Background

 

Emdeon Corporation (“Emdeon” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in December 1995 and commenced operations in January 1996 as Healtheon Corporation. Emdeon’s Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “HLTH” on February 11, 1999 and now trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Company changed its name to Healtheon/WebMD Corporation in November 1999 and to WebMD Corporation in September 2000. In October 2005, WebMD Corporation changed its name to Emdeon Corporation in connection with the initial public offering of equity securities of WebMD Health Corp. (“WHC”).

 

WHC’s Class A Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “WBMD” on September 29, 2005 and now trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. As of March 31, 2007, the Company owned 48,100,000 shares of WHC Class B Common Stock, which represented 84.3% of all outstanding WHC’s Class A and Class B Common Stock. WHC Class A Common Stock has one vote per share, while WHC Class B Common Stock has five votes per share. As a result, the WHC Class B Common Stock owned by the Company represented, as of March 31, 2007, 96.4% of the combined voting power of WHC’s outstanding Common Stock.

 

The Company owns 48% of EBS Master LLC (“EBSCo”), which owns Emdeon Business Services LLC. Emdeon Business Services LLC conducts the business that comprised the Company’s Emdeon Business Services segment until the Company sold a 52% interest in that business to an affiliate of General Atlantic LLC on November 16, 2006 (“EBS Sale”). “Emdeon Business Services” and “EBS” are used below to refer to the business owned by EBSCo and, with respect to periods prior to the consummation of the EBS Sale, to the reporting segment of Emdeon. In connection with the EBS Sale, the Company transferred its rights to the name “Emdeon” and related intellectual property to EBS and agreed to change its name, after a transition period, to one not including “Emdeon.” In April 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company’s new name will be HLTH Corporation. The Company expects to complete the steps required to implement the name change during May 2007. The Company’s ticker symbol will remain “HLTH” after the name change.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 have been restated to correct the previously reported income tax provision which is more fully described in Note 14, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements.”

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Emdeon Corporation and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in United States dollars, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated accounts include 100% of the assets and liabilities of the majority-owned WHC. Additionally, the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of the equity in WHC is recorded as minority interest in WHC in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of net income or net loss is reflected as minority interest in WHC income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company’s 48% ownership in EBSCo is being accounted for under the equity method since November 16, 2006, the transaction date. Accordingly, prior to the transaction date, the historical results of operations of EBS are reflected in the consolidated results of operations of the Company. See Note 3 for further details.

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

As described in Note 2, on September 14, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Emdeon Practice Services segment (“EPS”). Accordingly, the historical results of EPS have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2007. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and regulations.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2006, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the SEC.

 

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 in order to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental 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: the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of inventory, the carrying value of prepaid advertising, the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the amortization period of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill), the carrying value, capitalization and amortization of software and Web site development costs, the carrying value of short-term and long-term investments, the provision for income taxes and tax contingencies, certain accrued expenses, revenue recognition, contingencies, litigation and the value attributed to employee stock options and other stock-based awards.

 

Seasonality

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue is affected by seasonal factors in both the WebMD and Porex segments. Advertising and sponsorship revenue within the WebMD segment is seasonal, primarily as a result of the annual budget approval process of the advertising and sponsorship clients of the public portals. This portion of revenue is usually the lowest in the first quarter of each calendar year, and increases during each consecutive quarter throughout the year. WebMD’s private portal licensing revenue is also 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. Additionally, the annual distribution cycle for certain publishing products results in a significant portion of WebMD’s publishing revenue being recognized in

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the second and third quarter of each calendar year. Porex’s business is also impacted by seasonal factors, primarily in its writing instrument product lines as a result of back-to-school season which favorably impacts the Porex’s revenue during the second quarter.

 

Net Income Per Common Share

 

Basic income per common share and diluted income per common share are presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). In accordance with SFAS 128, basic income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to give effect to the participating rights of the convertible redeemable exchangeable preferred stock. Diluted income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Additionally, for purposes of calculating diluted income per common share of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2007, the numerator has been adjusted to consider the effect of potentially dilutive securities of WHC, which can dilute the portion of WHC’s net income otherwise retained by the Company. The impact of WHC’s potentially dilutive securities on the calculation of diluted income per common share was not material. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted income per common share (shares in thousands):

 

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company has excluded convertible notes, as well as certain outstanding warrants and stock options, from the calculation of diluted income per common share because such securities were anti-dilutive during the periods presented. The following table presents the total number of shares that could potentially dilute basic income (loss) per common share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per common share during the periods presented (shares in thousands):

 

 

Income Taxes

 

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 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. Upon adoption, the Company reduced its existing reserves for uncertain income tax positions by $1,475, primarily related to a reduction in state income tax matters. This reduction was recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Company reduced $5,572 of a deferred tax asset and its associated valuation allowance upon adoption of FIN 48.

 

As of January 1, 2007, the Company had unrecognized income tax benefits of $6,831. If recognized, these benefits would be reflected as a component of the income tax provision. The Company is currently under audit in a number of state and local taxing jurisdictions and will have statutes of limitations with respect to certain tax returns expiring within the next twelve months. As a result, it is reasonably possible that a reduction in the unrecognized income tax benefits, prior to any annual increase, may occur from $1,000 to $1,300 within the next twelve months. With the exception of adjusting net operating loss carryforwards that may be utilized, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for tax years before 2003 and for state and local income tax examinations for years before 2002.

 

Consistent with its historical financial reporting, the Company has elected to reflect interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of January 1, 2007, accrued interest and penalties were $1,135, which are included in the total unrecognized income tax benefits of $6,831 discussed above.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On February 15, 2007, the 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

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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. 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 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 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.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

 

 

On September 14, 2006, the Company completed the sale of EPS to Sage Software, Inc. (“Sage Software”) and, accordingly, the historical financial information of EPS has been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the prior year period. The Company received net cash proceeds of $521,324, net of professional fees and other expenses associated with the sale of EPS, which does not include $35,000 being held in escrow as security for the Company’s indemnification obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. One-third and two-thirds of the amount in escrow are scheduled to be released twelve and eighteen months from the closing date, subject to pending and paid claims, if any, and are included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. Included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is $191 primarily related to equity instruments of the Company that were held by EPS employees offset by $164 associated with the reduction of certain sales and use tax contingencies that the Company indemnified Sage Software for, resulting from the expiration of various statutes. During 2006, the Company recorded a gain on disposal of $353,158, net of tax of $33,037. Summarized operating results for the discontinued operations of EPS through March 31, 2006 were as follows:

 

 

 

Equity Investment in EBSCo

 

The Company accounts for its 48% investment in EBSCo as an equity investment and records 48% of the earnings of EBSCo as equity in earnings of EBS Master LLC in its accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company’s equity investment in EBSCo was $9,534 and $1,521, respectively, which reflects a difference of $129,051 and $131,180, respectively, between

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the carrying value and the underlying equity in this investment. The difference between the carrying value and the underlying equity value, as well as the difference between the Company’s equity in earnings of EBS Master LLC and 48% of EBSCo’s net income is principally due to the excess of the fair value of EBSCo’s net assets as adjusted in purchase accounting, over the carryover basis of the Company’s investment in EBSCo as well as the related amortization of a certain portion of that excess related to amortizable intangible assets.

 

The following is summarized financial information of EBSCo for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

 

 

Sale of Emdeon Business Services

 

The purchase price of the EBS Sale was subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including an adjustment based on the amount of working capital at the time of the closing on November 16, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized a gain of $399, which is included in other income (expense), net and relates to the finalization of the working capital adjustment.

 

 

The Company’s WHC subsidiary issues their Class A Common Stock in various transactions from time to time, which result in the dilution of the Company’s percentage ownership in WHC. The Company accounts for the issuance of WHC Class A Common Stock in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, “Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary.” The issuances of shares of WHC Class A Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to the exercise of stock options and the release of restricted stock awards and resulted in an aggregate gain to equity of $4,804 and the Company’s ownership in WHC decreased to 84.3% as of March 31, 2007, from 84.6% as of December 31, 2006.

 

 

On December 15, 2006, the Company acquired, through WHC, all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Subimo, LLC (“Subimo”), a privately held provider of healthcare decision support applications to large employers, health plans and financial institutions. The total purchase consideration for Subimo was approximately $59,320, comprised of $32,820 in cash paid at closing, net of cash acquired, $26,000 of WHC equity and $500 of estimated acquisition costs. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, WHC deferred the issuance of the $26,000 of equity, equal to 640,930 shares of WHC Class A Common Stock (the “Deferred Shares”), until December 2008. While a maximum of 246,508 of these shares may be used to settle any outstanding claims or warranties against the seller, the remaining 394,422 of these shares will be issued with certainty. Issuance of 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 WHC will pay additional consideration equal to this shortfall, either in the form of WHC Class A Common Stock or cash, in its sole discretion. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values. In connection with the preliminary allocation of the purchase price and intangible asset valuation, goodwill of $47,915 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $11,300 were recorded. The goodwill and intangible assets recorded will be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets are comprised of $9,000 relating to

customer relationships with estimated useful lives of twelve years and $2,300 relating to acquired technology with an estimated useful life of three years.

On September 11, 2006, the Company acquired, through WHC, the interactive medical education, promotion and physician recruitment businesses of Medsite, Inc. (“Medsite”). Medsite provides e-detailing services for pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare companies, including program development, targeted recruitment and online distribution and delivery. In addition, Medsite provides educational programs to physicians. The total purchase consideration for Medsite was approximately $31,467, comprised of $30,682 in cash, net of cash acquired, and $785 of estimated acquisition costs. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values. In connection with the preliminary allocation of the purchase price and intangible asset valuation, goodwill of $34,248 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $9,000 were recorded.

On July 18, 2006, the Company acquired, through EBS, Interactive Payer Network, Inc. (“IPN”), a privately held provider of healthcare electronic data interchange services. The total purchase consideration for IPN was approximately $3,907, comprised of $3,799 in cash, net of cash acquired, and $108 of estimated acquisition costs. In addition, the Company agreed to pay up to an additional $3,000 in cash over a two-year period beginning in August 2007 if certain financial milestones are achieved. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values. In connection with the allocation of the purchase price, goodwill of $3,692 was recorded. The goodwill recorded will be deductible for tax purposes. The IPN business is part of the EBS businesses that were sold on November 16, 2006. Accordingly, the results of operations of IPN have been included in the financial statements of the Company, specifically within the Emdeon Business Services segment, from July 18, 2006 (the closing date of the acquisition) through November 16, 2006 (the closing date of the EBS Sale). The obligation to pay up to $3,000 in earn out payments was also transferred in connection with the EBS Sale and is no longer an obligation of the Company.

 

On June 13, 2006, the Company acquired, through WHC, Summex Corporation (“Summex”), a provider of health and wellness programs that include online and offline health risk assessments, lifestyle education and personalized telephonic health coaching. The total purchase consideration for Summex was approximately $30,191, comprised of $29,691 in cash, net of cash acquired, and $500 of estimated acquisition costs. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay up to an additional $10,000 in cash over a two-year period if certain financial milestones are achieved.

Segment information has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies for the consolidated Company. Inter-segment revenue primarily represents printing services provided by EBS during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and certain services provided by the Company’s WebMD segment to the Company’s other operating segments during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The performance of the Company’s business is monitored based on earnings before interest, taxes, non-cash and other items. Other items include: a working capital adjustment from the sale of 52% of EBS; legal expenses which reflect costs and expenses related to the investigation by the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina and the SEC and income related to the reduction of certain sales and use tax contingencies.

 

The Company has aligned its business into four operating segments and one corporate segment as follows:

 

WebMD provides both public and private online portals. WebMD’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. WebMD’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. WebMD’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. WebMD provides related services for use by such employees and members, including lifestyle education and personalized telephone health coaching as a result of the acquisition of Summex on June 13, 2006, and 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. In addition, WebMD 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. WebMD conducted in-person medical education through December 31, 2006, the date at which it no longer provided this service.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

Summarized financial information for each of the Company’s four operating segments and corporate segment and reconciliation to net income are presented below:

 

 

 

 

 

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. 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 Company has various stock compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”) under which directors, officers and other eligible employees receive awards of options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock and restricted shares of Emdeon Common Stock. Additionally, the Company’s majority owned public subsidiary has two similar stock-based compensation plans that provide for stock options and restricted stock awards based on WHC Class A Common Stock. The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides employees with the ability to buy shares of Emdeon Common Stock at a discount. The following sections of this note summarize the activity for each of these plans.

 

Emdeon Plans

 

The Company had an aggregate of 5,365,184 shares of Emdeon Common Stock available for future grants under the Plans at March 31, 2007. In addition to the Plans, the Company has granted options to certain directors, officers and key employees pursuant to individual stock option agreements. At March 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 4,764,881 shares of Emdeon Common Stock outstanding to these individuals. The terms of these grants are similar to the terms of the options granted under the Plans and accordingly, the stock option activity of these individuals is included in all references to the Plans. The Company issues new shares when options are exercised under the Plans.

 

Stock Options

 

Generally, options under the 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 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 grant. The following table summarizes activity for the Plans for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

 

 

 

 

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 also noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from traded options of Emdeon’s Common Stock combined with historical volatility of Emdeon’s Common Stock. The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be

outstanding following their grant date, and was determined using historical exercise data. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected term of the options on the grant date.

 

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

Emdeon Restricted Stock consists of shares of Emdeon 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, Emdeon Restricted Stock awards vest ratably over a three to five year period from 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2007:

 

 

Proceeds received from the exercise of options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock were $60,668 and $11,352 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The intrinsic value related to the exercise of these stock options, as well as the fair value of shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock that vested was $37,121 and $8,588 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. While the intrinsic value of these stock options and shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock is currently deductible for tax purposes, subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, these tax benefits were not realized as the Company has net operating loss carryforwards.

 

WebMD Plans

 

During September 2005, WHC adopted the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “WHC Plan”). In connection with the acquisition of Subimo, LLC in December 2006, WHC 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 WHC Plan but it has not been approved by WHC stockholders. Awards under the Subimo Plan were made on the date of the Company’s acquisition of Subimo, LLC in reliance on the NASDAQ Stock Market exception to shareholder approval for equity grants to new hires. No additional grants will be made under the Subimo Plan. The WHC Plan and the Subimo Plan are included in all references as the “WebMD Plans.” The maximum number of shares of WHC 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

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

with the terms of the WebMD Plans. WHC had an aggregate of 1,100,179 shares of Class A Common Stock available for grant under the WebMD Plans at March 31, 2007.

 

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 generally at prices not less than the fair market value of WHC’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes activity for the WebMD Plans for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

 

 

 

 

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 of WHC employees who were previously granted Emdeon stock options. 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

 

WHC Restricted Stock consists of shares of WHC 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, WHC Restricted Stock awards vest ratably over a four year period from their individual award dates subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. The following table summarizes the activity of non-vested WHC Restricted Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2007:

 

 

Proceeds received from the exercise of options to purchase WHC Class A Common Stock were $4,458 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The intrinsic value related to the exercise of these stock options, as well as the fair value of shares of WHC Restricted Stock that vested was $5,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. While the intrinsic value of these stock options and shares of WHC Restricted Stock awards is deductible for tax purposes, subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, these tax benefits were not realized as the Company has net operating loss carryforwards.

 

Other

 

At the time of the WHC initial public offering and subsequently on the first anniversary, WHC issued shares of WHC Class A Common Stock to each non-employee director with a value equal to their annual board and committee retainers. The Company recorded $85 of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with these issuances.

 

Additionally, the Company recorded $257 of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2007 in connection with a stock transferability right for shares required to be issued in connection with the acquisition of Subimo, LLC by WHC.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

The Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended from time to time (the “ESPP”), allows eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of Emdeon 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. As of March 31, 2007, a total of 8,144,972 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP provides for annual increases equal to the lesser of 1,500,000 shares, 0.5% of the outstanding common shares, or a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. There were no shares issued under the ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Summary of Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The following table summarizes the components and classification of stock-based compensation expense:

 

 

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 March 31, 2007, approximately $36,952 and $45,008 of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.42 years and 1.87 years related to the Emdeon Plans and the WHC Plans, respectively.

 

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

In December 2006, the Company announced the authorization of a stock repurchase program (the “Program”), at which time the Company was authorized to use up to $100,000 to purchase shares of Emdeon’s Common Stock from time to time beginning on December 19, 2006, subject to market conditions. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had repurchased 1,794,789 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $22,646 under the Program. Repurchased shares are recorded under the cost method and are reflected as treasury stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation Regarding Distribution of Shares in Healtheon Initial Public Offering

 

As previously disclosed, seven purported class action lawsuits were filed against Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman Sachs & Co., underwriters of the initial public offering of the Company (then known as Healtheon Corporation) in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the summer and fall of 2001. Three of these suits also named the Company and certain of its former officers and directors as defendants. These suits were filed in the wake of reports of governmental investigations of the underwriters’ practices in the distribution of shares in certain initial public offerings. Similar suits were filed in connection with over 300 other initial public offerings that occurred in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

 

The complaints against the Company and its former officers and directors alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 under that Act and Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 because of failure to disclose certain practices alleged to have occurred in connection with the distribution of shares in the Healtheon IPO. Claims under Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 were also brought against the underwriters. These claims were consolidated, along with claims relating to over 300 other initial public offerings, in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs have dismissed the claims against the four former officers and directors of the Company without prejudice, pursuant to Reservation of Rights Tolling Agreements with those individuals. On July 15, 2002, the issuer defendants in the consolidated action, including the Company, filed a joint motion to dismiss the consolidated complaints. On February 18, 2003, the District Court denied, with certain exceptions not relevant to the Company, the issuer defendants’ motion to dismiss.

 

After a lengthy mediation under the auspices of former United States District Judge Nicholas Politan, the issuer defendants in the consolidated action (including the Company), the affected insurance companies, and the plaintiffs reached an agreement on a settlement to resolve the matter among the participating issuer defendants, their insurers, and the plaintiffs. The settlement calls for the participating issuers’ insurers jointly to guarantee that plaintiffs recover a certain amount in the IPO litigation and certain related litigation from the underwriters and other non-settling defendants. Accordingly, in the event the guarantee becomes payable, the agreement calls for the Company’s insurance carriers, not the Company, to pay the Company’s pro rata share.

 

The Company and virtually all of the approximately 260 other issuer defendants who are eligible have also elected to participate in the settlement. Although the Company believes that the claims alleged in the lawsuits were primarily directed at the underwriters and, as they relate to the Company, were without merit, the Company believes that the settlement is beneficial to the Company because it reduces the time, expense and risks of further litigation, particularly since virtually all the other issuer defendants elected to participate and the Company’s insurance carriers strongly support the settlement.

 

On June 10, 2004, plaintiffs submitted to the court a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement with Defendant Issuers and Individuals. On February 15, 2005, the court certified the proposed settlement class and

 

EMDEON CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

preliminarily approved the settlement, subject to certain modifications, to which the parties agreed. On April 24, 2006, the court held a hearing for final approval of the settlement.

 

On December 5, 2006, in response to an appeal by the underwriter defendants, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the district court’s certification of the classes in six related “focus cases” dealing with the offerings of other issuers. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing but indicated that the plaintiffs were free to attempt to redefine the proposed classes. At a hearing on April 23, 2007, the plaintiffs indicated that they were considering redefining the settlement class in order to address the Second Circuit’s ruling and counsel for the issuer defendants indicated that they were open to discussions on that subject. Plaintiffs are expected to report on their progress at the next hearing, currently scheduled for May 30, 2007. At this point, it is impossible to determine whether plaintiffs will be able to redefine the settlement class to address the Second Circuit’s ruling, what changes to the settlement, if any, will be necessary as a result of changes in the class definition, and, therefore, whether the settlement will go forward or be finally approved.

 

Porex Corporation v. Kleanthis Dean Haldopoulos, Benjamin T. Hirokawa and Micropore Plastics, Inc.

 

On September 24, 2005, the Company’s subsidiary Porex Corporation filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County against two former employees of Porex, Dean Haldopoulos and Benjamin Hirokawa, and their corporation, Micropore Plastics, Inc., alleging misappropriation of Porex’s trade secrets and breaches of Haldopoulos’ and Hirokawa’s employment agreements, and seeking monetary and injunctive relief. The lawsuit was subsequently transferred to the Superior Court of DeKalb County, Georgia.

 

On October 24, 2005, the defendants filed an Answer and Counterclaims against Porex. In the Answer and Counterclaims, the defendants allege that Porex breached non-disclosure and standstill agreements in connection with a proposed transaction between Porex and Micropore and engaged in fraud. The defendants also seek punitive damages and expenses of litigation. On February 13, 2006, the Court granted a motion by the defendants for summary judgment with respect to Porex’s trade secret claims, ruling that those claims are barred by the statute of limitations. Porex appealed that ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals and, on March 27, 2007, the Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the ruling of the Superior Court. On April 16, 2007, the defendants filed a petition for certiorari with the Georgia Supreme Court, requesting that the Georgia Supreme Court review and reverse the March 27, 2007 decision of the Court of Appeals. Porex has opposed that petition.

 

Porex is continuing to seek to vigorously enforce its rights in this litigation. Discovery has been stayed pending a final resolution of the appeal regarding Porex’s trade secret claims.

 

Other

 

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters, including those discussed in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Legal Proceedings” has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that their outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other income (expense), net consists of the following items:

 

 

 

 

 

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 and certain intangible assets arising from certain business combinations, primarily tax-deductible goodwill 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 its 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 liability and an overstatement of net income in the amount of $684 in the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Additionally, as a portion of the adjustment to deferred income tax expense related to WHC, the Company has also adjusted the minority interest in WHC. The net impact to the Company’s net income, after adjusting for the minority interest, was $841 in the aggregate during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The correction had no effect on the Company’s revenues, total assets, cash flows or liquidity during this period and no effect on the Company’s pre-tax operating results, other than the effect on minority interest. The Company believes that there will be no effect on its debt agreements or other contractual obligations as a result of this error.
