REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of WebMD Health Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WebMD Health Corp. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at page F-1. 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 WebMD Health Corp. at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, 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 2 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), WebMD Health Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, 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 26, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1.   Background and Basis of Presentation
 
Background
 
WebMD Health Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on May 3, 2005. The Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A Common Stock on September 28, 2005. The Company’s Class A Common Stock trades under the symbol “WBMD” on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Prior to the date of the IPO, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HLTH Corporation (“HLTH”). Since the completion of the IPO, the Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of HLTH, which owned 83.6% of the equity of the Company as of December 31, 2008. The Company’s Class A Common Stock has one vote per share, while the Company’s Class B Common Stock has five votes per share. As a result, the Company’s Class B Common Stock owned by HLTH represented, as of December 31, 2008, 96.0% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
 
Reclassification
 
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 27, 2009 (the “2008 Form 10-K”), however, they reflect the reclassification of our Little Blue Book print directory business (“LBB”) to discontinued operations (as described in Note 3) and the related elimination of the Publishing and Other Services segment. While the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the reclassifications described above, they do not reflect any other events occurring after February 27, 2009, the date of the 2008 Form 10-K. Other events occurring after that date have been disclosed in other public filings made by the Company, including Current Reports on Form 8-K and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009.
 
Business
 
The Company provides health information services to consumers, physicians and other healthcare professionals, employers and health plans through its public and private online portals and health-focused publications. The Company’s public portals for consumers enable them to obtain health and wellness information (including information on specific diseases or conditions), check symptoms, locate physicians, store individual healthcare information, receive periodic e-newsletters on topics of individual interest and participate in online communities with peers and experts. The Company’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. The Company’s public portals generate revenue primarily through the sale of advertising and sponsorship products, including CME services. The Company also distributes online content and services to other entities and generates revenue from these arrangements through the sale of advertising and sponsorship products and content syndication fees, provides e-detailing promotion and physician recruitment services and provides print services including the publication of WebMD the Magazine, a consumer magazine distributed to physician office waiting rooms. The public portals sponsors and advertisers include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and consumer products companies. The Company’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. The Company provides related services for use by such employees and members, including lifestyle education and personalized telephonic health coaching. The Company generates revenue from its private portals through the licensing of these services to employers and health plans either directly or through distributors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of HLTH, principally representing the WebMD segments, using the historical results of operations, and historical basis of assets and liabilities of the WebMD related businesses. Management believes the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, the consolidated financial statements included herein may not necessarily reflect the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future or what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Company been a stand-alone company during the periods presented.
 
Transactions between the Company and HLTH have been identified in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as Transactions with HLTH (see Note 5).
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The results of operations for companies acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The timing of the Company’s revenue is affected by seasonal factors. Revenue within the public portals is seasonal, primarily as a result of the annual budget approval process of the Company’s clients. This portion of the Company’s revenue is usually the lowest in the first quarter of each calendar year, and increases during each consecutive quarter throughout the year. The Company’s private portals 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.
 
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 to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic 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: revenue recognition, 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 investments in auction rate securities, the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued expenses and contingencies, share-based compensation to employees and transactions with HLTH.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in various money market accounts.
 
Fair Value
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue is deemed to approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. See Note 15 for further information.
 
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 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.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects the Company’s best estimate of losses inherent in the Company’s receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available evidence.
 
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. The Company capitalized $2,714 and $4,847 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Capitalized internal use software development costs are included in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Training and data conversion costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are depreciated over a

three-year period. Depreciation expense related to internal use software was $3,429, $2,778 and $717 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
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 $6,289 and $7,980 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 $6,644, $4,501 and $446 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
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 and fixtures
  4 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 expensed as incurred. Major betterments are capitalized.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and intangible assets resulting from acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
 
     
Content
  4 to 5 years
Customer relationships
  5 to 12 years
Acquired technology and patents
  3 years
Trade names
  10 years
 
Recoverability
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill annually and whenever indicators of impairment are present. The Company measures goodwill 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 No. 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


F-10


Table of Contents

 
WEBMD HEALTH CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
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.
 
Leases
 
The Company recognizes lease 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 useful life or lease term. Lease incentives are recorded as a deferred rent credit and recognized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term as described above.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue from advertising 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.
 
Sales, Use and Value Added Tax
 
The Company excludes sales, use and value added tax from revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
As discussed more fully in Note 12, on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, “(Revised 2004): Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaced SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“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


F-11


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
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 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 continued to apply the accelerated attribution method for the remaining unvested portion of any awards granted prior to January 1, 2006.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense totaled $10,852, $9,779, and $12,533 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in these amounts are non-cash advertising costs of $5,097, $5,264 and $7,415 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the advertising services received from News Corporation. See Note 7 for additional information related to the News Corporation transaction.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
None of the Company’s customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2008, 2007 or 2006 or more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008, 2007 or 2006.
 
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 $3,417, $3,660 and $3,475 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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 amounts expected to be realized.
 
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted 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. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the interpretations or positions that tax authorities may take regarding specific tax returns filed by the Company and, even if the Company believes its tax positions are correct, may determine to make settlement payments in order to avoid the costs of disputing particular positions taken. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption

of FIN 48. However, the Company reduced $603 of a deferred tax asset and its associated valuation allowance upon adoption of FIN 48.
 
With the exception of adjusting net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that may be utilized, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2005 and for state and local income tax examinations for years before 2003.
 
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.
 
Income Per Common Share
 
Basic and diluted income per common share are presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). In accordance with SFAS 128, basic income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods, increased to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

Included, or partially included, in basic and diluted shares for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 is the impact, or partial impact, of shares that were issued in December 2008 to the former owners of Subimo LLC (the “Subimo Sellers”) pursuant to the purchase agreement (as amended, the “Subimo Purchase Agreement”) for the Company’s acquisition of Subimo (see Note 6 — Investment and Business Combinations for information regarding the acquisition). Under the terms of the Subimo Purchase Agreement, the Company had deferred the issuance of 640,930 shares of Class A Common Stock (“Deferred Shares”) until December 2008. Up to 246,508 of the Deferred Shares were available, prior to December 2008, to be used to settle any outstanding claims or warranties the Company may have had against the Subimo Sellers under the Subimo Purchase Agreement. For purposes of calculating basic net income per share, the weighted average impact of 394,422 of the Deferred Shares (representing the non-contingent portion of the Deferred

Shares) was included. For purposes of calculating diluted net income per share, the weighted average impact of all of the 640,930 Deferred Shares was included. As described in Note 6 below, the Deferred Shares were repurchased by the Company on December 3, 2008, immediately after their issuance.
 
The Company has excluded certain outstanding stock options and restricted stock from the calculation of diluted income per common share because such securities were anti-dilutive during the periods presented. The total number of shares that could potentially dilute income per common share in the future that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share was 7,709,813, 1,360,386 and 749,328 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
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, 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. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of discontinued operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” and other U.S. GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this FSP may impact the useful lives the Company assigns to intangible assets that are acquired through future business combinations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), a replacement of SFAS 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 SFAS 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 and for tax matters relating to prior acquisitions settled subsequent to December 31, 2008.

4.   Stock Repurchase Program
 
On December 4, 2008, the Company announced the authorization of a stock repurchase program, at which time the Company was authorized to use up to $30,000 to purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock, from time to time, in the open market, through block trades or in private transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. During 2008, no shares were repurchased under this program.
 
5.   Transactions with HLTH
 
Agreements with HLTH
 
In connection with the IPO in September 2005, the Company entered into a number of agreements with HLTH 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 HLTH providing the Company with administrative services, such as payroll, accounting, tax, employee benefit plans, employee insurance, intellectual property, legal and information processing services. Under the Services Agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse HLTH an amount that reasonably approximates HLTH’s cost of providing services to the Company. HLTH has agreed to make the services available to the Company for up to five years; however, the Company is not required, under the Services Agreement, to continue to obtain services from HLTH 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. The terms of the Services Agreement provide that HLTH has the option to terminate the services that it provides for the Company, in whole or in part, if it ceases to provide such services for itself, upon at least 180 days’ written notice to the Company.
 
On February 15, 2006, the Tax Sharing Agreement was amended to provide that HLTH would compensate the Company for any use of the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards resulting from certain extraordinary transactions, as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement. On September 14, 2006, HLTH completed the sale of its Emdeon Practice Services business (“EPS”) for approximately $565,000 in cash (“EPS Sale”). On November 16, 2006, HLTH completed the sale of a 52% interest in its Emdeon Business Services business (“EBS”) for approximately $1,200,000 in cash (“2006 EBS Sale”). HLTH recognized a taxable gain on the sales of EPS and EBS and utilized a portion of its federal NOL carryforwards to offset the gain on these transactions. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement between HLTH and the Company, the Company was reimbursed for its NOL carryforwards utilized by HLTH in these transactions at the current federal statutory rate of 35%. During 2007, HLTH reimbursed the Company $149,862 attributable to the NOL that was utilized by HLTH as a result of the EPS Sale and the 2006 EBS Sale. The reimbursement was recorded as capital contribution, which increased additional paid-in capital.
 
In February 2008, HLTH and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which HLTH would merge into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the terms of a Termination Agreement entered into on October 19, 2008

(the “Termination Agreement”), HLTH and the Company mutually agreed, in light of the turmoil in financial markets, to terminate the Merger Agreement. The Termination Agreement maintained HLTH’s obligation, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, to pay the expenses the Company incurred in connection with the merger. In connection with the termination of the merger, HLTH assigned to the Company the Amended and Restated Data License Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2008, among HLTH, EBS Master LLC and certain affiliated companies.
 
Also, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement was further amended to provide that, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2007, HLTH is no longer required to reimburse the Company for use of NOL carryforwards attributable to the Company that may result from extraordinary transactions by HLTH. The Tax Sharing Agreement has not, other than with respect to certain extraordinary transactions by HLTH, required either HLTH or the Company to reimburse the other party for any net tax savings realized by the consolidated group as a result of the group’s utilization of the Company’s or HLTH’s NOL carryforwards during the period of consolidation, and that will continue following the amendment. Accordingly, HLTH will not be required to reimburse the Company for use of NOL carryforwards attributable to the Company in connection with (a) HLTH’s sale in February 2008 of its 48% minority interest in EBS to an affiliate of General Atlantic LLC and investment funds managed by Hellman & Friedman LLC for a sale price of $575,000 in cash or (b) HLTH’s sale in July 2008 of its ViPS segment to an affiliate of General Dynamics Corporation for approximately $225,000 in cash. HLTH expects to recognize taxable gains on these transactions and expects to utilize a portion of the Company’s federal NOL carryforward to offset a portion of the tax liability resulting from these transactions.
 
Charges from the Company to HLTH
 
Revenue.  The Company sells certain of its products and services to HLTH businesses. These amounts are included in revenue during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The Company charges HLTH rates comparable to those charged to third parties for similar products and services.
 
Charges from HLTH to the Company
 
Corporate Services.  The Company is charged a services fee (the “Services Fee”) for costs related to corporate services provided by HLTH. The services that HLTH provides include certain administrative services, including payroll, accounting, tax planning and compliance, employee benefit plans, legal matters and information processing. In addition, the Company reimburses HLTH for an allocated portion of certain expenses that HLTH incurs for outside services and similar items, including insurance fees, outside personnel, facilities costs, professional fees, software maintenance fees and telecommunication costs. HLTH has agreed to make the services available to the Company for up to 5 years following the IPO. These expense allocations were determined on a basis that HLTH and the Company consider to be a reasonable assessment of the costs of providing these services, exclusive of any profit margin. The basis the Company and HLTH used to determine these expense allocations required management to make certain judgments and assumptions. The Services Fee is reflected in general and administrative expense within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
Healthcare Expense.  The Company is charged for its employees’ participation in HLTH’s healthcare plans. Healthcare expense is charged based on the number of total employees of the Company and reflects HLTH’s average cost of these benefits per employee. Healthcare expense is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the same expense captions as the related salary costs of those employees.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Expense.  Stock-based compensation expense is related to stock option issuances and restricted stock awards of HLTH Common Stock that have been granted to certain employees of the Company. Stock-based compensation expense is allocated on a specific employee identification basis. The

6.   Investment and Business Combinations
 
2008 Investment
 
On November 19, 2008, the Company acquired Series D preferred stock in a privately held company. The total investment was approximately $6,471, which includes approximately $470 of acquisition costs and is included within other assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. Since the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over this company, the investment is accounted for under the cost method.
 
2006 Acquisitions
 
On December 15, 2006 (the “Subimo Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Subimo, LLC (“Subimo”), a privately held provider of healthcare decision-support applications to large employers, health plans and financial institutions. The initial purchase consideration for Subimo was valued at approximately $59,320, comprised of $32,820 in cash, net of cash acquired, $26,000 of WebMD Class A Common Stock and $500 of acquisition costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Subimo Purchase Agreement, the Company deferred the issuance of the $26,000 of equity equal to 640,930 shares of Class A Common Stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values. In connection with the allocation of the purchase price and intangible asset valuation, goodwill of $47,776 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $12,300 were recorded. The intangible assets are comprised of $10,000 relating to customer relationships with estimated useful lives of twelve years and $2,300 relating to acquired technology with an estimated useful life of three years. The goodwill and intangible assets recorded will be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of Subimo have been included in the financial statements of the Company from December 15, 2006, the closing date of the acquisition.
 
The Deferred Shares were ultimately issued on December 3, 2008 and were repurchased from the Subimo Sellers immediately following their issuance at a purchase price of $20.00 per share, the closing market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 3, 2008. Since the Deferred Shares had a market value that was less than $24.34 per share when issued, the Company was required, under the Subimo Purchase Agreement, to pay additional cash consideration to the Subimo Sellers at the time of the issuance of the shares in an amount equal to the aggregate shortfall, which

In addition, Medsite provides educational programs to physicians. The total purchase consideration for Medsite was approximately $31,467, comprised of $30,682 in cash, net of cash acquired, and $785 of acquisition costs.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values.

Legal Proceedings
 
Department of Justice and SEC Investigations of HLTH
 
As previously disclosed, the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina is conducting an investigation of HLTH, which HLTH first learned about on September 3, 2003. Based on the information available to HLTH, it believes that the investigation relates principally to issues of financial accounting improprieties for Medical Manager Corporation, a predecessor of HLTH (by its merger into HLTH 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 HLTH sold to Sage Software, Inc. in September 2006.
 
While HLTH is not sure of the investigation’s exact scope, it does not believe that the investigation relates to the business of our company or any of our subsidiaries. HLTH believes that the investigation relates principally to issues of financial accounting improprieties relating to Medical Manager Health Systems, including activities that artificially inflated revenues and earnings of Medical Manager Health Systems. HLTH has been cooperating and intends to continue to cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. HLTH’s Board of Directors has formed a Special Committee consisting solely of independent directors to oversee this matter, with the sole authority to direct HLTH’s response to the allegations that have been raised.
 
In January 2005, certain former employees of Emdeon Practice Services agreed to plead guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion as a result of the investigation by the U.S. Attorney. According to the Informations, Plea Agreements and Factual Summaries filed by the U.S. 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 for Medical Manager Health Systems and co-schemers kickbacks which were funded through increases in the purchase price paid by Medical Manager Health Systems to the acquired company 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 became acquired by Synetic, Inc. in July 1999 and when and after it became a subsidiary of HLTH in September 2000. A fourth former officer of Medical Manager Health Systems pleaded guilty to similar activities later in 2005.
 
On December 15, 2005, the U.S. 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 HLTH, who was most recently employed by HLTH 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. The trial of the indicted former officers and directors of Medical Manager Health Systems has been scheduled for May 4, 2009. Mr. Robbins passed away on September 27, 2008 and on October 15, 2008 the court granted a motion to dismiss Mr. Robbins from the Second Superseding Indictment.
 
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, HLTH 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. HLTH understands, however, that in light of the nature of the allegations involved, the U.S. Attorney’s office has been investigating all levels of HLTH’s management. Some members of the Company’s senior management are also serving or have served as members of senior management of HLTH. In the event members of the Company’s senior management were to be implicated in any wrongdoing, it could have an adverse impact on the Company.
 
HLTH understands that the SEC is also conducting a formal investigation into this matter.
 
The terms of an indemnity agreement between HLTH and the Company provide that HLTH will indemnify the Company against any and all liabilities arising from or based on this investigation.
 
Other Legal Proceedings
 
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that their outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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.
 
12.   Stock-Based Compensation Plans
 
The Company has various stock compensation plans under which directors, officers and other eligible employees receive awards of options to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock and HLTH Common Stock and restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and HLTH Common Stock. The following sections of this note summarize the activity for each of these plans.
 
HLTH Plans
 
Certain WebMD employees participate in the stock-based compensation plans of HLTH (collectively, the “HLTH Plans”). Under the HLTH Plans certain of the Company’s employees have received grants of options to purchase HLTH Common Stock and restricted shares of HLTH Common Stock. Additionally, all eligible WebMD employees were provided the opportunity to participate in HLTH’s employee stock purchase plan until HLTH terminated the stock purchase plan on April 30, 2008. All unvested options to purchase HLTH Common Stock and restricted shares of HLTH Common Stock held by the Company’s employees as of the effective date of the IPO continue to vest under the original terms of those awards. An aggregate of 2,843,675 shares of HLTH Common Stock remained available for grant under the HLTH Plans at December 31, 2008.
 
Stock Options
 
Generally, options under the HLTH Plans vest and become exercisable ratably over periods ranging from three to five years based on their individual grant dates subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. The majority of options granted under the HLTH Plans expire within ten years from the date of grant. Options are granted at prices not less than the fair market value of HLTH’s Common Stock on the date

Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from traded options of HLTH Common Stock combined with historical volatility of HLTH Common Stock. The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding following their grant date, and was determined using historical exercise data. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected term of the options on the grant date.
 
Restricted Stock Awards
 
HLTH Restricted Stock consists of shares of HLTH Common Stock which have been awarded to the Company’s employees with restrictions that cause them to be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and restrict their sale or other transfer by the employee until they vest.

14.   Income Taxes
 
The Company’s results of operations have been included in HLTH’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns. The provision for income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements has been determined on a separate return basis using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” 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. The Company is required to assess its deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance on a separate return basis, and exclude from that assessment the utilization of all or a portion of those losses by HLTH under the separate return method. This assessment requires considerable judgment on the part of management with respect to benefits that could be realized from future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. These amounts are reported without the impact resulting from filing on a consolidated tax return basis with HLTH.

Until the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a full valuation allowance had been provided against all 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 quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, after consideration of the relevant positive and negative evidence, the Company reversed $23,683 and $25,481, respectively, of its valuation allowance primarily through the tax provision. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by $16,527 and $35,055 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
On a separate return basis, as of December 31, 2008, the Company had NOL carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $607,811, which expire in 2010 through 2025, and federal tax credits of approximately $3,546, which excludes the impact of any unrecognized tax benefits, which expire in 2017 through 2027. Approximately $207,990 and $33,063 of these NOL 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. However, upon the adoption of SFAS 141R on January 1, 2009, the reversal of a valuation allowance related to acquired deferred tax assets

will no longer be recognized in goodwill and instead will be recognized as a component of the income tax provision.
 
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 NOL 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 $72,758 that are not recorded as a deferred tax asset as the amounts would not have resulted in a reduction in current taxes payable if all other tax attributes currently available to the Company were utilized. The benefit of these deductions is recorded to additional paid-in capital at the time the tax deduction results in a reduction of current taxes payable.
 
On a legal entity basis, as of December 31, 2008, the Company had NOL carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $141,001, which expire in 2010 through 2027, and federal tax credits of approximately $3,592, which excludes the impact of any unrecognized tax benefits, which expire in 2008 through 2028. These amounts reflect the utilization of NOL carryforwards by HLTH as a result of the sale of certain of its businesses.
 
Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to manner and order in which NOL carryforwards are utilized when filing consolidated tax returns, a portion of the Company’s actual NOL carryforwards may be required to be utilized by HLTH before HLTH would be permitted to utilize its own NOL carryforwards. Correspondingly, in some situations, such as where HLTH’s NOL carryforwards were the first to be generated, the Company may be required to utilize a portion of HLTH’s NOL carryforwards before the Company would have to utilize its own NOL carryforwards.
 
On November 25, 2008, HLTH repurchased 83,699,922 shares of its common stock in a tender offer. The tender offer resulted in a cumulative change of more than 50% of the ownership of HLTH’s capital, as determined under rules prescribed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations. As a result of this ownership change, there will be an annual limitation imposed on the ability to utilize the Company’s NOL carryforwards and federal tax credits.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had profitable operations in certain states in which the Company did not have NOLs to offset that income, or utilized NOLs established through additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the Company provided for taxes of $3,109 and $1,713 related to state and other jurisdictions during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the income tax provision in 2007 and 2006 includes a non-cash provision for taxes of $231 and $94, respectively, that has not been reduced by the decrease in valuation allowance as these tax benefits were acquired through business combinations. Of these amounts, a portion is included in the due from HLTH balance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had unrecognized income tax benefits of $611 and $603, respectively, which if recognized, none would be reflected as a component of the income tax provision. No interest and penalties were accrued as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

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 for state tax purposes and will have statutes of limitations with respect to certain tax returns expiring within the next twelve months. However, the Company does not expect a significant change in the unrecognized income tax benefits within the next twelve months. With the exception of adjusting NOL carryforwards that may be utilized, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2005 and for state and local income tax examinations for years before 2003.
 
15.   Fair Value Disclosures and Credit Facility
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
 
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
 
     
Level 1:
  Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
  Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:
  Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
 
The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets as of December 31, 2008. The following table sets forth the Company’s Level 3 financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 and the respective fair values at December 31, 2007:
 
                 
    December 31,

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s Level 3 assets, which consist of the Company’s ARS holdings:
 
         
Balance as of January 1, 2008
  $  
Transfers to Level 3
    169,200  
Redemptions
    (4,400 )
Impairment charge included in earnings

    446  
Unrealized losses included in other comprehensive (loss) income
    (4,277 )
         
Balance as of December 31, 2008
  $ 133,563  
         
 
The Company holds investments in ARS which have been classified as Level 3 assets as described above. The types of ARS holdings the Company owns are backed by student loans, which are 97% guaranteed under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), and had credit ratings of AAA or Aaa when purchased. Historically, the fair value of the Company’s ARS holdings approximated par value due to the frequent auction periods, generally every 7 to 28 days, which provided liquidity to these investments. However, since February 2008, all auctions involving these securities have failed. As a secondary market has yet to develop, these investments have been reclassified to long-term investments as of December 31, 2008. The result of a failed auction is that these ARS holdings will continue to pay interest in accordance with their terms at each respective auction date; however, liquidity of the securities will be limited until there is a successful auction, the issuer redeems the securities, the securities mature or until such time as other markets for these ARS holdings develop. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the ARS no longer approximated the face value due to the lack of liquidity. The securities have been classified within Level 3 as their valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market due to the lack of trading in the securities.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of its ARS holdings using an income approach valuation technique. Using this approach, expected future cash flows were calculated over the expected life of each security and were discounted to a single present value using a market required rate of return. Some of the more significant assumptions made in the present value calculations were (i) the estimated weighted average lives for the loan portfolios underlying each individual ARS, which range from 4 to 14 years and (ii) the required rates of return used to discount the estimated future cash flows over the estimated life of each security, which considered both the credit quality for each individual ARS and the market liquidity for these investments. As of March 31, 2008, the Company concluded the fair value of its ARS holdings was $141,044 compared to a face value of $168,450. The impairment in value, or $27,406, was considered to be other-than-temporary and, accordingly, was recorded as an impairment charge within the statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
In making the determination that the impairment was other-than-temporary, the Company considered (i) the current market liquidity for ARS, particularly student loan backed ARS, (ii) the long-term maturities of the loan portfolios underlying each ARS owned by the Company which, on a weighted average basis, extended to as many as 14 years as of March 31, 2008 and (iii) the ability and intent of the Company to hold its ARS investments until sufficient liquidity returns to the auction rate market to enable the sale of these securities or until the investments mature.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received $4,400 associated with the partial redemption of certain of its ARS holdings, which represented 100% of their face value. As a result, as of December 31, 2008, the total face value of the Company’s ARS holdings was $164,800, compared to a fair value of $133,563. In addition to the impairment charge discussed above, during 2008 the Company reduced the carrying value of its ARS holdings by $4,277. Since this reduction in value resulted from fluctuations in


F-36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
interest rate assumptions, the Company assessed this reduction to be temporary in nature, and accordingly, this amount has been recorded as an unrealized loss in other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets. During 2007 and 2006, the Company did not recognize any realized or unrealized gains or losses from ARS holdings. The Company continues to monitor the market for ARS as well as the individual ARS investments it owns. The Company may be required to record additional losses in future periods if the fair value of its ARS holdings deteriorates further.
 
Credit Facility
 
On May 6, 2008, the Company entered into a non-recourse credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citigroup that is secured by the Company’s ARS holdings (including, in some circumstances, interest payable on the ARS holdings), that will allow the Company to borrow up to 75% of the face amount of the ARS holdings pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is governed by a loan agreement, dated as of May 6, 2008, containing customary representations and warranties of the borrower and certain affirmative covenants and negative covenants relating to the pledged collateral. Under the loan agreement, the borrower and the lender may, in certain circumstances, cause the pledged collateral to be sold, with the proceeds of any such sale required to be applied in full immediately to repayment of amounts borrowed.
 
No borrowings have been made under the Credit Facility to date. The Company can make borrowings under its Credit Facility until May 2009. The interest rate applicable to such borrowings is one-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. Any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility after March 2009 become demand loans, subject to 60 days notice, with recourse only to the pledged collateral.
 
16.   Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income, such as changes in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale marketable securities. The following table presents the components of comprehensive income:
