Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2007

1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

We provide high-quality health information and benefits management solutions to healthcare organizations, employers, consumers, and educational institutions. With an industry-leading employee and human resources (HR) benefits management platform and one of the largest consumer health information libraries in the world, A.D.A.M. products empower consumers to get smart about their health and wellness and manage their personal benefits and health account finances while helping organizations reduce the costs of healthcare and benefits administration.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the general instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements may be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with current period presentation.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007 or any future period.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On January 14, 1999, certain option grants were canceled at the election of their holders and then replaced that day on a one-for-one basis with new options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price that day, $5.25. These options are accounted for in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”), “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation (an interpretation of APB 25)”, which provides guidance on the accounting for certain stock option transactions and subsequent amendments to stock option transactions. FIN 44 requires compensation cost for these variably priced options to be recorded to the extent that the current market price exceeds the options’ grant price. The expense is to be adjusted for increases or decreases in the intrinsic value of the modified awards in subsequent periods and until the awards have been exercised, forfeited, or expired. We had 173,149 variably priced options outstanding at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, all of which had fully vested by January 2002 and are accounted for under FIN 44. There were no variably priced options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2007. We recorded stock-based compensation expense (benefit) of $48,000 and $(34,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively related to these variably priced options.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (“Statement 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123 (“Statement 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The approach to accounting for share-based payments in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative to financial statement recognition.

Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement 123(R) using the modified prospective method and, therefore, reflect compensation expense in accordance with the SFAS 123(R) transition provisions. Under the modified prospective method, prior periods are not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard at earlier dates.

As a result of the adoption of Statement 123(R), we recorded $234,000 and $23,000 of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to our employee stock options, not including those variable options described above. Had we continued to account for these options under APB 25 we would have recorded no such expense. After recording the expense through March 31, 2007, there remained approximately $1,622,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested employee stock options to be recognized over the next 2.4 years.

We used the Black-Scholes method (which models the value over time of financial instruments) to estimate the fair value at grant date of the options. The Black-Scholes method uses several assumptions to value an option. We used the following assumptions:

 

Expected Dividend Yield – because we do not currently pay dividends, our expected dividend yield is zero,

 

Expected Volatility in Stock Price – reflects the historical change in our stock price over the expected term of the stock option,

 

Risk-free Interest Rate – reflects the average rate on an United States treasury bond with maturity equal to the expected term of the option, and

 

Expected Life of Stock Awards – reflects the simplified method to calculate an expected life based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term of the stock award.

The weighted-average assumptions used in the option pricing model for stock option grants were as follows:

 

Three Months Ended March 31,

   2007     2006  

Expected Dividend Yield

     —         —    

Expected Volatility in Stock Price

     53.08 %     78.22 %

Risk-Free Interest Rate

     4.76 %     4.65 %

Expected Life of Stock Awards – Years

     2.25       3.50  

Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date

   $ 3.46     $ 5.68  

In 2002, our Board of Directors adopted and our shareholders approved our 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, under which we have reserved 1,500,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the grant of incentive or non-qualified stock options to full-time employees and key persons. Options are granted at an exercise price as determined by our Board of Directors, which may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock at the date of the grant, and the options generally vest ratably over a three-year period. Options granted under the Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

Intrinsic value was calculated by multiplying the number of options times the amount by which the Company’s market price at March 31, 2007 exceeded the strike price for each option. The market price at March 31, 2007 was $6.36.

3. ACQUISITION OF ONLINE BENEFITS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

On August 14, 2006, A.D.A.M. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Online Benefits, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Online Benefits”) from the shareholders thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $33,676,000, which is comprised of $29,500,000 in cash, 529,100 shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of $3,000,000, and $1,176,000 in transaction costs pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger.

The purpose of the acquisition of Online Benefits was to expand the Company’s distribution and customer base. The results of operations of Online Benefits commencing on August 14, 2006 are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The allocation of the purchase price consideration paid at closing to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon estimates of the fair market value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141”). The fair values assigned to the intangibles acquired were formulated based on an independent third-party evaluation.

4. DEBT

Note Payable

During August 2006, the Company assumed a debt of $1,500,000 in conjunction with the acquisition of Online Benefits. This debt was secured by a first priority lien on the software product Online Benefits developed under the Joint Development Agreement and a second priority lien on all other assets of Online Benefits so long as any Senior Obligations, as defined, were outstanding after which this debt would be secured by all the assets of Online Benefits. Accrued interest, at the 8% rate per annum, amounted to approximately $590,000 at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, we had $2,148,000 in Restricted Cash for the payment of principal and interest related to this note, as the note was in dispute with the creditor at the acquisition date.

In January 2007, the dispute with the creditor was settled and the note and accrued interest were paid in full from Restricted Cash.

Long-term debt

In conjunction with the acquisition of Online Benefits, the Company entered into a credit agreement (Credit Agreement) with Capital Source Finance LLC (Lender). The Credit Agreement, with related balances at March 31, 2007, is summarized below (numbers in column are in thousands):

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Conversion and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 14, 2006 which specifies terms applicable to the conversion of the convertible note and provides the Lender with certain registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible note.

In addition to the above terms, there is a provision for a prepayment of 50% excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is secured by (i) a first lien on all existing and future tangible and intangible assets and personal property and equity stock of the Company and any existing and future subsidiaries and (ii) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants for earnings as well as ratios related to total debt to earning, debt and interest due to earnings, interest to earnings and capital expenditures.

The deferred financing fees related to this debt were a gross amount of $1,340,000 with an accumulated amortization of $246,000 and $140,000 as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated March 20, 2007, which modified certain terms of the agreement, including certain covenant ratios. The repayment terms were also modified whereas a single payment of $2,000,000 was due and paid March 19, 2007 in lieu of two payments of $1,000,000, each due December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008. No other changes were made to the remaining payment terms.

6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of purchased intellectual content, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer relationships, capitalized software product and content development costs to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, and software development costs for internal use software.

Capitalized software product and content development costs to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed consist principally of salaries and certain other expenses directly related to the development and modifications of software products and content capitalized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Amortization of capitalized software product and content development costs is provided at the greater of the ratio of current product revenue to the total of current and anticipated product revenue or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the software, which we have determined to generally be two years.

In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” we expense costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage and thereafter capitalize costs incurred in developing or obtaining internal use software. Costs, such as maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful life, generally three years.

Intangible assets are summarized as follows (in thousands):

7. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

We compute basic net income per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the addition of the effect of common stock equivalents (stock options, warrants and convertible debt) to the denominator of the basic net income per share calculation using the treasury stock method if their effect is dilutive. The computation of net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment and Sublease with BeBetter Networks, Inc.

At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had a 2% investment in BeBetter Networks, Inc. (“BeBetter”). As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our Chairman of the Board of Directors held an approximate 2% voting interest in BeBetter. We account for the investment under the cost method as we have less than a 20% ownership and do not exercise significant influence over the investee.

At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying value of our investment in BeBetter was $0. We have no plans to make additional investments in BeBetter in the future.

Investment and Sublease with ThePort Network, Inc.

As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held an approximate 32% voting interest in ThePort Network, Inc. (“ThePort”). Our Chairman of the Board of Directors, who also currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of ThePort, held an approximate 7% voting interest in ThePort at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and held a convertible note from and made loans to ThePort in the amount of approximately $1,799,000 and $1,699,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Two of our other directors also own equity interests in ThePort. The investment is being accounted for under the equity method (see Note 1 to the financial statements included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying value of our investment in ThePort was $0. We have not adjusted our investment below zero for our share of ThePort’s losses since then and through March 31, 2007, as we have not provided or committed to provide any additional financial support to ThePort.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

We lease office space and equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements expiring on various dates through 2011. We also have capital lease commitments for certain equipment. Additionally, we have entered into certain agreements to license content for our services from various unrelated third parties.

Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $239,000 and $60,000, respectively.

Our headquarters are located in approximately 12,000 square feet of leased office space in Atlanta, Georgia. The space is leased for a term ending in September 2008. We have additional leased office space of 35,806 square feet in Uniondale, New York. The space is leased for a term ending in June 2011. Approximately 20,200 square feet is sublet to unrelated third parties for a term ending in June 2011 for an amount of $37,000 per month. The difference between our lease rate and the income from the sublease contracts, present valued, which amounted to $1,261,000 and $1,332,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively has been recorded as a liability on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet as part of our acquisition adjustments related to Online Benefits. This liability will be amortized over the term of the lease.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” which clarifies disclosure, recognition and measurement requirements related to certain guarantees. We indemnify our customers from third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of our products. Historically, costs related to this guarantee have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the potential impact of this guarantee on our future results of operations.

10. CONCENTRATIONS

No one customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or 2006.

11. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded an income tax provision of $177,000, or 38% (our estimated effective tax rate) of our pretax income. Additionally, we performed our quarterly evaluation of the deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance as of March 31, 2007. Based on our analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2007, we reduced the valuation allowance by $177,000. These two transactions fully offset one another and therefore our income tax provision was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The March 31, 2007 deferred tax asset balance of $5,500,000 also remained unchanged from December 31, 2006. As a result of realizing this additional $177,000 of our deferred tax asset, we reduced the related valuation allowance to $17,776,000 at March 31, 2007 from $17,953,000 at December 31, 2006.

As a result of realizing this additional $277,000 of our deferred tax asset, we reduced the related valuation allowance to $9,699,000 at March 31, 2006 from $9,976,000 at December 31, 2005.

At March 31, 2007, we had net operating loss (NOL) and research and development (R&D) credit carryforwards available for tax purposes of approximately $63 million and $1 million, respectively, which will expire on December 31 in years 2007 through 2022 and 2007 through 2023, respectively. Approximately $30 million of the net operating loss carryforwards are attributable to Online Benefits.

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company has recognized tax benefits from all tax positions we have taken, and there has been no adjustment to any carryforwards (net operating loss or research and development credits) as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. Therefore, there are no unrecognized tax benefits and no related FIN 48 tax liabilities at March 31, 2007. In addition, future changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will likely have no impact on our effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance.

As of March 31, 2007, we have no accrual requirement for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions since the tax benefits have not been included in prior income tax return filings. Accrued interest relating to uncertain tax positions would be recorded as a component of interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.

The tax years 2003 to 2005 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. Additionally, upon inclusion of the NOL and R&D credit carry forward tax benefits from tax years 2007 to 2023 in future tax returns, the related tax benefit for the period in which the benefit arose may be subject to examination.

12. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company is involved in legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Although the final outcome of existing matters cannot be determined, it is the Company’s opinion the final resolution of these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

We provide high-quality health information and benefits management solutions to healthcare organizations, employers, consumers, and educational institutions.

In addition to solutions for employers and employees, we also offer products and services for the insurance broker market, including flexible spending account (“FSA”) administration, Agencyware, an insurance agency management system and Client Community, a dedicated web portal for insurance brokers to interact with their HR customers and prospects.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, product and content development expenses, bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

   

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB 101A and 101B and as revised by SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition” and Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” Accordingly, we recognize revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

We generate revenues mainly in three ways – licensing, professional services and product sales. Licensing revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license agreement beginning after delivery has occurred, when we have determined that the fees from the agreement are fixed and determinable and there are no significant returns or acceptance provisions. When a contract includes multiple elements, such as services, the entire fee is allocated to each respective element based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value, and recognized when the revenue criteria for each element is met. Service revenues are generally recognized upon completion and acceptance by the customer. For revenue arrangements in which we sell through a reseller, we do not recognize revenue until an agreement has been finalized between the customer and our authorized reseller and the content has been delivered to the customer by the reseller. Revenue is not recognized unless collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues from product sales are generally recognized at the time title passes to customers, distributors or resellers. Revenues from royalty agreements are recognized as earned based upon performance or product shipment.

 

   

Sales Returns Allowances and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with establishing the sales returns and other allowances in any accounting period. Management must make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. Allowances for estimated product returns are provided at the time of sale. We evaluate the adequacy of allowances for returns primarily based upon our evaluation of historical and expected sales experience and by channel of distribution. The judgments and estimates of management may have a material effect on the amount and timing of our revenue for any given period. The allowance for returns in prior years has not been significant. In 2006, our company adopted a no return policy.

Similarly, management must make estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Capitalized Software Product and Content Development Costs

We capitalize software product and content development costs in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 86 (“FAS 86”), “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” This statement specifies that costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product shall be charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of all planning, designing, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. We cease capitalization of internally developed software when the product is made available for general release to customers and thereafter, any maintenance and customer support is charged to expense when related revenue is recognized or when those costs are incurred. We amortize such capitalized costs as cost of sales on a product-by-product basis using the greater of the ratio of current product revenue to the total of current and anticipated product revenue or on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the software, which we have determined to generally be two years. We continually evaluate the recoverability of capitalized costs and if the successes of new product releases are less than we anticipate then a write-down of capitalized costs may be made which could adversely affect our results in the reporting period in which the write-down occurs.

We also capitalize internal software development costs in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 98-1 (“SOP 98-1”), “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” This statement specifies that computer software development costs for computer software intended for internal use occurs in three stages: (1) the preliminary project stage, where costs are expensed as incurred, (2) the application development stage, where costs are capitalized, and (3) the post-implementation or operation stage, where again costs are expensed as incurred. We cease capitalization of developed software for internal use when the software is ready for its intended use and placed in service. We amortize such capitalized costs as cost of sales on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over a period of three years. We continually evaluate the usability of the products that make up our capitalized costs and if certain circumstances arise such as the introduction of new technology in the marketplace that management intends to use in place of the capitalized project, then a write-down of capitalized costs may be made which could adversely affect our results in the reporting period in which the write-down occurs.

 

   

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we evaluate goodwill and intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis. Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of an entity below its carrying value. These events or circumstances would include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated in relation to the operating performance and estimated future discounted cash flows of the entity.

 

   

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves management estimating the actual tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and U.S. GAAP purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance.

 

   

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition approach method. The adoption decreased our net income by $234,000 and $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, compared to our previous method of accounting for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. We expect to incur approximately $1,622,000 of expense over a weighted average of 2.4 years for all unvested options outstanding at March 31, 2007.

Total net revenues increased 163.8%, or $4,064,000, to $6,546,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $2,482,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Revenues from Online Benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2007 accounted for $3,734,000 of the net increase. Excluding the results of Online Benefits, total revenue increased $330,000 or 13.3% organically for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Licensing revenues increased 168.6%, or $3,577,000, to $5,699,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $2,122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Licensing revenues are derived from licensing our products primarily to healthcare organizations, technology companies, benefit brokers, employers, and internet customers. Online Benefits licensing revenue from benefit brokers and employers accounted for $3,353,000 of the total $3,577,000 increase in licensing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Excluding the results of Online Benefits, licensing revenue increased 10.6%, or $224,000, to $2,346,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $2,122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This organic growth was from increased revenue in healthcare, technology and internet customers. Licensing revenue increased by $88,000, $83,000, and $80,000 in technology, internet, and healthcare, respectively as a result of new customer contracts. As a percent of total revenues, revenues from licensing were 83.4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 85.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Revenues from product sales increased 58.5%, or $138,000, to $374,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Product revenues are A.D.A.M. only. The product revenues consist primarily of product sales to the educational market. The increase in 2007 was attributable to increased volume from our distribution partners both domestic and international as well as orders from new customer contracts. As a percent of total revenues, revenues from product sales were 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 9.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

nonrecurring products such as books, subscriptions, and images. Online Benefits and its related administrative service provider business accounted for $381,000 of the total revenue for professional services and other. Excluding Online Benefits, the professional services and other revenues accounted for approximately 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 5.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Cost of revenues increased $1,030,000, or 342.2%, to $1,331,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Cost of revenues consists primarily of royalties and distribution license fees, production costs for product sales, and personnel support for our benefit and broker management products. Online Benefits’ cost of revenues accounted for $1,330,000 of the total cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Excluding the results of Online Benefits, cost of revenues increased 8.3% or $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to the increased revenues and the related costs on royalties and education products. As a percent of total revenues, cost of revenues, excluding Online Benefits, was 11.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 12.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Cost of revenues – amortization increased $127,000, or 67.6%, to $315,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cost of revenues – amortization consists primarily of costs associated with amortization of capitalized customer lists, software product, and content development costs. Online Benefits’ cost of revenues – amortization related to amortization of acquired customer lists and software product was $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Excluding the results of Online Benefits, cost of revenues – amortization decreased $61,000, or 32.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease is related to capital projects in 2006 that became fully amortized along with major projects in 2006 that are scheduled to be released in 2007. As a percent of total revenues, cost of revenues – amortization, excluding Online Benefits, was 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Product and content development expenses increased $792,000, or 220.0%, to $1,152,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $360,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Online Benefits. Online Benefits incurred product and development costs of $527,000. The remaining $265,000 increase is primarily attributable to $105,000 of additional salary and related costs that will be used to enhance and develop new products and $139,000 of allocated support related costs for product and content development. As a percent of total revenues, product and content development expenses, excluding Online Benefits, were 22.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 14.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $692,000, or 159.1%, to $1,127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $435,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Online Benefits accounted for $625,000 of the total sales and marketing expense. The remaining $67,000 increase relates to allocated support related costs for the sales and marketing departments. As a percent of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses, excluding Online Benefits, were 17.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 17.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

General and administrative expenses increased $873,000, or 146.2%, to $1,470,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $597,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Online Benefits’ general and administrative expenses accounted for $425,000 of this increase. The remaining increase was primarily related to an increase in our stock-based compensation expense of $293,000, increased salaries and compensation of $177,000, and an increase in our bad debt provision of $39,000. As a percent of total revenues, general and administrative expenses, excluding Online Benefits, were 37.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased $550,000 to $1,151,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to an operating profit of $601,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Other Expenses and Income

Interest expense was $693,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher borrowing levels on loans secured to finance the acquisition of Online Benefits.

Interest income was $12,000 and $130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to higher levels of cash investments for the first eight months of 2006 compared to 2007. This decrease in cash was attributable to the cash used in the purchase of Online Benefits.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased $262,000 to $466,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to net income of $728,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,700,000 and working capital of $2,978,000.

Cash provided by operating activities was $115,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to cash provided of $1,070,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This $955,000 decrease was due primarily to an increase in deferred revenue of $1,022,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to payments of severance, bonuses, and accrued interest of $926,000 in 2007. These decreases were partially offset by the increases in net income (net of non-cash related add-backs such as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense) of $330,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $1,494,000.

Cash provided by investing activities was $2,719,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to cash provided of $1,053,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase in cash inflow was primarily due the change in Restricted Cash related to the payment of the Online Benefits note payable.

Cash used in financing activities was $3,516,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to cash provided of $452,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in cash inflow was primarily due to the payment of the Online Benefits note payable of $1,500,000 and the payment of long term debt of $2,000,000.

We also use working capital to finance ongoing operations, fund the development and introduction of new business strategies and internally developed software, acquire complementary businesses and acquire capital equipment.

Additional information regarding contracts, commitments, and debt that affect our liquidity and capital resources is provided in Note 4 (Debt) and Note 9 (Commitments and Contingencies) to the unaudited financial statements included in this report.

We believe our cash resources from cash, short-term investments, $2 million revolver with our lender, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. However, we may be required to raise additional funds to accelerate development of new and existing services and products, to respond to competitive pressures or to possibly acquire complementary products, businesses or technologies. There can be no assurance that any required additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, our shareholders would experience dilution of their ownership interest and these securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of the common stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt securities, we may be subject to certain limitations on our operations, including limitations on the payment of dividends. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services and products or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this report, the words “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding future events and developments and our future performance, as well as our expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. Examples of such statements in this report include descriptions of our plans and strategies with respect to developing certain market opportunities, our overall business plan, our plans to develop additional strategic partnerships, our intention to develop certain platform technologies and our continuing growth. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from those projected.

These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to risk and related changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt (Note 4 – Debt) and our investment portfolio (Note 5 – Investments). As of March 31, 2007, we had $5,700,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $45,000 in restricted time deposits. Due to the conservative and short-term nature of our investment portfolio, we believe that even a sudden 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the value of the portfolio. The average yield on our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2007, was approximately 5.70%. The impact on our future interest income depends largely on the gross amount of our investment portfolio. We do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates.

As of March 31, 2007, we had a total of $23 million in variable rate debt at differing interest rates tied to LIBOR. If the interest rates on our existing variable rate debt were to increase by 10% over the next 12 months we would incur $2,300,000 of additional interest expense over a 12-month period and would potentially be in default of the long-term debt covenants.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
