THE COMPANY
HealthDesk Corporation (the "Company"), a development stage company, is
engaged in designing, developing and marketing HealthDesk(R) OnLine, a
healthcare management and information system which enables consumers to take
a more active role in their personal and family health. HealthDesk OnLine
features easy-to-use Windows-based software designed to develop personal
medical records and health management programs and access educational, health
related information from the Company's private Website and over the Internet.
The Company's proposed system is intended to lower the cost and improve the
quality and accessibility of healthcare by promoting preventive maintenance
and patient compliance and permitting electronic mail communications between
consumers and healthcare providers and payers. HealthDesk OnLine is being
developed in response to perceived market opportunities arising from
increasing efforts of industry participants to stem the escalating cost of
healthcare.
In July 1996, the Company commenced preliminary market testing of
HealthDesk OnLine pursuant to a license agreement with Blue Cross/Blue Shield
of Massachusetts ("BCMA"). The Company has modified HealthDesk OnLine to
satisfy BCMA's requirements and BCMA is currently testing such product. In
the event of successful initial acceptance testing, the proposed market test
contemplates that BCMA will distribute HealthDesk OnLine to up to 50 of its
employees and thereafter BCMA will have an opportunity to determine whether
to distribute HealthDesk OnLine to up to 500 of its members. The market test
is intended to provide information on the product's usability and acceptance
by consumers and to test the technical aspects and functionality of the
Company's software system. The Company also recently entered into an
agreement with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Iowa ("BCI") to conduct similar
market testing activities. There can be no assurance that such market testing
will be conducted on a timely basis or that such testing will be successful.
The Company's primary marketing strategy is to license HealthDesk OnLine
to sponsoring organizations (including pharmaceutical companies, managed care
organizations, disease management companies, employers and affinity groups)
with access to significant numbers of potential subscribers. The Company
intends to focus its efforts on healthcare organizations primarily
responsible for bearing the financial risk of patients with chronic diseases.
The Company recently entered into a letter of intent with Medical Inter-
Insurance Exchange ("MIIX"), a medical malpractice insurance carrier, which
contemplates that the Company will design, develop and test a software module
for diabetic patients. The Company is currently evaluating various other
commercialization strategies, including the license of HealthDesk OnLine to
manufacturers of medical devices, pursuant to arrangements by which such
manufacturers would bundle such product with the products of such
manufacturers. The Company is also seeking to establish strategic
relationships with third parties relating to product development and
marketing.
The Company currently offers HealthDesk OnLine with no license fee to
potential sponsoring organizations willing to participate in market testing
activities. In the event of successful completion of market testing
activities, the Company anticipates that its principal sources of revenues
will be derived from license fees from sponsoring organizations and
subscription and online content and usage fees from con-
3
<PAGE>
sumers. The Company will seek to expand its sources of revenues to include
development fees for specific disease management software modules or
features. In addition, the Company may seek revenues by including advertising
in the system. The Company believes that the broad range of capabilities
combined in HealthDesk OnLine, including the system's desktop and online
functionality, and the system's ability to link consumers with healthcare
payers and providers, differentiate HealthDesk OnLine from competitive
products and make it attractive to potential sponsoring organizations seeking
to contain healthcare costs.
The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to
refine and enhance the capabilities of HealthDesk OnLine and expand system
capacity. In addition to the proposed development and commercialization of
specific disease management modules designed to monitor chronic conditions,
the Company will seek to license or develop the following: personalized
electronic newsletters designed to automatically search content databases and
websites by topic on a periodic basis; an online "chat" capability; and
software enhancements designed to assist users in both health risk assessment
and symptom triage. The Company may also seek to develop features which will
facilitate the input of data from medical devices, such as blood pressure
cuffs, blood glucose monitors and peak flow meters, directly into HealthDesk
OnLine which data may be monitored by healthcare providers.
Since its inception, the Company has engaged primarily in research and
development and has generated limited revenues. The Company expects to incur
significant up-front expenses in connection with product development and
commercialization (including the payment of salaries for management,
technical, marketing and other personnel), which will result in significant
losses for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the
Company's product development efforts will be successfully completed or that
HealthDesk OnLine will prove to be commercially viable. See "Risk Factors."
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in
August 1992. The Company's executive offices are located at 2560 Ninth
Street, Suite 220, Berkeley, California 94710, and its telephone number is
(510) 883-2160. The Company's home page is located on the World Wide Web at
http://www.healthdesk.com.
BACKGROUND
The Company introduced its initial product, HealthDesk, in early 1993.
HealthDesk, which is marketed directly to consumers pursuant to agreements
with independent sales representatives, contains certain of the medical
records and healthcare management and information features of HealthDesk
OnLine without online capabilities. The Company currently markets HealthDesk
on a limited basis and does not expect future revenues derived from such
product to be meaningful. See "Business -- Potential Markets and Marketing."
In October 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with Kaiser
Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States of Washington, D.C.
("Kaiser") pursuant to which the Company engaged in product development
activities and Kaiser conducted limited consumer acceptance testing of the
Company's initial product in consideration of $145,000. In February 1994, the
Company entered into an agreement with Quantum Health Resources ("Quantum"),
a company engaged in disease management services, pursuant to which the
Company developed a software module for hemophilia patients and commenced
development of a software module for cystic fibrosis patients in
consideration of approximately $390,000. In 1994, Quantum conducted limited
consumer acceptance testing of such hemophilia module. While the Company
believes that the results of such testing were positive, the Company does not
have any further arrangements with either Kaiser or Quantum to test such
products. See "Business -- Market Testing."
RECENT FINANCINGS
In February 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 1,059,600
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred
Stock") at a price of $2.08 per share and received net proceeds of
approximately $2,183,000. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock
automatically converts into one share of Common Stock upon the consummation
of this offering. See "Description of Securities."
4
<PAGE>
In July and August 1996, the Company issued an aggregate of $500,000
principal amount of promissory notes to John Pappajohn, a director and
principal shareholder of the Company, and Edgewater Private Equity Fund II,
L.P. ("Edgewater"), a principal shareholder of the Company. James Gordon, a
director of the Company, is president of the General Partner of Edgewater.
Such notes will automatically convert into 100,000 shares of Common Stock at
the initial public offering price per share on the earlier of the date of
this Prospectus or March 31, 1997. See "Certain Transactions."
In October 1996, the Company consummated a financing (the "Bridge
Financing") pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of (i) $2,000,000
principal amount of promissory notes (the "Bridge Notes") which bear interest
at the rate of 9% per annum and are due on the earlier of the consummation of
this offering or October 11, 1997 and (ii) 400,000 shares of Common Stock.
The Company will record the Bridge Notes at a discount of $900,000, which
will be allocated to the 400,000 shares of Common Stock issued in connection
with the Bridge Financing at an attributed price of $2.25 per share.
Additionally, $154,000 of debt issuance costs will be recorded in connection
with the Bridge Financing. The effective interest rate of the Bridge Notes is
279%. The Underwriter acted as placement agent in connection with the Bridge
Financing. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this
offering to repay the entire principal amount of and accrued interest on the
Bridge Notes. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Selling Shareholders and Plan of
Distribution."

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
The shares offered hereby are speculative and involve a high degree of
risk. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk
factors before making an investment decision.
1. Development Stage Company. The Company was organized in August 1992 and
is still in the development stage. Since its inception, the Company has been
engaged primarily in product development activities. The Company's initial
product was introduced in early 1993 and has not yet proven to be
commercially viable. As a result, the Company has no relevant operating
history upon which an evaluation of its performance and prospects can be
made. The Company will be subject to all of the risks, uncertainties,
expenses, delays, problems and difficulties typically encountered in the
establishment of a new business and the development and commercialization of
new products. The Company has limited experience in developing and
commercializing new products based on innovative technologies and there is
limited information available concerning the potential performance of the
Company's software or market acceptance of the Company's proposed products.
There can be no assurance that unanticipated expenses, problems or technical
difficulties will not occur which would result in material delays in product
commercialization or that the Company's efforts will result in successful
product commercialization. See "Business."
2. Limited Revenues; Significant and Continuing Losses; Qualified Report
of Independent Auditors. The Company has not yet generated any meaningful
revenues, and will not generate any meaningful revenues until after the
Company successfully completes development and market testing of HealthDesk
OnLine and attracts and retains a significant number of subscribers. For the
period August 28, 1992 (inception) to September 30, 1996, the Company
incurred a cumulative net loss of approximately $4,555,000. Since September
30, 1996, the Company has continued to incur increasing and significant
losses, and the Company anticipates that it will continue to incur
significant losses until, at the earliest, it generates sufficient revenues
to offset the substantial up-front expenditures and operating costs
associated with developing and commercializing its proposed products. The
Company will also incur non-recurring charges relating to the Bridge
Financing of approximately $1,054,000 upon the consummation of this offering.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain
a sufficient number of subscribers to generate meaningful revenues or achieve
profitable operations or that HealthDesk OnLine will prove to be commercially
viable. The Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory
paragraph in their report stating that recurring losses during the
development stage raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. See Financial Statements.
3. Dependence on Offering Proceeds; Working Capital Deficit; Negative Cash
Flow; Possible Need for Additional Financing. The Company's capital
requirements relating to the development and commercialization of HealthDesk
OnLine have been and will continue to be significant. The Company is
dependent on the proceeds of this offering or other financing in order to
continue in business and develop and commercialize its proposed products. The
Company's capital requirements have exceeded its cash resources and, at
September 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,636,876
and had a negative cash flow of $1,547,256 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Based on currently proposed plans and assumptions
relating to its operations (including the timetable of, and costs associated
with, product development and commercialization), the Company believes that
the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated
cash requirements for at least twelve months following the consummation of
this offering. In the event that the Company's plans change, its assumptions
change or prove to be inaccurate or if the proceeds of this offering prove to
be insufficient to fund operations (due to unanticipated expenses, technical
difficulties, problems or otherwise), the Company would be required to seek
additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no
assurance that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to permit the
Company to successfully develop and commercialize HealthDesk OnLine or that
any assumptions relating to the Company's operations will prove to be
accurate. To the extent that the proceeds of this offering are not sufficient
to enable the Company to generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable
operations, the inability to obtain additional financing will have a material
adverse effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to
significantly curtail or cease its operations. In addition, any
implementation of the Company's business plans subsequent to the twelve month
period following this offering may require proceeds greater than the proceeds
of this offering or otherwise currently available to the Company. There can
be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the
Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any additional financing
involving the issuance of equity securities could result in substantial
dilution to the interests of the Company's shareholders. See "Use of
Proceeds."
7
<PAGE>
4. Uncertainty of Product Development. Although the Company believes that
the development efforts relating to the technological aspects of the basic
HealthDesk OnLine platform are substantially completed, the Company has not
yet completed third-party testing of the basic platform or the development or
testing of any system enhancements or specific disease management modules.
The Company will be required to commit considerable time, effort and
resources to finalize such development and adapt its software to satisfy
specific requirements of potential customers. Continued system refinement,
enhancement and development efforts are subject to all of the risks inherent
in the development of new products and technologies, including unanticipated
delays, expenses, technical problems or difficulties, as well as the possible
insufficiency of funds to satisfactorily complete development, which could
result in abandonment or substantial change in product commercialization.
There can be no assurance that product development efforts will be
successfully completed on a timely basis, or at all, that the Company will be
able to successfully adapt its software to satisfy specific requirements of
potential customers, or that unanticipated events will not occur which would
result in increased costs or material delays in product development or
commercialization. In addition, while the Company believes that its software
performs the principal functions for which it has been designed, the Company
has only conducted limited tests of its software in connection with
preliminary market testing activities. Consequently, there can be no
assurance that such software will perform all of the functions for which it
has been designed or prove to be sufficiently reliable in widespread
commercial use. Technologies as complex as those incorporated into the
Company's software may contain errors which become apparent subsequent to
commercial use. Remedying such errors could delay the Company's plans and
cause it to incur substantial additional costs. See "Business -- Product
Development."
5. New Concept; Uncertainty of Market Acceptance and Commercialization
Strategy. HealthDesk OnLine represents a new business concept. As is typical
in the case of a new business concept, demand and market acceptance for
HealthDesk OnLine as a newly introduced product is subject to a high level of
uncertainty. Achieving market acceptance for HealthDesk OnLine will require
significant efforts and expenditures by the Company to create awareness and
demand by healthcare payers, providers and consumers. The Company's prospects
will be significantly affected by its ability to successfully develop and
maintain relationships with sponsoring organizations, which will promote
their services using HealthDesk OnLine and, at the same time, attract
significant numbers of subscribers. Because demand by payers, providers and
consumers are substantially interrelated, any lack or lessening of demand by
any of these would have an adverse effect on market acceptance for HealthDesk
OnLine. The Company has not yet commenced significant marketing activities
and has limited experience and limited financial, technical, personnel and
other resources to independently undertake extensive marketing activities.
Although the Company is currently evaluating a number of possible product
marketing and distribution strategies, the Company initially intends to offer
HealthDesk OnLine with no license fee to potential sponsoring organizations
willing to participate in market testing in order to closely monitor
performance and provide support for the users of such product. Such
activities are expected to allow the Company to adjust and revise its
proposed products in light of market needs and user feedback, to develop
pricing strategies relative to cost structure, to test new products and to
correct software or product defects which may arise. Thereafter, although the
Company will seek to develop and commercialize specific disease management
modules, the Company's primary marketing strategy is to license and sell
HealthDesk OnLine to sponsoring organizations with access to significant
numbers of potential subscribers. The Company's marketing strategy and
preliminary and future marketing plans may be unsuccessful and are subject to
change as a result of a number of factors, including progress or delays in
the Company's marketing efforts, changes in market conditions (including the
emergence of potentially significant related market segments for applications
of the Company's technology), the nature of possible license and distribution
arrangements which may become available to it in the future and economic,
political, regulatory and competitive factors. To the extent that the Company
is able to enter into satisfactory third-party marketing and distribution
arrangements in the future, it will be largely dependent on the efforts of
such third parties and on the marketability and sales of their products.
There can be no assurance that the Company's strategy will result in
successful product commercialization or that the Company's efforts will
result in initial or continued market acceptance for the Company's proposed
products. See "Business -- Potential Markets and Marketing."
6. Uncertainty of Market Testing Results. The Company currently proposes
to conduct market testing of HealthDesk OnLine with BCMA and BCI and other
potential sponsoring organizations. The Company's success may be highly
dependent upon the results of these tests and there can be no assurance that
such tests will be
8
<PAGE>
successful. If such tests are not successful, the Company will be required to
attempt to enhance or modify HealthDesk OnLine so that it will meet with
sponsoring organization and consumer acceptance. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to modify HealthDesk OnLine so that positive
test results can be demonstrated. Even if test results are positive, there
can be no assurance that sponsoring organizations will be sufficiently
encouraged by the results to commit to use HealthDesk OnLine on a non-market
test basis. They may elect to utilize other products, services or
technologies which they believe to be more efficient or have other cost
advantages over the Company's system. In addition, there can be no assurance
that positive test results will translate into consumer acceptance over a
longer period of time or that sponsoring organizations or consumers will be
satisfied with operational results or that the results of market testing will
be indicative of the ultimate success of product commercialization,
particularly if installed in geographic areas with demographic
characteristics different from those of test markets. See "Business -- Market
Testing."
7. Competition; Technological Obsolescence. The markets that the Company
intends to enter are characterized by intense competition and an increasing
number of new market entrants who have developed or are developing
potentially competitive products. The Company will face competition from
numerous sources, including prospective customers which may develop and
market their own competitive products and services, health information system
vendors, software companies, online and Internet service providers and others
with the technical capabilities and expertise which would encourage them to
develop and commercialize competitive products or services. Several
companies, including Healtheon Corp. ("Healtheon"), IBM Global Health
Village, Med Access Corporation, CareSoft, Inc., Access Health, Inc. and
America's Housecalls Network, have announced plans to develop and
commercialize competitive product and service offerings. Certain of such
competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing,
distribution, personnel and other resources than the Company, permitting such
companies to implement extensive marketing campaigns, both generally and in
response to efforts by additional competitors to enter into new markets and
market new products and services. Healtheon has announced that it has entered
into an agreement with BCMA relating primarily to the electronic exchange of
health plan benefit information between consumers and health plans. There can
be no assurance that Healtheon's relationship with BCMA will not adversely
affect the Company's ability to successfully market HealthDesk OnLine to
BCMA. In addition, the markets for the Company's proposed products are
characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards
which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles.
Accordingly, the ability of the Company to compete will be dependent upon the
Company's ability to complete development and introduce HealthDesk OnLine
into the marketplace in a timely manner, to continually enhance and improve
its software and to successfully develop and market new products. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully, that
competitors will not develop technologies or products that render the
Company's products obsolete or less marketable or that the Company will be
able to successfully enhance its products or develop new products. See
"Business -- Competition."
8. Capacity Constraints; System Failure and Security Risks. The Company's
operations will depend upon the capacity, reliability and security of its
system infrastructure. The Company currently has limited system capacity and
will be required to continually expand its system infrastructure to
accommodate significant numbers of users and increasing amounts of healthcare
information they may wish to access. Expansion of the Company's system
infrastructure will require substantial financial, operational and management
resources. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this
offering to purchase computer equipment to expand system capacity. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to expand its system
infrastructure to meet potential demand on a timely basis, at a commercially
reasonable cost, or at all. Failure by the Company to expand its system
infrastructure on a timely basis would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. In addition, the Company will be dependent upon Web browsers and
third-party Internet and online service providers for access to the Company's
services, hardware suppliers for prompt delivery, installation and service of
computer equipment used to deliver the Company's services and on content
providers to provide current healthcare information for use by consumers.
The Company's operations will also be dependent on the Company's ability
to protect its computer equipment against damage from fire, earthquakes,
power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. The Company does
not have earthquake insurance or redundant, multiple site capacity in the
event of any such occurrence. The Company does maintain fire insurance with
an aggregate limitation of $1 million and business interruption insurance
with an aggregate limitation of $4 million. The Company's system
infrastructure will be
9
<PAGE>
also vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from
unauthorized tampering with the Company's computer systems. Computer viruses
or problems caused by third parties could lead to material interruptions,
delays or cessation in service to consumers. Inappropriate use of the
Internet by third parties could also potentially jeopardize the security of
confidential information stored in the computer systems of consumers.
Security and privacy concerns of consumers may limit the Company's ability to
develop a significant subscriber base. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business --
Infrastructure, Operations and Technology."
9. Potential Liability and Insurance. In recent years, participants in the
healthcare industry have been subject to an increasing number of lawsuits
alleging malpractice, product liability and related legal theories, many of
which involve large claims and significant defense costs. Due to the nature
of its business, the Company could become involved in litigation regarding
the healthcare information transmitted over its system with the risk of
adverse publicity, significant defense costs and substantial damage awards.
The Company has adopted policies and procedures intended to reduce the risk
of claims, which include the provision of disclaimers in connection with its
services. The Company does not currently maintain malpractice liability
insurance. In addition, because healthcare information and materials may be
downloaded and may be subsequently distributed to others, there is a
potential that claims will be made against the Company for defamation,
negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other theories based on
the nature and content of such materials. The Company also could be exposed
to liability in connection with the selection of materials that may be
accessible over its system. Claims could be made against the Company if
material deemed inappropriate for viewing by children could be accessed. The
Company carries an umbrella insurance policy with a limit of $4 million in
the aggregate, general liability insurance with a limitation of $2 million in
the aggregate and $1 million per occurrence and errors and omissions
insurance with a limitation of $1 million. Nevertheless, the Company's
insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate
to cover liability that may be imposed or related defense costs. There can be
no assurance that the Company will not face claims resulting in substantial
liability for which the Company is partially or completely uninsured. Any
partially or completely uninsured claim against the Company, if successful
and of sufficient magnitude, would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. See "Business -- Potential Liability and Insurance."
10. Government Regulation. The healthcare industry is subject to
extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal and state regulation
which is interpreted and enforced by regulatory authorities with broad
discretion. Among other things, these regulations govern the provision of
healthcare services and the marketing of medical devices. These regulations
generally predate the development of products and services such as those
offered and proposed to be offered by the Company and the application and
enforcement of such regulations to the Company and its products and services
is uncertain. However, certain of the statutes governing the provision of
healthcare services could be construed by regulatory authorities to apply to
the Company's proposed business activities. There can be no assurance that
regulatory authorities do not or will not deem the Company's business
activities to constitute the unlicensed practice of medicine. Furthermore, in
the event the Company develops features which facilitate the input of data
from medical devices directly into HealthDesk OnLine, it is possible that the
United States Food and Drug Administration would require the Company and/or
an equipment manufacturer to obtain pre-marketing clearance with respect to
any such product. The process of obtaining and maintaining required
regulatory approvals can be lengthy, expensive and uncertain. Even if
regulatory approvals are obtained, a marketed product and its manufacturer
are subject to continuing regulatory review, and discovery of previously
unknown problems could result in restrictions on such product or
manufacturer, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Amendments
to or interpretation and enforcement of existing statutes or regulations, the
adoption of new statutes or regulations or the development of new
enhancements and features to HealthDesk OnLine could subject the Company to
increased regulation and require the Company to alter methods of operation at
costs which could be substantial. Failure to comply with applicable laws and
regulations could subject the Company to civil remedies, including
substantial fines, penalties and injunctions, as well as possible criminal
sanctions.
Although there are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable
to access to or commerce on the Internet, due to the increasing popularity
and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be
adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy,
pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. The
Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996, which was recently enacted, imposes
criminal penalties on anyone who distributes obscene, lascivious or indecent
communications on the Internet.
10
<PAGE>
While the enforcement of such statute has been enjoined and is currently
subject to challenge in the courts, the adoption of any such laws or
regulations may limit the growth of the Internet, which could in turn
decrease the demand for the Company's proposed products and services and
increase the Company's cost of doing business. Inasmuch as the applicability
to the Internet of the existing laws governing issues such as property
ownership, libel and personal privacy is uncertain, any such new legislation
or regulation or the application of existing laws and regulations to the
Internet could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and
prospects. See "Business -- Government Regulation."
11. Dependence on Third-Party Licenses. Substantially all of the
information content currently included in HealthDesk OnLine has been licensed
by the Company from unaffiliated third parties. The licenses granted to the
Company are subject to termination on relatively short notice. Although the
Company believes that similar healthcare information is available from
multiple sources, in the event of any termination of such licenses, the
Company may be required to independently develop information content or
license such information content from other providers. There can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon
acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. The failure to obtain current
healthcare information for use by consumers on a timely and competitive basis
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business --
Infrastructure, Operations and Technology."
12. Dependence on Limited Customer Base. To date, the Company's revenues
have been derived from a limited number of customers. Two customers accounted
for approximately 76% and 5%, respectively, of revenues in 1994 and 40% and
56%, respectively, in 1995. Additionally, one customer accounted for
approximately 96% and 92%, respectively, of revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. Although the Company is not currently
generating meaningful revenues, in the event that the Company is able to
successfully commercialize HealthDesk OnLine or obtain third party funding of
the costs of developing new software modules. there can be no assurance that
the Company will not continue to be dependent on a limited customer base for
all or a substantial portion of its revenues. The Company's letter of intent
with MIIX contemplates that the Company would grant to MIIX a right of first
refusal to fund the development of additional software modules. See "Business
- -- Potential Markets and Marketing."
13. Industry Factors; Lengthy Sales Cycle. The healthcare industry has
experienced significant changes in recent years, primarily due to rising
healthcare costs. Healthcare payers are increasingly challenging the price of
medical services and products, which have had and could continue to have a
significant effect on the procurement practices of healthcare providers,
generally causing them to be more selective in the purchase of new
technologies. Several proposals have been made by federal and state
government officials that may lead to substantial healthcare reform,
including the implementation of government-directed national healthcare
system and stringent healthcare cost containment measures. Adoption of such
proposed measures could result in reduction or deferral of capital
expenditures by potential customers. Also, there has been substantial
consolidation in the healthcare industry in recent years, which could make it
more difficult for the Company to achieve market acceptance by larger
potential customers. Moreover, a sponsoring organization's decision to
purchase new products and technology is often lengthy and requires the
approval of a significant number of administrators. The period in which a
sponsoring organization distributes the Company's software to its members may
also be lengthy, depending upon the level of acceptance and usage by its
members, which could delay the Company's plans in particular markets. See
"Business."
14. Proprietary Information. Although the Company intends to evaluate the
feasibility of obtaining patent protection for certain aspects of HealthDesk
OnLine, the Company does not hold any patents or registered copyrights. The
Company regards certain computer software it has developed for HealthDesk
OnLine as proprietary and attempts to protect it with copyrights, trade
secret laws, proprietary rights agreements and internal nondisclosure
agreements and safeguards. However, such methods may not afford complete
protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently
develop know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how or software
codes, concepts, ideas and documentation. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that nondisclosure agreements with the Company's employees will
adequately protect the Company's trade secrets. Although the Company believes
that its proposed products do not and will not infringe patents or violate
proprietary rights of others, it is possible that infringement of existing or
future patents or proprietary rights of others have occurred or may occur. In
the event the Company's proposed products infringe patents or proprietary
11
<PAGE>
rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of its
proposed products or obtain a license. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and
conditions or at all. The failure to do any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect upon the Company. In addition, there can be no
assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources
necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement action and the Company
could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which also
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business --
Proprietary Information and Trademarks."
15. Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of the Company will be
dependent on the personal efforts of Peter O'Donnell, its President and Chief
Executive Officer, Dr. Molly Coye, its Executive Vice President, Timothy S.
Yamauchi, its Chief Financial Officer, and other key personnel. The loss of
the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business and prospects. The Company has obtained "key-person"
insurance on the life of each of Mr. O'Donnell, Dr. Coye and Mr. Yamauchi in
the amounts of $2 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively. The
success of the Company is also dependent upon its ability to hire and retain
additional qualified management, marketing, technical, financial and other
personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to hire or retain qualified
personnel. Any inability to attract and retain qualified management and other
personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See
"Management."
16. Control by Management. Upon consummation of this offering, the
officers and directors of the Company will beneficially own, in the
aggregate, approximately 42.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Accordingly, such persons, acting together, will be in a position to exercise
significant influence over the Company's affairs. See "Management" and
"Principal Shareholders."
17. Potential Conflicts of Interest. The Company has entered into various
transactions with certain of its directors and principal shareholders and
their affiliates, which could result in potential conflicts of interest. Mr.
John Pappajohn and Edgewater, principal shareholders of the Company, have
from time to time made loans to the Company, and the Company has entered into
a marketing agreement with an entity of which Mr. Pappajohn is a director and
principal shareholder. The Company believes that all of such transactions and
arrangements were fair and reasonable to the Company and were on terms no
less favorable than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
There can be no assurance, however, that future transactions or arrangements
between the Company and its affiliates will continue to be advantageous to
the Company, that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect thereto,
or that if conflicts do arise, they will be resolved in a manner favorable to
the Company. Any such future transactions will be on terms no less favorable
to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and will be
approved by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of the
Board of Directors, outside the presence of any interested directors and, to
the extent deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, the Company will
obtain shareholder approval or fairness opinions in connection with any such
transaction. See "Certain Transactions."
18. Benefits to Related Parties. The Company intends to use a portion of
the proceeds to repay the entire principal amount of and accrued interest on
the Bridge Notes. John Pappajohn, a director and principal shareholder of the
Company, and Edgewater, a principal shareholder of the Company which is
affiliated with James Gordon, a director of the Company, each purchased
$100,000 principal amount of Bridge Notes pursuant to the Bridge Financing.
The Company intends to use approximately 2.4% of the net proceeds to repay
such Bridge Notes on the consummation of this offering. In addition, the
Company may use a portion of the proceeds of this offering allocated to
working capital to pay compensation of its executive officers (which is
expected to be approximately $580,000, or approximately 6.9% of the net
proceeds, during the twelve months following this offering). See "Use of
Proceeds" and "Certain Transactions."
19. Immediate and Substantial Dilution. Investors in this offering will
incur immediate and substantial dilution of $3.70 (74%) per share between the
adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering and the
initial public offering price of $5.00 per share. The current shareholders of
the Company acquired their Common Stock at an average price of $1.27 per
share, substantially below the initial public offering price. Accordingly, to
the extent the Company continues to incur losses, investors in this offering
will bear a disproportionate risk of such losses. See "Dilution" and
"Underwriting."
20. Outstanding Options. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company
had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 768,050 shares of Common
Stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.04 to $5.00. Exer-
12
<PAGE>
cise of any of the foregoing options will have a dilutive effect on the
Company's shareholders. Furthermore, the terms upon which the Company may be
able to obtain additional equity financing may be adversely affected, since
the holders of the options can be expected to exercise them, if at all, at a
time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed
capital on terms more favorable to the Company than those provided in the
options. See "Management -- Stock Option Plan."
21. No Dividends. To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on
its Common or Preferred Stock and does not expect to declare or pay dividends
on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy."
22. Authorized Preferred Stock. The Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation authorizes the Company's Board of Directors to issue 1,800,000
shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock and to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of these shares,
without further shareholder approval. The rights of the holders of Common
Stock will be subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of
holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. The ability
to issue Preferred Stock without shareholder approval could have the effect
of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the
voting stock of the Company thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of the Company. The Company's Series A Preferred Stock will
convert into Common Stock upon the consummation of this offering. See
"Description of Securities."
23. Shares Eligible for Future Sale, Registration Rights. Upon
consummation of this offering, the Company will have 5,689,720 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, of which 2,400,000 shares, consisting of 2,000,000
shares offered hereby and, subject to certain contractual restrictions
described below, the 400,000 shares being offered by the Selling
Shareholders, will be freely tradable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act. All of the remaining 3,289,720 shares
of Common Stock outstanding are "restricted securities," as that term is
defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and in the future
may be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, in compliance with the exemption provisions of Rule 144 or
pursuant to another exemption under the Securities Act. Of the 3,289,720
restricted shares, an aggregate of 237,000 shares will be eligible for sale,
without registration, under Rule 144 (subject to the contractual restrictions
described below), on the date of this Prospectus, and 417,000 shares will be
eligible (subject to certain volume limitations and the contractual
restrictions described below) commencing 90 days from the date of this
Prospectus. All of the Company's officers, directors and security holders
(except for the holders of 42,000 shares of Common Stock) have agreed not to
sell or dispose of any of their securities of the Company for a period of
eighteen months from the date of this Prospectus without the Underwriter's
prior written consent. The Company has also granted certain demand and
"piggyback" registration rights to the holders of an aggregate of 1,741,600
shares of Common Stock (including 400,000 shares issued in connection with
the Bridge Financing). The Company has obtained a waiver of registration
rights to the extent such rights would have been applicable to this offering.
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of such
securities or the availability of such securities for sale will have on the
market prices prevailing from time to time. However, even the possibility
that a substantial number of the Company's securities may be sold in the
public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common
Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the
sale of its equity securities. See "Description of Securities," "Shares
Eligible for Future Sale," "Underwriting" and "Selling Shareholders and Plan
of Distribution."
24. Absence of Public Market; Possible Volatility of Stock Price. Prior to
this offering, there has been no public trading market for the Common Stock.
Consequently, the initial public offering price has been determined by
negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter and is not necessarily
related to the Company's asset value, net worth or other criteria of value.
There can be no assurance that a regular trading market for the Common Stock
will develop after this offering or that, if developed, it will be sustained.
The market price of the Common Stock following this offering may be highly
volatile as has been the case with securities of other small capitalization
companies. Factors such as the Company's operating results, announcements of
developments related to the Company's business and the introduction of new
products or product enhancements by the Company or its competitors may have a
significant impact in the market price of the Common Stock. In addition, in
recent years the stock market in general, and the market for shares of small
capitalization stocks in particular, have experienced wide price fluctuations
which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such
companies. See "Underwriting."
13
<PAGE>
25. Possible Delisting of Securities from NASDAQ System; Disclosure
Relating to Low-Priced Stocks. The Company anticipates that its Common Stock
will be quoted on NASDAQ SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ") upon the consummation of
this offering. However, in order to continue to be included in NASDAQ, a
company must maintain $2,000,000 in total assets, a $200,000 market value of
the public float and $1,000,000 in total capital and surplus. In addition,
continued inclusion requires two market makers and a minimum bid price of
$1.00 per share; provided, however, that if a company falls below such
minimum bid price, it will remain eligible for continued inclusion in NASDAQ
if the market value of the public float is at least $1,000,000 and the
Company has $2,000,000 in capital and surplus. NASDAQ has recently proposed
new maintenance criteria which, if implemented, would eliminate the exception
to the $1.00 per share minimum bid price and require, among other things,
$2,000,000 in net tangible assets, $1,000,000 market value of the public
float and adherence to certain corporate governance provisions. Failure to
meet these maintenance criteria in the future may result in the delisting of
the Company's securities from NASDAQ and trading, if any, in the Company's
securities would thereafter be conducted in the non-NASDAQ over-the-counter
market. As a result of such delisting, an investor may find it more difficult
to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of,
the Company's securities. In addition, if the Common Stock were delisted from
trading on NASDAQ and the trading price of the Common Stock was less than
$5.00 per share, trading in the Common Stock would also be subject to certain
rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure
by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as
a penny stock (generally, any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such
rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a
disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks
associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally institutions). For these types
of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written
consent to the transactions prior to sale. The additional burdens imposed
upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from
effecting transactions in the Common Stock, which could severely limit the
market liquidity of the Common Stock and the ability of purchasers in this
offering to sell the Common Stock in the secondary market.
26. Forward Looking Statements. The statements which are not historical
facts contained in this Prospectus are forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, including the risks discussed above. The
Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in
such forward looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock offered hereby are estimated to be $8,350,000 ($9,700,000 if the
Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company
expects to use the net proceeds during the twelve months following this
offering approximately as follows:

(1) Includes anticipated costs and expenses associated with marketing
activities, including compensation and sales incentives for three
existing and up to seven additional sales and marketing personnel, and
preparation of sales documents and brochures. See "Business -- Potential
Markets and Marketing."
(2) Represents amounts to be used for the repayment of the entire $2,000,000
principal amount of the Bridge Notes and estimated accrued interest
thereon. The Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum and
are repayable on the earlier of the consummation of this offering or
October 11, 1997. The Company used the proceeds of the Bridge Financing
principally in connection with the repayment of approximately $583,000 of
indebtedness to Quantum and expenses associated with product development
and sales and marketing. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity."
(3) Represents anticipated costs associated with system refinement and
enhancement, the cost of hardware and estimated salaries of eleven
existing and up to seven additional technical personnel, including
consultants. See "Business -- Product Development."
(4) Represents anticipated costs associated with the purchase of computer
hardware for servers and related telecommunications equipment used to
support the Company's system infrastructure. See "Business --
Infrastructure, Operations and Technology."
(5) Working capital will be used, among other things, to pay compensation to
executive officers (which is anticipated to be approximately $580,000
during the twelve months following this offering) rent, trade payables,
license fees for content and software, professional fees and other
operating expenses. See "Management."
If the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, the
Company will realize additional net proceeds of $1,350,000 which will be
added to working capital.
Based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to its
operations (including the timetable of, and costs associated with, product
development and commercialization), the Company believes that the proceeds of
this offering will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated cash
requirements for at least twelve months following the consummation of this
offering. In the event the Company's plans change or its assumptions change
or prove to be inaccurate or the proceeds of this offering prove to be
insufficient to fund operations (due to unanticipated expenses, delays,
problems or otherwise), the Company may find it necessary or desirable to
reallocate a portion of the proceeds within the above described categories,
use proceeds for other purposes, seek additional financing or curtail its
operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Proceeds not immediately required for the purposes described above will be
invested principally in United States government securities, short-term
certificates of deposit, money market funds or other short-term interest-
bearing investments.

DILUTION
The difference between the initial public offering price per share of
Common Stock and the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this
offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible
book value per share of Common Stock is determined by dividing the net
tangible book value of the Company (total tangible assets less total
liabilities) on such date, by the number of shares of Common Stock.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had a negative net tangible book value
of ($1,153,582) or ($.54) per share. After giving retroactive effect to the
Pro Forma Adjustments, pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at
September 30, 1996 would have been $120,418, or $.03 per share. After giving
effect to the sale of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company
hereby and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds therefrom (less
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of this
offering), the adjusted net tangible book value of the Company as of
September 30, 1996 would have been approximately $7,416,418 or $1.30 per
share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of
$1.27 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $3.70
per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this dilution to
new investors on a per share basis:

The above table assumes no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment
option or outstanding options. If the Underwriter's over-allotment option is
exercised in full, the new investors will have paid $11,500,000 for 2,300,000
shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 71.1% of the total
consideration for 38.4% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are outstanding stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 768,050 shares of Common Stock at
exercise prices ranging from $1.04 to $5.00. To the extent that stock options
are exercised at prices below the public offering price there will be further
dilution to new investors. See "Management--1994 Stock Option Plan" and
"Underwriting."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company was organized in August 1992 and is still in the development
stage. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged primarily in product
development activities. The Company's initial product was introduced in early
1993 and has not yet proven to be commercially viable.
The Company has not yet generated any meaningful revenues, and will not
generate any meaningful revenues until after the Company successfully
completes development and market testing of HealthDesk OnLine and attracts
and retains a significant number of subscribers. For the period August 28,
1992 (inception) to September 30, 1996, the Company incurred a cumulative net
loss of approximately $4,555,000. Since September 30, 1996, the Company has
continued to incur increasing and significant losses and anticipates that it
will continue to incur significant losses until, at the earliest, the Company
generates sufficient revenues to offset the substantial up-front expenditures
and operating costs associated with developing and commercializing its
proposed products. The Company will also incur non-recurring charges related
to the Bridge Financing of approximately $1,054,000 upon the consummation of
this offering. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
attract and retain a sufficient number of subscribers to generate meaningful
revenues or achieve profitable operations or that HealthDesk OnLine will
prove to be commercially viable.
The Company's independent accountants have included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the Company's financial statements as to the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. This offering is an
integral part of the Company's plan to continue as a going concern. See Note
1 to Notes to Financial Statements.
Software development costs (consisting primarily of salaries and related
expenses) incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are
expensed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement No. 86. In accordance with FASB 86, the Company will capitalize
software development costs at such time as the technological feasibility of
the product has been established.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1996.
Revenue decreased by 97.2% from $223,432 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $6,170 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The decrease in revenues was principally due to the lack of development fees
during the period, which reflects the Company's shift in focus from the
development of specific disease software modules to the development of
HealthDesk OnLine.
Product development costs increased by 209.0% from $386,409 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $1,194,038 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to increased
additional programming and development personnel, including consultants
engaged in developing HealthDesk OnLine.
Sales and marketing costs increased 318.7% from $199,757 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $836,291 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to costs
associated with additional sales and marketing personnel engaged in marketing
HealthDesk OnLine commencing in the fourth quarter of 1995 and related
marketing expenses.
General and administrative costs increased by 42.2% from $395,853 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $562,986 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to salaries of
new management personnel. Costs also increased as a result of a non-recurring
write-off of deferred offering costs accrued during the period and expenses
associated with the Company's relocation to larger facilities.
Other (income) expense, net decreased by 55.2% from $22,407 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $10,046 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease was attributable to increased interest
income as a result of the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of Series A
Preferred Stock in December 1995.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of
$2,597,791 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to a net
loss of $781,594 for the prior comparable period.
19
<PAGE>
Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1995.
Revenue decreased by 43.6% from $397,240 for the year ended December 31,
1994 to $224,011 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease in development fee revenues. During
1995, the Company focused its efforts on the development of HealthDesk OnLine
and reduced its marketing and sales efforts relating to its HealthDesk
product.
Product development costs increased by 194.4% from $231,243 for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $680,886 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
increase in expenditures was principally related to the expansion of the
programming staff and associated costs related to the development of
HealthDesk OnLine.
Sales and marketing costs increased by 58.5% from $220,243 for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $349,133 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
This increase resulted primarily from the hiring of additional marketing
personnel and associated sales and marketing efforts in connection with
HealthDesk OnLine during the fourth quarter of 1995.
General and administrative costs increased by 240.6% from $170,598 for the
year ended December 31, 1994 to $581,043 for the year ended December 31,
1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of new
management personnel and severance costs relating to prior management and, to
a lesser extent, increased professional fees.
Other (income) expense, net increased by 327.3% from $11,378 for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $48,622 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This
increase was primarily attributable to increased interest expense as a result
of higher levels of borrowings.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of
$1,436,473 for the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to a net loss of
$237,022 for the prior comparable year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary capital requirements will be to fund the development
and commercialization of HealthDesk OnLine. The Company has historically
financed its operations through the issuance of debt and equity securities.
Prior to the issuance of 400,000 shares of Common Stock in the Bridge
Financing, the Company had issued an aggregate of 2,130,120 shares of Common
Stock resulting in net proceeds of $1,221,355. The foregoing excludes an
aggregate of (i) 100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
$500,000 principal amount of indebtedness on the date of this Prospectus and
(ii) 1,059,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each of which will convert
into one share of Common Stock upon the consummation of this offering.
In May 1994, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $500,000 from Quantum,
evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 7% per annum.
The Company repaid such note from proceeds of the Bridge Financing.
During the period from June through September 1995, the Company issued 6%
convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 to
John Pappajohn and Edgewater, principal shareholders of the Company. The
notes were converted into an aggregate of 768,000 shares of Common Stock in
September 1995. See "Certain Transactions."
In December 1995, Mr. Pappajohn exercised an option to purchase 96,000
shares of Common Stock for an aggregate exercise price of $100,000. See
"Certain Transactions."
In December 1995 and February 1996, the Company completed a private
placement of an aggregate of 1,059,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
received net proceeds of approximately $2,183,000. Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock automatically converts into one share of Common Stock upon
consummation of this offering.
In July and August 1996, the Company issued an aggregate of $500,000
principal amount 8% promissory notes to Mr. Pappajohn and Edgewater. Such
notes will automatically convert into 100,000 shares of Common Stock on the
date of this Prospectus. See "Certain Transactions."
In October 1996, the Company consummated the Bridge Financing pursuant to
which it issued $2,000,000 principal amount of Bridge Notes and 400,000
shares of Common Stock. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds
of this offering to repay the entire principal amount of and accrued interest
on the Bridge Notes.
20
<PAGE>
Since its inception, the Company has engaged primarily in research and
development and has generated limited revenues. The Company expects to incur
significant up-front expenses in connection with product development and
commercialization (including the payment of salaries for management,
technical, marketing and other personnel), which will result in significant
losses for the foreseeable future.
The Company's capital requirements relating to the development and
commercialization of HealthDesk OnLine have been and will continue to be
significant. Other than as described in this Prospectus, the Company has no
material commitments for capital expenditures. For the period August 28, 1992
(inception) to September 30, 1996, the Company had capital expenditures of
approximately $660,000 relating primarily to computer equipment. The Company
has committed to pay license fees for content and software aggregating
approximately $155,000 prior to December 31, 1996.
The Company is dependent on the proceeds of this offering or other
financing in order to continue in business and develop and commercialize its
proposed products. Based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating
to its operations (including the timetable of, and costs associated with,
product development and commercialization), the Company believes that the
proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash
requirements for at least twelve months following the consummation of this
offering. In the event that the Company's plans change, its assumptions
change or prove to be inaccurate or if the proceeds of this offering prove to
be insufficient to fund operations (due to unanticipated expenses, technical
difficulties, problems or otherwise), the Company would be required to seek
additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no
assurance that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to permit the
Company to successfully develop and commercialize HealthDesk OnLine or that
any assumptions relating to the Company's operations will prove to be
accurate. To the extent that the proceeds of this offering are not sufficient
to enable the Company to generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable
operations, the inability to obtain additional financing will have a material
adverse effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to
significantly curtail or cease its operations.
In addition, any implementation of the Company's business plans subsequent
to the twelve month period following this offering may require proceeds
greater than the proceeds of this offering or otherwise currently available
to the Company. The Company may determine, depending upon the opportunities
available to it, to seek additional debt or equity financing to fund
operations. To the extent that the Company finances operations through the
issuance of additional equity securities, any such issuance would result in
dilution to the interests of the Company's shareholders. Additionally, to the
extent that the Company incurs indebtedness or issues debt securities in
connection with funding operations, the Company will be subject to all of the
risks associated with incurring substantial indebtedness, including the risks
that interest rates may fluctuate and cash flow may be insufficient to pay
principal and interest on any such indebtedness. There can be no assurance
that any additional financing will be available to the Company on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
The Company, a development stage company, is engaged in designing,
developing and marketing HealthDesk OnLine, a healthcare management and
information system which enables consumers to take a more active role in
their personal and family health. HealthDesk OnLine features easy-to-use
Windows-based software designed to develop personal medical records and
health management programs and access educational, health related information
from the Company's private Website and over the Internet. The Company's
proposed system is intended to lower the cost and improve the quality and
accessibility of healthcare by promoting preventive maintenance and patient
compliance and permitting electronic mail communications between consumers
and healthcare providers and payers. HealthDesk OnLine is being developed in
response to perceived market opportunities arising from increasing efforts of
industry participants to stem the escalating cost of healthcare.
MARKET TRENDS
According to the Congressional Budget Office, annual healthcare
expenditures in the United States have grown from approximately $470 billion
in 1982 to more than $1 trillion in 1995, representing more than 14% of the
gross national product. It is estimated that more than $270 billion is spent
on the treatment and related costs of chronic diseases such as diabetes,
HIV/AIDS, cancer, cardio-vascular disease, obstructive pulmonary disease and
asthma. In response to escalating healthcare costs, federal and state
government authorities have increasingly emphasized stringent cost
containment measures, and healthcare payers and providers have focused on
programs which reduce the costs of providing medical products and services
and managing chronic diseases. Inasmuch as the Company is a development stage
company seeking to develop and commercialize a new product, aggregate
expenditures on healthcare in general and chronic diseases in particular, may
not be directly relevant to the Company's current prospects.
The Company believes that the broad range of capabilities combined in
HealthDesk OnLine, including the system's desktop and online functionality,
and the system's ability to link consumers with healthcare payers and
providers, differentiate HealthDesk OnLine from competitive products and make
it attractive to potential sponsoring organizations seeking to contain
healthcare costs. The Company believes that the following key trends will
contribute favorably to expected demand for HealthDesk OnLine:
o Proliferation of Managed Care and Competitive Pressures: The healthcare
industry has undergone significant transformation in recent years. With
the proliferation of managed care, employers, consumers and other
purchasers of healthcare have greater access to an increasing number of
managed care organizations which are experiencing competitive pressures
to differentiate their healthcare product and service offerings to
attract and retain members.
o Continuing Penetration of Computers and Modems in the Home: An
increasing percentage of computer owners also own modems, which are
being pre-installed in a growing number of new computers. The Software
Publishers Association estimates that approximately 33.9 million or 34%
of households in the United States owned a personal computer as of 1995,
of which approximately 70% also owned a modem. The Company believes that
this growth is accompanied by increasing use of computers for
communications such as facsimile transmissions and electronic mail.
o Growth of the Informational and Commercial Applications and Resources of
the Internet: Use of the Internet has grown rapidly since its
commercialization in the early 1990s. An increasing number of servers
and Websites are being connected to the Internet, making available
educational and healthcare text, graphics and audio and video
information which may be accessed by consumers. Traditional and emerging
Internet applications, including electronic mail and the World Wide Web,
are also increasing in popularity. Internet use is also being promoted
by the development of user-friendly navigation and search tools designed
to simplify consumer access to the Internet's resources.
o Rapidly Changing Consumer Demands: The Company believes that demand for
healthcare information and services is increasing as the "baby boomer"
generation reaches its peak healthcare consuming years. Consumers are
assuming greater responsibility for their healthcare decisions, seeking
as much informa-
22
<PAGE>
tion as possible when choosing a health plan, doctor or treatment.
According to the New York Times, the number of health related sites on
the World Wide Web has grown significantly, reflecting the growing
demand from consumers for information to help them make more informed
choices about their own care.
HEALTHDESK ONLINE
HealthDesk OnLine software contains several modules for recording
information (Health History and Records) and several modules which also
monitor the state of the user's lifestyle and efforts at preventive
maintenance (Health Diaries). These modules allow users to create an
extensive database that can be appended, searched, reviewed and printed at
any time. The Company's software also contains modules which provide access
to healthcare information from the Company's private Website and over the
Internet (Gateways and Services).
Health History and Records
Background. The background module is designed to store basic information,
such as name, age, sex, address, phone number, social security number,
insurance carrier and blood type of a user.
Personal Conditions. The personal conditions module is designed to track
doctor and hospital visits and other important health events, including
medications, vaccinations, charges, out-of-pocket expenses and insurance
reimbursements.
Family Health. The family health module is designed to track health
information relating to family members that could affect the health profile
of a user.
Medication History. The medication history module is designed to track
medication usage, including information relating to dosage, frequency, cost
and prescribing physician.
Supplies. The supplies module is designed to track health-related
supplies, such as bandages or syringes used on a regular basis, inventory and
costs.
Finances. The finances module is designed to collect and store information
from other health records modules to enable a user to organize and track
comprehensive medical costs.
Health Diaries
Exercise. The exercise module is designed to track exercise activities,
including aerobics, running, walking, weight lifting, swimming and bicycling.
Heart Health. The heart health module is designed to track serum
cholesterol levels, blood pressure and pulse.
Weight. The weight module is designed to track body fat, calorie intake,
calories burned and weight.
Vital Signs. The vital signs module is designed to track blood pressure,
weight, height, pulse and basal temperature.
Medications. The medications module is designed to track the date and time
medication is taken by the user.
Nutrition. The nutrition module is designed to track caloric intake and
calories burned, as well as fat, protein and carbohydrate consumption.
Each module includes a series of illustrated diagrams, which demonstrate
important features relating to a healthcare topic. HealthDesk OnLine software
permits a user to add other categories and variables not listed on a module.
Readings can be edited, summarized and graphed on-screen for detecting trends
and patterns in daily health activities.
Gateways and Services
Library. The HealthDesk OnLine library module contains an extensive
database of healthcare information, consisting primarily of licensed content.
Healthcare information currently includes pamphlets addressing specific
diseases and medical issues; a medical encyclopedia; a pharmacy reference;
information relating to self-help
23
<PAGE>
groups; and numerous articles from prominent healthcare periodicals such as
New England Journal of Medicine and Journal of the American Medical
Association. Healthcare information is stored in the Company's private
Website and is accessed through the use of a web browser incorporated into
the Company's software.
Internet Gateway. The Internet gateway module permits access to the World
Wide Web for additional healthcare information through the use of a web
browser. Access is limited to websites which the Company believes provide the
most relevant healthcare information.
Feedback. The feedback module allows users to access user surveys and
technical support forms.
Electronic Mail
HealthDesk OnLine is designed to permit secure electronic messaging
between consumers and healthcare payers and providers. Anticipated
communications between consumers, payers and providers relate to enrollment;
physician selection; test results and patient information; appointment
scheduling; reminders; provider directories; surveys; home treatment; and
explanation of benefits. The Company intends to employ RSA Data Security
encryption software on both the desktop and database server.
HealthDesk OnLine has been designed to operate on IBM compatible desktop
computers with a minimum requirement of a 80486DX central processing unit and
eight megabytes of random access memory. The system runs under Windows 95 and
Windows 3.1. Consumers may access the electronic mail system, the Company's
private Website and the Internet by dialing a local access number provided by
CompuServe. The minimum technical requirement to access the electronic
communications features is a 9600 Baud modem.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company's principal efforts to date have been devoted to the design
and development of HealthDesk OnLine. For the fiscal years ended December 31,
1994 and 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company
expended approximately $231,000, $681,000 and $1,194,000, respectively, on
product development. Product development expenses are expected to increase
through 1997 in connection with market testing activities. As of the date of
this Prospectus, eleven of the Company's twenty-four employees were engaged
in product development.
Although the Company believes that its development efforts relating to the
technological aspects of the basic HealthDesk OnLine platform are
substantially completed, the Company is continually seeking to refine and
enhance the capabilities of its products. The Company intends to use a
portion of the proceeds of this offering in connection with refining,
enhancing and developing system capabilities and features, including the
following:
Electronic Newsletter. The Company has recently incorporated into its
software an electronic newsletter function which includes a search engine
technology obtained from Verity, Inc. pursuant to a three year non- exclusive
license. Such technology is designed to automatically search content
databases and websites by topic of interest on a periodic basis. The Company
intends to use this capability to create reports in the form of personalized
newsletters which may be updated on a regular basis by the Company. The
Company believes that such newsletter also presents a significant opportunity
for advertising and promotional "tie-ins" with corporate sponsors.
"Chat" Capabilities. The Company will seek to develop and incorporate
online "chat" capabilities and sponsored healthcare forums into HealthDesk
OnLine. The Company anticipates that these features will provide consumers
with an opportunity to discuss healthcare issues with other consumers and
healthcare experts.
Health Risk Assessment. The Company will seek to incorporate into its
software, content and algorithms designed to assist in health risk assessment
by providing feedback with respect to the likelihood of risk of certain
diseases based on health information input by the user. The Company is
seeking to enter into a third-party license agreement in connection with such
enhancement.
Symptom Triage. The Company has recently incorporated into its products
software obtained from Healthwise, Inc. pursuant to a non-exclusive license.
Such software is designed to provide specific responses for treatment based
on information relating to symptoms input by the user.
24
<PAGE>
Medical Device Integration. The Company may also seek to develop features
which will facilitate the input of data from medical devices, such as blood
pressure cuffs, blood glucose monitors and peak flow meters, directly into
HealthDesk OnLine which data may be monitored by healthcare providers. Any
such feature may require the Company and/or the medical device manufacturer
to obtain pre-marketing regulatory approvals. See "Government Regulation."
Call Center. In the future, the Company may evaluate the feasibility of
offering call center services which would allow consumers to speak with a
nurse or other medical practitioner by phone. The Company believes that a
call center capability would enhance patient compliance with disease
management programs. In the event that the Company seeks to develop such
capability, it will become subject to increased government regulation. See
"Government Regulation."
In addition, the Company intends to develop specific disease management
modules designed to monitor chronic conditions. The Company believes that
disease management modules may increase compliance with treatment programs
designed to address the lifestyle of chronically-ill patients. In August
1996, the Company and MIIX entered into a letter of intent, as amended, which
contemplates that the Company will design, develop and test a software module
for diabetes patients. The letter of intent provides for MIIX to fund up to
$500,000 of the cost of developing such module, subject to mutually agreed
milestones, including target dates and acceptance criteria. The letter of
intent also contemplates that the Company would grant to MIIX a right of
first refusal to fund the development of other modules. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to enter into a definitive agreement
with MIIX or otherwise successfully develop or commercialize such software
module. See "Potential Markets and Marketing."
The markets for the Company's products are characterized by rapidly
changing technology and evolving industry standards, often resulting in
product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the ability
of the Company to compete will be dependent on the Company's ability to
complete development and introduce HealthDesk OnLine into the marketplace in
a timely manner, to continually enhance and improve its software and to
successfully develop and market new products. There can be no assurance that
competitors will not develop technologies or products that render the
Company's products obsolete or less marketable or that the Company will be
able to successfully enhance its products or develop new products.
MARKET TESTING
In July 1996, the Company commenced preliminary market testing of
HealthDesk OnLine pursuant to a license agreement with BCMA. The Company
agreed to grant to BCMA a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license
to use the HealthDesk trademark and to distribute HealthDesk OnLine to its
members, subscribers and insureds. The Company also agreed that until the end
of 1997 it will not grant a license to any health maintenance organization
which includes rights to distribute HealthDesk OnLine to members in
Massachusetts.
The Company has modified HealthDesk OnLine to satisfy BCMA's requirements
and BCMA is currently testing such product. In the event of successful
initial acceptance testing, the proposed market test contemplates that BCMA
will distribute HealthDesk OnLine to up to 50 of its employees during a
period of ninety days commencing November 1, 1996 and thereafter BCMA will
have an additional thirty days to determine whether to distribute HealthDesk
OnLine to up to 500 of its members. The Company currently anticipates that
BCMA will commence distributing HealthDesk OnLine to its employees in late
December 1996. The market test is intended to provide information on the
product's usability and acceptance by consumers and to test the technical
aspects of the Company's software. The Company also recently entered into a
license agreement with BCI to conduct similar market testing to up to 150 of
BCI employee households. There can be no assurance that such market testing
will be conducted on a timely basis or that such testing will be successful.
The agreements with BCMA and BCI require each to pay development fees in
the event they require modifications to HealthDesk OnLine. The agreements
also provide for the payment of member maintenance fees; installation fees;
transaction fees; and online service fees. The Company has waived payment of
a master license fee in connection with each agreement. The Company's
agreement with BCMA terminates on April 1, 1997, unless otherwise extended,
provided that for a period of six months following termination the Company
may not grant a license to any health maintenance organization which includes
rights to distribute HealthDesk OnLine to members in Massachusetts. The
Company's agreement with BCI terminates in February 1997.
25
<PAGE>
The Company currently proposes to conduct market testing of HealthDesk
OnLine with BCMA and BCI and other potential sponsoring organizations. The
Company's success may be highly dependent upon the results of market testing
and there can be no assurance that such tests will be successful. If such
tests are not successful, the Company will be required to attempt to enhance
or modify HealthDesk OnLine so that it will meet with sponsoring organization
and consumer acceptance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to modify HealthDesk OnLine so that positive test results can be
demonstrated. Even if test results are positive, there can be no assurance
that sponsoring organizations will be sufficiently encouraged by the results
to commit to use HealthDesk OnLine on a non-market test basis. They may elect
to utilize other products, services or technologies which they believe to be
more efficient or have other cost advantages over the Company's system. In
addition, there can be no assurance that positive test results will translate
into consumer acceptance over a longer period of time or that sponsoring
organizations or consumers will be satisfied with operational results. In
1994, Kaiser and Quantum conducted limited consumer acceptance testing
activities with respect to the Company's initial product and a specific
disease software module. While the Company believes that the results of such
testing were positive, the Company does not have any further arrangements
with either Kaiser or Quantum to test such products.
POTENTIAL MARKETS AND MARKETING
The Company initially intends to offer HealthDesk OnLine with no license
fee to potential sponsoring organizations willing to participate in market
testing in order to closely monitor performance and provide support for the
users of such product. Such activities are expected to allow the Company to
adapt and revise its proposed products in light of market needs and user
feedback, to develop pricing strategies relative to cost structure, to test
new products and features and to correct software or product defects which
may arise. Thereafter, although the Company will seek to develop and
commercialize specific disease management modules, the Company's primary
marketing strategy is to license HealthDesk OnLine to sponsoring
organizations (including pharmaceutical companies, managed care
organizations, disease management companies, employers and affinity groups)
with access to significant numbers of potential subscribers. The Company
believes that the addition of HealthDesk OnLine to the products and services
of sponsoring organizations could enhance the competitive position of such
organizations by differentiating such organizations' products and services
from those of competitors.
The Company intends to focus its efforts on healthcare organizations
primarily responsible for bearing the financial risk of patients with chronic
diseases. The Company's letter of intent with MIIX contemplates that the
Company would pay royalties to MIIX ranging from 3% to 10% of revenues
derived from the sale or license of a software module designed for diabetes
patients. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter
into a definitive marketing agreement or that any marketing efforts
undertaken by MIIX will be successful.
The Company is currently evaluating various other commercialization
strategies, including the license of HealthDesk OnLine to manufacturers of
medical devices, pursuant to arrangements by which such manufacturers would
bundle such product with the products of such manufacturers. The Company does
not have any specific plans or arrangements with respect to such products and
any such arrangements could require the Company and/or a medical device
manufacturer to obtain pre-marketing regulatory approvals. See "Government
Regulation."
The Company may also seek to establish strategic relationships with third
parties relating to product development and marketing. In May 1996, the
Company entered into cross-license agreements with Patient Infosystems Inc.
("PII"), formerly known as Disease State Management, Inc., a company engaged
in providing healthcare information systems designed to improve patient
compliance. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company granted to PII a
non-exclusive right to market HealthDesk OnLine and PII granted to the
Company a non-exclusive right to market PII's advanced voice recognition
telephone system capabilities. The Company believes that such arrangement
will permit the Company to offer its services to patients who do not have
access to personal computers.
Under the agreements, each party agreed to seek cost estimates (which
would be based on direct costs incurred) in developing modifications
necessary to deliver specific services requested by potential customers.
Operational fees would be based on certain assumptions contained in the
agreements (subject to the parties' standard terms and conditions). The
agreements have an initial term of six months and are automatically renew-
26
<PAGE>
able for successive terms unless either party gives 30 days' written notice
prior to the termination of any renewal term. The agreements provide for each
party to pay an initial license fee of $25,000 and $25,000 for each renewal
term. John Pappajohn, a director and principal shareholder of the Company, is
a principal shareholder and director of PII. Edgewater, a principal
shareholder of the Company, is also a principal shareholder of PII. PII may
be a competitor of the Company. See "Certain Transactions."
The Company's prospects will be substantially affected by its ability to
successfully develop and maintain relationships with key sponsoring
organizations, which will promote their services using HealthDesk OnLine and,
at the same time attract significant numbers of subscribers. The Company's
revenues from third-party marketing arrangements are generally expected to be
lower than if the Company sold its products directly to end-users, although
the Company would not incur the expense of creating a distribution network
and would anticipate a greater volume of end-user sales. To the extent that
the Company is ultimately able to enter into satisfactory third-party
marketing arrangements, the Company will be largely dependent on the efforts
of such third parties. In the case of any such arrangements, the Company's
products will require adaptation for specific customers, which could delay
product commercialization. In addition, the Company will be dependent on the
marketing efforts of third parties and on the marketability and sales of
their products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
enter into third-party marketing arrangements, that it will be able to adapt
its products for specific customers on a timely basis, or at all, or that the
Company will realize substantial revenues from any such arrangements.
The Company's executive officers and marketing staff of three persons are
currently responsible for substantially all of the Company's marketing
efforts. Because of the nature of the Company's business, the Company's
executive officers are expected to continue to devote significant time to
develop personal relationships with senior contacts at sponsoring
organizations. The Company's ability to market HealthDesk OnLine may be
limited by the number of marketing personnel and will be largely dependent
upon the efforts of such individuals. HealthDesk, the Company's initial
product, is currently marketed directly to consumers pursuant to agreements
with two independent sales representatives. The Company does not expect
future revenues derived from such product to be meaningful.
The Company's marketing strategy and preliminary and future marketing
plans may be unsuccessful and are subject to change as a result of a number
of factors, including progress or delays in the Company's marketing efforts,
changes in market conditions (including the emergence of potentially
significant related market segments for applications of the Company's
technology), the nature of possible license and distribution arrangements
which may become available to it in the future and economic, political,
regulatory and competitive factors. There can be no assurance that the
Company's strategy will result in successful product commercialization.
COMPETITION
The markets that the Company intends to enter are characterized by intense
competition and an increasing number of new market entrants who have
developed or are developing competitive products. The Company will face
competition from numerous sources, including prospective customers which may
develop and market their own competitive products and services, health
information system vendors, software companies and online and Internet
service providers. The Company believes that competition will be based
primarily on ease of use, features (including communications capabilities and
content) and price. The Company believes that the combination of desktop and
online functionality of HealthDesk OnLine may provide the Company with a
competitive advantage.
In addition, certain companies have developed or may be expected to
develop technologies or products in related market segments which could
compete with certain technologies or products being developed by the Company.
The Company expects that companies which have developed or are developing
such technologies or products, as well as other companies (including
established and newly formed companies) may attempt to develop products
directly competitive with HealthDesk OnLine. In particular, several
companies, including Healtheon, IBM Global Health Village, MedAccess
Corporation, CareSoft, Inc., Access Health, Inc. and America's Housecalls
Network, have announced plans to develop and commercialize competitive
product and service offerings. Among other things, these products and
services include the use of the Internet for electronic communication between
health plans and consumers regarding plan matters, World Wide Web sites with
information
27
<PAGE>
regarding healthcare related matters and other Internet based products which
are to offer health related information. Certain of such competitors have
substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution personnel
and other resources than the Company, permitting such companies to implement
extensive marketing campaigns, both generally and in response to efforts by
additional competitors to enter into new markets and market new products and
services.
Healtheon has announced that it has entered into an agreement with BCMA
relating primarily to the electronic exchange of health plan benefit
information between consumers and health plans. There can be no assurance
that Healtheon's relationship with BCMA will not adversely affect the
Company's ability to successfully market HealthDesk OnLine to BCMA or that
the Company will be able to compete successfully.
INFRASTRUCTURE, OPERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY
The Company intends to make HealthDesk OnLine available to users through a
set of network servers housed in Berkeley, California. The Company
anticipates that access to the Internet will be provided on a 24 hour a day,
seven days a week basis through various communications line providers.
The Company's operations will depend upon the capacity, reliability and
security of its system infrastructure. The Company currently has limited
system capacity and will be required to continually expand its system
infrastructure to accommodate significant numbers of users and increasing
amounts of information they may wish to access. Expansion of the Company's
system infrastructure will require substantial financial, operational and
management resources. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of
this offering to purchase computer equipment to expand system capacity. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to expand its system
infrastructure to meet potential demand on a timely basis, at a commercially
reasonable cost, or at all. Failure by the Company to expand its network
infrastructure on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. In addition, the Company will be dependent upon Web browsers and
third-party Internet and online service providers for access to the Company's
services, hardware suppliers for prompt delivery, installation and service of
computer equipment used to deliver the Company's services and on content
providers to provide current healthcare information for use by consumers.
The Company has entered into an Online Vendor License Agreement with
Information Access Company ("IAC") for online access to an electronic
database of proprietary content. The IAC database is currently the principal
source of content available on the Company's private Website and includes a
wide range of consumer- oriented health publications, medical journals,
articles, pamphlets and reference books. The non-exclusive, worldwide,
royalty-bearing license requires the Company to include IAC's standard terms
and conditions in the Company's standard subscriber terms and conditions, and
display certain IAC legends and copyright notices. Either party may terminate
the agreement with ninety days' notice after completion of a nine-month beta
test period, which expires in May 1997. Thereafter, the agreement continues
for a three-year period and may be terminated by either party at the end of
each year with ninety days' notice.
The Company has entered into a Content License Agreement with Healthwise,
Inc. ("Healthwise"), a publisher of self care health information for
consumers. The agreement provides a non-exclusive, worldwide, license to the
Company for the use of certain content published by Healthwise, including the
Healthwise Handbook and Pathways. The agreement continues indefinitely and is
terminable for cause upon two weeks' notice and without cause upon six
months' notice. In addition, the Company has entered into a Software License
Agreement with Healthwise for the use of Healthwise's Knowledgebase Symptom
Manager and Health and Disease Manager software in the Company's products.
Such software is designed to allow the Company's customers to triage their
symptoms and locate information on specific disease states. The agreement
provides for a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license. The
agreement has renewable one-year terms, unless terminated by either party
upon ninety-days' notice prior to expiration of the then current term.
The Company has entered into a Subscription License Agreement with Verity,
Inc. ("Verity") for the use in the Company's on-line products of certain
information indexing and retrieval software. The search engine feature is
used to locate content on the IAC database through the Company's development
of search queries. The agreement provides for a non-exclusive, worldwide,
royalty-bearing license. The agreement expires in May 1997.
The Company has entered into a license agreement with Netscape, Inc. to
license Netscape's browser technology for integration into the Company's
product. The license is a royalty bearing non-exclusive license for an
initial one year period expiring in September 1997.
28
<PAGE>
The Company has entered into an OEM Master License Agreement with RSA Data
Security, Inc. ("RSA") for the use of certain encryption software to secure
the Company's messaging system. The Company intends to use the RSA encryption
software on both the desktop as well as the Company's private website to
ensure that all communications are secure. Through the use of a public key
system of encryption, the Company is able to encode patient communications,
which may only be decrypted by the designated receiver. The agreement
provides for a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license.
The Company believes that if any of such licenses are terminated, that
there are multiple other sources from which the Company will be able to
license appropriate content or similar technology.
POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
In recent years, participants in the healthcare industry have been subject
to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging malpractice, product liability
and related legal theories, many of which involve large claims and
significant defense costs. Due to the nature of its business, the Company
could become involved in litigation regarding the healthcare information
transmitted over its system with the risk of adverse publicity, significant
defense costs and substantial damage awards. The Company has adopted policies
and procedures intended to reduce the risk of claims, which include the
provision of disclaimers in connection with its services. The Company does
not maintain malpractice liability insurance.
In addition, because healthcare information and materials may be
downloaded and may be subsequently distributed to others, there is a
potential that claims will be made against the Company for defamation,
negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other theories based on
the nature and content of such materials. The Company also could be exposed
to liability in connection with the selection of materials that may be
accessible over its system. Claims could be made against the Company if
material deemed inappropriate for viewing by children could be accessed. The
Company carries an umbrella insurance policy with a limit of $4 million in
the aggregate, general liability insurance with a limitation of $2 million in
aggregate and $1 million per occurrence and errors and omissions insurance
with a limitation of $1 million in the aggregate. Nevertheless, the Company's
insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate
to cover liability that may be imposed or related defense costs. There can be
no assurance that the Company will not face claims resulting in substantial
liability for which the Company is partially or completely uninsured. Any
partially or completely uninsured claim against the Company, if successful
and of sufficient magnitude, would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The healthcare industry is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently
changing federal and state regulation which is interpreted and enforced by
regulatory authorities with broad discretion. Among other things, these
regulations govern the provision of healthcare services and the marketing of
medical devices. These regulations generally predate the development of
products and services such as those offered by the Company and the
application and enforcement of such regulations to the Company and its
products and services is uncertain. However, certain of the statutes
governing the provision of healthcare services could be construed by
regulatory authorities to apply to the Company's proposed business
activities. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities do not or
will not deem the Company's business activities to constitute the unlicensed
practice of medicine.
Furthermore, in the event the Company develops features which facilitate
the input of data from medical devices directly into HealthDesk OnLine, it is
possible that the Federal Food and Drug Administration could require the
Company and/or an equipment manufacturer to obtain pre-marketing clearance
with respect to any such product. The process of obtaining and maintaining
required regulatory approval can be lengthy, expensive and uncertain. Even if
regulatory approvals are obtained, a marketed product and its manufacturer
are subject to continuing regulatory review, and discovery of previously
unknown problems could result in restrictions on such product or
manufacturer, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Amendments
to or interpretation and enforcement of existing statutes or regulations, the
adoption of new statutes or regulations or the development of new
enhancements and features to HealthDesk OnLine could subject the Company to
increased regulation and require the Company to alter methods of operation at
costs which could be substantial. Failure to comply with applicable laws and
regulations could subject the Company to civil remedies, including
substantial fines, penalties and injunctions, as well as possible criminal
sanctions.
29
<PAGE>
Although there are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable
to access to or commerce on the Internet, due to the increasing popularity
and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be
adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy,
pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. The
Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996, which was recently enacted, imposes
criminal penalties on anyone who distributes obscene, lascivious or indecent
communications on the Internet. Although the enforcement of such statute has
been enjoined and is currently subject to challenge in the courts, the
adoption of any such laws or regulations may limit the growth of the
Internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for the Company's products
and services and increase the Company's cost of doing business. Inasmuch as
the applicability to the Internet of the existing laws governing issues such
as property ownership, libel and personal privacy is uncertain, any such new
legislation or regulation or the application of existing laws and regulations
to the Internet could have an adverse effect on the Company's proposed
business and prospects.
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND TRADEMARKS
The Company does not hold any patents or registered copyrights. The
Company regards certain computer software it has developed for HealthDesk
OnLine as proprietary and attempts to protect it with copyrights, trade
secret laws, proprietary rights agreements and internal nondisclosure
agreements and safeguards. However, such methods may not afford complete
protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently
develop know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how or software
codes, concepts, ideas and documentation. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that nondisclosure agreements with the Company's employees will
adequately protect the Company's trade secrets. Although the Company believes
that its proposed products do not and will not infringe patents or violate
proprietary rights of others, it is possible that infringement of existing or
future patents or proprietary rights of others have occurred or may occur. In
the event the Company's proposed products infringe patents or proprietary
rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of its
proposed products or obtain a license. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and
conditions or at all. The failure to do any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect upon the Company. In addition, there can be no
assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources
necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement action and the Company
could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which also
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company currently holds a United States trademark registration for the
"HealthDesk" name and related logo. The Company is not aware of any claims or
infringement or other challenges to the Company's rights to use this mark.
EMPLOYEES
As of November 30, 1996, the Company had 24 full time employees, of which
four were executive officers, eleven were engaged in product development,
three were engaged in marketing and six were engaged in administrative
activities. The Company's employees are not represented by a collective
bargaining unit. The Company believes that its relations with its employees
are good.
FACILITIES
The Company's facilities are located in 5,701 square feet of leased office
space in Berkeley, California. The lease expires in January 1999 and provides
for an annual rental of $108,564.
The Company's operations will be dependent on the Company's ability to
protect its computer equipment against damage from fire, earthquakes, power
loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. The Company does not
presently have redundant, multiple site capacity in the event of any such
occurrence. Notwithstanding the implementation of system security measures by
the Company, its servers will also be vulnerable to computer viruses,
break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with the
Company's computer systems. Computer viruses or problems caused by third
parties could lead to material interruptions, delays or cessation in service
to consumers.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to two complaints filed by former employees with
the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing. One claim alleges
wrongful termination as a result of alleged denial of reasonable
30
<PAGE>
accommodation for a wrist and neck injury. The second complaint alleges that
the former employee was subject to sexual harassment by a former officer of
the Company. The Company intends to defend these matters vigorously. There
can be no assurance, however, that such matters will be resolved in a manner
favorable to the Company.

1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company's 1994 Founder's Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") became
effective in June 1994 and was amended most recently in March 1996. The
purpose of the Option Plan is to attract and retain qualified personnel, to
provide additional incentives to employees, officers and consultants of the
Company and to promote the success of the Company's business. A reserve of
950,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock has been established for
issuance under the Option Plan. The Option Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Subject
to the Option Plan, the Committee has complete discretion to determine which
eligible individuals are to receive option grants, the number of shares
subject to each such grant, the status of any granted option as either an
incentive stock option or a non-statutory option, the vesting schedule to be
in effect for the option grant and the maximum term for which any granted
option is to remain outstanding.
Each option granted under the Option Plan has a maximum term of ten years,
subject to earlier termination following the optionee's cessation of service
with the Company. Options are generally immediately exercisable subject to a
right of repurchase in favor of the Company at the original exercise price
which expires over a four-year vesting period. The exercise price of
incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options granted under the
Option Plan must be at least 100% and 85% of the fair market value of the
stock subject to the option on the date of grant, respectively or 110% with
respect to holders of more than 10% of the voting power of the Company's
outstanding stock. The Committee determines the fair market value of the
stock. The purchase price is payable immediately upon the exercise of the
option. Such payment may be made in cash, or at the discretion of the
Committee, in outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the participant,
through a full recourse promissory note payable in installments over a period
of years or any combination of the foregoing.
The Board of Directors may amend or modify the Option Plan at any time,
provided that no such amendment or modification may adversely affect the
rights and obligations of the participants with respect to their outstanding
options or unvested shares without their consent. In addition, no amendment
of the Option Plan may, without the approval of the Company's shareholders,
(i) materially modify the class of individuals eligible for participation,
(ii) increase the number of shares available for issuance, except in the
event of certain changes to the Company's capital structure, (iii) materially
increase the benefits accruing to Optionees under the Option Plan, or (iv)
extend the term of the Option Plan. The Option Plan will terminate in June
2004, unless terminated earlier by the Board.
As of the date of this Prospectus, there are options to purchase an
aggregate of 768,050 shares outstanding under the Plan with an average
exercise price of $2.95. Peter O'Donnell holds 180,000 outstanding options,
135,324 of which were granted at an exercise price of $1.04 per share and
44,676 of which were granted at an exercise price of $2.08 per share. Joseph
Rudick holds 24,000 options, 12,000 of which were granted at an exercise
price of $1.04 per share, and 12,000 of which were granted at an exercise
price of $1.67 per share. Molly Coye holds 132,000 outstanding options,
96,000 of which were granted at an exercise price of $3.33 per share and
36,000 of which were granted at $5.00 per share. Timothy Yamauchi holds
60,000 outstanding options, 45,210 of which were granted at an exercise price
of $1.04 per share, and 14,790 of which were granted at an exercise price of
$2.08 per share. Gerald Zieg holds 50,000 outstanding options which were
granted at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.
34
<PAGE>
All options are immediately exercisable subject to repurchase rights in
favor of the Company based upon the following vesting schedule: the optionee
shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Company's repurchase rights will
accordingly lapse with respect to, (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the
option shares upon completion of one year of service (as a director or
employee, as the case may be) measured from the respective vesting
commencement date, and (ii) the balance of the option shares in equal
successive monthly installments upon completion of each of the next
thirty-six (36) months of service measured from and after the first
anniversary of such vesting commencement date.
OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan and a Section 125 medical and
dental savings plan.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") limit the
liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by California law. The
Articles authorize the Company to indemnify agents of the Company in excess
of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the California
General Corporation Law, subject only to applicable limits set forth in
Section 204 of the California General Corporation Law with respect to actions
for breach of duty to the corporation and its shareholders.
The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent
permitted by law. The Company believes that indemnification under its Bylaws
covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of indemnified
parties. The Company's Bylaws also permit it to secure insurance on behalf of
any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out
of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Bylaws
would permit indemnification.
The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
executive officers. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Company's directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any
such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the
right of the Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or
executive officer of the Company or any other company or enterprise to which
the person provides services at the request of the Company. The Company
believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and
retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification
will be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any threatened
litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such
indemnification.

The Company believes that all of the foregoing transactions and
arrangements were fair and reasonable to the Company and were on terms no
less favorable than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
There can be no assurance, however, that future transactions or arrangements
between the Company and its affiliates will continue to be advantageous to
the Company, that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect thereto,
or that if conflicts do arise, they will be resolved in a manner favorable to
the Company. Any such future transactions will be on terms no less favorable
to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and will be
approved by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of the
Board of Directors, outside the presence of any interested directors and, to
the extent deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, the Company will
obtain shareholder approval or fairness opinions in connection with any such
transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Upon completion of this offering, the authorized capital stock of the
Company will consist of 17,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 5,689,720 of which
will be outstanding, and 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, none of which
will be outstanding. The following description of the capital stock of the
Company and certain provisions of the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the
provisions of the Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of
which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election of
directors, and, subject to preferences that may be applicable to any
Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally available therefor. See "Dividend Policy." In
the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to the
shareholders, subject to any preferential rights of any preferred stock then
outstanding. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other
subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or
sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock. All outstanding
shares of Common Stock are, and the shares offered hereby upon issuance and
sale will be, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and
privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred
stock which the Company may designate and issue in the future.
The Company's shareholders currently may cumulate their votes for the
election of directors so long as at least one shareholder has given notice at
the meeting of shareholders prior to the voting of that shareholder's desire
to cumulate his or her votes. Cumulative voting may be eliminated by
amendment to the Articles or the Company's Bylaws if (i) the Company's shares
of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq National Market and the Company has
at least 800 holders of its equity securities as of the record date of the
Company's most recent annual meeting of shareholders or (ii) the Company's
shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the
American Stock Exchange.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of
such shares, 1,200,000 represent Series A Preferred Stock of which the
1,059,600 outstanding shares will automatically convert upon the consummation
of this offering. The remaining 1,800,000 shares may be issued from time to
time in one or more series upon authorization by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors, without further approval of the
shareholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion
rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences,
and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to
each series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while
providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate purposes could, among other things, adversely affect the voting
power of the holders of Common Stock and, under certain circumstances, make
it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the Company,
discourage bids for the Company's Common Stock at a premium or otherwise
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. The Company has no
current plans to issue any preferred stock.
Registration Rights
In connection with this offering, the Company has agreed to grant to the
Underwriter certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection
with the 200,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the

efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i)

been sold pursuant thereto and (ii) the date the Selling Shareholders receive
an opinion of counsel that the full amount of their shares may be freely sold

38
<PAGE>

the Company defaults in its obligations to maintain the Registration
Statement effective or otherwise fails to comply with certain other
registration rights obligations of the Bridge Financing, the Company may be
obligated to issue up to an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock to the
investors which participated in the Bridge Financing.

indirectly, offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common
Stock without the prior written consent of the Underwriter for a period of

certain conditions, including that the request must be received one year or

31, 2000. Further, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its

SmallCap Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which
notice of the proposed sale is sent to the Commission. Sales under Rule 144
are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements
and the availability of current public information about the Company. If
three years have elapsed since the later of the date of the acquisition of
restricted shares of Common Stock from the Company or any affiliate of the
Company, a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company
at any time for 90 days preceding a sale would be entitled to sell such
shares under Rule 144 without regard to the volume limitations, manner of
sale provisions or notice requirements.
The Company's officers, directors and security holders (excluding the
holders of 42,000 shares of Common Stock) have agreed not to sell or dispose
of any of their securities of the Company for a period of eighteen months
from the date of this Prospectus without the Underwriter's prior written
consent.

Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock and
no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that public sales of
shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have
on the market prices of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time.
However, the possibility that a substantial amount of Common Stock may be
sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for
the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital
through the sale of its equity securities.
UNDERWRITING
Whale Securities Co., L.P. (the "Underwriter") has agreed, subject to the
terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the Company. The Underwriter is
committed to purchase and pay for all of the Common Stock offered hereby if
any of such securities are purchased. The Common Stock is being offered by
the Underwriter, subject to prior sale, when, as and if delivered to and
accepted by the Underwriter and subject to approval of certain legal matters
by counsel and to certain other conditions.
The Underwriter has advised the Company that it proposes to offer the
Common Stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriter may allow to certain dealers
who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealer, Inc. (the
"NASD") concessions, not in excess of $ per share of Common Stock, of
which not in excess of $ per share of Common Stock may be reallowed to
other dealers who are members of the NASD.
The Company has granted to the Underwriter an option, exercisable for 45
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 300,000 additional
shares of Common Stock at the public offering price set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The
Underwriter may exercise this option in whole or, from time to time, in part,
solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in
connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
The Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriter a non-accountable expense
allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds of this offering, of which $50,000 has
been paid as of the date of this Prospectus. The Company has also agreed to
pay all expenses in connection with qualifying the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby for sale under the laws of such states as the Underwriter may
designate, including expenses of counsel retained for such purpose by the
Underwriter.
The Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriter and its designees
warrants (the "Underwriter's Warrants") to purchase up to 200,000 shares of
Common Stock at a purchase price of $7.50 per share. The Underwriter's
Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated for one year
from the date of this Prospectus, except to the officers and partners of the
Underwriter and members of the selling group, and are exercisable during the
five-year period commencing on the date of this Prospectus (the "Warrant
Exercise Term"). During the Warrant Exercise Term, the holders of the
Underwriter's Warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when the
Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on
terms more favorable to the Company than those provided in the Underwriter's
Warrants. Any profit realized by the Underwriter on the sale of the
Underwriter's Warrants or the underlying securities may be deemed additional
underwriting compensation. Subject to certain limitations and exclusions, the
Company has agreed, at the request of the holders of a majority of the
Underwriter's Warrants, at the Company's expense, to register the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act
on one occasion during the Warrant Exercise Term and to include such
underlying securities in any appropriate Registration Statement which is
filed by the Company during the seven years following the date of this
Prospectus.
The Underwriter acted as placement agent in connection with the Bridge
Financing and received $200,000 (representing 10% of the purchase price of
the units) and a non-accountable expense allowance of $35,000.
All of the officers and directors and shareholders of the Company holding
an aggregate of 3,569,720 shares of the Common Stock (excluding the holders
of 42,000 shares of Common Stock) have agreed that they will not sell any
shares of Common Stock of the Company for a period of eighteen months after
the date of this Prospectus without prior written consent of the Underwriter.
40
<PAGE>
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Underwriter has informed the Company that it does not expect sales
made to discretionary accounts to exceed 1% of the securities offered hereby.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public trading market for the
Common Stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price of the Common
Stock has been determined by negotiations between the Company and the
Underwriter. Among the factors considered in determining the offering price
were the Company's financial condition and prospects, market prices of
similar securities of comparable publicly-traded companies, certain financial
and operating information of companies engaged in activities similar to those
of the Company and the general condition of the securities market.

<PAGE>
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
An aggregate of up to 400,000 shares may be offered and sold pursuant to

therewith. The shares have been included in the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part. None of the such shares may be sold by
the Selling Shareholders prior to eighteen months after the date of this
Prospectus, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. None of the
Selling Shareholders has ever held any position or office with the Company or
had any other material relationship with the Company except that John
Pappajohn is a director and principal shareholder of the Company and

The shares may be offered and sold from time to time as market conditions
permit in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then
prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in
negotiated transactions. The shares may be sold by one or more of the
following methods, without limitation: (a) a block trade in which a broker or
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or
dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases; and (d)

Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Such

Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. Such broker and dealers and any
other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
HealthDesk Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of HealthDesk Corporation
(a development stage company) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
related statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years then ended, and for the period from August 28, 1992
(inception) to December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of HealthDesk Corporation as
of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended, and for the period from August 28, 1992
(inception) to December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company is still in the development stage and,
therefore, has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from
operating activities since inception. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HEALTHDESK CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
HealthDesk Corporation (the Company), a development stage company, is
engaged in designing, developing and marketing HealthDesk(R) Online, a
healthcare management and information system which enables consumers to take
a more active role in their personal and family health. HealthDesk Online
features easy-to-use Windows-based software designed to develop personal
medical records and health management programs and access educational, health
related information from the Company's private website and over the Internet.
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company is still in the development
stage and substantially all of its revenues were derived from certain
development contracts relating to specific disease management modules in its
initial product. Since inception, the Company has devoted a substantial
effort to developing new products and has therefore incurred losses from
operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. The Company is striving to achieve profitable
operations by commercializing its products and obtaining contracts with
potential sponsoring organizations. The Company is also actively seeking to
raise additional capital through the offering of debt and common stock.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to achieve
profitable operations or raise additional capital will be successful. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The financial statements as of and for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
During 1994 and 1995, the Company's revenues were generated primarily from
two software development contracts. These revenues were recognized when the
Company achieved designated milestones and received customer acceptance as
specified in the related contracts.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances, money market
instruments, and other highly liquid investments with insignificant interest
rate risk and original maturities of three months or less.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (SFAS
86), requires that software development costs be capitalized once the
technological feasibility of the software product has been established. To
date, such amounts eligible for capitalization have been insignificant and
have been charged to product development expense in the period incurred.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three years for
computer hardware and purchased computer software and five years for
furniture and fixtures, and over the remaining term of the facility lease for
leasehold improvements.

HEALTHDESK CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: - (Continued)
When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
included in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred.
INCOME TAXES:
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109).
Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined
based on the difference between the financial reporting amounts and tax bases
of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts
in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates in effect for the years in
which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to
the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable
for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
COMPUTATION OF NET LOSS PER SHARE:
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares, consisting
of stock options and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the
computation, except as required by Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 83 (SAB 83), because they would have an anti-dilutive
impact. Pursuant to SAB 83, common shares and convertible preferred shares
issued by the Company during the twelve months immediately preceding an
offering date, plus the number of common equivalent shares which became
issuable during the same period pursuant to the grant of stock options (using
the treasury stock method and the proposed public offering price) have been
included in the calculation of common and common equivalent shares as if they
were outstanding for all periods presented.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
On September 19, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1.2 for
1 stock split of the Company's common and preferred stock. All share and per
share amounts included in these financial statements have been restated to
retroactively reflect the stock split.
On September 19, 1996, the Company also amended its Articles of
Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock and preferred
stock to 17,000,000 and 3,000,000, respectively, and to increase the number
of shares of preferred stock designated as Series A to 1,200,000.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS 123) was issued and is
effective for the Company's 1996 year. The Company intends to continue to
account for employee stock options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and,
accordingly, will comply with the pro forma disclosures required by FAS 123.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss
or shareholders' deficit as previously reported.
3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:
The Company places its temporary cash investments with one financial
institution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
and generally does not require collateral. Two customers accounted for
approximately 76% and 5%, respectively, of revenues in 1994 and 40% and 56%,
respectively, in 1995. Additionally, one customer accounted for approximately
96% and 92%, respectively, of revenues for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996.
4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30,
1996, consisted of the following:

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1994 and

significant temporary differences and carryforwards that gave rise to
deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, is as follows:

Due to the uncertainty of realization, a valuation allowance has been
provided to eliminate the net deferred tax assets at both December 31, 1994
and 1995. The increase in the valuation allowance was $122,000 and $487,500
during the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $1,700,000 and $860,000 for federal income tax and
California state franchise tax purposes, respectively. The federal
carryforwards expire through 2010 (through 2000 for state carryforwards). As
of December 31, 1995, the Company also has research and experimentation tax
credit carryforwards of $35,000 and $24,000 for federal and state tax
purposes, respectively. These carryforwards expire in the years ending 2007
through 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5. Income Taxes: - (Continued)
Pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of
these net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will be subject to an
annual limitation due to the occurrence of a greater than 50% change in the
ownership of the Company during fiscal 1995 as it applies to net operating
losses which occurred prior to the change in ownership.
6. NOTES PAYABLE:
On May 23, 1994, the Company entered into a $500,000 convertible
promissory note agreement with simple interest at the rate of 7% per annum.
The agreement provided the holder with the option of converting the principal
amount plus the accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock at
a conversion price of $3.33 per share prior to the due date. Both principal
and accrued interest thereof were due and payable two years from the
agreement date. Subsequent to May 23, 1996, the Company and the note holder
reached an agreement on a revised due date (see Note 12). At December 31,
1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996, accrued interest relating to this note
was $19,834, $54,833 and $81,083, respectively. The Company believes that the
carrying amount of this note approximates fair value.
In July and August 1996, the Company issued two term notes (the Notes) to
two existing shareholders and directors for $500,000. The Notes bear interest
at 8% per annum and will convert into 100,000 shares of the Company's common
stock on the earlier of the closing date of an initial public offering or
March 31, 1997.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
LEASES:
The Company entered into a noncancellable lease for its office in January
1996 which expires in early 1999. Additionally, the Company has other
noncancelable operating leases expiring through November 2000. Total rent
expense for 1994 and 1995 aggreated $17,438 and $32,688, respectively.
Minimum future rentals under these operating leases as of December 31, 1995,
are as follows:

AGREEMENTS:
In May 1996, the Company entered into a cross-licensing agreement with
another company. Pursuant to this agreement, the two companies granted each
other a non-exclusive right to market the other party's principal product in
exchange for a semiannual licensing fee of $25,000.
The Company has also entered into various agreements granting it a
non-exclusive right to use products of third parties in exchange for
royalties based on usage levels. The Company has incurred $16,667 in royalty
expenses under these agreements as of September 30, 1996.
The Company has entered into various software and content agreements
pursuant to which it is committed to pay, as of September 30, 1996,
non-refundable minimum royalties of approximately $190,000.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
The Company is subject to two complaints filed by former employees with
the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. Management intends
to defend them vigorously. Since the financial impact of the ultimate outcome
of these matters is neither probable nor estimable, no amounts have been
accrued in these financial statements.
8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
On February 28, 1996, the Company adopted a 401(k) plan for employees. All
employees who meet certain service requirements are eligible to participate.
Matching contributions are at the discretion of the Company. As of September
30, 1996, the Company had not elected to make any discretionary
contributions.
On August 1, 1994, the Company commenced the deferral of the payment of a
portion of all future compensation of the Company's president. During 1995,
all amounts due were paid to the Company's president as part of an agreement
to terminate his employment as discussed in Note 9.

On April 8, 1993, the Company and a related entity (Spartina Corporation),
which was wholly owned by the Company's president and director, entered into
an agreement under which the related entity granted the Company a
non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the source code of a certain
software engine and tools in connection with the development of the Company's
software products in the fields of health and medical management. The Company
currently does not use any of this technology in the current product.
On August 31, 1995, the Company's president signed an agreement to
terminate his employment with the Company. Under the agreement, the president
received a cash payment in consideration for an agreement not to compete with
the Company and the termination of options to purchase an aggregate of
198,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, Spartina
Corporation assigned to the Company all of its right, title and interest in
and to certain technology previously licensed by the Company from Spartina
Corporation pursuant to the agreement discussed above.
During the period from June 7, 1995 through September 28, 1995, the
Company issued two convertible promissory notes (the Notes) to two existing
shareholders for $800,000. The Notes bore interest at 6% per annum. Interest
expense relating to these Notes amounted to $5,005 during 1995. On September
29, 1995, the principal of the Notes was converted at a rate of $1.04 per
share into 768,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

9. Related Party Transactions: - (Continued)
On August 15, 1995, the Company granted an option to acquire 96,000 shares
of common stock at $1.04 per share to a board member and existing
shareholder. The option was exercised on December 29, 1995 and the proceeds
of $100,000 were received by the Company on January 8, 1996.
In December 1995, two principal shareholders and related Board members
purchased 69,000 and 129,000 shares of the Company's Series A preferred stock
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $144,000 and $268,000,
respectively, in connection with the Company's Series A financing.
As discussed in Note 6. in July and August 1996, the Company issued two
term notes to two existing shareholders and related Board members.
10. PREFERRED STOCK:
At December 31, 1995, the Company was authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares
of preferred stock. Of the authorized preferred stock, 1,200,000 shares are
designated as Series A. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had issued
939,600 shares of Series A preferred stock for gross proceeds of $1,957,500.
In February 1996, an additional 120,000 shares of Series A preferred stock
were issued for gross proceeds of $250,000.
The preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder, into the
Company's common stock at a rate of one share of common stock for one share
of preferred stock. The conversion rate for the preferred stock is subject to
future adjustments. The preferred stock will automatically convert
immediately upon the closing of an initial public offering of the Company's
common stock with gross proceeds exceeding $5 million or upon the approval of
the holders of at least two thirds of the outstanding shares of preferred
stock.
Each share of preferred stock issued and outstanding has the number of
votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of
preferred stock is convertible. The Series A preferred stock may receive
noncumulative dividends in preference to holders of common stock, if and
when, declared by the Board of Directors.
In the event of any liquidation or dissolution, the holders of preferred
stock shall be entitled to receive $2.08 per share in preference to any
distribution to holders of common stock. After payment has been made to the
holders of the preferred stock, any remaining assets shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of the preferred and common stock based on the
number of common shares held or, in the case of preferred stock, the number
of shares of common stock on an as if converted basis. If the Company's
assets are insufficient to provide for the full preference amount for the
preferred stock outstanding, then such assets shall be distributed ratably
among the holders of the preferred stock in proportion to the preferential
amount each such holder would have been entitled to receive.
11. STOCK OPTIONS:
In June 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the Plan)
under which eligible employees, directors, and consultants can receive
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price generally
not less than 100% and 85% of the fair value of the common stock on the date
of the grant for incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options,
respectively. However, the Company never granted options at below fair value
as determined by the Board of Directors. The Plan, as amended, allows for the
issuance of a maximum of 840,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This
number of shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the
Plan. The options granted under the Plan are exercisable over a maximum term
of ten years from the date of grant and vest immediately. Shares purchased
under the Plan are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company at the
original exercise price. This repurchase right lapses with respect to 25% of
the shares upon completion of one year of service and the balance in equal
successive monthly installments upon completion of each of the next 36 months
of service. With respect to certain of the options issued, the repurchase
right is eliminated in the event there is a change in control of the Company.

options outstanding under the Plan.
On December 2, 1996, the shareholders authorized the issuance of options
to purchase up to a maximum of 950,000 shares of common stock under the Plan.
On October 11, 1996, the Company consummated a Bridge Financing pursuant

promissory notes which bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum and are due
on the earlier of the consummation of the Company's proposed initial public
offering or October 11, 1997, and (ii) 400,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The effective interest rate for the Bridge Financing notes, assuming a
one-year term, is 54% and, assuming a 60-day term is 279%. The Company will
record the notes at a discount of $900,000, which discount will be allocated
to the 400,000 shares of common stock issued. Additionally, $154,000 of debt
issuance costs will be recorded in connection with the Bridge Financing.
On October 16, 1996, the Company used approximately $583,000 of the net
proceeds from the Bridge Financing to repay the promissory note, including
accrued interest (Note 6).

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The California Corporations Code provides for the indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation under certain
circumstances set forth in section 317. Section 317 permits a corporation to
indemnify its agents, typically directors and officers, for expenses incurred
or settlements or judgments paid in connection with certain legal
proceedings. Only those legal proceedings arising out of such persons'
actions as agents of the corporation may be grounds for indemnification.
Whether or not indemnification may be paid in a particular case depends
upon whether the agent wins, loses or settles the suit and upon whether a
third party or the Corporation itself is the plaintiff. The section provides
for mandatory indemnification, no matter who the plaintiff is, when an agent
is successful on the merits of a suit. In all other cases, indemnification is
permissive.
If the agent loses or settles a suit brought by a third party, he or she
may be indemnified for expenses incurred and settlements or judgments paid.
Such indemnification may be authorized upon finding that the agent acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation.
If the agent loses or settles a suit brought by or on behalf of the
corporation, his or her right to indemnification is more limited. If he or
she is adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, the court in which such
proceeding was held must determine whether it would be fair and reasonable to
indemnify him or her for expenses which such court shall determine. If the
agent settles such a suit with court approval, he or she may be indemnified
for expenses incurred upon a finding that the agent acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the
Corporation and, in addition, that he or she acted with the care, including
reasonable inquiry of an ordinarily prudent person.
The indemnification discussed above may be authorized by a majority vote
of the disinterested directors or shareholders (the person to be indemnified
is excluded from voting his or her shares) or the court in which the
proceeding was brought. The Corporation's Board of Directors makes all
decisions regarding the indemnification of its officers and directors on a
case-by-case basis.
Any provision in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
contained in a shareholder or director resolution that indemnifies its
officers or directors must be consistent with section 317. Moreover, such a
provision may prohibit permissive, but not mandatory, indemnification as
described above. Last, a corporation has the power to purchase indemnity
insurance for its agents even if it would not have the power to indemnify
them.
The Corporation's Articles authorize the Board of Directors to provide
indemnification of its agents through bylaw provisions or indemnification
agreements, or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by
section 317, subject to the limits on such excess indemnification set forth
in section 204 of the California Corporations Code.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is
therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Since its incorporation in September 1992, the Registrant has issued
securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") in the following transactions (in each case giving retroactive
effect to all subsequent stock splits):
The Registrant issued an aggregate of 165,600 shares of Common Stock in
September 1992 to its 4 founders at $0.008 per share. In April 1993 the
Registrant issued an additional 132,000 shares at $0.008 per share to 7
investors including officers, employees and directors. From May 1993 to April
1994, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares to 4 investors at
$1.04 per share, including one director. In September 1995, the Registrant
issued an aggregate of 768,000 shares of Common Stock to 2 investors,
including one director, pursuant to their exercise of Convertible Notes at
$1.04 per share. From December 1995 through February 1996, the Registrant
issued an aggregate of 1,059,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to 27
investors, including an individual who was then a director of the Company, at
a purchase price of $2.08 per share (which will automatically convert into
the same number of shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of this
offering). During the current fiscal year, the Registrant issued 102,120
shares of Common Stock to three individuals all of whom were employees or
directors of the Registrant, upon the exercise of stock options previously
issued under the Registrant's 1994 Founder's Stock Option Plan at an exercise
price of $1.04 per share. In October 1996, the Registrant issued 40 Units,
with each Unit consisting of 10,000 shares of Common Stock and a promissory
note in the principal amount of $50,000. The Units were purchased by 35
accredited investors in a private placement.
The sales and issuances of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock described
above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in
reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof as transactions not involving a public
offering. The purchasers in such private offerings represented their
intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view
to the distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the stock
certificates issued in such transactions. All purchasers had adequate access,
through their employment or other relationships, to sufficient information
about the Registrant to make an informed investment decision. No underwriter
was employed with respect to any such sales.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that: 1) for purposes of determining
any liability under the Act, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule
430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Rule 421(b)(1) or (4) or 497(b) under the Act shall be deemed to be part
of the Registration Statement as of the time it was declared
II-3
<PAGE>
effective and 2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
Underwriters at the Closing, as specified in the Underwriting Agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required
by the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
