              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)      BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

         MECON, Inc. is a leading provider of benchmarking solutions to the
healthcare industry. The benchmarking solutions we offer consist of
data/information products, decision support software and value-added
services. The principal focus of our products and services is to reduce costs
and improve efficiency and effectiveness of departmental and clinical
operations in the healthcare delivery system. Our main product line is based
upon an operations benchmarking database containing cost and key performance
information from hospitals nationwide. In addition to statistical data, the
database incorporates qualitative data derived from operational profiles
provided by hospitals that utilize our database-related products. Our
customers use the information provided by the operations benchmarking
database to develop and implement strategies to reduce costs and to
periodically measure actual performance to maintain the cost reductions
achieved.

         On March 31, 1999, we acquired the Implementation Consulting Group,
of HCIA, Inc. formerly known as LBA Healthcare ("LBA"), forming the
healthcare industry's first comprehensive clinical and operations cost
management solution. ICG has been renamed LBA Healthcare and is headquartered
in Denver with 33 clinical consulting professionals. LBA's consulting
services and data products are designed to lead hospitals and physicians to
improve their competitive position in clinical service lines, with special
focus in Cardiology, Pulmonary, Orthopedics, and Neuroscience. LBA services
include analyzing opportunities related to physician practice patterns,
developing physician gain-sharing and joint venture models to align physician
incentives, and identifying market opportunities to protect and increase
market share, clinical service line revenue, and margins. This acquisition
adds LBA's clinical efficiency database and consulting services to our
operations cost management solution. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and the results of LBA's operations have been included in our
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition of March 31,
1999.

         In July 1999, we acquired Progressive Development, Inc. (PDI),
provider of a Web-based supply cost comparison database. PDI's products and
services are designed to reduce what healthcare providers pay for disposable
products and implants through the use of an online database. This database,
called MECON-PricePoint(TM), helps to lower supply acquisition costs by
providing comparative benchmarking data against actual supply costs provided
by other hospitals. Through the PricePoint database, healthcare providers
compare their supply pricing data against national and regional averages and
lowest recorded prices paid. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and the results of operations have been included in our consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition.

In September 1999, we made a $500,000 strategic investment in iBusinessHub
(IBH), an early stage development company focused on building
business-to-business e-commerce procurement engines for various vertical
markets. As a result of this investment, we own approximately 36% of the
outstanding stock of IBH. This investment is expected to add transactional
functionality to our rapidly expanding healthcare community, which is sharply
focused on expense reduction and performance improvement. Integral to this
strategy is our recent acquisition of PDI, and its supply cost comparison
database.

         Also in September 1999, we acquired Clinical Dynamics, Inc. (CDI),
provider of Web-based software reporting tools that analyze clinical process
and outcome metrics of care for clinicians and

                                       6

administrators. CDI Providers is renowned for its highly functional,
Web-based software reporting tools which help providers create, manage, and
analyze clinical outcomes data. Its flagship Web-based product line,
DYNAMO(TM) (Dynamic Analysis of Measured Outcomes), provides information on
clinical performance through physician profiling, hospital benchmarking,
clinical pathway development, and practice variance analysis. The Dynamo
product suite provides clinicians and administrators with quick desktop
access to complex clinical, financial, and demographic patient data
information for day-to-day evaluation and decision-making. The acquisition
was accounted for as a pooling of interests and therefore all information
contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements has been restated to
reflect the pooling.

(2)      INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         Our consolidated condensed interim financial statements presented in
this report have been prepared without audit under the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, we have condensed or
omitted certain information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of our management, these statements
include all adjustments (all of which consist of normal recurring adjustments
except as otherwise noted herein) necessary to present fairly our financial
position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. These
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1999 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations
for the three and six months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for future
periods or the full year.

(3)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Beginning April 1, 1999, we adopted Statement of Position (SOP)
98-9, MODIFICATION OF SOP 97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION, WITH RESPECT TO
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS, which amends SOP 97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION,
regarding how to account for multiple-element arrangements and how
vendor-specific evidence is defined.

         Our adoption of SOP 98-9 did not have a material effect on our
financial statements for the three and six month periods ended September 30,
1999. Prior to adoption of SOP 98-9, we accounted for software and related
revenues in accordance with SOP 97-2.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, requires the reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. We have no components of other
comprehensive income and, accordingly, the comprehensive income is the same
as net income for all periods presented.

(4)      MERGERS

         On September 30, 1999, we issued 774,000 shares of our common stock
in exchange for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Clinical
Dynamics, Inc. (CDI), a provider of Web-based software reporting tools that
analyze clinical process and outcome metrics of care for clinicians and
administrators. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and
accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements have been
restated to include the financial position and results of CDI for all periods
presented.

Transaction and acquisition costs were approximately $638,000 and consisted
principally of transaction fees for accountants and other related charges and
are included in acquisition related charges in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

(5) LBA HEALTHCARE

         On March 31, 1999, we completed the acquisition of certain assets
and liabilities of the Implementation Consulting Group (ICG) of HCIA Inc.,
formerly known as LBA Healthcare (LBA), for $7.5 million in cash. In
conjunction with the transaction, we allocated $8.6 million of the $9.8
million purchase price to Goodwill with an estimated life of 15 years. As of
the date of acquisition, revenues earned by ICG were related to the Clinical
Value Enhancement (CVE) and Strategic Business Development (SBD) business
lines.

         As a result of the purchase, certain acquisition related accrued
liabilities were recorded as of March 31, 1999. The following table sets
forth a description of the accrued liabilities for the period ended September
30, 1999:

         In the quarter ended September 30, 1999, we noted that the revenue
being generated by LBA's CVE business line was not meeting our expectations
which was based on the projections we received at the time of the
acquisition. Based on this information, we concluded that we could better
utilize our resources in other areas of the Company and decided to exit the
CVE business line. In accordance with an exit plan we developed, we have
notified fourteen (14) LBA employees of their termination. These individuals
were responsible for maintaining the VETCAR database which supported the
consulting being performed as part of the CVE business line. As of September
30, 1999, $52,000 of the initial accrual of $773,000 for accrued severance
costs had been paid.

         In consideration of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", and our
decision to exit the business, we reviewed the goodwill associated with LBA
for impairment. We performed an undiscounted cost analysis which revealed
that the goodwill was impaired. We estimated the fair market value of the
goodwill using a discounted cash flow model and recognized an impairment
charge of $5,555,000. The Company also wrote-off certain other capitalized
software costs associated with the CVE business.

         The special charge was comprised of (in thousands):

(6) ACQUISITIONS & INVESTMENTS

Progressive Development, Inc.

         In July 1999, we acquired Progressive Development, Inc. (PDI), a
provider of a Web-based supply cost comparison database. We issued 75,000
shares of our common stock at $8.125 per share, which was the value of our
stock on July 14, 1999, and paid $275,000 in cash in a transaction accounted
for using the

                                       9

purchase method of accounting. In accordance with the purchase, we received a
client server software product, the services of the founder, and a royalty
stream. PDI did not have any assets and liabilities, employees, or customers
at the time of our purchase. The accounting treatment resulted in
approximately $884,000 of goodwill that will be amortized over its estimated
benefit period of five years. At September 30, 1999, the balance of the
goodwill was $866,000, net of accumulated amortization of $18,000.

iBusinessHub.com
         In September 1999, we invested $500,000 in iBusinessHub.com (IBH)
for 2,000,000 shares of IBH common stock. IBH is a development stage company
focused on building business-to-business e-commerce procurement engines for
various vertical markets. In addition to the common shares, we also received
a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of IBH common stock, which may be
exercised at any time. Since our investment constituted a 36% interest in the
outstanding shares of IBH, the investment has been accounted for using the
equity method of accounting at September 30, 1999. IBH had no profits or
losses at September 30, 1999, and, thus, there was no effect on Mecon's
financial statements for the quarter or six months ended September 30, 1999.

(7) SEGMENT INFORMATION

         We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information
about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on
the way management organizes our operating segments for making operating
decisions and assessing financial performance.

         Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is considered to be our Chief
Operating Committee (COC) which is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer
and our Senior Vice Presidents. The COC reviews financial information
presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information on
revenues by products and services for purposes of making decisions and
assessing financial performance. Effective April 1, 1999, we operate in two
business segments: data products and consulting.


Net revenue information regarding our operating segments is as follows (in
thousands):

</TABLE>

         Our customers consist 100% of end users in the United States.
Accordingly, we do not produce reports that measure performance of revenues
by geographic region.

         We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on
revenues only. We do not assess the performance of our segments on other
measures of income or expense, such as depreciation and


                                      10

amortization, operating income or net income. In addition, as our assets are
primarily located in our corporate office in the United States and not
allocated to any specifics segment, we do not produce reports that measure
the performance based on any asset-based metrics. Therefore, we have
presented segment information only for revenues.

OVERVIEW

         We are a leading healthcare benchmarking solutions company. Our
proprietary data, family of premium quality, easy-to-use software products
and consulting services are designed to combine to produce and sustain
optimum performance in healthcare delivery systems. From our incorporation
until 1989, our revenue was primarily derived from consulting services for
acute care hospitals. Since 1990, we focused upon building critical mass in
our PEERnext database, formerly known as PEERx, as well as increasing the
installed base for software products, MECON-OPTIMIS and MECON Action-Point.
As a result, we have transitioned into providing a variety of products and
services that employ our proprietary database comprised of acute care
hospitals' operational cost and key performance information.

         We continue to improve and expand our capabilities to serve the
changing needs of the healthcare industry, and are guided by key objectives,
including: striving to provide the best, most complete portfolio of database,
advisory, and software capabilities; seeking and utilizing the best
technologies available--including widening our Web-based business platform;
continuing to fulfill our commitments to customers; and increasing our
ability to meeting their evolving performance improvement needs.

         In fiscal 1999, we acquired the Implementation Consulting Group Unit
of HCIA, Inc. (formerly known as LBA Healthcare), introduced MECON-Practice
Management Profiler-TM- and MECON-Material Solutions-SM- and released
MECON-PEERnext-TM-, the new Web-based benchmark database product. With fiscal
and regulatory pressures mounting, many healthcare providers and institutions
across the country are exhibiting signs of financial stress, and we believe
that the industry is intensifying its search for viable solutions. Therefore,
we are seeking to bridge the information gap by developing and expanding our
clinical and operational offerings. Our strategic activities, along with our
core business strategies, continue to focus on assisting customers in
identifying where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie, and then
putting systems in place to correct the problems, and sustain the results
over time.

         In fiscal 2000, we launched our integrated product delivery
platform, MECON.com and our e-Health strategy. We launched an e-Health
strategy because we believe that our products and services are perfectly
suited for Web-based delivery. Furthermore, we believe that our value
proposition of immediate, significant and sustainable performance improvement
to health care providers is enhanced through internet connectivity with us
and others seeking solutions to their performance improvement challenges. We
define e-Health as a Web-connected community of clinicians, operating
managers and executives who derive significant value through access to
actionable content, sharply focused on performance improvement. Our community
has been rapidly expanding as a result of core business growth and
acquisitions. Since our mission is focused on being the independent, credible
one-stop resource for healthcare performance improvement content and
consulting, we believe we are well-positioned among the healthcare community
to offer the rich combination of performance improvement content, consulting
and commerce capabilities via the Web.

         Our e-Health strategy centers around three main business lines,
including a Web-based information content business, value-added consulting
business, and buyer-centric e-commerce procurement business. Our current
portfolio of database and information products can be generally classified as
its information content business. The PEERnext operational benchmarking
database, InfoSource on-line peer networking tool, MECON-OPTIMIS-TM-
productivity information system, MECON-PricePoint-TM- price comparison
database, and the CDI-DYNAMO-TM- (Dynamic Analysis of Measured Outcomes)
clinical and outcomes database all represent our current capabilities. With
the Internet as its primary medium, we continue to broaden content, expand
the customer base, build high margin value-added on-line tools, and build a
captive community of users that routinely tap MECON.com to access information.

         With our strong roots in consulting and our firm belief that
services are integral to leveraging full value from information products, we
continue to build our consulting practice to complement those capabilities in
our information content business. Today, our consulting capabilities include
operations

                                      13

<PAGE>

consulting, materials solutions consulting, and LBA's clinical consulting.
Working in concert with our information content segment of the business, we
intend to continually broaden our consulting capabilities, and expand our
customer base through new and cross-selling programs.

         Coupled with our healthcare domain knowledge, we believe we are well
positioned to enhance our customer value proposition by supplying comparison
shopping and transactional services to our community. Our acquisition of PDI
for its Web-based comparison shopping database, and partnership with
iBusinessHub for its procurement engine represents a powerful combination of
comparison shopping and on-line purchasing. This is designed to enable our
large network of potential buyers to benefit from the competitive advantages
and choices available through direct, on-line supply purchasing.

         Our performance improvement vision has three dimensions -
operational performance, clinical performance, and quality management.
Operational performance involves improvement of the functional efficiency of
the hospital; clinical performance involves improvement of clinical practices
of physicians; and quality management involves improvement of medical
outcomes and patient satisfaction. We believe that an integrated approach of
information content, value-added consulting, and commerce is necessary to
drive significant and sustainable performance improvement in all three
dimensions. Our historical strength has been in the operational performance
improvement domain. However, in March 1999, with the acquisition of LBA
Healthcare, we added consulting capabilities in the clinical performance
improvement dimension. As part of our integration strategy, we decided to
abandon the LBA VETCAR database, due to its limited scope and lack of
Web-based technology. Given that VETCAR historically drove the LBA Clinical
Value Enhancement (CVE) business line which was narrowly focused on certain
healthcare product lines such as Cardiovascular services, we decided to exit
CVE, resulting in the write-down of goodwill during the second quarter of
fiscal 2000.

         With the subsequent acquisition of CDI in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 and its Web-based clinical content database product DYNAMO, we
began to integrate LBA's clinical consulting force with CDI's content
application to create an integrated solution similar to our operational
performance improvement solution. With the strength of DYNAMO, coupled with
LBA's clinical consultants and the PricePoint comparison shopping database,
we intend to capitalize on the market opportunity for clinical performance
improvement.

         We believe that being the "one-stop-shop" for our community is
essential to becoming the business-to-business e-Health leader. Therefore, we
are focused upon integrating our acquired components into MECON.com. Today,
the operational content is available for the community through the MECON.com
portal. We plan to integrate our clinical content, comparison shopping and
procurement enabler products through MECON.com.

         As a result of strong growth in the core business augmented by
acquisitions, the total value of new contracts signed during the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 43% to a record $7.3 million compared to
$5.1 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, and also
expanded 18% sequentially from the $6.2 million signed in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, we added 39 new
clients to our client base and captured renewal contracts from 17 existing
clients. Of $7.3 million, consulting contract value signed represented
approximately $3.3 million and the data products contract value signed
represented approximately $4.0 million.

         The total contract value signed during the period builds our
backlog, which is defined as the total value of all contracts that have not
been recognized as revenue. Backlog is then depleted by the revenue
recognized during the period. Since the total value of contracts signed in
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $7.3 million compared to $6.9 million
in revenue recognized, backlog increased by approximately $400,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. Currently, approximately 45% to 55% of our
quarterly revenue is derived from backlog. The remaining 55% to 45% is
generated from contracts signed during that respective quarter. The increase
in the recurring base of revenue, renewals, consulting contracts and

                                      14

<PAGE>

leveraging the internet for data delivery coupled with strong expense
controls have continued to drive improvement in our gross margins. As a
result of increased spending in marketing activities related to creating a
greater market place awareness regarding our consulting capabilities and new
products recently acquired, operating margins have slightly decreased.

</TABLE>

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

REVENUE

         Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased 66%
to $6.9 million compared to $4.2 million for the comparable period in the
prior fiscal year. Data products revenue increased 24% to $4.6 million
compared to $3.7 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
Consulting revenue increased 473% to $2.3 million compared to $400,000 for
the comparable period in the prior fiscal year and accounted for 68% of the
total increase in revenue.

         The increase in data product revenue was primarily attributable to
higher levels of contract value signed, shorter cycle times to integrate
customers' data into the database and an expanding base of recurring revenue
from multi-year subscription contracts sold in prior years.

         The increase in consulting revenue was primarily attributable to an
increase in operational consulting engagements sold augmented by the
acquisition of LBA's clinical consulting business in March 1999. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 approximately $3.3 million of consulting
contracts were sold compared to $850,000 in the comparable period for the
prior fiscal year. Such consulting revenues are typically earned over a
nine-month period. We anticipate consulting to remain a significant portion
of our revenue as a result of our value proposition strategy of assuring that
our customers derive immediate, significant and sustainable performance
improvement from our solution of data, consulting and software. Consulting
service contracts are significantly larger dollar contracts than the data
products. Therefore, the timing of contract signings and delivery of related
services may impact the timing of revenue recognition, and as a result,
consulting revenue may significantly vary from quarter to quarter.

COST OF REVENUE

         Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999
increased 75% to $2.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the comparable
period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of revenue was
primarily attributable to the acquisitions of LBA and CDI, increased
personnel in our core business increased travel expenses and increased
amortization of software development costs. The number of employees
delivering products or consulting services increased to 82 during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 from 60 during the comparable period in the
prior fiscal year. Amortization of software development costs increased to
$373,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $172,000 for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The remainder of the increase was
primarily attributable to travel expenses to implement our products. Cost of
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 remained constant at
30% of revenue compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Although
there was a change in revenue mix towards lower margin consulting business,
this change in mix was offset by efficiencies gained in our Web-based
delivery of data and higher utilization rates of our consulting staff.
Although we anticipate cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars due to
the increase in amortization of software development costs from future
releases of new products, we anticipate costs of revenue to decrease as a
percent of revenue as we continue to leverage efficiencies in delivery
related to our multi-year subscriptions and internet delivery strategies.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         Research and development expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased 81% to $1.0 million compared to $597,000 for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due
to the addition of technical programming staff from the acquisitions of LBA
and CDI and a decrease in capitalized software development costs. The number
of employees performing research and development activities increased to 34
during the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 22 during the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. During the three months ended
September 30, 1999, approximately $335,000 was capitalized for internally
developed software related to product development compared to $405,000 for
the comparable period in the prior year. Research and development expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased to 16% of revenue
compared to 14% for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year as a
result of the aforementioned factors. However, although we anticipate
research and development spending to increase in absolute dollars, we
anticipate they will decrease as a percent of revenue as we move from the
initial product development efforts for new products to programming, testing
and release management.

SALES AND MARKETING

         Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September
30, 1999 increased 94% to $1.4 million compared to $710,000 for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due
to the acquisitions of LBA and CDI, increased commissions related to record
levels of contract value signed in the second quarter of fiscal 2000,
marketing activities and travel expenses. The number of employees performing
selling and marketing activities increased to 24 during the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from 12 during the comparable period in the prior
fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased to 20% of revenue during the three months ended
September 30, 1999 compared to 17% during the comparable period in the prior
fiscal year. We anticipate sales and marketing expenses to increase in
absolute dollars but remain relatively constant as a percent of revenue. The
anticipated increase in absolute dollars is expected to be primarily
attributable to increased commissions related to an increasing customer base
and more robust marketing efforts related to our consulting capabilities and
MECON.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE


                                      17

<PAGE>

         General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased 41% to $991,000 compared to $704,000 for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due
to the acquisitions of LBA and CDI, additional accounting personnel related
to increased business, amortization of goodwill associated with the purchase
of LBA, and rent, travel and telephone expenses. The number of employees
performing general and administrative activities increased to 16 during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from 14 during the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year. General and administrative expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 decreased to 14% of revenue compared to 17%
of revenue for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease
was primarily due to leveraging existing infrastructure and ongoing cost
reduction initiatives. We anticipate general and administrative expenses to
increase in absolute dollars and remain relatively constant as a percent of
revenue as a result of the aforementioned factors.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         As a result of the impairment of goodwill we were able to record a
tax benefit of $1.7 million and a long term deferred tax asset of $2.0 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. This benefit will be utilized over
the next 15 years.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

REVENUE

         Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1999 increased 67% to
$13.6 million compared to $8.2 million for the comparable period in the prior
fiscal year. Data products revenue increased 23% to $8.1 million compared to
$6.6 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Consulting
revenue increased 256% to $5.5 million compared to $1.5 million for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year and accounted for 72% of the total
increase in revenue.

         The increase in data product revenue was primarily attributable to
higher levels of contract value signed, shorter cycle times to integrate
customers' data into the database, an expanding base of recurring revenue
from multi-year subscription contracts sold in prior years and new PEERnext
and PEERx contracts signed during the six months ended September 30, 1999
contributed to the remainder of the increase.

         The increase in consulting revenue was primarily attributable to an
increase in operational consulting engagements sold augmented by the
acquisition of LBA's clinical consulting business in March 1999. During the
quarters ended June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999 approximately $5.9
million of consulting contracts were sold compared to $1.4 million in the
comparable period for the prior fiscal year. Such consulting revenues are
typically earned over a nine-month period. We anticipate consulting to remain
a significant portion of our revenue as a result of our value proposition
strategy of assuring that our customers derive immediate, significant and
sustainable performance improvement from our solution of data, consulting and
software. Consulting service contracts are significantly larger dollar
contracts than the data products. Therefore, the timing of contract signings
and delivery of related services may impact the timing of revenue
recognition, and as a result, consulting revenue may significantly vary from
quarter to quarter. Our customer intimacy strategy includes expanding
customer support services, such as training programs and consulting projects,
which build relationships with customers and enhance benefits customers
derive from our database. We anticipate consulting to remain a significant
portion of our revenue as a result of the customer intimacy strategy and the
anticipated growth of LBA's revenues.

COST OF REVENUE

         Cost of revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1999
increased 62% to $4.3 million compared to $2.7 million for the comparable
period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of revenue


                                      18

<PAGE>

was primarily attributable to the acquisition of LBA, increased personnel and
related costs and increased amortization of software development costs. The
number of employees delivering products or consulting services increased to
82 during the six months ended September 30, 1999 from 61 during the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Amortization of software
development costs increased to $641,000 for the six months ended September
30, 1999 from $344,000 for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         Research and development expenses for the six months ended September
30, 1999 increased 69% to $2.2 million compared to $1.3 million for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due
to the addition of technical programming staff from the acquisitions of LBA
and CDI, an increase in MECON technical programming personnel, and a decrease
in capitalized software develoment cost. An increase in supplies expense
related to Action Point Year 2000 remediation efforts and depreciation
expense from the purchase of additional computer equipment accounted for the
remainder of the increase. During the six months ended September 30, 1999,
approximately $648,000 was capitalized for internally developed software
related to product development compared to $700,000 for the comparable period
in the prior year. The decrease in software development costs capitalized
primarily related to the timing of development activities qualifying for
capitalization associated with new product development. Currently, we are
developing functional specifications related to certain new products planned
for release in early fiscal 2001 and have not begun the coding and
programming activities that qualify for capitalization. The beta testing and
programming efforts related to MECON.COM and MECON-PEERnext version 2.0,
which were released in July and May 1999, respectively, accounted for the
remainder of the decrease. We anticipate research and development spending to
increase in absolute dollars but decrease as a percent of revenue as we move
from the initial product development efforts for MECON-PEERnext version 2.0
to programming, testing and release management.

SALES AND MARKETING

         Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended September 30,
1999 increased 87% to $2.7 million compared to $1.4 million for the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due
to the acquisitions of LBA and CDI, increased commissions related to record
levels of contract values signed, additional staffing, and increases in
salaries, marketing activities and travel. The employee head count increased
to 24 from 12 for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The
increase was due, in part, to the addition of 7 employees from LBA and 2
employees from CDI. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 increased to 20% of revenue during the six months ended
September 30, 1999 compared to 18% during the comparable period in the prior
fiscal year. We anticipate sales and marketing expenses to increase in
absolute dollars but remain relatively constant as a percent of revenue due
to increased commissions related to an increasing customer base and more
robust marketing efforts related to our consulting capabilities and MECON.COM.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

         General and administrative expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 increased 35% to $2.0 million compared to $1.5 million for
the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily
due the acquisition of LBA and CDI, additional accounting personnel related
to increased business, and amortization of goodwill associated with the
purchase of LBA, offset by reductions in the provision for bad debts,
professional fees, and expenses related to office infrastructure. General and
administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1999 decreased
to 15% of revenue compared to 18% of revenue for the comparable period in the
prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to leveraging existing
infrastructure and ongoing cost reduction initiatives. We anticipate general
and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars and as a percent
of revenue as a result of the aforementioned factors.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES


                                      19

<PAGE>         As a result of the impairment of goodwill we were able to
record a tax benefit of $[OPEN] million and a long term deferred tax asset of
$[OPEN] for the six months ended September 30, 1999. This benefit will be
utilized over the next 15 years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1999, our cash, cash equivalents and securities
available-for-sale decreased by $3.0 to $7.0 million compared to $10.0
million at March 31, 1999 primarily as a result of cash used in operations,
purchases of property and equipment, cash paid for acquisitions and
investments and cash paid for the development of new software products. We
used $742,000 of cash flow from operating activities for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to generating $1.3 million in the
comparable period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to [OPEN]
 the payment of non-recurring liabilities incurred in connection with the
purchase of LBA that were booked in fiscal 1999 and a slower than expected
process of receiving cash collected before quarter-end by HCIA related to the
purchased receivables of LBA. The combination of the cash used to pay
acquisition-related, non-recurring liabilities and the non-receipt of cash
collected before quarter-end by HCIA accounted for approximately[OPEN] $1.2
million of cash used in operations.(need KPMG comments before I can complete)

         Although [OPEN]cash flow from operations decreased, cash collections
and cash management continued to be strong. Our days sales outstanding (DSO)
increased to 106 days at September 30, 1999 compared to 91 days at March 31,
1999. The increase in DSO is attributable TO [OPEN]stronger than expected
cash collections.

         As of September 30, 1999, we had net working capital of $10.6
million, including cash, cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale
of $7.0 million. We believe that with our access to financing sources, strong
cash position, and lack of debt, we will be able to adequately fund our cash
requirements for the next 12 months. However, given our growth and
acquisition activity as of September 30, 1999, we have elected to actively
pursue establishing a credit facility during fiscal 2000. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain such a facility on terms favorable
to us, if at all. We currently have no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

YEAR 2000

         We have completed the evaluation of our internal systems and have
also completed implementation of systems and programming changes necessary to
address Year 2000 issues on an enterprise-wide basis. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 this remediation plan (consisting of upgrading and
replacement of certain product version ) has been implemented and tested for
compliance.

         We have evaluated the status of our products and implemented
programming changes necessary to address Year 2000 issues. With modifications
to existing software or converting to new software, the Year 2000 issue has
not posed significant operational problems for our computer systems; however,
we cannot assure there will not be increased costs associated with, the
implementation of such changes, and our inability to implement such changes
could have a material adverse effect on future results of operations.

         We have not fully determined the extent to which we may be impacted
by third parties' systems, which may not be Year 2000 compliant. The Year
2000 computer issue creates risk for us from customers' financial information
gathering systems and other third parties with which we deal on financial
transactions. While we expect to complete our efforts to seek assurance from
our suppliers, service providers and customers by the end of 1999, we cannot
assure that the systems of other companies that we deal with or on which our
systems rely will be timely converted, or that any such failure to convert by
another company could not have a material adverse effect on us. If we
determine that a material number of customers cannot collect their data
because of Year 2000 issues, as a contingency plan, we currently intend to
staff accordingly to collect the data manually.


                                      20

<PAGE>

         We rely on third parties for services such as telecommunications,
Internet service, utilities and other key services and supplies. We are
seeking confirmation from such service providers that their systems are Year
2000 compliant. Interruption of those services or supplies due to Year 2000
issues could adversely affect our operations. We are also subject to external
forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility or
transportation company Year 2000 compliance failures. We have completed the
process of updating and upgrading our internal information systems. Although
the replacement of information systems is not in direct response to Year 2000
concerns, we expect that all new internal information systems implemented in
1999 will be Year 2000 Compliant.

         Known or unknown Year 2000 errors or defects in our internal systems
and products, lack of Year 2000 compliance by third party software
incorporated in our products and/or interruption of services from our
external service providers due to Year 2000 problems could result in failure
or disruption of our products and operations, delay or loss of revenue,
diversion of development resources, damage to our reputation, or claims or
litigation, any of which could adversely affect us. Some commentators have
predicted significant litigation regarding Year 2000 compliance issues, and
we are aware of such lawsuits against other software vendors. Because of the
unprecedented nature of such litigation, it is uncertain whether or to what
extent we may be affected by it.

         We currently respond to customer concerns about our products on a
case-by-case basis. We believe that the purchasing patterns of customers and
potential customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues in a variety of ways,
including the decision to delay purchasing our products until the Year 2000.
We believe that it is not possible to predict the overall impact of these
decisions.

         At this stage in our analysis and remediation process, it is
difficult to specifically identify the cause and the magnitude of any adverse
economic impact of the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario.
Our reasonably likely worst case scenario would include the unavailability of
our major internal systems to our employees and the failure of our products
to operate properly, causing customers' systems and/or operations to fail or
be disrupted. Such worst case scenario also would include the failure of key
vendors and/or suppliers to correct their own Year 2000 issues, which
failures could cause failure or disruption or our operations or products. If
a worst case scenario occurs, we may incur expenses to repair our systems or
upgrade our products, face interruptions in the work of our employees, lose
service and product license revenue, not be able to deliver downloads of our
products, incur service expenses and suffer damage to our reputation. Any or
all of the above events could have an adverse economic impact on us.

         We have developed a comprehensive contingency plan to address
situations that may result if we are unable to achieve Year 2000 readiness of
our critical operations. The cost of developing and implementing such a plan
may itself be material. To date, we have not incurred significant
expenditures for our Year 2000 remediation efforts as we have deployed
existing resources to address Year 2000 issues noted. Although we do not
anticipate the costs to address our Year 2000 issues to be material, the
costs of Year 2000 remediation work and the date on which we plan to complete
such work is based on management's best estimates, which are derived from
assumptions about future events, including the availability of certain
resources, third-party remediation plans and other factors. In addition,
undetected errors or the failure of such systems to be Year 2000 compliant
could create significant record-keeping and operational deficiencies.
Accordingly, if Year 2000 modifications, evaluations, assessments and
conversions are not made, or are not completed in time, the Year 2000 problem
could have an adverse impact us.
