REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
Management of HLTH Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by its board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  •  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
HLTH management assessed the effectiveness of HLTH’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, HLTH management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment and those criteria, HLTH management concluded that HLTH maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.
 
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited and reported on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, as stated in their report which appears on page F-3.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
HLTH Corporation
 
We have audited HLTH Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). HLTH Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, HLTH Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2007 consolidated financial statements of HLTH Corporation and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
HLTH Corporation
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HLTH Corporation (and subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 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.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HLTH Corporation (and subsidiaries) at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” using the modified prospective transition method. Also, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.”
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), HLTH Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
 
1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Background
 
HLTH Corporation (“HLTH” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in December 1995 and commenced operations in January 1996 as Healtheon Corporation. HLTH’s Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “HLTH” on February 11, 1999 and now trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Company changed its name to Healtheon/WebMD Corporation in November 1999 and to WebMD Corporation in September 2000. In October 2005, WebMD Corporation changed its name to Emdeon Corporation in connection with the initial public offering of equity securities of WebMD Health Corp. (“WHC”). In connection with the November 2006 sale of a 52% interest in the Company’s Emdeon Business Services segment, the Company transferred its rights to the name “Emdeon” and related intellectual property to Emdeon Business Services. Accordingly, in May 2007, the Company changed its name to HLTH Corporation.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of HLTH Corporation and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in United States dollars, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated accounts include 100% of the assets and liabilities of the majority-owned WHC and the ownership interests of minority stockholders of WHC are recorded as minority interest in WHC in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes are for the same periods as the consolidated financial statements that were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2008 (the “2007 Form 10-K”), however, they reflect the reclassification of its ViPS and Porex segments to discontinued operations (as described in Note 2) and reflect the reclassification of segment information for WebMD into two WebMD segments (as described in Note 9). In connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that WHC intends to file relating to the proposed merger of the Company and WHC, the reclassifications described above are required with respect to the previously issued financial statements included in the 2007 Form 10-K. While the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the reclassifications described above, they do not reflect any other events occurring after the filing of the 2007 Form 10-K on February 29, 2008. Other events occurring after that date have been disclosed in other public filings made by the Company including various Current Reports on Form 8-K and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008.
 
On September 14, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Emdeon Practice Services (“EPS”) segment to Sage Software, Inc. (the “EPS Sale”). Accordingly, the historical results of EPS, including the gain related to the sale, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for a further description of this transaction.
 
On November 16, 2006, the Company completed the sale of a 52% interest in its Emdeon Business Services segment, excluding the ViPS business unit (“EBS”) to an affiliate of General Atlantic LLC (the “2006 EBS Sale”). The Company’s remaining 48% ownership interest in EBS is being accounted for under the equity method since the transaction date. Additionally, in February 2008, the Company sold its remaining 48% ownership in EBS. See Notes 3 and 23 for further descriptions of these transactions.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company, through WHC, entered into an Asset Sale Agreement and completed the sale of certain assets and certain liabilities of its medical reference publications business, including the publications ACP Medicine and ACS Surgery: Principles and Practice (“ACS/ACP Business”), to Decker Intellectual Properties Inc. and BC Decker Inc. Accordingly, the historical financial information of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
the ACS/ACP Business, including the gain related to the sale, has been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for a further description of this transaction.
 
Business
 
As a result of the Company’s intention to divest its ViPS and Porex segments, the Company’s only remaining operating segments are WebMD Online Services and WebMD Publishing and Other Services (the “WebMD Segments”). Additionally, until the 2006 EBS Sale, EBS also represented an operating segment. These segments and the Company’s Corporate segment are described as follows:
 
  •  WebMD Online Services.  WebMD provides health information services to consumers, physicians, healthcare professionals, employees and health plans through its public and private online portals. WebMD’s public portals for consumers enable them to obtain detailed information on a particular disease or condition, check symptoms, locate physicians, store individual healthcare information, receive periodic e-newsletters on topics of individual interest, enroll in interactive courses and participate in online communities with peers and experts. WebMD’s public portals for physicians and healthcare professionals make it easier for them to access clinical reference sources, stay abreast of the latest clinical information, learn about new treatment options, earn continuing medical education (“CME”) credit and communicate with peers. WebMD’s private portals enable employers and health plans to provide their employees and plan members with access to personalized health and benefit information and decision-support technology that helps them make more informed benefit, provider and treatment choices. WebMD provides related services for use by such employees and members, including lifestyle education and personalized telephonic health coaching as a result of the acquisition of Summex Corporation on June 13, 2006. WebMD also provides e-detailing promotion and physician recruitment services for use by pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare companies as a result of the acquisition of Medsite, Inc. on September 11, 2006.
 
  •  WebMD Publishing and Other Services.  WebMD publishes The Little Blue Book, a physician directory; and, since 2005, WebMD the Magazine, a consumer magazine distributed to physician office waiting rooms. WebMD also conducted in-person CME through December 31, 2006, as a result of the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis Technologies, Inc. in December 2005. WebMD also published medical reference textbooks until it divested this business on December 31, 2007. See Note 2 for further details.
 
  •  Corporate includes personnel costs and other expenses related to functions that are not directly managed by one of the Company’s segments or by the Porex and ViPS businesses included in discontinued operations. The personnel costs include executive personnel, legal, accounting, tax, internal audit, risk management, human resources and certain information technology functions. Other corporate costs and expenses include professional fees including legal and audit services, insurance, costs of leased property and facilities, telecommunication costs and software maintenance expenses. Corporate expenses are net of $3,340, $3,190 and $5,117 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which are costs allocated to WebMD for services provided by the Corporate segment. In connection with the 2006 EBS Sale and EPS Sale, the Company entered into transition services agreements whereby the Company provided Sage Software and EBSCo certain administrative services, including payroll, accounting, purchasing and procurement, tax, and human resource services, as well as information technology support. Additionally, EBSCo provided certain administrative services to the Company. See Note 2 and Note 3. These services were provided through the Corporate segment, and the related transition services fees that the Company charged to EBSCo and Sage Software, net of the fee the Company paid to EBSCo, were also included in the Corporate segment, which approximates the cost of providing these services.
 
  •  Emdeon Business Services provides solutions that automate key business and administrative functions for healthcare payers and providers, including electronic patient eligibility and benefit verification;


F-11


 

 
HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
  electronic and paper claims processing; electronic and paper paid-claims communication services; and patient billing, payment and communications services. In addition, EBS provides clinical communications services that improve the delivery of healthcare by enabling physicians to manage laboratory orders and results, hospital reports and electronic prescriptions. As a result of the 2006 EBS Sale, beginning November 17, 2006, the results of EBS are no longer included in the segment results. See Note 3.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The results of operations for companies acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. The Company has made certain reclassifications to the consolidated financial statements to provide comparative financial information for segments reflected as discontinued operations. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to consider in order to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect: the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of prepaid advertising, the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the amortization period of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill), the carrying value, capitalization and amortization of software and Web site development costs, the carrying value of short-term and long-term investments, the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued expenses, revenue recognition, contingencies, litigation and related legal accruals and the value attributed to employee stock options and other stock-based awards.
 
Seasonality
 
The timing of the Company’s revenue is affected by seasonal factors. WebMD’s advertising and sponsorship revenue is seasonal, primarily as a result of the annual budget approval process of the advertising and sponsorship clients of the public portals. This portion of revenue is usually the lowest in the first quarter of each calendar year, and increases during each consecutive quarter throughout the year. WebMD’s private portal licensing revenue is historically highest in the second half of the year as new customers are typically added during this period in conjunction with their annual open enrollment periods for employee benefits. Additionally, the annual distribution cycle for certain publishing products results in a significant portion of WebMD’s publishing revenue being recognized in the second and third quarter of each calendar year.

Minority Interest
 
Minority interest represents the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of equity and net income of WHC. Additionally, minority interest includes the non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and other stock awards based on WHC Class A Common Stock that have been expensed since the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “(Revised 2004): Share-Based Payment” on January 1, 2006, and to a much lesser extent, the expense associated with these awards that were expensed in connection with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) prior to January 1, 2006. Additionally, as of December 31, 2006, minority interest includes the value of committed, but unissued WHC equity, in connection with the December 2006 Subimo acquisition. The minority stockholders’ proportionate share of the equity in WHC of $131,353 and $101,860, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is reflected as minority interest in WHC in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The minority stockholders’ proportionate share of net income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $10,667, $405 and $775, respectively, and is reflected as minority interest in WHC in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
Sale of Stock by a Subsidiary
 
The Company accounts for the sale of stock by a subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 51, “Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary” (“SAB 51”), which requires that the difference between the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in a subsidiary and the underlying net book value of the subsidiary after the issuance of stock by the subsidiary be reflected as either a gain or loss in the statement of operations or reflected as an equity transaction. The Company has elected to record gains or losses resulting from the sale of a subsidiary’s stock as equity transactions. The Company does not record any deferred taxes related to the SAB 51 gains associated with WHC, as it has under current federal tax rules and regulations, the ability to recover its investment in WHC on a tax free basis. On February 20, 2008, the Company and WHC entered into a Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will merge into WHC. For federal income tax purposes, the merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generally invested in various money market accounts.
 
Marketable Securities
 
The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classifications at each balance sheet date. The Company does not invest in trading securities. Debt securities in which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity; otherwise they are classified as available-for-sale. Investments in marketable equity securities are also classified as available-for-sale.
 
Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value as of each balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses associated with available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other-than-temporary are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. A decline in value of a debt security is deemed to be other-than-temporary if the Company does not have the intent and ability to retain the investment until any anticipated recovery in market value. The cost of securities is based on the specific identification method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Equity Investment in EBS Master LLC
 
The Company accounts for its investment in EBS Master LLC in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”), which stipulates that the equity method should be used to account for investments whereby an investor has “the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee,” but does not exercise control. APB 18 generally considers an investor to have the ability to exercise significant influence when it owns 20% or more of the voting stock of an investee.
 
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its investments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline. A decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, but not limited to, if the Company does not have the intent and ability to retain the investment until any anticipated recovery in carrying amount of the investment, inability of the investment to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount or the current fair value of the investment is less than its carrying amount.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects the Company’s best estimate of losses inherent in the Company’s receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available evidence.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives are generally as follows:
 
     
Computer equipment
  3 to 5 years
Office equipment, furniture, fixtures and other
  3 to 7 years
Software
  3 to 5 years
Web site development costs
  3 years
Leasehold improvements
  Shorter of useful life or lease term
 
Expenditures for maintenance, repair and renewals of minor items are charged to expense as incurred. Major betterments are capitalized.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and intangible assets result from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill is subject to impairment review by applying a fair value based test. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the individually estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
 
     
Content
  2 to 5 years
Customer relationships
  2 to 12 years
Acquired technology and patents
  3 years
Trade names
  3 to 10 years

HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Recoverability
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill annually and whenever indicators of impairment are present. The Company measures impairment losses by comparing the carrying value of its reporting units to the fair value of its reporting units determined using an income approach valuation. The Company’s reporting units are determined in accordance with SFAS 142, which defines a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.
 
Software Development Costs
 
Internal Use Software
 
The Company accounts for internal use software development costs in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”). Software development costs that are incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Once certain criteria of SOP 98-1 have been met, internal and external direct costs incurred in developing or obtaining computer software are capitalized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as property and equipment. Training and data conversion costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are depreciated over a three-year period. The Company capitalized $5,423 and $18,391 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Depreciation expense related to internal use software was $3,492, $7,307 and $7,122 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Web Site Development Costs
 
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-2, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs,” costs related to the planning and post implementation phases of the Company’s Web site development efforts, as well as minor enhancements and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized. The Company capitalized $7,980 and $12,187 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These capitalized costs are included in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over a three-year period. Depreciation expense related to Web site development costs was $4,501 and $446 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There was no depreciation expense related to Web site development costs during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Restricted Cash
 
The Company’s restricted cash primarily relates to collateral for letters of credit obtained to support the Company’s operations. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total restricted cash was $15,093 and $16,260, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Deferred Charges
 
Other assets includes costs associated with the issuance of the convertible notes that are amortized to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, using the effective interest method over the period from issuance through the earliest date on which holders can demand redemption. The Company capitalized $10,731 of issuance costs in connection with the issuance of the $300,00031/8% Convertible Notes due 2025 and $10,354 of issuance costs in connection with the issuance of the $350,000 1.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total unamortized issuance costs for all outstanding convertible notes were $11,192 and $14,108, respectively.
 
Leases
 
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, including predetermined fixed escalations, over the initial lease term including reasonably assured renewal periods, net of lease incentives, from the time that the Company controls the leased property. Leasehold improvements made at the inception of the lease are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Lease incentives are recorded as a deferred credit and recognized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term as described above.
 
Revenue
 
Recognition
 
Revenue is derived from the Company’s WebMD Segments and was derived from the Company’s EBS segment until the date of its sale on November 16, 2006.
 
  •  WebMD Online Services.  The Company generates revenue from its public portals through the sale of advertising and sponsorship products. The Company generates revenue from private portals through the licensing of its content and technology to employers, payers and others. The Company also distributes its online content and services to other entities and generates revenue from these arrangements from the sale of advertising and sponsorship products and from content syndication fees.
 
  •  WebMD Publishing and Other Services.  The Company generates revenue from sales of The Little Blue Book physician directory and from sales of advertisements in those directories and WebMD the Magazine. As a result of the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis Technologies, Inc. in December 2005, the Company also generated revenue from in-person CME programs in 2006. As of December 31, 2006, these services were no longer offered by the Company.
 
Through the WebMD Segments, the Company generates revenue from advertising which is recognized as advertisements are delivered or as publications are distributed. Revenue from sponsorship arrangements, content syndication and distribution arrangements and licenses of healthcare management tools and private portals as well as related health coaching services are recognized ratably over the term of the applicable agreement. Revenue from the sponsorship of CME is recognized over the period the Company substantially completes its contractual deliverables as determined by the applicable agreements. When contractual arrangements contain multiple elements, revenue is allocated to each element based on its relative fair value determined using prices charged when elements are sold separately. In certain instances where fair value does not exist for all the elements, the amount of revenue allocated to the delivered elements equals the total consideration less the fair value of the undelivered elements. In instances where fair value does not exist for the undelivered elements, revenue is recognized when the last element is delivered.
 
Through the date of the 2006 EBS Sale on November 16, 2006, the Company generated revenue by selling transaction services to healthcare payers and providers, generally on either a per transaction basis or, in the case of some providers, on a monthly fixed fee basis. The Company also generated revenue through EBS

by selling its document conversion, patient statement and paid-claims communication services, typically on a per document, per statement or per communication basis. Revenue for transaction services, patient statement and paid-claims communication services was recognized as the services were provided. EBS generally charged a one-time implementation fee to healthcare payers and providers at the inception of a contract, in connection with their related setup to submit and receive medical claims and other related transactions through EBS’s clearinghouse network. The implementation fees were deferred and amortized to revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract period of the related transaction processing services, which generally vary from one to three years.
 
Cash receipts or billings in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue is reversed at the time revenue is recognized.
 
Sales, Use and Value Added Tax
 
The Company excludes sales, use and value added tax from revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred and included in sales, marketing, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense totaled $15,714, $18,825 and $18,862 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in advertising expense were non-cash advertising costs of $5,264, $7,414 and $10,534 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These non-cash advertising costs resulted from the issuance of the Company’s equity securities in connection with past advertising agreements with certain service providers. The values of the equity securities issued were capitalized and are being amortized as the advertisements are broadcast or over the term of the underlying agreement. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the current portion of unamortized prepaid advertising costs was $2,329 and $2,656, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the long-term portion of unamortized prepaid advertising costs was $4,521 and $9,459, respectively, and is included in other assets.
 
Foreign Currency
 
The financial statements and transactions of the Company’s foreign facilities are generally maintained in their local currency. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” the translation of foreign currencies into United States dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average exchange rates during the year. The gains or losses resulting from translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income and were not material in any of the periods presented. The Company’s foreign operations, which are part of the Company’s Porex segment, are included in discontinued operations.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
None of the Company’s customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2007, 2006 or 2005 or more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005, The Company’s revenue is principally generated in the United States. An adverse change in economic conditions in the United States could negatively affect the Company’s revenue and results of operations. Due to the acquisition of Conceptis Technologies, Inc., the Company recorded revenue from foreign customers of $3,660, $3,475 and $405 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequence of differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities at each reporting period. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Tax contingencies are recorded to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged by tax authorities. These potential exposures result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. The Company’s estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions.
 
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Consistent with its historical financial reporting, the Company has elected to reflect interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Upon adoption, the Company reduced its existing reserves for uncertain income tax positions by $1,475, primarily related to a reduction in state income tax matters. This reduction was recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company reduced $5,213 of a deferred tax asset and its associated valuation allowance upon adoption of FIN 48.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, “(Revised 2004): Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method and as a result, prior period results were not restated. Under the modified prospective transition method, awards that were granted or modified on or after January 1, 2006 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. Unvested stock options and restricted stock awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123, using the same grant date fair value and same expense attribution method used under SFAS 123, except that all awards are recognized in the results of operations over the remaining vesting periods. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized for all stock-based compensation beginning January 1, 2006.
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, and related interpretations. In accordance with APB 25, the Company did not recognize stock-based compensation cost with respect to stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. As a result, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense was generally limited to the expense related to restricted stock awards and stock option modifications, as well as the amortization of deferred compensation related to certain acquisitions in 2000. Additionally, all restricted stock awards and stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006 had graded vesting, and the Company valued these awards and recognized actual and pro-forma expense, with respect to restricted stock awards and stock options, as if each vesting portion of the award was a separate award. This resulted in an accelerated attribution of compensation expense over the vesting period. As permitted under SFAS 123R, the Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
began using a straight-line attribution method beginning January 1, 2006 for all stock options and restricted stock awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, but will continue to apply the accelerated attribution method for the remaining unvested portion of any awards granted prior to January 1, 2006.
 
Net Income Per Common Share
 
Basic income (loss) per common share and diluted income (loss) per common share are presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). In accordance with SFAS 128, basic income (loss) per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to give effect to the participating rights of the convertible redeemable exchangeable preferred stock. Diluted income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to give effect to potentially dilutive securities and assumes that any dilutive convertible notes were converted, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Additionally, for purposes of calculating diluted income (loss) per common share of the Company, the numerator has been adjusted to consider the effect of potentially dilutive securities of WHC, which can dilute the portion of WHC’s net income otherwise retained by the Company. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share (shares in thousands):

Discontinued Operations
 
The Company accounts for discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144. Under SFAS 144, the operating results of a business unit are reported as discontinued if its operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the business, the operations have been sold or will be sold within a year, there will be no continuing involvement in the operation after the disposal date and certain other criteria are met. Significant judgments are involved in determining whether a business component meets the criteria for discontinued operation reporting and the period in which these criteria are met.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), a replacement of FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and applies to all business combinations. SFAS 141R provides that, upon initially obtaining control, an acquirer shall recognize 100 percent of the fair values of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities, with only limited exceptions, even if the acquirer has not acquired 100 percent of its target. As a consequence, the current step acquisition model will be eliminated. Additionally, SFAS 141R changes current practice, in part, as follows: (1) contingent consideration arrangements will be fair valued at the acquisition date and included on that basis in the purchase price consideration; (2) transaction costs will be expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized as part of the purchase price; (3) pre-acquisition contingencies, such as legal issues, will generally have to be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value; and (4) in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting, the requirements in FASB Statement No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” would have to be met at the acquisition date. While there is no expected impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the accounting for acquisitions completed prior to December 31, 2008, the adoption of SFAS 141R on January 1, 2009 could materially change the accounting for business combinations consummated subsequent to that date.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51,” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the results of operations. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is applied. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of SFAS 115” (“SFAS 159”), which permits but does not require us to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As the Company does not expect to elect to fair value any of our financial instruments under the provisions of SFAS 159, the adoption of this statement is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 6, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-b (“FSP 157-b”) which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS 157 and FSP 157-b are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has elected a partial deferral of SFAS 157 under the provisions of FSP 157-b related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit or disposal activities. The impact of partially adopting SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
 
2.   Discontinued Operations
 
ViPS and Porex
 
In November 2007, the Company announced its intention to propose a transaction that would allow HLTH’s stockholders to participate more directly in the ownership of WHC stock. Also at that time, the Company announced its intention to explore potential sales transactions for its ViPS and Porex businesses, as the cash proceeds from the potential sales of ViPS and Porex would partially fund the cash necessary to consummate the potential transaction with WHC.
 
In February 2008, the Company announced the WHC Merger (as defined in Note 23) and its intention to divest the ViPS and Porex segments. These divestitures are not dependent on the WHC Merger and do not require shareholder approval. The Company expects the disposal of these entities will be completed within one year. As a result of the Company’s intention to divest the ViPS and Porex segments, the financial information of these businesses has been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

EPS
 
In February 2006, the Company announced that, in connection with inquiries received from several third parties expressing an interest in acquiring EPS and EBS, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized commencing a process to evaluate strategic alternatives relating to EPS and EBS. For information regarding the sale transaction involving EBS, see Note 3.
 
On August 8, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for the sale of EPS to Sage Software, Inc. (“Sage Software”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Sage Group plc. On September 14, 2006, the Company completed the sale of Emdeon Practice Services, Inc., which together with its subsidiaries comprised EPS (the “EPS Sale”). Accordingly, the historical financial information of EPS has been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company and Sage Software made an IRC Section 338(h)(10) election and treated the EPS Sale as a sale of assets for tax purposes. The Company received cash proceeds of $532,991, net of professional fees and other expenses associated with the EPS Sale. These cash proceeds include the receipt of $11,667 that was released from escrow in September 2007, but does not include $23,333 being held in escrow as security for the Company’s indemnification obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The amount in escrow is scheduled to be released in March 2008, subject to pending and paid claims, if any, and is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007. In connection with the EPS Sale, the Company recognized a gain of $353,158, which is included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax of $33,037, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
In connection with the EPS Sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with EPS whereby it provided EPS with certain administrative services, including payroll, accounting, purchasing and procurement, tax and human resource services, as well as IT support. The transition services agreement terminated on December 31, 2007 and the fee charged to EPS for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from September 15, 2006 to December 31, 2006 was $3,894 and $2,099, respectively. The fee is included in the Company’s Corporate segment, and within other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
In connection with the EPS Sale, EPS agreed to continue its strategic relationship with WebMD and to integrate WebMD’s personal health record with the clinical products, including the electronic medical record, of EPS to allow import of data from one to the other, subject to applicable law and privacy and security requirements.
 
The Company has certain indemnity obligations to advance amounts for reasonable defense costs for initially ten and now nine former officers and directors of EPS, who were indicted in connection with the previously disclosed investigation by the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina (the “Investigation”), which is more fully described in Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies.” In connection

with the sale of EPS, the Company agreed to indemnify Sage Software relating to these indemnity obligations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, based on information it had recently received at that time, the Company determined a reasonable estimate of the range of probable costs with respect to its indemnification obligation and accordingly, recorded a pre-tax charge of $57,774, which represented the Company’s estimate of the low end of the probable range of costs related to this matter. The Company had reserved the low end of the probable range of costs because no estimate within the range was a better estimate than any other amount. That estimate included assumptions as to the duration of the trial and pre-trial periods, and the defense costs to be incurred during these periods. During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company updated the estimate of the range of its indemnification obligation, and as a result, recorded an additional pre-tax charge of $15,573, which reflects the increase in the low end of the probable range of costs related to this matter. As of December 31, 2007, the probable range of future costs with respect to this matter is approximately $46,600 to $70,500. The increase in this estimate is primarily due to a delay in the expected trial date and an increase in the estimated costs during the pre-trial period. The ultimate outcome of this matter is still uncertain, and accordingly, the amount of cost the Company may ultimately incur could be substantially more than the reserve the Company has currently provided. If the recorded reserves are insufficient to cover the ultimate cost of this matter, the Company will need to record additional charges to its consolidated statement of operations in future periods. The remaining accrual related to this obligation is $55,563 and is reflected as liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.
 
Also included in loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 is stock-based compensation expense from the Company’s equity held by EPS employees, offset by a reduction of certain sales and use tax contingencies, which were indemnified by the Company for Sage Software, resulting from the expiration of statutes.
 
Summarized operating results for the discontinued operations of EPS through September 14, 2006, the indemnification obligation and the gain recorded on disposal were as follows:
 
                         
    Years Ended December 31,

Sale of Interest in Emdeon Business Services
 
On November 16, 2006, the Company completed the sale of a 52% interest in EBS to an affiliate of General Atlantic LLC (“GA”). The 2006 EBS Sale was structured so that the Company and GA each own interests in a limited liability company, EBS Master LLC (“EBSCo”), which owns the entities comprising EBS through a wholly owned limited liability company, Emdeon Business Services LLC. The Company received gross cash proceeds of approximately $1,209,000 at closing, and received $11,099 subsequent to December 31, 2006 in connection with the working capital adjustment. Additionally, the Company advanced cash of $10,000 to EBSCo at closing, to support general working capital needs, and paid $10,016 of expenses on EBSCo’s behalf through December 31, 2006. These amounts are included in due from EBS Master LLC in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and were repaid in full subsequent to December 31, 2006. The acquisition was financed with approximately $925,000 in bank debt and an investment of approximately $320,000 by GA. The bank debt is an obligation of Emdeon Business Services

LLC and is guaranteed by EBSCo, but is not an obligation of or guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the 2006 EBS Sale, the Company recognized a gain of $352,297, which considers approximately $16,103 of professional fees and other expenses associated with the 2006 EBS Sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized a gain of $399 which relates to the finalization of the working capital adjustment.
 
In connection with the 2006 EBS Sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement whereby it provided EBSCo with certain administrative services, including payroll, accounting, tax, treasury, contract and litigation support, real estate vendor management and human resource services, as well as IT support. Additionally, EBSCo provided certain administrative services to the Company, including telecommunication infrastructure and management services, data center support, purchasing and procurement and certain other services. Some of the services provided by EBSCo to HLTH were, in turn, used to fulfill HLTH’s obligation to provide transition services to EPS. The transition services agreement terminated on December 31, 2007 and the fee charged to EBSCo of $3,009 and $610 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from November 17, 2006 to December 31, 2006; net of the amount charged to the Company of $1,070 and $185, respectively, is included in the Company’s Corporate segment, and within other income (expense), net in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
In connection with the 2006 EBS Sale, EBSCo agreed to continue its strategic relationship with WebMD and to market WebMD’s online decision-support platform and tools that support consumer directed health plans and health savings accounts to its payer customers for integration into their consumer directed health plan offerings. In addition, EBSCo agreed to license certain de-identified data to HLTH and its subsidiaries, including WebMD, for use in the development and commercialization of certain applications that use clinical information, including consumer decision-support applications.
 
Equity Investment in EBSCo
 
The Company’s 48% ownership interest in EBSCo is reflected as an investment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, accounted for under the equity method. The 48% equity interest is $25,261 at December 31, 2007, which results in a difference of $119,987 in the carrying value and the underlying equity in the investment. This difference is principally due to the excess of the fair value of EBSCo’s net assets as adjusted for in purchase accounting, over the carryover basis of the Company’s investment in EBSCo. The Company’s share of EBSCo’s net earnings after the date of sale is reported as equity in earnings of EBS Master LLC in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On February 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and simultaneously completed the sale of its 48% minority ownership interest in EBSCo for $575,000 in cash to an affiliate of GA and affiliates of Hellman & Friedman, LLC. See Note 23 for a further description of this transaction.
 
The following is summarized financial information of EBSCo for the year ended December 31, 2007, for the period from November 17, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:

In September 2005, the Company contributed to WHC the subsidiaries, the assets and the liabilities included in the Company’s WebMD segment. On September 28, 2005, WHC sold, in an initial public offering, 7,935,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock at $17.50 per share. This resulted in proceeds of approximately $129,142, net of underwriting discounts of $9,721, which was retained by WHC to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Company owned, on December 31, 2007 and 2006, the 48,100,000 shares of WHC Class B Common Stock that it owned at the time of the initial public offering, representing ownership of 84.1% and 85.2%, respectively, of the outstanding WHC Common Stock. WHC Class A Common Stock has one vote per share, while WHC Class B Common Stock has five votes per share. As a result, the WHC Class B Common Stock owned by the Company represented, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 96.2% and 96.5%, respectively, of the combined voting power of WHC’s outstanding Common Stock. Each share of WHC Class B Common Stock is convertible at the Company’s option into one share of WHC Class A Common Stock. In addition, shares of WHC Class B Common Stock will automatically be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of WHC Class A Common Stock on a transfer to any person other than a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company or a successor of the Company.

Relationships between the Company and WHC
 
The Company entered into a number of agreements with WHC governing the future relationship of the companies, including a Services Agreement, a Tax Sharing Agreement and an Indemnity Agreement. These agreements cover a variety of matters, including responsibility for certain liabilities, including tax liabilities, as well as matters related to providing WHC with administrative services, such as payroll, accounting, tax, employee benefit plan, employee insurance, intellectual property, legal and information processing services. Under the Services Agreement, the Company will receive an amount that reasonably approximates its cost of providing services to WHC. The Company has agreed to make the services available to WHC for up to five years; however, WHC is not required, under the Services Agreement, to continue to obtain services from the Company and is able to terminate services, in whole or in part, at any time generally by providing, with respect to the specified services or groups of services, 60 days’ prior notice and, in some cases, paying a nominal termination fee to cover costs relating to the termination. On January 31, 2006, the Company entered into additional agreements with WHC in which both parties agreed to support each other’s product development and marketing efforts of specific product lines for agreed upon fees, as defined in the agreements. These agreements were amended, in connection with the EPS Sale and 2006 EBS Sale, to separate the provisions applicable to each of HLTH, EPS and EBS and to make certain modifications in the relationships between WebMD and each of those parties. In amended agreements with WebMD, EPS agreed to continue its strategic relationship with WebMD and to integrate WebMD’s personal health record with the clinical products of EPS, including the electronic medical record, to allow import of data from one to the other, subject to applicable law and privacy and security requirements. In amended agreements with WebMD, EBS agreed to continue its strategic relationship with WebMD and to market WebMD’s online decision-support platform and tools that support consumer directed health plans and health savings accounts to its payer customers for integration into their consumer directed health offerings. In addition, EBS agreed to license certain de-identified data to HLTH and its subsidiaries, including WebMD, for use in the development and commercialization of certain applications that use clinical information, including consumer decision-support applications.
 
On February 15, 2006, the Company amended the Tax Sharing Agreement with WHC. Under the amended Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse WHC, at the current federal statutory tax rate of 35%, for net operating loss carryforwards attributable to WHC that are utilized by the Company as a result of certain types of extraordinary transactions, as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement, which includes the EPS Sale and 2006 EBS Sale. During 2007, the Company reimbursed WHC $149,682 as the payment required pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to the EPS Sale and the 2006 EBS Sale. The total cash reimbursement resulted in an increase to minority interest and a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $23,930, reflecting the portion of the aggregate reimbursement of $149,862 that related to the minority interest shareholders.
 
Gain Upon Sale of WHC Class A Common Stock
 
In connection with the initial public offering on September 28, 2005, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of WHC Class A Common Stock in the amount of approximately $82,275, which was reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in accordance with SAB 51. As a result of the sale of WHC Class A Common Stock at the time of the initial public offering, the Company’s ownership of WHC was reduced to 85.8%.

Holders of the Preferred Stock had the right to vote, together with the holders of HLTH’s Common Stock on an as converted to common stock basis, on matters that were put to a vote of the common stock holders. The Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock also provided that the Company would not, without the prior approval of holders of 75% of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a separate class, issue any additional shares of the Preferred Stock, or create any other class or series of capital stock that ranks senior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock.

Reclassification of Segment Information.  As a result of the Company’s intention to divest the ViPS and Porex segments and due to the December 31, 2007 sale of WHC’s ACS/ACP business, the financial information for these businesses has been reclassified to discontinued operations for the current and prior year periods. In addition, certain expenses of Porex related to activities that were previously managed by, and therefore reported within, the Corporate segment, were also reclassified to discontinued operations, as these expenses do not relate to the Company’s continuing operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. It also specifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are required to be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. Based on the Company’s analysis, there was no impairment of goodwill in connection with the annual impairment tests that were performed during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Investigations by United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina and the SEC
 
As previously disclosed, the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina is conducting an investigation of the Company, which the Company first learned about on September 3, 2003. Based on the information available to the Company, it believes that the investigation relates principally to issues of financial accounting improprieties relating to Medical Manager Corporation, a predecessor of the Company (by its merger into the Company in September 2000), and, more specifically, its Medical Manager Health Systems, Inc. subsidiary. Medical Manager Health Systems was a predecessor to Emdeon Practice Services, Inc., a subsidiary that the Company sold to Sage Software in September 2006. The Company has been cooperating and intends to continue to cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. As previously reported, the Board of Directors of the Company has formed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to oversee this matter with the sole authority to direct the Company’s response to the allegations that have been raised. As previously disclosed, the Company understands that the SEC is also conducting a formal investigation into this matter. In connection with the EPS Sale, the Company agreed to indemnify Sage Software with respect to this matter.
 
The United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina announced on January 10, 2005, that three former employees of Medical Manager Health Systems each had agreed to plead guilty to one count of mail fraud and that one such employee had agreed to plead guilty to one count of tax evasion for acts committed while they were employed by Medical Manager Health Systems. The three former employees include a Vice President of Medical Manager Health Systems responsible for acquisitions who was terminated for cause in January 2003; an executive who served in various accounting roles at Medical Manager Health Systems until his resignation in March 2002; and a former independent Medical Manager dealer who was a paid consultant

to Medical Manager Health Systems until the termination of his services in 2002. According to the Informations, Plea Agreements and Factual Summaries filed by the United States Attorney in, and available from, the District Court of the United States for the District of South Carolina — Beaufort Division, on January 7, 2005, the three former employees and other then unnamed co-schemers were engaged in schemes between 1997 and 2002 that included causing companies acquired by Medical Manager Health Systems to pay the former vice president in charge of acquisitions and co-schemers kickbacks which were funded through increases in the purchase price paid by Medical Manager Health Systems to the acquired companies and that included fraudulent accounting practices to inflate artificially the quarterly revenues and earnings of Medical Manager Health Systems when it was an independent public company called Medical Manager Corporation from 1997 through 1999, when and after it was acquired by Synetic, Inc. in July 1999 and when and after it became a subsidiary of the Company in September 2000. A fourth former officer of Medical Manager Health Systems pleaded guilty to similar activities later in 2005.
 
The fraudulent accounting practices cited by the government in the January 7, 2005 District Court filings included: causing companies acquired by Medical Manager Health Systems to reclassify previously recognized sales revenue as deferred income so that such deferred income could subsequently be reported as revenue by Medical Manager Health Systems and its parents in later periods; fabricating deferred revenue entries which could be used to inflate earnings when Medical Manager Health Systems acquired companies; causing companies acquired by Medical Manager Health Systems to inflate reserve accounts so that these reserves could be reversed in later reporting periods in order to artificially inflate earnings for Medical Manager Health Systems and its parents; accounting for numerous acquisitions through the pooling of interests method in order to fraudulently inflate Medical Manager Health Systems’ quarterly earnings, when the individuals involved knew the transactions failed to qualify for such treatment; causing companies acquired by Medical Manager Health Systems to enter into sham purchases of software from Medical Manager Health Systems in connection with the acquisition, which purchases were funded by increasing the purchase price paid by Medical Manager Health Systems to the acquired company and using these “round trip” sales to create fraudulent revenue for Medical Manager Health Systems and its parents; and causing Medical Manager Health Systems to book and record sales and training revenue before the revenue process was complete in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and thereby fraudulently inflating Medical Manager Health Systems’ reported revenues and earnings. According to the Informations to which the former employees have pled guilty, the fraudulent accounting practices resulted in the reported revenues of Medical Manager Health Systems and its parents being overstated materially between June 1997 and at least December 31, 2001, and reported quarterly earnings being overstated by at least one cent per share in every quarter during that period.
 
The documents filed by the United States Attorney in January 2005 stated that the former employees engaged in their fraudulent conduct “in concert with senior management,” and “at the direction of senior Medical Manager officers.” In its statement at that time, the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina stated that “the senior management and officers referred to in the Court documents were members of senior management of the Medical Manager subsidiary during the relevant time period.”
 
On December 15, 2005, the United States Attorney announced indictments of the following former officers and employees of Medical Manager Health Systems: Ted W. Dorman, a former Regional Vice President of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until March 2003; Charles L. Hutchinson, a former Controller of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until June 2001; Maxie L. Juzang, a former Vice President of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until August 2005; John H. Kang, a former President of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until May 2001; Frederick B. Karl, Jr., a former General Counsel of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until April 2000; Franklyn B. Krieger, a former Associate General Counsel of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until February 2002; Lee A. Robbins, a former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until September 2000; John P. Sessions, a former President and Chief Operating Officer of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was

employed until September 2003; Michael A. Singer, a former Chief Executive Officer of Medical Manager Health Systems and a former director of the Company, who was most recently employed by the Company as its Executive Vice President, Physician Software Strategies until February 2005; and David Ward, a former Vice President of Medical Manager Health Systems, who was employed until June 2005. The indictment charges the persons listed above with conspiracy to commit mail, wire and securities fraud, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371 and conspiracy to commit money laundering, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1956(h). The indictment charges Messrs. Sessions and Ward with substantive counts of money laundering, violations of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1957. The allegations set forth in the indictment describe activities that are substantially similar to those described above with respect to the January 2005 plea agreements.
 
On February 27, 2007, the United States Attorney filed a Second Superseding Indictment with respect to the former officers and employees of Medical Manager Health Systems charged under the prior Indictment, other than Mr. Juzang. The allegations set forth in the Second Superseding Indictment are substantially similar to those described above.
 
Based on the information it has obtained to date, including that contained in the court documents filed by the United States Attorney in South Carolina, the Company does not believe that any member of its senior management whose duties were not primarily related to the operations of Medical Manager Health Systems during the relevant time periods engaged in any of the violations or improprieties described in those court documents. The Company understands, however, that in light of the nature of the allegations involved, the U.S. Attorney’s office has been investigating all levels of the Company’s management. The Company has not uncovered information that it believes would require a restatement for any of the years covered by its financial statements. In addition, the Company believes that the amounts of the kickback payments referred to in the court documents have already been reflected in the financial statements of the Company to the extent required.
 
The Company has certain indemnity obligations to advance amounts for reasonable defense costs for the initial ten, and now nine former officers and directors of EPS. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $73,347, related to its estimated liability with respect to these indemnity obligations. See Note 2 for a more detailed discussion regarding this charge.
 
Directors & Officers Liability Insurance Coverage Litigation
 
On July 23, 2007, the Company commenced litigation (the “Coverage Litigation”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against ten insurance companies in which the Company is seeking to compel the defendant companies (collectively, the “Defendants”) to honor their obligations under certain directors and officers liability insurance policies (the “Policies”). The Company is seeking an order requiring the Defendants to advance and/or reimburse expenses that the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur for the advancement of the reasonable defense costs of initially ten and now nine former officers and directors of the Company’s former EPS subsidiary who were indicted in connection with the Investigation described above in this Note 12. The Company subsequently has settled with two of the insurance companies during January 2008, through which the Company received an aggregate amount of $14,625. This amount is included within (loss) income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.
 
Pursuant to a stipulation among the parties, the Coverage Litigation was transferred on September 13, 2007 to the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County. The Policies were issued to the Company and to EPS, a former subsidiary of the Company, which is a co-plaintiff with the Company in the Coverage Litigation (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”). EPS was sold in September 2006 to Sage Software and has changed its name to Sage Software Healthcare, Inc. (“SSHI”). In connection with the Company’s sale of


F-41


 

 
HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
EPS to Sage Software, the Company retained certain obligations relating to the Investigation and agreed to indemnify Sage Software and SSHI with respect to certain expenses in connection with the Investigation. The Company retained the right to assert claims and recover proceeds under the Policies on behalf of SSHI.
 
The Policies at issue in the Coverage Litigation consist of two separate groups of insurance policies. Each group of policies consists of several layers of coverage, with different insurers having agreed to provide specified amounts of coverage at various levels. The first group of policies was issued to EPS in the amount of $20,000 (the “EPS Policies”) and the second group of policies was issued to Synetic, Inc. (the former parent of EPS, which merged into the Company) in the amount of $100,000, of which approximately $3,600 was paid by the primary carrier with respect to another unrelated matter (the “Synetic Policies”). To date, $31,000 has been paid by insurance companies representing the EPS Policies and the Synetic Policies through a combination of payment under the terms of the Policies, payment under reservation of rights and settlement. As a result of these payments, the Company has exhausted its coverage under the EPS Policies. Additionally, as of December 31, 2007, $16,414 has been paid under the Synetic Policies and the Company has remaining coverage under such policies of approximately $80,000. The Company’s insurance policies provide that under certain circumstances, amounts advanced by the insurance companies in connection with the defense costs of the indicted individuals, may have to be repaid by the Company, although the $14,625 that the Company has received in settlement from certain carriers is not subject to being repaid. The Company has obtained an undertaking from each indicted individual pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, such individual has agreed to repay defense costs advanced on such individual’s behalf.
 
The carrier with the third level of coverage in the Synetic Policies has filed a motion for summary judgment in the Coverage Litigation, which most of the carriers who have issued the Synetic policies have joined, seeking summary judgment that any liability to pay defense costs should be allocated among the three sets of policies available to the Company (including the policies with respect to which the Coverage Litigation relates and a third set of policies the issuers of which have not been named by the Company) such that the Synetic Policies would only be liable to pay about $23,000 of the $96,400 total coverage available under such policies. The Company believes that such assertion is without merit. The Company is due to file its opposition to the motion by February 29, 2008 together with its motion for summary judgment against such carrier and several other carriers who have issued the Synetic Policies seeking to require such carriers to advance payment of the defense costs that the Company is obligated to pay while the Coverage Litigation is pending. Oral argument with respect to both motions is set for May 5, 2008.
 
The Company believes that the Defendants are required to advance and/or reimburse amounts that the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur for the advancement of the reasonable defense costs of the indicted individuals and as described above several carriers have reimbursed the Company through a combination of payment under the terms of the Policies, payment under reservation of rights and settlement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the Coverage Litigation or that the Defendants will be required to provide funding on an interim basis pending the resolution of the Coverage Litigation. The Company intends to continue to satisfy its legal obligations to the indicted individuals with respect to advancement of amounts for their defense costs.
 
Litigation Regarding Distribution of Shares in Healtheon Initial Public Offering
 
As previously disclosed, seven purported class action lawsuits were filed against Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman Sachs & Co., underwriters of the initial public offering of the Company (then known as Healtheon Corporation) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the summer and fall of 2001. Three of these suits also named the Company and certain of its former officers and directors as defendants. These suits were filed in the wake of reports of governmental investigations of the underwriters’ practices in the distribution of shares in certain initial public offerings. Similar suits were filed in connection with over 300 other initial public offerings that occurred in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The complaints against the Company and its former officers and directors alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 under that Act and Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 because of failure to disclose certain practices alleged to have occurred in connection with the distribution of shares in the Healtheon IPO. Claims under Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 were also brought against the underwriters. These claims were consolidated, along with claims relating to over 300 other initial public offerings, in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs have dismissed the claims against the four former officers and directors of the Company without prejudice, pursuant to Reservation of Rights Tolling Agreements with those individuals. On July 15, 2002, the issuer defendants in the consolidated action, including the Company, filed a joint motion to dismiss the consolidated complaints. On February 18, 2003, the District Court denied, with certain exceptions not relevant to the Company, the issuer defendants’ motion to dismiss.
 
After a lengthy mediation under the auspices of former United States District Judge Nicholas Politan, the issuer defendants in the consolidated action (including the Company), the affected insurance companies, and the plaintiffs reached an agreement on a settlement to resolve the matter among the participating issuer defendants, their insurers, and the plaintiffs. The settlement called for the participating issuers’ insurers jointly to guarantee that plaintiffs recover a certain amount in the IPO litigation and certain related litigation from the underwriters and other non-settling defendants. Accordingly, in the event the guarantee became payable, the agreement called for the Company’s insurance carriers, not the Company, to pay the Company’s pro rata share.
 
The Company, and virtually all of the approximately 260 other issuer defendants who were eligible to participate, elected to participate in the settlement. Although the Company believed that the claims alleged in the lawsuits were primarily directed at the underwriters and, as they relate to the Company, were without merit, the Company believed that the settlement was beneficial to the Company because it would have reduced the time, expense and risks of further litigation, particularly since virtually all the other issuer defendants elected to participate and the Company’s insurance carriers strongly supported the settlement.
 
On June 10, 2004, plaintiffs submitted to the court a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement with Defendant Issuers and Individuals. On February 15, 2005, the court certified the proposed settlement class and preliminarily approved the settlement, subject to certain modifications, to which the parties agreed. On April 24, 2006, the court held a hearing for final approval of the settlement.
 
On December 5, 2006, in response to an appeal by the underwriter defendants, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the district court’s certification of the classes in six related “focus cases” dealing with the offerings of other issuers. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing. In the view of counsel for the issuers and the insurance carriers and the district court, the definition of the proposed settlement class embodied in the settlement was inconsistent with the Second Circuit’s ruling on class certification in the focus cases. Accordingly, the parties to the previously-negotiated settlement agreement terminated the settlement agreement. On June 28, 2007, the court entered a Stipulation and Order terminating the settlement.
 
On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six “focus cases,” in which they proposed a new class definition, and on September 27, 2007, they moved for class certification. Briefing on the amended complaints was completed on January 28, 2008, and briefing on the motion for class certification is underway. At this point, it is impossible to determine whether a class will be certified.
 
Porex Corporation v. Kleanthis Dean Haldopoulos, Benjamin T. Hirokawa and Micropore Plastics, Inc.
 
On September 24, 2005, the Company’s subsidiary Porex Corporation filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County against two former employees of Porex, Dean Haldopoulos and Benjamin Hirokawa, and their corporation, Micropore Plastics, Inc. (“Micropore”), alleging misappropriation of Porex’s trade

secrets and breaches of Haldopoulos’ and Hirokawa’s employment agreements, and seeking monetary and injunctive relief. The lawsuit was subsequently transferred to the Superior Court of DeKalb County, Georgia. On October 24, 2005, the defendants filed an Answer and Counterclaims against Porex. In the Answer and Counterclaims, the defendants allege that Porex breached non-disclosure and standstill agreements in connection with a proposed transaction between Porex and Micropore and engaged in fraud. The defendants also seek punitive damages and expenses of litigation. On February 13, 2006, the Superior Court granted a motion by the defendants for summary judgment with respect to Porex’s trade secret claims, ruling that those claims are barred by the statute of limitations. Porex appealed that ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals and, on March 27, 2007, the Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the ruling of the Superior Court. On April 16, 2007, the defendants filed a petition for certiorari with the Georgia Supreme Court, requesting that the Georgia Supreme Court review and reverse the March 27, 2007 decision of the Court of Appeals. On June 25, 2007, the Georgia Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition for certiorari. On or about July 31, 2007, the Georgia Court of Appeals formally returned the case to the Superior Court for further proceedings, and the parties are proceeding with discovery. Porex is continuing to seek to vigorously enforce its rights in this litigation.
 
Other Legal Proceedings
 
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters, and those discussed above, has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that their outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Leases
 
During 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year and ten-month lease agreement for its WebMD Segments headquarters in New York, New York. In connection with this lease the Company received ten months of rent abatement and a landlord contribution totaling $5,393 in connection with leasehold improvements. The Company recorded $4,854 as a deferred rent credit during 2005 related to this contribution and the remaining $539 during 2006. The balance of this deferred rent credit was $3,941 and $4,439 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. According to the terms of the lease, the Company began making payments in December 2005. Payments will increase approximately 2% per annum with a one-time increase in December 2010 of approximately 15%. The lease terminates on November 30, 2015; however, the Company may exercise a five year renewal option at its discretion.
 
The Company leases its offices and other facilities under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2015. Total rent expense for all operating leases was approximately $7,918, $12,266 and $13,063 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $9,278 and $7,888, respectively, related to lease incentives and the difference between rent expense and the rental amount payable for leases with fixed escalations.

Other Contingencies
 
The Company provides certain indemnification provisions within its license agreements to protect the other party from any liabilities or damages resulting from a claim of misappropriation or infringement by third parties relating to its products and services. The Company has not incurred a liability relating to any of these indemnification provisions in the past and management believes that the likelihood of any future payment relating to these provisions is unlikely. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability during any period for these indemnification provisions.
 
13.   Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”) under which directors, officers and other eligible employees receive awards of options to purchase HLTH Common Stock and restricted shares of HLTH Common Stock. Additionally, WHC has two similar stock-based compensation plans that provide for stock options and restricted stock awards based on WHC Class A Common Stock. The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides employees with the ability to buy shares of HLTH Common Stock at a discount. The following sections of this note summarize the activity for each of these plans.
 
HLTH Plans
 
The Company had an aggregate of 5,726,256 shares of HLTH Common Stock available for future grants under the Plans as of December 31, 2007. In addition to the Plans, the Company has granted options to certain directors, officers and key employees pursuant to individual stock option agreements. At December 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 4,139,881 shares of HLTH Common Stock outstanding to these individuals. The terms of these grants are similar to the terms of the options granted under the Plans and accordingly, the stock option activity of these individuals is included in all references to the Plans. Beginning in April 2007, shares are issued from treasury stock when options are exercised or restricted stock is granted. Prior to this time, new shares were issued in connection with these transactions.

Stock Options
 
Generally, options under the Plans vest and become exercisable ratably over a three to five year period based on their individual grant dates subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. The majority of options granted under the Plans expire within ten years from the date of grant. Options are granted at prices not less than the fair market value of HLTH Common Stock on the date of grant.

Until the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a full valuation allowance had been provided against all domestic net deferred tax assets, except for a deferred tax liability originating from the Company’s business combinations that resulted in tax-deductible goodwill which is indefinite as to when such liability will reverse. During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, after consideration of the relevant positive and negative evidence, the Company reversed $24,652 of its valuation allowance, of which $16,327 reversed through the tax provision and the remainder primarily reversed through discontinued operations.
 
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by $50,304 and $369,951 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The reduction in the valuation allowance in 2006 primarily relates to the utilization of net operating losses to offset the gain on the EPS Sale and the 2006 EBS Sale.
 
At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $1.3 billion, which expire in 2011 through 2028, and federal tax credits of approximately $34,022, which excludes the impact of any unrecognized tax benefits, which expire in 2008 through 2028. Approximately $440,424 and $29,739 of these net operating loss carryforwards were recorded through additional paid-in capital and goodwill, respectively. Therefore, if in the future the Company believes that it is more likely than not that these tax benefits will be realized, this portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed against additional paid-in capital and goodwill, respectively.
 
The Company uses the “with-and-without” approach as described in EITF Topic No. D-32 in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. Using the “with-and-without” approach, the Company will only recognize a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. As a result of this approach, tax net operating loss carryforwards generated from operations and acquired entities are considered utilized before the current period’s share-based deduction.
 
The Company has excess tax benefits, related to stock option exercises subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) of $147,140 that are not recorded as a deferred tax asset as the amounts would not have resulted in a reduction in current taxes payable as all other tax attributes currently available to the Company were utilized. The benefit of these deductions will be recorded to additional paid-in capital at the time the tax deduction results in a reduction of current taxes payable.

HLTH CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
A portion of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods due to the “change of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. A portion of these carryforwards may expire before becoming available to reduce future income tax liabilities.
 
The income taxes for 2007 and 2006 include a provision for federal taxes of $2,565 and $28,783, respectively, that has not been reduced by the decrease in valuation allowance as these tax benefits were acquired through business combinations. In addition, in 2005 the Joint Committee of the Internal Revenue Service completed its review of claims related to 2001 and 2002. The 2005 federal tax benefit reflects approximately $5,610 of a reduction in tax expense primarily as a result of the reevaluation of our liabilities and contingencies in light of the completion of the review.
 
Some of the Company’s operating companies are profitable in certain states in which the Company does not have net operating losses to offset that income, or are utilizing net operating losses established through additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the Company provided for taxes of $2,860, $19,330, and $544 related to state and other jurisdictions during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, the income tax expense in 2007 and 2006 includes a provision for state taxes of $45 and $1,987, respectively, that has not been reduced by the decrease in valuation allowance as these tax benefits were acquired through business combinations. The state tax provision in 2007, 2006 and 2005 also reflects approximately $1,138, $3,446 and $1,511, respectively, of a reduction in tax expense related to discrete items associated with the reversal of contingencies for various statute expirations.
 
As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had unrecognized income tax benefits, including those of its discontinued operations, of $12,044 and $11,529, which if recognized, would result in $6,831 and $6,315, respectively, being reflected as a component of the income tax provision. Included in the unrecognized income tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 are accrued interest and penalties of $1,135 and $978, respectively. If recognized, these benefits would be reflected as a component of the income tax (benefit) provision. The following table summarizes the activity of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, for the year ended December 31, 2007:
 
         
Balance at January 1, 2007
  $ 10,909  
Increases related to prior year tax positions
    140  
Increases related to current year tax positions
    1,364  
Settlements with tax authorities
    (769 )
Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes
    (1,093 )
         
Balance at December 31, 2007
  $ 10,551  
         
 
Although the Company files U.S. federal, and various state and other tax returns, the major taxing jurisdiction is the U.S. The Company is currently under audit in a number of state and local taxing jurisdictions and will have statutes of limitations with respect to certain tax returns expiring within the next twelve months. As a result, it is reasonably possible that a reduction in the unrecognized income tax benefits, prior to any annual increase, may occur from $1,400 to $1,500 within the next twelve months. With the exception of adjusting net operating loss carryforwards that may be utilized, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2004 and for state and local income tax examinations for years before 2002.

23.   Subsequent Events
 
Investment in Auction Rate Securities Backed by Federally Guaranteed Student Loans
 
As of February 21, 2008, the Company had approximately $1.45 billion in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which includes approximately $364,000 of investments in certain ARS. Also as of this date, WHC had approximately $327,000 of the Company’s consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including approximately $169,000 of the Company’s consolidated ARS investments. The types of ARS investments that the Company owns are backed by student loans, 97% of which are guaranteed under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), and all had credit ratings of AAA or Aaa when purchased. The Company and its subsidiaries do not own any other type of ARS investments.
 
The interest rates on these ARS investments are reset every 28 days by an auction process. Historically, these types of ARS investments have been highly liquid. In mid-February 2008, auctions for ARS investments backed by student loans failed, including auctions for the ARS investments held by the Company. The result of a failed auction is that these ARS investments continue to bear interest in accordance with their terms until the next successful auction; however, liquidity will be limited until there is a successful auction or until such time as other markets for these ARS investments develop. The Company believes that the underlying credit quality of the assets backing its ARS investments has not been impacted by the reduced liquidity of these

ARS investments. As a result of these recent events, the Company is in the process of evaluating the extent of any impairment in its ARS investments resulting from the current lack of liquidity; however, the Company is not yet able to quantify the amount of any impairment. The Company believes that any lack of liquidity relating to its ARS investments will not have an impact on its ability to fund its current operations.
 
WHC Merger
 
On February 20, 2008, the Company and WHC entered into a Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will merge into WHC ( the “WHC Merger”), with WHC continuing as the surviving company. In the WHC Merger, each outstanding share of Company common stock will be converted into 0.1979 shares of WHC common stock and $6.89 in cash, which cash amount is subject to a downward adjustment as described below (the “Merger Consideration”). The shares of WHC Class A Common Stock currently outstanding will remain outstanding and will be unchanged in the WHC Merger. The WHC Merger will eliminate both the controlling class of WHC stock held by the Company and WHC’s existing dual-class stock structure. The terms of the Merger Agreement were negotiated between the Company and a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of WHC. The Merger Agreement was approved by the Board of WHC based on the recommendations of the Special Committee and by the Board of the Company.
 
The cash portion of the Merger Consideration will be funded from cash and investments at WHC and the Company, and proceeds from the Company’s anticipated sales of its ViPS and Porex businesses. The cash portion of the Merger Consideration is subject to downward adjustment prior to the closing, based on the amount of proceeds received from the disposition of the Company’s investment in certain ARS, which, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, must be liquidated by the Company prior to closing of the WHC Merger. The Company cannot predict, at this time, the amount of such downward adjustment. See “Investment in Auction Rate Securities Backed by Federally Guaranteed Student Loans” above. If either ViPS or Porex has not been sold at the time the WHC Merger is ready to be consummated, WHC may issue up to $250,000 in redeemable notes to the stockholders of the Company in lieu of a portion of the cash consideration otherwise payable in the WHC Merger. The notes would bear interest at a rate of 11% per annum, payable in kind annually in arrears. The notes would be subject to mandatory redemption by WHC from the proceeds of the divestiture of the remaining ViPS or Porex business. The redemption price would be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of the redemption.
 
Completion of the WHC Merger is subject to: the Company and WHC receiving required stockholder approvals; a requirement that the surviving company have an amount of cash, as of the closing, at least equal to an agreed upon threshold, calculated in accordance with a formula contained in the Merger Agreement; completion of the sale by the Company of either ViPS or Porex and the sale of the Company’s ARS investments; and other customary closing conditions. The Company, which owns shares of WHC constituting approximately 96% of the total number of votes represented by outstanding shares, has agreed to vote its shares of WHC in favor of the WHC Merger. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2008.
 
Following the WHC Merger, WHC as the surviving corporation will assume the obligations of the Company under the Company’s 31/8% Convertible Notes due September 1, 2025 and the Company’s 1.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2023 (“Convertible Notes”). In the event a holder of these Convertible Notes converts these Convertible Notes into shares of HLTH Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable indenture prior to the effective time of the WHC Merger, those shares would be treated in the WHC Merger like all other shares of HLTH Common Stock. In the event a holder of the Convertible Notes converts those Convertible Notes pursuant to the applicable indenture following the effective time of the WHC Merger, those Convertible Notes would be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of HLTH Common Stock into which such Convertible Notes would have been convertible. For additional information regarding these Convertible Notes, see Note 8, above.

Sale of EBSCo
 
On February 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and simultaneously completed the sale (the “2008 EBSCo Sale”) of its 48% minority ownership interest in EBSCo for $575,000 in cash to an affiliate of GA and affiliates of Hellman & Friedman, LLC (“H&F”). The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. The Company and WHC will be continuing their product development and marketing relationships with EBSCo. The Company expects to recognize a taxable gain on the 2008 EBSCo Sale and expects to utilize a portion of its federal NOL carryforward to offset a portion of the tax liability that would otherwise result from the 2008 EBSCo Sale. Under the existing Tax Sharing Agreement between the Company and WHC, the Company has agreed to reimburse WHC for any NOL carryforward attributable to WHC that is utilized by the Company in connection with this transaction. The amount of the NOL carryforward attributable to WHC to be utilized and the amount of the resulting reimbursement depend on numerous factors and cannot be determined at this time. This reimbursement obligation would be extinguished by the completion of the WHC Merger.
