Explanatory Note
 
WebMD Health Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2007 and amended by Amendment No. 1 on April 30, 2007, to amend and restate its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2006 and its selected financial data for the years ended December 31, 2002 through December 31, 2006.
 
The Company identified an error in its accounting for non-cash income tax expense and related deferred taxes. The error relates to the tax impact of goodwill arising from certain business combinations which is amortized as an expense for tax purposes over 15 years but is not amortized to expense for financial reporting purposes since the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as of January 1, 2002. The Company recorded a deferred income tax expense and a deferred tax liability related to the tax-deductible goodwill. However, in preparing the financial statements, the Company incorrectly netted the deferred tax liability resulting from the amortization of tax deductible goodwill against deferred tax assets (primarily relating to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards) and provided a valuation allowance on the net asset balance. Because the deferred tax liability has an indefinite life, it should not have been netted against deferred tax assets with a definite life when determining the required valuation allowance. As a result, the Company did not record the appropriate valuation allowance and related deferred income tax expense. The deferred tax liability described above will remain on the balance sheet of the Company indefinitely unless there is an impairment of goodwill for financial reporting purposes or the related business entity is disposed of through a sale or otherwise.
 
The error resulted in an understatement of deferred income tax expense and related deferred tax liabilities and an overstatement of net income in an aggregate amount of $4.2 million in the Company’s audited financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The error also resulted in an understatement of deferred income tax expense and related deferred tax liabilities and an overstatement of net income in an aggregate amount of $1.1 million in the Company’s financial statements for the years prior to 2004. The correction had no effect on the Company’s revenue, pre-tax operating results, total assets, cash flow or liquidity for any period.
 
A summary of the effects of this change on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 is included in Note 19, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” located in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Annual report.

Introduction
 
Our Company
 
We are a leading provider of health information services to consumers, physicians and other healthcare professionals, employers and health plans. We have organized our business into two operating segments as follows:
 
  •  Online Services.  We own and operate both public and private online portals. Our public portals enable consumers to become more informed about healthcare choices and assist them in playing an active role in managing their health. The public portals also enable physicians and other healthcare professionals to improve their clinical knowledge and practice of medicine, as well as their communication with patients. Our public portals generate revenue primarily through the sale of advertising and sponsorship


3


 

  products, including continuing medical education (“CME”) services. Our sponsors and advertisers include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and consumer products companies. We provide information and services that enable employees and members, respectively, to make more informed benefit, treatment and provider decisions through our private portals for employers and health plans. We generate revenue from our private portals through the licensing of these portals to employers and health plans either directly or through distributors. We also distribute our online content and services to other entities and generate revenue from these arrangements through the sale of advertising and sponsorship products and content syndication fees. We also provide 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 on June 13, 2006. The Company also provides promotion and physician recruitment services for use by pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare companies as a result of the acquisition of Medsite on September 11, 2006.
 
  •  Publishing and Other Services.  We provide several offline products and services: ACP Medicine and ACS Surgery: Principles of Practice, our medical reference textbooks; The Little Blue Book, a physician directory; and WebMD the Magazine, a consumer-targeted publication launched in early 2005 that we distribute free of charge to physician office waiting rooms. We generate revenue from sales of subscriptions to our medical reference textbooks, sales of The Little Blue Book directories and advertisements in those directories, and sales of advertisements in WebMD the Magazine. We also conduct in-person medical education as a result of the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis Technologies, Inc. in December 2005. Our Publishing and Other Services segment complements our Online Services segment and extends the reach of our brand and our influence with health-involved consumers and clinically-active physicians.
 
Background Information on Certain Trends and Strategies
 
Several key trends in the healthcare and Internet industries are influencing the use of healthcare information services of the types we provide or are developing. Those trends, and the strategies we have developed in response, are described briefly below:
 
  •  Use of the Internet by Consumer and Physicians.  The Internet has emerged as a major communications medium and has already fundamentally changed many sectors of the economy, including the marketing and sales of financial services, travel, and entertainment, among others. The Internet is also changing the healthcare industry and has transformed how consumers and physicians find and utilize healthcare information. As consumers are required to assume greater financial responsibility for rising healthcare costs, the Internet serves as a valuable resource by providing them with immediate access to searchable and dynamic interactive content to check symptoms, assess risks, understand diseases, find providers and evaluate treatment options. The Internet has also become a primary source of information for physicians seeking to improve clinical practice and is growing relative to traditional information sources, such as conferences, meetings and offline journals.
 
  •  Increased Online Marketing and Education Spending for Healthcare Products.  Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies spend large amounts each year marketing their products and educating consumers and physicians about them, however, only a small portion of this amount is currently spent on online services. We believe that these companies, which comprise the majority of our advertisers and sponsors, are becoming increasingly aware of the effectiveness of the Internet relative to traditional media in providing health, clinical and product-related information to consumers and physicians, and this increasing awareness will result in increasing demand for our services.
 
  •  Changes in Health Plan Design.  While overall healthcare costs have been rising at a rapid annual rate, employers’ costs of providing healthcare benefits to their employees are increasing at an even faster rate. In response to these increases, employers are seeking to shift a greater portion of healthcare costs onto their employees and to redefine traditional health benefits. Employers and health plans want to motivate their members and employees to evaluate their healthcare decisions more carefully in order to be more cost-effective. As employers continue to implement high deductible and consumer-directed


4


 

  healthcare plans (referred to as CDHPs) and related Health Savings Accounts (referred to as HSAs) to achieve these goals, we believe that we will be able to attract more employers and health plans to use our private online portals. In additional, health plans and employers have begun to recognize that encouraging the good health of their members and employees not only benefits the members and employees but also has financial benefits for the health plans and employers. Accordingly, many employers and health plans have been enhancing health management programs and taking steps to provide healthcare information and education to employees and members, including through online services. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from these trends because our private portals provide the tools and information employees and plan members need in order to make more informed decisions about healthcare provider, benefit and treatment options.
 
  •  Traffic to the WebMD Health Network.  During the past several years, an increasing portion of the page view traffic to The WebMD Health Network has come from Web sites that we own. However, a portion of the total page view traffic continues to come from Web sites owned by third parties that carry our content (including the AOL division of Time Warner). During the year ended December 31, 2006, third party Web sites accounted for approximately 7% of The WebMD Health Network’s aggregate page views. In the past, an even larger percentage of the total page view traffic had come from third party Web sites. Under an agreement between WebMD and the AOL division of Time Warner (“AOL”), which was entered into in May 2001 and expires on May 1, 2007, WebMD provides healthcare content, tools and services for use on certain AOL properties. WebMD does not expect its existing agreement with AOL to continue following the expiration of that agreement. The monthly unique users and page view traffic from AOL was 6% and 4%, respectively, of the aggregate WebMD Health Network monthly unique users and page view traffic for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result of the expiration of that agreement in May 2007, the monthly unique users and page view traffic from AOL will no longer be part of the WebMD Health Network. Additionally, revenues and earnings of approximately $5 million per year related to certain contractual guarantees will also end with the expiration of that agreement.
 
The healthcare industry in the United States and relationships among healthcare payers, providers and consumers are very complicated. In addition, the Internet and the market for online services are relatively new and still evolving. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the trends identified above will continue or that the expected benefits to our businesses from our responses to those trends will be achieved. In addition, the market for healthcare information services is highly competitive and not only are our existing competitors seeking to benefit from these same trends, but the trends may also attract additional competitors.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Our company is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on May 3, 2005. We completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A Common Stock on September 28, 2005. Our Class A Common Stock has traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “WBMD” since September 29, 2005 and now trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Prior to the date of the IPO, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emdeon Corporation (“Emdeon”) and our consolidated financial statements had been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Emdeon, principally representing the WebMD segment, using the historical results of operations, and historical basis of assets and liabilities of the WebMD related businesses. Since the completion of the IPO, we are a majority-owned subsidiary of Emdeon, which currently owns 84.6% of our equity. Our Class A Common Stock has one vote per share, while our Class B Common Stock has five votes per share. As a result, our Class B Common Stock owned by Emdeon represented, as of December 31, 2006, 96.5% of the combined voting power of our outstanding Common Stock.

Acquisitions
 
During 2006, we acquired four companies, Subimo, LLC (which we refer to as Subimo), Medsite, Inc. (which we refer to as Medsite), Summex Corporation (which we refer to as Summex) and eMedicine, Inc. (which we refer to as eMedicine), which we refer to together as the 2006 Acquisitions:
 
  •  On December 15, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Subimo, a privately held provider of healthcare decision support applications to large employers, health plans and financial institutions. The total purchase consideration for Subimo was approximately $59,320, comprised of $32,820 in cash, net of cash acquired, $26,000 of WebMD Class A Common Stock and $500 of estimated acquisition costs. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, we deferred the issuance of the $26,000 of equity, equal to 640,930 shares of Class A common shares (“Deferred Shares”) until December 2008. A portion of these shares may be further deferred until December 2010 subject to certain conditions. If the Deferred Shares have a market value that is less than $24.34 per share in December 2008, then we will pay additional consideration equal to this shortfall, either in the form of Class A common shares or cash, in our sole discretion. 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, and are included in the Online Services segment.
 
  •  On September 11, 2006, we acquired the interactive medical education, promotion and physician recruitment businesses of Medsite.

  •  On March 14, 2005, we acquired HealthShare, which provides online tools that compare the cost and quality measures of hospitals for use by consumers, providers and health plans.

The results of operations of HealthShare are included in our Online Services segment beginning March 14, 2005, the closing date of the acquisition.
 
During 2004, we acquired two companies, MedicineNet, Inc. (which we refer to as MedicineNet) and RxList, LLC (which we refer to as RxList), which we refer to together as the 2004 Acquisitions:
 
  •  On December 24, 2004, we acquired MedicineNet, a health information site for consumers, for a total purchase consideration of approximately $17,223, comprised of $16,732 in cash, net of cash acquired, and $491 of acquisition costs. In addition, we agreed to pay up to an additional $15,000 during the three months ending March 31, 2006, if the number of page views on MedicineNet’s Web sites exceeded certain thresholds during the calendar year 2005. We accrued $7,250 as of December 31, 2005 for the cash payment made in April 2006 related to MedicineNet’s achievement of page views exceeding certain thresholds during 2005. The results of operations of MedicineNet are included in our Online Services segment.
 
  •  On October 1, 2004, we acquired RxList, a privately held operator of an online drug directory, for a total purchase consideration of approximately $5,216, comprised of $4,500 in cash, $500 paid during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $216 of acquisition costs. In addition, we agreed to pay up to an additional $2,500 during each of the three month periods ending March 31, 2006 and 2007, if the number of page views on RxList’s Web sites exceeds certain thresholds during each of the three month periods ending December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We accrued $2,387 as of December 31, 2005 for the cash payment made in February 2006 related to RxList’s achievement of page views exceeding certain thresholds during the three months ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations of RxList are included in our Online Services segment.
 
Seasonality
 
The timing of our revenue is affected by seasonal factors. Advertising and sponsorship revenue within our Online Services segment is seasonal, primarily due to the annual budget approval process of the advertising and sponsorship clients of our public portals. This portion of our revenue is usually the lowest in the first quarter of each calendar year, and increases during each consecutive quarter throughout the year. Our private portal licensing revenue is historically higher 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. Finally, the annual distribution cycle within our Publishing and Other Services segment results in a significant portion of our revenue in this segment being recognized in the second and third quarter of each calendar year. The timing of revenue in relation to our expenses, much of which do not vary directly with revenue, has an impact on cost of operations, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue in each calendar quarter.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that we believe 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. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in our business environment; therefore, actual results could


7


 

differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in preparation of our financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our 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 our consolidated financial statements.
 
We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to 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 provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued expenses and contingencies, share-based compensation to employees and transactions with Emdeon.
 
We believe the following reflects our critical accounting policies and our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
  •  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 we substantially complete our contractual deliverables as determined by the applicable agreements. Subscription revenue is recognized over the subscription period. 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.
 
  •  Long-Lived Assets.  Our long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisitions we have made. The amount assigned to intangible assets is subjective and based on our estimates of the future benefit of the intangible assets using accepted valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow and replacement cost models. Our long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which we determined based on the consideration of several factors including the period of time the asset is expected to remain in service. We evaluate the carrying value and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever indicators of impairment are present. We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually, and whenever indicators of impairment are present. We use a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of goodwill. There was no impairment of goodwill noted as a result of our impairment testing in 2006, 2005 and 2004.
 
  •  Stock-Based Compensation.  In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as FASB) issued SFAS No. 123, “(Revised 2004): Share-Based Payment” (which we refer to as SFAS 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (which we refer to as SFAS 123) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” 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. We adopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and elected to use the modified prospective transition method and as a result, prior period results were not restated. Under the modified prospective 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


8


 

  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. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $2,931 and $42,982 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.92 years and 2.05 years, related to the Emdeon and our stock-based compensation plans. The total recognition period for the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for both the Emdeon and our stock-based compensation plans is approximately four years; however, the majority of this cost will be recognized over the next two years, in accordance with our vesting provisions.
 
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in this model are expected dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected term. The expected volatility for stock options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock is based on implied volatility from traded options of Emdeon Common Stock combined with historical volatility of Emdeon’s Common Stock. The expected volatility for stock options to purchase our Class A Common Stock is based on implied volatility from traded options of stock of comparable companies combined with historical stock price volatility of comparable companies.
 
  •  Deferred Tax Assets.  Our deferred tax assets are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $676,000 and $643,000, respectively, on a separate return basis. At December 31, 2006, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $247,000 on a legal entity basis. This amount reflects the utilization of approximately $430,000 by the Emdeon consolidated group as a result of the sale of certain Emdeon businesses. Subject to certain limitations, these loss carryforwards may be used to offset taxable income in future periods, reducing the amount of taxes we might otherwise be required to pay.
 
As of December 31, 2006, a valuation allowance has been provided against net deferred tax assets except for deferred tax liabilities originating from the Company’s business combinations that resulted in tax deductible goodwill. The valuation allowance was established because of the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to a lack of sufficient earnings history. Realization is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards in future periods. Although realization is not currently assured, management evaluates the need for a valuation allowance each quarter, and in the future, should management determine that realization of net deferred tax assets is more likely than not, some or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed and the Company’s effective tax rate may be reduced as a result of such reversal.
 
  •  Transactions with Emdeon.  As discussed further below, our expenses reflect a services fee for an allocation of costs for corporate services provided by Emdeon. Our expenses also reflect the allocation of a portion of the cost of Emdeon’s healthcare plans and the allocation of stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and other stock-based compensation. Our sales and marketing expense reflects an allocation to Emdeon for the utilization by it of advertising services available to us from News Corporation. We are included in the consolidated federal tax return filed by Emdeon. In February 2007, we received a reimbursement of $140 million pursuant to our tax sharing agreement related to our federal tax net operating loss carryforwards utilized by Emdeon in connection with gains related to the sale of certain Emdeon businesses. Additionally, our revenue includes revenue from Emdeon for services we provide.
 
Transactions with Emdeon
 
In connection with the IPO in September 2005, we entered into a number of agreements with Emdeon 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 Emdeon providing us with administrative


9


 

services, such as payroll, accounting, tax, employee benefit plan, employee insurance, intellectual property, legal and information processing services. Under the Services Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse Emdeon an amount that reasonably approximates Emdeon’s cost of providing services to us. Emdeon has agreed to make the services available to us for up to five years; however, we are not required, under the Services Agreement, to continue to obtain services from Emdeon and are 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 Emdeon has the option to terminate the services that it provides for us, in whole or in part, if it ceases to provide such services for itself, upon at least 180 days’ written notice to us.
 
On January 31, 2006, we entered into additional agreements with Emdeon 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. The new agreements cover a term of five years.
 
On February 15, 2006, the Tax Sharing Agreement was amended to provide that Emdeon will compensate us for any use of our net operating losses that may result from certain extraordinary transactions, as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement, including a sale by Emdeon of its Business Services and Practice Services operating segments.
 
On September 14, 2006, Emdeon completed the sale of Emdeon Practice Services (“EPS”) segment for approximately $565,000 in cash. On November 16, 2006, Emdeon completed the sale of a 52% interest in its Emdeon Business Services (“EBS”) segment for approximately $1,200,000 in cash. Emdeon recognized a taxable gain on the sale of its Emdeon Practice Services and Business Services segments and expects to utilize a portion of its federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to offset the gain on these transactions. Under the tax sharing agreement between Emdeon and us, we were reimbursed for any of our NOL carryforwards utilized by Emdeon in these transactions at the current federal statutory rate of 35%. During February 2007, Emdeon reimbursed us $140,000 as an estimate of the payment required pursuant to the tax sharing agreement with respect to the EPS Sale and the EBS Sale which amount is subject to adjustment in connection with the filing of the applicable tax returns. This reimbursement was recorded as a capital contribution which increased additional paid-in-capital at December 31, 2006.
 
The consolidated financial statements include allocations for the following:
 
Charges from the Company to Emdeon
 
  •  Revenue.  Our revenue includes revenue from Emdeon for services we provide to other Emdeon businesses for licensing of our private portal services, revenue for licensing of our database of physicians, and advertising by Emdeon in The Little Blue Book, our physician directory. We record these revenues at rates comparable to those charged to third parties for comparable services.
 
  •  Advertising Expense.  Emdeon utilized the advertising services available to us from News Corporation, which are included in prepaid advertising within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We allocated costs to Emdeon based on its utilization of this asset. This charge included a proportional allocation based on the number of Emdeon operating segments identified in each advertisement and an allocation of cost to Emdeon for the promotion of the WebMD brand. Our portion of the advertising services utilized is reflected in sales and marketing expense and is reported net of the amount charged to Emdeon. On August 5, 2005, Emdeon and other businesses of Emdeon began to use “Emdeon” as their primary brand, instead of “WebMD.” Accordingly, we no longer allocate any advertising expense to Emdeon, or other businesses of Emdeon, related to any advertising that promotes the WebMD brand. If Emdeon uses our prepaid advertising for promotion of the Emdeon brand or other brands used by its other businesses, we will allocate the related cost to Emdeon; however, the amount of such future usage, if any, is currently unknown.

Charges from Emdeon to Our Company
 
  •  Corporate Services.  We are charged a services fee for costs related to corporate services provided to us by Emdeon. These amounts are reflected in general and administrative expenses within our consolidated statements of operations, net of any costs we may incur on behalf of Emdeon. Certain of our employees who had previously been associated with Emdeon were transferred to us during the third quarter of 2005 thus, our specific identification services fee, which historically reflected the expense of those employees, has been eliminated.
 
  •  Healthcare Expense.  We are charged healthcare expense for our employees’ participation in Emdeon’s healthcare plans. Healthcare expense is charged based on the total number of employees of our company and reflects Emdeon’s average cost of these benefits per employee. Healthcare expense is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations in the same expense caption as the related salary costs of those employees. We expect healthcare expense to vary in accordance with increases or decreases in our employee base and consistent with the cost of Emdeon’s healthcare plans.
 
  •  Stock-based Compensation Expense.  Stock-based compensation expense is related to stock option issuances and restricted stock awards of Emdeon’s Common Stock that have been granted to certain employees of the Company. Stock-based compensation expenses are allocated on a specific employee identification basis. The expense is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the same expense captions as the related salary costs of those employees. The allocation of stock-based compensation expense related to Emdeon’s Common Stock is recorded as a capital contribution in additional paid-in capital. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to us by Emdeon increased significantly due to our adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Revenue is derived from our two business segments: Online Services, and Publishing and Other Services. Our Online Services segment derives revenue from advertising, sponsorship (including online CME services), content syndication and distribution, and licenses of private online portals to employers, healthcare payers and others. Our Publishing and Other Services segment derives revenue from sales of, and advertising in, our physician directories, subscriptions to our professional medical reference textbooks, and advertisements in WebMD the Magazine. As a result of the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis, we also generate revenue from in-person CME programs. Included in our Online Services’ revenue are revenue related to our agreements with News Corporation and AOL:
 
  •  We had licensed our content to News Corporation for use across its media properties for four years ending in January 2005, for cash payments totaling $12,000 per contract year.
 
  •  Our company and AOL share revenue from advertising, commerce and programming on the health channels of certain AOL online sites and on a co-branded service we created for AOL. Under the terms of the current agreement which expires in May 2007, our revenue share is subject to a minimum annual guarantee. Included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is revenue of $8,312, $7,805 and $7,242, respectively, which represents sales to third parties of advertising and sponsorship on the AOL health channels, primarily sold through our sales team. Also included in revenue during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is $5,125, $5,951 and $3,754, respectively, related to the guarantee discussed above.
 
Our customers include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and consumer products companies, as well as employers and health plans. Our customers also include physicians and other healthcare providers who buy our physician directories and reference text books.
 
Cost of operations consists of costs related to services and products we provide to customers and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of our public and private portals. These costs relate to editorial and production, Web site operations, non-capitalized Web site development costs, and costs related to the production and distribution of our publications. These costs consist of expenses related to salaries and related expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, creating and licensing content, telecommunications, leased properties, printing and distribution, and non-cash advertising expenses.
 
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising, product and brand promotion, salaries and related expenses, and non-cash stock-based compensation. These expenses include items related to salaries and related expenses of account executives, account management and marketing personnel, costs and expenses for


12


 

marketing programs, and fees for professional marketing and advertising services. Also included in sales and marketing expense are the non-cash advertising expenses discussed above.
 
General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, non-cash stock-based compensation and other salary-related expenses of administrative, finance, legal, information technology, human resources and executive personnel. These expenses include costs of general insurance and costs of accounting and internal control systems to support our operations and a services fee for our portion of certain expenses shared across all segments of Emdeon.
 
Our discussions throughout this MD&A reference certain non-cash expenses. The following is a summary of our principal non-cash expenses:
 
  •  Non-cash advertising expense.  Expense related to the use of our prepaid advertising inventory that we received from News Corporation in exchange for equity instruments that Emdeon issued in connection with an agreement it entered into with News Corporation in 1999 and subsequently amended in 2000. This non-cash advertising expense is included in cost of operations when we utilize this advertising inventory in conjunction with offline advertising and sponsorship programs and is included in sales and marketing expense when we use the asset for promotion of our brand. The portion of the non-cash expense that is reflected in sales and marketing expense is reflected net of the expense we charge to Emdeon in connection with its use of this asset. Additionally, a non-cash advertising and distribution expense was included in 2004 related to the amortization of a warrant that Emdeon issued in 2001 to AOL as part of a strategic alliance Emdeon entered into with Time Warner in May 2001, under which our company became the primary provider of healthcare content, tools and services for use on certain AOL properties.
 
  •  Non-cash stock-based compensation expense.  Expense related to awards of our restricted Class A Common Stock and awards of employee stock options, as well as awards of restricted Emdeon common stock and awards of Emdeon stock options that have been granted to certain of our employees. Expense also related to shares issued to our non-employee directors. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is reflected in the same expense captions as the related salary costs of the respective employees.
 
The following table is a summary of our non-cash expenses included in the respective statements of operations captions.

The following discussion is a comparison of our results of operations on a consolidated basis for the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005.


13


 

 
Revenue
 
Our total revenue increased 50.3% to $253,881 in 2006 from $168,938 in 2005. Online Services accounted for $77,465 or 91.2% of the revenue increase for 2006. Publishing and Other Services accounted for $7,478 or 8.8% of the revenue increase for 2006. Excluding the impact of the 2006 and 2005 acquisitions on revenue, total revenue increased approximately $55,000 or 32% organically from 2005 to 2006.
 
Costs and Expenses
 
Cost of Operations.  Cost of operations increased to $106,387 in 2006 from $70,538 in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, cost of operations was 41.9% in 2006, compared to 41.8% in 2005. Included in cost of operations were non-cash expenses of $8,744 in 2006 and $730 in 2005. The increase in non-cash expenses during 2006 compared to last year was primarily related to stock-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Cost of operations, excluding non-cash expense, was $97,643 or 38.5% of revenue in 2006, compared to $69,808 or 41.3% of revenue in 2005. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to our ability to achieve the increase in revenue without incurring a proportional increase in cost of operations expenses. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to increases in compensation related costs due to higher staffing levels and outside personnel expenses relating to our Web site operations and development. Higher costs associated with creating and licensing our content, increased production costs related to the timing of WebMD the Magazine which shipped larger issues in 2006 compared with 2005 and expenses relating to our acquisitions also contributed to the increase. Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2005 included approximately $700 of severance costs.
 
Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expense increased to $76,189 in 2006 from $51,756 in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing was 30.0% for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 30.6% in the same period last year. Included in sales and marketing expense in 2006 were non-cash expenses related to advertising of $7,415, a decrease from $8,656 in 2005. The decrease in non-cash advertising expenses was due to lower utilization of our prepaid advertising inventory. We allocated $1,877 of advertising expense in 2005 to Emdeon related to its utilization of this asset. As discussed elsewhere in this MD&A document, our non-cash advertising expense is reflected net of what is charged to Emdeon for its utilization of the prepaid advertising. On August 5, 2005, Emdeon and other businesses of Emdeon began to use “Emdeon” as their primary brand, instead of “WebMD.” Accordingly, we no longer allocate any advertising expense to Emdeon, or other businesses of Emdeon, related to any advertising that promotes the WebMD brand. Also included in sales and marketing expense were non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation expense of $5,870 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $368 in the same period last year. The increase in non-cash expenses during 2006 compared to last year was primarily related to stock-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Sales and marketing expense, excluding non-cash expenses, was $62,904 or 24.8% of revenue in 2006, compared to $42,732 or 25.3% of revenue in 2005. The decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2006 was primarily due to our ability to achieve the increase in revenue without incurring a proportional increase in sales and marketing expense. The increase in absolute dollars in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily attributable to increases in compensation related costs due to increased staffing and sales commissions related to higher revenue and to expenses related to our acquisitions. Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2005 included approximately $250 of severance costs.
 
General and Administrative.  General and administrative expense increased to $52,338 in 2006 from $29,550 in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses was 20.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 17.5% in the same period last year. Included in general and administrative expense were non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation expense of $12,083 in 2006 and $1,553 in 2005. The increase in stock-based compensation expense primarily related to the adoption of SFAS 123R. General and administrative expense, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense discussed above, was $40,255 or 15.9% of revenue in 2006 compared to $27,997 or 16.6% of revenue in 2005. The decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily due to our ability to achieve the increase in revenue without incurring a proportional increase in general and administrative expense. The increase in absolute dollars in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily attributable to higher staffing levels and increased expenses related to our acquisitions and public company related costs.

Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2005 included a charge of approximately $2,200 related to the resignation of our former CEO and recruitment of our Executive Vice President of Product and Programming and Chief Technology Officer.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $17,647 in 2006 from $10,653 in 2005. The increase over the prior year was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets relating to the Subimo, Summex, eMedicine, Conceptis and Medsite acquisitions, as well as the increase in depreciation expense relating to capital expenditures in 2006 and 2005.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income of $5,099 in 2006 and $1,790 in 2005 relates to our investment of excess cash including a portion of the proceeds from our IPO.
 
Income Tax Provision.  The income tax provision of $3,883 and $1,666 for 2006 and 2005, respectively, includes expense related to federal, state and other jurisdictions including a deferred tax expense related to a portion of our goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes.
 
2005 and 2004
 
The following discussion is a comparison of our results of operations on a consolidated basis for the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004.

Our total revenue increased 25.9% to $168,938 in 2005, from $134,148 in 2004. Online Services accounted for $32,013 or 92.0% of the revenue increase for 2005. Publishing and Other Services accounted for $2,777 or 8.0% of the revenue increase for 2005. Our revenue from customers acquired through our acquisitions in 2005 and 2004 contributed $10,538 to the overall increase in revenue for 2005. Our content syndication revenue and earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005 also reflected a $11,000 decline relating to the expiration in January 2005 of our content syndication agreement with News Corporation, which had no corresponding incremental expenses.
 
Costs and Expenses
 
Cost of Operations.  Cost of operations increased to $70,538 in 2005 from $52,377 in 2004. As a percentage of revenue, cost of operations was 41.8% in 2005, compared to 39.0% in 2004. The increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to a change in revenue mix, as the News Corporation content syndication revenue, which had no corresponding incremental expenses, was replaced with revenue that has normal cost of operations. In addition, the increase was attributable to increases in compensation related costs due to higher staffing levels and outside personnel expenses relating to our Web site operations, non-capitalized Web site development costs, increased costs associated with creating and licensing our content and severance costs of approximately $700. Included in cost of operations were non-cash advertising costs of $336 in 2005 and $901 in 2004 related to the sale and fulfillment of offline advertising.
 
Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expense increased to $51,756 in 2005 from $47,358 in 2004. Included in sales and marketing expense in 2005 were non-cash expenses related to advertising and distribution services of $8,656, a decrease from $11,246 in 2004. The decrease in non-cash expenses was due to lower advertising expense related to our utilization of our prepaid advertising inventory as well as a decline in the expense related to our distribution arrangement with AOL, which was fully amortized in May 2004. We allocated $1,877 of advertising expense in 2005 to Emdeon related to its utilization of this asset as compared to $4,702 in 2004. As discussed elsewhere in this MD&A, our non-cash advertising expense is reflected net of what is charged to Emdeon for its utilization of the prepaid advertising. On August 5, 2005, Emdeon and other businesses of Emdeon began to use “Emdeon” as their primary brand, instead of “WebMD.” Accordingly, we will no longer allocate any advertising expense to Emdeon, or other businesses of Emdeon, related to any advertising that promotes the WebMD brand. Sales and marketing expense, excluding non-cash advertising and distribution expense, was $43,100 or 25.5% of revenue in 2005, compared to $36,112 or 26.9% of revenue in 2004. Although we experienced increases in compensation related costs due to increased staffing and sales


15


 

commissions related to higher revenue, the decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2005 was primarily due to our ability to achieve the increase in revenue without incurring a proportional increase in expenses. This was due to the fact that, with the exception of increased staffing and additional sales commissions, incremental revenue generally did not require additional sales and marketing expenses.
 
General and Administrative.  General and administrative expense increased to $29,550 in 2005 from $22,122 in 2004. Included in general and administrative expense were non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation expense of $1,553 in 2005 and $636 in 2004. The increase in stock-based compensation expense primarily related to restricted stock issued in conjunction with the IPO. General and administrative expense, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense discussed above, was $27,997 or 16.6% of revenue in 2005 compared to $21,486 or 16.0% of revenue in 2004. The increase compared to last year was primarily due to increases in personnel related expenses, including the increases as a result of acquisitions which were completed in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 and approximately $2,200 of expense in connection with the resignation of our former CEO and recruitment of our Executive Vice President of Product and Programming and Chief Technology Officer. These items were partially offset by the elimination of expense related to the termination of a sponsorship agreement in 2004.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $10,653 in 2005 from $5,620 in 2004. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets relating to the 2005 Acquisitions and the 2004 Acquisitions as well as the increase in depreciation expense relating to the build out of our new corporate offices, which we completed in June 2005.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income relates to our investment of a portion of the proceeds from our IPO and a portion of the $40,000 cash capital contribution from Emdeon in U.S. Treasury Notes and auction rate securities.
 
Income Tax Provision.  The income tax provision of $1,666 and $1,254 for 2005 and 2004, respectively, includes expense and benefits related to federal, state and other jurisdictions including an annual projected deferred tax expense related to a portion of our goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes.
 
Results of Operations by Operating Segment
 
We monitor the performance of our business based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items. Other non-cash items include non-cash advertising and distribution expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Corporate and other overhead functions are allocated to segments on a specifically identifiable basis or other reasonable method of allocation. We consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of costs incurred. We do not disaggregate assets for internal management reporting and, therefore, such information is not presented. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions.

2006 and 2005
 
The following discussion is a comparison of the results of operations for our two operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Online Services.  Revenue was $229,765 in 2006, an increase of $77,465 or 50.9% from 2005. Advertising and sponsorship revenue increased $60,649 or 55.1% in 2006 compared to 2005. The increase in advertising and sponsorship revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of brands and sponsored programs promoted on our sites as well as the acquisitions of Conceptis in December 2005, eMedicine in January 2006 and Medsite in September 2006. The acquisitions of Conceptis, eMedicine and Medsite contributed approximately $21,200 of advertising and sponsorship revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. Including the Conceptis, eMedicine and Medsite acquisitions, the number of such programs grew to approximately 800 in 2006 compared to approximately 570 in 2005. Licensing revenue increased $21,508 or 63.0% in 2006 compared to 2005. This increase was due to an increase in the number of companies using our private portal platform to 99 from 78 last year. We also have approximately 150 additional customers who purchase stand alone decision support services from us as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2006. The acquisitions of Summex and Subimo contributed approximately $4,400 in licensing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. HealthShare pre-acquisition revenue not included in our results for the period from January 1, 2005 to March 13, 2005 was $1,824. Content syndication and other revenue declined $4,692 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $8,210 in 2005.
 
Our Online Services earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items was $52,324 or 22.8% of revenue in 2006, compared to $28,313 or 18.6% of revenue in 2005. This increase as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to higher revenue from the increase in number of brands and sponsored programs in our public portals as well as the increase in companies using our private online portal

without incurring a proportionate increase in overall expenses, offset by a charge of approximately $3,150 during the year ended December 31, 2005 related to the resignation of our former CEO and other personnel and the recruitment of our Executive Vice President of Product and Programming and Chief Technology Officer.
 
Publishing and Other Services.  Revenue was $24,116 in 2006, compared to $16,638 in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to our acquisition of Conceptis in December 2005, which contributed approximately $4,000 in offline medical education revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 and higher revenue from The Little Blue Book physician oriented offerings.
 
Our Publishing and Other Services earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items was $755 in 2006, compared to $88 in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to a change in mix of revenues to higher margin products compared to the same period last year.
 
2005 and 2004
 
The following discussion is a comparison of the results of operations for our two operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Online Services.  Revenue was $152,300 in 2005, an increase of $32,013 or 26.6% from 2004. The increase was related to increased advertising and sponsorship revenue related to our public portals and licensing revenue from our private online portals, offset by a decline in content syndication and other revenue primarily due to a $11,000 decline in revenue in 2005 relating to the expiration of our content syndication agreement with News Corporation in January 2005. The increase was due to the number of brands and sponsored programs promoted on our sites. The number of such programs grew to 570 in 2005 compared to 380 in 2004. Also, supporting the increase in revenue was the increase in the number of companies using our private online portal which increased to 78 from 62 companies in the prior year. Included in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $7,661 and $933 related to the acquisitions of HealthShare and Conceptis, respectively.
 
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items was $28,313 or 18.6% of revenue in 2005, compared to $24,902 or 20.7% of revenue in 2004. This decline as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to charges of approximately $3,150 related to the resignation of our former CEO and other personnel and the recruitment of our Executive Vice President of Product and Programming and Chief Technology Officer. Higher information technology, as well as higher sales and marketing expenses and the decline in content syndication revenue from News Corporation, which had no corresponding incremental expenses, also contributed to this decline. These items contributing to the decline as a percentage of revenue were offset by the elimination of expenses related to the termination of a sponsorship agreement in 2004.
 
Publishing and Other Services.  Revenue was $16,638 in 2005, compared to $13,861 in 2004. The increase was attributable to increased revenue from the launch of WebMD the Magazine and to a lesser extent the acquisition of Conceptis, offset by slight declines in our other offline publications.
 
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items was $88 in 2005, compared to $1,285 in 2004. The decrease was due to the launch of WebMD the Magazine in April 2005, as well as the decline in advertising revenue in The Little Blue Book directories.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2006, we had $54,150 of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our working capital as of December 31, 2006 was $184,394. Our working capital is affected by the timing of each period end in relation to items such as payments received from customers, payments made to vendors, and internal payroll and billing cycles, as well as the seasonality within our business. Accordingly, our working capital, and its impact on cash flow from operations, can fluctuate materially from period to period.
 
Cash provided by operating activities in 2006 was $52,801, which related to net income of $2,536, adjusted for non-cash expenses of $53,862, which included depreciation and amortization, non-cash


18


 

advertising expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and a reversal of an income tax valuation allowance applied to goodwill. Additionally, changes in working capital utilized cash flow of $3,597, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $25,430 and a change in amounts due from Emdeon of $1,568, offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $17,502 and an increase in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities of $6,698. Cash provided by operating activities in 2005 was $28,605, which related to net income of $6,565 adjusted for non-cash expenses of $23,140. Changes in working capital utilized cash flow of $1,100, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $13,974, partially offset by increases in accrued expenses of $6,323, a deferred credit related to lease incentives of $4,398 and amounts due to Emdeon of $3,672.
 
Cash used in investing activities in 2006 was $83,845, which primarily related to the acquisitions of eMedicine, Summex, Medsite and Subimo and investments in property and equipment primarily to enhance our technology platform, partially offset by net maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities of $74,774. Cash used in investing activities in 2005 was $146,606, which primarily related to net purchases of available-for-sale securities of $77,728, the acquisitions of HealthShare and Conceptis and investments in property and equipment primarily as a result of the build-out of our new corporate offices in New York.
 
Cash provided by financing activities in 2005 principally related to the proceeds received from the IPO and net cash amounts received from, or transferred to, Emdeon.
 
The following table summarizes our principal commitments as of December 31, 2006 for future specified contractual obligations that have not been accrued for in our consolidated balance sheet, as well as the estimated timing of the cash payments associated with these obligations. Management has used estimates and assumptions as to the timing of the cash flows associated with these commitments. Management’s estimates of the timing of future cash flows are largely based on historical experience, and accordingly, actual timing of cash flows may vary from these estimates.

(1) Purchase obligations include amounts committed under legally enforceable contracts or purchase orders for goods and services with defined terms as to price, quantity and delivery.
 
Potential future cash commitments not included in the specified contractual obligations table above or accrued for in our consolidated balance sheet include our anticipated 2007 capital expenditure requirements which we currently estimate at $15,000 to $20,000. Our anticipated capital expenditures primarily relate to improvements that will be deployed across our public and private portal web sites in order to enable us to service future growth in unique users, page views and private portal customers, as well as to create new sponsorship areas for our customers. We believe that our available cash resources and future cash flow from operations, will provide sufficient cash resources to meet the commitments described above and to fund our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for up to twenty-four months. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including retention of customers at current volume and revenue levels, our existing and new application and service offerings, competing technological and market developments, and potential future acquisitions. In addition, our ability to generate cash flow is subject to numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic, regulatory and other matters affecting us and our customers. We may need to raise additional funds to support expansion, develop new or enhanced applications and services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. If required, we may raise such additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such financing will not be dilutive to our stockholders. Future indebtedness may impose various restrictions

and covenants on us that could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business opportunities.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits many financial instruments and certain other items to be measured at fair value at the option of the Company. Most of the provisions in SFAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits the choice to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted provided that the choice be made in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” is also adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued 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 FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” 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 provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
Financial Statements
 
Our financial statements required by this item are contained on pages F-1 through F-41 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Item 15(a)(1) for a listing of financial statements provided.
 
Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures
 
In connection with the restatement of our financial results, which is more fully described in the Explanatory Note on page 1 to this Form 10-K/A and in Note 19 to our financial statements, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for income taxes relating to the treatment of tax deductible goodwill in the determination of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.


20


 

 
Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2006.
 
As of May 4, 2007, we implemented new procedures, including improved documentation and analysis regarding the reversal pattern of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. We believe these new procedures enable us to comply with the requirements related to the accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances. In so doing, management has remediated the related internal control weakness. In connection with this amended Form 10-K, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as in effect on the date of this amendment, including the remedial actions discussed above, and we have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), WebMD management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that there were no changes in WebMD’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(f), occurred during the fourth quarter of 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, WebMD’s internal control over financial reporting, except for changes in internal controls in connection with: the continuing conversion by WebMD to a new enterprise resource planning system (including new accounting software). During the fourth quarter of 2006, WebMD continued the implementation of a new third party enterprise resource planning system which it began to implement earlier in 2006. As a result, certain business processes and accounting procedures of WebMD have changed. These changes were made in accordance with WebMD’s plan to implement separate systems from those of Emdeon and not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in WebMD’s or Emdeon’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
(AS RESTATED)
 
The management of WebMD Health Corp. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal over financial reporting for the Company. With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed on March 2, 2007, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. Subsequently, management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for income taxes relating to the treatment of tax deductible goodwill in the determination of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
 
This material weakness resulted in this amendment to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, in order to restate the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and to restate financial information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and each of the quarters in 2006 and 2005.
 
Solely as a result of this material weakness, the Company’s management has revised its earlier assessment and has now concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2006.
 
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Financial Statements”) include: the results of Summex Corporation (“Summex”) from June 13, 2006, the date of its acquisition by the Company; the results of businesses acquired from Medsite, Inc. (“Medsite”) from September 11, 2006, the date of the Company’s acquisitions of those assets and assumption of related liabilities; and the results of Subimo, LLC (“Subimo”) from December 15, 2006, the date of its acquisition by the Company. Those acquisitions are described in Note 5 of the Financial Statements under the caption “2006 Acquisitions.” However, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting of the Company does not include an assessment of internal control over financial reporting of Summex, Medsite or Subimo, which together constituted 24.2% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2006 and 3.6% of the Company’s revenues for the year then ended.
 
The Company’s independent auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on the Company’s revised management’s assessment on its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. That report appears on page F-3.
 
As of May 4, 2007, the Company implemented new procedures, including improved documentation and analysis regarding the reversal pattern of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. The Company’s management believes these new procedures enable the Company to comply with the requirements related to the accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Management believes these new procedures have remediated the internal control weakness.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
WebMD Health Corp.
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (as restated), that WebMD Health Corp. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, because of the effect of WebMD Health Corp.’s material weakness relating to its internal controls over the accounting for income taxes, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). WebMD Health Corp.’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. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of 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, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, 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.
 
As indicated in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Summex Corporation, Medsite, Inc. and Subimo, LLC, which are included in the 2006 consolidated financial statements of WebMD Health Corp. from the date of their acquisitions on June 13, 2006, September 11, 2006 and December 15, 2006, respectively, and together constituted 24.2% of total assets as of December 31, 2006 and 3.6% of revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of WebMD Health Corp. also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Summex Corporation, Medsite, Inc. and Subimo, LLC.
 
In our report dated March 1, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s previous assessment that WebMD Health Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 and an unqualified opinion that WebMD Health Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based upon the COSO criteria. Management has subsequently determined that a deficiency in controls relating to the accounting for income


F-3


 

taxes existed as of the previous assessment date, and has further concluded that such deficiency represented a material weakness as of December 31, 2006. As a result, management revised its assessment, as presented in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (as restated), to conclude that WebMD Health Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2006. Accordingly, our present opinion on the effectiveness of WebMD Health Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, as expressed herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.
 
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. WebMD Health Corp. identified a material weakness related to its internal control over the accounting for income taxes relating to the treatment of tax deductible goodwill in the determination of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
 
The material weakness resulted in the restatement of WebMD Health Corp.’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2006 consolidated financial statements and this report does not affect our report dated March 1, 2007, except for Note 19, as to which the date is May 9, 2007, on those consolidated financial statements (as restated).
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that WebMD Health Corp. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, WebMD Health Corp. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statement referring to the remediation of the material weakness.

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, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and owner’s net investment, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). 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, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, 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 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial statement schedule have been restated.
 
As discussed in Note 2 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.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of WebMD Health Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 1, 2007, except for the effects of the material weakness described in the seventh paragraph of that report, as to which the date is May 9, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

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 has traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “WBMD” since September 29, 2005 and now trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Prior to the date of the IPO, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emdeon Corporation (“Emdeon”) and its consolidated financial statements had been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Emdeon, principally representing the WebMD segment, using the historical results of operations, and historical basis of assets and liabilities of the WebMD related businesses. Since the completion of the IPO, the Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Emdeon, which currently owns 84.6% of the equity of the Company. 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 Emdeon represented, as of December 31, 2006, 96.5% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
 
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to correct the previously reported income tax provision which is more fully described in Note 19, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements”.
 
Business
 
The Company provides health information services to consumers, physicians and other healthcare professionals, employers and health plans through the Company’s public and private online portals and health-focused publications. The Company’s two operating segments are:
 
  •  Online Services.  The Company provides both public and private online portals. The Company’s public portals for consumers enable them to obtain detailed information on a particular disease or condition, analyze 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. 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 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.
 
  •  Publishing and Other Services.  The Company publishes: medical reference textbooks; The Little Blue Book, a physician directory; and, since 2005, WebMD the Magazine, a consumer magazine distributed to physician office waiting rooms. The Company also conducts in-person CME as a result of the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis Technologies, Inc. in December 2005.

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 Emdeon have been identified in the consolidated financial statements as transactions with Emdeon (see Note 4).
 
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.
 
Seasonality
 
The timing of the Company’s revenue is affected by seasonal factors. Advertising and sponsorship revenue within the Online Services segment are seasonal, primarily as a result of the annual budget approval process of the advertising and sponsorship clients of the public portals. 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 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. Finally, the annual distribution cycle within the Publishing and Other Services segment results in a significant portion of the Company’s revenue in this segment being recognized in the second and third quarter of each calendar year.
 
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 provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued expenses and contingencies, share-based compensation to employees and transactions with Emdeon.

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.
 
Marketable Securities
 
The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classifications at each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, all marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale and were primarily invested in U.S. Treasury Notes and auction rate securities. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. 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 $8,027 and $359 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 $719 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Depreciation expense related to internal use software in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was not material.
 
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 $11,543 and $1,222 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 $444 during the year ended December 31, 2006. There was no depreciation expense related to Web site development in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

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
  2 to 5 years
Customer relationships
  2 to 12 years
Acquired technology and patents
  3 years
Trade names
  3 to 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 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,” 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.
 
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 is derived from the Company’s Online Services and Publishing and Other Services segments:
 
  •  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.
 
  •  Publishing and Other Services.  The Company generates revenue from sales of subscriptions to its medical reference publications, 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 generates revenue from in-person CME programs.
 
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. Subscription revenue is recognized over the subscription period. 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 replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and supersedes 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. The portion of stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $21,794.

WEBMD HEALTH CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 expense with respect to 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. 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 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.
 
The following table summarizes the components and classification of stock-based compensation expense:
 
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
    2006     2005     2004  
 
Emdeon Plans:

Total stock-based compensation expense
  $ 26,697     $ 2,315     $ 1,749  
                         
Included in:
                       
Cost of operations
  $ 8,744     $ 394     $ 498  
Sales and marketing
    5,870       368       615  
General and administrative
    12,083       1,553       636  
                         
Total stock-based compensation expense
  $ 26,697     $ 2,315     $ 1,749  
                         
 
No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $2,931 and $42,982 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.92 years and 2.05 years, related to the Emdeon Plans, and the Company’s Plan, respectively.

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 $12,533, $13,156 and $13,920 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in these amounts are non-cash advertising costs of $7,415, $8,656 and $9,302 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to the advertising services received from News Corporation.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
None of the Company’s customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2006, 2005 or 2004 or more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004.
 
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 $3,475 and $405 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
The Company places its short-term investments in a variety of financial instruments and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure through diversification and by restricting its investments to highly rated securities.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for 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. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 
Income Per Common Share
 
Basic and diluted income per common share are presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic income per common share has been computed using the

Included in basic and diluted shares is the impact of shares to be issued pursuant to the purchase agreement of Subimo, LLC (see Note 5 — Business Combinations). The Company deferred the issuance of 640,930 shares of Class A common stock (“Deferred Shares”) until December 2008. A portion of these shares may be further deferred until December 2010 subject to certain conditions. A maximum of 246,508 of the Deferred Shares may be used to settle any outstanding claims or warranties the Company may have against the seller. For purposes of calculating basic net income per share, the weighted average impact of 394,422 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.
 
The Company has excluded certain outstanding stock options from the calculation of diluted income per common share because such securities were anti-dilutive during the periods presented. The total number of shares excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share was 749,328 and 328,900 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There were no shares excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits many financial instruments and certain other items to be measured at fair value at the option of the Company. Most of the provisions in SFAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits the choice to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for the first fiscal year beginning

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted provided that the choice be made in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” is also adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued 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 FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” 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 provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
 
3.  Stockholders’ Equity
 
Initial Public Offering
 
The Company was a subsidiary of and wholly owned by Emdeon through September 28, 2005. The Company’s Class A Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol “WBMD” on September 29, 2005. The Company closed and received proceeds from the IPO on October 4, 2005. The IPO consisted of 7,935,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Since the IPO, Emdeon has continued to own all 48,100,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, representing 84.6% as of December 31, 2006 of the Company’s outstanding common stock and 96.5% as of December 31, 2006 of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Each share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock is convertible at Emdeon’s option into one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, shares of the Class B Common Stock will automatically be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A Common Stock on a transfer to any person other than a majority owned subsidiary of Emdeon or a successor of Emdeon. On the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the IPO, all then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will automatically be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A Common Stock. See Note 4 for a description of certain agreements governing the relationships between Emdeon and the Company following the IPO.
 
The Company received proceeds from the IPO of $125,392, net of underwriting discounts of $9,721 and costs of the IPO. The costs of the IPO, not including the underwriting discounts, were approximately $5,800. Approximately $2,000 of this amount was paid by Emdeon prior to the IPO.

4.   Transactions with Emdeon
 
Agreements with Emdeon
 
In connection with the IPO in September 2005, the Company entered into a number of agreements with Emdeon 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 Emdeon providing the Company 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 has agreed to reimburse Emdeon an amount that reasonably approximates Emdeon’s cost of providing services to the Company. Emdeon 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 Emdeon 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 Emdeon 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 January 31, 2006, the Company entered into additional agreements with Emdeon 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. The new agreements cover a term of five years.
 
On February 15, 2006, the Tax Sharing Agreement was amended to provide that Emdeon will compensate the Company for any use of the Company’s net operating losses that may result from certain extraordinary transactions, as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement, including a sale by Emdeon of its Business Services and Practice Services operating segments.
 
On September 14, 2006, Emdeon completed the sale of Emdeon Practice Services (“EPS”) segment for approximately $565,000 in cash. On November 16, 2006, Emdeon completed the sale of a 52% interest in its Emdeon Business Services (“EBS”) segment for approximately $1,200,000 in cash. Emdeon recognized a taxable gain on the sale of its Emdeon Practice Services and Business Services segments and expects to utilize a portion of its federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to offset the gain on these transactions. Under the tax sharing agreement between Emdeon and the Company, the Company was reimbursed for any of its NOL carryforwards utilized by Emdeon in these transactions at the current federal statutory rate of 35%. In February 2007, Emdeon reimbursed the Company $140,000 as an estimate of the payment required pursuant to the tax sharing agreement with respect to the EPS Sale and the EBS Sale which amount is subject to adjustment in connection with the filing of the applicable tax returns. This reimbursement was recorded as a capital contribution which increased additional paid-in-capital at December 31, 2006.
 
Charges from the Company to Emdeon:
 
Revenue:  The Company sells certain of its products and services to Emdeon businesses. These amounts are included in revenue during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company charges Emdeon rates comparable to those charged to third parties for similar products and services.
 
Advertising Expense:  During 2004 and 2005, the Company allocated costs to Emdeon based on its utilization of the Company’s advertising services. This charge included a proportional allocation based on the number of Emdeon operating segments identified in each advertisement and an allocation of cost to Emdeon for the promotion of the WebMD brand prior to Emdeon’s name change. On August 5, 2005, Emdeon and other businesses of Emdeon began to use “Emdeon” as their primary brand, instead of “WebMD.” Accordingly, the Company no longer allocates any advertising expense to Emdeon, or other businesses of

Emdeon, related to any advertising that promotes the WebMD brand. The Company’s portion of the advertising services utilized is included in sales and marketing expense within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and is reported net of amounts charged to Emdeon.
 
Charges from Emdeon to the Company:
 
Corporate Services:  The Company is charged a services fee (the “Services Fee”) for costs related to corporate services provided by Emdeon. The services that Emdeon 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 Emdeon for an allocated portion of certain expenses that Emdeon incurs for outside services and similar items, including insurance fees, outside personnel, facilities costs, professional fees, software maintenance fees and telecommunication costs. Emdeon 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 Emdeon 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 Emdeon used to determine these expense allocations required management to make certain judgments and assumptions. These cost allocations are reflected in the table below under the caption “Corporate services — shared services allocation”. Prior to the IPO, the Services Fee also included costs identified for dedicated employees managed centrally by Emdeon for certain of its functions across all of its segments. This portion of the Services Fee charged for dedicated employees included a charge for their salaries, plus an overhead charge for these employees calculated based on a pro rata portion of their salaries to total salaries within the function. The amount reflected in the table below under the caption “Corporate services — specific identification” reflects the costs for these employees through their date of transfer. 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 Emdeon’s healthcare plans. Healthcare expense is charged based on the number of total employees of the Company and reflects Emdeon’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 Emdeon’s Common Stock that have been granted to certain employees of the Company. Stock-based compensation expenses are allocated on a specific employee identification basis. The expense is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the same expense captions as the related salary costs of those employees. The allocation of stock-based compensation expense related to Emdeon’s Common Stock is recorded as a capital contribution in additional paid-in capital.
 
The following table summarizes the allocations reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

In connection with the strategic alliance, Emdeon issued to Time Warner a warrant to purchase 2,408,908 shares of Emdeon’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.25 per share. The warrant was valued at approximately $17,500 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was amortized through May 2004, the original term of the agreement, as a non-cash distribution expense included in sales and marketing expense.
 
The original term of the agreement was for three years expiring in May 2004. The Company had the right to extend the original agreement for an additional three-year term under certain circumstances. The Company exercised its right to extend the contract term until May 2007. Under the terms of the extension, the Company is entitled to share in revenue and is guaranteed a minimum of $12,000 during each year of the renewal term for its share of advertising revenue.

In September 2005, the rights to these advertising services were contributed to the Company in connection with the IPO.

Additionally, the amount of advertising services that can be used in any contract year is subject to contractual limitations. The advertising services were recorded at fair value determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The remaining portion of these advertising services is included in prepaid advertising in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

7.   Segment Information
 
The Company provides health information services to consumers, physicians, healthcare professionals, employers and health plans through the Company’s public and private online portals and health-focused publications. The Company’s two operating segments are:
 
  •  Online Services.  The Company provides both public and private online portals. The Company’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. 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 CME credit and communicate with peers. 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 as a result of the acquisition of Summex on June 13, 2006.
 
  •  Publishing and Other Services.  The Company publishes medical reference textbooks; The Little Blue Book, a physician directory; and, since 2005, WebMD the Magazine, a consumer magazine distributed to physician office waiting rooms. The Company also conducts in-person medical education as a result of the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis in December 2005.
 
The performance of the Company’s business is monitored based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items. Other non-cash items include non-cash advertising expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Corporate and other overhead functions are allocated to segments on a specifically identifiable basis or other reasonable method of allocation. The Company considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of costs incurred. The Company does not disaggregate assets for internal management reporting and, therefore, such information is not presented. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles be tested for impairment at least annually or when indicators of impairment are present. SFAS No. 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 No. 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, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
 
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Legal Proceedings
 
Department of Justice and SEC Investigations of Emdeon
 
As previously disclosed, the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina is conducting an investigation of Emdeon, which Emdeon first learned about on September 3, 2003. Based on the information available to Emdeon, it believes that the investigation relates principally to issues of financial accounting improprieties for Medical Manager Corporation, a predecessor of Emdeon (by its merger into Emdeon 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 Emdeon sold to Sage Software in September 2006.
 
While Emdeon 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. Emdeon 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. Emdeon has been cooperating and intends to continue to cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Emdeon’s Board of Directors has formed a Special Committee consisting solely of independent directors to


F-29


 

 
WEBMD HEALTH CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

oversee this matter, with the sole authority to direct Emdeon’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 Emdeon 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 Emdeon, who was most recently employed by Emdeon 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, Emdeon 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. Emdeon understands, however, that in light of the nature of the allegations involved, the U.S. Attorney’s office has been investigating all levels of Emdeon’s management. Some members of the Company’s senior management are also serving or have served as members of senior management of Emdeon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.
 
Emdeon understands that the SEC is also conducting a formal investigation into this matter.
 
The terms of an indemnity agreement between Emdeon and the Company provide that Emdeon will indemnify the Company against any and all liabilities arising from or based on this investigation.
 
Ari Weitzner, M.D., P.C. et al. v. National Physicians Datasource LLC
 
As previously disclosed, on May 24, 2005, Dr. Ari Weitzner individually, and as a class action, filed a lawsuit under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”), in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, against National Physicians Datasource LLC (“NPD”), which is currently a subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit claimed that faxes allegedly sent by NPD, which publishes The Little Blue Book, were sent in violation of the TCPA. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the suit, with prejudice, on November 8, 2006.
 
Anthony Vlastaris, et al. v. WebMD Publishing Services
 
On September 25, 2006, Anthony Vlastaris, Brian Kressin, and Richard Cohen filed a lawsuit individually, and as a class action, under the TCPA, in the Ohio Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County. The lawsuit claimed that the defendant sent faxes to the plaintiffs allegedly in violation of the TCPA. The defendant in the suit was named as “WebMD Publishing Services,” an entity that does not exist. Because the suit was served on NPD at its location in Connecticut and because NPD is the publisher of The Little Blue Book, NPD responded — by removing the lawsuit to the United States District Court, Northern District Court of Ohio, on October 24, 2006. After removal to federal court, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the class-action complaint and refiled a new suit in state court that was not a class action. NPD then settled the suit with the plaintiffs on December 28, 2006. The suit has been dismissed.
 
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, and those discussed above, 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.
 
Leases
 
During 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year and ten month lease agreement for its 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 $4,439 and $4,398 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2015. Total rent expense for all operating leases was approximately $4,808, $4,675 and $2,818 in 2006, 2005

and 2004, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under non-cancelable lease agreements at December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Thereafter

Total minimum lease payments

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 Emdeon Common Stock and restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Emdeon’s Common Stock. The following sections of this note summarize the activity for each of these plans.
 
Emdeon Plans
 
Certain WebMD employees participate in the stock-based compensation plans of Emdeon (collectively, “Emdeon Plans”). Under the Emdeon Plans certain of the Company employees have received grants of options to purchase Emdeon common stock and restricted Emdeon common stock. Additionally, all eligible WebMD employees are provided the opportunity to participate in Emdeon’s employee stock purchase plan. All unvested options to purchase Emdeon common stock and restricted Emdeon 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 5,782,723 shares of Emdeon common stock remained available for grant under the Emdeon Plans at December 31, 2006.
 
Stock Options
 
Generally, options under the Emdeon 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 Emdeon Plans expire within ten years from the date of grant. Options are granted at prices not less than the fair market value of Emdeon’s Common Stock on the date of

Restricted Stock Awards:  Emdeon Restricted Stock consists of shares of Emdeon Common Stock which have been granted to the Company’s employees. The grants are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the employee until they vest. Generally, Emdeon Restricted Stock awards vest ratably over a three to five year period based on their individual award dates subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. The following table summarizes the activity of non-vested Emdeon Restricted Stock relating to the Company’s employees for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

However, these tax benefits were not realized due to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards.
 
WebMD Plans
 
During September 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Company’s Plan”). In connection with the acquisition of Subimo, LLC in December 2006, the Company adopted the WebMD Health Corp. Long-Term Incentive Plan for Employees of Subimo, LLC (the “Subimo Plan”). The terms of the Subimo Plan are similar to the terms of the Company’s Plan but it has not been approved by the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Company’s stockholders. Awards under the Subimo Plan will be made in reliance on the NASDAQ Stock Market exception to shareholder approval for equity grants to new hires. The Company’s Plan and the Subimo Plan are included in all references as the “WebMD Plans.” The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that may be subject to options or restricted stock awards under the WebMD Plans is 7,630,574, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the WebMD Plans. The Company had an aggregate of 1,391,670 shares of Class A Common Stock available for grant under the WebMD Plans at December 31, 2006. During 2006, WebMD stock options were exercised and restricted stock awards were released in accordance with the Company’s Plan.
 
Stock Options
 
Generally, options under the WebMD Plans vest and become exercisable ratably over a four-year period based on their individual grant dates subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. The options granted under the WebMD Plans expire within ten years from the date of grant. Options are granted at prices not less than the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from traded options of stock of comparable companies combined with historical stock price volatility of comparable companies. 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:  The Company’s Restricted Stock consists of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock which have been awarded to employees. The grants are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the employee until they vest. Generally, the Company’s Restricted Stock awards vest ratably over a four year period from their individual award dates subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates.

options, as well as the fair value of shares of the Company’s Restricted Stock that vested was $9,115 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The intrinsic value of these stock options and shares of Restricted Stock awards are deductible for tax purposes, subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, these tax benefits were not realized due to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards.
 
Other
 
In addition, at the time of the IPO and subsequently on the first anniversary, the Company issued shares of its Class A Common Stock to each non-employee director with a value equal to their annual board and committee retainers. The Company recorded $340 and $85 of stock-based compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, in connection with these issuances.
 
Additionally, the Company recorded $69 of stock-based compensation expense during 2006 in connection with a stock transferability right for shares required to be issued in connection with the acquisition of Subimo, LLC. by the Company.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
Emdeon’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows eligible employees of the Company the opportunity to purchase shares of Emdeon’s Common Stock through payroll deductions, up to 15% of a participant’s annual compensation with a maximum of 5,000 shares available per participant during each purchase period. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the fair market value on the last day of each purchase period. Emdeon Common Stock was issued to the Company’s employees under Emdeon’s ESPP. There were 54,822, 59,862 and 37,876 shares issued to the Company’s employees under Emdeon’s ESPP during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
13.   Retirement Plans
 
Emdeon maintains a defined contribution retirement plan (the “Retirement Plan”) that covers substantially all of the Company’s employees. This Retirement Plan provides for discretionary contributions and during 2005 was amended to provide for matching contributions. Prior to 2005 this Retirement Plan did not provide for Company matching. The Company has recorded expense related to this Retirement Plan of $666 and $404 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
14.   Income Taxes
 
The Company’s results of operations have been included in Emdeon’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 Emdeon 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

As of December 31, 2006, a valuation allowance has been provided against all net deferred taxes, except for a deferred tax liability originating from the Company’s business combinations that resulted in tax deductible goodwill which are indefinite as to when such liability will reverse. The valuation allowance was established because of the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to a lack of sufficient earnings history. Realization is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards in future periods. Although realization is not currently assured, management evaluates the need for a valuation allowance each quarter, and in the future, should management determine that realization of net deferred tax assets is more likely than not, some or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed, and the Company’s effective tax rate may be reduced. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by $2,748 and increased by $6,964 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
On a separate return basis, as of December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $675,878, which expire in 2007 through 2026, and federal tax credits of approximately $2,060, which expire in 2007 through 2027. Approximately $203,761 and $27,612 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-


F-39


 

 
WEBMD HEALTH CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 current year stock option exercises subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123(R) of $34,404 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 will be 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, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $247,084 which expire in 2011 through 2026 and federal tax credits of approximately $2,060, which expire in 2007 through 2027. These amounts reflect the utilization of approximately $430,000 of net operating loss carryforwards by the Emdeon consolidated group as a result of the sale of certain Emdeon businesses. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement between Emdeon and the Company, Emdeon reimbursed the Company $140,000 as an estimate of the required payment due to the Company for the utilization of our net operating losses.
 
Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to manner and order in which net operating loss carryforwards are utilized when filing consolidated tax returns, a portion of the Company’s actual net operating loss carryforwards may be required to be utilized by Emdeon before Emdeon would be permitted to utilize its own net operating loss carryforwards. Correspondingly, in some situations, such as where Emdeon’s net operating loss carryforwards were the first to be generated, the Company may be required to utilize a portion of Emdeon’s net operating loss carryforwards before the Company would have to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards.
 
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 Company has profitable operations in certain states in which the Company does not have net operating losses to offset that income. Accordingly, the Company provided for taxes of $1,731, $486, and $210 related to state and other jurisdictions during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The deferred income tax provision of $2,010, $1,180 and $1,044 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relates to the effect on the valuation allowance of goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the income tax provision in 2006 includes a non-cash provision for state taxes of $94 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 Emdeon balance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
15.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The estimated fair values have been determined using available market information. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The gross unrealized losses related to short-term investments of $112 were primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of debt securities as a result of an increase in interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company determined that the gross unrealized losses on its short-term investments at December 31, 2005 were temporary in nature. The Company reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, credit quality and the Company’s ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
 
The amortized cost and estimated fair value by maturity of securities are shown in the following table.

19.  Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The Company identified an error in its accounting for non-cash income tax expense and related deferred taxes. The error relates to the tax impact of goodwill arising from certain business combinations which is amortized as an expense for tax purposes over 15 years but is not amortized to expense for financial reporting purposes since the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as of January 1, 2002. The Company recorded a deferred income tax expense and a deferred tax liability related to the tax-deductible goodwill. However, in preparing the financial statements, the Company incorrectly netted the deferred tax liability resulting from the amortization of tax deductible goodwill against deferred tax assets (primarily relating to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards) and provided a valuation allowance on the net asset balance. Because the deferred tax liability has an indefinite life, it should not have been netted against deferred tax assets with a definite life when determining the required valuation allowance. As a result, the Company did not record the appropriate valuation allowance and related deferred income tax expense. The deferred tax liability described above will remain on the balance sheet of the Company indefinitely unless there is an impairment of goodwill for financial reporting purposes or the related business entity is disposed of through a sale or otherwise
 
The error resulted in an understatement of deferred income tax expense and related deferred tax liabilities and an overstatement of net income in an aggregate amount of $4,234 in the Company’s audited financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The error also resulted in an understatement of deferred income tax expense and related deferred tax liabilities and an overstatement of net income in an aggregate amount of $1,133 in the Company’s financial statements for the years prior to 2004. The correction had no effect on the Company’s revenue, pre-tax operating results, total assets, cash flow or liquidity for any period.
 
The effects of this change on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:
