. the issuance of 117,500 shares of common stock in connection with the MedSmart acquisition.

The "pro forma as adjusted" column reflects our capitalization as of March 31, 1999 with the preceding "pro forma" adjustments and adjustments for the following:

. the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from our sale of the 7,000,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share and the application of a portion of the net proceeds to redeem 1,361,775 shares of outstanding Series H redeemable preferred stock, 1,339,241 shares of outstanding Series I redeemable preferred stock and 1,803,838 shares of outstanding Series J redeemable preferred stock.

DILUTION

Our pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) as of March 31, 1999 was approximately $(28.2) million or $(2.37) per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, after giving effect to the MedSmart and Shopping@Home acquisitions, and the liquidation value of our Series H, I and J redeemable preferred stock and accrued dividends, and divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the automatic conversion upon the closing of this offering of our Series A, B, C, D, F and G preferred stock, the issuance of 117,500 shares of common stock in connection with the MedSmart acquisition and the issuance of 20,017 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering under a contingent payment obligation. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after the closing of this offering. After giving effect to the sale of the 7,000,000 shares of common stock offered by us at an assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value at March 31, 1999 would have been approximately $41.8 million or $2.21 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $4.58 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $8.79 per share to new investors in the common stock. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Assumed initial public offering price per share.................         $11.00
  Pro forma net tangible book value per share before this
   offering..................................................... $(2.37)
  Increase per share attributable to new investors..............   4.58

Dilution per share to new investors.............................         $ 8.79

The following table summarizes on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to this offering, as of March 31, 1999, the difference between the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and by new public investors:

                            Shares Purchased  Total Consideration

                           ---------- ------- ------------ ------- -------------
Existing stockholders..... 11,896,134   63.0% $ 25,196,883   24.7%    $ 2.12
New public investors......  7,000,000   37.0    77,000,000   75.3      11.00
                           ----------  -----  ------------  -----
Totals.................... 18,896,134  100.0% $102,196,883  100.0%
                           ==========  =====  ============  =====

The above information assumes no exercise of outstanding options and no exercise of any options that we may grant in the future under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 1999, there were outstanding options to purchase 2,440,757 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.05 per share. On that date, options to purchase 953,745 shares were exercisable. The above information also assumes no exercise of outstanding warrants. As of March 31, 1999, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 4,903,763 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.54 per share, 4,895,430 of which were exercisable. Based on the pro forma net tangible book value of $1.79 per share after this offering and the assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, dilution to new investors would be $9.21 per share if all of the outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised. See "Management--Employee Benefit Plans--Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan," "Description of Capital Stock" and Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this prospectus. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should read the cautionary statements made in this prospectus as applying to related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. Our actual results may be materially different from the results we discuss in the forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including those discussed in "Risk Factors" and other sections of this prospectus.

Overview

We provide physicians with Internet and client/server medication management solutions designed to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical healthcare.

From our inception in 1986 through 1996, we focused almost exclusively on the sale of prepackaged medications to physicians, in particular those with a high percentage of fee-for-service patients. The advent of managed prescription benefit programs required providers to obtain reimbursement for medications dispensed from managed care organizations rather than directly from their patients. This new reimbursement methodology made it more difficult for our physician customers to dispense medications to their patient base.

In 1997, under the direction of our new senior management team, we intensified the focus of our efforts on the information aspects of medication management, including the development of technology tools necessary for electronic prescribing, routing of prescription information and submission of medication claims for managed care reimbursement. In January 1998, we introduced the first version of TouchScript that fully incorporated these features. At the same time, we redirected our sales and marketing efforts away from our traditional fee-for-service customer base to physicians who have a large percentage of managed care patients. To implement our strategy fully, we expect to increase the number of our sales, sales support, product development and customer service personnel significantly.

As our strategic focus has shifted to medication management products and solutions, the human resources needed to manage, implement and support our strategy have been changing as well. Consequently, we have continually assessed the skills and experience of our workforce to ensure an appropriate match with our business objectives. This led to a significant turnover in staff since 1996 through reductions in force, employee terminations and employee attrition. The costs associated with this reorganization consist primarily of severance costs related to the reductions in force and employee terminations and have been recorded as other operating expenses. We expect this reorganization to help align our staffing with our strategic focus and to reduce administrative expenses.

We currently derive our revenue from the sale of prepackaged medications, software licenses, computer hardware and related services. For the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 1999, sales of prepackaged medications represented 97.8% and 96.5%, respectively, of total revenue.

Our shift in focus away from physicians with a high percentage of fee-for- service patients to those who require technology-based services to operate successfully in a managed care environment is reflected in the composition of our revenue, as depicted in the following table:

Traditional revenue is derived from the sale of prescription medications to physicians through non-Internet channels. We expect traditional revenue to represent a decreasing percentage of total revenue in the future. E-commerce revenue includes the sale of prescription medications over the Internet as well as technology-related revenue for software license fees, computer hardware sales and leases and related services. For the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 1999, sales of prepackaged medications represented 98.7% and 88.0%, respectively, of e-commerce revenue. While some of our historical e-commerce revenue has represented a shifting of traditional customers to TouchScript, and we expect a portion of future e- commerce revenue to represent a shifting of traditional revenue, we anticipate that most of the future growth in e-commerce revenue will be generated by new customers.

As of March 31, 1999, we operated in one segment--the sale of medication management products, which currently consist principally of TouchScript and prepackaged medications. Our two other product categories, Internet products and services and information products, did not exist at March 31, 1999 and currently generate an immaterial amount of revenue. Nevertheless, these product categories are central to our operating strategy. We anticipate that if these product categories grow, the way our business is organized will change to reflect the increasing importance of each of these products. If this occurs, we may determine that we operate in multiple segments.

We believe that managed care prescription programs will continue to cover an increasing percentage of patients for the foreseeable future. This trend will have the effect of reducing the dispensing opportunities for our traditional dispensing customers, thereby reducing the revenue that we have historically recognized from these customers. Additionally, managed care programs impose reduced reimbursement rates for the medications dispensed to their plan participants, thus providing us with a dollar margin per prescription dispensed that is lower than we have historically experienced. Because a large portion of the medications dispensed by our TouchScript customers are to managed care patients, we expect that the fastest growing portion of our business will provide margins with respect to the sale of prepackaged medications that are lower than we have historically experienced.

The length of the selling cycle for our current TouchScript product has generally ranged from three to nine months and depends on a number of factors, including the nature and size of the potential customer and the extent of the commitment being made by the potential customer. Our customers currently consist of physician practices that range in size from a single physician in one location to as many as 40 physicians practicing in multiple locations. Because we are now focusing our marketing efforts on large healthcare organizations, the sale and implementation process has generally taken longer due to these organizations' more complex decision-making processes. Typical license agreements have a term of three years and provide for up-front fees for hardware and installation services and monthly software license fees. Some contracts include a 90-day evaluation period.

Medications sold to physicians are billed upon shipment with 30-day payment terms. We collect, on behalf of TouchScript customers, amounts due from managed care organizations for medications provided to patients in the office.

We recognize revenue from the sale of computer hardware when the hardware is delivered and from the provision of installation services when the services are performed. We recognize software fees ratably over the term of the license agreement and medication revenue upon shipment of the product.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations.

In the twelve months ended December 31, 1998, we recorded total unearned stock compensation of approximately $407,000 in connection with stock options granted during the period. Such amount is amortized to expense over the vesting periods of the applicable options, resulting in approximately $176,000 of expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998, which is included in selling, general and

23

administrative expenses. These amounts represent the difference between the exercise price of stock option grants and the deemed fair market value of our common stock at the time of the grants.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 1999, we recognized approximately $1,850,000 of additional unearned compensation. Amortization of unearned compensation expense for each of the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows:

                                                                Amount (in

Recent Developments

In March 1999, in order to focus all of management's attention and resources on the physician medication management business and due to the significant resources necessary to remain competitive and sustain profitability in the pharmacy benefit management business, we sold substantially all of the assets, excluding cash and accounts receivable, of the pharmacy benefit management business. The total consideration was approximately $7,500,000 in cash at closing and a contingent payment of up to $8,400,000 based upon achieving certain milestones for the one-year period following the closing. We expect to receive less than the maximum contingent payment. This business had net sales of $52,866,000 and $44,719,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, while recording an operating profit of $970,000 for fiscal 1998 versus an operating loss of $1,808,000 for fiscal 1997. The operating loss of $1,808,000 for fiscal 1997 included a writedown of acquisition intangibles in the amount of $3,300,000. The writedown was the result of the loss of customers acquired in the acquisition of our mail order pharmacy business, reduced margin contributions from other acquired customers and higher projected levels of customer attrition. Our financial statements and the discussion in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflect the pharmacy benefit management business as a discontinued operation. In the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we recognized a gain on the sale of this business of $3,547,000, based upon the consideration received at closing. If we receive any additional contingent payments, the gain, net of tax effects, will be increased accordingly. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of TeleMed Corp., which operates as MedSmart, in exchange for 117,500 shares of our common stock and up to an additional 117,500 shares under specific circumstances. MedSmart sells Internet-based physician drug education programs and medical books online and by telephone. These products are intended to complement our existing line of medication management products. MedSmart generated revenue of approximately $1,600,000 with a net loss of approximately $330,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The MedSmart acquisition will have the near-term effect of increasing cash used in operating activities.

In June 1999, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Shopping@Home, Inc., a development-stage Internet retailer, in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $650,000, bearing interest at 6.0% per year and payable upon the consummation of this offering. We expect the Internet software capabilities of Shopping@Home to enhance the development of our Internet-based products. Shopping@Home generated no revenue and had operating losses of approximately $325,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The Shopping@Home acquisition will have the near-term effect of increasing cash used in operating activities. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions--Shopping@Home Acquisition."

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by 5.1% or $323,000 from $6,351,000 in 1998 to $6,028,000 in 1999. Traditional revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by 14.2% or $866,000 from $6,101,000 in 1998 to $5,235,000 in 1999. E-commerce revenue increased by 217.2% or $543,000 from $250,000 in the first quarter of 1998, when we first introduced our e-commerce products, to $793,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease in traditional revenue reflects lower utilization, attrition of customers, price reductions in response to competitive pressures and a product mix shift to lower-priced generic products. The increase in e-commerce revenue reflects additional installations and increased use of TouchScript.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by 0.1% or $3,000 from $4,503,000 in 1998 to $4,500,000 in 1999 due to the overall decrease in revenue. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased to 74.6% from 70.9% in the prior year period principally due to the price reductions noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased by 6.8% or $231,000 over the prior year period due primarily to additional spending of $534,000 for sales support personnel needed to sell, implement and support TouchScript installations, and TouchScript product development personnel. These increases were partially offset by reduced spending of $271,000 on sales personnel with the redirection of the sales and marketing efforts toward targeted, large managed care- oriented organizations, staff reductions in middle management personnel and other smaller reductions in corporate and general administrative expenses. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 60.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 53.3% of total revenue in the prior year period.

Amortization of intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 1999 did not differ materially from the prior year period.

25

Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by 100% or $112,000 from the prior year period. The expense in 1998 consisted entirely of severance costs of nine sales personnel who were terminated as part of the refocusing of our sales and marketing efforts toward targeted, large managed care-oriented organizations. This was part of an ongoing process of matching the skills and experience of our workforce with our strategic objectives. The severance plan was announced during the quarter ended March 31, 1998, and all payments were made in accordance with the original plan by September 15, 1998.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by 72.5% or $287,000 over the prior year period due to the exchange of subordinated convertible debentures for redeemable preferred stock and the repayment of the term loan we had with our commercial bank in April 1998. These amounts were partially offset by increased borrowings on our revolving credit facility with our commercial bank. In addition, accretion on mandatorily redeemable preferred shares and accrued dividends on preferred shares increased by $468,000 in the 1999 period due to the issuance of mandatorily redeemable preferred shares in April 1998.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

Total revenue for 1998 decreased by 22.6% or $6,911,000 from $30,593,000 in 1997 to $23,682,000 in 1998. Traditional revenue decreased by 27.0% or $8,255,000 from $30,593,000 in 1997 to $22,338,000 in 1998. The overall decrease consists primarily of approximately $6,600,000 due to lower utilization, attrition of customers, approximately $3,300,000 due to the manufacturer withdrawal of two weight-loss products in October 1997 and approximately $700,000 as a result of price reductions in response to competitive pressures. This decrease was partially offset by increases in the average selling price of brand products sold, which increased traditional revenues by approximately $2,500,000 in 1998 over the prior year. In the first quarter of 1998, we began to generate e-commerce revenue. We recognized $1,344,000 of e-commerce revenue in 1998.

Cost of revenue in 1998 decreased by 18.4% or $3,876,000 from $21,022,000 in 1997 to $17,146,000 due to the decrease in traditional revenue outlined above. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue for 1998 increased to 72.4% from 68.7% in the prior year. This percentage increase was principally due to price reductions in response to competitive pressures, which increased the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue by approximately 5.0%, and increased costs of production, warehousing and distribution, which increased cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue by approximately 0.6%. These increases were partially offset by a shift in product mix to higher percentage margin products, which reduced cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue by approximately 1.9%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 8.1% or $1,132,000 in 1998 compared to 1997, but increased as a percentage of total revenue from 45.6% in 1997 to 54.2% in 1998. The decrease consists primarily of $1,614,000 attributable to a reduction in sales personnel and related expenses as a result of the reorganization of the sales and marketing efforts, and $446,000 related to decreased expenses associated with general and administrative functions. These decreases were partially offset by increased spending of $492,000 for personnel needed to develop, sell, implement and support the TouchScript product, an increase in bad debt expense of $263,000 and unearned compensation expense of $176,000.

Amortization of intangibles decreased by 9.0% or $37,000 in 1998 from the prior year. The decrease in the amortization is the result of a writedown in 1997 of acquisition intangibles to net realizable value.

Other operating expenses decreased in 1998 by 83.2% or $2,138,000 over the prior year period. The 1997 expense relates to a writedown of acquisition intangibles in the amount of $2,328,000 and a severance charge of $240,000 for a reduction in force of three sales and seven general and administrative staff personnel. The expense in 1998 related to a reduction in force of nine sales and ten general and administrative staff personnel.

26

Interest expense decreased in 1998 by 63.2% or $1,025,000 over the prior year period due to the exchange of subordinated convertible debentures for redeemable preferred stock and the repayment of the term loan in April 1998. In addition, in 1998 we recognized an extraordinary loss of $790,000 from the early extinguishment of debt relating to the exchange of the debentures for redeemable preferred stock.

Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996

Revenue in 1997 decreased by 8.6% or $2,869,000 from $33,462,000 in 1996 to $30,593,000 in 1997. The overall net decrease reflects lower utilization by, and attrition of, customers, price reductions in response to competitive pressures and a shift in product mix to lower-priced generic products.

Cost of revenue in 1997 decreased by 9.9% or $2,308,000 from $23,330,000 in 1996 to $21,022,000 due to the decrease in revenue outlined above. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue for 1997 decreased to 68.7% from 69.7% in the prior year period principally due to lower acquisition costs of generic products and increased rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers. These amounts were partially offset by increased costs of production, warehousing and distribution associated with our new production facility, which we moved to in 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 19.8% or $2,305,000 in 1997 compared to 1996 and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 34.8% in 1996 to 45.6% in 1997. The increase consists primarily of $1,247,000 spent on the development of a sales support infrastructure needed to sell, implement and support TouchScript installations, $470,000 for the addition of new senior management personnel, $232,000 for moving costs and increased lease costs associated with our new office and production facility, $160,000 for increased information services staff, $408,000 for receivable realization reserves primarily related to three weight-loss products that were withdrawn from the market and $339,000 for general increases in general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by $715,000 in sales personnel reductions as part of our reorganization of the sales process.

Amortization of intangibles decreased by 22.7% or $120,000 in 1997 from the prior year period. The decrease is the result of certain intangibles becoming fully amortized in 1996 and 1997.

Other operating expenses increased in 1997 by 148.4% or $1,534,000 over the prior year period. The 1997 expense relates to a writedown of acquisition intangibles and a reduction in force as part of the reorganization of our sales process. The expense in 1996 related to the writeoff of software intangibles related to a product rendered obsolete by TouchScript, in the amount of $166,000, the recognition of a charge for severance costs related to four individuals in the amount of $574,000 and $294,000 in costs related to the shutdown of our Pennsylvania sales office.

Interest expense increased in 1997 by 24.6% or $320,000 over the prior year period due to the annualized cost of our subordinated convertible debentures issued in April 1996.

Other expense in 1996 relates to the loss recognized on the exchange of a note receivable from a shareholder for common shares.

Selected Quarterly Operating Results

Our quarterly results of operations have generally been seasonal, with a greater proportion of our revenue typically occurring in the first and fourth quarters. This seasonality is primarily attributable to the fact that more prescriptions are written in the winter months.

The following table shows our quarterly unaudited consolidated financial information for the five quarters ended March 31, 1999 and each item as a percentage of total revenue. We have prepared this information on the same basis as the annual information presented in other sections of this prospectus. In

27

management's opinion, this information reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for these periods. You should not rely on the operating results for any quarter to predict the results for any subsequent period or for the entire fiscal year. You should be aware of possible variances in our future quarterly results. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to This Offering and Our Stock--Our quarterly operating results may vary."

Discontinued Operations

The operating results of the pharmacy benefit management segment have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption "Income (loss) from discontinued operations." Additionally, we have restated our prior financial statements to present the operating results of the pharmacy benefit management business as a discontinued operation.

28

Operating results from discontinued operations were as follows:

                                        1996        1997         1998

                                     =========== ===========  ===========

Revenue from discontinued operations increased by 5.9% or $2,494,000 from $42,225,000 in 1996 to $44,719,000 in 1997 while increasing 18.2% or $8,147,000 to $52,866,000 in 1998. The increase in revenue reflects our focus on and success within the specialty medication market business, primarily HIV medications. These increases were partially offset by the loss of customers and the repricing of certain accounts as part of the competitive renewal bid process.

While these specialty medication customers generated significant revenue, their gross profit margin percentage was lower than our historical customer base. As a result, cost of revenue in 1997 increased by 6.2% or $2,412,000 from 1996 and increased as a percentage of revenue from 92.4% to 92.6%. Cost of revenue in 1998 increased by 19.1% or $7,900,000 from 1997 and increased as a percentage of revenue from 92.6% to 93.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of discontinued operations remained relatively constant from 1996 to 1997, after consideration of a $3,294,000 writedown of acquisition intangibles in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $763,000 or 41.9% from $1,820,000 in 1997, excluding the writedown of intangibles noted above, to $2,583,000 in 1998. This increase relates to a $800,000 charge for uncollectible receivables, costs associated with a major computer system conversion and increased administrative and support costs to support higher revenue levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our principal sources of funds were bank borrowings, the sale of subordinated debt, redeemable preferred stock and equity securities, and operating cash flow generated by our pharmacy benefit management business, which we sold in March 1999. We issued securities totaling approximately $10,000,000 in 1996 and $8,930,000 in 1998. We have used these capital resources to fund operating losses, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and retirement of debt. At March 31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $49,480,000.

We have spent $771,000, $518,000 and $296,000 on software development costs in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. We project that we will spend approximately $1,500,000 in fiscal 1999 on software development. No software development costs have been capitalized to date; software development costs will be capitalized in the future, after market acceptance has been established.

Net cash used in operating activities in 1998 increased by approximately $2,494,000 compared to 1997. Of this amount, changes in working capital accounted for approximately $1,059,000 of the increase, principally as a result of higher levels of receivables and inventory in the pharmacy benefit management business of $1,504,000. In March 1999, we sold substantially all the assets of this business, excluding cash and accounts receivable. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Recent Developments."

We maintain allowances for uncollectible accounts to reflect our accounts receivable balances at net realized value. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by periodic reviews of individual customer accounts. The allowances for uncollectible accounts at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, $4,532,000 and $4,523,000, respectively, include approximately $2,600,000 for several receivable balances with respect to which we have initiated legal action.

29

We have a line of credit with a bank for up to $10,000,000, subject to levels of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The line of credit agreement expires on April 16, 2000. Borrowings under the line of credit are collateralized by all of our assets. Covenants restrict the payment of dividends, purchase or redemption of securities and the issuance of additional debt without the bank's consent. As of March 31, 1999, we were able to borrow up to $7,661,000 and had borrowed approximately $5,400,000 under this agreement, at an interest rate of prime plus 0.5%, which was 8.5% at March 31, 1999. As we collect outstanding receivables from our pharmacy benefit management business, our borrowing capacity will decrease.

At March 31, 1999, we had outstanding long-term debt and redeemable preferred stock, at redemption value, including accrued dividends, totaling approximately $34,007,000. Approximately $9,359,000 of the redeemable preferred shares are mandatorily redeemable upon the closing of this offering. We intend to redeem all of the outstanding redeemable preferred stock, approximately $33,948,000 at March 31, 1999, with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."

Capital expenditures were $1,242,000 in 1997 and $884,000 in 1998. The increased level of expenditures in 1997 resulted from moving our office and production operations to a new facility in that year.

At December 31, 1998, we had operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $30,534,000. The operating loss carryforwards expire in 2002 through 2013. Our ability to use these operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income depends on a variety of factors, including possible limitations on usage under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the future utilization of operating loss carryforwards due to changes in ownership resulting from the issuance of common shares, stock options, warrants and preferred shares.

We expect the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and borrowings under our line of credit, to be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to Our Company--We are uncertain of our ability to obtain additional financing for our future needs."

Year 2000

Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year. These programs were designed and developed without addressing the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not corrected, many computer software applications could fail or create erroneous results by, at or beyond the Year 2000. We use software, computer technology and other services internally developed and provided by third-party vendors that may fail due to the Year 2000 phenomenon. For example, we are dependent on third-party vendors to host our Internet servers, perform certain information processing functions and provide other services critical to our business.

We have reviewed the Year 2000 compliance of our medication management products and have tested these products to determine how they will function at and beyond the Year 2000. Based upon our assessment to date, we believe that all of the medication management products that we currently sell are Year 2000 compliant. We have contacted the small number of customers using certain older versions of our products that are not Year 2000 compliant. We have offered these customers upgrades to Year 2000 compliant versions of these products at no cost.

We have assessed the Year 2000 readiness of all mission-critical hardware, operating systems and third-party and proprietary software, which include software for use in our accounting, order entry, database, security and other operating systems. The failure of our software or systems to be Year 2000

30

compliant could have a material adverse effect on our corporate accounting functions, our ability to fulfill orders and the operation of TouchScript and our Web site. As part of the assessment of the Year 2000 compliance of these systems, we have received assurances from our vendors that their software, computer technology and other services are Year 2000 compliant. We have expensed amounts incurred in connection with Year 2000 assessment through December 31, 1998. Such amounts have not been material. As of April 1, 1999 we have completed our assessment process, replaced all mission critical, non- compliant hardware with hardware that is Year 2000 compliant, upgraded all mission-critical third-party software, including operating systems, to Year 2000 compliant versions, upgraded proprietary software so that it is Year 2000 compliant, and audited the interfaces among our internal systems and between those systems and external systems. We expect to complete the upgrading of interfaces by August 1, 1999 and then immediately begin system-wide testing, which we expect to be completed by October 1, 1999. At this time, we cannot determine the expenses associated with this testing and any potential remediation plan that may be incurred in the future. The failure of our software and computer systems and of our third-party suppliers to be Year 2000 compliant could have a material adverse effect on us. As of May 31, 1999, we had incurred costs that we believe are allocable to the Year 2000 problem of approximately $125,000.

The Year 2000 readiness of the general infrastructure necessary to support our operations is difficult to assess. For instance, we depend on the integrity and stability of the Internet to provide our services. The infrastructure necessary to support our operations consists of a network of computers and telecommunications systems located throughout the world and operated by numerous unrelated entities and individuals, none of which has the ability to control or manage the potential Year 2000 issues that may impact the entire infrastructure. Our ability to assess the reliability of this infrastructure is limited and relies solely on generally available news reports, surveys and comparable industry data. Based on these sources, we believe most entities and individuals who rely significantly on the Internet are carefully reviewing and attempting to remediate issues relating to Year 2000 compliance, but it is not possible to predict whether these efforts will be successful in reducing or eliminating the potential negative impact of Year 2000 issues. A significant disruption in the ability to reliably access the Internet or portions of it would have an adverse effect on demand for our products and services and would have a material adverse effect on us.

We have not developed a contingency plan to address situations that may result if we or our vendors are unable to achieve Year 2000 compliance. If circumstances require, we will develop a contingency plan. The cost of developing and implementing such a plan, if necessary, could be material. Any failure of our material systems, our vendors' material systems or the Internet to be Year 2000 compliant could have material adverse consequences for us. These consequences could include difficulties in operating our Web site effectively, taking product orders, making product deliveries, transmitting data or conducting other fundamental parts of our business.

BUSINESS

General

We provide physicians with Internet and client/server medication management solutions designed to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical healthcare. Our technology-based approach focuses on the point of care, where the prescription originates, and creates an electronic dialogue between physicians and other participants in the healthcare delivery process, including patients, pharmacies, managed care organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers. We believe physicians find our solutions attractive because incorporating these solutions into their office work flow can increase efficiency and profitability and improve the quality of patient care.

Our products are designed to improve every step of the pharmaceutical healthcare process. We currently offer products in four categories: point-of- care medication management, Internet products and services, information products and prepackaged medications. Our TouchScript software enables electronic prescribing, routing of prescription information and capturing of prescription data at the point of care. Our other e-commerce products and services offer physicians and their patients medication-related education and information services. We also sell our prepackaged medications to physicians so they can offer their patients the convenience of receiving prescription medications in the physician's office.

Background

According to the Health Care Financing Administration, healthcare expenditures in the United States totaled approximately $1.0 trillion in 1996, or 14% of the country's gross domestic product, making it the largest single sector of the economy. One of the fastest growing components of healthcare expenditures is pharmaceutical costs, which last year totaled approximately $100 billion, according to IMS HEALTH, a leading provider of pharmaceutical information. According to the Health Care Financing Administration, pharmaceutical costs are expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 10% through 2007, driven by an aging population, the accelerating introduction of new drugs, direct-to-consumer advertising by pharmaceutical manufacturers and cost advantages over alternate forms of care, most notably inpatient hospital care. This in turn has created pressure on managed care organizations to control pharmacy costs and improve the process of managing medication treatments.

Physicians have also been affected as healthcare has shifted from a fee- for-service model to managed care forms of reimbursement, which increasingly transfer financial risk for pharmaceutical costs from traditional third-party payers to physicians. This transfer of risk has often had an adverse financial impact on physicians. Moreover, as healthcare becomes increasingly consumer driven, patients are seeking more information, control and convenience, placing additional time and financial pressures on physicians. These changes have led many physicians in the United States to search for tools and solutions to improve practice efficiency, increase revenue, comply with managed care guidelines and address patient needs.

Rapid Growth of the Internet and E-commerce

The Internet is becoming an increasingly important medium in healthcare, providing the opportunity for unprecedented communication and access to information for all participants in the healthcare delivery process. We believe that an increasing number of physicians regularly access the Internet, indicating their willingness to adopt technology. Consumer usage of the Internet continues to grow rapidly, and health and medical information was the second most popular subject of Web-based information retrieval searches in 1997 according to Media Metrix, an independent Internet research firm. In addition, Simba Information, Inc., a media and information industry market research firm, estimates that e-commerce will grow from $28 billion in 1998 to over $100 billion by 2002.

32

The Opportunity

The current process for prescribing and delivering medications is inefficient, unnecessarily costly and error-prone. Physicians write virtually all of the 2.8 billion annual prescriptions by hand, resulting in errors and necessitating millions of telephone inquiries from pharmacies for clarification and correction. When physicians write prescriptions, they often do not have ready access to information that would help ensure that the prescription is clinically sound, cost effective and compliant with managed care organizations' pharmacy guidelines. The pharmacist or managed care organization checks this information only after the physician writes the prescription. The inability of managed care organizations to communicate with physicians at the time of prescribing has made it difficult to manage pharmaceutical costs. The existing process further inconveniences the patient, who must travel from the physician's office to a pharmacy and must often wait for the prescription to be filled. In addition, despite the fact that pharmaceutical manufacturers spend billions of dollars promoting the use of their drugs, physicians have a difficult time staying current on the rapidly expanding body of pharmaceutical products and knowledge.

The Allscripts Solution

We have developed comprehensive in-office and Internet-based electronic solutions that significantly streamline the process of prescribing and delivering medications. Our TouchScript software enables physicians to improve their prescribing at the point of care by providing ready access to information about potential adverse drug interactions, patient drug history and managed care preferences, including pharmacy guidelines and generic substitutes. Both before and as the prescription is written, TouchScript reduces the possibility of errors and the need for expensive and time-consuming intervention by pharmacists and pharmacy benefit managers.

We offer or intend to offer other e-commerce products that address various aspects of the medication management process. We currently have products that enable physicians to purchase medications and supplies via the Internet and make it possible for patients to have their prescriptions electronically routed to the pharmacies of their choice or to receive their medications in their physicians' offices. To physicians, we intend to offer Internet-based information services to permit them to better care for their patients. To patients, we intend to offer ancillary information and electronic services focused on improving care, including patient education and compliance.

Our solution redesigns the pharmaceutical healthcare delivery process to benefit each participant. By providing ready access to information during the prescribing process, our system benefits physicians by reducing the amount of time spent clarifying and changing prescriptions. In addition, our system enables physicians to better manage financial risk and to increase practice revenue through dispensing medications. Patients benefit from the convenience, immediacy and confidentiality of receiving prescription medications in the physician's office. Patients also gain access to valuable information that enables them to play a more active role in managing their healthcare. Managed care organizations benefit from higher physician compliance with their pharmacy guidelines, resulting in lower overall costs. Pharmacies benefit from improved communication with physicians, which enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors.

We believe that the best way to improve the medication management process is by focusing where the prescription originates--with the physician--and motivating physicians to write prescriptions electronically. By combining electronic prescribing and dispensing, innovative product design, state-of-the- art software and hardware, and the Internet, we believe we offer an attractive opportunity for physicians. Key advantages of our solution include:

. Ease of Use. TouchScript is easy to use, enabling a physician to complete a prescription in as little as 20 seconds.

. Accessibility. TouchScript enables physicians to prescribe electronically from a variety of locations on several different platforms, including touch screen-enabled personal computers, and, in the near future, the Internet and hand-held Microsoft CE devices.

33

. Information. TouchScript provides valuable, objective information prior to and during the prescribing process, enabling physicians to improve the quality of their prescriptions.

. Financial Opportunity. TouchScript offers physicians a significant financial opportunity through better management of pharmacy risk and additional practice revenue from dispensing medications.

Competitive Advantage

We believe that we have several advantages over our current and potential competitors:

. Physician Relationships. Our experience with thousands of physicians at more than 2,500 sites across the United States enables us to understand their office workflow and the way they conduct their business.

. Managed Care Experience. Over 60 managed care payers and pharmacy benefit managers, including many of the country's largest, currently reimburse our physician customers for prescription medications dispensed in their offices.

. Regulatory Experience. We have a thorough understanding of, and operating experience in, the dynamic and complex federal and state healthcare regulatory environment.

. Installed Base. Versions of TouchScript are currently installed and used in over 150 physician practice sites.

. Management. Our management team has substantial experience in managing rapidly growing public companies that use technology to change business processes.

The Allscripts Strategy

Our objective is to become the leading provider of medication management solutions. Our strategy to achieve this objective includes the following:

. Accelerating sales of our medication management solutions through expansion of marketing efforts, conversion of traditional dispensing-only customers to TouchScript and development of strategic alliances with physician practice management system vendors, physician-oriented Internet portals and managed care organizations.

. Increasing customer utilization of our medication management products to enhance the financial opportunity for physicians through a combination of quality customer service and expansion of the number of managed care organizations that reimburse physicians for prescription medications dispensed in their offices.

. Enhancing our product line by developing additional Internet-based products for physicians and their patients.

. Developing and marketing information products that use the data collected during the electronic prescribing process.

Products and Services

Our product strategy is built around the physician prescribing electronically at the point of care, where virtually all prescriptions are initiated. Our e-commerce business is comprised of three major product categories:

. point-of-care medication management,

. Internet products and services and

. information products.

Our traditional business consists of sales of prepackaged medications through channels other than the Internet.

Point-of-Care Medication Management

TouchScript is a client/server and Internet-based software application that physicians use to electronically prescribe, route prescriptions and dispense medications. TouchScript provides the physician with ready access to information during the prescribing process to facilitate writing a high- quality prescription. This information includes patient drug history, potential adverse drug interactions, generic drug alternatives and the relative costs of medications and drug preferences of over 800 managed care plans. The resulting prescription is legible, accurate and more likely to be clinically safe and follow managed care guidelines, reducing the need for subsequent communication between the physician and a pharmacist to correct or clarify the prescription.

Once the prescribing process is completed, TouchScript offers a variety of fulfillment options for the patient: electronic routing to a retail or mail order pharmacy, printing a legible hard copy or receiving the medication in the physician's office. If the patient chooses to receive the medication in the physician's office and is carrying a pharmacy benefit card, the system can submit the pharmacy claim electronically for immediate approval and reimbursement by the managed care organization.

Drug inventory management is fully automated, and all medication orders and receipts are handled via the Internet using a proprietary program. TouchScript employs an industry standard electronic data interchange format for sending and receiving prescription information called SCRIPT standard, which was developed by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs. This enables two-way communication between physicians and pharmacists in a more efficient way than can be accomplished over the telephone. In addition, TouchScript's underlying relational database enables users to generate a variety of clinical, financial and operational reports.

We designed TouchScript to be faster and easier for a physician to use than a prescription pad. We currently offer TouchScript with a touch-screen interface option, and we are developing and expect to offer 3Touch Prescribing in the third quarter of 1999. We also plan to offer TouchScript on Internet and hand-held Microsoft CE platforms in the near future. TouchScript learns the physician's preferences dynamically, tailoring information on patients, diagnoses, medications and instructions more precisely as usage increases.

We offer a number of outsourcing options. These range from Allscripts providing employees to assist in the operation of the TouchScript system to more comprehensive arrangements where we establish and manage the customer's pharmacy operations.

Internet Products and Services

As an extension of our TouchScript medication management solutions, we offer transaction-based
e-commerce services that enhance our business relationships with physicians. We are also developing a number of informational and educational services for physicians and patients to be offered through our Web site. We expect to introduce additional services during the current fiscal year and plan to expend significant resources for continued development.

Online Ordering. Through our Web site, www.Allscripts.com, we currently sell pharmaceuticals to physicians, enabling them to provide patients with medications in the office, and we plan to facilitate the delivery of pharmaceutical products directly to patients in the future. We also enable healthcare professionals to purchase medical-related texts, journals and products online.

Physician's Interactive. This product enables pharmaceutical manufacturers and managed care organizations to deliver drug education and detailing to physicians more efficiently and cost-effectively via the Internet, without the face-to-face interaction currently required. The product is also available through Interactive Voice Response.

Intelligent Reminder. We intend to offer a service to track patient compliance with prescribed treatment and to send reminders to patients, physicians and managed care organizations. By increasing

36

compliance, we expect to improve patient care and reduce unnecessary office visits, benefiting patients, physicians and managed care organizations.

Patient Education. We intend to create a Web site that will provide information to patients, enabling them to take a more active role in managing and improving the quality and cost of their healthcare. Specific information regarding health state, managed care and medications will be made available on the Web site and via e-mail.

Information Products

Data Mining Products. As a by-product of electronic prescribing, we accumulate data that correlates the medications prescribed with the related diagnosis. This type of correlated data is not readily available on a broad scale, and we believe that we can market it to pharmaceutical manufacturers and managed care organizations.

Prepackaged Medications

We fulfill orders for prepackaged medications for our traditional and e- commerce customers from our FDA-licensed repackaging facility in Libertyville, Illinois. Enabling physicians to sell repackaged pharmaceuticals is an important component of the financial opportunity we provide to physicians.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our products through an internal direct sales force and intend to pursue strategic relationships with key suppliers of physician practice management systems, physician-focused Internet portals and managed care organizations to complement our internal efforts.

As of May 31, 1999, we employed 35 sales professionals who market directly to large physician practices, clinics, integrated healthcare networks and physician practice management organizations. We target sites with a large number of high-volume prescribing physicians in states where in-office dispensing is well-established or where many physicians bear financial risk for pharmaceutical costs.

We use a variety of tools to attract prospective customers, including editorials, articles and advertisements in trade journals, as well as executive seminars, exhibits at selected trade shows and other direct marketing techniques.

Merck-Medco Strategic Relationship

Merck-Medco Managed Care is the country's largest pharmacy benefits manager, covering over 60 million people. We have a pilot agreement with Merck- Medco to evaluate the effectiveness of our TouchScript medication management solutions in affecting prescribing behavior and accelerating patient participation in Merck-Medco's mail order prescription services. Merck-Medco works closely with us to target high-volume prescribers and encourage them to adopt the TouchScript system.

Customer Service and Support

Our customer service strategies are important to our ability to maximize physician utilization of our medication management solutions. We provide our customers with a range of services that begins before product implementation and continues throughout our relationship. As of May 31, 1999, our TouchScript customer service and support team consisted of 65 Account Executives, Regional Managers and Customer Support Representatives. We expect our team to grow substantially by the end of 1999.

37

Implementation Services

Implementation involves site evaluation, work flow preparation, hardware and software installation and training of physicians and their staff. Site evaluation helps us understand how best to implement our solution within the physician's office work flow. Physician training on the system can typically be completed in 30 minutes or less. The physician's office staff is usually trained in administrative and fulfillment functions in two to three hours. The objective of the implementation process is to maximize the value added to the physician's practice through electronic prescribing, routing to the appropriate dispensing location and utilizing information.

Account Management and Customer Support

Once TouchScript is operational, our staff works to help the customer realize the benefits of the system. Account Managers contact customers on a regular basis, either in person, by telephone or online, monitor weekly activity and help increase customer satisfaction. We provide toll-free telephone and online support to our TouchScript customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, a separate group of Account Managers services more than 2,500 physician practice locations across the country that purchase our prepackaged medications.

Managed Care

Our Managed Care team is responsible for facilitating access to managed care networks, acquiring and maintaining pharmacy guideline information for over 800 payers and supporting ongoing relationships with payers and pharmacy benefit managers.

Competition

Our industry is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. Many companies that offer products or services that compete with one or more of our products or services have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we have. These organizations may be better known and may have more customers than we have. We may be unable to compete successfully against these organizations. We believe that we must gain significant market share with our products and services before our competitors introduce alternative products and services with features similar to ours.

We believe that there are no competitors in medication management that offer a comprehensive solution with ease of use, accessibility, information content and financial opportunity for physicians comparable to ours. However, several organizations offer components that overlap with certain components of our solutions and may become increasingly competitive with us in the future.

We face competition from several types of organizations, including the following:

. physician practice management systems suppliers;

. electronic medical records providers;

. healthcare electronic data interchange providers;

. point-of-care dispensing providers;

. Internet pharmacies; and

. Internet information providers.

While many of these types of organizations are potential competitors, we believe that there are opportunities to establish strategic relationships, alliances or distribution agreements with some of them. Although we do not have any existing agreements with these types of organizations, we intend to pursue

38

these opportunities selectively. In addition, we expect that major software information systems companies and others specializing in the healthcare industry may offer products or services that are competitive with components of our solutions.

Product Development and Technology

As of May 31, 1999, our software development department consisted of 19 technology professionals. These individuals, with expertise in application development, documentation and quality assurance, are divided into cross- functional teams responsible for our point-of-care and Internet solutions.

The key initiatives under development for 1999 include TouchScript Version 7, which features 3Touch Prescribing. In addition, we are developing software to support a variety of Windows CE and Palm Pilot hand-held devices. We also continue to develop our Internet products, including our Web-enabled TouchScript Version 7.i, which will permit physicians to access the features of TouchScript through the Internet, either directly or via healthcare portals.

TouchScript operates on Microsoft's NT and Windows operating systems. All software products are developed using com-objects, Active Server Pages and C++ programming language. Our Internet applications are browser-independent and are protected by a state-of-the-art firewall, which is a network interconnection element that polices traffic flowing between the Allscripts internal network and the Internet, and proxy servers that provide layered security defenses against unauthorized access. We employ industry standard 128-bit encryption, known as secure socket layers, to provide secure transfer of information over the Internet.

Governmental Regulation

As a participant in the healthcare industry, our operations and relationships are regulated by a number of federal, state and local governmental entities. We believe we are in material compliance with all applicable laws and that we have obtained all licenses necessary for the operation of our business.

The use of our TouchScript software by physicians to perform electronic prescribing, electronic routing of prescriptions to pharmacies and dispensing is governed by state and federal law. States have differing prescription format requirements, which we have programmed into TouchScript. Many existing laws and regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate methods of e-commerce now being developed. Federal law and the laws of several states neither specifically permit nor specifically prohibit electronic transmission of prescription orders. Given the rapid growth of e-commerce in healthcare, and particularly the growth of the Internet, we expect many states, as well as the federal government, to directly address these areas with regulation in the near future.

Physician dispensing of medications for profit is allowed in all states except Massachusetts, Montana, Texas and Utah. Two states, New York and New Jersey, allow physician dispensing of medications for profit, but limit the number of days' supply that a physician can dispense. Many of the states allowing physician dispensing for profit have regulations relating to licensure, storage, labeling, record keeping and the degree of supervision required by the physician over support personnel who assist in the non- judgmental tasks associated with physician dispensing, like retrieving medication bottles and affixing labels. We regularly monitor these laws and regulations, in consultation with the governing agencies, to assist our customers in understanding them so that they can materially comply.

Congress enacted significant prohibitions against physician self-referrals in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. This law, commonly referred to as "Stark II," applies to physician dispensing of outpatient prescription drugs that are reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid. Stark II, however, includes an exception for the provision of in-office ancillary services, including a physician's dispensing of outpatient prescription drugs, provided that the physician meets the requirements of the exception. We believe that

39

the physicians who use our TouchScript system or dispense drugs distributed by us are doing so in material compliance with Stark II, either pursuant to the in-office ancillary services exception or another applicable exception.

As a repackager and distributor of drugs to dispensing physicians, we are subject to regulation by and licensure with the FDA, the DEA and various state agencies that regulate wholesalers or distributors. Among the regulations applicable to our repackaging operation are the FDA's "good manufacturing practices." We are subject to periodic inspections by regulatory authorities of our facilities, policies and procedures for compliance with applicable legal requirements. We believe we are in material compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including the FDA's "good manufacturing practices," relating to our activities as a repackager and distributor of drugs to dispensing doctors.

As a distributor of prescription drugs to physicians, we and our customers are also subject to the federal anti-kickback statute, which applies to Medicare, Medicaid and other state and federal programs. The statute prohibits the solicitation, offer, payment or receipt of remuneration in return for referrals or the purchase of goods, including drugs, covered by the programs. The anti-kickback law provides a number of exceptions or "safe harbors" for particular types of transactions. We believe that our arrangements with our customers are in material compliance with the anti-kickback statute and relevant safe harbors. Many states have similar fraud and abuse laws, and we believe that we are in material compliance with those laws.

As part of our services provided to physicians, our system will electronically transmit claims for prescription medications dispensed by a physician to many patients' payers for immediate approval and reimbursement. Federal law provides that it is both a civil and a criminal violation for any person to submit a claim to any payer, including, for example, Medicare, Medicaid and all private health plans and managed care plans, seeking payment for any services or products that overbills or bills for items that have not been provided to the patient. We believe that we have in place policies and procedures to assure that all claims that are transmitted by our system are accurate and complete, provided that the information given to us by our customers is also accurate and complete.

Both federal and state laws regulate the disclosure of confidential medical information, including information regarding conditions like AIDS, substance abuse and mental illness. As part of the operation of our business, our customers may provide to us patient-specific information related to the prescription drugs that our customers prescribe to their patients. We believe that we have policies and procedures to assure that any confidential medical information we receive is handled in a manner that complies with all federal and state confidentiality requirements.

History

Allscripts was initially organized to repackage and sell pharmaceuticals to physicians for dispensing to their patients. When the current management team arrived at Allscripts in late 1997, it recognized the need for a new set of medication management solutions. The communication capabilities offered by the Internet, paired with our existing relationships with managed care organizations and with physicians, enabled us to create a new set of tools for the physician with a first-to-market advantage. Management immediately refocused Allscripts on information technology products rather than solely dispensing repackaged pharmaceuticals. In recent years, we have invested heavily in Internet and client/server software development to capture and leverage the value of electronic information to all parties in the healthcare equation: patients, physicians, managed care organizations, pharmacies and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

40

Employees

As of May 31, 1999, we employed 195 persons on a full-time basis, including 65 in customer service and support, 51 in general and administrative, 35 in sales and marketing, 25 in production and warehousing and 19 in product development. None of our employees is a member of a labor union or is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe we have excellent relations with our employees.

Facilities

Our executive offices and state-of-the-art repackaging facilities are located in Libertyville, Illinois in approximately 61,000 square feet of leased space under a lease that expires in June 2004. We also lease space for a separate, smaller repackaging facility in Grayslake, Illinois under a lease that expires in June 2002. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations.

Insurance

Since June 1998, we have maintained occurrence-based product liability insurance in the amount of $32,000,000 per occurrence and $32,000,000 per year in the aggregate. Prior to that, we were covered by occurrence-based product liability insurance in the amount of $15,000,000 per occurrence and $15,000,000 per year in the aggregate. While we believe our insurance is adequate for our needs, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain this insurance in the future or that this insurance will be sufficient to cover all possible liabilities.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in litigation incidental to our business from time to time. We are not currently involved in any litigation in which we believe an adverse outcome would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. However, we have been involved in litigation and are subject to certain claims as described below.

We are a defendant in approximately 115 multi-defendant lawsuits filed between February 1998 and April 1999 and involving the manufacture and sale of dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine and phentermine. The plaintiffs in these cases claim cardiac and other injuries as a result of ingesting a combination of these weight-loss drugs. Approximately 110 of these suits were filed in state court in California; the remainder were filed in federal courts in Georgia and Pennsylvania and in state courts in Texas, Nevada and West Virginia. In each of these suits we are one of many defendants, including manufacturers and other distributors of these drugs. We do not believe we have any significant liability incident to the distribution or repackaging of these drugs, and we have tendered defense of these lawsuits to our insurance carrier for handling. The lawsuits are in various stages of litigation, and it is too early to determine what, if any, liability we will have with respect to the claims made in these lawsuits. If our insurance coverage in the amount of $15,000,000 per occurrence and $15,000,000 per year in the aggregate is inadequate to satisfy any resulting liability, we will have to defend these lawsuits and be responsible for the damages, if any, that we suffer as a result of these lawsuits. We do not believe that the outcome of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

This table gives information relating to option grants to the named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 1998. The options were granted under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at its time of grant, 10 years. The calculation assumes that the fair market value on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated rate compounded annually for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price. Stock price appreciation of 0%, 5% and 10% is assumed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on the assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, the actual price appreciation may be substantially greater than that assumed under these rules. We cannot assure you that the actual stock price will appreciate over the 10-year option term at the assumed levels or at any other defined level.

Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

This table provides information regarding the exercise of options during fiscal 1998 by the named executive officers. The value of unexercised in-the- money options at fiscal year end is calculated using the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value at December 31, 1998, which has been deemed to be $0.50 per share, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option. An option is in-the-money if the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option is greater than the exercise price. Based on the assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, the value of unexercised in-the-money options following the completion of this offering is expected to significantly exceed the value of these options at fiscal year end.

Employment and Other Agreements

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of David B. Mullen and Glen E. Tullman effective August 1, 1997, and with Steven M. Katz effective September 2, 1997. Each agreement has an initial term ending December 31, 2000 and renews for consecutive one-year terms unless either party gives 30 days' notice prior to the expiration of any term. Messrs. Mullen and Tullman are each paid an annual salary of $225,000 and are each entitled to an annual bonus as determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Mr. Katz is paid an annual salary of $215,000 and is entitled to an annual bonus, contingent upon the attainment of certain objectives, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. The agreements also provide that each of Messrs. Mullen, Tullman and Katz will not compete with us during the term of his employment and for one year thereafter. If we terminate any of Messrs. Mullen, Tullman or Katz without Cause or if any of them terminates his employment For Good Reason, as each of those terms is defined in the agreements, he will be entitled to 12 months' salary as severance, as well as any salary that was accrued but not yet paid as of the termination date, the unpaid performance bonus, if any, for the calendar year preceding the termination date and any performance bonus for the calendar year in which the termination date occurs that would have been payable had there been no termination. The amount of these performance bonuses is to be determined in the manner in which it would have been determined had there been no termination.

Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements

We have entered into stock option agreements with each of Messrs. Tullman, Mullen and Katz pursuant to their employment agreements granting them options to purchase shares of our common stock as follows: Mr. Tullman, 548,083 shares; Mr. Mullen, 548,083 shares; and Mr. Katz, 382,841 shares. Under the option agreements, in the event of a Change of Control, as defined in the stock option agreements, vesting of the options will accelerate so that the unvested portion of the options will vest immediately. The option agreements also provide for accelerated vesting of a portion of the options in the event of termination of employment without Cause, For Good Reason or because of death or disability, as each of those terms is defined in the employment agreements.

48

Under an agreement entered into between us and John G. Cull, if Mr. Cull is discharged for any reason other than for Cause, as defined in the agreement, Mr. Cull will be entitled to monthly payments equal to his then in-effect monthly salary together with a pro rata bonus amount and a continuation of health insurance benefits, for a period of 12 months. If, within six months of a Change in Control of Allscripts, as defined in the agreement, Mr. Cull is discharged by Allscripts other than for Cause or voluntarily terminates his employment following a change in his position that materially reduces his level of responsibilities or a material reduction in his overall level of compensation, Mr. Cull will be entitled to monthly payments equal to his then in-effect monthly salary for a period of 12 months together with a pro rata bonus amount and a continuation of health insurance benefits. In addition, the agreement provides that all existing stock options owned by Mr. Cull will immediately vest upon the occurrence of the same events that require us to make severance payments to him following a Change in Control. In addition, Mr. Cull has agreed not to compete with us for a period of 12 months following the termination of his employment.

Employee Benefit Plans

Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan

In May and June 1999, our Board of Directors and shareholders adopted and approved our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, which, among other things, increased the shares authorized for issuance under the plan by 1,300,000. The plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,393,489 shares. The plan provides that the number of shares of common stock underlying stock incentives granted under the plan to any individual in any twelve-month period may not exceed 3,000,000. The plan is designed to grant stock incentives, including qualified and nonqualified options to purchase common stock and stock appreciation rights, to key individuals who perform services for us or on our behalf, such as employees, officers, eligible directors, as defined in the plan, consultants and agents of Allscripts. The purpose of the plan is to enable us to attract, retain and motivate key individuals by providing them the opportunity to obtain an equity interest in Allscripts. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors administers the plan and determines the per share exercise price at the time each stock incentive is granted; provided that in the case of qualified incentive stock options, the exercise price is not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The plan provides that if there is a change in our common stock through a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise, or if there is a dividend on the common stock, payable in common stock, or if there is a stock split, combination or other change in our issued common stock, the common stock available under the plan and the common stock subject to then-existing stock incentives shall be increased or decreased proportionately. In 1998, we recognized unearned compensation of approximately $407,000 in connection with grants under the plan and during the three months ended March 31, 1999, we recognized approximately $1,850,000 of additional unearned compensation.

As of May 31, 1999, there were options outstanding under the plan to purchase an aggregate of 2,380,539 shares of common stock, 932,900 of which were currently exercisable. The weighted average per share exercise price for all of these options is $1.06.

401(k) Plan

We have adopted a 401(k) retirement savings plan. This plan is available to all employees who are at least 21 years old and who have been employed by us for at least one year. An employee may contribute, on a pretax basis, up to the maximum percent of the employee's total annual income from us permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, we match employee contributions at 25% of the first 10% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee to the plan. For "highly compensated employees" as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, our matching percentage is 10% of the first 10% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee. Contributions are allocated to each employee's individual account and are, at the employee's election, invested in one, all, or some combination of four investment funds. Employee contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable. Employees become 100% vested in our contributions after a period of three years.

49

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors are Messrs. Husain, Kluger and Lytle. At various times during 1998, Mr. Green and John M. Goense, Managing Director of Allstate Private Equity, a division of the Investment Department of Allstate Insurance Company, and a former director of Allscripts, were members of the Compensation Committee. None of these persons has ever been an officer or employee of Allscripts or any of its subsidiaries. Mr. Goense resigned from our Board of Directors in connection with the sale by Allstate of its interest in Allscripts in May 1999. The sale was a part of Allstate's disposition of its investments in certain private companies made because of a change in Allstate's investment strategy. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions--Series I and J Redeemable Preferred Stock Private Placement," "--Redeemable Preferred Stock Redemptions," "--Certain Business Relationships" and "Description of Capital Stock-- Registration Rights."

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our policy is that all transactions between us and our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders be on terms no less favorable to us than we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties or else be approved by our disinterested directors.

Shopping@Home Acquisition

In June 1999, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Shopping@Home, Inc. in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $650,000, which equals the aggregate amount of cash invested by the shareholders since the company's formation in October 1998. The note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per year and is payable upon the consummation of this offering. Messrs. Tullman and Carey are principal shareholders of Shopping@Home.

Series I and J Redeemable Preferred Stock Private Placement

In April 1998, we sold 1,199,770 shares of Series I redeemable preferred stock and 4,118,324 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 to Morgan Stanley Venture Partners III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III, L.P. and The Morgan Stanley Venture Partners Entrepreneur Fund, L.P. Messrs. Husain and Stein, two of our directors, are affiliates of each of these Morgan Stanley funds. We also sold 37,493 shares of Series I preferred stock and 128,697 shares of common stock to Mr. Tullman for a purchase price of $250,000, 14,997 shares of Series I preferred stock and 51,479 shares of common stock to Mr. Mullen for a purchase price of $100,000, 3,749 shares of Series I preferred stock and 12,869 shares of common stock to Mr. Carey for a purchase price of $25,000, 4,499 shares of Series I preferred stock and 15,443 shares of common stock to Mr. Rosenblum for a purchase price of $30,000, and 13,497 shares of Series I preferred stock and 46,331 shares of common stock to Michael E.

In connection with our sale of Series I preferred stock, we also issued 543,870 shares of Series J redeemable preferred stock and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 696,833 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.06 to Allstate Insurance Company. Mr. Goense, a former member of our Compensation Committee, is Managing Director of Allstate Private Equity, a division of the Investment Department of Allstate Insurance Company. We issued the shares and warrants in exchange for debentures of Allscripts held by Allstate in the principal amount of $3,382,704 plus accrued interest of $131,785, which Allstate purchased from us in April 1996 for $3,000,000, and Allstate's agreement to modify the redemption and dividend provisions of the 440,968 shares of Series H preferred stock held by Allstate. In the same transaction, we issued 273,748 shares of Series J preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 659,669 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.06 to Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C. and Liberty Investment Partnership #6, of each of which Mr. Kluger, one

50

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table provides information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 15, 1999 and immediately following this offering by:

. each stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of the common stock;

. each director;

. our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers; and

. all directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is a technical term broadly defined by the SEC to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. In general, beneficial ownership includes any shares that the holder can vote or transfer and stock options and warrants that are exercisable currently or become exercisable within 60 days. These shares are considered to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage of outstanding Allscripts common stock owned by a particular stockholder, but are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, to our knowledge, the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Mr. Philip, who is expected to join our Board of Directors upon the closing of this offering, does not beneficially own any shares of our common stock.

                                                                Percentage of

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Upon the closing of this offering, our Certificate of Incorporation will provide that our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 11,909,782 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 354 holders of record of common stock. All shares of common stock are, and the common stock being sold in this offering will be, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Common Stock

Holders of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters subject to a vote of stockholders and will not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive ratably any dividends that the Board of Directors may declare out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Allscripts, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive ratably the net assets of Allscripts available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock will have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

Preferred Stock

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we will be authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series upon authorization by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, without further approval of the stockholders, will be authorized to fix the number of shares constituting any series, as well as the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights and terms, voting rights and terms, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also, under some circumstances, have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock or otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We are not aware of any plans by a third party to seek control of Allscripts and we have no current plans to issue any preferred stock.

Warrants

As of May 31, 1999, we had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 4,903,763 shares of common stock at an average weighted exercise price of $0.54 per share, 4,895,430 of which are vested and presently exercisable. All of the warrants allow cashless exercises. If they were all exercised in this way at the closing of this offering, we would receive no cash payment, and an additional 4,655,109 shares would be outstanding, assuming an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share.

Registration Rights

Upon the closing of this offering, Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Partners III, L.P. and The Morgan Stanley Venture Partners Entrepreneur Fund, L.P., which collectively hold 6,659,752 shares of common stock and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 3,285,795 shares of common stock, will be entitled to registration rights. Under our Registration Agreement, Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C. and Morgan Stanley Venture Partners III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III, L.P. and The Morgan Stanley Venture Partners

54

Entrepreneur Fund, L.P., collectively, are each entitled to require us to register their shares of common stock three times, but not more than once in any six-month period. In addition, if we propose or are required to register any of our common stock, either for our own account or for the account of other of our stockholders, we are required to notify the holders described above, and subject to certain limitations, to include in such registration all of the common stock requested to be included by those holders. We are obligated to bear the expenses, other than underwriting commissions, of the first registration required by Liberty or the Morgan Stanley parties, and of all incidental registrations. Any exercise of these registration rights may hinder our efforts to arrange future financings and have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Certain Limited Liability, Indemnification and Anti-takeover Provisions

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

After the closing of this offering, our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws will provide that we shall, with some limitations, indemnify our directors and officers against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Allscripts. This indemnification also applies to a criminal action or proceeding, so long as the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. Delaware General Corporation Law Section 102 provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. Our Certificate of Incorporation will include a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.

Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder," which is defined as a person who, together with any affiliates or associates, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain business combinations between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless:

. the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder;

. the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation (other than stock held by directors who are also officers or by certain employee stock plans) in the transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder; or

. the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

For this purpose, business combinations include mergers, consolidations, sales or other dispositions of assets having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and certain transactions that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate share ownership in the corporation.

55

Special Meetings of Stockholders; No Stockholder Action By Written Consent

Our Certificate of Incorporation will provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of the Board of Directors, the Chairman or the President. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that, following the closing of this offering, our stockholders may only take actions at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not take action by written consent.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Nomination of Directors

Our By-laws will provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before, or nominate directors at, any annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be given in writing to the Secretary of Allscripts not less than 120 days prior to the meeting. The By-laws will also specify requirements for a stockholder's notice to be in proper written form.

Classified Board of Directors

The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws will provide that the Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three- year terms. As a result, one-third of our Board of Directors will be elected each year. See "Management--Election of Directors."

Number of Directors; Removal; Vacancies

The By-Laws will provide that we have at least three directors, with the exact number fixed by the Board of Directors. Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the remaining directors then in office. The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock will be LaSalle Bank N.A.

56

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

We will have 18,929,799 shares of common stock outstanding after this offering, 19,979,799 shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full. The 7,000,000 shares we will sell in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act by persons other than our "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Approximately 1,290,370 additional shares, including approximately 51,460 shares issuable upon the cashless exercise of outstanding warrants, will be eligible for immediate sale in the public market as of the date of this prospectus under Rule 144(k) and approximately 469,230 additional shares, including approximately 137,390 shares issuable upon the cashless exercise of outstanding warrants, will be eligible for sale in the public market 90 days after the date of this prospectus under Rule 144. Shares acquired in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144. Restricted shares may only be resold if they are registered under the Securities Act or are sold under an exemption from registration, like the exemption contained in Rule 144. The following table summarizes the shares of our common stock eligible for future sale over various time periods:

(1) All share numbers in this table assume the cashless exercise of all outstanding warrants at the closing of this offering for an aggregate of approximately 4,655,109 shares, assuming an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share.

Our executive officers, directors, key employees and some of our stockholders have agreed to a "lock up" at the request of the underwriters. Under the lock up, they cannot sell or otherwise dispose of any of our common stock in the public market for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the written consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. When the 180-day lock-up period expires, approximately 8,003,480 additional shares, including approximately 2,839,280 shares issuable upon the cashless exercise of outstanding warrants, that are restricted securities will be eligible for sale under Rule 144.

Currently under Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year may, subject to certain conditions, sell his restricted securities. Generally, these persons may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted shares that does not exceed the greater of (1) 1% of our then outstanding common stock (189,298 shares immediately after the offering) or (2) the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, subject to the filing of a Form 144 with respect to the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to requirements concerning manner of sale, notice and availability of public information about us. A person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least two years may sell restricted shares in the public market under Rule 144(k) without regard to the requirements mentioned above, other than the manner-of-sale requirement. Persons deemed to be affiliates must always sell pursuant to Rule 144, even after expiration of the applicable holding periods.

57

Shares that we have issued or that we may issue upon the exercise of options that we have granted to consultants and employees prior to the date of this prospectus also may be eligible for sale in the public market. Beginning 90 days after we become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 701 under the Securities Act permits resales of shares issued pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts in reliance upon certain provisions of Rule 144. Non-affiliates may sell without complying with the public information, holding period, volume limitations or notice provisions of Rule 144. Affiliates may sell without complying with the holding period provisions of Rule 144. If all of the requirements of Rule 701 are met, approximately 291,930 shares of our common stock previously issued upon the exercise of options or issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding options that will then be vested will be eligible for sale beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus. In addition, approximately 1,911,730 shares previously issued upon the exercise of options or issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding options that will then be vested will be eligible for sale upon expiration of the 180-day lock-up period.

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register for offer and sale the common stock subject to outstanding stock options or reserved for issuance under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and other outstanding options. See "Management--Employee Benefit Plans." Shares issued after the effective date of this registration statement upon the exercise of stock options registered on the registration statement generally will be eligible for sale in the public market, subject to the lock-up agreements discussed above and volume and other restrictions.

In addition, certain stockholders have registration rights with respect to 9,945,547 shares of our common stock. Registration of these securities subject to registration rights under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. See "Description of Capital Stock--Registration Rights" and "Risk Factors--Risks Related to This Offering and Our Stock--We may have substantial sales of our common stock after the offering."

Allscripts, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Allscripts, Inc. (an Illinois corporation) and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of Allscripts' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Business

Allscripts, Inc. (an Illinois corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Allscripts Pharmacy Centers, Inc., Prescription Management Company, Inc., and Physician Dispensing Systems, Inc. (altogether referred to as "Allscripts"), provide physicians with Internet and client/server medication management solutions designed to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical healthcare. Allscripts grants uncollateralized credit to its customers. Allscripts operates in one industry segment. As its product offerings evolve, the manners in which its activities are internally reported and its decisions are made could change. Allscripts will continually evaluate its determination of operating segments. The company changed its name to Allscripts, Inc. on October 20, 1997.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allscripts, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

Through December 1998, Allscripts generated substantially all of its revenue from the sale of medications for dispensing at the point of care. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the products. Revenue for services is recognized when the related service is performed. Revenue for software license fees is recognized after the software has been installed, training has been completed and the customer begins utilizing the software. No revenue is recognized where it is refundable or subject to the performance of future obligations.

Manufacturer Rebates

Rebates from suppliers are recorded as a reduction of cost of revenue and are recognized on an estimated basis upon shipment of the product to customers. The difference between the amount estimated and the amount actually received is reflected prospectively as a change of estimate. These revisions have not been material.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods, are carried at the lower of cost (specific identification) or market.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 2 to 7 years. Upon asset retirement or other disposition, cost and the related allowance for depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts expended for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, which are stated at cost, consist of software rights, non-compete agreements, customer lists and goodwill. Allscripts' policy is to amortize intangible assets using the straight-line method

F-8

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

over the remaining estimated economic life of those assets including the period being reported on. Allscripts analyzes the value of its recorded intangible assets on an ongoing basis to determine that the recorded amounts are reasonable and are not impaired. The analysis includes a review of undiscounted future cash flows for each group of acquired customers based on environmental factors, customer retention, cash flow projections and other factors Allscripts believes are relevant to determine if any impairment of the asset has occurred. If impairment is noted, then future cash flows are discounted and the amount of impairment is then measured and a writedown is recorded. If necessary, the remaining amortization period is adjusted accordingly.

The average amortization periods for intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 are as follows:

                                                  1996    1997    1998
                                                -------- ------- -------
Capitalized software...........................  3 years 3 years 3 years
Non-compete agreements.........................  5 years 5 years 5 years
Customer lists.................................  5 years 2 years 2 years
Goodwill....................................... 15 years 5 years 5 years

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs attributable to the issuance of significant debt are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt.

Use of Estimates

Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Allscripts to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and trade receivables.

Allscripts sells its products and services to healthcare providers and employer funded benefit plans. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across the entire United States. Trade receivables with employer funded benefit plans are further diversified across many different industries. To reduce credit risk, Allscripts performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and their payment histories. In general, Allscripts does not require collateral from its customers, but it does enter into advance deposit, security or guarantee agreements if appropriate.

Allscripts maintains its cash balances with one major commercial bank.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets or liabilities are established for temporary differences between financial and tax reporting bases and are subsequently adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect

F-9

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax asset for which realization is not likely.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective December 31, 1996, Allscripts adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." As provided by SFAS 123, Allscripts has elected to continue to account for its stock based compensation programs according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, compensation expense has been recognized to the extent of employee or director services rendered based on the intrinsic value of compensatory options or shares granted under the plans. Allscripts has adopted the disclosure provisions required by SFAS 123.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The fair values of the note payable to bank and the long term debt are estimated based on current interest rates available to Allscripts for debt instruments with similar terms, degrees of risk and remaining maturities. The carrying values of the note payable to bank and the long term debt approximates their fair values.

Comprehensive Income

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130). FAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. To date, Allscripts has not had any transactions that are required to be reported as comprehensive income.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share are presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128), for all periods presented.

In accordance with FAS 128, basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Allscripts has excluded all outstanding convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into 2,977,483 shares of common stock, all outstanding warrants to purchase 4,892,136 shares of common stock and all outstanding options to purchase 2,697,123 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for all periods presented.

Software and Development Costs

Allscripts capitalizes purchased software that is ready for service and software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of the software is established until the software is ready for use. Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. No software development costs related to the TouchScript product have been capitalized to date; such costs will be capitalized in the future after market acceptance has been established. The costs of purchased software are amortized using the straight-line method over three years.

F-10

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

The carrying value of a software and development asset is regularly reviewed by Allscripts, and a loss is recognized when the net realizable value falls below the unamortized cost.

Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Loss per Share (unaudited)

If the offering contemplated by this prospectus is consummated, all of the outstanding shares of Allscripts' convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted into 2,977,483 shares of common stock. Additionally, 20,017 shares of common stock are issuable upon the closing of the offering pursuant to a contingent share payment obligation. Allscripts has presented a pro forma balance sheet as if this conversion and contingent share issuance happened on December 31, 1998 and the pro forma net loss per share information for the year ended December 31, 1998 as if these transactions occurred at the beginning of 1998.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet also reflects Allscripts' reincorporation in Delaware upon the closing of the offering.

3. Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses consist of the following for the years ended December 31:

                                                    1996       1997      1998

                                                 ========== ========== ========

The management reorganization and shutdown costs relate to severance costs associated with reductions in force and other severance arrangements and, in 1996, include the costs associated with the shutdown of Allscripts' Pennsylvania sales office. The portion of the charges outlined above that relates to management reorganization equals $573,727 in fiscal 1996, $239,652 in fiscal 1997 and $430,345 in fiscal 1998. The number and nature of employees affected in each year is as follows: 1996, three administrative and one sales, 1997, seven administrative and three sales and 1998, ten administrative and nine sales. As of March 31, 1999, all payments provided for had been made.

A summary of management reorganization and shutdown costs and related payments is as follows:

                                                  1996       1997       1998

                                                =========  =========  =========

Allscripts determined that an impairment of customer lists and goodwill acquired in certain point-of-care-dispensing acquisitions occurred in 1997. The impairment was triggered by the loss of customers and the reduced level of operating profit being generated by the acquired customers. The impairment analysis included a review of undiscounted future cash flows for each group of acquired customers to determine if any impairment of the asset had occurred. As a result, Allscripts has made a provision in 1997 of $2,328,000, representing the estimated excess of the carrying value of the intangible assets over the

F-11

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

discounted future cash flows. In addition, Allscripts reduced the remaining amortization period to six and three years for goodwill and customer lists, respectively, related to its mail order pharmacy business and five and two years for goodwill and customer lists, respectively, related to its point-of- care site dispensing business. The previous amortization periods had been 20 and 10 years for intangibles arising from those acquisitions. In testing for impairment, Allscripts used the held-for-use model under SFAS 121.

4. Other Expense

Other expense consists of the following for the years ended December 31:

Notes payable as of December 31 consist of the following:

                                                     1997       1998

                                                  ========== ==========

During 1997 and up to April 16, 1998, Allscripts maintained a credit arrangement with a commercial bank consisting of two components, a revolving credit facility and a term loan. The revolving credit facility permitted borrowings up to $10,000,000, limited by certain eligible working capital requirements. At December 31, 1997, approximately $3,400,000 of borrowing capacity was available. Interest was at prime plus 0.5% (9.00% at December 31, 1997). Borrowings under the revolving credit facility were collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets. Allscripts was required to maintain a compensating balance of $350,000 under the revolving credit facility.

On April 16, 1998, Allscripts signed a new revolving credit agreement with its commercial bank. As amended, the revolving credit facility permits borrowings up to $10,000,000, limited by certain eligible working capital requirements. At December 31, 1998, approximately $4,000,000 of borrowing capacity was

F-13

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

available. Interest is at prime plus 0.5% (8.5% at December 31, 1998). Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets. The revolving credit facility expires on April 16, 2000.

The term loan, which was guaranteed by a certain preferred shareholder and which was part of the credit arrangement with a commercial bank that expired on April 30, 1998, was paid off in April 1998 from the proceeds of the Series I Unit Offering.

Under the revolving credit agreement, Allscripts is required to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum net working capital, minimum EBITDA and minimum capital funds. The agreement also prohibits the payment of dividends. At December 31, 1998, Allscripts was in violation of certain financial covenants for which it received a waiver from the bank.

10. Long-Term Obligations

On April 30, 1996, Allscripts completed a $10,000,000 financing in the form of 8.0% convertible subordinated debentures due April 30, 2001. Interest on the debentures is payable semiannually. The debentures can be converted into 2,683,152 common shares of Allscripts at a conversion price equal to $4.2024. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder. Under the terms of the debenture agreements, Allscripts' ability to pay dividends is restricted under certain circumstances.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series I Preferred and common stock (see Note 12), the majority of the outstanding subordinated convertible debentures were exchanged for 1,803,838 shares of Series J Preferred (see Note 13). In connection with this exchange, Allscripts also issued to the Series J Preferred shareholders 1,326,661 detachable warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Allscripts for $0.06 per share. The warrants will expire five years from the date of closing of the sale of Series I Preferred (see Note 12).

An extraordinary loss of $790,431 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998, consisting of the writeoff of deferred financing costs related to Allscripts' convertible subordinated debentures and the value of the warrants issued to the Series J Preferred shareholders.

Long-term obligations as of December 31 consist of the following:

                                                               1997      1998

11. Income Taxes

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," Allscripts recognizes a current tax asset or liability for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax asset or liability for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and their tax basis, excluding goodwill, and carryforwards to the extent that these items are realizable. The consolidated balance sheet includes the following:

At December 31, 1997 and 1998, Allscripts has operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $26,965,000 and $30,534,000, respectively. The operating loss carryforwards expire in 2002 through 2013. Allscripts' ability to utilize these operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income is dependent on a variety of factors, including possible limitations on usage pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section (IRC) 382. IRC 382 imposes an annual limitation on the future utilization of operating loss carryforwards due to changes in ownership resulting from the issuance of common shares, stock options, warrants and convertible preferred shares.

No provision for income taxes has been made due to Allscripts' operating losses.

12. Redeemable Preferred Shares and Shareholders' Equity

Redeemable Preferred Shares

The Series H Preferred shares are voting, nonparticipating and have a liquidation preference upon dissolution of Allscripts of $6.462 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends accrued thereon.

F-15

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

The Series H Preferred shares are senior to Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series F and Series G Preferred shares with respect to the liquidation preference.

The shares are entitled to cumulative, quarterly dividends of 8.0% accruing from the date of issuance and payable beginning September 15, 1998 and then payable quarterly thereafter. Mandatory redemption of shares (at $6.462 per share) in the proportion of 10%, 10%, 10%, and 70% of the total number of shares originally issued was initially scheduled to begin on September 15, 1998 and occur annually thereafter through 2001, respectively.

In connection with the convertible subordinated debenture offering described in Note 10, the terms of the Series H Preferred were amended. Pursuant to such amendment, on September 15, 1998, Allscripts was required to begin paying dividends quarterly. Allscripts was required to redeem shares of Series H Preferred with a redemption value of $6.16 million and all accrued dividends thereon on September 15, 2001.

In conjunction with the issuance of $8,930,000 of Series I Preferred on April 16, 1998, the terms of the Series H Preferred were amended to extend the maturity date five years from the closing of the sale of the Series I Preferred. Allscripts will be required to redeem shares of Series H Preferred equal to $8,800,000 plus all accrued dividends ($3,007,430 at December 31, 1998 or $2.21 per share) five years from the closing of the sale of Series I Preferred. In consideration of the change in terms therein, Allscripts issued 916,657 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Allscripts for $0.06 per share to the holders of Series H Preferred. The warrants will expire five years from the date of the closing of the sale of Series I Preferred.

On April 16, 1998, Allscripts effected the private placement of Series I Preferred and common stock of Allscripts for $8,930,000. The common stock component, 4,597,070 shares, represented 24.4% of Allscripts' common stock at April 16, 1998, assuming exercise of all options and warrants and the conversion of all convertible preferred stock into common stock. Based upon an independent appraisal, $1,009,000 was allocated to the value of the common stock issued in the Series I Unit Offering. The difference, $733,265, between the amount initially recorded for the redeemable preferred stock and its redemption value will be accreted over the life of the Series I Preferred shares such that the Series I Preferred shares will be reflected at redemption value at the date of redemption. The Series I Preferred shares are voting and have a liquidation preference upon dissolution of Allscripts of $6.462 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends accrued thereon. The Series I Preferred shares are in parity with the Series J Preferred shares and senior to Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series F, Series G and Series H Preferred shares with respect to liquidation preference.

A cumulative dividend on the Series I Preferred accrues at a rate of 8.5% per annum. The Series I Preferred are to be redeemed at $8,654,175 plus any accrued but unpaid dividends ($521,053 at December 31, 1998 or $0.39 per share), upon a qualified initial public offering, but no later than five years from the issuance date of the Series I Preferred. A qualified initial public offering is defined as a firm commitment public offering with a per share price of at least $4.80 and in which Allscripts receives at least $20,000,000 in net proceeds.

Accrued dividends are payable only: (a) when declared by the Board, (b) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Allscripts, (c) upon a qualified initial public offering, or (d) upon a redemption event as defined above.

As outlined above and in Note 10, the issuance of the Series I Preferred securities required amendments to the terms of the Series H and an exchange of the Subordinated Convertible debentures, among other things.

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series I Preferred and common stock, all of the outstanding subordinated convertible debentures other than debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $56,378 were exchanged for 1,803,838 shares of Series J Preferred. The Series J Preferred shares are voting and have a liquidation preference upon dissolution of Allscripts of $6.462 per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends accrued thereon.

A cumulative dividend on the Series J Preferred accrues at a rate of 8.5% per annum. The Series J Preferred Shares are to be redeemed at $11,656,388 plus accrued dividends ($701,812 at December 31, 1998 or $0.39 per share) no later than April 16, 2003. The terms for payment of accrued dividends are similar to those for the Series I Preferred shares described above.

Preferred Shares

The Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series F and Series G Preferred shares are voting, nonparticipating, convertible, and have a liquidation preference upon dissolution of Allscripts equal to $1.00, $3.75, $3.20, $4.50, $1.25 and $4.50 per share, respectively. The Series G Preferred shares are senior to the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series F Preferred shares in respect to the liquidation preference. The Series C, Series D and Series F Preferred shares are senior to the Series A and Series B Preferred shares in respect to the liquidation preference. These preferred shareholders have the option to convert their shares into common shares at prescribed rates. Automatic conversion occurs upon the closing of a qualified initial public offering, as defined. At December 31, 1998, Allscripts had reserved 2,977,483 common shares for issuance upon conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred shares.

Warrants

Simultaneous with the Series H Unit Offering, Allscripts issued warrants to purchase 156,428 shares of Allscripts' common shares for $7.50 per share to a shareholder in exchange for the continuing guaranty of a term loan with Allscripts' principal bank. The warrants expire in September 1999. Because the exercise price of the warrants exceeded the per share value implied by the Series H Unit Offering, no value was ascribed to the warrants.

In conjunction with the 1996 convertible subordinated debenture offering, the term loan guaranteed by a shareholder was amended to extend the maturity date to April 30, 1998. In exchange for extending its guaranty of such term debt, Allscripts issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 279,181 common shares with a strike price of $4.2024. The warrants expire April 30, 2001. Because the exercise price of the warrants exceeded the per share value implied by the convertible subordinated debenture offering, no value was ascribed to the warrants.

As a condition to the Series I Unit Offering, Allscripts amended the maturity date of the Series H Preferred shares and exchanged the subordinated convertible debentures for shares of Series J Preferred. In exchange for these concessions, Allscripts issued detachable warrants to the holders of Series H Preferred shares and holders of Series J Preferred shares in the aggregate amounts of 916,657 and 1,326,661 shares of common stock, respectively. Based upon an independent appraisal, $165,000 was allocated to the warrants issued to the Series H Preferred shareholders, and the net loss attributable to the common shareholders in 1998 was increased by this amount. Based upon an independent appraisal, $238,800 was assigned to the value of the warrants issued to the Series J Preferred shareholders. The warrants carry a strike price of $0.06 and expire in April 2003.

As part of the Series H Unit Offering, Allscripts issued warrants to purchase 2,269,633 shares of the common stock of Allscripts for $0.06 per share. These warrants are on substantially the same terms as the above warrant issuances. The warrants expire in September 1999. Based upon an independent

F-17

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

outside appraisal, Allscripts has allocated value from the Series H Unit Offering of $1,097,000 to these warrants. This amount has been recorded as additional paid-in capital and as a reduction in the initial carrying value of the Series H Preferred shares. The carrying amount of the Series H preferred shares is being periodically adjusted to their mandatory redemption value.

All of the above warrants may be exercised with payment of cash or the surrender of additional warrants, such warrants to be valued by the excess of fair market value of a common share on the day of exercise over the warrant purchase price. In addition, the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances in the event of dilutive financings, as defined.

At December 31, 1998, all outstanding warrants were fully vested and exercisable, and Allscripts has reserved 4,892,136 common shares for issuance upon the exercise of warrants.

Stock Option Plans

Allscripts has established several stock option plans under which officers, employees, directors, consultants or agents are eligible to receive incentive stock or nonqualified options to purchase shares of Allscripts' common shares. In November 1993, Allscripts adopted the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and established the number of shares initially issuable under the plan at 150,000 shares. In addition, the several existing plans were amended to terminate future grants under those plans and to provide for the transfer of shares authorized for grant but not granted to the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. The exercise price for shares under these plans is determined by Allscripts' Board of Directors at the date of grant. All options must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant. The plans provide for exercise of options by payment of cash, surrender of common shares or surrender of options. Options vest on various schedules, primarily over three and four year periods from the date of grant, and in certain circumstances upon a change in control. In September 1994, the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to provide for 1,077,217 additional common shares to be issuable pursuant thereto. In December 1995, the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to provide for 578,331 additional common shares to be issued pursuant thereto. In July and September 1997, the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to provide for 684,151 and 500,000 additional common shares to be issued pursuant thereto. At December 31, 1998, options to purchase 2,905,258 common shares were authorized under those plans, and options with respect to 1,434,122 shares were exercisable under these plans.

In addition, in November 1993, Allscripts adopted the 1993 Amended and Restated Eligible Directors Stock Option Plan and established the number of shares issuable under the plan at 33,333 shares. The plan provides for nonqualified option grants to eligible directors, as defined, of Allscripts upon election to the Board of Directors or adoption of the plan and upon the first and second anniversary of their directorship. The exercise price for shares under these plans is determined by Allscripts' Board of Directors, at the date of grant. The plans provide for exercise of options by payment of cash, surrender of common shares or surrender of options. Options vest upon grant. In February 1997, Allscripts adopted an amendment and restatement of the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and terminated the Eligible Directors Stock Option Plan. The amendment and restatement of the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan made eligible directors (as defined in the Eligible Directors Stock Option Plan) eligible for grants of stock incentives under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and provided for the transfer to the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan of shares authorized for grant but not granted under the Eligible Directors Stock Option Plan and of shares underlying outstanding options under the Eligible Directors Stock Option Plan that are terminated or canceled or that expire.

In addition, in 1990, Allscripts has issued options to purchase 7,760 shares of Allscripts' common stock outside of the plans under separate agreement. These options were fully vested and exercisable at December 31, 1997.

In May 1998, in conjunction with the closing of the Series I Unit Offering, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation and reissuance of options to purchase 1,481,916 shares of Allscripts' common stock. The options covered by the grant all have an exercise price of $0.06 per share. At December 31, 1998, Allscripts has reserved 2,913,018 shares for issuance upon exercise of all options.

Had Allscripts elected to apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) regarding recognition of compensation expense to the extent of the calculated fair value of stock options granted in 1996, 1997 and 1998, reported net income and earnings per share would have been reduced as follows:

                                          1996       1997        1998

Pro forma net loss per share--basic
 and diluted.......................... $     1.06 $      3.69 $     1.25

Under SFAS 123, compensation expense representing fair value of the option grant is recognized over the vesting period. The initial impact on pro forma net loss may not be representative of compensation expense in future years, when the effect of amortization of multiple awards would be reflected in pro forma earnings.

For purposes of the SFAS 123 pro forma net income and earnings per share calculation, the fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in determining fair value as disclosed for SFAS 123 are shown in the following table:

13. Contingencies

The pharmaceutical repackaging industry is subject to stringent federal and state regulations. Allscripts' repackaging operations are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as if Allscripts were a manufacturer. Allscripts is also subject to regulation by the Drug Enforcement Administration in connection with the packaging and distribution of controlled substances.

Allscripts is a defendant in numerous multi-defendant lawsuits involving the manufacture and sale of dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine and phentermine. The plaintiffs in these cases claim injury as a result of ingesting a combination of these weight-loss drugs. These suits have been filed in various jurisdictions throughout the United States, and in each of these suits, Allscripts is one of many defendants, including manufacturers and other distributors of these drugs. Allscripts does not believe it has any significant liability incident to the distribution or repackaging of these drugs and it has tendered defense of these lawsuits to its insurance carrier for handling. The lawsuits are in various stages of litigation and it is too early to determine what, if any, liability Allscripts will have with respect to the claims made in these lawsuits. If Allscripts' insurance coverage in the amount of $15,000,000 per occurrence and $15,000,000 per year in the aggregate is inadequate to satisfy any resulting liability, Allscripts will have to defend these lawsuits and be responsible for the damages, if any, that Allscripts suffers as a result of these lawsuits. Allscripts does not believe that the outcome of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

14. Employment Matters and Agreements

In June 1996, October 1997, December 1997, March 1998 and December 1998, certain executives and employees terminated their responsibilities with Allscripts. In connection with these terminations, Allscripts entered into severance agreements with these executives and employees. Total costs of $574,000, $204,000 and $430,000, including amounts payable in the future related to these agreements, have been included as management restructuring and shutdown costs under Other Operating Expenses in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

15. Savings Plan

Effective January 1, 1993, employees of Allscripts who meet certain eligibility requirements can participate in Allscripts' 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan. Under the plan, Allscripts may, at its

F-20

discretion, match the employee contributions. Allscripts recorded expenses from continuing operations related to its matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 of $35,418, $44,781 and $36,725, respectively.

16. Enterprise Systems, Inc. Agreement

During 1996 and 1997, Allscripts established a relationship with Enterprise Systems, Inc. to further develop Allscripts' automated dispensing product and introduce touch technology to its product. Enterprise developed a product called TouchScript. On March 13, 1997, Enterprise Systems, Inc. entered into a Merger Agreement with HBO & Company and subsequently on June 26, 1997 completed said merger. On July 17, 1997, Allscripts entered into an agreement with HBO & Company whereby HBO & Company assigned and transferred to Allscripts all of its rights, title and interest in the TouchScript system and all corresponding documentation therefor, including all copyrights, copyright registrations, trademark applications and trademark registrations. In exchange, Allscripts issued 519,530 shares of common stock.

The shares were recorded at fair market value determined by Allscripts of $0.06 per share, thus assigning a value of $31,173 to the TouchScript software. The software is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a three-year period.

17. Discontinued Operations

On March 18, 1999, Allscripts signed a definitive agreement to sell certain assets of its pharmacy benefit management operation to Pharmacare Management Services, Inc., Pharmacare Direct, Inc., and Procare Pharmacy, Inc. The sale closed on March 31, 1999. The aggregate purchase price is $15,400,000, payable in the form of an up front payment at closing of $7,000,000 and a contingent payment of up to $8,400,000 payable within 10 business days after the first anniversary of the closing date. Additionally, the buyers purchased the inventory at Allscripts' net cost, approximately $500,000, while Allscripts retained the remaining working capital. The contingent payment is based upon the number of prescription fillings (including original fillings and subsequent refills) for the one-year period following the closing. Allscripts will receive $23.12 for each traditional mail order prescription filling up to a maximum of $5,000,000, $11.67 for each specialty mail order prescription filling up to a maximum of $700,000 and $4.48 for each retail pharmacy prescription filling up to a maximum of $2,700,000, in each case for fillings only from customers that have been retained as of the anniversary date. Under certain circumstances, a portion of the contingent payment can be paid prior to the anniversary date. Allscripts expects to receive less than the maximum contingent payment.

The operating results of the pharmacy benefit management segment have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption "Income (loss) from discontinued operations." Additionally, Allscripts has restated its prior financial statements to present the operating results of the pharmacy benefit management operations as a discontinued operation.

19. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." In February 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS No. 131 specifies revised guidelines for determining an entity's operating segments and the type and level of financial information to be disclosed. This standard requires that management identify operating segments based on the way that management desegregates the entity for making internal operating decisions. SFAS No. 132 standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits.

As a result of the March 1999 sale of the pharmacy benefit management segment, Allscripts currently operates in one segment. Allscripts does not offer the types of benefit programs that fall under the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132--Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and other Postretirement Benefits.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. To date, Allscripts has not entered into any derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.

In June 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This standard requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software costs that are incurred during the application's development stage and amortize them over the software's estimated useful life. SOP 98-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Such costs were not material for the three-year period ended December 31, 1998. Allscripts is currently evaluating the impact of SOP 98-1 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

20. Related Party Transactions

Since June 1997, Allscripts has provided pharmacy benefit management services for Anthem, Inc. One of Allscripts' directors is Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anthem (see Note 17).

21. Subsequent Events--Acquisitions

In May 1999, Allscripts acquired all of the outstanding stock of TeleMed Corp., which does business as MedSmart, in exchange for 117,500 shares of common stock and additional shares of common stock under certain circumstances. MedSmart has recently entered the business of informing, or "detailing," physicians about specific pharmaceuticals over the Internet and through Interactive Voice Response. MedSmart also sells medical books and practice- related software to physicians.

In May 1999, Allscripts agreed in principle to acquire substantially all of the assets of Shopping@Home, Inc., a development stage Internet retailer, in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $650,000, bearing interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, and payable upon the consummation of this offering. Allscripts' Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer are principal shareholders of Shopping@Home, Inc.

Allscripts intends to account for these business combinations as purchases.

22. Subsequent Events--Other

On May 2, 1999, Allscripts' Board of Directors authorized (1) the merger of Allscripts into a subsidiary incorporated in Delaware upon the closing of the offering contemplated by this prospectus and (2) a one-for-six reverse common stock split.

The reverse stock split and the reincorporation merger in Delaware were subject to shareholder approval. Shareholder approval was obtained on June 18, 1999. Consequently, all common share information in the accompanying financial statements has been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The quarterly financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with Allscripts' annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share are presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," for all periods presented.

In accordance with FAS 128, basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Allscripts has excluded all outstanding convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into 2,977,483 shares of common stock, all outstanding warrants to purchase 4,892,136 shares of common stock and all outstanding options to purchase 2,440,757 shares of common stock from the calculation of diluted loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for all periods presented.

3. Notes Payable

Under the revolving credit facility, Allscripts is required to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum net working capital, minimum EBITDA and minimum capital funds. As of March 31, 1999, Allscripts was in violation of certain financial covenants. In May 1999, Allscripts received a waiver for these violations.

4. Stock Option Plans

On March 31, 1999, Allscripts granted an additional 308,259 options to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $3.00. In connection with these grants, Allscripts recognized approximately $1,850,000 of unearned compensation, which represents the difference between the exercise price of the options and the deemed fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

5. Warrants

On March 31, 1999, Allscripts issued warrants to purchase 11,666 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share. Allscripts assigned a value of $9.00 to the warrants and accordingly recorded expense in the amount of $105,000 in the first quarter of 1999.

6. Contingencies

The pharmaceutical repackaging industry is subject to stringent federal and state regulations. Allscripts' repackaging operations are regulated by the FDA as if Allscripts were a manufacturer. Allscripts is also subject to regulation by the DEA in connection with the packaging and distribution of controlled substances.

Allscripts is a defendant in numerous multi-defendant lawsuits involving the manufacture and sale of dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine and phentermine. The plaintiffs in these cases claim injury as a result of ingesting a combination of these weight-loss drugs. These suits have been filed in various jurisdictions

F-29

ALLSCRIPTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

throughout the United States and in each of these suits Allscripts is one of many defendants, including manufacturers and other distributors of these drugs. Allscripts does not believe it has any significant liability incident to the distribution or repackaging of these drugs, and it has tendered defense of these lawsuits to its insurance carrier for handling. The lawsuits are in various stages of litigation, and it is too early to determine what, if any, liability Allscripts will have with respect to the claims made in these lawsuits. If Allscripts' insurance coverage in the amount of $15,000,000 per occurrence and $15,000,000 per year in the aggregate is inadequate to satisfy any resulting liability, Allscripts will have to defend these lawsuits and be responsible for the damages, if any, that Allscripts suffers as a result of these lawsuits. Allscripts does not believe that the outcome of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

7. Discontinued Operations

The operating results of the pharmacy benefit management segment have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption "Income from discontinued operations." Additionally, Allscripts has restated its prior financial statements to present the operating results of the pharmacy benefit management operation as a discontinued operation.

Operating results from discontinued operations were as follows:

Included in revenue is $1,242,406 in the first quarter of 1998 and $374,876 in the first quarter of 1999 from Anthem, Inc., a related party.

In the first quarter of 1999, Allscripts recognized a gain on the sale of this business of $3,547,161, based upon the cash received at closing. This gain does not reflect contingent payments from the buyer of up to $8,400,000, which will be recognized if and when they are realized.

8. Income Taxes

Allscripts has made no provision (benefit) for income taxes, as it anticipates at this time that the annual effective income tax rate will be minimal or zero.

9. Pro Forma Information

If the offering contemplated by this prospectus is consummated, all of the outstanding shares of Allscripts' convertible preferred stock would automatically be converted into common stock. Additionally, 20,017 shares of common stock are issuable upon the closing of the offering, pursuant to a contingent share payment obligation. Allscripts has presented a pro forma balance sheet as if this conversion and contingent stock issuance happened on March 31, 1999 and pro forma net income (loss) per share information as if these transactions happened as of January 1, 1999.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is based on the actual financial statements of Allscripts during the periods presented, adjusted to give effect to (1) the change in the number of authorized common shares of Allscripts upon its reincorporation in Delaware,
(2) the issuance of additional shares related to a contingent payment obligation, (3) the redemption of the Redeemable Preferred Shares upon the closing of the initial public offering, (4) the Conversion of Preferred Shares Series A, B, C, D, F, and G into common shares upon the closing of the initial public offering, and (5) the additional accretion of the Series H preferred shares due to the initial public offering, collectively referred to as the "Pro Forma Adjustments."

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, gives effect to the Pro Forma Adjustments as if they had occurred on January 1, 1998. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet at March 31, 1999 gives effect to the pro forma adjustments as if they occurred on March 31, 1999. The adjustments are described in the accompanying notes.

The pro forma consolidated financial information does not purport to represent what Allscripts' results of operations would actually have been had the Pro Forma Adjustments in fact occurred on such date or to project Allscripts' results of operations for any future period. The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

On May 2, 1999, Allscripts' Board of Directors adopted and, on June 18, 1999, Allscripts' shareholders approved, a one-for-six reverse split of its common stock. All references in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information to number of shares, as well as per share amounts and average number of shares outstanding, have been restated to reflect the stock split as if it had been effective on January 1, 1998.

UNDERWRITING

Allscripts and the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the shares being offered. Subject to certain conditions, each Underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the number of shares indicated in the following table. Goldman, Sachs & Co., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp. and Wit Capital Corporation are the representatives of the Underwriters.

                                                                 Number of

If the Underwriters sell more shares than the total number set forth in the table above, the Underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional 1,050,000 shares from Allscripts to cover such sales. They may exercise that option for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the Underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the Underwriters by Allscripts. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the Underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

Total..........................................      $            $

Shares sold by the Underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial public offering price. Any such securities dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial public offering price. If all the shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the representatives may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

At the request of Allscripts, the Underwriters have reserved up to 350,000 shares of common stock for sale to certain directors, employees and associates of Allscripts at the initial public offering price. There can be no assurance that any of the reserved shares will be purchased. The number of shares available for sale to the general public in this offering will be reduced by the number of reserved shares sold. Any reserved shares not so purchased will be offered to the general public on the same basis as the other shares offered hereby.

Allscripts, its directors, officers and certain other securityholders have agreed with the Underwriters not to dispose of or hedge any of their shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of the representatives. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the common stock. The initial public offering price for the common stock will be negotiated among Allscripts and the representatives of the

U-1

Underwriters. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be Allscripts' historical performance, estimates of Allscripts' business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of Allscripts' management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

Wit Capital Corporation, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., will participate in the offering as one of the underwriters. The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. approved the membership of Wit Capital on September 4, 1997. Since that time, Wit Capital has acted as an underwriter, e-Manager or selected dealer in over 65 public offerings. Except for its participation as a manager in this offering, Wit Capital has no relationship with Allscripts, or any of its founders or significant stockholders.

The common stock has been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MDRX".

In connection with the offering, the Underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while the offering is in progress.

The Underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular Underwriter repays to the Underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such Underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

These activities by the Underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Each Underwriter has, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, represented and agreed that (a) it has not offered or sold and prior to the date six months after the date of issue of the shares of common stock will not offer or sell any shares of common stock to persons in the United Kingdom, except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances that have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, (b) it has complied, and will comply, with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 of Great Britain with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares of common stock in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom, and (c) it has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by it in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 (as amended) of Great Britain or is a person to whom the document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.

The Underwriters do not expect sales to discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of shares offered.

Allscripts estimates that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $900,000.

Allscripts has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

All information in this prospectus gives effect to a one-for- six reverse split of our common stock effected on June 28, 1999.

Allscripts, Inc.

We provide physicians with Internet and client/server medication management solutions designed to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical healthcare. Our technology-based approach focuses on the point of care, where the prescription originates, and creates an electronic dialogue between physicians and other participants in the healthcare delivery process, including patients, pharmacies, managed care organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers. We believe physicians find our solutions attractive because incorporating these solutions into their office work flow can increase efficiency and profitability and improve the quality of patient care.

The current process for prescribing and delivering medications is inefficient, unnecessarily costly and error-prone. Our in-office and Internet- based comprehensive solutions are designed to improve and streamline every step of the pharmaceutical healthcare process in a way that can benefit each participant. Our medication management solutions enable physicians to improve their prescribing at the point of care by providing them with information about potential adverse drug interactions, patient drug history and managed care guidelines. This ready access to information during the prescribing process reduces the time physicians spend clarifying and changing prescriptions and enables them to better manage financial risk. Our products also enable physicians to increase practice revenue by dispensing medications. In addition, our solutions make it possible for patients to have their prescriptions electronically routed to the pharmacy of their choice or to benefit from the convenience, immediacy and confidentiality of receiving their medications in the physician's office. Our solutions also benefit managed care organizations by promoting higher physician compliance with their pharmacy guidelines, while pharmacies benefit from improved communication with physicians, which enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors.

We currently offer products in four categories: point-of-care medication management, Internet products and services, information products and prepackaged medications. Our TouchScript software enables electronic prescribing, routing of prescription information and capturing of prescription data at the point of care. Our other e-commerce products and services offer physicians and their patients medication-related education and information services. We also sell prepackaged medications to physicians so they can offer their patients the convenience of receiving prescription medications in the physician's office.

We believe that our experience in the pharmaceutical healthcare delivery process gives us a competitive advantage. Through our business relationships with thousands of physicians, we have developed an understanding of their office work flow and business practices. Versions of TouchScript are currently installed and used in over 150 physician practice sites, and we have facilitated relationships

Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee............. $ 26,855

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify our directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. The enabling statute provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. Our Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement as set forth in Exhibit 1.1, our directors and officers are indemnified against certain civil liabilities that they may incur under the Securities Act in connection with this registration statement and the related prospectus.

We have purchased directors and officers liability insurance, which provides coverage against certain liabilities.

In addition, some of our directors are indemnified against liabilities that they may incur in their capacities as directors by third parties with which they are affiliated.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

EXHIBIT 10.12

CONFIDENTIAL AND

SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Supply Agreement dated this 27th day of August, 1998, between McKesson U.S. Health Care, a division of McKesson Corporation ("McKesson") and Allscripts, Inc. ("Allscripts") shall be to establish a three (3) year program for the supply of prescription drugs and other health and beauty care products by McKesson to Allscripts' Mail Order Facility in Columbus, Ohio and Allscripts' Repackaging Facility in Libertyville, Illinois (referred to herein collectively as "Facilities" and individually as "Facility"). The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. MERCHANDISE

For purposes hereof, "Merchandise" shall comprise all items normally stocked or drop-shipped by McKesson Drug Distribution Centers servicing the 48 contiguous states, including prescription drugs, OTC drugs, health and beauty aids and sundries. This Agreement does not apply to merchandise sold to Allscripts by McKesson Corporation divisions or subsidiaries other than McKesson Drug Company. The Allscripts' Facilities will be serviced by McKesson's distribution centers in Carol Stream, Illinois and Washington Courthouse, Ohio.

2. TERM

The term of this Agreement shall be for the three year period commencing on October 1, 1998, and during such period Allscripts agrees to designate McKesson as its primary supplier of Merchandise and to purchase from McKesson in excess of [ ]*% of all of the requirements of its Facilities for Merchandise and other items covered hereunder.

3. ORDERING AND DELIVERY

Prescription products will be delivered with an invoice to each of Allscripts' Facilities up to [ ( )]* times per week. (Monday through Friday) in Libertyville and [ ( )]* times per week in Columbus. Orders transmitted by 8:00 p.m. local time Sunday through Thursday will be delivered the next day by 7:00 a.m. at Allscripts' Libertyville Facility and 7:30 a.m. at Allscripts' Columbus Facility. Alternate source orders transmitted by 5:00 p.m. will be delivered next day by noon. Afternoon deliveries transmitted by 2:00 p.m. will be delivered same day by 7:00 p.m. Penalties for late shipments of $[ ]* per hour for deliveries after 7:30 a.m. in Libertyville and 8:00 a.m. in Columbus shall be imposed hereunder; provided, however, this payment shall not apply during inclement weather conditions.

4. PAYMENT TERMS

A. The invoice payment terms for the Merchandise covered by this Agreement are as follows:

* Confidential portions omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

1

[ ( )]* Day Payment Terms: All invoices, (weighted average of [ ]* days from date of invoice) are due and payable [ ( )]* days from the date of invoice via Electronic Funds Transfer (currently Tuesday/Thursday).

Prepayment Incentives

Prepayment Terms (30 day, 15 day and 7 day): The prepayment is a one- time payment equivalent to thirty (30) or fifteen (15) or seven (7) days worth of purchases (based on the most recent three-month purchase history) which is held as a deposit by McKesson. The amount of the required deposit will be adjusted quarterly, and may be adjusted as often as monthly, to cover increases or decreases in purchase volume. Following such one-time payment, all purchases are payable under the
[ ]* Day Payment Terms as described above.

Allscripts shall be entitled to a reduction in the markup set forth in the cost of goods schedule for prepayment if Allscripts elects this prepayment option. The prepay incentive shall be as follows:

Prepay Incentive                Markup Reduction
----------------                ----------------
    30 Days                         [     ]*%
    15 Days                         [     ]*%
     7 Days                         [     ]*%

B. Any payments made after the due date indicated herein shall result in a [ ]* percent ([ ]*%) (or the maximum amount permissible under applicable law, if lower) increase in the purchase price of the Merchandise. A [ ]* percent ([ ]*%) service charge (or the maximum amount permissible under applicable law, if lower) will be imposed semi-monthly on all balances delinquent more than [ ( )]* days.

C. This Agreement is conditioned upon Allscripts' maintaining a sound financial condition throughout the term hereof and to that end, Allscripts agrees to promptly substantiate in writing, at McKesson's reasonable request, the existence of such condition with audited financial statements and any other supporting information reasonably required by McKesson.

D. Each customer of McKesson is required to negotiate its payment terms and credit line with McKesson individually, based upon such customer's individual financial and risk characteristics. Nothing in this agreement is intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, a binding obligation or continuing commitment by McKesson to extend credit or payment terms options and all such terms and conditions shall be subject to the review and approval of McKesson's Credit Department. Allscripts retains the right to terminate the agreement upon change of payment terms.

* Confidential portions omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

2

E. McKesson reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change a payment term (including imposing the requirement of cash payment upon delivery) or limit total credit, if (i) McKesson concludes there has been an unsatisfactory payment performance; or (ii) Allscripts ceases to meet McKesson's credit requirements or McKesson determines that Allscripts is likely to cease meeting such requirements. McKesson further shall be entitled to suspend or discontinue the shipment of any additional orders, which have not already been paid for, to Allscripts' Facilities if the above is not remedied, to McKesson's satisfaction, within [ ( )]* days. In such event, McKesson, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement upon the expiration of said [ ]* day period. Allscripts retains the right to terminate the agreement upon change of payment terms.

5. SERVICE LEVEL

A. In the event McKesson fails to maintain a Service Level (as defined below) for pharmaceutical purchases hereunder equal to at least
[ ]*% with respect to each of Allscripts' Facilities (the "Minimum Service Level"), McKesson will be obligated to issue credits to Allscripts in accordance with Section 5.D. below, subject to the following:

1. The Minimum Service Level shall not apply until sixty (60) days after the later of (i) the date of this Agreement, or (ii) the date on which Allscripts has furnished to McKesson reasonably accurate estimates of its pharmaceutical products usage.

2. Items that (i) are new to the market or (ii) have not been previously ordered by Allscripts shall require a one month start up period.

3. McKesson shall have at least a six-week start up period for new manufacturer contract transition.

B. "Service Level" shall mean a percentage amount calculated as follows:

A - B
----- x 100
A - C

where,

A     =    [  ]*

B     =    [  ]*

C     =    [  ]*

C. For any given order, a "Line" shall mean any stock-keeping unit of a pharmaceutical product ordered by Allscripts, regardless of the quantity ordered.

* Confidential portions omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

3

D. In the event McKesson fails to maintain the required Service Level for
[ ]* consecutive months, McKesson will credit Allscripts, {based on

the following schedule};

below [     ]*%                          [     ]*%
      [     ]*%                          [     ]*%
      [     ]*%                          [     ]*%

of the aggregate net pharmaceutical purchases by Allscripts' affected Facility for the [ ]* months of reduced service and each subsequent month of reduced service. So long as McKesson is current in the crediting of such amounts, such failure shall not in itself constitute a default hereunder. If the service level for any [ ]* month during the agreement falls below [ ]*%, Allscripts may elect to immediately terminate the agreement.

E. In the event a distribution center is out of a particular product, McKesson can ship shorted product(s) from another McKesson distribution center and the product will be available to Allscripts within [ ]* hours of transmitted order.

F. McKesson provides [ ]* hour, [ ]* days per week emergency service. Emergency telephone numbers and pager numbers for primary and secondary contacts at each distribution center will be provided upon execution of this Agreement. When contacted in an emergency situation, distribution center personnel will access distribution center inventory and make arrangements for shipment of products to the facility via air, taxi, truck or police.

G. Each McKesson distribution center has a plan in place in the event of a natural disaster to guarantee alternate delivery, delivery of emergency products direct from the manufacturer or from an alternate McKesson distribution center. Operations personnel at each distribution center work with the local McKesson Account Manager and Allscripts to put together an emergency order that is retained at the distribution center. In the event of a disaster, the emergency order can be automatically shipped to Allscripts.

McKesson's National Computer Center has the ability to transmit or receive information to or from any of McKesson's 35 distribution centers. In the event of telephone line disruption, McKesson uses satellite technology as back up. The National Computer Center is completely redundant and self-contained, with a completely separate water system, electrical system and a mainframe computer. McKesson maintains a complete back-up system in another location that can be used in the event of a disaster impacting the primary site.

* Confidential portions omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

A. In consideration for the Cost of Goods specified herein, Allscripts expressly commits to purchase a total of $90 million (net of returns, allowances and rebates) in Direct Facility Delivery volume of Merchandise from McKesson during the three year term of this Agreement ("Volume Purchase Commitment"). If after the first year of this Agreement Allscripts has not achieved the appropriate pro rata purchase volume based on its Volume Purchase Commitment, McKesson, in addition to the other rights and remedies available to it hereunder, reserves the right in its sole discretion to redetermine the Cost of Goods pricing specified below.

D. Neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such attempted assignment shall be without effect, except that either party may, without the consent of the other, upon the sale of the assets of the business to which this Agreement pertains, assign this Agreement to an affiliate of such party.

G. The failure of either party to enforce at any time or for any period of time any one or more of the provisions thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or of the right of such party thereafter to enforce each such provision.

H. If any federal, state, or local tax currently or in the future is levied upon McKesson in a jurisdiction where either McKesson or Allscripts does business and such tax relates or applies to the Merchandise or any transactions covered by this Agreement (excluding taxes imposed on McKesson's net income), the Cost of Goods to those Allscripts Facilities involved will be increased a corresponding percentage amount.

K. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement should be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the

11

extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the other of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
