Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions. “Our partnership
with IDX has become a strategic differentiator and driver of sales. We finished
the year with a record backlog of $30 million and solid sales momentum.”

“We see strong demand for clinical applications and are capitalizing on our
leadership position in the market,” continued Tullman. “During the fourth
quarter, we signed a record 33 TouchWorks contracts. This includes 22 new
customers, demonstrating our sales traction, and 11 agreements with current
customers, underscoring the effectiveness of our modular approach. In addition,
our Physicians Interactive(TM) group signed 11 new contracts with pharmaceutical
companies to deliver e-Detailing(TM) physician education services.”

$355.0 million related to acquired intangible assets and related goodwill, and
the write-off of $3.0 million related to acquired in-process research and
development expenses associated with the acquisition of ChannelHealth
Incorporated. Net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 was $418.9
million, or $11.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $57.4 million, or
