Part I
Item 1. Description of Business.
Background
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 education, 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.
3
o Growth of the Informational and Commercial Applications and Resources
of the Internet: Use of the Internet has grown rapidly since it
commercialization in the early 1990s. An increasing number of servers
and Websites are 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 information 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.
4
<PAGE>
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 issuers; a medical encyclopedia; a pharmacy reference; information
relating to self-help 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 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.

<PAGE>
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, 1995
and 1996, the Company expended approximately $681,000 and $1,623,000,
respectively, on product development and disease module development products.
Product development expenses are expected to increase through 1997 in connection
with market testing activities and disease module development products. Eleven
of the Company's twenty-four employees were engaged in product development as of
December 31, 1996.
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 continue research and
development with regards to 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.
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 regulator 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 specific disease management modules may increase compliance with
treatment programs designed to address the lifestyle of chronically-ill
patients. In January 1997, the Company and MIIX entered into an agreement that
the Company will design, develop and test a software module for diabetes
patients. The agreement 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 agreement also requires that the Company
grant to MIIX a right of offer to fund the development of other modules.

<PAGE>
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 Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts ("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 insurers. 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. As of March 1997, BCMA has extended the pilot
agreement to November 1997. Under the agreement extension BCMA has the option to
include in the pilot the diabetes disease state module and the upgraded general
health module. 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 entered into a license
agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Iowa ("BCI"), which was completed in
March 1997, to conduct similar market testing to up to 150 of BCI employee
households. BCI has commenced distributing HealthDesk OnLine to its employees.
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 has expired in March 1997.
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
7
<PAGE>
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 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
disease. The Company's agreement with MIIX requires that the Company 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.
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 know 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 automatically renew for successive terms unless either party
gives 30 days' written notice prior to the termination of any renewal term. The
8
<PAGE>
agreements provide for each party to pay an initial license fee of $25,000 and
$25,000 for each renewal term. John Pappajohn, a 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 "Note 9 to Financial Statements" and "Certain
Relationships & Related 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 is 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 developed
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
9
<PAGE>
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., American's
Housecalls Network and Softwatch, 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 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. 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
10
<PAGE>
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.
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, theses
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 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 of 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's
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. 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 and 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.
12
<PAGE>
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 December 31, 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.
Factors Affecting the Company's Business, Operating Results and Financial
Condition
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.
Limited Revenues; Significant and Continuing Losses. 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 December 31, 1996,
the Company incurred a cumulative net loss of approximately $6,348,000. Since
December 31, 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 also recorded a
non-recurring non-cash charge relating to the Bridge Financing of approximately
$884,000 as of December 31, 1996. An additional charge of approximately $170,000
will be recorded in January 1997. 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.
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. 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 from
its initial public offering will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash
requirements for at least twelve months. In the event that the Company's plans
13
<PAGE>
change, its assumptions prove to be inaccurate or if the proceeds from the
initial public 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 the initial public
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 the initial public 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 may require proceeds greater than the
proceeds of the initial public 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.
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 function 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.
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
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
inter-related, 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
14
<PAGE>
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.
Uncertainty of Market Testing Result. 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 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 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.
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., America's Housecalls Network
and Softwatch, 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
15
<PAGE>
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.
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 the 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" 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 failure 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 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.
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 the 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 $4 million in the aggregate, general liability insurance with a
limitation of $2 million in the aggregate and $1 million per occurrence and
16
<PAGE>
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.
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. 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.
17
<PAGE>
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.
Dependence on Limited Customer Base. To date, the Company's revenues have
been derived form a limited number of customers. Two customers accounted for
approximately 40% and 56%, respectively, of revenues in 1995. Additionally, one
customer accounted for approximately 96% of revenues for the year ended December
31, 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 agreement with MIIX requires that the Company grant to
MIIX a right of first offer to fund the development of additional software
modules.
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.
Proprietary Information. Although the Company intends to evaluate the
feasibility to 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 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.
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,
18
<PAGE>
$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 assure 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.
Control by Management. As of February 28, 1997, the officers and directors
of the Company beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 45.3% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming no exercise of the Warrants).
Accordingly, such persons, acting together, will be in a position to exercise
significant influence over the Company's affairs.
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 or 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 be obtain shareholder approval or
fairness opinions in connection with any such transactions.
Outstanding Options. As of February 28, 1997, the Company had outstanding
options to purchase an aggregate of 747,058 shares of Common Stock at exercise
prices ranging from $1.04 to $5.00. Exercise 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.
No Dividends. To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends and does
not expect to declare or pay dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.
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 the Company's 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.
Possible Delisting of Securities from NASDAQ System; Disclosure Relating to
Low-Priced Stocks. The Common Stock and Warrants are currently quoted on NASDAQ
SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ"). However, in order to continue to be included in
NASDAQ, a company must maintain $2,000,000 in total assets, a $200,000 market
19
<PAGE>
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 the offering to sell the Common Stock in the secondary market.
Volatility of Stock and Warrants Prices. The Company's common stock and
warrants had experienced substantial price fluctuations since its initial public
offering date of January 16, 1997. In addition, the stock market has experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that have especially affected the
market prices of equity securities of many high technology companies,
particularly Internet-related companies, and that often have been unrelated to
the operating performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock and warrants. In
the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's
securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against
such a company. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and a
diversion of management's attention and resources, which would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.
Item 2. Description of Properties.
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.
The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its present staff
and its requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is subject to a complaint filed by a former employee with the
California Department of Fair Employment & Housing and a second from a former
consultant. The first claim alleges wrongful termination as a result of alleged
denial of reasonable accommodation for a wrist and neck injury. The second
complaint alleges that a former consultant is entitled to compensation
associated with accelerated vesting of stock options. 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.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Not applicable.

Approximate Number of Security Holders. As of March 17, 1997, there were
approximately 85 holders of record of the Common Stock and 3 holders of record
of the Warrants.
Dividends. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on the Common
Stock, and its Board of Directors does not intend to declare or pay any
dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The Board currently
intends to retain all available earnings (if any) generated by the Company's
operations for the development and growth of its business. The declaration in
the future of any cash or stock dividends on the Common Stock will be at the
discretion of the Board and will depend upon a variety of factors, including the
earnings, capital requirements, debt and interest payments, and the financial
position of the Company and general economic conditions at the time in question.
Although there currently are no restrictions on the ability of the Company to
pay cash or other dividends on the Common Stock, the payment of dividends on the
Common Stock in the future could be limited or prohibited by the terms of
financing agreements that may be entered into by the Company (e.g., a bank line
of credit or an agreement relating to the issuance of other debt securities of
the Company) or by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock that may be
issued. There are currently no such financing agreements in place and no
outstanding series of any Preferred Stock.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Overview
The information set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended the (the "Exchange Act"), and is subject to the safe harbor
created by the section. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements as they speak only as of the date hereof.
Reference is also made to the matters set forth under the heading "Factors
Affecting the Company's Business, Operating Results and Financial Condition" in
Part I hereof.
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 the Company has not yet proven to be commercially viable.
22
<PAGE>
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
December 31, 1996, the Company incurred a cumulative net loss of approximately
$6,348,000. Since December 31, 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 also is amortizing a non-recurring charge related to a bridge financing
completion in October 1996 (the "Bridge Financing") of approximately $1,030,000
of which $884,227 was incurred for the year ended December 31, 1996. 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 expects to incur significant expenses in connection with its
operations, including expenses associated with hiring additional marketing and
sales personnel and the research and development of product lines. The Company
anticipates, based on its current proposed growth plans and assumptions relating
to its growth and operations, that the proceeds from the initial public offering
and planned revenues will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated
cash requirements for the next twelve months and that the Company will not be
required to raise additional funds within the next twelve months. However, there
can be no assurance that the Company's funding requirements will not increase
significantly as a result of unforeseen circumstances or that the Company's cash
used by operating activities will not increase. If the Company is required to
seek third-party sources of financing to meet its short-term or long-term
funding needs, there can be no assurance, that the Company would be able to
obtain public or private third-party sources of financing or, if obtained, that
favorable terms for such financing would be obtained. In addition, given the
trading history of the Company's common stock since the initial public offering,
there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to raise additional
cash through public or private offerings of its common stock.
The statements regarding the Company's future cash requirements are forward
looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties which could
result in the Company's inability to meet its funding requirements for the time
period indicated. Such risk and uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
those described under the heading "Factors Affecting the Company's Business,
Operating Results and Financial Condition" in Part I hereof.
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
Revenue decreased by 76.7% from $224,011 for the year ended December 31,
1995 to $52,225 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease in development fee revenues. During 1996,
the Company focused its efforts on the original development of HealthDesk OnLine
and reduced its marketing and sales efforts relating to its original Desktop
only HealthDesk product.
Product development costs increased by 138.3% from $680,886 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $1,622,601 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
increase in expenditures was principally related to the expansion of the
programming staff and associated costs related to the development of HealthDesk
OnLine during the year.
23
<PAGE>
Sales and marketing costs increased by 250.1% from $349,133 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $1,222,183 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from the hiring of additional marketing personnel
and associated sales and marketing efforts in connection with HealthDesk OnLine
during the year.
General and administrative costs increased by 17.4% from $581,043 for the
year ended December 31, 1995 to $681,993 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of new management
personnel and severance cost relating to prior management and, to a lesser
extent, increased professional fees.
Other (income) expense, net (including interest expense, interest income
and amortization of discount and issuance cost) increased by 1784.1% from
$48,622 for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $916,102 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to amortization of
the non-recurring bridge discount and deferred debt issuance costs of $884,227
and increased interest expense as a result of higher levels of borrowings from
the Bridge Financing.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,391,454
for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to a net loss of $1,436,473
for the prior comparable year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$198,277, as compared to $1,554,034 at December 31, 1995. In fiscal 1995
$1,301,005 of cash was used in operating activities, principally as a result of
the $1,436,473 loss for fiscal 1995. In fiscal 1996 $2,833,315 of cash was used
in operating activities, principally as a result of the $4,391,454 loss for
fiscal 1996 as offset by $884,227 in amortization of non cash discount and
$752,669 increase in accounts payable. Working capital at December 31, 1996 was
negative $2,804,411, as compared to $870,436 at December 31, 1995.
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.
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.
In December 1995, Mr. Pappajohn exercised an option to purchase 96,000
shares of Common Stock for an aggregate exercise price of $100,000.
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 converted into one share of Common Stock upon
consummation of the Company's initial public 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
have converted into 100,000 shares of Common Stock on the closing of the
Company's initial public offering dated January 16, 1997.
In October 1996, the Company consummated the Bridge Financing pursuant to
which it issued $2,000,000 principal amount of notes and 400,000 shares of
Common Stock, and received net proceeds of $1,765,000.
24
<PAGE>
In January 1997, the Company consummated an underwritten initial public
offering of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $5.00 per
share and 1,955,000 Warrants at an offering price of $.10 per warrant. The net
proceeds to the Company were $7,604,650 after deducting issuance cost of
$1,090,850, which were charged to equity. Each warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The
Warrants will be exercisable for a 60 month period commencing January 16, 1997.
Upon the closing of the initial public offering in January 1997, the
Company repaid $2,000,000 principal amount of Bridge Financing.
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 10-KSB, the Company has no material
commitments for capital expenditures. The Company anticipates, based on its
currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to its operations (including
assumptions regarding the progress and timing of its product development efforts
and revenue), that the proceeds from the initial public offering, together with
anticipated revenues from operations, will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operations and capital requirements. For the period from August 28, 1992
(inception) to December 31, 1996, the Company had capital expenditures of
approximately $918,000 relating primarily to computer equipment.

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, 1995 and 1996, 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, 1996. 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 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, 1995 and 1996, 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, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

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.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
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.
Revenue Recognition:
During 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. During 1996, the Company's revenues were generated
primarily from a cross-licensing and marketing contract. These revenues are
recognized ratably over the related period under the agreement.
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.

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.
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 public offering price of $5.00) 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, stock
option 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128) was issued and is effective for the Company's
year ending December 31, 1997. The Company has not determined the impact of the
implementation of FAS 128 on the earnings per share calculation.

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 40% and 56%, respectively, of revenues in fiscal 1995.
Additionally, one customer accounted for approximately 96% of revenues in fiscal
1996.

5. Income Taxes:
The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996 relates to current state income tax. The estimated tax effect of
significant temporary differences and carry forwards that gave rise to deferred

Due to the uncertainty of realization, a valuation allowance has been
provided to eliminate the net deferred tax assets at both December 31, 1995 and

the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

5. Income Taxes: - (Continued)
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $5,880,000 and $2,970,000 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, 1996,
the Company also has research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards of
$52,000 and $45,000 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. These
carryforwards expire in the years ending 2008 through 2011.
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 certain changes in ownership as defined under the tax
law.
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. The Company paid
the balance due on the note with the proceeds in October 1996 from the Bridge
Financing (see below). At December 31, 1995 accrued interest relating to this
note was $54,833 and interest paid at December 31, 1996 amounted to $81,083.
In July and August 1996, the Company issued two term notes (the Notes) to
two existing shareholders and directors for a total of $500,000. The Notes bore
interest at 8% per annum and converted into 100,000 shares of the Company's
common stock on the closing date of the Company's initial public offering in
January 1997. At December 31, 1996 accrued interest relating to these notes
amounted to $17,041.
On October 11, 1996, the Company consummated a Bridge Financing pursuant to
which it issued an aggregate of (i) $2,000,000 principal amount of promissory
notes which bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum and were due on the
consummation of the Company's initial public offering, and (ii) 400,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. The Company recorded the notes at a discount of
$900,000, which discount was allocated to the 400,000 shares of common stock
issued. Additionally, $129,250 for debt issuance costs was recorded in
connection with the Bridge Financing. Net proceeds from the bridge financing
amounted to $1,765,000 of which 55% or $970,750 was allocated to short-term
notes payable and 45% or $794,250 was allocated to Common Stock. At December 31,
1996 accrued interest related to these notes amounted to $39,945.
The Company recorded a non-recurring amortization of the bridge finance
charge of $884,227 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Payment of the bridge
notes was made upon completion of the initial public offering in January 1997.
The Company believes that the carrying amounts of the Notes and the Bridge
Financing promissory notes approximate fair value due to their short maturities
and conversion features.

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

10. Preferred Stock:
The Company is authorized to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of
the authorized preferred stock, 1,200,000 shares are designated as Series A. As
of December 31, 1996, the Company had issued 1,059,600 shares of Series A
preferred stock for net proceeds of $2,183,036.
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 (See footnote 12 and 13) 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.
On January 16, 1997, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock
were automatically converted into 1,059,600 shares of Common Stock upon the
closing of the Company's initial public offering (See Note 12 and 13).
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 950,000 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.
