PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
QuadraMed Corporation (QuadraMed or the
Company) is a Delaware corporation based at 12110 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, Virgina. The Company was incorporated in 1993 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1996. We do business directly and through our subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly owned and operated under common management. The Company considers itself to be a single reporting segment, specifically the software segment.
The business mission of QuadraMed is to advance the success of hospitals and other healthcare organizations through healthcare information technology
(HIT) that leverages quality care into positive financial outcomes. Organizations such as hospitals, hospital-based clinics, local and regional delivery networks and governmental agencies, including the Veterans Administration
(VA), use our solutions to provide high quality care, improve their operational efficiencies and achieve better financial performance.
For healthcare providers, clinical information and quality measurements are becoming drivers of
reimbursement. Our portfolio of Care-Based Revenue Cycle
(CBRC) solutions are designed to leverage better care into positive financial outcomes. As evolving reimbursement
scenarios challenge hospitals by linking quality of care to appropriate payment, we believe that our CBRC solutions will become increasingly competitive as they help our clients attain significant operational and financial improvement. Our CBRC
solutions automate access management, care management, health information and patient revenue management as an integrated enterprise-wide solution, and we believe will provide QuadraMed a distinct advantage relative to our competition.
Healthcare and Healthcare Information Technology
The healthcare industry is the largest industry in the United States. The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) estimate that 2008 healthcare expenditures in the United States will total approximately $2.4 trillion, or approximately 16.6% of the U.S. gross domestic product. CMS estimates that by
2015, total U.S. healthcare spending will reach $4.0 trillion, or 20% of the estimated U.S. gross domestic product. Hospital services represent one of the largest categories of total healthcare expenditures. According to CMS, in 2008, spending on
hospital services will be approximately $750 billion, or 30% of total healthcare expenditures. According to the American Hospital Association, there are approximately 4,900 hospitals in the United States.
Federal government agencies are key players in driving the need for
information technology. As the largest healthcare payer in the United States, CMS is at the forefront in implementing quality improvement strategies, including pay-for-performance programs, care coordination, patient safety initiatives,
e-prescribing, electronic medical records, public reporting, evidence-based guidelines and performance measurement. CMS initiated a three-year pay-for-performance demonstration project in October 2003, in which hospitals were rewarded
3
financially for providing higher levels of quality care. In January 2007, CMS announced that the second year results from this project resulted in a
substantial improvement in patient care. Following this announcement, CMS approved a three-year extension of the pay-for-performance demonstration project in order to test new incentive models and ways to measure quality. HIT systems are a
prerequisite to participation in these programs, which have been optional to date.
The impact of these changes is now being seen. In 2007, CMS announced that as of October 2008, it would no longer reimburse for eight hospital-acquired medical conditions, which appears to be the first step toward
enforcement of the quality of care requirements described above. If such medical conditions are present upon admission but the diagnosis is not captured, the reimbursement associated with the encounter may be reduced or denied. We
believe tracking whether a specific diagnosis is present on admission for a patient will be difficult to do without care management systems that are tightly linked to revenue cycle management systems.
As we enter the 2008 presidential election year, healthcare is clearly a
national priority. The healthcare industry is under increasing pressure from all sides to decrease cost, eliminate errors and enhance the quality of care. There is bi-partisan recognition of the ability of IT to address some of healthcares
ills. While it is impossible to predict what legislation will pass, it is a certainty that healthcare will remain in the national spotlight and that HIT will continue to be seen as an enabler of change. We believe these fundamental cost and quality
pressures along with the demographic onslaught of aging baby boomers and an increasing clinician (both doctor and nurse) shortage, may constitute a recession-resistant driver for our industry.
We see these industry dynamics as creating a positive environment for HIT
generally, and for QuadraMed specifically. We believe evolving government payment programs indicate a trend: that voluntary pay-for-performance pilot programs will evolve into mandatory outcomes-based reimbursement models. We also believe that this
trend will increase demand for HIT in general and for reimbursement-oriented systems in particular. We believe our CBRC solutions are well positioned to address the future challenges provider organizations will face as the full impact of these
dynamics unfolds over the next several years.
Recent Developments
In
September 2007, QuadraMed completed the acquisition of the Misys CPR (Clinical Patient Record or CPR) product, which we have subsequently renamed QuadraMed CPR (QCPR). This acquisition is further discussed in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements section. We believe that the QCPR acquisition is a game-changing event for the Company, as it dramatically improves our ability to compete in the HIT market. We believe the acquisition of the QCPR
product, an award-winning clinical information system, immediately increases the competitiveness of QuadraMeds care management products and immediately enables the Company to offer clinical functionality that was not previously available in
our legacy Affinity
®
product line. With QCPR, we believe the Company is positioned for expanded top-line growth as we can now compete much more effectively in system evaluations for both
large, complex organizations that are heavily focused on advanced clinical functionality, and also in smaller hospitals seeking deeper clinical functionality. Early evidence of the impact of the QCPR acquisition on our business is highlighted by the
February 2008 announcement of the QCPR contract with Sibley Memorial Hospital located in Washington, D.C., only five months after the close of the acquisition. This is notable, as the typical sales cycle for clinical information systems can be 12-18
months on average.
In an effort to more rapidly provide high
quality, feature-rich products to our clients, QuadraMed also recently announced, in early 2008, a strategic partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global IT services and consulting firm, to assist with quality
assurance, technical publications and software programming. This partnership will increase our development resources by approximately 11%. We believe this will result in increased development capacity, using very cost competitive resources, to
provide new features and functions to our clients.

Product Direction
QuadraMeds product direction is borne out of the four fundamental healthcare processes: Access & Identity Management, Care Management, Health
Information Management (HIM) and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). These four processes are universal to the patient experience and to all provider organizations, whether small doctors offices, large integrated delivery
networks or national health systems such as the VA. Our understanding of and insight into these processes has led us to create the portfolio of Care-Based Revenue Cycle solutions. Our CBRC solutions aim to automate and seamlessly link these
processes so that our clients can improve the overall patient experience and leverage quality care into positive financial outcomes. The four processes are described below:
Access and Identity Management
Person identification marks the beginning of the patient experience. This process and the data integrity that it does (or
does not) generate are the foundations for patient safety, quality healthcare and accurate reimbursement. Once the patient is accurately and uniquely identified, the patient can access the provider organization by scheduling appointments
and registering with them by providing insurance and demographic information. Many resources and much data must be managed at this point, and the provider organization must balance patient satisfaction with comprehensive data capture to ensure
accurate reimbursement. Systems that embed identity management into the typical access functions enable provider organizations to offer a better patient experience and improve operational efficiency.
Care Management
The care delivery process is at the heart of what a provider organization
does: it is the shop floor. Delivering care to a human being is one of the most information intensive processes done on an industrial scale. Patients and their conditions are infinitely varied, the team of providers is constantly
changing and deadly materials are often involved. Clinicians need integrated, workflow-driven solutions that enable them to organize and manage the patient care process and document the care they provide. Systems that make it easy to document care
and embed quality benchmarking information are crucial as such information forms the basis for the final two downstream processes.
Health Information Management
The HIM process, when functioning properly, links the access, care and patient revenue processes. Health information comes in all formspaper, data
entered into various systems, images, sound files, etc. Digitizing, indexing, coding (i.e., translating medical diagnosis codes into financial billing codes) and storing this data enable healthcare organizations to efficiently manage what is coming
to be known as the legal medical record and improve providers regulatory compliance and reimbursement.
Patient Revenue Management
The patient revenue management process is dependent on all of the upstream processes to produce accurate and timely billings and is a big factor in the
overall patient experience. An inaccurate or hard to understand patient bill can dramatically affect patient satisfaction. This process must also conduct transactions with many outside third parties, particularly insurance companies. Building up
connections to all these third parties and ensuring the transactions are HIPAA-compliant is a massive amount of work but, once completed, it represents both a competitive moat barring new entrants seeking to offer HIT products as well as very high
switching costs for clients.
Strategy
Prior to acquiring QCPR, QuadraMed had attempted to compete both in markets
for stand-alone products such as contract management, patient acuity, enterprise scheduling, identity management, clinical benchmarking
5
and state data collection, and the enterprise HIT and HIM markets. With QCPR as our keystone product, we have sharpened our strategic focus. We now have a
two-pronged market strategy aimed at the enterprise health information system (HIS) and HIM markets. This change toward a narrower and more focused approach can more effectively drive top-line growth and operational efficiencies by 1)
enabling our product development resources to focus on a narrower solution set, and 2) applying more sales and marketing leverage toward our flagship products.
For the enterprise HIS market, we offer bundled software packages to hospitals. Our CBRC solutions can automate virtually every aspect of a
hospitals operation, from the initial patient schedule to the final remittance from an insurance company. By integrating the core processes of hospitalsaccess/identity management, care management, health information management and
revenue cycle managementwe can enable our clients to benefit from new quality-based reimbursement and pay-for-performance programs. Industry analysts have recently written reports that we believe validate our strategy:
The industrys major technology challenge is
integration of all kindsdata integration, device integration, network integration and process integration. Better integration of information systems, as well as process improvements that provide more efficient ways to collect, use, and
communicate information, can go far toward improving patient safety and increasing efficiency, two key goals of forward-thinking healthcare providers.

Next generation clinical and financial information systems must address RCM from a care-based perspective in order for organizations to fully realize their revenue potential as the paradigm of reimbursement
shifts to payment based on quality and performance.
2007 Health Information Management Systems Society Analytics Report: Care-Based Revenue Cycle Management Report.
The addition of the QCPR product line enables QuadraMed to successfully compete in the highly competitive arena of high-end,
fully functional physician and clinical systems. QCPRs integrated medication administration, its high physician usage rates of the Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) product and intelligent clinical workflow data model, make
the product a competitive option for QuadraMeds current hospital clients and for others seeking an advanced clinical information system. We believe the market potential for QCPR is significant. Evidence of a robust market for HIT, led by
clinical information system transactions, is underscored by the recently reported revenue expansion from our competitors, and we believe most notably by the reported $1.8B electronic medical records (EMR) system procurement by Kaiser
Permanente that occurred in 2003. We estimate that approximately 250 mid-size to large hospitals will select a new or replacement EMR over the next 3-5 years, and assuming an initial $5M contract for each of these new or replacement EMR contracts,
this implies a potential market opportunity of $1.25B for QCPR in the mid-size and large hospital market over that time period. There also is opportunity within the existing QuadraMed Affinity clinical client base. We believe that QuadraMed
currently has approximately 100 hospital clients that will be looking to upgrade their clinical systems over the next five years. Most of these Affinity clients average less than 250 beds each. We expect that the average initial contract for a
like-for-like product set conversion could range from $1.5M to $3M for each of these 100 clients, equating to a potential $150M to $300M revenue opportunity for QCPR within the Affinity client base.
While QCPR significantly strengthens our hand in the enterprise HIS market
and allows us to compete in larger, more complicated deals, we believe our competitive differentiation will come from our traditional strengths of RCM and HIM. We believe most of our enterprise HIS competitors have relatively limited HIM and RCM
product offerings in terms of integration and breadth of application functionality, and moreover, that hospitals will turn to our core strengths as they face increasing reimbursement pressures. Our development plan includes further integration of
our leading RCM and HIM functionality into our Access and Care Management products to increase our competitive differentiation.
For the HIM market, we offer a focused, stand-alone solution that automates the Health Information Management department within the hospital. This
strategic focus allows us to leverage our strong market position
6
in the HIM market. We estimate that approximately 1,700 hospitals are using a least one of our HIM solutions. The HIM departments primary purpose is to
convert information captured during the care delivery process into billing information and is a core part of the revenue cycle. This includes the translation of clinical diagnoses and procedures into billing codes and often involves the digitization
of vast amounts of paper. Despite the need for a new record-keeping methodology, most hospitals have found it challenging to try to move to a purely paperless, computer-based clinical record. The HIM market for coding products appears to be nearing
saturation with reports showing that 98% of hospitals have an encoder product installed. Market share growth in this environment can only come via competitive replacements. QuadraMed is investing in product offerings to provide a full departmental
solution as a strategy to motivate HIM departments to replace their existing products with QuadraMeds solutions. We believe our solution will address the challenges facing HIM departments by automating more of the HIM process; and, we hope
ultimately to be able to achieve our vision of a paperless HIM department.
Key initiatives for QuadraMeds strategy include:
|
|
|
Further integration of the components of our CBRC solutions so that we can grow market share. This primarily revolves around the recently acquired QCPR product.
|
|
|
|
Focus on cross-selling additional solutions into our client base. We estimate that over 85% of our clients have only one of our products.
|
|
|
|
Conversion of our legacy Affinity clinical client base to QCPR. This represents a significant near to medium term opportunity for the Company.
|
|
|
|
Development of new HIM solutions, such as Computer-Assisted-Coding, to be sold into our large HIM base.
|
|
|
|
Improvement of awareness in the healthcare market through investments in strategic positioning to drive sales.

9
satisfactory relationship with our employees, none of whom are represented by a union or other collective bargaining group. As of December 31, 2007, we
had approximately 706 employees: 86 in general and administration, 62 in sales and marketing, and the remaining employees in technical, consulting, research and development and support services.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret
law, and nondisclosure and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary methodologies, computer software and databases. In addition, we require that all employees sign an agreement prohibiting them from disclosing or using our confidential
information and requiring them to disclose and assign to us any new ideas, developments, discoveries or inventions related to our business. Further, we enter into non-disclosure agreements with business partners and customers in the ordinary course
of business. The Company initiated a new branding strategy in 2007 that included the adoption of a new corporate tagline; Quality Care. Financial Health
, which is currently
pending registration at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We have obtained trademark registrations in the United States for most of our corporate and product trademarks and service marks (to the extent applicable), including QuadraMed,
Affinity, Quantim, Tempus, pcMAR, MPIspy, SmartMerge, TempusOne, TempusXpress, nCoder+, WinCoder+, MEDREC Millennium and Smart IX, Smart Identity, Quadramed CPR, among others.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully
consider the following factors and other information set forth in this report, including our financial statements and the related notes. The risks set forth below are in addition to risks that apply to most businesses. Our business and future
performance may be affected by the following:
We Have Incurred Losses from
Continuing Operations for Several Years Prior to 2006. Our Losses Have In the Past Adversely Affected Our Ability to Compete.
While we had income from continuing operations of $63.0 million and $11.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, we
incurred losses from continuing operations of $1.5 million, $34.8 million, and $19.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
Our historical losses have in the past impaired our ability to make substantial product investments and to market our
products and services in competition against companies that are more profitable. If we are unable to sustain profitability, it may impair our ability to compete effectively.
Failure to Maintain Effective Internal Controls Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business, Operating Results and Stock Price.
We have documented and tested our internal control
procedures in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting may be found under
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
and the attestation of our auditors as a result of their audit of our internal control over financial reporting may be found at page F-3 Report of Independent Registered Pubic Audit Firm. As reported under Item 9A, our management believes
that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007.
However, as a result of the control deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and in our disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2004 and as of the end of each quarter in 2005 through September 30, 2005 identified by our management and reported by our management and our auditors (in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2006; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, filed with
the SEC on March 25, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2005, and Amendment No. 2, filed with the SEC on January 4, 2006; and in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with
the SEC on May 10, 2005 (as amended and filed on January 4, 2006), August 9, 2005 and November 9, 2005), during 2005, the Company invested significant time and resources to remediate such material weaknesses, and as such,
there were significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during 2005 that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting in a positive way.
These changes were aimed at eliminating internal control deficiencies in both the Companys revenue and closing cycles.
If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing
basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are important in
helping ensure that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our
reported financial information and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.
11
Our Ability to Borrow or Issue Additional Shares of Preferred Stock Is Restricted by the Terms of Our Series A
Preferred Stock.
The Certificate of Designation governing our Series A Preferred Stock provides that so long as at least 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, at least 66
2
/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be required to approve the incurrence by QuadraMed of any long-term senior indebtedness of
QuadraMed in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $8,000,000, excluding certain prior existing indebtedness. Furthermore, the Certificate of Designation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of any outstanding shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock prior to the authorization or creation of, or increase in the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series (or any security convertible into shares of any class or series) ranking senior to or on par with the Series A
Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of QuadraMed or in the payment of dividends. This may hinder or delay our ability to borrow funds or issue preferred stock.
We Could Experience a Significant Impact on Our Revenue if Our Customers Do Not Renew
Maintenance Contracts.
We derive a significant percentage
of our revenue, including 44% of our total revenue for fiscal year 2007, from maintenance services. We provide maintenance services under maintenance contracts to many of our customers in connection with our healthcare information technology
products. In general, these maintenance contracts renew on an annual basis. If a significant portion of these maintenance contracts were not renewed, our maintenance revenues would decline which could have a material adverse effect on our total
revenue for the period(s) in which the maintenance contracts were discontinued.
Future Sales in the Public Market of the Common Stock, Underlying our Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants or Option Exercises and Sales Could Lower Our Stock Price.
A substantial number of shares of our common stock are issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon
conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, those future sales of such shares of common stock, or the availability of shares of common stock for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock.
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants or upon the conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing
market prices for our common stock.
If Our Series A Preferred Stock is
Converted into Common Stock, these Converting Stockholders Will Have Significant Voting Power, and They Will Have the Ability to Exert Substantial Influence Over Matters Requiring Stockholder Approval.
Each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 8.0645 shares
of our common stock, and the Series A Preferred Stockholders may convert at any time. If all of our Series A Preferred Stock is converted into common stock, the shares issued upon this conversion will total approximately 42.5% of our outstanding
common stock. In addition, many of our Series A Preferred Stockholders own common stock. Therefore, although these stockholders may not acquire majority control upon conversion of their Series A Preferred Stock, if these distinct stockholders were
to act together, they will have the ability to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors, the approval of mergers or other business combinations, and other
significant corporate actions. This ability to influence our affairs might not be advantageous to our other stockholders.
Our Inability to Protect Our Intellectual Property Could Lead to Unauthorized Use of Our Products, which Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business.
We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws,
nondisclosure, non-compete and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. In 2001, we filed our first patent application

covering our developed technology, the Affinity CPOE software application. This application lapsed, and we have no patents. Measures taken by us to protect
our intellectual property may not be adequate, and our competitors could independently develop products and services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products and services. Any infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary
software and databases could put us at a competitive disadvantage in a highly competitive market and could cause us to lose revenues, incur substantial litigation expense and divert managements attention from other operations.
We are Dependent Upon Third-Party Software Licenses in Connection with the Sale of Our
Software. If These Licenses Are Not Renewed or Are Terminated, We May Not Be Able to Continue to Use the Related Technology on Commercially Reasonable Terms or at All.
We depend on licenses from a number of third-party vendors for certain technology, including the computer hardware,
operating systems, database management systems, programming language and runtime environment upon which we develop and operate our products. We are materially reliant upon licenses with the following third-party vendors: InterSystems Corporation,
Document Storage Systems, Inc., Megas Corporation, Unicor Medical, Oracle, Microsoft, Quovadx, the American Medical Association and the American Hospital Association. Most of these licenses expire within three to five years. Such licenses can be
renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the license terms and fail to cure the breach within a specified time period. If such licenses are terminated, we may not be able to continue using the technology on commercially
reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we may have to discontinue, delay or reduce product shipments until equivalent technology is obtained, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. However, as all application software companies, including QuadraMed and our competitors, are reliant on licensed technology and third-party components, we believe our reliance on such technology and licenses does not place us at a
competitive disadvantage.
At present, there is no equivalent
technology for the InterSystems Corporation technology which is an integral component of our Patient Care and Revenue Management product line. The Company has entered into several agreements with InterSystems Corporation regarding the licensed
technology relating to our Patient Care and Revenue Management product line. However, if InterSystems Corporation ceased to offer this technology and no other vendor provided the technology, we would be required to migrate our Patient Care and
Revenue Management products to a new database platform or redesign our products to work with new software tools. This could be very costly and difficult to achieve and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. There can be no assurance that we would successfully migrate our Patient Care and Revenue Management products to a new platform.
Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive and competitors may obtain the same or similar technology. In addition, if vendors choose to
discontinue support of the licensed technology, we may not be able to modify or adapt our products.
Our International Operations, Including Our Activities and Contracts in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Middle East and Our Operations in India, May Subject Us to Additional Costs and Risks.
In February 2008, we began a new partnership with Tata Consultancy Services
(TCS), a leading global IT services and consulting firm based in India, to supplement our resources in the product development areas of quality assurance, technical publications and software programming. While TCS is an established
organization with significant experience in the product development area, we may face challenges in managing relationships such as this, integration of the TCS personnel and work product with our own, and our lack of direct control over the Indian
product development. Even though our contract with TCS is denominated in U.S. dollars and TCS remains responsible for the employment and tax liabilities of the personnel working with us, we could face additional costs associated with these Indian
operations in the event of changes in foreign laws, regulations and policies.
13
In addition to our existing business, our acquisition of the CPR business in September 2007 increased the
number of our customers and vendors located outside the United States, including in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East. While our contracts in the Middle East are denominated in U.S. dollars, most of our contracts with Canadian and U.K.
customers and vendors are denominated in Canadian dollars and British pounds sterling, respectively. As a result, unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates could increase the costs of our operations in these countries, and we do not
currently engage in any activities to hedge our foreign currency exposure. Further, instability in the Middle East or changes in the relations between the United States and the Middle East could increase the costs of our operations or affect our
ability to maintain our customer or vendor contracts in this area
If Our
Products Fail to Accurately Assess, Process or Collect Healthcare Claims or Administer Managed Care Contracts, We Could Be Subject to Costly Litigation and Be Forced to Make Costly Changes to Our Products.
Some of our products and services are used in the payment, collection,
coding and billing of healthcare claims and the administration of managed care contracts. If our employees or products fail to accurately assess, process or collect these claims, customers could file claims against us. Our insurance coverage may not
be adequate to cover such claims. A successful claim that is in excess of, or is not covered by, insurance coverage could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even a claim without merit could result in
significant legal defense costs and could consume management time and resources. In addition, claims could increase our premiums such that appropriate insurance could not be found at commercially reasonable rates. Furthermore, if we were found
liable, we may have to alter significantly one or more of our products, possibly resulting in additional unanticipated software development expenses.
Changes in Procurement Practices of Hospitals Have and May Continue to Have a Negative Impact on Our Revenues.
A substantial portion of our revenues has been and is expected to continue
to be derived from sales of software products and services to hospitals. Hospitals are slow to make changes and generally favor their existing vendor when considering an upgrade in their systems. Consolidation in the healthcare industry,
particularly in the hospital and managed care markets, could decrease the number of existing or potential purchasers of products and services and could adversely affect our business. In addition, the decision to purchase our products often involves
a committee approval. Consequently, it is difficult for us to predict the timing or outcome of the buying decisions of our customers or potential customers. In addition, many healthcare providers are consolidating to create integrated delivery
networks with greater regional market power. Others may become participants in integrated delivery systems or integrated delivery networks through merger and acquisition activity or the formation of collaborations using the shared of a jointly owned
information technology services entity, some of which may seek to implement a single electronic health information solution for participating organizations. These emerging systems IDSs or IDNs or colorations could have greater bargaining power,
which may lead to decreases in prices for our products, and consequently could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in the Healthcare Financing and Reimbursement System Could Adversely Affect the Amount of and Manner in which Our Customers Purchase Our Products And Services.
Changes in current healthcare financing and reimbursement
systems (e.g., Medicaid) could result in unplanned product enhancements, delays or cancellations of product orders or shipments, or reduce the need for certain systems. We could also have the endorsement of products by hospital associations or other
customers revoked. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business. Alternatively, the federal government recently mandated that all but small healthcare providers submit claims to Medicare in electronic format, which
may positively affect sales of our systems and products.
14
Healthcare Regulations and Reform Proposals Could Adversely Affect Demand for Our Products.
The healthcare industry in the United States is subject to changing
political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operations of healthcare organizations. The traditional hospital delivery system is evolving as more hospital services are being provided by niche, free
standing practices and outpatient providers. The commercial value and appeal of our products may be adversely affected if the current healthcare financing and reimbursement systems were to change. During the past several years, the healthcare
industry has been subject to increasing levels of governmental regulation. Proposals to reform the healthcare system have been and are being considered by the United States Congress. These proposals, if enacted, could adversely affect the commercial
value and appeal of our products or change the operating environment of our customers in ways that cannot be predicted. Healthcare organizations may react to these proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our products
and services. In addition, the regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) could lead healthcare organizations to curtail or defer investments in non-HIPAA related features in the
next several years.
Government Regulation of E-Prescribing and Electronic
Health Record Technologies Could Increase Administrative Costs and Decrease Product Demand.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued final rules protecting certain eligible entities that provide electronic
prescribing (e-prescribing) and electronic health record (EHR) items and services to certain eligible recipients. The final rules became effective October 10, 2006. The EHR safe harbor protects, among other things, donations of software or
information technology. The rule requires that a recipient pay 15% of the donors cost for the items and services and also requires that reference to the donors cost of the items or services be included in the agreement between the
parties. The safe harbor will sunset on December 31, 2013. The e-prescribing safe harbor is largely reflective of the Congressional mandate requiring its implementation under MMA. This safe harbor does not include a requirement that the
provider bear 15% of costs. The EHR and e-prescribing exceptions to the physician self-referral (Stark) law are very similar to the anti-kickback safe harbors, described above, while nevertheless accounting for the differences in the underlying
statutes. For example, the EHR exception requires a receiving physician to pay 15% of the cost of the items or services, and the exception will sunset in 2013.
One or more of the above-referenced rules may increase the administrative costs typically associated with the sale of our products to the extent we are
required to provide more detailed cost estimates to both parties participating in a proposed donation of technology. Failure on our part to provide accurate cost estimates could lead to contractual or legal exposure. In addition, we may be asked to
execute agreements between prospective donors and recipients as a third party. Such requests may require additional review and analysis. In some cases, an agreement may provide either or both parties with the option to terminate the agreement upon
either a change in law or experienced counsels opinion of the law. As these safe harbors and exceptions may be subject to ambiguity, differing interpretation, and potential future sub-regulatory guidance, and given the inherent sensitivities
to achieving compliance with safe harbors and exceptions, such termination provisions may have a negative impact on contractual certainty, especially in the context of certain longer-term arrangements, including servicing arrangements.
Customer frustration with the compliance obligations associated with the
above-referenced rules, or fear that failure to comply fully with these rules could result in legal exposure, could decrease demand for our products. Alternatively, the protection afforded by these rules for the donation of electronic health
information technologies may positively affect sales of our systems and products.
The Variability and Length of Our Sales Cycle for Our Products May Exacerbate the Unpredictability and Volatility of Our Operating Results.
We cannot accurately forecast the timing of customer purchases due to the complex procurement decision processes of most healthcare providers and payers.
How and when to implement, replace, expand or substantially
15
modify an information system are major decisions for hospitals, and such decisions require these entities to make significant capital expenditures. As a
result, we typically experience sales cycles that extend over several quarters. In particular, our Patient Care and Revenue Management software has a higher average selling price and longer sales cycle than many of our other products. As a result,
we have only a limited ability to forecast the timing and size of specific sales, making the prediction of quarterly financial performance more difficult.
We Operate in a Highly Competitive Market.
Competition for our products and services is intense and is expected to increase. Increased competition could result in reductions in our prices, gross
margins and market share and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We compete with other providers of healthcare information software and services, as well as healthcare consulting firms. Some
competitors have formed business alliances with other competitors that may affect our ability to work with some potential customers. In addition, if some of our competitors merge, a stronger competitor may emerge. Some principal competitors include:
|
|
|
In the market for healthcare information systems: Epic Corporation, McKesson Corporation, Inc., Siemens Health Services, a division of Siemens Medical
Solutions of Siemens AG, MediTech Corporation, Eclipsys Corporation and Cerner;
|
|
|
|
In the market for electronic document management products: McKesson Corporation, SoftMed Corporation Inc., FileNet, Streamlined Health, MedPlus and Eclipsys
Corporation;
|
|
|
|
In the market for Smart Identity Management products and services: Initiate Systems, Inc., McKesson Corporation, Siemens Health Services, a division of Siemens
Medical Solutions of Siemens AG, and Medibase;
|
|
|
|
In the market for decision support products: Eclipsys Corporation, Healthcare Microsystems, Inc., a division of Health Management Systems Inc., McKesson
Corporation, Siemens Health Services, a division of Siemens Medical Solutions of Siemens AG, and MediQual Systems, Inc., a division of Cardinal Health, Inc.; and
|
|
|
|
In the market for coding, compliance, data, and record management products in the Health Information Management Software Division: 3M Corporation, SoftMed
Corporation, Inc (recently acquired by 3M Corporation), MetaHealth, Eclipsys Corporation and HSS, Inc., an Ingenix Corporation.
|
Prospective customers may evaluate our products capabilities against the merits of their existing information systems and expertise and decide to
stay with their incumbent vendor due to the cost associated with conversion. In addition, existing and prospective customers may be reluctant to buy from us because of the losses we have incurred in past years.
Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater
financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources, and market recognition than we have. These competitors may be in a position to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can.
Our competitors also have, or may develop or acquire, substantial installed customer bases in the healthcare industry. As a result of these factors, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, changes in
customer requirements and changes in the political, economic or regulatory environment in the healthcare industry.
We Have Encountered Significant Challenges Integrating Acquired Businesses, and Future Transactions May Adversely Affect Our Business, Operations and Financial
Condition.
Throughout our history, we have made many
acquisitions and have encountered significant challenges integrating the acquired businesses into our operations. In recent years, we have made significant progress toward that integration. However, we continue to support different technology
platforms. In the future, we plan to
16
make investments in or acquire additional complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. These investments and acquisitions, including our
acquisition of the CPR assets and related business of Misys Hospital Systems, Inc., as discussed in Note 4
Acquisition of the Misys Computerized Patient Records Business
to the financial statements, will create new integration
challenges. Some of the challenges we have encountered, and may encounter with acquisitions in the future, in integrating acquired businesses include:
|
|
|
Interruption, disruption or delay of our ongoing business;
|
|
|
|
Distraction of managements attention from other matters;
|
|
|
|
Additional operational and administrative expenses;
|
|
|
|
Difficulty managing geographically dispersed operations;
|
|
|
|
Failure of acquired businesses to achieve expected results, resulting in our failure to realize anticipated benefits;
|
|
|
|
Write-down or reclassification of acquired assets;
|
|
|
|
Failure to retain key acquired personnel and difficulty and expense of training those retained;
|
|
|
|
Increases in compensation and stock compensation expenses resulting from newly hired employees;
|
|
|
|
Assumption of liabilities and potential for disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses;
|
|
|
|
Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems related to acquired businesses;
|
|
|
|
Failure to maintain good relations with customers or suppliers;
|
|
|
|
Exposure to the risks of entering markets in which we have no prior direct experience and to risks associated with market acceptance of acquired products and
technologies; and
|
|
|
|
Platform and technical issues related to integrating systems from various acquired companies.
|
In the past, all of these factors have had an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. We could also face these same challenges in the future.
Our Laboratory Solutions are Subject to FDA Regulation. We May Be Required to Make Substantial Changes to Our Products if More of Our Products Become Subject to FDA Regulation, which Could Require a Significant
Capital Investment.
Computer products used or intended
for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of diseases or other conditions or that affect the structure or function of the body are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (Act). Our Laboratory solutions are considered Class I medical devices that are regulated under the Act and amendments to the Act. While we were required to register our Laboratory solutions with the
FDA, they are exempted from the FDAs more onerous and costly premarket notification procedures.
In the future, the FDA could determine that some of our products, because of their predictive aspects, are clinical decision tools and subject them to
regulation, including registration and, perhaps, premarket notification requirements. Compliance with such FDA regulations could be burdensome, time consuming and expensive. Other new laws and regulations affecting healthcare software development
also could be enacted in the future. If so, it is possible that our costs and the length of time for product development could increase and that other unforeseeable consequences could arise.
17
Governmental Regulation of the Confidentiality of Patient Health Information Could Result in Our Customers Being
Unable to Use Our Products Without Significant Modification, which Could Require Significant Capital Expenditures.
There is substantial state and federal regulation of the confidentiality of patient health information and the circumstances under which such information
may be used by, disclosed to, or processed by us as a consequence of our contacts with various health plans and healthcare providers. This includes state and federal requirements designed to prevent I.D. theft. Although compliance with these laws
and regulations is presently the principal responsibility of our customers (
e.g
., health plans, hospitals, physicians or other healthcare providers), regulations governing patient confidentiality rights are dynamic and rapidly evolving. As
such, laws and regulations currently applicable only to certain healthcare entities could be modified so that they could directly apply to us. Additionally, changes to the laws and regulations that would require us to change our systems and our
methods may be made in the future, which could require significant expenditure of capital and decrease future business prospects. Also, additional federal and state legislation governing the dissemination of patient health information may be
proposed and adopted, which may also significantly affect our business. Finally, certain existing laws and regulations require healthcare entities to contractually pass on their obligations to other entities with which they do business; as such, we
are indirectly impacted by various additional laws and regulations.
HIPAA is a federal law that affects the use, disclosure, transmission and storage of individually identifiable health information referred to as protected health information. As directed by HIPAA, DHHS must promulgate standards
or rules for certain electronic health transactions, code sets, data security, unique identification numbers and privacy of protected health information. DHHS has issued some of these rules in final form, while others remain in development. In
general, under these rules, we function as a business associate to some of our customers (who are considered to be covered entities under HIPAA). The three rules primarily relevant to us and our customersthe
Transactions Rule, the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule are discussed below. It is important to note that DHHS could, at any time in the future, modify any existing final rule in a manner that could require us to change our systems or
operations.
DHHS published three rules under HIPAA that are
primarily relevant to us and our customers: the Transactions Rule governs transactions and code set standards; the Privacy Rule governs the exchange or creation of protected health information; and the Security Rule the use, disclosure,
transmission, storage and destruction of electronic protected health information.
We have completed modifications to our business practices and software offerings so that we are able to assist our customers in complying with the Transactions Rule, Privacy Rule and Security Rule. However, DHHS
continues to publish change notices to the existing rules and propose new rules. There is no certainty that we will be able to respond to all such rules in a timely manner and our inability to do so could adversely affect our business.
Government Regulation to Adopt and Implement ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Medical Code Set
Standards Could Require Substantial Modification of our Coding and Compliance Software
The American Health Information Management Association and other prominent healthcare industry advocacy groups are calling on DHHS and the healthcare industry to take action to adopt and implement ICD-10-CM and
ICD-10-PCS code sets, rules and guidelines as a replacement for current ICD-9-CM guidelines used in our software products. Adoption of these new code sets would require us to change our systems and our methods which could require a significant
expenditure of software development capital and decrease future business prospects for our current product line.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None
Item 2. Properties
We
lease all of our facilities and do not own any real property. Our executive and corporate offices are located in Reston, Virginia, in approximately 70,750 square feet of leased office space under a lease that expires in 2011. We also lease
approximately 41,000 and 34,000 square feet of office space in San Marcos, California and San Rafael, California, respectively. The San Marcos lease expires in May 2008 and the San Rafael lease expires in December 2009. Beginning in 2006, we
subleased 33% of the vacant San Rafael, California facility in 2006, and we continue to actively market the remaining space for sublease. Also in 2006, the Company subleased 100% of the San Marcos, California facility. We believe that our facilities
provide sufficient space for our present needs, and that additional suitable space, if needed, would be available on reasonable terms.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business, but management does not believe that the resolution of any pending proceedings would have a material adverse effect on the companys financial position or results of
operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter 2007.

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The business mission of QuadraMed Corporation, along with
our subsidiaries, is to advance the success of healthcare organizations through IT solutions that leverage quality care into positive financial outcomes. Our driving principles include: maintaining long-term client relationships, building a culture
of customer care, focusing on innovation as the key to winning, and striving to always deliver value. We offer innovative, user-friendly software applications designed and developed by the healthcare professionals and software specialists we employ.
In the healthcare market, clinical information and quality
measurements are becoming drivers of revenue management. Access management, financial decision support, health information management (HIM) processes and systems combined with patient accounting systems are driving revenue management
improvements and the movement to new quality based reimbursement models. As evolving reimbursement scenarios will challenge hospitals to leverage quality of care into appropriate payment, we envision that customers committing to our Care-Based
Revenue Cycle solutions will realize improved financial performance. Our goal is to assist our customers in attaining significant improvement in hospital financial success by leveraging quality of care into positive financial outcomes through
performance-based IT solutions. We accomplish this by delivering healthcare information technology products and services supporting the healthcare organizations efforts to improve the quality of care they deliver and the efficiency with which
it is delivered.
Using our end-to-end solutions to optimize
the patient experience and leverage quality of care into payment, our clients seek to receive the proper reimbursement, in the shortest time, at the lowest administrative cost. Our products are designed to eliminate paper, improve processes, improve
efficiencies and decrease error through the efficient management of patient clinical and financial records, resulting in better patient safety. Healthcare organizations of varying sizefrom small single entity hospitals to large multi-facility
care delivery organizations, acute care hospitals, specialty hospitals, Veterans Health Administration facilities and associated/affiliated businesses such as outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, and rehabilitation hospitals gain value
from our solutions.
We conduct business directly and through
our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned and operated under common management. In February 2004 we acquired Détente Systems Pty Limited of Sydney, Australia, a vendor of laboratory and radiology management software. In June 2004, we
acquired Tempus Software, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida, a vendor of enterprise-wide hospital scheduling software. In September 2007, we acquired the Misys Computerized Patient Record business through an asset purchase. In December 2004, we
announced the shut down of our Financial Services Division and its operations ceased in February 2005. From that point forward, the Company has considered itself to be a single reporting segment, specifically a software provider segment.
2. QUADRAMED CORPORATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Financial Statement Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements, which
include the accounts of QuadraMed and all significant business divisions and wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and
(ii) the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between QuadraMed and its subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
We make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions have been made regarding revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, litigation, deferred
revenue and intangibles resulting from our purchase business combinations, stock-based compensation and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and other amounts. We base estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other
assumptions which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainties inherent in these estimates include, among other things, significant estimates within percentage-of-completion accounting. In addition, we review at least
annually our estimates related to the valuations of intangibles including acquired technology, goodwill, customer lists, trademarks and other intangibles and capitalized software. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and
assumptions.
Reclassifications
We have grown through multiple acquisitions based on a product-centric
organizational structure. Acquired entities such as Tempus Software, Inc. and Détente Systems Pty Limited had been operated as standalone business units, rather than centralized business functions. Historically, our organizational structure
contained several departments and remote locations which performed multiple levels of tasks in a cross-functional environment in order to manage and support specific product lines within the Company. In connection with our corporate vision, mission
statement and executive management philosophy, during 2006 and early 2007 we implemented a new organizational structure designed to capitalize on our internal resources and strengths. The new structure supports centralized operations, standardized
processes and optimizes functional-based expertise. As a result, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year revenue and expenses classifications to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications include the
reclassification of certain revenue components to more appropriately identify individual elements such as services, installation and hardware within our revenue mix, along with any associated cost elements, as well as reclassifications of certain
employee related expenses to better align functions performed with financial classifications.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is principally generated from (i) licensing arrangements, services and hardware.
The Companys license revenue consists of fees for licenses of its proprietary software as well as the software of third-party providers. Cost of
license revenue primarily includes the costs of third-party software, royalties and amortization of acquired technology and capitalized software. The Companys services revenue consists of maintenance, software installation, customer training
and consulting services related to our license revenue, fees for providing management services, specialized staffing, and analytical services. Cost of services consists primarily of salaries, benefits and allocated costs related to providing such
services. Hardware revenue includes third-party hardware used by our customers in connection with software purchased. Cost of hardware revenue consists of third-party equipment and installation.
We license products through a direct sales force. The Companys license
agreements for such products do not provide for a right of return, and historically, product returns have not been significant.
We recognize revenue on software products in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition
, as
amended; SOP 81-1,
Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts
; and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104,

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: there is persuasive evidence of an
arrangement; the product has been delivered; we no longer have significant obligations with regard to implementation; the fee is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of
loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. The Company considers all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 180 days to be neither fixed
nor determinable. Revenue for arrangements with extended payment terms is recognized when the payments become due, provided all other recognition criteria are satisfied. The Company typically defers revenue and recognizes revenue on a cash basis for
renewals of term license and support if the Companys initial assessment is modified by facts and circumstances and collection is no longer deemed probable. Revenue may also be deferred and recognized on a cash basis if there is a contractual
dispute and payments are delayed. Revenue is recognized when the collection becomes reasonably assured and/or the contract dispute is resolved.
We allocate revenue to each element in a multiple-element arrangement based on the elements respective fair value, with the fair value determined by
the price charged when that element is sold separately. Specifically, We determine the fair value of the maintenance portion of the arrangement based on the price if sold separately and measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer. The
professional services portion of the arrangement is based on hourly rates which we charge for these services when sold separately from software. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more
delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. The proportion of
revenue recognized upon delivery varies from quarter-to-quarter depending upon the mix of licensing arrangements, perpetual or term-based, and the determination of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for undelivered
elements. Many of our licensing arrangements include fixed implementation fees and do not allow us to recognize license revenue until these services have been performed. We recognize revenue only after establishing that we have VSOE for all
undelivered elements.
Some of the licenses are term or
time-based licenses. We recognize revenue from these contracts ratably over the term of the arrangement. Post-contract Customer Support (PCS) for all of the license term is bundled together with the term license and is included in term
license revenue in our consolidated financial statements.
Contract accounting is applied where services include significant software modification, installation or customization. In such instances, the services and license fee is accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1, whereby the revenue is
recognized, generally using the percentage-of-completion method measured on labor input hours. We use the completed-contract method of revenue recognition rather than the percentage-of-completion method for contracts with short implementation
service periods (typically less than 3-9 months) and in circumstances in which the Companys financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from the use of the percentage-of-completion method.
If increases in projected costs-to-complete are sufficient to create a loss contract, the entire estimated loss is charged to operations in the period the loss first becomes known. The complexity of the estimation process and judgment related to the
assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting can affect the amounts of revenue and related expenses reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements. The
Company classifies revenues from these arrangements as license, installation, hardware, and services revenue based on the estimated fair value of each element using the residual method, and revenues are reflected in respective revenue categories in
our consolidated financial statements.
Service revenues from
software maintenance and support are recognized ratably over the maintenance term, which in most cases is one year. Service revenues from training, consulting and other service elements are typically recognized as the services are performed.

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Hardware revenue is generated primarily from transactions in which customers purchased bundled
solutions that included the Companys software and third-party hardware. If the bundled solution includes services that provide significant modification, installation or customization, contract accounting is applied in accordance with SOP 81-1,
whereby the revenue is recognized, generally using the percentage-of-completion method measured on labor input hours. Otherwise, hardware revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is
fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Deferred revenue includes amounts billed to or received from customers for which revenue has not been recognized. This generally results from deferred maintenance, software installation, consulting and training services not yet rendered.
License revenue is deferred until all revenue requirements have been met or as services are performed. Additionally, there are term-based licenses for which revenues are recognized over the term of the contract, which is generally one year. Unbilled
receivables are established when revenue is deemed to be recognized based on our revenue recognition policy, however the Company does not have the right to bill the customer per the contract terms.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised principally of money market
instruments and demand deposits with financial institutions and cash surrender values of life insurance policies. These instruments carry insignificant interest rate risk.
Investments
We consider our holdings of short-term and long-term securities, consisting primarily of fixed income securities and cash surrender values of life
insurance policies, to be available-for-sale securities. The difference between cost or amortized cost (cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts that are recognized as adjustments to interest income) and fair value,
representing unrealized holdings gains or losses, net of the related tax effect, if any, is recorded, until realized, as a separate component of stockholders equity. Gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are determined on a specific
identification basis. Realized gains and losses are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Companys short-term investments also includes auction rate securities which are debt
instruments having longer-dated (in most cases, many years) legal maturities, but with interest rates that are generally reset every 7 or 28 days under an auction system. Because auction rate securities are frequently re-priced, they trade in
the market on par-in, par-out basis. Because the Company regularly liquidates its investments in these securities for reasons including, among others, changes in market interest rates and changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative
investments, the Company has classified these securities as available-for-sale securities. As available-for-sale securities, these investments are carried at fair value, which approximates cost. Despite the liquid nature of these investments, the
Company categorizes them as short-term investments instead of cash and cash equivalents due to the underlying legal maturities of such securities. However, they have been classified as current assets as they are generally available to support the
Companys current operations. There have been no realized gains or losses on these investments. See Note 21
Subsequent Events
.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to QuadraMed from normal business activities. We provide an allowance
for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific identified risks.
F-11
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable represent our highest potential concentration of credit
risk. We reserve for credit losses and do not require collateral on our trade accounts receivable. In addition, we maintain cash and investment balances in accounts at various domestic banks and brokerage firms. Our balances at banks are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $100,000 at each bank but balances maintained at the brokerage firms are not insured.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are generally three
years for computer equipment and purchased software and five years for office furnishings and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life (generally 10 years). Maintenance and repair
costs are expensed as incurred. We review property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For property and equipment sales and
disposals, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and net amounts, less proceeds from disposals, are included in income.
Goodwill
We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS
142). Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more often if an event or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss has been incurred. We have determined that we have one
reporting unit under the criteria set forth by SFAS 142. We reviewed goodwill for impairment and determined that the fair value of the single reporting unit exceeded the carrying values of the net assets. Accordingly, no indicators of
impairment existed.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets primarily relate to customer lists,
acquired technology including developed and core technology and trade names, and other intangible assets acquired in our purchase business combinations. On an annual basis, or upon the occurrence of a triggering event, we review our intangible
assets for impairment based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value
of the assets, the assets are written down to their net realizable values. Intangible assets are amortized over a period of two to ten years, which the Company estimated to reflect their useful lives.
Software Development Costs
In accordance with SFAS No. 86
Accounting fro the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed
, we capitalize any certain software development costs upon establishment of technological feasibility until the product is generally available to the market.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted
marginal tax rate.
F-12
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
SFAS 109 requires that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
This process requires our management to make assessments regarding the timing and probability of the ultimate tax impact. We record valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if we determine it is more likely than
not that the asset will not be realized. Additionally, we establish reserves for uncertain tax positions based upon our judgment regarding potential future challenges to those positions. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to
future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our inability to generate sufficient future taxable income or unpredicted results from the final determination of each years liability by taxing
authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position.
The accounting estimate related to the tax valuation allowance requires us to make assumptions regarding the timing of future events, including the probability of expected future taxable income and available tax
planning opportunities. These assumptions require significant judgment because actual performance has fluctuated in the past and may do so in the future. The impact that changes in actual performance versus these estimates could have on the
realization of tax benefits as reported in our results of operations could be material.
In previous years, we provided a full tax valuation allowance for our federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets based on managements evaluation that our ability to realize such assets did not meet the
criteria of more likely than not. We have continuously evaluated additional facts representing positive and negative evidence in the determination of our ability to realize the deferred tax assets. These deferred tax assets consist
primarily of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as well as deductible temporary differences. In the year ended December 31, 2007, management has determined, based on new positive evidence as the result of two consecutive years of pretax
operating income (2007 and 2006) and anticipated future taxable income over the next 3 years budgeted and forecast amounts, that it is now more likely than not that most of these deferred tax assets will be realized in the future. Accordingly,
we determined that it is appropriate to reduce the deferred tax asset valuation allowance by approximately $69.0 million as of December 31, 2007. This has resulted in a benefit to deferred tax expense of $63.8 million for the year 2007, a reduction
of goodwill from prior acquisitions of $4.2 million, and an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of $1.0 million. The $63.8 million benefit is comprised of a federal benefit of $57.0 million and a state benefit of $7.3 million, and a foreign
provision of $0.5 million.
We adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. The accounting estimates related to the liability for uncertain tax positions require us to make
judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If we determine it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, we record the impact of the position in
our consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstances and information
available. We are also required to assess at each reporting date whether it is reasonably possible that any significant increases or decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits will occur during the next twelve months. See note 18

Sales Taxes
In accordance with EITF 06-3,
How Sales Taxes Collected from Clients and
Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (gross versus net presentation)
, we report sales taxes collected from clients and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

Accounting for and Disclosure of Guarantees and Indemnifications
Our software license agreements generally include a performance guarantee
that our software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 90 days after delivery. We also generally warrant that services performed will be provided in a manner consistent with
reasonably applicable industry standards. To date, we have not incurred any material costs associated with these warranties. Our software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers for claims for infringement of
intellectual property. To date, no such claims have been filed against the Company.
Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R) using the modified prospective method as of January 1, 2006. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized based on the requirements of SFAS 123R
for all share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, and for all awards granted, but not vested, prior to January 1, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic method of measuring and recognizing
employee stock-based transactions under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
Consequently, no expense was recognized for stock award grants if the exercise price was at
least equal to the market value of the common stock at the date of grant and expense was recognized if the exercise price was below the market value at the date of grant.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per
share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the
treasury stock method) and conversion of preferred stock (using the as-converted method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from the diluted computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Translation of
Foreign Financial Statements
The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiaries is their local currency, the Australian dollar, the British Pound Sterling, and the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of
the Companys foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rates for the period. Translation adjustments are recorded as a
component of other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) recorded in operating expenses were approximately $(83,000) for 2007, $(62,000) for 2006 and $20,000 for 2005.
Recent Accounting Standards
In September 2006, EITF 06-4,
Accounting for Deferred
Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
, (EITF 06-4) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 06-4 requires that,
for split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106. EITF 06-4 requires
that recognition of the effects of adoption should be either by (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting
principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS
No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that
fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The provisions of
SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position to partially delay the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for
all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Based on the FASB Staff
Position, the partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations in 2008. We are still assessing the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on our nonrecurring measurements for
non-financial assets and liabilities in 2009.
In February
2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Asset and Financial Liability: Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115
(SFAS No. 159). The standard permits all entities
to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15,
2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business
combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair values, changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, changes the recognition and
measurement of contingent consideration, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS 141R also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination, such that users of the entitys
financial statements can fully understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which is our fiscal 2009. An entity may not apply it before that date. The provisions of SFAS 141R will only impact us if we are party to a business combination after the
pronouncement has been adopted.
In December 2007, the
FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (SFAS 160),
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51
. SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards
for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not currently expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
4. ACQUISTION OF THE MISYS COMPUTERIZED PATIENT RECORDS BUSINESS
On September 23, 2007, the Company, through QuadCopper, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its acquisition of the Computerized Patient Record
(CPR) business and assets of Misys plc pursuant to the previously announced asset purchase agreement (the Agreement), dated July 22, 2007, by and among Misys Hospital Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Misys plc, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, QuadCopper LLC, and the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid $33.0 million in cash for the CPR Business.

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The total purchase price, including related acquisition costs of approximately $0.9 million, was
approximately $33.9 million. The cash used by the Company to acquire the CPR Business came from the Companys available cash and the conversion of short term investments into cash. No gains or losses on the conversions were recorded as the
investments were not sold prior to their maturity dates. The results of the CPR Business operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.

information systems business in large hospitals and multi-facility engagements where we would otherwise not be able to compete. Goodwill increased by approximately $0.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 due primarily to the incurrence of

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONFINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION AND EXIT COST OF FACILITY
CLOSING
During the year ended December 31, 2004, we
recorded a loss on discontinued operations of $3.2 million primarily related to the write-down of assets of our Financial Services Division (FSD) upon the announcement of the business closing. We also reported a $3.6 million loss from discontinued
operations resulting from the operating losses incurred by FSD during 2004. In the first quarter of 2005, we recorded an additional $1.7 million loss from discontinued operations in connection with the closing of FSD in February. This loss included
among other things, severance costs, and a $1.0 million charge related to the future lease obligations of the FSDs office in San Marcos, California. In the third quarter of 2005, we recorded an additional charge of approximately $0.8 million
in connection with the lease obligation. The lease for this facility terminates in May 2008. We have estimated the facility closing costs based upon current market information available related to potential sublease rental income, sublease
commission costs, and the length of time expected to secure a sublease. During 2006, the Company secured a sub-tenant for 100% of the space.
The results of operations for the Financial Services Division, as discussed above, are presented in the table below (in thousands):

In 2004, we vacated
and closed our San Rafael, California facility as a result of the relocation of our headquarters to Reston, Virginia. The present value of the estimated liability was approximately $4.0 million and was recorded in 2004 as an accrued exit cost of
facility closing. In the third quarter of 2005, we reevaluated this estimate, and determined that an additional $1.1 million charge should be recorded as an accrued exit cost. The San Rafael future minimum lease payments net of sublease income total
approximately $1.3 million for years 2008 and 2009. In connection with the relocation of our corporate headquarters to Reston, Virginia, we actively marketed and subleased 33% of the vacant San Rafael, California facility in 2006. We continue to
actively market for sublease the remaining space. The lease for this facility terminates in December 2009.

The loss estimates on
both the leases were reevaluated in the third quarter of 2005 resulting in additional sublease losses being recorded. In 2005, the San Rafael liability was increased by $0.8 million and the San Marcos lease liability was increased by $1.1 million.
The short-term portion of accrued exit cost of facility closing is included in the other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
6. EMPLOYMENT MATTERS
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company and its legal counsel completed a Company initiated review of job descriptions and employee wage/hour
classifications. As a result, we changed the wage/hour classifications for certain employees to ensure compliance with applicable law and paid past overtime to the affected employees at the end of November. We recorded $1.2 million of additional
compensation expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 related to these actions.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we announced a corporate reorganization and a reduction in our workforce of 37 positions. At that time, we recorded a charge for severance and related costs of
approximately $0.3 million, associated with terminated employees, which was reflected in our results of operations for the first quarter of 2006.
On February 5, 2008 we announced a strategic initiative to increase overall product development capacity and to further accelerate delivery of our
Care-based Revenue Cycle product strategy to the healthcare market. Related to this capacity expansion and resource re-allocation initiative, we eliminated 69 positions in various technical, administrative and other non-technical
areas. The Company expects to report a one time severance cost in Q1 2008 of approximately $0.6 million. See NOTE 21

Stand-by Letters of
Credit
As of December 31, 2007, we had $2.4 million in stand-by letters of credit under bank financing agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2007. We pay up to 2% annual fees to renew existing stand-by letters of credit and
secures all of the stand-by letters of credit with certificates of deposit. The $2.4 million outstanding value has remained consistent since December 31, 2005. These letters of credit are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as restricted
cash.
Marketable Investments in Other
Companies
From 1997 to 1999, we purchased 599,425 shares at a cost of $4.7 million in VantageMed Corporation (VantageMed), a company that develops and sells software to physician groups. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, we recorded
other-than-temporary impairment charges of $551,000, $86,000 and $4.1 million, respectively, to reflect permanent reductions in the fair value of this investment in accordance with SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities.
As of December 31, 2006, the carrying value of the VantageMed investment was zero. During 2007, we tendered the securities back to the issuer for cash and a $0.5 million gain on the liquidation of our investment in
VantageMed Corporation was realized and recorded as Other Income.
Variable Life Insurance Policies
We have an investment interest in two variable life insurance policies. Each of the variable life insurance policies provides for the investment of the cash value portion into various
sub-accounts that are similar in nature to mutual funds. The policies are issued pursuant to split-dollar agreements with former executives. Trusts have been established for their benefit and make the investment decisions on these policies. We are
entitled to reimbursement for all annual premiums paid from 1998 to 2002 under the split-dollar life insurance policies. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the carrying value of the asset was $2.8 million. This amount is included in other
long-term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During 2004 and part of 2005, we owned, and contributed to, a grantor, or rabbi, trust established to make contributions to satisfy obligations under a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and two other subsequently
terminated benefit plans. We made the investment decisions on this policy. The performance of the variable life insurance policy for cash value and premium amounts varied depending on the performance of the selected underlying sub-accounts. Pursuant
to FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4,
Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance
, we reported the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract as an asset valued as of the balance sheet date and treated the change in value
during the reported period as an adjustment of premiums paid in determining the expense or income to be recognized. The cash surrender value of the policy as of December 31, 2004 was $2.6 million, and was included in other long-term assets in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. On July 6, 2005, the Company settled its litigation with Mr. James Durham, its former Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement and General Release between the
F-20
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
parties (Settlement Agreement), the Company made an immediate cash payment of approximately $3.6 million and issued a Negotiable Promissory Note
(the Note) to Mr. Durham in the principal amount of $1.4 million and with an interest rate of 5.12% per annum. The immediate cash payment was funded principally by the liquation of certain assets, including the
rabbi trust which was earmarked for such purpose. Annual principal payments become due under the note agreement on January 1
st
of
each year along with accrued interest beginning in 2009. The Note is scheduled to be fully paid on January 1, 2013.

Rent expense was $3.2

In addition, as previously discussed, we recorded exit costs related to the write-down of the two vacated properties totaling $2.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company vacated and closed its San Rafael, California facility as a result of the relocation of our headquarters to Reston, Virginia. At December 31, 2004, the present value
of the estimated liability was approximately $4.0 million and was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004 as an accrued exit cost of facility closing. In the third quarter of 2005, the sublease loss was reevaluated and an additional $1.1 million was
recorded. The San Rafael future minimum lease payments net of sublease income total approximately $1.3 million for years 2008 and 2009. In connection with the relocation of our corporate headquarters to Reston, Virginia, we actively marketed and
subleased 33% of the vacant San Rafael, California facility in 2006. We continue to actively market for sublease the remaining space. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company closed its Financial Services
F-22
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Division and vacated the facility in San Marcos, California. The present value of the estimated liability was approximately $1.0 million and was recorded in
the first quarter of 2005 as an accrued exit cost of facility closing. In the third quarter of 2005, the sublease loss was reevaluated and an additional $0.8 million was recorded. The San Marcos facility is not reflected in the future minimum lease
obligation schedule as the sublease income and master lease obligation approximate the same value. The Company actively marketed this space and subleased 100% of the facility in 2006.
See NOTE 5DISCONTINUED OPERATIONFINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION AND EXIT COST OF FACILITY CLOSING for additional
information.
12. LINE OF CREDIT
On December 5, 2006, we entered into a working capital line of credit
agreement with our principal bank, under which we may borrow up to $2.0 million. This credit facility is secured by 90-Day Certificates of Deposits. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at varying rates based on an independent index
which is defined as the rate charged by the Lender on the underlying Certificates of Deposit plus 1.5 basis points. The initial interest rate is established as 6.4% per annum. The line of credit has a stated maturity of December 1, 2008.
There have been no borrowings, and there was no balance outstanding associated with this line of credit as of December 31, 2007 and as of December 31, 2006.
13. SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
On June 17, 2004, QuadraMed issued 4.0 million shares of Series A Cumulative Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred
Stock) in a private, unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The Series A Preferred Stock was sold for $25 per share, and we used the $96.1 million of net
proceeds of the offering to repurchase all of our Senior Secured Notes due 2008 (the 2008 Notes) and our 5.25% Convertible Subordinated 2005 Notes (the 2005 Notes), together with accrued interest and related redemption
premiums; the remainder was used for general corporate purposes.
The Series A Preferred Stock holders do not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting rights and powers, except that (i) if four quarterly dividend payments are in arrears, such holders are entitled to elect two
substitute directors to the Board of Directors at any annual or special meeting, and (ii) in certain circumstances, such holders are entitled to vote on the authorization or creation of securities ranking on par with or above the Series A
Preferred Stock, certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock and the incurrence of new senior indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $8 million. Prior to
the authorization or creation of, or increase in the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series (or any security convertible into shares of any class or series) ranking senior to or on par with the Series A Preferred Stock in the
distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of QuadraMed or in the payment of dividends, QuadraMed must have the affirmative vote of a majority of any outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (along with any
shares of every other series or class of common stock ranking on par with the Series A Preferred Stock having like voting rights). In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, before any payment
or distribution of the Companys assets is made or set apart for the holders of common stock or any other class or series of shares of the Companys capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of
dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share plus an amount equal to all dividends
(whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and unpaid to the date of final distribution. However, for purposes of the foregoing provision, (1) a consolidation or merger of the Company
F-23
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
with one or more entities, (2) a statutory share exchange or (3) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Companys assets shall
not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to quarterly dividends of $0.34 (5.5% per annum) and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.10, equivalent to a conversion rate
of 8.0645 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price of $3.40 (conversion rate of 7.3529 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock) decreased to $3.10 as of August 1,
2005, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, as the volume weighted average of the daily market price per share during a period of 30 consecutive trading days equaled $2.75 or less during
the one year period beginning on the first anniversary of the issue date. Additionally, as provided in the Certificate of Designation, because the Company had not as of June 15, 2005 completed the registration of the Series A Preferred Stock
with the SEC, the dividend rate for such stock increased to $0.40625 per quarter ($1.625 per annum) on June 16, 2005, and such rate applied through December 1, 2006, the date the registration statement for the four million Series A
Preferred Stock shares, and the 32.3 million shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted, was declared effective. The Company has the right to demand conversion on or after May 31, 2007, in the event the
volume weighted average of the daily market price per share during a period of 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $5.10.
Upon the conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to shares of common stock on or after May 31, 2007, the Series A Preferred Stock
holders have an option to convert and receive, when declared by the board of directors, dividends equal to the total previously unpaid dividends payable from the effective date of conversion through June 1, 2007 at a rate of $1.375 per annum,
or 5.5% per annum, discounted to present value at a rate of 5.5% per annum, payable in cash or common shares or any combination thereof at the option of the Company. As of July 15, 2007 all such dividends subject to this provision had
been paid.
As a result of the aforementioned discounted
dividend feature, at the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company recorded dividends payable of $15.2 million, which represents the present value of the three-year dividends. The present value adjustment of $1.3 million is being
amortized over three years as interest expense using the effective interest rate method. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million were recorded as interest expense, respectively and as of
December 31, 2007, the $1.3 million present value adjustment has been fully amortized.
The carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock was also reduced by $15.2 million, which represents the imputed discount on the Series A Preferred Stock and which is being accreted over three years using the
effective interest rate method. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately $2.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively was accreted and charged to accumulated deficit. If any Series A Preferred Stock shares are converted
prior to the end of the three-year period, the related accretion will be accelerated. The Company determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to the Series A Preferred Stock.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment
, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their
grant-date fair values, using prescribed option-pricing models. The fair value is expensed over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R)s fair
value method of accounting for share-based payments using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, periods prior to adoption have not been restated and are not directly comparable to periods after adoption. However, had we adopted
SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 illustrated in the disclosure of pro forma net income and net income per share contained in our notes to consolidated
financial statements included herein. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005,
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, less estimated forfeitures, and (b) compensation costs for all share-based payments granted and vested subsequent to December 31,
2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).
SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow,
rather than as an operating cash flow as required under previous literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $2.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and is allocated to cost of services, sales and marketing, general and administrative or software development expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
We had an excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation or capitalized stock-based compensation costs of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. There were no excess tax benefits recognized for the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, for 2005, the Company accounted for share-based payments using APB Opinion No. 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options
within its financial statements. However, had we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in 2005, the impact of that standard would have been approximately $1.8 million additional stock based compensation expense in 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
We have presented pro-forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, as
if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method as required by SFAS No. 123(R), for the year ended December 31, 2005. The fair value of these stock-based awards to employees was estimated using the Black
Scholes-Merton option pricing model. If compensation cost for our companys stock option plans had been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123(R) for 2005, our reported net loss and net loss per share would have changed to the amounts

Stock Incentive
Plans
We have issued stock options and restricted
stock under its 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan), the 1999 Supplemental Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan), and the 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (the 2004 Plan), all of which were approved by stockholders.
The 2004 Plan superseded the 1996 Plan, as amended, and the 1999 Plan, as amended, as of May 6, 2004, although stock options and restricted stock granted under the 1996 Plan and the 1999 Plan outstanding as of that date remain subject to the
terms of those plans. Significant grants were made outside these plans pursuant to contracts with executives as an inducement to employment. Total non-plan stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007 were 1,325,000.
1996 Stock Incentive Plan
Under the 1996 Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive and
nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants. The 1996 Plan is divided into the following five separate equity programs: (i) the discretionary option grant program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the
plan administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of common stock; (ii) the salary investment option grant program under which eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their base salary invested each year in special option
grants; (iii) the stock issuance program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the plan administrator, be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services
rendered to QuadraMed; (iv) the automatic option grant program under which eligible non-employee board members shall automatically receive option grants at periodic intervals to purchase shares of common stock; and (v) the director fee
option program under which non-employee board members may elect to have all or any portion of their annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash applied to a special option grant.
The exercise price per share for an incentive stock option cannot be less than the fair market value on the date of grant.
The exercise price per share for a nonqualified stock option cannot be less than 85% of the fair
F-26
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
market value on the date of grant. Option grants under the 1996 Plan generally expire 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year
period. Options granted under the 1996 Plan are exercisable subject to the vesting schedule. Our companys stockholders had authorized a total of 8,831,093 shares of common stock for grant under the 1996 Plan, of which 2,901,677 were
outstanding at December 31, 2007. There were no shares available for grant at December 31, 2007.
1999 Supplemental Stock Option Plan
In 1999, the QuadraMed Board of Directors approved the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan permits non-statutory option grants to be made to employees, independent
consultants and advisors who are not QuadraMed officers, directors or Section 16 insiders. The 1999 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee and was scheduled to terminate in March 2009. The exercise price of
all options granted under the 1999 Plan may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date of the grant. Options vest on a schedule determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee with a maximum option term of 10 years.
The QuadraMed stockholders had authorized a total of 3,424,245 shares of common stock for grant under the 1999 Plan, of which 954,629 were outstanding at December 31, 2007. There were no shares available for grant at December 31, 2007.
2004 Stock Compensation Plan
On April 1, 2004, The QuadraMed Board of Directors approved the 2004
Plan. QuadraMeds stockholders ratified the adoption of the 2004 Plan on May 6, 2004 at QuadraMeds 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2004 Plan replaces the 1996 Plan and 1999 Plan with respect to the unissued shares of common
stock that were remaining in the 1996 Plan and the 1999 Plan on the date the 2004 Plan was ratified. Awards previously granted under the 1996 Plan and 1999 Plan remain subject to the terms of those plans. The QuadraMed stockholders initially
authorized 1,536,369 shares of common stock for grant under the 2004 Plan and increased the number of shares available to the 2004 Plan by 3,000,000 shares at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 7, 2007. As a result, the QuadraMed
stockholders authorized a total of 4,536,369 shares of common stock, for grant under the 2004 Plan, of which, 3,444,063 were outstanding at December 31, 2007. There were 1,032,955 shares available for grant under this plan at December 31,
2007.
The 2004 Plan permits the grant of non-statutory
options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, prospective employees, directors, and advisors, consultants, and other individuals who provide services to QuadraMed. The exercise
price of all options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2004 Plan may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The 2004 Plan also features (i) a Non-Employee Director Option Grant Program, whereby
non-employee members of the Board automatically receive grants of options with an exercise price of the fair market value per share of common stock as of the date the options are granted as of the date of our annual meetings of stockholders or upon
their initial election or appointment to the Board and (ii) a Director Fee Option Grant Program, whereby non-employee Board members may elect to have all or any portion of their annual cash retainer fee applied to special stock option grants
with a below-market exercise price. The 2004 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and terminates in May 2014.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2002 Purchase Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors in January 2002. A total of 703,450
shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2002 Purchase Plan, pursuant to which eligible employees are able to contribute up to 10% of their compensation for the purchase of QuadraMed common stock at a purchase price of 85% of the
lower of the fair market value of the

shares on the first or last day of the six-month purchase period. Stock-based compensation expense relating to shares purchased on behalf of plan
participants for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 totaled $118,000, $32,000 and $111,000, respectively.
Stock Options:
Stock options generally vest ratably over four years from the date of grant and terminate ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of the
options granted equaled or exceeded the market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. A summary of the stock option activity under all plans is as follows (in thousands except per share data):

The weighted average
remaining contractual term and the aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding at December 31, 2007 were 6.34 years and $0.5 million, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual term and the aggregate intrinsic value for
options exercisable at December 31, 2007 were 4.5 years and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options totaled approximately $4.6 million, which will be recognized
over a weighted average period of 1.44 years.
The fair value
of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The dividend yield of
zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends on common stock, and has no present intention of doing so. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for a term
equivalent to the expected life of the option. The expected life and expected volatility are based on historical experience. The Company uses an estimated forfeiture rate of 17.90% for calculating stock-based compensation expense related to stock
options and this rate is based on historical experience.
Based
on the above assumptions, the weighted average estimated fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $6.3 million, $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of
options granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $2.33, $2.16 and $1.76 per share, respectively.

Restricted Share
Awards:
Our Company has issue from time to time,
common stock as restricted share awards, with a zero exercise price, as provided for under the QuadraMed stock compensation plans and other contractual commitments. The grants are generally made to certain senior executives. The majority of the
restrictions lapse over three to four years. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we issued 650,000 shares of common stock as restricted stock; we issued no restricted stock during 2006 or 2007. We record the fair value of the restricted
shares on the date they are granted as deferred compensation within the Stockholders Equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred compensation has been combined with additional paid-in capital as a result of the adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R). The fair value of the restricted share award is amortized as compensation expense over the period in which the restrictions lapse.
Compensation expense relating to grants of restricted stock totaled $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, $1.4 million was charged to severance expense relating to the early-vesting of restricted stock to former officers of the Company. As of
December 31, 2007, 580,000 shares of restricted stock remained subject to forfeiture.

15. STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 108
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(or SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify
financial statement misstatements.
There are two widely
recognized methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the roll-over and iron curtain methods. The roll-over method, the method we used, focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the
income statement, including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements. Because the focus is on the income statement, the roll-over method can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet that may be immaterial to the balance
sheet. The iron curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting for the accumulated misstatement as of the balance sheet date, essentially correcting the balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of
prior year errors on the income statements. In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements under both the roll-over and iron curtain
methods. This framework is referred to as the dual approach.
SAB 108 permits us to initially apply its provisions either by restating prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the dual
approach as adjustments to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to retained earnings. Use of the cumulative effect transition method is not permitted to be used for otherwise immaterial misstatements
that may be identified by a company and requires such immaterial misstatements to be recorded in current period earnings. We have completed our analysis under the dual approach of the previously existing immaterial errors and believe the
cumulative effect of correction would be material to the 2006 financial statements.
We have adopted SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006 and have initially applied its provisions using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2006. In accordance with SAB 108, the Company has adjusted beginning retained earnings for fiscal 2006 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the items described below. The Company considers these
adjustments to be immaterial to prior periods.
Therefore in
accordance with SAB 108, the Company reduced the opening balance of its accumulated deficit account in the amount of $1.9 million at January 1, with a corresponding adjustment to the impacted balance sheet accounts.
The errors being corrected are primarily the result of a material weakness in
the Companys internal controls over financial reporting detailed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as amended.

|
(a)
|
In late 2004, the Company began the process of converting a significant portion of its financial records (principally revenue cycle related items) from a legacy accounting system to
its principal financial software, PeopleSoft. Not all of the legacy contracts were converted completely into the new PeopleSoft module, resulting in the need to continue the use of manual processes, which significantly impaired managements
ability to effectively review, monitor and investigate movements in customer account balances. As a result, the Company identified an understatement of revenue for the periods as presented above.
|
(b)
|
The aforementioned weaknesses in our revenue cycle also affected our closing cycle for the year ended December 31, 2004. The manual processes referred to above were performed
substantially by our accounting and finance staff, with some reliance on outside consultants, the same people who are involved in the normal closing cycle. As a result, our year-end close process was affected in that less time was available for
normal closing and review procedures. These demands on the time of our staff and their overall workload resulted in an incorrect reconciliation of accrued royalty expense, which caused an understatement of royalty expense for the periods as
presented above.
|
(c)
|
The aforementioned weaknesses in our closing cycle resulted in incorrect income tax accounting related to the amortization of goodwill associated with certain acquired companies;
this resulted in an understatement of deferred income tax expense and deferred income tax payable for the periods as presented above.
|
(d)
|
The aforementioned weaknesses in our closing cycle resulted in an incorrect reconciliation of accrued benefit expense, which caused an overstatement of benefit expense for the
period as presented above.
|
(e)
|
The Company determined that we did not have fair value of VSOE on our HIM term licenses. Historically, installation and services revenue related to HIM term licenses had been
recognized upon delivery of services, resulting in a cumulative overstatement of revenue from 2003 through 2006. This adjustment creates an addition to deferred revenue, which will be amortized over the remaining term of licenses through 2011. Going
forward, installation and services revenue related to HIM term licenses will be recognized on a prorata basis over the license term.

16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
401(k) Savings Plan
Our company maintains a 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan). All eligible QuadraMed employees may participate in the Plan and elect to contribute
up to 80% of pre-tax compensation to the Plan. Employee contributions are 100% vested at all times. At our discretion, we may match employee contributions to the Plan. Presently, we match up to 50% of the first 4% of employee contributions. The
vesting of such contributions is based on the employees years of service, becoming 100% vested after 4 years. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were discretionary company contributions of approximately $0.8
million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million respectively.

17. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
For the year ended December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. The Veterans Health Administration facilities
accounted for 19% of our total revenues and The County of Los Angeles (LACO) accounted for 14% of our total revenues. In 2006, sales to Veterans Health Administration facilities, both directly and indirectly through Micron Government
Computer Systems accounted for approximately 13% of our total revenues and the County of Los Angeles accounted for 11% of our total revenues.
18. INCOME TAXES
We account for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting
for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this
method, deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of tax rate changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year that
the change is enacted.
The provision for income taxes consists

In previous years, we
provided a full tax valuation allowance for our federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets based on managements evaluation that our ability to realize such assets did not meet the criteria of more likely than not. We have
continuously evaluated additional facts representing positive and negative evidence in the determination of our ability to realize the deferred tax assets. These deferred tax assets consist primarily of net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards as well as deductible temporary differences. In the year ended December 31, 2007, management has determined, based on new positive evidence as the result of two consecutive years of pretax operating income (2007 and 2006) and
anticipated future taxable income over the next 3 years budgeted and forecast amounts, that it is now more likely than not that most of these deferred tax assets will be realized in the future. Accordingly, we determined that it is appropriate
to reduce the deferred tax asset valuation allowance by approximately $69.0 million as of December 31, 2007. This has resulted in a benefit to deferred tax expense of $63.8 million for the year 2007, a reduction of goodwill from prior acquisitions
of $4.2 million, and an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of $1.0 million. The $63.8 million benefit is comprised of a federal benefit of $57.0 million and a state benefit of $7.3 million, and a foreign provision of $0.5 million.
Although the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is no
longer required with respect to most of its domestic tax net operating losses and deductible temporary differences, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets which we do not believe are more likely than not to be
realized, including $0.7 million of deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses which will expire unused due to the interaction of carryforward periods and the limitation imposed under IRS Section 382, resulting from prior ownership changes
as discussed below. In addition, we continue to apply a valuation allowance related to $0.5 million of net operating losses from our Australian subsidiary due to their history of operating losses. The amount of valuation allowance maintained against
deferred tax assets totals $1.2 million as of December 31, 2007.
Our management will continue, in future periods, to assess the likely realization of the remaining net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance may change based on future changes in circumstances.

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
As of December 31, 2007, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $124.2
million and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $67.0 million, of which $5.3 million of federal and state net operating losses are from the excess tax benefits related to stock option deductions which will increase APIC once the
benefit is realized through a reduction of income taxes payable. In addition, we had federal and state software development and AMT tax credit carryforwards of approximately $3.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss
carryforwards and research and development credits will expire from 2011 through 2026.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposes substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of a corporations ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code. During 2007, we completed a study and determined that we experienced cumulative changes in ownership, as defined by these regulations, of greater than 50% in 1996, 1998, and 2004. These changes in ownership triggered the
imposition of an annual limitation on our ability to utilize certain U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and research tax credits , resulting in the potential loss of $1.7 million each of federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards and $3.9 million in research credit carryforwards. Losses and credits not utilized due to these limitations can be carried forward, but are subject to the expiration dates described above.

rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:

In June 2006, the FASB
issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the Interpretation) (FIN No. 48). The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The
Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have applied the provisions of the Interpretation effective January 1, 2007; however, the adoption of the Interpretation did not have a material effect on
the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In accordance with FIN No. 48, the Company will recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007, we recorded a
decrease to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $4.95 million, which relates primarily to positions taken during the periods prior to the adoption of FIN No. 48. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company
did not

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
recognize any interest or penalties due to the unrecognized tax benefits being fully provided for through a valuation allowance. This decrease primarily
results from the completion of the aforementioned study under IRC Section 382 to determine the total value of net operating losses and tax credits which may be limited should any ownership change have occurred during the companys
operating history. Upon completion of the study, it was determined that the total amount of prior year net operating loss carryforwards that would be limited under Section 382 was less than originally determined upon adoption of FIN
No. 48, and tax credits that would expire unused.
A
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:

income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, as well as in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2007 open tax years in the federal and some state jurisdictions date back to 1993 due to the
taxing authorities ability to adjust operating loss carry forwards. No changes in settled tax years have occurred through December 31, 2007. We do not anticipate there to be a material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits within the next 12 months.
19. LITIGATION AND OTHER MATTERS
As previously disclosed, on November 15, 2004, we
received a letter from MedCath Incorporated (MedCath), which provided notice of MedCaths decision to terminate the Master Software License and Services Agreement, dated November 20, 2002, by and between QuadraMed Affinity and
MedCath (the Contract). On or about November 15, 2004, MedCath filed a complaint against the Company in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Superior Court Division (Case No. 04CVS20137). In its complaint, MedCath alleged that
we were in breach of the Contract due to uncured deficiencies in the products and sought at least $5 million in damages, plus litigation costs. On December 9, 2004, we filed a motion to dismiss the MedCath complaint on the grounds that the
complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. We also filed a counterclaim against MedCath seeking no less than $1.14 million in unpaid amounts due to us, plus litigation costs, for MedCaths breach of the Contract by
failing to pay licensing fees due to us.
On April 28,
2006, we settled this litigation with MedCath. Pursuant to the Release and Settlement Agreement (the Settlement Agreement), our company paid MedCath a settlement payment of $2 million and the parties filed a Joint Stipulation of
Dismissal, with prejudice, of this lawsuit on May 8, 2006. Further, the Contract and all obligations thereunder terminated, and we removed MedCaths name from all Company websites and marketing materials. The parties have entered into
mutual general releases regarding the Contract and both bear their own attorneys fees and costs.
We funded the settlement amount from available operating cash. In addition to amounts already recorded at December 31, 2005 and amounts covered by
insurance, we recorded a charge of approximately $1 million related to the settlement in the period ended March 31, 2006.
F-36
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
In addition, we are subject to litigation in the normal course of business, but management does not
believe that the resolution of any pending proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our companys financial position or results of operations.
20. UNAUDITED QUARTERLY SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The fourth quarter of 2007 includes a one-time income tax benefit of $52.4 million related to the reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets since it became more likely than not that deferred tax assets would be utilized in the future. See Note 18
Incomes Taxes
for further discussion. The incremental impact of this one-time benefit represents approximately $1.20
basic and $.67 diluted income per share for the fourth quarter and approximately $1.19 basic and $.70 diluted income per share for the full year 2007.

In our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC during 2006, basic net income (loss) per
share was based on net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, which reflects a deduction for the preferred stock accretion. As presented in the following table, we are revising our calculation of net income (loss) attributable to common
shareholders for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2006. For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 we are revising our calculation of net loss per basic share.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 5, 2008 we announced a strategic
initiative to increase overall product development capacity and to further accelerate delivery of our Care-Based Revenue Cycle product strategy to the healthcare market. In an effort to provide high quality, feature rich products to
our clients in the least amount of time we have re-allocated financial and personnel resources to expand our product development capacity, and have partnered with Tata Consultancy Services to assist us with quality assurance, technical publications
and software programming. This initiative will supplement the efforts of our existing dedicated product development team. As a result, our overall development team will increase by 11% with most of that increase focused on developing new
products and new features. Related to this capacity expansion and resource re-allocation initiative, we eliminated 69 positions in various technical, administrative and other non-technical areas. A number of the affected staff had been assigned
to product related projects now considered to be non-core to QuadraMeds long term growth and success. Concurrent with this, new positions were created to meet the changing needs for various skill sets related to the
companys go-forward product plan. In addition, we are filling twenty open positions in technical and related areas. We provided benefits for departed employees through the end of February 2008 and offered severance payments along
with a commitment to pay 2007 bonuses to those impacted in accordance with the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan, when payments under the plan are made in March 2008. After all the actions detailed above have occurred, we will employ 647 full
time employees, which includes the twenty open positions. The Company expects to report a one time severance cost in Q1 2008 of approximately $0.6 million.

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
In February 2008, auctions failed for $1.3 million of our auction rate securities, and there is
no assurance that currently successful auctions on the other auction rate securities in our investment portfolio will continue to succeed, and as a result, our ability to liquidate our investment and fully recover the carrying value of our
investment in the near term may be limited or not exist. An auction failure means that the parties wishing to sell securities could not do so. All of our auction rate securities, including those subject to the failure, are currently rated AAA, the
highest rating by a rating agency. If the issuers are unable to successfully close future auctions and their credit ratings deteriorate, we may in the future be required to record an impairment charge on these investments. We do not believe these
securities are currently impaired, primarily due to the collateral guarantees and AAA ratings of the underlying securities. Based on our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not anticipate the potential lack of
liquidity on these investments to affect our ability to execute our current business plan. As of December 31, 2007 and February 29, 2008, we held $5.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of auction rate securities.
