Part I
Item 1 - Business
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Medical Information Technology, Inc. (MEDITECH) was founded in 1969 to develop and market information system software for the hospital industry. During 2005 combined product and service revenue was $304.6M, operating income was $111.4M and net income was $77.7M, up 8.5%, 9.1% and 8.7% compared to the prior year. Product bookings were $214.5M and the resultant year-end product backlog was $203.9M, up 17.2% and 36.4% compared to the prior year. By year-end MEDITECH had over 2,300 staff members, and almost 2,000 active hospital sites throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
HOSPITAL SOFTWARE
Initially MEDITECH developed a software product to automate one of the main departments in a hospital, the clinical laboratory which performs various diagnostic tests on blood or urine specimens. Within a few years, this product became standardized, thereby requiring minimal adaptation to meet the individual needs of a typical customer. MEDITECH extended the concept and developed additional software products for the rest of a hospital's clinical departments. Eventually, it moved into the financial area by developing a hospital billing and accounts receivable product as well as various general accounting products.
Although the individual products could be operated in a stand alone fashion, a hospital achieved maximum effectiveness when they were used in an integrated mode, sharing access to the common clinical and financial records of the hospital. This concept ultimately led to MEDITECH developing the so-called hospital information system, a cohesive set of software products designed from the outset to work in conjunction with the overall operation of the hospital and to minimize the need for specialized interfaces.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
Sophisticated software, such as MEDITECH's, requires extensive computer and communication equipment to function. In spite of this, MEDITECH continues to be a pure software company, limiting itself to specifying the aggregate components needed as well as suggesting typical configurations from certain hardware vendors. The responsibility is left to the hospital to purchase the requisite hardware and secure a continuing source of maintenance service for it.
The hardware components traditionally consist of a small set of central medium-sized computers and a large set of display terminals and printers distributed throughout the hospital. All of these elements are interconnected by means of a standard high speed communication network. The computers execute the software and include large disk subsystems containing the permanent and common clinical and financial records of the hospital.
Hardware technology evolves rapidly, and the recent trend has been to replace the display terminals with desktop and handheld computers, thereby forming a client server network. In this mode of operation, the central computers become the file servers while software is executed locally on the client computer which makes file requests to the servers.
Page 3 of 28
LICENSED SOFTWARE
MEDITECH requires a hospital customer to sign a standard software license agreement prior to product delivery, implementation and subsequent service of the software. This agreement specifies a front end product fee and a front end implementation fee, both of which are payable over the implementation process, and a monthly service fee after the site goes live. In addition to precluding ownership and restricting transfer, the license mandates the customer hold MEDITECH harmless from any liability arising from incorrect operation of the software.
MEDITECH now bases its product fee on a customer's net patient revenue across all of its sites, and sets its implementation fee on the total number of sites. Therefore, larger hospitals pay more than small hospitals. The monthly service fees are 1% of the product fees. A typical 200 bed acute care hospital might incur a $1,000,000 product fee, a $100,000 implementation fee and a $10,000 monthly service fee. An order is booked when a signed software license and a 10% deposit are received.
STAFF ORGANIZATION
MEDITECH is organized into functional units grouped around product development, sales, marketing, implementation, customer service, accounting and facility operations. All MEDITECH staff work in five company owned facilities in the greater Boston area.
From its inception, MEDITECH utilized communication technology which allowed much of its business activities to be performed by remote access. MEDITECH staff sitting at their desks may access client hospitals, both personnel and computers. As a result, there is no need for remote offices. Although most customer contact is through the phone or e-mail, certain of the sales and implementation staff travel to customer sites.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Most of the product development staff is working on the incremental evolution of the current product line, as well as the creation of new products each year. The rest of the staff is developing a set of replacement products utilizing a new technology. Approximately every ten years, MEDITECH introduces the next generation of products based on the new technology and gradually updates existing customers.
SALES AND MARKETING
Most of the direct sales staff, organized into regions, concentrate on new prospects. In addition, some of the sales staff monitor existing customers to expose them to MEDITECH's entire product line. Marketing activities and promotion are low key because hospitals are easily identified, finite in number and generally send a request for proposal to vendors when they contemplate the purchase of a hospital information system.
During the sales process, prospects generally visit MEDITECH to talk to product specialists and to view product demonstrations. Thereafter they are encouraged to visit various MEDITECH customer sites to observe first hand the software in actual operation and to discuss issues of concern with hospital personnel.
Page 4 of 28
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
To ensure a successful implementation, the staff must properly train a core group of hospital personnel about the operation of the software and how to use it in their daily activity. To avoid interruptions from normal hospital activities, MEDITECH requires the hospital personnel to come to its offices in the Boston area for intensive training sessions.
As training proceeds, the implementation staff customizes certain dictionaries to fit the specific need of the hospital's environment, provides interfaces to non-MEDITECH systems and assists the hospital in converting data from legacy systems. In addition, MEDITECH delivers, installs and tests the licensed software on the customer's hardware. MEDITECH utilizes remote access communication technology to minimize the need to travel.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Once a hospital goes live, the responsibility of maintaining the customer is transferred to the service staff. MEDITECH provides 24 hour a day service coverage to these customers in order to respond to problem calls. In addition, the staff updates customers with new releases of the software products as they become available. To ensure the continuing education of the hospital staff, MEDITECH runs seminars on the use of its products.
HCA-THE HEALTHCARE COMPANY
HCA-The Healthcare Company utilizes a MEDITECH clinical information system in over 250 hospitals and has been MEDITECH's largest customer for many years. HCA represented 9% of MEDITECH revenues in 2003, 10% in 2004 and 10% in 2005.
COMPETITION
The market for health care information systems is subject to the technological imperative. Accordingly, MEDITECH has a completely integrated set of application products, implements them successfully, provides ongoing maintenance including updates and continues the developmental process. The Company's competitors who make similar claims include Siemens, McKesson, Cerner, IDX, Eclipsys, CPSI and Epic. MEDITECH does not offer the breadth of products and services which the competition offers to hospitals nor does MEDITECH offer the products and services which the competition offers to related medical enterprises. Instead MEDITECH focuses exclusively in the hospital information system software market and believes it competes favorably in this market.
ACCESS TO SEC FILINGS
"www.meditech.com" is the Company's website address which provides access to its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments thereof just as soon as such reports are filed with the SEC. The links so provided allow access to copies of the reports stored on MEDITECH's website, but a link is also provided to allow access to all of the Company's filings stored on the SEC's website as well.
"http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=1011452&action=getcompany" may be used to access all of the Company's filings stored on the SEC's website instead.
In addition the Company will provide paper copies of these filings free of charge to its shareholders upon request.

Item 1A - Risk Factors
There are numerous risk factors which may affect future results of operations. The health care industry is highly regulated and is subject to changing economic and political influences. Federal and state legislatures could modify the health care system in respect to reimbursement and financing. Hospitals may respond to these pressures by delaying the purchase of new information systems. Previous volatility in the market place such as that due to Y2K concerns and September 11th could reappear and cause delays. The Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act of 1996 directly impacts the industry by specifying standards to protect the security and confidentiality of patient information. It may be possible for patients to bring claims against software providers regarding injuries due to errors. Hospitals consolidating into an integrated health care delivery system may be able to negotiate price reductions. Finally, the Company is dependent on a cohesive group of long time senior managers and staff with vast experience in the hospital industry and software technology.
Item 2 - Properties
As of December 31, 2005 the Company owned five facilities containing about 1.1 million square feet of space, all being well maintained Class A properties in the greater Boston area. The Company occupies 60% of the space and the remaining 40% is leased to various tenants. The Company has adequate space for its reasonable needs over the near future.
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
On April 18, 2003, Jerome H. Grossman, a shareholder and former Director of the Company, filed a complaint in the Suffolk County, Massachusetts Superior Court against the Company and five of its six Directors: A. Neil Pappalardo, Edward B. Roberts, Morton E. Ruderman, Roland L. Driscoll and Lawrence A. Polimeno. The complaint alleges: (1) the Directors have violated a duty of good faith and loyalty to Grossman by terminating him as a consultant to the Company in 2001, by failing to nominate him for re-election as a Director in 2002, and by enforcing the Company's right of first refusal against him; (2) the Directors have "rigged" the market for the Company's common stock in favor of buyers and against sellers by establishing an artificially low price for the stock; (3) the Directors have established an artificially low price for the stock so Pappalardo can purchase shares from the Company at a price less than the "fair value" of those shares; and (4) Pappalardo, as the controlling shareholder of the Company, has violated a fiduciary duty to shareholders by dominating the Board of Directors, artificially depressing the price of stock, and personally benefiting from the depressed price by purchasing tens of thousands of shares of stock from the Company each year.
On January 6, 2006, the Grossman complaint was resolved pursuant to a "Final Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release" which among other terms provides for dismissal of the case with prejudice and for no payment to be made by MEDITECH or any of the individual Defendants.
On February 10, 2005, Michael Hubert, a former Meditech employee, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Medical Information Technology Profit Sharing Plan, A. Neil Pappalardo, its Trustee and Company Director, and the other five Company Directors, Lawrence A. Polimeno, Roland L. Driscoll, Edward B. Roberts, Morton E. Ruderman and L.P. Dan Valente. The complaint is purportedly brought on Plaintiff's own behalf and on behalf of a purported class consisting of "all participants in the [Plan] who have received any distribution since January 1, 1998 and who did not receive the fair value of their benefits". The complaint alleges: (1) the Trustee and Directors are fiduciaries of the Plan in valuing Meditech's common stock for purposes of redemption and payment of a participant's benefits under the Plan; (2) the Directors, in connection with an annual contribution of the Company's common stock to the Plan, have undervalued the Company's common stock and have not paid retiring or terminating participants in the Plan the fair value of their interests in the Plan; (3) Meditech's founders and controlling shareholders, including some of the Directors, have been buyers of Meditech common stock and have benefited from the low price established by Pappalardo and approved without adequate care by the other Directors; (4) Pappalardo is not independent and that neither he nor the other Directors have relied upon an independent appraiser; (5) by failing to fairly value the benefits due each employee participating in the Plan upon his or her termination, that all of the defendants violated their fiduciary duties to the participants of the Plan and that as a result Plaintiff and members of the purported class are due benefits from the Plan; and (6) the Directors violated fiduciary duties to the participants of the Plan in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The complaint seeks certification of the case as a class action, a judgment against the defendants, a permanent injunction ordering the Plan to consult an outside appraiser in valuing the Plan's assets, removal of Pappalardo as the Plan Trustee, and damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005:
Total revenue from both existing and new customers increased 8.5% from $280.8 million in 2004 to $304.6 million in 2005. It was composed of a $11.8 million increase in product revenue and a $12.0 million increase in service revenue.
Operating expenses increased 8.1% from $178.6 million in 2004 to $193.1 million in 2005 due to an overall increase in staff and additional bonus expense accruals. The resultant operating income increased 9.1% from $102.1 million in 2004 to $111.4 million in 2005.
Other income increased from $23.0 million in 2004 to $23.7 million in 2005 due primarily to $1.0 million realized gains from the redemption and sale of marketable securities. Other expense increased from $7.8 million in 2004 to $9.3 million in 2005 due primarily to increased lawsuit related legal expenses and higher charitable donations. The resultant pretax income increased 7.3% from $117.3 million in 2004 to $125.9 million in 2005.
The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 39.1% in 2004 to 38.3% in 2005 due primarily to legislated reductions in taxable income for domestic manufacturers. Net income increased 8.7% from $71.4 million in 2004 to $77.7 million in 2005 due primarily to the greater increase in revenue compared to expense.
Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004:
Total revenue from both existing and new customers increased 3.7% from $270.8 million in 2003 to $280.8 million in 2004. It was composed of a $12.7 million increase in service revenue offset by a $2.7 million decrease in product revenue. The decrease in product revenue is due primarily to extended implementation schedules in the product backlog.
Operating expenses increased 4.4% from $171.1 million in 2003 to $178.6 million in 2004 due primarily to an increase in sales and marketing efforts and to higher client service staff levels along with their associated costs. The resultant operating income increased 2.4% from $99.7 million in 2003 to $102.1 million in 2004.
Other income increased from $18.8 million in 2003 to $23.0 million in 2004 due primarily to a $2.0 million increase in dividend and interest income, and no write-downs in 2004. Other expense increased from $7.4 million in 2003 to $7.8 million in 2004 due to additional professional fees incurred in connection with a one-time recision offer to certain purchasers of the Company's shares. The resultant pretax income increased 5.7% from $111.0 million in 2003 to $117.3 million in 2004.
The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 39.3% in 2003 to 39.1% in 2004. Net income increased 6.0% from $67.4 million in 2003 to $71.4 million in 2004 due primarily to the disproportionate increase in other income, net of other expenses.
Financial Condition:
Customer deposits increased 44.0% from $14.6 million on December 31, 2004, to $21.0 million on December 31, 2005, due to higher product bookings which resulted in a higher product backlog.
Page 8 of 28
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At December 31, 2005, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $273.7 million. The marketable securities consisted of preferred or common equities and government notes which can easily be converted to cash. Cash flows from operations were $93.3 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $7.4 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in revenue and other changes in working capital. The payment of $69.4 million in dividends to shareholders constituted the primary use of cash generated by operating activities during 2005.
MEDITECH has no long-term debt. Shareholder equity at December 31, 2005 was $384 million. Additions to property, plant and equipment will continue, including new facilities and computer systems for product development, sales and marketing, implementation, service and administrative staff. Management believes existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities together with funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating and capital expense requirements.
Recision Offer:
During the month of February from 1997 through 2003, the Company offered and sold shares of its common stock to its staff members in a manner which may not have complied with the registration requirements of certain federal and state securities laws. During the 4th quarter of 2004 the Company made a recision offer to these individuals so as to extinguish its liability, if any, for these potential securities law violations. None of these individuals accepted the recision offer.
Prior to the 4th quarter of 2004 the shares subject to recision rights were considered and treated as redeemable common stock for financial accounting purposes until such time as the recision rights terminated or were exercised. Therefore the recision amount and the related shares were classified as Temporary Equity. In late December, when the recision offer expired, the Company transferred the recision amount and related shares from Temporary Equity to Shareholder Equity.
Critical Accounting Policies:
All of our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the financial statements included in Item 8 of this report. We believe four of these constitute our most critical policies requiring estimates and judgments by management which are significant in terms of materiality. Reference Note 1(a) for revenue recognition, Note 2 for marketable securities, Note 3 for allowance for doubtful accounts and Note 9 for taxes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Medical Information Technology, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Medical Information Technology, Inc. (a Massachusetts corporation) as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the related statements of income, shareholder equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Medical Information Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December, 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005
(1) Operations and Accounting Policies
Medical Information Technology, Inc. (the Company) is engaged in the development, manufacture and licensing of computer software products and related services used in the medical field. The principal market for the Company's products consists of health care providers primarily located in the United States and Canada.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain accounting policies discussed below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. The Company enters into perpetual software license contracts which provide for a customer deposit upon contract execution, milestone billings and fixed monthly service fees thereafter. The Company classifies product and related implementation fees together as product revenue in the statement of income and recognizes these fees as revenue upon completion of each contract milestone, which approximates the percentage-of-completion method prescribed by SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain Production-type Contracts. Software services represent post-implementation support services, which are recognized as the related services are rendered.
The Company follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force's No. 01-14 (EITF 01-14), which requires reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses to be characterized as revenue with offsetting operating expenses in the income statement.
(b) Software Development Costs
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, the Company is required to capitalize software development costs incurred after technological feasibility of the software development projects is established and the realizability of such capitalized costs through future operations is expected, if such costs become material. To date, development costs incurred by the Company after technological feasibility has been established have been immaterial and as such have been charged to operations as incurred.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company carries all property, plant and equipment on a cost basis and provides for depreciation in amounts estimated to allocate the costs thereof under the following depreciation methods and estimated useful lives:
| Description | Method | Useful Life |
| Computer equipment | MACRS | 3-5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | MACRS | 7 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | SL | 10 years |
| Buildings | SL | 31.5-40 years |
Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the asset's useful life.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
(e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The Company's marketable securities are carried at fair value and its US government debt securities are carried at cost (see Note 2). The Company's long-term investments are carried at cost, less a valuation reserve, which approximates fair value based on management's assessment.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to certain customers to whom the Company makes substantial sales. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a result, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses but historically has not experienced any significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of customers. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004 no individual customers accounted for greater than 10% of the outstanding accounts receivable. At December 31, 2005 one customer accounted for 10.8% of the outstanding accounts receivable.
(f) Investments
The Company accounts for its equity investments in Patient Care Technologies Inc., LSS Data Systems Inc. and MEDITECH South Africa in accordance with the cost method. All three companies license the Company's software technology and re-license it to their respective customers. Each serves a market niche which is part of the overall medical market but is outside of the hospital market which the Company serves. Included in these investments is a collaterized mortgage with LSS Data Systems Inc. The Company believes the fair value of these investments approximates its carrying value of $8,252,604 at December 31, 2005.
(g) Net Income per Common Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, the Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). The Company has no common stock equivalents, thus both basic EPS and diluted EPS are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

MEDICAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005
(h) Comprehensive Income
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity including items such as unrealized gains (losses), net of tax, on securities classified as available for sale, foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. The Company's comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 includes net unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities and is as follows:
| 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | |
| Net income | $67,423,596 | $71,441,090 | $77,675,858 |
| Net unrealized gains (losses) | 11,550,631 | 933,502 | (3,731,677) |
| Comprehensive income | $78,974,227 | $72,374,592 | $73,944,181 |
(i) Segment, Geographic and Enterprise-Wide Reporting
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires certain financial and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each reportable operating segment of an enterprise, as defined. Based on the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 131, the Company currently operates in one operating segment, medical software and services.
SFAS No. 131 also requires that certain enterprise-wide disclosures be made related to products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company derives substantially all of its operating revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services. All of the Company's assets are located within the United States. During 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Company derived its operating revenue from the following countries, based on location of customer (as a percentage of total operating revenue):
| 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | |
| United States | 88% | 86% | 87% |
| Canada | 10% | 12% | 11% |
| Other | 2% | 2% | 2% |
| 100% | 100% | 100% | |
During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, one customer accounted for approximately 9%, 10% and 10% of total revenue, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005
(2) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS No. 115 requires companies to classify their investments as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The Company's marketable securities consist of common and preferred equities which have been classified as available-for-sale. These are recorded in the financial statements at fair market value and any unrealized gains (losses) are reported as a component of shareholder equity. In addition the Company holds short and long term U.S. government agency issues which have been classified as held-to-maturity. These are recorded in the financial statements at their cost which approximates their fair value. The fair market value of marketable securities was determined based on quoted market prices. At December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the cost basis net of write-downs, unrealized gains, unrealized losses and fair market value of the Company's holdings are as follows:
| 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | |
| Net cost of equities | $148,854,935 | $160,808,264 | $171,281,515 |
| Unrealized Gains | 20,762,666 | 22,915,338 | 17,700,139 |
| Unrealized Losses | (425,235) | (1,022,069) | (2,026,331) |
| Cost of agency issues | 35,000,000 | 54,999,775 | 69,990,000 |
| Fair Market Value | $204,192,366 | $237,701,308 | $256,945,323 |
SFAS No. 115 requires that for each individual security classified as available-for-sale, a company shall determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged as such, the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down shall be reflected in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company determined that the decline in value for certain securities was other than temporary. Accordingly, the Company recorded a write-down related to these securities in the accompanying statements of income of $1,462,074.
The unrealized loss at December 31, 2005, is attributable to 9 equities, none of which has been in loss status for more than 10% of cost for longer than 1 month. The Company considered the effect of rising interest rates during 2005 and the issuer's current financial position in order to reach its conclusion that these impairments are temporary in nature at December 31, 2005. The details are as follows:
| 9 Equities | |
| Original Cost | $53,310,566 |
| Fair Market Value | $51,284,235 |
| Unrealized Loss | ($2,026,331) |

(3) ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
A summary of the allowance for doubtful accounts activity for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 is as follows:
| 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | |
| Balance, beginning of year | $700,000 | $800,000 | $800,000 |
| Amounts charged to expense | 100,000 | 17,279 | 19,421 |
| Amounts written off | - | (17,279) | (19,421) |
| Balance, end of year | $800,000 | $800,000 | $800,000 |
(4) ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses consist of the following at December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:
| 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | |
| Accrued bonuses | $20,000,000 | $21,300,000 | $23,600,000 |

| $24,065,768 | $25,272,308 | $27,789,307 | |
(5) COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company's Board of Directors has full discretion regarding the timing and amounts of dividends paid on common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, and 2005, the annual dividend rate per share was $1.56, $1.80 and $2.00, respectively, paid quarterly on shares then outstanding.
(6) REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK
During the month of February from 1997 through 2003, the Company offered and sold shares of its common stock to its staff members in a manner which may not have complied with the registration requirements of certain federal and state securities laws. During the 4th quarter of 2004 the Company made a recision offer to these individuals so as to extinguish its liability, if any, for these potential securities law violations. None of these individuals accepted the recision offer.
Prior to the 4th quarter of 2004 the shares subject to recision rights were considered and treated as redeemable common stock for financial accounting purposes until such time as the recision rights terminated or were exercised. Therefore the recision amount and the related shares were classified as Temporary Equity. In late December, when the recision offer expired, the Company transferred the recision amount and related shares from Temporary Equity to Shareholder Equity.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors oversees the Company's business affairs and monitors the performance of management, but is not involved in the day-to-day operations. The Directors meet regularly with the CEO, the COO, the CFO, other officers and our independent registered public accounting firm; read reports and other materials; and participate in Board and committee meetings. The Board currently consists of 6 members. During 2005 the Board held 4 regularly scheduled quarterly meetings and each of the Directors attended all meetings. Messrs. Driscoll, Roberts, Ruderman and Valente are "independent" as defined by the rules of the NYSE and NASDAQ.
The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, an Executive Compensation Committee and a Charitable Contribution Committee. During 2005 each committee member attended all committee meetings. The following is a description of the committees.
The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Driscoll and Valente. Both members are former CPAs and audit committee financial experts within the meaning of applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The committee met 6 times in 2005 to review accounting practices and advise the Company's CFO. In addition, the committee met with the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting firm and reviewed the Company's business operations, industry, financial performance, business and financial risks, processes and controls, key policies, legal and regulatory requirements, code of ethical conduct and new or unusual transactions. The Committee does not have a written charter. The Committee submits its annual report to the Board of Directors each April.
The Executive Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Ruderman and Roberts. This committee met once in 2005 to recommend the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's annual salary, the criteria and amount for his bonus. The full Board of Directors annually approves the salary and bonus amount for each of the officers.
The Charitable Contribution Committee consists of Messrs. Ruderman, Polimeno, Pappalardo and Messing. This committee meets at least 6 times a year to review the criteria for the year's charitable contribution program, meets and evaluates each organization under consideration and determines the amount to be contributed to each organization for the year.
The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. Instead, the full Board, because of its small size, carries out the duties of a nominating committee. The Board has not adopted written guidelines regarding nominees for Director.

*Represents contributions by the Company to the MEDITECH Profit Sharing Plan.
Profit Sharing Plan: The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution plan for all of the Company's staff known as the Medical Information Technology, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan. All of the staff who have completed one year of service participate in the Plan. The Board of Directors sets the annual contribution which is allocated in proportion to total compensation (capped at $100,000) of all eligible members for the Plan year. No allocation is allowable under this Plan to owners of 10% or more of the Company's common stock. Contributions by members are not permitted. Benefits under the Plan are considered deferred compensation and become fully vested after five years of continuous service with the Company. Members who have at least 20 years of service or who have incurred financial hardship may make in service withdrawals. Lump sum cash payment is made upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment.
Compensation of Directors: The members of the Board of Directors who are not Officers of the Company currently receive a fee of $8,000 for each quarterly meeting fully attended, with such fee being deemed to also cover any special meetings, conference or committee time, and incidental expenses expended by such directors on behalf of the Company during the year.
CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
During 2005 a Code of Ethical Conduct was created by management and adopted by the Board of Directors in an effort to outline the principles established at MEDITECH which help guide the actions of its staff, Officers and Directors. This Code sets forth ethical standards of conduct for all to follow and provides a framework for decision-making. This Code is intended to promote proper conduct at all levels of business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as well as to deter wrongdoing. These guiding principles propel MEDITECH forward towards future success in a continued tradition of "ingenuity delivered with integrity" in all of our business relationships. The Code of Ethical Conduct is available on MEDITECH's web site and any waiver for senior management will be disclosed there as well.
