PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD MAY 22, 2007

 


The 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of A.D.A.M., Inc. (the “Company”) will be held at 9:00 a.m. local time on May 22, 2007, at 1600 RiverEdge Parkway, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia, for the purposes set forth in the preceding Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The enclosed form of proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company and the cost of the solicitation will be borne by the Company. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are first being mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about April 13, 2007. The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 1600 RiverEdge Parkway, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.

Voting and Revocability of Proxies

When proxy cards are properly executed, dated and returned, the shares they represent will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholders. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for directors set forth herein. In addition, if other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by any shareholder who attends the Annual Meeting and gives oral notice of his election to vote in person, without compliance with any other formalities. In addition, any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked prior to the meeting by delivering to the Secretary of the Company an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy for the same shares bearing a later date.

Record Date and Ownership

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of March 30, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, the Company had outstanding 9,390,211 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 30, 2007 are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. No cumulative voting rights are authorized and dissenters’ rights for shareholders are not applicable to the matters being proposed.

Quorum; Required Vote; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

The presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect directors. With respect to any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, the approval of any such matter would require a greater number of votes cast in favor of the matter than the number of votes cast opposing such matter. Shares held by nominees for beneficial owners will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present if the nominee has the discretion to vote on at least one of the matters presented even if the nominee may not exercise discretionary voting power with respect to other matters and voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner (a “broker non-vote”). Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes for or against matters presented for shareholder consideration. Abstentions with respect to a proposal are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is present, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of any vote.

Expenses of Solicitation

The Company will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy card and any additional materials furnished to shareholders. Copies of proxy solicitation material will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names, which are beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. In addition, the Company may reimburse such persons for their cost of forwarding the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by use of telephone, email, telegram, facsimile or personal solicitation by the Company’s directors, officers or regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid for such services. The Company may engage the services of a professional proxy solicitation firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies from certain brokers, bank nominees and other institutional owners. Costs for such services, if retained, will not be material.

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Company presently consists of five directors divided among three classes, with the directors in each class serving staggered three-year terms. The terms of two directors, Daniel S. Howe and Mark Kishel, M.D., will expire at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Howe and Dr. Kishel are standing for reelection to the Board of Directors. Both Messrs. Howe and Kishel will serve for a term of three years, ending in 2010, and until his successor is elected and qualified.

In the event that any director nominee below withdraws or for any reason is not able to serve as director, all proxies voted in favor of such nominee will be voted for such other person as may be designated by the Board of Directors, but in no event will the proxy be voted for more than two nominees. The Board of Directors recommends the election of the two nominees listed below. Management of the Company has no reason to believe that any nominee will not serve if elected.

The following persons have been nominated for election to the Board of Directors, to serve until the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified:

Daniel S. Howe, age 47, has been a director of the Company since December 1996. Mr. Howe has served as the President of Howe Development, Inc., a real estate and investment company, since January 1990. Howe Development focuses on shopping centers, freestanding drug stores and other commercial development property in the Southeastern United States.

Mark Kishel, M.D., age 60, joined the Company’s Board of Directors in November 2001. Dr. Kishel has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Emedicine Solutions, Inc. since March 2001. Prior to serving on the Board, Dr. Kishel was Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia from 1993 until its acquisition by Wellpoint in 2001. Dr. Kishel is a board certified pediatrician and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Over the years, has served in executive medical director roles for several national insurance carriers, including Travelers, HealthAmerica and Lincoln National. He has served on the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association’s National Medical Council. Dr. Kishel also served as a director and founder of the Center for Healthcare Improvement, a collaborative research venture between the Medical College of Georgia and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, and is currently a director of the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. On January 23, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) announced the filing of an action against Dr. Kishel, a former director of Immucor, Inc. (“Immucor”), for engaging in insider trading in the securities of Immucor. The Commission alleged that while a director of Immucor, Dr. Kishel purchased securities of Immucor while in possession of material nonpublic information. In a consent filed with the Commission, Dr. Kishel agreed, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining him from future violations of the securities laws. Dr. Kishel also consented to pay disgorgement of $14,767 plus interest and a one-time civil penalty of $13,650.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is presently composed of Messrs. Scarborough (Chair) and Howe and Dr. Kishel. The Audit Committee met five times during 2006. The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing independent accountants, reviewing with the independent accountants the scope and results of the audit engagement and consulting with independent accountants and management with regard to the Company’s accounting methods and control procedures. The Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s auditing accountants, or other accounting firms, other than as may be allowed by applicable law. In accordance with the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company has determined that Mr. Scarborough, Mr. Howe and Dr. Kishel are independent, have not participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company at any time during the past three years and are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements.

The Board of Directors has adopted a formal written Audit Committee Charter (attached as Appendix “A” of the 2004 Proxy Statement) and the Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the charter on an annual basis. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is not currently available on the Company’s website. The Board has determined that Mr. Scarborough meets the SEC criteria of an “audit committee financial expert”.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Dr. Kishel (Chair), who succeeded Mr. Cramer in March 2006, and Messrs. Howe and Scarborough.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing recommendations from the Chairman of the Board of Directors with regard to the compensation of executive officers of the Company and reporting to the Board of Directors its recommendations with regard to such compensation and is also responsible for operating and administering the Company’s Amended and Restated 1992 Stock Option Plan and its 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer does not attend or participate in portions of committee meetings involving voting or deliberations on compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors has adopted a formal written Compensation Committee Charter, copies of which are not currently available on the Company’s website.

Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is currently composed of Dr. Kishel (Chair) and Mr. Howe.

Table of Contents

Shareholder nominations must be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than sixty days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than forty days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth:

(a) as to each proposed shareholder nominee, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and

(b) as to the shareholder giving the notice: (i) the shareholder’s name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books; and (ii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Company beneficially owned by such shareholder.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the above procedures. The Chairman shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and if the Chairman should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

The Nominating Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of our Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating Committee through current members of our Board, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating Committee and may be considered at any point during the year. In evaluating shareholder recommendations, the Nominating Committee uses the qualifications standards discussed above and seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board.

Shareholder Communications with the Board

The Board of Directors has implemented a process for shareholders to send communications to the Board. Any shareholder desiring to communicate with the Board, or with specific individual directors, may do so by writing to the Company’s Secretary at the address of the Company’s principal executive offices. The Company’s Secretary has been instructed by the Board to promptly forward all such communications to the Board or such individual directors.

Shareholder Proposals for 2008 Annual Meeting

Any shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must comply with the notice procedures set forth in the Company’s Bylaws and as set forth below and only to the extent that such business is appropriate for shareholder action under the provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company, not less than sixty days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than forty days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of three non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies that govern our executive compensation. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include the following:

 

   

Review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives, and set the level of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation based on this evaluation.

 

   

Determine the base and incentive compensation of our other senior officers that report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the “Management Committee.”

 

   

Make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to equity-based compensation plans.

 

   

Administer our stock option, stock incentive, and other stock compensation plans (including, without limitation, the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and 1992 Option Plan) as required by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

   

Report the Compensation Committee’s activities to the Board of Directors on a regular basis and make such recommendations with respect to such activities as the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors may deem necessary or appropriate.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for making compensation decisions for the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Management Committee. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for making

compensation recommendations regarding our non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee retained Flex HR, Inc. (“Flex HR”), an independent human resources and compensation consulting firm, to provide competitive intelligence and advice about executive compensation program design and competitive compensation levels. In addition, employees of the Company provide support to the Compensation Committee in carrying out its responsibilities. Employee attendees at Compensation Committee meetings may include the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

In 2006, the Compensation Committee met a total of four times, three in person and once via telephone. The agenda for meetings of the Compensation Committee are determined by its Chairman, with the assistance of the Company. Topics covered by the Compensation Committee in 2006 included the following:

 

   

Retaining a consulting firm for professional services in designing and implementation of compensation strategies and obtaining an analysis of competitive compensation information.

 

   

Competitive compensation programs for the Management Committee.

 

   

Competitive compensation and rewards for our non-employee directors.

 

   

Salary changes and annual incentive cash bonus programs for the Management Committee

 

   

Long-term stock incentive awards for employees on the Management Committee and all other employees as a group.

 

   

Review and structure of the employees benefit plans including the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1992 Option Plan and the Company’s 401(k) Plan.

In making recommendations on compensation of members of the Management Committee, the Compensation Committee relies on Flex HR, an independent third-party source, for competitive data and recommendations on competitive compensation, and on the President and Chief Executive Officer for performance data on individual members (other than the President and Chief Executive Officer).

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Dr. Kishel and Messrs. Howe and Scarborough are the members of the Compensation Committee. Dr. Kishel and Mr. Howe are not a current or former officer or employee of the Company. Mr. Scarborough is not a current officer or employee of the Company, but was the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from 1992 to 1995.

In connection with the Company’s preferred stock investment in ThePort Network, Inc. (“ThePort”) during the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a five-year agreement whereby the Company had exclusive distribution rights to ThePort’s products within the healthcare industry. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had pre-paid $125,000 of the contract fee to be applied against future subscription fees. The Company had committed to generate $1,500,000 in subscription fees during the initial term of the original agreement. The initial term of the agreement commenced on August 20, 2001 and continued for five years from that date. On February 14, 2003, ThePort agreed to accept a payment of $125,000 from the Company to release the Company from the minimum guarantee in its entirety. ThePort retained the $125,000 pre-payment previously made and the Company was granted non-exclusive rights to ThePort’s products within the healthcare industry.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we held an approximately 35% and 34% voting interest in ThePort Network, Inc. (“The Port”), respectively.

voting interest in BeBetter. Mr. John McClaugherty, who served on our Board of Directors until October, 2006, held an approximate 11% voting interest in BeBetter at December 31, 2005.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining, implementing, and maintaining fair, reasonable, and competitive compensation for the Management Committee, while continuing to create stockholder value. Throughout this proxy statement, the individuals who served as our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during fiscal 2006, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table, are referred to as the “executive officers.”

Philosophy & Objectives

The Compensation Committee’s overall goals with respect to executive officers are to provide compensation sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability, performance, and potential, and to establish and maintain an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of shareholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective compensation program is one that provides competitive base pay, rewards the achievement of established annual and long-term goals and objectives, and provides an incentive for retention.

To this end, the three compensation elements used for executive officers in 2006 were base salary, annual cash incentive bonus and equity awards. The Compensation Committee believes that these three elements are the most effective combination in motivating and retaining the executive officers at this stage in our development.

Base Salary. The Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to maintain executive base salary at a competitive level sufficient to recruit and retain individuals possessing the skills and capabilities necessary to achieve our goals over the long term. Each individual’s base salary is determined by the Compensation Committee after considering a variety of factors that include market value and prospective value to us, including the knowledge, experience, and accomplishments of the individual, the individual’s level of responsibility, and the typical compensation levels for individuals with similar credentials. The Compensation Committee may, considering the advice of our management, change the salary of an individual on the basis of its judgment for any reason, including our performance or that of the individual, changes in responsibility, and changes in the market for executives with similar credentials.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus. The purpose of the annual cash incentive bonus program for executive officers is to motivate and reward the achievement of specific preset corporate goals agreed to in advance by the Board of Directors along with the achievement of individual performance goals. Achievement of established goals at the end of the measurement period is reviewed and approved by Compensation Committee. Target annual cash incentive bonuses for executive officers are set based upon analysis of competitive data (see “Setting Executive Compensation” below).

Long-term Stock Incentive Awards. Long-term stock incentive awards are a fundamental element in our executive compensation program because they emphasize our long-term performance, as measured by creation of stockholder value, and foster a commonality of interest between shareholders and our Company’s leaders. In addition, they are crucial to a competitive compensation program for executive officers and they act as a powerful retention tool for executive officers.

Setting Executive Compensation

The process of determining compensation for the executive officers began with a presentation of the competitive data to the Compensation Committee by Flex HR, an independent human resources and

Table of Contents

compensation consulting firm. Flex HR provided the Compensation Committee with relevant market data and alternatives to consider when making compensation decisions.

Once the Compensation Committee had reviewed this analysis, separate meetings were held with the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, at which the performance of each executive officer was discussed. Based upon the analysis provided by FlexHR in combination with these individual performance assessments, the Compensation Committee determined each executive officer’s new base salary, bonus for the prior year’s performance and equity award.

The Compensation Committee approved an annual cash incentive bonus program for the second half of 2006 based upon achieving corporate financial goals for revenue and cashflow targets for the period from July 2006 to December 2006.

Compensation Elements

The executive officers’ compensation structure consists of base salary, annual cash incentive bonus and long-term stock incentive grants. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between cash and incentive compensation. Rather, the Compensation Committee reviews competitive compensation information provided by Flex HR to determine the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation.

Base Salary

Salary levels are typically considered annually as part of our performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. All competitive and performance data are reviewed by the Compensation Committee in order to make compensation decisions that will maintain a competitive standing for each executive officer but not place them outside a reasonable range of compensation set by their peers in the industry. Salaries are set based on a review of the competitive data, consideration of individual performance, compensation relative to other executive officers and the importance to shareholders of that person’s continued service.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

Bonuses are determined by the Compensation Committee with advice from our management, based upon the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the achievement of our corporate goals for the measurement period in the prior year. In determining bonuses for 2006 performance, the Compensation Committee considered the executive officer’s achievement of preset corporate goals relating to corporate revenues and cashflow or division cashflow goals.

Based upon our 2006 performance in relation to these goals, the Compensation Committee determined that 2006 corporate performance should be rewarded at 87.5% of bonus targets. The bonus awards made to executive officers are reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

Long-term Stock Incentive Awards

Long-term stock incentive awards may include stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards and are intended to provide a meaningful component of executive compensation. They provide compensation in a manner that is intrinsically related to long-term stockholder value because they are linked to the value of our Common Stock. Historically, we have relied solely on stock options as a means of providing equity incentives for our executives. However, our 2002 Stock Incentive Plan enables the grant of all of the forms of equity-based compensation referred to above.

In determining the size of a long-term stock incentive award to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers Company performance, competitive data and the individual’s scope of responsibility and

continuing performance. Most importantly, since the long-term stock incentive award is meant to be a retention tool, the Compensation Committee considers the importance to shareholders of that person’s continued service.

Options are granted at no less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant, and typically vest over the first four years of the ten-year option term. The 2006 long-term stock incentive awards were granted in the form of stock options on August 14, 2006. The options vest from 2006 to 2009 based on service or achievement of two financial performance objectives related to revenues or cashflow in those years.

Executive Severance

Certain executives may have severance provisions in their employment agreements with the Company, that provide for payments upon change of control and or dismissal form the Company. All such arrangements are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, with input from Company personnel.

Timing of Annual Awards

In order to assess the performance of a full calendar year, annual awards are distributed in February or March of the following year. Salary increases for 2006 were effective on July 1, 2006. Cash bonus awards for 2006 performance were paid on February 28, 2007. Stock option awards for executive officers were effective on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee, which for 2006 was August 14, 2006.

Compensation for Newly Hired Executive Officers

When determining compensation for a new executive officer, factors taken into consideration are the individual’s skills, background and experience, the individual’s potential impact on our short-and long-term success and competitive data from both the list of peer companies and industry-specific published surveys, and data collected from executive search consultants and prospective candidates during the recruitment process.

Chief Executive Officer’s Compensation

Mr. Noland’s base salary was set at $225,000 per year for the six months from January to June 2006 and $260,000 per year for the six months from July to December 2006. He received a grant of 80,000 stock options during 2006. His bonus for 2006 performance was $56,875. The Compensation Committee determined Mr. Noland’s compensation awards after considering a variety of factors, including Mr. Noland’s performance, his level of responsibility within our company, industry surveys and the counsel provided by Flex HR, based on industry compensation data.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Executives participate in employee benefit plans generally available to our employees, including medical, health, life insurance, disability plans and the 401(k) plan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Cramer, Jr. and the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated May 10, 2005, as amended by an Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated October 3, 2005 (as amended, the “Original Agreement”). Under the terms of the Second Amendment, Mr. Cramer no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company but continues to serve as the Company’s Chairman. Effective February 16, 2006, Mr. Cramer’s annual base salary was reduced from $250,000 to $175,000. In accordance with his original amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Cramer offset his remaining bonuses against the promissory note executed in favor of the Company during 2001. In December 2005, Mr. Cramer received a one-time bonus payment, net of taxes, of $317,000 which was used to fully satisfy the note.

Under Mr. Cramer’s employment agreement, if the Company terminated Mr. Cramer’s employment Without Cause (as defined in the agreement), the Company would pay his then base salary for a twenty-four (24) month period. Additionally, if Mr. Cramer voluntarily resigned with good reason or within twelve months following a Change of Control (for any or no reason), then, in either such case, the Company shall, not later than 10 business days after such termination, pay Mr. Cramer a lump sum cash amount equal to twice the sum of his Base Salary at the time of his termination and the amount of any bonus received during the twelve month period ending on the date of termination. The Company shall also continue to provide all existing health and accident, hospitalization and medical expense insurance coverage for a period of twenty-four months following the date of termination.

Effective December 31, 2006, the Company and Mr. Cramer agreed that the Company would terminate Mr. Cramer’s employment agreement with the Company Without Cause. Mr. Cramer continues to serve as a Director and non-executive Chairman of the Board. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Cramer twenty-four months of his prior salary ($350,000) and reimburse Mr. Cramer for certain health insurance and life insurance costs for a period of twenty-four months.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

It is the responsibility of the Company’s Audit Committee to review all transactions or arrangements between our company and any of our directors, officers, principal shareholders or any of their respective affiliates, associates or related parties.

Related Person Transactions

On May 30, 2001, we received a full-recourse promissory note from our Chairman of the Board of Directors, and then Chief Executive Officer (“Executive”), Robert S. Cramer, Jr., for approximately $341,000 (the “Exercise Note”) for the exercise of 150,000 options at $1.94 per share and a $50,000 promissory note (the “Tax Note”) in connection with a loan to our Executive to pay taxes related to the stock exercise. The notes accrued interest of 6.25% per annum and were due in full on or before May 29, 2006. Part of the Exercise Note, in the amount of $291,000, was secured by 150,000 shares of our common stock and recorded in shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2005, both notes and related interest had been fully satisfied using bonuses earned and paid under the Executive’s amended employment agreement.

In connection with the Company’s preferred stock investment in ThePort Network, Inc. (“ThePort”) during the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a five-year agreement whereby the Company had exclusive distribution rights to ThePort’s products within the healthcare industry. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had pre-paid $125,000 of the contract fee to be applied against future subscription fees. The Company had committed to generate $1,500,000 in subscription fees during the initial term of the original agreement. The initial term of the agreement commenced on August 20, 2001 and continued for five years from that date. On February 14, 2003, ThePort agreed to accept a payment of $125,000 from the Company to release the Company from the minimum guarantee in its entirety. ThePort retained the $125,000 pre-payment previously made and the Company was granted non-exclusive rights to ThePort’s products within the healthcare industry.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we held an approximately 35% and 34% voting interest in ThePort Network, Inc. (“The Port”), respectively. Our Chairman of the Board of the Directors, Mr. Cramer, who also currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ThePort, held an approximate 7% and 10% voting interest in ThePort at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and held a convertible note from and made loans to ThePort in the amount of approximately $1,699,000 and $1,369,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Two of the Company’s other directors, Dr. Kishel and Mr. Howe, also own equity interests in ThePort.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists of three directors, who are each independent in accordance with the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors and is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Scarborough (Chair), Mr. Howe and Dr. Kishel. Each year the Audit Committee selects our independent registered public accounting firm and approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.

Management is responsible for our financial statements and the financial reporting process, including internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States and for issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and Tauber & Balser, P.C., (“Tauber & Balser”), our independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with Tauber & Balser the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees, as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 89 (Audit Adjustments) and Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications)). These matters included a discussion of Tauber & Balser’s judgments about the quality (not just the acceptability) of our accounting principles as applied to our financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and letter from Tauber & Balser as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T, and the Audit Committee discussed with Tauber & Balser that firm’s independence. The Audit Committee further considered whether the provision by Tauber & Balser of the non-audit services described above is compatible with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the independent registered public accounting firm and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the disclosures by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
