Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information,Allscripts presents in this press release non-GAAP net income (and related pershare amounts), which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 ofRegulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Non-GAAPnet income consists of GAAP net income, excluding acquisition-relatedamortization, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, andtransaction-related expenses, in each case net of any related tax benefit.

Management also believes that non-GAAP net income (and related per shareamounts) provides useful supplemental information to management and investorsregarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations andfacilitates comparisons to its historical operating results. Management alsouses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believesthat the measure is indicative of the Company's core operating results. Notehowever, that non-GAAP net income is a performance measure only, and it doesnot provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAPfinancial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measuresof financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be differentfrom non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures havelimitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated withAllscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliationof non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained withinthe attached condensed consolidated financial statements.
