INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
The Plan Administrator
CPSI 401(k) Retirement Plan
Computer Programs and Systems, Inc.
Mobile, Alabama
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of CPSI 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion
 
As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, investment assets held by AmSouth Bank, the trustee of the Plan, and transactions in those assets were excluded from the scope of our audit of the Plan’s December 31, 2000 financial statements, except for comparing the information provided by the trustee, which is summarized in Note 6, with the related information included in the financial statements.
 
Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements as of December 31, 2000. The form and content of the information included in the 2000 financial statements, other than that derived from the information certified by the trustee, have been audited by us and, in our opinion, are presented in compliance with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, of CPSI 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2001, and for the year then ended present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of CPSI 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Our audit of the Plan’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001, was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information included in Schedule H, “Assets Held for Investment Purposes at End of Year,” (IRS Form 5500) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

N OTES TO F INANCIAL S TATEMENTS
D ECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
 
N OTE 1—P LAN DESCRIPTION
 
The following description of the CPSI 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
General.     The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (the Company) who have one year of service and are age twenty-one or older. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
 
Contributions.     The Plan is funded primarily by salary reductions employees elect to defer, a matching contribution equal to the first $1,000 deferral per participant, plus a discretionary amount determined by the Company. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans.
 
Participant Accounts.     The Company will allocate the amount the participant elects to defer to an account maintained by the Trustee on the participant’s behalf. If the participant is eligible, the Company will also allocate the matching contribution made to the Plan on the participant’s behalf. The Company’s discretionary contribution will be “allocated” or divided among participants eligible to share in the contribution for the Plan year. In addition, the participant’s account will be credited with a share of the investment earnings or losses of the trust fund.
 
Vesting.     Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on vesting years of service as follows:
 
Years of Service
  
Percentage
Less than 2
  
0
2
  
20
3
  
40
4
  
60
5
  
80
6
  
100
 
Payment of Benefits.     Payment of a participant’s account balance is available upon death, disability or retirement. If employment terminates for reasons other than those listed above, the participant will be entitled to receive only the “vested percentage” of his account balance and the remainder of his account will be forfeited. Only employer matching and discretionary contributions are subject to forfeiture.
 
Forfeited Accounts.     At December 31, 2001 and 2000, forfeited nonvested account balances totaled $29,040 and $10,258, respectively. This amount will be used to reduce future employer contributions to the Plan.

N OTE 2—S UMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of accounting
 
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
Investment valuation and income recognition
 
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Units of separate accounts are valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
 
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Payment of benefits
 
Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
N OTE 3—A DMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
The Plan’s sponsor paid the administrative expenses incurred by the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
N OTE 4—P LAN TERMINATION
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

N OTE 5—T AX STATUS
 
In 2001 the Plan adopted the Invesco Prototype Plan and Trust which obtained its latest determination letter on August 30, 2001, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Company believes that the Plan currently is designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore, the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) and the related trust is tax-exempt as of December 31, 2001. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plan’s financial statements.
 
N OTE 6—I NVESTMENTS
 
The following presents investments at December 31, 2001 and 2000 that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets. All investments are participant directed.

N OTE 10— S UBSEQUENT EVENTS

•
 
Rollover contributions will no longer be accepted
 
 
•
 
Allows Catch-Up of contributions for participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the year
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the equity markets experienced wide fluctuations in value. In addition, there were various transactions with the plan in the normal course of business.
