Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $6,800,000 as compared to $2,507,000 in the year-ago period. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Online Benefits, Inc., which the Company completed in August 2006. On a pro forma basis, reflecting Online Benefits as if it had been consolidated for the entire period, revenue for the fourth quarter increased approximately 12% from $6,063,000 in the year-ago period and approximately 12% sequentially from $6,072,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. The fourth quarter 2006 included $245,000 in revenues for two large book shipments.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $16,500,000 as compared to $10,054,000 in the year-ago period, an increase of 64%.

Operating income for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,000,000 and $3,100,000, respectively. For the fourth quarter and year, operating income was reduced by one-time charges of $500,000 in the fourth quarter related to employee severance costs. Non-GAAP, adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter and year, which excludes the aforementioned severance charges, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and amortization of purchase intangibles, was $1,700,000 and $4,000,000, respectively. Non-GAAP, adjusted operating margin was 25% and 24% for the fourth quarter and year, respectively.

Net income for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 was $300,000 and $2,500,000, respectively.

2007 Outlook

The following statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the section titled, “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this press release for a complete description of risks. The Company’s quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission also provide a more detailed description of risk factors.

The company has now fully integrated the acquisition of Online Benefits and the first of a three phase launch of our next generation product, Benergy 2G!, is expected to begin in early second quarter, 2007. The company is revising its financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2007 to $26 – $28 million of revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $6 – $7 million. The company defines Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For the year ending December 31, 2006, the company’s Adjusted EBITDA was $4,900,000.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted operating income represents operating income before severance costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and amortization of purchased intangibles. Adjusted net income represents net income before severance costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and amortization of purchased intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they are appropriate measures for evaluating our operating performance. We present these non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information regarding our performance and because they are measures by which we gauge our profitability. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as an alternative to net income. Our calculation of these financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, as a result, comparability may be limited.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations and assumptions contained in this press release are forward-looking statements. These statements,


especially revenue, net income and cash flow forecasts, involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or developments to differ materially. Factors that could affect the company’s actual results, performance or developments include general economic conditions, development of the Internet as a source of health information, pricing actions taken by competitors, demand for the company’s health information, the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, regulatory changes in laws and regulations that impact how the company conducts its business and the other factors described in A.D.A.M.’s filings with the SEC. A.D.A.M. disclaims any obligation or duty to update any of its forward-looking statements.
