Non-GAAP revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 are comprised of revenue from Allscripts and Misys Healthcare (Misys), respectively, for the full three-month period of each respective year, giving effect to the add-back of a deferred revenue adjustment of $2.6 million recorded for GAAP purposes in the three month period ended August 31, 2009. In addition, non-GAAP revenue for three months ended August 31, 2008 excludes $9.9 million in prepackaged medications revenue that were recorded for GAAP purposes. Allscripts disposed of its prepackaged medications business on March 16, 2009. Please see "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of non-GAAP measures.

Gross margin percentage was 54.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to 53.9% for the same period last year.

Basis of Presentation

The Company's results for the three months ended August 31, 2009 include results of Allscripts for the complete fiscal quarter.  The Company's GAAP results for the three months ended August 31, 2008 include only the results of Misys. A subsidiary of Allscripts merged with Misys, formerly a division of Misys plc, on October 10, 2008, at which time the legal name of Allscripts became Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  To supplement this information, Allscripts presents in this press release non-GAAP revenue and net income, including non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.   Non-GAAP revenue consists of GAAP revenue and legacy Allscripts revenue for periods prior to the consummation date of the Misys merger and adds back the deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes and excludes revenue from prepackaged medications. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income and includes legacy Allscripts net income for periods prior to the consummation date of the Misys merger, excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, and transaction-related expenses, adds back the deferred revenue adjustment and excludes net income from prepackaged medications, in each case net of any related tax benefit.

  --  Acquisition-Related Amortization. Acquisition-related amortization
      expense is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of
      intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. 
      Allscripts excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from
      non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such
      expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the
      underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such
      expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new
      acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired intangible
      assets.  Investors should note that the use of these intangible assets
      contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to
      future revenue generation and should also note that such expense will
      recur in future periods.
  --  Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is
      a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock awards to
      employees. Allscripts excludes stock-based compensation expense from
      non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such
      expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the
      underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such
      expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the
      timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in
      connection with acquisitions.  Investors should note that stock-based
      compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts
      contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are
      expected to contribute to operating results in future periods and
      should also note that such expense will recur in future periods.
  --  Transaction-Related Expenses. Transaction-related expenses are fees
      and expenses, including legal, investment banking and accounting fees,
      incurred in connection with announced transactions.  Allscripts
      excludes transaction-related expenses from non-GAAP net income because
      it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may
      not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts
      business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly
      between periods.
  --  Deferred Revenue Adjustment. Deferred revenue adjustment reflects the
      fair value adjustment to deferred revenues acquired in connection with
      the transactions consummated with Misys plc on October 10, 2008. The
      fair value of deferred revenue represents an amount equivalent to the
      estimated cost plus an appropriate profit margin, to perform services
      related to legacy Allscripts software and product support, which
      assumes a legal obligation to do so, based on the deferred revenue
      balances as of October 10, 2008. Allscripts adds back this deferred
      revenue adjustment for non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP net income
      because it believes the inclusion of this amount directly correlates
      to the underlying performance of Allscripts operations.

  --  Prepackaged Medications. As noted, Allscripts disposed of the
      prepackaged medications business on March 16, 2009. The results of
      this business have been excluded from non-GAAP revenue and net income
      because Allscripts believes this provides the most relevant comparison
      of the underlying performance of Allscripts operations.




Management also believes that non-GAAP revenue and net income provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results.  Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that the measure is indicative of the Company's core operating results.  Note, however, that non-GAAP revenue and net income are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts' results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained within the attached condensed consolidated financial statements.
