the date Statement 142 is adopted must be written off as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $7.4 million, no unamortized identifiable intangible assets and no unamortized negative goodwill, all of which will be subject to the transition provisions of Statements 141 and 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $59,000 and $947,000 for the two months ended December 31, 2000 and the twelve months ended October 31, 2000, respectively. The expense for the twelve months ended October 31, 2000, includes the now discontinued Payor Systems Group operations. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting Statements 141 and 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these Statements on the Company's financial statements at the date of this report, including whether any transitional impairment losses will be required to be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. 10. Subsequent Events On December 11, 2001, the Company sold its healthcare decision support software systems and services business, Health Care microsystems, Inc. ("HCm"), a wholly owned subsidiary, which operated as the Company's Decision Support Group, for $9.8 million. Proceeds from the sale, which are subject to certain post close price adjustments and transaction costs estimated at $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were $9.2 million in cash and the assumption of $0.6 million of the Company's liabilities by the Purchaser. HCm was purchased by its executive management team. The HCm business generated revenues of $21.8 million and $3.2 million, and operating income of $2.4 million and $85,000 for the year ended October 31, 2000 and the two months ended December 31, 2000, respectively. HCm has previously been reported as the Decision Support Group ("DSG") of the Company. As a result of the sale of this business segment, DSG has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a discontinued business. During the period ended July 31, 2001, the Company determined to discontinue its Payor Systems Group ("PSG"). The facts and circumstances relating to the discontinuance of this business segment is disclosed in the Company's Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the period ended July 31, 2001. The net assets of the Company's discontinued business segments which consist of PSG and DSG are as follows: 9

11. Legal Proceedings a) HHL Financial Services, Inc. On June 28, 1998, eight holders of promissory notes (the "Notes") of HHL Financial Services, Inc. ("HHL") commenced a lawsuit against the Company and others in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, alleging various breaches of fiduciary duty on the part of the defendants against HHL (the first cause of action) and that defendants intentionally caused HHL's default under the Notes (the second cause of action). The complaint alleges that, as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, HHL was caused to make substantial unjustified payments to the Company which, ultimately, led to defaults on the Notes and to HHL's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On June 30, 1998, the same Note holders commenced a virtually identical action (the "Adversary Proceeding") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, where HHL's Chapter 11 proceeding is pending. The Adversary Proceeding alleges the same wrongdoing as the New York State Court proceeding and seeks the same damages, i.e., $2.3 million (the unpaid amount of the Notes) plus interest. Plaintiffs moved in the Bankruptcy Court to have the Court abstain from hearing the Adversary Proceeding in deference to the New York State Court action. The Company opposed plaintiffs' motion for abstention and on September 15, 1998 filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the Adversary Proceeding. This motion was decided by the Bankruptcy Court on June 5, 2001. At that time, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed the first cause of action and ruled that it would abstain on dismissal of the second cause of action. In September 2001, plaintiffs filed in New York State Court an Amended Complaint alleging the second cause of action, and in November 2001, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint is expected to be fully briefed and submitted to the New York State Court in January 2002. The Company intends to continue its vigorous defense this lawsuit. Management believes the risk of loss is not 10 probable and accordingly has not recognized any accrued liability for this matter. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that any liability that may result will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to the Company's operating results in any one accounting period. b) IHHS, Inc. In July 2000, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York ("New York Supreme Court"), granted the Company's motion for summary judgment against The Institutes for Health & Human Services, Inc. ("IHHS") in the amount of $270,000 on an unpaid promissory note (together with interest and attorneys' fees assessed at an inquest in January 2001 in the amount of $27,000), but stayed enforcement of the judgment pending assertion and resolution of claims IHHS represented it had against the Company. Later in July 2000, IHHS asserted such claims against the Company in an action filed in New York Supreme Court. The complaint alleged that the Company fraudulently withheld information from IHHS to induce it to enter into various specified contracts with the Company, and that the Company breached various contractual obligations to IHHS. The complaint sought an aggregate of $9,100,000 in compensatory damages, and punitive damages in an unspecified amount. The action came on for trial in January 2001, at which time the Court directed entry for judgement, dismissing the case, and awarding the Company damages on its counterclaims in an amount to be assessed at an inquest. IHHS has filed a notice of appeal of the Court's decision, although it has not moved for a stay of the decision pending appeal. Therefore, the Company will continue in its enforcement efforts against IHHS. The Company's position is that it will prevail on the merits on any appeal of this matter. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that any liability that may result will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to the Company's operating results in any one accounting period. c) Davis & Associates, Inc. On May 1, 2001, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an Opinion and Order granting the Company's motion for summary judgement and dismissing the complaint alleged in a lawsuit commenced by Davis & Associates, Inc. ("D&A"). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company breached contractual obligations to D&A, wrongfully induced D&A to enter into various contracts with the Company, and wrongfully interfered with D&A's ability to perform under several contracts and pursue unspecified business opportunities. D&A sought compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts and injunctive and other equitable relief. D&A filed a Notice of Appeal on June 4, 2001, which was dismissed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on July 2, 2001. d) District of Columbia In March, 2001, the Company commenced a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Civil Division, against the District of Columbia ("D.C." or the "District"), Carolyn N. Graham, in her official capacity as Interim Director of the District of Columbia Department of Human Services (the "DHS"), and Ivan C. A. Walks, M.D., in his official capacity as Director of the District of Columbia Department of Health, seeking to recover amounts owed to the Company by the District for services rendered in conducting a retroactive Disproportionate Share Hospital ("DSH") revenue recovery project for the D.C. Medicaid program. In June 2001, the District made a motion to dismiss the Company's complaint on the grounds that the Court lacks jurisdiction and that any legal proceedings related to the Company's claims are to be brought before the D.C. Board of Contract Appeals. In the interim, the Chief Contracting Officer of the Department of Health has taken the position that the Company has no claim, issuing a decision dated May 23, 2001, that the contract pursuant to which the Company rendered services in connection with the DSH revenue recovery project, including eight amendments to that contract, had been signed by a Contracting Officer of the DHS without the requisite contracting 11 authority and therefore the contract was determined by the Chief Contracting Officer to be void ab initio, noting that the Company may submit a request for compensation of its actual costs allocable to the work performed under the contract. A decision of a Contracting Officer is subject to appeal to the District Board of Contract Appeals. The Company believes that the decision of the Chief Contracting Officer was erroneous and an attempt on the part of the District to avoid paying fees properly owing for revenue recovered by the District as a result of services rendered by the Company. In August 2001, the Company withdrew its lawsuit and filed an appeal to the District Board of Contract Appeals of the decision of the Chief Contracting Officer. Other legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, in the opinion of the Company's management, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. 12 Certain statements in this report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Two Months Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Two Months Ended December 31,1999 The Company's revenue from continuing operations increased by $0.7 million to $9.2 million for the two month period ended December 31, 2000 compared with $8.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The net increase of $0.7 million consists of a $1.7 million increase in Payor Revenue Service Group ("Payor") revenue reduced by a $1.0 million decrease in Provider Revenue Service Group ("Provider") revenue. The increase in Payor revenue primarily consisted of $0.8 million resulting from increased activities with one client during the current year period compared with the prior year period, $0.6 million associated with an expansion in the scope of services provided to one state client and $0.6 million of additional revenue generated from a new client, offset by a $0.3 million decrease from the expiration of one client relationship. The net decrease in Provider revenue consisted of: (1) $1.0 million associated with the loss of two clients, and (2) a decrease of $0.8 million resulting from a decrease in activity with three clients, offset by (3) an increase of $0.9 million resulting from increased activities with one client and (4) an increase of $0.3 million resulting from an expansion in the scope of services provided to one client. The Company's total cost of services for the two month period ended December 31, 2000 was $10.7 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The Company experienced cost of services expense fluctuations compared with the prior year period as follows. Compensation expense of $6.0 million decreased by $0.2 million from the prior year two month period largely reflective of reduced staff levels resulting from the Company's restructuring initiatives undertaken during October 31, 2000. Data processing costs of $1.2 million decreased by $0.1 million from the prior year period, reflective of nominal fluctuations in a few cost categories. Occupancy costs of $1.3 million increased by $0.1 million from the prior year two month period primarily due to increased rent costs. Direct project costs of $0.7 million decreased by $0.7 million from the prior year period substantially due to $0.6 million in subcontractor fees incurred in the prior year period for a Provider client account which was not active during the current year period, and consulting fees incurred in the prior year period for a Payor client that did not have similar business needs during the current period. Other operating costs of $1.4 million decreased by $0.3 million from the prior year two month 13 period mostly related to $0.3 million in technology consulting fees for a small system enhancement project during the prior year period. Net interest and net other income of $138,000 for the two month period ended December 31, 2000, compared with $221,000 during the comparable prior year period is reflective of a decrease in the average cash balance available for investment. The effective income tax rates of 40.6 % and 41.5% for the two month periods ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, represent the combined federal and state income tax rates as necessary. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance. In addition, the resultant increase in the net deferred income tax asset may be offset in part by future taxable gains from divestitures, although there can be no assurances that such divestitures will be concluded or produce taxable gains. The Company implemented a change in accounting for revenue recognition with regard to revenue generated from clients seeking reimbursement from third-party payors where the Company's fees are contingent upon the client's collections from third parties. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2000 is $22.0 million, net of income tax benefit. Discontinued operations includes the results of operations of the Company's Payor Systems Group and Decision Support Group. Regarding the Payor Systems Group, during July 2001, in light of the loss of two significant customers during 2001 and a determination that this segment did not fit with the long-term strategies and operations of the business at-large, the Company implemented a formal plan to dispose of this business segment through an orderly wind-down of operations, expected to largely be completed by June 2002. See the related discussion in note 6 to the interim financial statements as reported in the Form 10-Q filing for the period ended July 31, 2001. Regarding the Decision Support Group, on December 11, 2001, the Company sold Health Care microsystems, Inc. ("HCm"), a wholly owned subsidiary, which operated as the Company's Decision Support Group, as disclosed in Note 10 to the Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, above. For the two months ended December 31, 2000, the Company incurred a net loss of $0.8 million or $0.05 per common share, compared to a net loss of $23.3 million or $1.34 per common share during the prior year comparable period. The decrease in net loss principally resulted from the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle incurred during the prior year two month period. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the Company's principal sources of funds are operations and the remaining proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in 1992. At December 31, 2000, the Company's cash and short-term investments and net working capital were $13.6 million and $31.0 million, respectively, compared with $16.7 million and $33.8 million, respectively, at October 31, 2000. The Company's credit facility, consisting of a $10 million committed revolver and $20 million advised line of credit, expired on February 13, 2001. The Company had not drawn and did not intend to draw on this facility, and therefore the Company did not renew the facility. For the two months ended December 31, 2000, cash used by operating activities was $1.2 million. This use of cash primarily resulted from a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million. During this period the Company invested $0.3 million in internally developed software and property and 14 equipment. The Company anticipates devoting increasingly more resources to product and system development and enhancements and believes that significant continuing development efforts will be necessary to adapt to changing marketplace requirements, and to sustain its operations. As previously reported, the Company is considering divesting non-strategic assets and business operations. The Company has reported transactions of this nature in its Form 10-Q filings subsequent to its Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000. Additionally, the Company has also subsequently reported on financial commitments made to certain key employees to induce them to stay during the Company's restructuring. Further, the Company is also in the midst of developing additional restructuring plans focused on reducing and re-engineering information systems and administrative infrastructures which may result in additional operating and restructuring charges. As the Company divests non-strategic assets and develops new service offerings, it may seek to acquire companies that supply targeted healthcare providers and/or payors with information management software, systems, or services which complement its existing technology, software applications, or client base. The Company believes that such acquisition opportunities exist, in part, due to the competitive pressures on local service businesses that lack adequate capital, technical, and management resources. There can be no assurances that the Company will have or be able to obtain the necessary resources to acquire subsequently identified candidates. On May 28, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase such number of shares of its common stock that have an aggregate purchase price not in excess of $10.0 million. Since the inception of the repurchase program the Company has repurchased 1,311,666 shares having an aggregate purchase price of $8.3 million. No shares have been repurchased in fiscal year 2001. The Company may make additional repurchases in the future based on its assessment of the Company's cash position and the current market price of the shares. 15 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks The Company's holdings of financial instruments are comprised of federal, state and local government debt. All such instruments are classified as securities available for sale. The Company does not invest in portfolio equity securities or commodities or use financial derivatives for trading purposes. The Company's debt security portfolio represents funds held temporarily, pending use in the Company's business and operations. The Company manages these funds accordingly. The Company seeks reasonable assuredness of the safety of principal and market liquidity by investing in rated fixed income securities while, at the same time, seeking to achieve a favorable rate of return. The Company's market risk exposure consists principally of exposure to changes in interest rates. The Company's holdings are also exposed to the risks of changes in the credit quality of issuers. The Company typically invests in the shorter-end of the maturity spectrum or highly liquid investments. The table below presents the historic cost basis and fair value for the Company's investment portfolio as of December 31, 2000, and the related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity:
