Healthaxis Inc.

Healthaxis Receives NASDAQ Notice of Non-Compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Healthaxis Inc. (NASDAQ: HAXS) announced today that on September 18, 2008, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") stating that the Company had not regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4), and that, accordingly, the Company’s securities are subject to delisting unless the Company requests a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). As previously announced, NASDAQ notified the Company on March 20, 2008, that the Company was not compliant with the minimum bid price rule and that the Company had been afforded 180 calendar days, or until September 16, 2008, to achieve compliance. The Company intends to request a hearing with the Panel at which it will present its plan for demonstrating compliance with all applicable listing requirements. As a result, the Company’s securities will remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market at least until the Panel renders its decision following the hearing. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.

It is expected that the Company’s plan to regain compliance to be presented to the panel will incorporate the benefits of the pending merger with BPO Management Services Inc. (OTCBB: BPOM) as announced on September 8, 2008. Under the terms of the transaction, shares of various classes of BPOMS stock will be exchanged for a mix of shares of Healthaxis stock based on various fixed exchange ratios. Upon completion of the transaction and on a fully diluted basis, BPOMS securityholders will own about 80% of the resulting publicly-held company and Healthaxis securityholders will own about 20% of the company. Healthaxis will effect a reverse stock split in connection with the closing of the transaction. As a result of the transaction, Healthaxis will become the Healthcare division of BPOMS, complementing BPOMS’ existing operations for Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO), Enterprise Content Management (ECM), and IT infrastructure outsourcing (ITO). As a result of the transaction, the combined company is projected to have an annual revenue run rate of approximately $50 million, over 400 customers, in excess of 350 employees, and operations in the United States, Canada, Jamaica, India, and Russia.
