PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY TOGETHER WITH THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION ABOUT REALMED AND THE COMMON SHARES BEING SOLD IN THIS OFFERING IN
OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS AND OUR RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 5.
REALMED CORPORATION
We own and operate the RealMed Network, an Internet-based,
business-to-business healthcare connectivity solution for payers and providers.
The RealMed Network fully automates the healthcare claims process from
downloading patient information to resolving payments owed to providers. As a
result, claims resolution can be achieved in seconds, at the point of care in an
efficient and cost-effective manner. We believe that by re-engineering this
process, we can reduce the processing cost per claim by more than 50% for both
payers and providers.
To accomplish process automation and claims resolution, we provide a secure,
two-way link between the provider's desktop and the payer's legacy computer
system. The RealMed Network directly accesses the payer's claims adjudication
logic and customer database. Through our Network we provide:
- eligibility verification;
- deductible and co-payment status;
- claims error correction requests;
- claims submission;
- auto adjudication;
- delivery of an explanation of benefits, or EOB, at the point of care; and
- certainty of payment for providers through electronic funds transfer.
We have received initial commitments from five regionally dominant payers to
integrate the RealMed Network with these payers in selected markets: (1) Anthem
Insurance Companies, Inc; (2) WellPoint Health Networks, Inc.; (3) Blue
Cross/Blue Shield of North Carolina; (4) CareFirst Blue Cross; and (5) Blue
Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois. These payers collectively represent a potential
market of 13 states and the District of Columbia, 22 million covered lives and
128 million annual private physician claims, which is approximately 13% of the
U.S. private physician claims market.
While the RealMed Network is presently built to resolve private physician
claims, we are actively working to expand the functionality of the Network to
include Medicare and pharmaceuticals claims processing. We estimate the Medicare
annual claims market to be approximately 350 million physician claims and the
pharmaceuticals annual claims market to be approximately 1.6 billion physician
and Medicare claims. In total, approximately 4.7 billion healthcare claims were
processed in the United States in 1999.
In April 2000, we launched the RealMed Network with Anthem of Indiana. We
are currently in various stages of integration with our other payers. We will
earn transaction-based revenues from our payers, monthly subscription fees from
our providers and revenues from other related opportunities.
The U.S. healthcare system is generally regarded as expensive, fragmented
and inefficient. The U.S. Healthcare Financing Administration, or HCFA,
estimates that in 1999, healthcare expenditures represented approximately $1.2
trillion, or 13.3%, of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. An estimated
$210 billion, or 17.5%, of healthcare expenditures are related to
administration. Included in administration are claims submission processing and
settlement expenses. The settlement of healthcare claims is a complex process,
involving detailed contractual, legal and regulatory relationships between
payers, providers and patients. Payers and providers must also contend with
continually evolving
1
<PAGE>
healthcare regulation. HCFA recently proposed new regulations under the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. These regulations would
impose stringent privacy and security standards on the storage and transfer of
healthcare information.
Healthcare claims are typically submitted to a payer through a clearinghouse
or other third party via electronic data interchange, or EDI, regular mail, or
fax. These traditional processes are inefficient, time intensive and costly, due
to their inability to automatically process and adjudicate claims. In addition
to slow turnaround times for standard claims, the length of time and cost per
claim increases significantly if any information submitted by a provider is
incorrect, incomplete or inconsistent with the policies of a payer. The current
sequential process of submitting, adjudicating and approving the payment of
healthcare claims averages 42 days at an average cost of $19 per claim.
We expect our Internet-based resolution platform to minimize the
inefficiencies of EDI or paper-based claims settlement by re-engineering the
claims process to streamline workflow and enable the resolution of claims in
seconds. The RealMed Network also supports HIPAA compliance by tracking
electronic transactions and assuring the security and privacy of patient
information.
We believe that the rate of adoption of the RealMed Network will be driven
by our ability to significantly improve the efficiency of healthcare claims
resolution and to ultimately reduce the cost of healthcare. As a result, we
believe that the RealMed Network will improve the relationship between
healthcare payers and providers. We believe that we provide our customers with
the following benefits:
- significantly reduced time and expense associated with processing claims;
- accelerated payment and certainty of amounts owed;
- improved accuracy and efficiency of data transfer;
- enhanced management information; and
- increased data security and reduced opportunity for fraud.
Our goal is to become the industry standard for healthcare connectivity. A
significant step toward achieving our goal will be executing the integration and
roll-out process of the Network with our payers and providers. The key elements
of our growth strategy include:
- maximizing our market opportunities with our existing payers and
providers;
- increasing our market penetration on a national level by focusing first on
leading regional payers and providers and then on national payers;
- expanding technological leadership by increasing our portfolio of
applications, services and product offerings; and
- generating additional revenue opportunities using the RealMed Network.
Our executive offices are located at 510 East 96th Street, Suite 400,
Indianapolis, Indiana, 46240. Our telephone number is (317) 580-0658. Our
corporate Internet address is WWW.REALMED.COM. The information contained on our

RISK FACTORS
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW BEFORE BUYING SHARES
IN THIS OFFERING. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY
RISKS WE FACE. THESE RISKS ARE THE ONES WE CONSIDER TO BE SIGNIFICANT TO YOUR
DECISION WHETHER TO INVEST IN OUR COMMON SHARES AT THIS TIME. THERE MAY BE RISKS
THAT YOU, IN PARTICULAR, VIEW DIFFERENTLY THAN WE DO, AND THERE ARE OTHER RISKS
AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT ARE NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY
CONSIDER IMMATERIAL, BUT THAT MAY IN FACT IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IF ANY
OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION WOULD LIKELY SUFFER, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES
COULD DECLINE AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
RISKS RELATED TO REALMED
OUR NETWORK IS UNPROVEN.
We only recently started implementing the RealMed Network. While we have
tested our solution on a trial basis, we have not had any large-scale field
tests among providers and payers. Our operations are beginning with a proof of
concept phase that is expected to last from 3 to 12 months, depending upon the
payer. Upon completion of the proof of concept phase, we will need to meet
certain performance criteria before payers agree to expand the Network within
their system. Because of our start-up nature and the limited claims testing, it
is inherently difficult to evaluate whether our system will meet the criteria
during the proof of concept phase.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET OPERATING LOSSES AND MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE IN THE
FUTURE.
Failure to achieve or maintain profitability could materially and adversely
affect the market price of our common shares. We have experienced net losses of
approximately $5.2 million in 1997, $7.7 million in 1998, and $15.5 million in
1999. At February 29, 2000, we had a retained deficit of $28.4 million. Our
historical financial information is of limited or no value in projecting our
future operating results because of our limited operating history and the
emerging nature of our operations. Since our inception, we have derived
substantially all of our revenues from processing of medical savings accounts
claims. Currently, we do not expect to continue to generate material revenues
from this business.
We are investing heavily to develop our Network, including paying the costs
of integrating our Network. We are also investing heavily to expand our sales
and marketing capabilities. The healthcare claims processing industry presents
substantial opportunity for creating efficiencies and profitability. However,
our revenue and income potential is unproven. We expect to continue to
experience net losses, and we are not certain when we will become profitable, if
at all. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain or increase
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis due to a number of factors,
including:
- rapid technological change;
- changing customer needs; and
- evolving industry standards.
We have guaranteed an identified level of savings per claim for our initial
payers. The initial three months of the first subscription period for the
providers are free. As a result, we will not realize any subscription revenue
from these providers during this free trial period.
5
<PAGE>
IF WE DO NOT ACHIEVE BROAD ACCEPTANCE OF OUR NETWORK BY PAYERS, PROVIDERS,
PATIENTS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE STAKEHOLDERS, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE HARMED.
To be successful, our Network must achieve acceptance by both payers and
providers. Because the healthcare market is fragmented, we may face difficulty
in obtaining a commitment from payers and providers to accept new technology. In
addition, we believe that the nature of complexities in processing healthcare
transactions have hindered the development and acceptance of information
technology solutions. While recent trends indicate more willingness to adopt
technology solutions, historically, the healthcare industry has resisted
adopting new information technology solutions. Furthermore, conversion from
traditional methods to e-commerce may not occur as rapidly as we expect it will,
and even if the conversion does occur as rapidly as we expect, healthcare
industry participants may use applications and services which others offer.
Finally, we intend to introduce new products to our Network. Until those
products are tested and used in the field, it is unclear whether they will work
and be accepted, and if they work, whether they will add materially to our
revenue and income.
LENGTHY SALES AND INTEGRATION CYCLES FOR OUR NETWORK COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
REVENUE GROWTH.
A key element of our strategy is to market our Network directly to payers.
Even though we have developed a geographically diverse business development
pipeline, we are unable to control many of the factors that will influence the
decision of payers as to the adoption or integration of our Network. We expect
that the sales and implementation process will be lengthy and will involve a
significant technical evaluation and commitment of resources by our customers.
The sale and integration of our Network to payers could be subject to delay as a
result of their ability to commit resources to the project and deployment of new
technologies within a payer's network.
We will need to expend substantial resources to integrate our Network with
the existing legacy computer systems of payers. We have limited experience in
integrating our applications with large, complex computer systems, and we may
experience delays in the integration process. These delays could, in turn, delay
our ability to generate revenue and could adversely affect our results of
operations.
IF WE CANNOT EXPAND OUR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE, WE MAY
EXPERIENCE DELAYS IN THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS.
In order to grow, we intend to expand our product development and strategic
relationships. This growth has and will continue to place significant strain on
our managerial, operational, financial and information systems resources. We may
not be able to effectively manage expansion of our operations, and our
facilities, systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our
operations.
FAILURE TO RESPOND TO TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND CHANGING CUSTOMER NEEDS
COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
As the communications, computer software and healthcare information
technology industries continue to experience rapid technological change, we must
be able to modify our products quickly to adapt to such changes. In particular,
the Internet is rapidly evolving and the technology used in Internet related
products is subject to rapid change and early obsolescence. The demands of
operating in such an environment may delay or prevent our development and
introduction of new healthcare connectivity solutions that continually meet
changing market demands and that keep pace with evolving industry standards. In
addition, our applications and services offerings may become obsolete due to the
adoption of new technologies or standards.
6
<PAGE>
OUR REVENUES ARE CONCENTRATED IN A FEW PAYERS AND THE LOSS OF ANY OF THOSE
PAYERS AND THEIR PROVIDERS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.
We anticipate generating a significant portion of our revenues from a small
number of payers and their providers. Currently, we have five payers who have
signed letters of understanding with us. These letters of understanding provide
for a proof of concept period and are terminable by the payers. We do not
currently anticipate having either legally binding contracts with payers or
exclusive arrangements even after this proof of concept phase. If we lose any of
these payers and their providers, our revenue could be significantly reduced and
our business could be harmed.
WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
WITHOUT WHICH WE MAY NOT SUSTAIN OR GROW OUR BUSINESS.
If we lose any of our existing strategic relationships or fail to establish
additional strategic relationships, or if our strategic relationships fail to
benefit us as expected, we may not sustain or grow our business. We will depend
upon our strategic relationships to extend the reach of our Network to a larger
number of participants in the healthcare industry, develop and deploy new
products and generate additional revenue. We will also depend upon strategic
relationships with Bell Industries, a technology systems integrator, to provide
customer support, MarketSource, a marketing company, for a provider marketing
program, V(4) Consulting, a large provider practice consultant, for large
provider practice re-engineering and certain other organizations involved with
integrating the payers. To the extent these companies do not perform as
expected, our business could suffer. Entering into strategic relationships is
complicated by the following factors:
- current or future strategic partners may decide to compete with us in some
or all of our markets;
- key participants in the healthcare industry may refuse to establish
strategic relationships with us if we have entered into relationships with
their competitors; and
- potential strategic partners may be reluctant to work with us until our
Network has obtained widespread market acceptance.
INTENSE COMPETITION IN OUR MARKETS MAY LEAD TO REDUCED SALES OF OUR NETWORK.
Our industry is intensely competitive and subject to fragmentation, high
growth and rapid technological change. We may face significant competition from
traditional healthcare information system vendors and Internet healthcare
companies as they expand their product offerings or form joint ventures. Many of
these companies have significantly greater financial resources, well-established
brand names and large installed customer bases. We may be unable to compete
successfully against these organizations.
IF WE FAIL TO ACHIEVE A SIGNIFICANT MARKET SHARE, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE
SUCCESSFULLY.
We believe that, to be successful, we must gain significant market share
with our Network before our competitors introduce alternative products and
services with features similar to ours. Failure to achieve a significant market
share may materially reduce our ability to compete successfully, if at all, with
other market participants and may lead to reduced sales of the RealMed Network.
OUR ABILITY TO SCALE THE NETWORK IS UNPROVEN AND INABILITY TO SCALE COULD HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
Our Network may be unable to accommodate increased use while maintaining
acceptable overall performance. We must continue to expand and adapt our Network
infrastructure to accommodate additional users, increased transaction volumes
and changing customer requirements. We may be
7
<PAGE>
unable to expand or adapt our Network infrastructure to meet additional demand
or our customers' changing needs on a timely basis and at a commercially
reasonable cost.
OUR FAILURE TO RETAIN AND ATTRACT KEY PERSONNEL COULD SIGNIFICANTLY HINDER THE
EXECUTION OF OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our success will depend significantly on our current senior management team
and other key employees. We need to attract and retain additional highly skilled
technical personnel capable of developing, selling or installing complex
healthcare information technology systems. We face intense competition for these
personnel. Recruiting qualified personnel could prove expensive and problematic.
We do not maintain key person life insurance for anyone.
WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO ACHIEVE PROFITABLE OPERATIONS.
As we expand operations, we will require additional capital. We cannot be
certain that funds will be available on terms satisfactory to us when needed. To
the extent that we raise additional equity capital, it may have a dilutive
effect on our existing shareholders.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OUR COMPETITIVE
POSITION MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our future success will depend on our ability to protect and maintain the
proprietary rights to the RealMed Network. To protect our intellectual property
rights, we currently rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade
secret laws, noncompetition agreements and restrictions on disclosure. We also
expect to rely on patents to protect some of our proprietary technology and have
filed three patents with respect to that technology. Our patent applications may
not be approved or, if approved, our patents may not be effective in protecting
our proprietary technology.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS AGAINST US CAN BE COSTLY AND RESULT IN
THE LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS.
We could be subject to intellectual property infringement claims as the
number of our competitors grows and the functionality of our products and
services overlaps with competing products. We could incur substantial costs and
diversion of management resources defending any infringement claims. In
addition, a party making a claim against us could secure a judgement awarding
substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could
effectively block our ability to provide products or services. Licenses for
intellectual property of third parties that might be required for our products
or services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
IF WE ARE HELD LIABLE FOR USE OF DATA WE PROVIDE, WE COULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY
MATERIAL DAMAGES TO INJURED THIRD PARTIES.
We provide data for use by payers and providers and other healthcare
stakeholders. Claims for injuries related to the use of this data may be made in
the future, and we may not be able to insure adequately against these claims. A
claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could lead to
material damages against us.
OUR INABILITY TO PREVENT SECURITY BREACHES COULD DETER PEOPLE FROM USING THE
REALMED NETWORK, AND COULD EXPOSE US TO CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES.
Any well-publicized compromise of Internet security could deter people from
using the RealMed Network to conduct transactions that involve transmitting
confidential healthcare information. We rely on encryption and authentication
technology to provide the security and authentication necessary for secure
transmission of confidential information. A security breach could occur if a
third party was able
8
<PAGE>
to penetrate our Network security and misappropriate our patient and other
information. If this happened, we could also be subject to liability and
litigation. The difficulty of securely transmitting confidential information
over the Internet has been a significant barrier to conducting e-commerce. We
may have to devote significant financial and other resources to protect against
security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Advances in
computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other
developments could result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms we use to
protect customer transaction data.
UNDETECTED SOFTWARE ERRORS MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS.
Complex software programs such as those comprising the RealMed Network could
contain undetected errors. We have, from time to time, found errors in our
products, and in the future we may find additional errors in our existing, new
or enhanced solutions. In addition, our software is combined with the software
products of payers and providers. As a result, it may be difficult to identify
the source of the problem, should one occur. The occurrence of software errors,
whether caused by our software or another party's products, could harm sales of
our Network, divert the attention of our technical personnel away from product
development efforts and cause significant customer relations problems. Due to
the sensitivity of patient medical information, software errors may expose us to
particularly significant liability relative to other businesses offering
Internet-based products.
WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE AN OFF-SITE BACK-UP DATA CENTER.
While we do not have an off-site back-up data center, we are actively
considering various off-site facility alternatives. If we experience a disaster,
we will face delays in restoring complete Network functionality, which could be
substantial.
BECAUSE WE ARE DEPENDENT ON PAYERS' AND PROVIDERS' COMPUTER SYSTEMS, DELAYS OR
FAILURES IN ANY OF THOSE SYSTEMS COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY
OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.
Since our Network is linked to the legacy computer system of each payer, we
must continually maintain our interface with payers as they change and improve
their systems. Additionally, any error in the entry of a particular payer's
rules in the software code, or data entry errors, will result in delays and
adjudication errors, and could harm perceptions about the effectiveness of the
RealMed Network. Any prolonged interruption in Internet services could affect
our ability to provide our service and affect our relationships with our payers
and providers. Failures or delays in providing our services caused by problems
interfacing with payers' or providers' systems, through no fault of ours, could
nevertheless affect our relationships with our customers and harm our business.
RISKS RELATED TO THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY AND THE INTERNET
FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATION AND REGULATION AFFECTING THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
COULD SEVERELY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.
We are subject to federal and state legislation and regulation affecting the
healthcare industry. Existing and proposed laws and regulations applicable to
the healthcare industry could have a material adverse effect on our ability to
operate our business. State governments extensively regulate the confidentiality
and release of patient records. Additional legislation governing the
distribution of medical records has been proposed at both the state and federal
level. It may be expensive to implement security or other measures designed to
comply with any new legislation. Future legislation could place restrictions on
the electronic delivery of certain patient records to some healthcare
participants. If enacted, these restrictions would most likely place the burden
on healthcare participants to obtain patient consent in order to overcome the
restrictions.
9
<PAGE>
Federal and state legislatures have periodically considered programs to
reform or amend the U.S. healthcare system at both the federal and state level.
These programs may contain proposals to increase governmental involvement in
healthcare or otherwise change the environment in which healthcare industry
participants operate. Healthcare industry participants may respond by reducing
their investments or postponing investment decisions, including investments in
our products and services. We do not know what effect any proposals would have
on our business.
Regulations currently being considered at the federal level could also
negatively affect our business. For example, HIPAA mandates the use of standard
transactions and identifiers, prescribed security measures and other provisions
within two years after the adoption of final regulations by the United States
Department of Health and Human Services. It is not certain when the Department
will adopt final HIPAA regulations, and the final regulations are subject to
change. Compliance with HIPAA over time is likely to require additional expense.
In addition, our success depends on other healthcare participants complying with
these regulations.
If United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regulations were
applicable to any of our products and services, we believe that complying with
those regulations would be time consuming, burdensome and expensive and could
delay our introduction of new products or services. Some computer applications
and software are considered medical devices and are subject to regulation or
validation by the FDA. We do not believe that our current products or services
are subject to FDA regulation. We may, however, expand our product and service
offerings into areas that subject us to FDA regulation.
A federal law commonly known as the Medicare/Medicaid anti-kickback law, and
several similar state laws, prohibit payments that are intended to induce
providers or others to acquire, arrange for or recommend the acquisition of
healthcare products or services. Another federal law, commonly known as the
Stark law, prohibits providers from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients for
designated health services to entities with which they have a financial
relationship, unless that relationship qualifies for an explicit exception to
the referral ban. The application and interpretation of these laws are complex
and difficult to predict and could constrain our financial and marketing
relationships.
CHANGES IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and is subject to changing
political, economic and regulatory influences. These factors affect the
purchasing decisions and operations of healthcare organizations. Changes in
current healthcare financing and reimbursement systems could cause us to make
unplanned enhancements to our Network, or result in delays or loss of payers.
IF USE OF THE INTERNET DOES NOT CONTINUE TO GROW, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE
ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
The Internet is a relatively new commercial marketplace and may not continue
to grow. If Internet use does not continue to grow, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely
affected.
Additionally, to the extent the Internet's technical infrastructure or
security concerns adversely affect its growth, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely
affected. The Internet may prove to be problematic for the following reasons:
- if the number of Internet users and the level of use continues to grow,
the Internet's technical infrastructure may become unable to support the
demands placed upon it;
- third-party vendors might not be able to timely and adequately develop the
necessary technical infrastructure for significant increases in
e-commerce, such as a reliable network backbone, or to introduce
performance improvements, such as high-speed modems;
10
<PAGE>
- delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols
required to handle increased levels of activity or increased governmental
regulation could cause the Internet to lose its commercial viability;
- changes in or insufficient availability of telecommunication services
could produce slower response times and adversely affect use of the
Internet; and
- the general public's security concerns could lead to resistance against
widespread acceptance of the Internet as a viable commercial marketplace.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE INTERNET COULD SEVERELY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO
OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.
Our business is subject to evolving government regulation of the Internet.
Existing as well as new laws and regulations could severely restrict our ability
to operate our business. Laws and regulations may be adopted to govern the
Internet or other on-line services covering issues such as:
- user privacy;
- pricing;
- content;
- taxes; and
- copyrights.
The applicability to the Internet of existing laws in various jurisdictions
governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and
personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to resolve. Demand for our
applications and services may be affected by additional regulation of the
Internet.
CONSOLIDATION IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR
REVENUES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
If we were forced to reduce our prices because of consolidation in the
healthcare industry, our revenues and results of operations could suffer. Many
healthcare industry participants are consolidating to create greater market
power. As the healthcare industry consolidates, competition to provide products
and services to industry participants will become more intense. These industry
participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for
our products and services.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR COMMON SHARES
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE AND COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY.
The market price of our common shares could decline significantly in
response to a number of factors, including:
- actual or anticipated quarterly variations in our operating results;
- changes in expectations of future financial performance or failure to meet
market expectations;
- announcements of technological innovations or new services or products by
us or our competitors;
- announcements relating to payer/provider integrations;
- customer relationship developments;
- conditions affecting healthcare and Internet industries in general; and
11
<PAGE>
- changes in the recommendations of securities analysts.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a
company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been
instituted. If this were to happen to RealMed, litigation would be expensive and
could divert management's attention.
OUR COMMON SHARES HAVE NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET.
Before this offering, there was no public market for our common shares. In
addition, an active public market for our shares may not develop or be sustained
after this offering. The initial public offering price has been determined by
negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. See "Plan
of Distribution" for a discussion of the factors considered in determining the
initial public offering price.
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OF
REALMED.
After this offering, our directors and management (including our founders)
will own or control approximately % of our common shares. In addition, The CIT
Group, Inc. will beneficially own % of our common shares, GemPlus SA will
beneficially own % of our common shares and JLT, L.P. will beneficially own
% of our common shares. If these people act together, they will be able to
significantly influence the management and affairs of RealMed and will have the
ability to control all matters requiring shareholder approval. This
concentration of ownership may have the affect of delaying, deferring or
preventing an acquisition of RealMed and may adversely affect the market price
of our common shares.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide for a classified board of directors
consisting of three classes. As a result, shareholders desiring to replace a
majority of our board could only do so through two annual meetings of RealMed.
Each of the following shareholders has agreed to vote at the 2001 and 2002
annual meetings of shareholders for the re-election to a full three-year term of
certain of the directors whose terms expire at that meeting: Robert J. Hicks,
Mark A. Morris, Robert B. Peterson, GemPlus SA and The CIT Group, Inc. As a
result, the re-election of Messrs. Hicks, Morris, Peterson, a representative of
GemPlus SA and up to two representatives of The CIT Group, Inc., as directors in
2001 and 2002 is virtually assured. Presently, only one representative of The
CIT Group, Inc., Mr. Bradley D. Nullmeyer, is serving as a director.
CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS OFFERING AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
IMMEDIATE DILUTION.
Based on the number of common shares outstanding as of February 29, 2000,
existing shareholders have paid an average of $.61 per share for their common
shares, including the full exercise of the warrants related to the 1999 CIT Line
of Credit, which is considerably less than the amount to be paid by investors
who purchase in this offering. New investors in this offering will experience an
immediate dilution of $ per share, also based on the number of outstanding
shares as of February 29, 2000, including the exercise of the warrants related
to the 1999 CIT Line of Credit. This offering will also create a public market
for the resale of shares held by existing investors, and substantially increase
the market value of those shares.
WE HAVE CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER DEFENSES THAT COULD DELAY OR PREVENT AN
ACQUISITION OF OUR COMPANY.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that may deter
an attempt to change or gain control of RealMed. As a result, you may be
deprived of opportunities to sell some or all of your common shares at prices
that represent a premium over market prices. These provisions include the
existence of blank check preferred stock, staggered terms for the directors,
restrictions on the
12
<PAGE>
ability to change the number of directors or to remove a director and certain
supermajority voting requirements. Additionally, the board has implemented a
rights plan.
FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON SHARES COULD AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE.
After the completion of this offering, we will have a large number of common
shares outstanding and available for resale beginning at various points of time
in the future. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public
market following this offering, or the perception that those sales will occur,
could cause the market price of our common shares to decline. Those sales also
might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a
time and at a price that we deem appropriate. Some of the holders of our common
shares also have demand and piggyback registration rights enabling them to
register their shares under the Securities Act for sale. For more detailed
information, see "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed in "Risk Factors" and other sections of
this prospectus. These statements often contain statements like believe, expect,
anticipate, intend, contemplate, seek, plan, estimate or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance. Because we
cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that may affect us, or control
the ones we do predict, these risks and uncertainties can cause our results to
differ materially from the results we express in our forward-looking statements.
Recognize these statements for what they are and do not rely on them as facts.
We are not obligated to update forward-looking statements.
CONCURRENT OFFERING
This prospectus relates to our direct offering of common shares to
certain payers that have signed letters of understanding to utilize the RealMed
Network. We are concurrently offering common shares to the public in a
concurrent underwritten offering under a separate prospectus. The completion of
our offering to the payers under this prospectus is contingent on our completing
our underwritten initial public offering. We will receive all proceeds from the
offering. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation is acting as the
placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent will
receive a fee of $ per share sold in this offering. We will indemnify the
placement agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933. See "Plan of Distribution."
13
<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from the sale of
common shares we are offering, consisting of shares offered in this
offering and shares offered in our concurrent underwritten offering, will
be approximately million, or approximately $ million if the
underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option in the concurrent
underwritten offering at the assumed offering price of $ per share, in each
case after deducting the estimated placement agent's fee, underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
We will use the net proceeds from this offering for the following:
- integration with payers;
- further research and development;
- repayment of existing debt; and
- other general corporate purposes.
The exact amounts we actually expend for each of the categories above will
vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including revenue growth,
if any, the amount of cash we generate from operations and the number of
contracts for the RealMed Network. As a result, we will retain broad discretion
in the allocation and use of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending the
uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in
short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities.
The existing debt to be repaid with proceeds from the offering consists of:
- a $4,285,798 secured note payable with GemPlus SA, a shareholder, with an
annual interest rate of 12.0% maturing on December 15, 2002;
- a $150,000 demand note with Robert B. Peterson, a founder and shareholder,
at 4.0% interest; and
- a $19,000 noninterest-bearing advance from Robert B. Peterson and Mark A.
Morris, the founders, payable upon demand.
We borrowed funds under the 1999 CIT Line of Credit and entered into the
GemPlus SA secured note in 1999. We used proceeds from these borrowings for
general corporate purposes.
The 1999 CIT Line of Credit bears interest at an annual rate of 8.0% and
matures the earlier of (1) demand by the lender following an initial public
offering or (2) June 15, 2003. The CIT Group, Inc. will convert $17.5 million
under the 1999 CIT Line of Credit into 19,531,250 common shares at an exercise
price of $.896 per share at the initial public offering. Such exercise will
offset the $17,500,000 due under the 1999 CIT Line of Credit.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common shares and
do not intend to pay any cash dividends with respect to our common shares in the
foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings for use in the operation of
our business and to fund future growth.

DILUTION
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 1999 was
approximately $(10,765,000) or $(.29) per share. Our pro forma net tangible book
value per share represents
- our total tangible assets minus total liabilities, divided by
- the total pro forma number of common shares on that date, after giving
effect to the conversion of $17.5 million under the 1999 CIT Line of
Credit into 19,531,250 common shares.
Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference
between
- the amount per share paid by purchasers of common shares in this offering,
and
- the net tangible book value per common share immediately after the
offering.
After giving effect to the conversion of $17.5 million under the 1999 CIT
Line of Credit into 19,531,250 common shares, the sale of common shares
offered by this prospectus and the sale of shares in our initial public
offering and after deducting the placement agent's fee, underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and the
application of the estimated net proceeds, our pro forma net tangible book value
at December 31, 1999 would have been approximately $ , or approximately $

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS THAT REFLECT OUR PLANS, ESTIMATES AND BELIEFS. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS
COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED IN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE
"RISK FACTORS."
OVERVIEW
We operate the RealMed Network, an Internet-based business-to-business
connectivity solution for healthcare providers and payers. The RealMed Network
offers complete claims resolution in seconds at the point of care. We have
received initial commitments for the roll out of the RealMed Network from five
regionally dominant payers: (1) Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc.; (2) WellPoint
Health Networks, Inc.; (3) Blue Cross/Blue Shield of North Carolina;
(4) CareFirst Blue Cross; and (5) Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois. In
April 2000, we launched the RealMed Network with Anthem of Indiana. We are in
various stages of integration with our other payers.
We were incorporated in November 1995 and commenced operations in
January 1997. Since our inception, we have derived substantially all of our
revenues from processing of medical savings accounts claims. Currently, we do
not expect to continue to generate material revenues from this business. Due to
our limited operating history with our Network, it is difficult for us to
predict with any accuracy our future results of operations. As of December 31,
1999, we had net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes of
approximately $22 million, which begin to expire in 2018. We believe that
period-to-period comparison of our financial results is not necessarily
meaningful and you should not rely upon them as an indication of our future
performance.
Following the launch of the RealMed Network, we expect our revenues to be
derived from our payers and providers. Payer revenues will be based on the
number of claims processed through the RealMed Network. To encourage payer
adoption of the RealMed Network, we have guaranteed an identified level of
savings per claim for our initial payer partners and have incurred the cost of
Network integration. Payer revenues will be recognized as transactions are
completed. To the extent any saving guarantees are owed to payer, we expect to
settle with the payer on a quarterly basis to mitigate the risk of revenue
adjustments.
Provider revenues will be generated on a monthly subscription basis pursuant
to a 12-month subscription agreement with monthly renewals at the end of the
first subscription period. To encourage provider adoption of the RealMed
Network, the initial three months of the first subscription period for the
providers are free. The subscription is cancelable with thirty days notice.
Provider revenues will be recognized when the provider is billed for the monthly
subscription. No subscription revenues will be realized during the free trial
period of three months.
We do not expect to have a material amount, if any, of capitalized software
development costs. We expect to expense significant portions of the payer
integration costs.
To date, we have incurred substantial costs to design, build and enhance the
RealMed Network, integrate with our payers, develop our infrastructure, and grow
our business. We have yet to generate revenues from the RealMed Network. We have
incurred operating losses in each fiscal quarter since we were formed. We expect
operating losses and negative cash flow to continue for the foreseeable future
as we intend to significantly increase our operating expenses to integrate the
RealMed Network. These costs could have an adverse effect on our future
financial condition or operating results.

REVENUE AND EXPENSE COMPONENTS
The following descriptions of the components of revenues and expenses apply
to the Comparison of Results of Operations:
REVENUES. Historically, revenues consisted of fees received relating to the
processing of medical savings accounts. In the future, we expect revenues to be
derived almost exclusively from the RealMed Network.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of employee compensation, the cost of outside technology consultants
and other direct expenses incurred in the development of our product.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses
consist primarily of employee compensation, the cost of outside consultants and
other direct expenses incurred in securing payer proof of concepts and other
sales and marketing efforts for the RealMed Network.
PAYER INTEGRATION COSTS. Payer integration costs include internal salary
and salary-related costs of technical, strategic, operational and financial
integration personnel and the cost of outside consultants utilized in the
integration process.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of compensation and other costs for legal, finance, management and
administrative personnel as well as facility and other operating costs.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation expense includes costs
for vesting of in-the-money option grants, vesting of restricted share grants
and the total value of unrestricted share grants.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation on property and equipment and amortization of purchased software
primarily related to the medical savings account administration process.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense includes debt-related interest, a loan
commitment fee paid to a shareholder in the form of common shares and expense
related to warrants issued with the 1999 CIT Line of Credit.
INCOME TAXES. As a result of our net operating losses, as well as net
operating loss carryforwards, no net provisions for income taxes have been
recorded.
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
REVENUES. Revenues were derived from the processing of medical savings
accounts in the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999. There will be a minimal
amount of revenue derived from these contracts on an ongoing basis.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs increased 28.0%
from $3,026,000 in the year ended December 31, 1998 to $3,872,000 in the year
ended December 31, 1999. This increase reflects the growth in technical
personnel and other expenses required for the development of the RealMed
Network.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, SALES AND MARKETING. Business development, sales and
marketing costs increased 42.5% from $967,000 in the year ended December 31,
1998 to $1,378,000 in the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase reflects
the growth in marketing expenses as we approached product rollout. In
particular, we have established a dedicated sales force and formed strategic
alliances with MarketSource for the development of a provider marketing program.

<PAGE>
PAYER INTEGRATION COSTS. Payer integration costs of $585,000 were incurred
in the year ended December 31, 1999, relating to the initiation of our
integration with one payer.
INVENTORY WRITEDOWN. In the year ended December 31, 1999, we incurred a
$4,181,000 inventory writedown. This resulted from a change in our technology
strategy following the determination that we would not be using our card reader
inventory, with the disposal of this inventory in March, 2000.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. The decrease of 50.0% in stock based compensation
expense from $1,705,000 in the year ended December 31, 1998 to $852,000 in the
year ended December 31, 1999 was due to unrestricted share grants to officers
who are no longer with us in the year ended December 31, 1998 totaling $965,000.
There were no unrestricted share grants in the year ended December 31, 1999.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased
48.4% from $446,000 in the year ended December 31, 1998 to $662,000 in the year
ended December 31, 1999. Included in depreciation and amortization was the
amortization of purchased medical account processing software of $416,667 in the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999. This asset was fully amortized in 1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased from $67,000 in the year ended
December 31, 1998 to $2,367,000 in the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase in interest expense is related to a $1,293,000 loan commitment fee paid
to a shareholder in April, 1999 in the form of 1,375,000 common shares, an
increase in long-term debt outstanding and accretion of the warrant related to
the 1999 CIT Line of Credit.
INCOME TAXES. As a result of our net operating losses, no net provision for
income taxes during the year ended December 31, 1999 was recorded. As of
December 31, 1999, we had net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting
purposes of approximately $22 million, which begin to expire in 2018.
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
REVENUES. Revenues, which were derived from the processing of medical
savings accounts, increased 37.9% from $369,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997 to $509,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This increase reflects an
increase in covered lives under medical savings accounts.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs increased 17.1%
from $2,584,000 in the year ended December 31, 1997 to $3,026,000 in the year
ended December 31, 1998. This increase reflects the growth in technical
personnel and other expenses required for the development of the RealMed
Network.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, SALES AND MARKETING. Business development, sales and
marking costs increased 88.1% from $514,000 in the year ended December 31, 1997
to $967,000 in the year ended December 31, 1998. This increase reflects
increased personnel and other expenses of the RealMed Network and an increase in
our marketing resources.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation expense was $1,705,000
in the year ended December 31, 1998 and includes the cost for vesting of
in-the-money option grants and the total value of unrestricted share grants to
officers who are no longer with RealMed. No stock based compensation was
recognized in the year ended December 31, 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $67,000 in the year ended
December 31, 1998. We had no interest expense in the year ended December 31,
1997.
INCOME TAXES. As a result of our net operating loss in 1998 and prior
years, no net provision or benefit for income taxes was recorded.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception in November 1995, we have primarily financed our
operations through private placements of equity and debt securities. As of
December 31, 1999, net proceeds available from these financings totaled
$29.3 million.
As of December 31, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million
and a $17,500,000 line of credit from The CIT Group, Inc., a shareholder, of
which $8.0 million was available. In January, 2000, we entered into a
$10,000,000 line of credit with The CIT Group, Inc. The line can be drawn in
increments between $1.0 million and $2.5 million, subject to our execution of a
new commitment for a proof of concept to provide the RealMed Network to a
significant payer and our use of all other sources of available liquidity. A
significant payer is defined as an insurer, which processes in excess of
10.0 million claims annually. We have signed commitments from five payers who
meet these criteria. The line is due in full upon the earlier of an initial
public offering or December 31, 2002, and bears interest at 15.0%, payable
quarterly in arrears, carries a 2.0% unused commitment fee payable quarterly and
a fee of the greater of 0.5% of our total market capitalization at the initial
public offering date or $1.0 million (payable in stock or cash). Upon completion
of this offering we will incur a charge of $ in connection with a fee on
the 2000 CIT Line of Credit and will incur a noncash charge of $2,001,953 in
connection with the conversion of $17,500,000 under the 1999 CIT Line of Credit
into 19,531,250 common shares. Also, in March and April 2000, we completed the
sale of approximately $7.5 million of our common shares to three accredited
institutional investors. These investors include AC Ventures, part of the
worldwide Andersen Consulting organization, ($4.5 million) and two
Indianapolis-based investors, including a general partnership comprising 27
accredited investors.
Our operating activities resulted in cash outflows of $8,311,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1999, $5,516,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998
and $3,403,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The cash used during these
periods was primarily attributable to the expenses associated with the
development of the RealMed Network, building our infrastructure, commencement of
integration activities and preparation for product rollout.
Investing activities used cash of $1,004,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999, $121,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $1,558,000
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and primarily related to capital
expenditures.
Financing activities provided cash of $10,568,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999, $5,728,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
$5,001,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and primarily related to private
placements of equity and debt securities.
We currently anticipate that we will continue to experience significant
growth in our operating expenses as we:
- fund the integration with our payers;
- enter new markets;
- increase marketing activities; and
- expand our infrastructure.
These operating expenses will consume a material amount of our cash
resources, including a large portion of the proceeds from this offering. We
believe that our existing available capital will cover a majority of our capital
needs for 2000. We believe the net proceeds from this offering, together with
our existing cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings, will be
sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital
expenditures for at least the next 18 months.
21
<PAGE>
However, if during or following that period we are not successful in
generating sufficient cash flow from operations or in raising additional capital
when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, these
failures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. If we raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity securities the percentage ownership of our then current
stockholders would be reduced.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial
position, operating results or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial
markets and interest rates. Although changes in interest rates and financial
markets could affect our customers and our effective realization, we believe
such changes will have no impact on our notes payable and capital lease
obligations because they are at fixed interest rates. Historically and as of
February 29, 2000, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging
activities.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We own and operate the RealMed Network, an Internet-based,
business-to-business healthcare connectivity solution for payers and providers.
Payers include insurers, health maintenance organizations, third-party
administrators and preferred provider organizations, and providers include
physicians, physician practice groups and hospitals. The RealMed Network
provides a secure, two-way link between the provider's desktop and the payer's
legacy computer system. We offer our customers resolution of healthcare claims
in seconds, at the point of care in an efficient and cost-effective manner. To
accomplish the resolution of claims, we access the payer's adjudication logic
and customer database.
We have received initial commitments from five regionally dominant payers to
integrate the RealMed Network in selected markets: (1) Anthem Insurance
Companies, Inc.; (2) WellPoint Health Networks, Inc.; (3) Blue Cross/Blue Shield
of North Carolina; (4) CareFirst Blue Cross; and (5) Blue Cross/Blue Shield of
Illinois. These payers collectively represent a potential market of 13 states
and the District of Columbia, 22 million covered lives and 128 million annual
private physician claims, which is approximately 13% of the U.S. private
physician claims market. These numbers do not include two additional states
representing 2.0 million covered lives and 20 million private physician claims
related to acquisitions by two of our payers. These acquisitions are currently
in the regulatory approval process.
While the RealMed Network is presently built to resolve private physician
claims, we are actively working to expand the functionality of the Network to
include Medicare and pharmaceuticals claims processing. We estimate the Medicare
annual claims market to be approximately 350 million physician claims. We
estimate the pharmaceuticals annual claims market to be approximately 1.6
billion physician and Medicare claims. In total, approximately 4.7 billion
healthcare claims were processed in the United States in 1999.
In April 2000, we launched the RealMed Network with Anthem of Indiana. We
are currently in various stages of integration with our other payers. We believe
that the successful execution of our Network with these payers and their
providers will be key to our ability to attract new customers. The development
of an expanded Network will enable us to add more customers and launch new
products and services.
Currently, healthcare claims are generally submitted to a payer through a
clearinghouse or other third party via electronic data interchange, or EDI,
regular mail, or fax. These traditional processes are inefficient, time
intensive and costly, due to their inability to automatically process and
adjudicate claims. In addition to slow turnaround times for standard claims, the
length of time and cost per claim increases significantly if any information
submitted by a provider is incorrect, incomplete or inconsistent with the
policies of a payer. The current sequential process of submitting, adjudicating
and approving the payment of healthcare claims averages 42 days at an average
cost of $19 per claim.
The RealMed Network re-engineers the claims process to streamline workflow
and improve cost efficiency. The RealMed Network also supports HIPAA compliance
by tracking electronic transactions and assuring the security and privacy of
patient information. We expect our Internet-based platform to minimize the
inefficiencies of EDI or paper-based claims settlement by enabling the provider
to resolve claims in seconds through direct access to the payer's legacy
computer system.
INDUSTRY
The U.S. healthcare system is generally regarded as expensive, fragmented
and inefficient. HCFA estimates that in 1999, healthcare expenditures
represented approximately $1.2 trillion, or 13.3%, of the U.S. Gross Domestic
Product. An estimated $210 billion, or 17.5%, of healthcare expenditures are
related to administration. Included in administration are claims submission
processing and settlement
23
<PAGE>
expenses. The settlement of healthcare claims is a complex process, involving
detailed contractual, legal and regulatory relationships between payers,
providers and patients.
In an effort to contain increasing healthcare costs, the U.S. healthcare
industry is undergoing dramatic change. Payers have partially reduced the cost
of patient care by lowering reimbursement rates, restricting coverage for
services and limiting patient access to a select group of providers. The
emergence of the Internet as a low cost connectivity platform for business
transactions provides the opportunity to further reduce the cost of healthcare
by improving administrative processes such as the processing of healthcare
claims.
Payers and providers must also contend with continually evolving healthcare
regulation. HCFA recently proposed new regulations under HIPAA. These
regulations would impose stringent privacy and security standards on the storage
and transfer of healthcare information.
Currently, the variety of existing information systems utilized by payers
and providers lacks compatibility. This is primarily due to the complexity, cost
and management challenges associated with designing, building and integrating
such a platform. This incompatibility, combined with distrust among the
healthcare participants, has further complicated and delayed the development of
a universal and highly functional claims management system.
THE INTERNET AND HEALTHCARE
The Internet's open architecture, low cost accessibility and growing
acceptance make it an increasingly important platform for business-to-business
interaction. For many industries, the Internet is connecting previously
disconnected business processes and allowing companies to streamline and
automate workflow, lower distribution and communication costs and extend their
market reach. We believe the healthcare industry, because of its size,
fragmentation and fundamental dependence on accurate and timely information
exchange, is particularly well-suited to benefit from greater use of the
Internet. In addition, we believe the process of claims resolution could be made
less time-consuming and more accurate if an Internet-based application which
completely resolves claims, as opposed to merely electronically delivering
claims, becomes the industry standard. The Internet's usage and effectiveness in
healthcare claims processing, however, will be largely determined by the quality
of the software solutions available in the marketplace and the rate of adoption
by payers and providers.
HEALTHCARE CLAIMS PROCESS
The healthcare claims resolution process involves managing detailed
contractual, legal and regulatory relationships between and among payers,
providers and patients. These inter-relationships are further complicated by the
myriad of benefit plan rules that comprise payers' individual or group health
plans and privacy concerns. The successful resolution of a healthcare claim
requires the step-by-step sequential application and analysis of these numerous
and often detailed rules to determine the level of coverage for medical care and
the related payment (by the payer and the patient) for those services. The steps
necessary to complete the resolution of a healthcare claim are as follows:
ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION. Before treating a patient, a provider generally
must verify the eligibility of an individual by contacting a payer. This
process, which is traditionally done via telephone, fax or EDI, can often
consume considerable time and entails significant administrative cost for both
the office staff of a provider and the administration personnel of a payer. Some
clearinghouses periodically copy payer's databases and allow simple yes/no
eligibility checks. However, since these solutions do not allow providers access
to up-to-date databases, they could lead to erroneous assumptions regarding
eligibility.
DETERMINATION OF DEDUCTIBLE AND CO-PAY STATUS. In addition to verifying
eligibility, the provider must also confirm the deductible and co-payment status
of the patient in order to settle a patient's account
24
<PAGE>
at the point of care. Under most current systems, including EDI, deductibles are
not generally available to the provider until the claim is fully adjudicated and
settled by the payer, typically many weeks after the patient receives care.
Consequently, providers incur additional cost to separately bill the patient and
often may be unable to collect the amount owed.
CLAIMS SUBMISSION PROCESS. Providers submit claims to payers via EDI, fax
or by regular mail. Healthcare claims submitted through EDI or paper form are
generally processed by clearinghouses. Healthcare claims clearinghouses accept,
sort, process, edit and then forward the claims to the appropriate payers,
either electronically or on paper, to be adjudicated and paid by the payer.
Currently, approximately 65% of processed claims involve electronic
processing. This relatively high percentage indicates a strong movement away
from the paper-based process. However, current processing techniques, including
EDI, lack the ability for two-way communication and back-end editing
functionality. As a result, these processes address less than 25% of the overall
healthcare claim processing cost. In addition, current solutions using the
Internet or EDI do not access up to date databases.
THE ADJUDICATION PROCESS. The healthcare claims adjudication process begins
when the payer receives a claim from the patient, provider or the clearinghouse.
Typically, the claim is handled by batch or manual processing. The payer first
determines whether the patient and service are covered under the payer's plan.
The payer also determines whether there are errors or internal inconsistencies
in the claim, including incompatible procedures or a misidentification of the
patient. If the patient and service are covered, the payer prices the claim
based on applicable health plan benefits, determines the patient's share of the
cost, and pays its portion of the claim. In the event that there is an error in
the claim at any point in the process, the claim is returned to the provider's
office for correction. Any minor error in the claim adds to the already lengthy
delay between the provision of care and the payment of a claim.
DELIVERY OF THE EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS. The EOB represents the final
accounting for all parties in the claims process. Currently, the EOB is sent via
regular mail an average of 42 days following the provision of care. In the event
the patient has a question or finds an error, the patient has to contact the
payer directly, which can be time consuming and frustrating.
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES. Upon final completion and correction of any errors in
the EOB, the payer runs an additional batch process to either issue a check or
request an electronic funds transfer to the provider, generally several weeks
after the claim has been submitted.
25
<PAGE>
THE TYPICAL PROCESSING CYCLE
The typical processing cycle is illustrated in the chart below. The process
takes an average of six weeks and does not take into account delays caused by
the re-submission of a claim due to errors.
[CHART]
1. PATIENT NEEDS CARE.
2. CHECK-IN: The patient visits the provider, presents the insurance card and
fills out a check-in form.
3. RECORDS MANAGEMENT: The office staff copies the front and back of the card.
4. RECORDS MANAGEMENT: The office staff files the photocopy of the card in the
patient's record.
5. ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION: The office staff calls the payer on the phone to
verify the eligibility of the patient.
6. DATA ENTRY: The office staff types the patient's information into the
computer.
7. TREATMENT: The patient sees the provider, after which the provider completes
a superbill or charge ticket indicating diagnosis and treatment codes.
8. CHARGE TICKET: One copy goes to the patient.
9. CHARGE TICKET: One copy goes to the provider's billing office.
10. CLAIM SUBMISSION: The claim form is either: filled out manually and set
aside to be picked up and mailed to the payer (10a), sent via EDI directly to
the payer (10b) or sent through an electronic clearinghouse for editing and
reformatting per specific payer guidelines (10c).
11. THE BOTTOM DRAWER: If the claim presents problems, the office staff may set
it aside to be addressed at a later time.
12. PAPER TO ELECTRONIC CONVERSION: The payer often transfers the claims to
electronic files using optical character recognition (OCR).
13. CLAIM BATCHING, REPRICING & ADJUDICATION: The Payer uses large mainframe
computers to reprice and adjudicate the claim.
14. PERSONAL REVIEW: If the claim cannot be repriced or auto-adjudicated, it is
sent on for personal review by a claims examiner.
15. CLAIM ERROR: If a claim has an error, it is returned to the healthcare
provider's office staff for revision.
16. ACCOUNTING: If the claim is acceptable, it is then eligible for payment.
17. ISSUE CHECK: A check (as necessary) and EOB is mailed to the provider.
18. SEND EOB: An EOB is mailed to the patient.
19. BALANCE BILLING: The provider reconciles the EOB against accounts receivable
and re-bills the patient as necessary.
20. COMPLETE PROCESS: The patient mails the provider a check if co-insurance is
appropriate or if the deductible is not met.

THE REALMED SOLUTION
The RealMed Network re-engineers the claims process to streamline workflow
and improve cost efficiency. The RealMed Network also supports HIPAA compliance
by tracking electronic transactions and assuring the security and privacy of
patient information. We expect our Internet-based platform to minimize the
inefficiencies of EDI or paper-based claims settlement by enabling the provider
to resolve claims in seconds. The RealMed Network fully automates the claims
process from downloading patient information to resolving payments owed to the
provider. We believe that by re-engineering this process, we can reduce the
processing cost per claim by more than 50% for each of payers and providers. The
claims process is reduced to seven steps with the RealMed Network, as
illustrated in the chart below:
[CHART]
1. PATIENT NEEDS CARE.
2. CHECK-IN: A patient visits the healthcare provider's office and presents a
health insurance smart card or current ID card; an electronic check-in file is
opened using the RealMed Network, which retrieves the precise demographic and
insurance information from the payer's legacy computer system.
3. ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION: The office staff uses RealMed to verify eligibility
on-line in real time by connecting to the RealMed Network.
4. TREATMENT: The patient sees the provider for diagnosis and treatment.
5. CLAIM SUBMISSION: The office staff uses RealMed to file an electronic claim
form to the payer organization. On-line edits ensure the claim is accurately
completed.
6. REPRICING AND ADJUDICATION: The RealMed Network links with the payer's
existing adjudication engine to reprice and adjudicate the claim and returns the
claim to the healthcare provider for acceptance within seconds. If an error is
found, the office staff receives an on-line notice and may correct the error and
re-submit.
7. RESOLUTION AND PAYMENT: An electronic funds transfer is then ordered from the
payer to cover treatment costs and a customized EOB is printed for both the
provider and patient records before the patient leaves the office. If the
provider chooses, the provider can request the balance due from the patient on
the spot. In addition to knowing the precise amount the provider will receive
from the payer, the RealMed Network also indicates the date on which the payer
will wire the provider funds to settle the claim. Timing of funds transfer is
determined by the specific payer and will typically be completed between one and
7 days and no more than 30 days after the transfer has been ordered.
27
<PAGE>
BENEFITS OF THE REALMED NETWORK
We believe that we provide our payer and provider customers the following
benefits:
SIGNIFICANT TIME AND EXPENSE REDUCTION ASSOCIATED WITH PROCESSING
CLAIMS. The RealMed Network enables us to fully automate the numerous routine
steps involved in resolving a typical healthcare claim while the patient is
still in the provider's office. This contrasts with EDI or paper-based claims,
which take an average of 42 days to resolve. We believe that use of the RealMed
Network can reduce the processing cost per claim by more than 50% for each of
payers and providers by:
- reducing the steps required to resolve a claim;
- eliminating duplicate claims through immediate detection and notification
of errors;
- reducing costs of delivering EOBs;
- reducing the administrative costs of resolving claims; and
- reducing billing and collection costs.
ACCELERATING PAYMENT AND CERTAINTY OF AMOUNTS OWED. The RealMed Network
provides payers, providers and patients with confirmation regarding their
financial benefits and obligations at the time and point of care. In addition to
receiving the precise amount the payer will pay to the provider, the provider
also receives the date on which the payer will wire the funds. This enables the
provider to better manage its cash position. In addition, we believe that prompt
resolution of claims promotes favorable payer/provider relations.
IMPROVING ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY OF DATA TRANSFER. The RealMed Network
enhances the accuracy and efficiency of data transfer for payers and providers
through its automation and integration with the payer's legacy computer system.
The RealMed Network streamlines the claims process through the following
features:
- a dedicated, secure communication link with the payer's member database;
- minimization of data entry to reduce the opportunity for error;
- instant notification of errors with ability to resubmit;
- automatic adjudication and settlement notification, including amount and
date of settlement; and
- delivery of the EOB to the patient at the point of care.
ENHANCING MANAGEMENT INFORMATION. In addition to producing a number of
standard reports designed to provide payers and providers with summary data on
their businesses, our proprietary relational databases can be queried to respond
to specific data requests. The searchable nature of the databases enables us to
respond to requests for custom reports quickly and efficiently. This provides
both payers and providers with the opportunity to query, segment and analyze
trends in their business and ultimately develop strategies to promptly respond
to the evolving requirements of their customers.
INCREASING SECURITY AND REDUCING OPPORTUNITY FOR FRAUD. The RealMed Network
significantly reduces a payer's security concerns about outsourcing or
replicating adjudication logic by forming a secure electronic network which
links the payer's claims management databases and claims adjudication systems to
the provider's desktop. Network access controls include:
- password authentication for payers and providers;
- smart card technology for the provider's office;
- data encryption prior to transmission over the Internet; and
28
<PAGE>
- multi-layered firewall technology.
Our Network and data warehouse are also protected by physical safeguards
including on-site security, restricted access to hardware and remote site data
warehousing and systems back-up. Our Network is also being developed and built
to support government compliance including HIPAA and HCFA compliance standards.
The RealMed Network's functionality allows us to respond rapidly to changing
security and compliance standards and instantly implement system upgrades.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our goal is to become the industry standard for healthcare connectivity. The
key elements of our strategy are to:
MAXIMIZE OUR MARKET OPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR EXISTING PAYERS AND
PROVIDERS. We believe that the successful execution of the proof of concept
phase with our existing payers and their providers will be key to our ability to
initiate the roll-out of the RealMed Network across their markets and to attract
new payers and providers. Our existing payer and provider relationships provide
a substantial presence in key geographic areas. These payers collectively
represent a potential market of 13 states and the District of Columbia,
22 million covered lives and 128 million annual private physician claims, which
is approximately 13% of the U.S. private physician claims market. While the
RealMed Network is presently built to resolve private physician claims, we are
actively working to expand the functionality of the Network to include Medicare
and pharmaceuticals claims processing. We estimate the Medicare annual claims
market to be approximately 350 million physician claims. We estimate the
pharmaceuticals annual claims market to be approximately 1.6 billion physician
and Medicare claims. In total, approximately 4.7 billion healthcare claims were
processed in the United States in 1999.
INCREASE OUR MARKET PENETRATION ON A NATIONAL LEVEL BY FOCUSING ON LEADING
REGIONAL PAYERS AND PROVIDERS AND THEN ON NATIONAL PAYERS. We believe that
development of regional markets is essential to increasing the nationwide market
penetration of the RealMed Network and increasing the number of transactions
flowing through our Network. Healthcare is a local business driven by payers and
providers that are dominant in regional markets. We believe that providers will
only be willing to adopt systems that offer a solution for a meaningful portion
of their claims. We believe that by initiating relationships with payers that
have greater than a 20% regional market share, we can maximize provider use and
quickly establish RealMed as the standard for claims resolution. Subsequent to
our roll-out with a dominant regional payer, we intend to add new payers in that
market, including national payers, to increase claims penetration percentages
among the providers in that market.
EXPAND TECHNOLOGICAL LEADERSHIP BY INCREASING OUR PORTFOLIO OF APPLICATIONS,
SERVICES AND PRODUCT OFFERINGS. We believe that the RealMed Network comprises
advanced technology that no other competitor currently offers. We have filed for
three patents on our internally developed processes and products. We believe
that by adding new functionality, applications, services and products to our
Network, we can expand our technology leadership and increase market share,
Network usage and revenues. We have several significant projects currently in
development, including:
- developing an electronic interface between the RealMed Network and the
provider's existing practice management software;
- expanding the types of claims that can be processed by the RealMed Network
to include other claims, such as Medicare and pharmaceutical claims; and
- augmenting our capabilities to include interactive referrals and credit
and debit card processing.
GENERATE ADDITIONAL REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES USING THE REALMED NETWORK. We
believe that the reach of the RealMed Network will be a powerful platform for
the delivery of additional revenue opportunities.

We may seek to expand existing or acquire new businesses, products and
technologies, or enter into strategic partnerships.
THE REALMED NETWORK
The RealMed Network is a real-time, two-way, Internet based connectivity
solution for healthcare payers and providers. The primary components of the
RealMed Network include:
REALMED DATA CENTER. We have designed and built our Data Center to achieve
the following functionality:
- IMMEDIATE, TWO-WAY EXCHANGE OF PATIENT AND CLAIMS CARE DATA: The Data
Center hosts Internet applications that facilitate high-speed data
communication between payer legacy computer systems and provider personal
computers. Multiple firewalls are incorporated into our applications for
added security.
- PLATFORM FOR CAPTURING AND STORING DATA: We use advanced database
technology to capture and store patient data that can be retrieved,
reviewed and sorted for our customers. The database also enables us to
perform interactive auditing for certain types of fraud.
- ASSURANCE OF FUTURE SCALABILITY AND PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT: We have used a
multi-tiered distributed application hardware configuration that maximizes
the speed and efficiency of the RealMed Network while permitting the
flexibility to add additional storage capacity and processing speed.
Because our application is hosted at our Data Center, we can rapidly
implement any changes without installing additional software on the
provider's desktop.
REALMED PAYER INTERFACE. The key to forming an interface with the payer is
the integration of our Data Center with targeted areas of a payer's legacy
computer system. After a letter of understanding is signed, we work with the
payer to develop a customized framework for the integration of the RealMed
Network. During the integration process, which may take up to six months, we
connect our Data Center to the provider's legacy computer system through the use
of proprietary software and process technology. A secure, dedicated
communications link is also established between our Data Center and the payer
via a private network. Integration of the RealMed Network is designed to have
minimum operational impact on the payer's processes, systems and databases.
We then implement a proof of concept phase during which selected providers
in a targeted geography are connected to the RealMed Network. Our operations
begin with a proof of concept phase that lasts from 3 to 12 months depending
upon the payer. Upon completion of the proof of concept phase, assuming the
meeting of performance criteria, payers agree to an expanded scope of
implementation.
We have engaged several technology consulting services firms. We utilize
Ernst & Young, LLP for subject matter and business process consulting. We
utilize Andersen Consulting as a preferred payer integration partner. These
consultants have extensive backgrounds in the development of the legacy computer
systems of our customers and enable us to accelerate the integration process.
REALMED PROVIDER INTERFACE. The provider's access to the RealMed Network is
achieved through an easy to use, secure Internet based application that is
hosted by our Data Center. This type of system is often referred to as "thin
client" technology. The turn-key nature of the RealMed Network enables rapid
roll-out and installation at a provider's office. Our use of a Internet
browser-based provider interface minimizes training and accelerates adoption.
The provider is identified by a smart card that is provided as part of the
monthly subscription. Patient information is accessed and claims are submitted
by using a patient identification number or a patient smart card provided by the
payer. The RealMed Network also allows the provider to review
30
<PAGE>
submitted claims and the status of electronic funds transfer. We have
established strategic relationships with Bell Industries, a technology systems
integrator, and V(4) Consulting, a large provider practice consultant, to assist
us in the initial installation of our Network. Bell has extensive experience in
software installation and technology integration, and V(4) has extensive
consulting experience with large provider practices, which should enable us to
accelerate the roll-out of the RealMed Network to providers. We are currently
developing an electronic interface between the RealMed Network and several
practice management software systems. This interface is designed to
substantially improve provider work-flow and efficiency.
SALES & MARKETING
PAYERS. We have a dedicated sales force focusing on marketing to selected
payers. We are targeting payers based on their regional market share. We believe
that developing relationships with the primary payer in a region maximizes our
ability to enroll providers. We have selected each of our targeted payers based
on the following characteristics:
- having between 5% and 25% share in a given geography;
- having processed at least 5,000,000 claims per year;
- having a clearly defined growth strategy; and
- embracing a partnership approach.
Subsequent to our integration with a dominant regional payer, we intend to
add new payers in that market to increase our rate of claims penetration among
the providers in that market.
To encourage adoption of the RealMed Network, we offer our payers a proof of
concept phase during which we integrate the payer's legacy computer system with
our Data Center and roll-out the RealMed Network to their providers. We assume
the full cost of integration and provider roll-out.
Our existing letters of understanding with five payers represent a potential
market of 13 states and the District of Columbia, 22 million covered lives and
128 million annual private physician claims, which is approximately 13% of the
U.S. private physician claims market. While the RealMed Network is presently
built to resolve private physician claims, we are actively working to expand the
functionality of the Network to include Medicare and pharmaceuticals claims
processing. We estimate the Medicare annual claims market to be approximately
350 million physician claims. We estimate the pharmaceuticals annual claims
market to be approximately 1.6 billion physician and Medicare claims. In total,
approximately 4.7 billion healthcare claims were processed in the United States
in 1999. The ultimate roll-out to this market is subject to the number of claims
adjudication systems to be integrated, the timing of the integration process,
the number of provider practices in these geographies and the speed of provider
acceptance and utilization.
For three of our payer relationships we believe there will be one to two
integrations, at a minimum, for each payer. These payer relationships represent
a potential market of 12 million covered lives and 68 million private physician
claims handed annually. The remaining payer relationships may require several
integrations to cover the claim volume depending on the speed with which each
payer is able to consolidate its own internal systems. We have completed the
integration of one of Anthem's claims adjudication systems for the proof of
concept in Indiana. We have completed the integration planning phase of Blue
Cross/Blue Shield of North Carolina and commenced integration of its two primary
claim systems. We have commenced the planning phase for two of our other payers.
The integration process for WellPoint Health Networks, Inc. will commence in the
near future.
During the integration process we identify the major claims submitting
provider practices. Once the integration is complete, we identify a specific
number of provider practices for the proof of concept. We analyze agreed-upon
functionality metrics of the Network with the payer and providers
31
<PAGE>
during the proof of concept. If the metrics are met, we roll out to all provider
practices in the specific geography. Additionally, large provider practices
represent a substantial portion of an individual payer's claim volume and are
established on the Network in the proof of concept and early stages of roll-out.
We believe our speed of integration and roll-out will improve with each project
and a significant amount of reusable knowledge tools are carried from one
geography to the next.
PROVIDERS. We work with each of our payers to develop a targeted provider
list. These providers generally represent less than 20% of the payer's aggregate
providers but over 80% of total claims. Once these providers have been
identified, a sales representative contacts the provider's primary decision
maker. In addition to targeted provider marketing, we attend and sponsor
selected tradeshows and seminars to increase provider awareness of the benefits
of the RealMed Network. We also utilize direct mail and targeted print
advertising.
A significant part of our marketing strategy is our strategic partnership
with MarketSource, an experienced contract sales force organization with
25 years of experience in marketing to the healthcare and technology industries.
MarketSource recruits, hires and employs a dedicated sales force. We believe
that our relationship with MarketSource increases the scalability of the RealMed
Network and enables us to maximize market penetration.
PROVIDER CUSTOMER SUPPORT
We have established a help desk to assist our providers with installation
and utilization questions. We have formed a strategic partnership with Bell
Industries for the design, construction and staffing of our customer service
center. The provider help desk is not responsible for answering questions that
are specific to payer information such as a patient's eligibility, policy
benefits, or benefit payments. These types of questions are forwarded to the
appropriate payer for resolution.
TECHNOLOGY
We believe that our proprietary technology platform provides us with a
competitive advantage. Our Data Center, utilizes a multi-tiered, object-oriented
environment. Through its open architecture, the Data Center integrates disparate
systems and data with the RealMed provider interface. We currently use Oracle
and SQL server database technology to support our data storage requirements.
We have developed our solutions using an open architecture standard,
allowing separate functional components to interact with several different
hardware platforms. Our provider solution operates on Microsoft Windows 95, 98,
2000 or NT. Additional servers may be placed in the system to ensure scalability
without performance loss. The interaction of this computer software makes the
system truly n-tiered, allowing maximum flexibility for deployment and growth.
We use extensible markup language, or XML, programming to allow the exchange
of data between payers and providers. Our use of XML in our Network provides an
efficient and standardized method of extracting relevant data from a payer.
We have established a plan for disaster recovery in the event of a
catastrophic Data Center disaster. We believe our plan will restore systems
software and data, although we would experience a delay in the functionality of
our Network. While we do not have an off-site back-up data center, we are
actively considering various off-site facility alternatives.
We have a back-up power system, which permits continued operations for a
limited time to avoid short intermittent power failures. In the event of a
complete outage, we have a standby power generator to continue processing.
Our security is based on 128-bit encryption. Access controls utilize
authentication using password IDs, tokens, digital certificates and smart card
technology. Network security is enhanced by advanced
32
<PAGE>
multi-layered firewall technology and use of switched hubs. We employ extensive
auditing using Oracle database technology. Physical security of the Data Center,
which is located in Indianapolis, Indiana, is tightly-controlled, with physical
isolation of systems and hardware and multiple layers of restricted access. We
will support HIPAA and HCFA security and other standards.
COMPETITION
The market for healthcare claims processing solutions is highly competitive
and is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving user needs and the
frequent introduction of new products. Some aspects of our Network compete with
products and services supplied by other Internet healthcare companies. Although
we believe our Network is unique in the industry, we will compete against
traditional EDI and healthcare Internet companies that provide more limited
forms of claims processing services.
We expect that competition will continue to increase as a result of
consolidation in the Internet, information technology and healthcare industries.
We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our markets
include:
- product functionality;
- speed and performance;
- use of open standards technology;
- accuracy and efficiency;
- quality of service and support;
- cost of solution; and
- security of system.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
We rely upon a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws,
license agreements, confidentiality procedures, employee nondisclosure
agreements and technical measures to maintain the secrecy of our intellectual
property. We have filed for three patents in the United States relating to the
RealMed Network.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 2000, we had a total of 98 employees of whom 49 were in
research, development, integration and information technology, 7 were in
customer service, 15 were in business development, sales and marketing, 4 were
in strategic planning and public relations, 7 were in executive management and
16 were in corporate finance and administration. None of our employees are
represented by a labor union, and we have never experienced a work stoppage. We
believe our relationship with our employees is good. Our ability to achieve our
financial and operational objectives depends in large part upon our continuing
ability to attract and retain highly qualified sales, technical and managerial
personnel and upon the continued service of our senior management and key sales
and technical personnel, some of whom are not bound by an employment agreement.
CONTRACT RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2000, we had a total of 27 individuals as contract
resources. We expect the number of contract resources to increase as we roll out
the RealMed Network.
33
<PAGE>
FACILITIES
Our principal executive and corporate offices are located in Indianapolis,
Indiana in approximately 27,345 square feet of leased office space under a lease
that expires in October 2009. We believe that our facilities are adequate for
our current operations and that we can obtain additional leased space if needed.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A former employee has filed a lawsuit against us claiming that we terminated
him without cause under his employment agreement. He is claiming damages of
$100,000. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and we are vigorously
defending it. We are not currently subject to any other legal proceeding.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
As an Internet based healthcare company, we are subject to various federal
and state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to those related to:
- the Internet or other on-line services;
- confidentiality of patient records and the circumstances under which
records may be released;
- the dissemination of medical record information; and
- the imposition of standard transactions, standard identifiers, security
and other provisions implemented by HCFA.
Additional laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet
or other on-line services covering issues such as use, privacy, pricing,
content, copyrights, distribution and characteristics and quality of products
and services. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may impede the
growth of the Internet or other on-line services, which could, in turn, decrease
the demand for our applications and services and increase our cost of doing
business, or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet
of existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as property
ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy is uncertain and
may take years to resolve. Any such new legislation or regulation, the
application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not
currently apply to our business, or the application of existing laws and
regulations to the Internet and other on-line services could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The confidentiality of patient records and the circumstances under which
records may be released for inclusion in our databases are subject to
substantial regulation by state governments. These state laws and regulations
govern both the disclosure and the use of confidential patient medical record
information. Although compliance with these laws and regulations is at present
principally the responsibility of the hospital, physician or other healthcare
provider, regulations governing patient confidentiality rights are evolving
rapidly. Additional legislation governing the dissemination of medical record
information has been proposed at both the state and federal level. This
legislation may require holders of this information to implement security
measures that may require substantial expenditures by us. We cannot assure that
changes to state or federal laws will not materially restrict the ability of
healthcare providers to submit information from patient records using our
applications.
Other legislation currently being considered at the federal level could also
negatively affect our business. For example, HIPAA mandates the use of standard
transactions and identifiers, prescribed security measures and other provisions
within two years after the adoption of final regulations by the
34
<PAGE>
Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, our success depends on
other healthcare participants complying with these regulations.
If FDA regulations were applicable to any of our products and services, we
believe that complying with those regulations would be time consuming,
burdensome and expensive and could delay our introduction of new products or
services. Some computer applications and software are considered medical devices
and are subject to regulation by the FDA. We do not believe that our current
products or services are subject to FDA regulation. We may, however, expand our
product and service offerings into areas that subject us to FDA regulation.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Bylaws authorize between seven and thirteen directors, the exact number
to be fixed by the board of directors. The size of the board of directors is
currently set at eleven. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide
for a classified board. Under a classified board, each director is elected to
one of three classes. Each year the terms of only one of the three classes
expire. As a result, it would take two years to replace a majority of the board.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Executive Committee currently comprises Robert J.
Hicks, Bradley D. Nullmeyer, Randall L. Tobias and Joseph R. Wright and oversees
the strategic direction of the company while making recommendations to the board
on such matters. The Executive Committee is also charged with recruiting and
nominating board members as well as reviewing board structure and compensation
matters.
AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee currently comprises Joseph R. Wright,
Dr. Ralph Snyderman and Robert J. Thompson. The board of directors has adopted a
written charter governing the operation of the Audit Committee. The charter
requires that members of the Audit Committee be independent and prescribes
procedures to be followed by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews
and recommends to the board our internal accounting and financial controls and
the accounting principles and auditing practices and procedures to be used for
our financial statements. The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the board
concerning the engagement of independent public accountants and the scope of the
audit to be undertaken by such accountants.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee currently comprises
Randall L. Tobias, Jack F. Kemp, and Dr. Ralph Snyderman, and is charged with
reviewing and making recommendations to the board covering the policies,
practices and procedures relating to the compensation and benefits of officers

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Generally, upon completion of this offering, directors will receive $1,000
per in person board meeting and $500 per telephonic meeting. They are also
entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with their attendance at board and board committee meetings. Upon
completion of this offering, outside directors generally will receive
compensation aggregating $90,000 annually ($102,500 as the chairperson of a
board committee). This compensation will be paid to the board members as
follows: (1) $50,000 ($62,500 as chairperson of a board committee) in common
shares; and (2) $40,000 in options to purchase common shares. The common shares
will be valued utilizing a trailing 20-day market average. The options will have
an exercise price based on the fair market value on the date of grant and the
number of shares underlying options will be determined using the Black-Scholes
model. Directors will be eligible to defer their common shares
39
<PAGE>
under a deferred compensation plan, the terms of which will be recommended by
the compensation committee of the board and approved by the board in
April 2000. In the event that a director elects not to receive common shares for
the first component of her or his annual compensation, such director shall only
be entitled to receive $40,000 for service as a director or $50,000 for service
as a chairperson of a board committee.
In June 1998, directors Kemp, Wright and Thompson were granted 250,000
options each at an exercise price of $.125 per share under the 1997 Plan.
Effective June 15, 1999, the unvested portion of these shares (150,000 shares
each) was forfeited. Effective June 15, 1999, each of the aforementioned
directors were granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares under the 1999 Plan
at an exercise price of $.896 per share. The options vest over a three-year
period, with 30,000 shares vesting on June 15, 1999 and the remainder vesting
33 1/3% as of June 15 each year so that options will be fully vested after a
three-year period from date of grant.
In November 1999, directors Herzlinger, Snyderman and Tobias were each
awarded a 50,000 share restricted stock grant valued at $1.50 per share to vest
equally over a three-year period. In early 2000, directors Herzlinger and
Snyderman each received a loan of $37,500 to pay anticipated taxes on their
grant of restricted stock. Those notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6.2%
rate and are payable at the earlier of five years or the date their restricted
shares are sold.
Option grants under the 1999 Plan to Jack F. Kemp, Joseph R. Wright, Jr. and
Robert J. Thompson and restricted share grants to Regina E. Herzlinger,
Dr. Ralph Snyderman and Randall L. Tobias were made at an exercise price or
value reflecting the fair market value of our common shares on that date as
determined by the board of directors after taking into account our financial
results and prospects. Option grants under the 1997 Plan were made at below fair
market value.
In March 2000, Regina E. Herzlinger, Jack F. Kemp, Randall L. Tobias and
Joseph R. Wright received option grants under the 2000 Option Plan for
8,000 shares each at an exercise price equal to the initial public offering
price and 15,625 common shares each. In March 2000, Bradley D. Nullmeyer,
Bruno M. Lassus, Dr. Ralph Snyderman and Robert J. Thompson received option
grants under the 2000 Option Plan for 8,000 shares each at an exercise price
equal to the initial public offering price and 12,500 common shares each. These
options vest over a four-year period beginning January 1, 2000.
All restricted share and option grants to board members fully vest in the
event of a change in control.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Before establishing the compensation committee, the board of directors as a
whole performed the functions delegated to the compensation committee. No member
of the board or the compensation committee serves as a member of the board of
directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more directors
serving as an executive officer of RealMed.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our Articles and Bylaws contain certain indemnification provisions providing
that directors, officers and certain employees and agents will be indemnified
against expenses reasonably incurred by them in a claim or proceeding brought
against them or threatened because of their capacity as such. We will not
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent if a court or the board of
directors finds that he or she breached his or her duties through recklessness
or willful misconduct. Indiana law also allows a corporation to pay for or
reimburse reasonable expenses a director, officer, employee or agent incurs
defending any action before the final court decision under certain conditions,
including repayment of any amount paid by us if it is ultimately determined that
the director, officer, employee or agent is not entitled to indemnification. The
indemnification authorized by the Articles and Bylaws
40
<PAGE>
is in addition to all rights to indemnification granted by Indiana law, and in
no way limits the indemnification provisions in the statute.
We carry an insurance policy for the protection of our officers and
directors against any liability asserted against them in their official
capacity.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation
earned for services to us by our chief executive officer and our four other most
highly compensated executive officers whose salary and bonus exceeded $100,000

OPTION GRANTS DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
The following table sets forth certain information for the year ended
December 31, 1999 with respect to grants of stock options to each of the Named
Executive Officers. All options granted in 1999 were granted under the 1999
Plan. These options have a term of 10 years. See "--Employee Benefit
41
<PAGE>
Plans" for a description of the material terms of these options. We granted
options to purchase common shares and issued common shares pursuant to
restricted stock awards equal to a total of 6,599,389 shares during 1999. This
amount includes 6,074,389 shares underlying options granted and 525,000 shares
issued pursuant to restricted stock awards. Options were granted at an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of our common shares, as determined in good
faith by the board of directors. The board of directors determined the fair
market value based on our prospects and the share price derived from arms-length
transactions. Potential realizable values are net of exercise price before
taxes, and are based on the assumption that our common shares appreciate at the
annual rate shown, compounded annually, from the date of grant until the
expiration of the ten-year term. These numbers are calculated based on SEC
requirements and do not reflect our projection or estimate of future stock price
growth.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
THE REALMED CORPORATION 1997 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN. In
December 1997 the board adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 1997 Plan.
We reserved for issuance 12,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the 4 for 1 stock
split in May 1998) under the 1997 Plan. As of February 29, 2000, 794,168 shares
were subject to issuance on the exercise of options granted under the 1997 Plan.
The weighted average exercise price per share of the outstanding options was
$.125. The board
43
<PAGE>
discontinued further issuances of stock options under the 1997 Plan in
June 1999 upon adoption of the 1999 Plan. Unless terminated sooner, the 1997
Plan will terminate automatically in December 2007. The 1997 Plan provides for
the discretionary grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) to employees and for
the grant of nonstatutory stock options to employees, directors, consultants and
independent contractors of RealMed or its affiliated and related companies.
The board or a committee of the board (as applicable, the Administrator)
administers the 1997 Plan. The Administrator has the power to determine the
terms of the options granted, including the exercise price of the options, the
number of shares subject to each option, the exercisability thereof, and the
form of consideration payable upon such exercise. In addition, the Administrator
has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 1997 Plan, provided that no
option previously granted under the 1997 Plan is adversely affected without the
optionee's consent.
The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the 1997
Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common shares on
date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options under the 1997
Plan is determined by the Administrator, but with respect to nonstatutory stock
options intended to qualify as "performance--based compensation" within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the exercise price must be at least equal
to the fair market value of the common shares on date of grant. The term of all
options granted under the 1997 Plan may not exceed ten years. Options generally
vest 25% in the first year and 1.5625% each month thereafter so that options are
fully vested after a five-year period from date of employment.
Options granted under the 1997 Plan are generally not transferable by the
optionee, and each option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee
only by the optionee. Options granted under the 1997 Plan must generally be
exercised within 90 days after the end of the optionee's status as an employee
within six months after such optionee's termination by disability or one year
after the optionee's death, but in no event later than the expiration of the
option's term.
The 1997 Plan provides that options and restricted stock shall immediately
vest in the event of certain changes in control that are not approved by a
majority of our board of directors, including: (1) an agreement by a third party
to purchase 50% of our voting stock; (2) a transaction which results in the
removal of the majority of the board; or (3) our shareholders approval of a
transaction which results in RealMed no longer being an independent entity. The
1997 Plan allows for RealMed to provide for accelerated vesting in other
circumstances.
In July 1999, we determined that the exercise price of incentive stock
options issued under the 1997 Plan was not at fair market value thus making
these options nonstatutory options. In November 1999, the board approved a plan
whereby participants in the 1997 Plan who had received options intended to
qualify as incentive stock options could forfeit their options under the 1997
Plan for an option to purchase a similar number of shares under the 1999 Plan at
an exercise price of $.896 (considered to be fair market value at date of grant)
and a grant date of September 30, 1999. Vesting of these shares under the 1999
Plan would remain the same as under the 1997 Plan. Any options not forfeited
would remain under the same terms and conditions of the 1997 Plan but would be
considered nonstatutory stock options.
THE REALMED CORPORATION 1999 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN. In
June 1999, the board adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 1999 Plan. We
reserved for issuance 10,000,000 shares under the 1999 Plan. As of February 29,
2000, options to purchase 5,636,766 shares were outstanding under the 1999 Plan.
The weighted average exercise price per share of the outstanding options was
$.994. Unless terminated sooner, the 1999 Plan will terminate automatically in
December 2009. The 1999 Plan provides for the discretionary grant of incentive
stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to employees and
for the grant of nonstatutory stock options
44
<PAGE>
to employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors of RealMed or
its affiliated and related companies.
The Administrator may administer the 1999 Plan. The Administrator has the
power to determine the terms of the options granted, including the exercise
price of the options, the number of shares subject to each option, the
exercisability thereof, and the form of consideration payable upon such
exercise. In addition, the Administrator has the authority to amend, suspend or
terminate the 1999 Plan, provided that no option previously granted under the
1999 Plan is adversely affected without the optionee's consent.
The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the 1999
Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common shares on
date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options under the 1999
Plan is determined by the Administrator, but with respect to nonstatutory stock
options intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the exercise price must be at least equal
to the fair market value of the common shares on date of grant. The term of all
options granted under the 1999 Plan might not exceed ten years. Options
generally vest either 25% each year so that options are fully vested after a
four-year period from date of grant or 20% each year so that options are fully
vested after a five-year period from date of grant.
Options granted under the 1999 Plan are generally not transferable by the
optionee. Options granted under the 1999 Plan must generally be exercised within
90 days after the end of the optionee's status as an employee or within six
months after such optionee's termination by disability or one year after the
optionee's death, but in no event later than the expiration of the option's
term.
The 1999 Plan provides that options and restricted stock shall immediately
vest in the event of certain changes in control that are not approved by a
majority of our board of directors, including: (1) an agreement by a third party
to purchase 50% of our voting stock; (2) a transaction which results in the
removal of the majority of the board; and (3) our shareholders approval of a
transaction which results in RealMed no longer being an independent entity.
THE REALMED CORPORATION 2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN. In
March, 2000, the board authorized the compensation committee to develop the 2000
Incentive Plan reserving for issuance 5,600,000 shares. We are seeking
shareholder approval of the 2000 Plan in April, 2000. Terms will be similar to
the 1999 Plan except the initial exercise price will be at the initial public
offering price and thereafter options will be granted at fair market value.
THE REALMED 401(K) SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN. All of our full time
employees are eligible to participate in the tax-qualified employee savings and
retirement plan (the 401(k) Plan). Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may
defer up to the Internal Revenue Service's annual contribution limit. The 401(k)
Plan permits us to make additional discretionary matching contributions on
behalf of all our employee participants in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is
intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, as amended, so that
contributions by employees or by us to the 401(k) Plan, and income earned on
plan contributions, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k)
Plan. Contributions by us, if any, will be deductible by us when made. The
trustee under the 401(k) Plan, at the discretion of each participant, invests
the assets of the 401(k) Plan in any number of investment options.

are entitled to draw against the line of credit so long as Robert J. Hicks as
Chief Executive Officer certifies that we are in compliance with regularly
updated business plans. If Mr. Hicks ceases to be chief executive officer of
RealMed, the line is still available, but it is subject to additional
verification procedures. Under the terms of this agreement, we are prohibited
from granting any lien on any of our assets other than purchase money security
interests granted by us. In the event Mr. Hicks ceases to be the Chief Executive
Officer, changes to the business plan are required to be approved by The CIT
Group, Inc. At any time, The CIT Group, Inc. has the right to apply the amount
owed to exercise a warrant for common shares at a price of $.896 per share. In
the event that The CIT Group, Inc. wishes to purchase more than is due under the
line, The CIT Group, Inc. may purchase up to an aggregate amount of
$17.5 million of our common shares at the $.896 per share by simply paying
RealMed in cash for the balance. We expect The CIT Group, Inc. to fully convert
its warrant immediately prior to this offering.
In January 2000, The CIT Group, Inc. provided the 2000 CIT Line of Credit, a
$10,000,000 line of credit at 15.0% interest. The line has a fee equal to the
greater of 0.5% of our market capitalization at the initial public offering date
or $1,000,000, which is payable in stock or cash at the option of The CIT
Group, Inc. The line is due upon the earlier of our initial public offering or
December 31, 2002. No funding has occurred to date through this line.
OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
RealMed and Eclipse America Corporation are related parties because an
officer and shareholder of RealMed is the owner of Eclipse America. In
January 1997, we purchased from Eclipse America, owned at the time by Mark A.
Morris and Robert B. Peterson, certain intellectual property, including
technology representing the core unit of the RealMed Network, for $1,250,000.
In June 1998, we paid approximately $650,000 to Eclipse America as a
recruiting fee for securing employment of certain Eclipse America employees.
Effective June 15, 1999, we entered into an agreement with Eclipse America
whereby transactions between the parties are limited to a monthly lease
obligation of $14,400, a sublease for office space, and compensation for
contracted services provided by employees of Eclipse America. The $16,000
equipment lease payment obligation terminates upon the earlier of March 31, 2003
or upon an initial public offering.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
We have 450,000,000 common shares and 50,000,000 preferred shares
authorized. The following summary of certain provisions of our capital stock
describes all material provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws. This summary, however, does not purport to be complete
and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part and by the provisions
of applicable law.
COMMON SHARES
As of December 31, 1999, there were 56,453,188 common shares outstanding, no
par value, assuming the conversion of $17.5 million under the 1999 CIT Line of
Credit into 19,531,250 common shares. Each outstanding common share is entitled
to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including
election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of
directors. The issued and outstanding common shares are, and the common shares
offered by this prospectus will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
upon payment for the shares. The holders of outstanding common shares are
entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefor at a time
and in amounts as the board may from time to time determine. See "Dividend
Policy." The common shares are not convertible and the holders thereof have no
preemptive or subscription rights to purchase any of our securities. Upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of RealMed, the holders of common shares
are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis our assets that are legally
available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities.
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION,
BYLAWS AND RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain
provisions that may deter an attempt to change or gain control of RealMed. As a
result, you may be deprived of opportunities to sell some or all of your common
shares at prices that represent a premium over the market prices. These
provisions include:
- the existence of blank check preferred stock;
- staggered terms for directors;
- restrictions on the ability to change the number of directors;
- restrictions on the ability to remove a director;
- fair price provisions; and
- supermajority voting requirements.
Our board has adopted a Rights Agreement, which is generally designed to
deter coercive takeover tactics and to encourage all persons interested in
potentially acquiring control of RealMed to negotiate with the board of
directors. Under the Rights Agreement, the board has declared a dividend
distribution of one right for each outstanding RealMed common share. A right
will attach to each common share issued. Each right entitles the holder to
purchase from RealMed one common share at a price of $ per share (subject
to adjustment to prevent dilution). Initially, the rights will not be
exercisable. The rights become exercisable 10 days following a public
announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (a
RealMed Acquiring Person) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of
the outstanding RealMed common shares (or a 10% acquiror who is determined by
our board to be an adverse person), or 10 days following the announcement of an
intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which
would result in any person or group becoming a RealMed Acquiring Person. Two of
our largest shareholders who already own more than 15% of our outstanding common
shares, The CIT Group, Inc. and GemPlus SA, are
50
<PAGE>
excluded from the definition of RealMed Acquiring Person under the Rights
Agreement. Therefore, transactions with those shareholders would not trigger the
exercisability of the rights. The RealMed Rights Agreement expires May , 2010.
INDIANA STATUTES
BUSINESS COMBINATION STATUTE. In the event any person acquires 10% of our
common shares, or becomes an "Interested Shareholder," then, for a period of
five years after such acquisition, Indiana law prohibits certain business
combinations between us and that shareholder, with certain exceptions. We can
enter into business combinations with that shareholder if:
- our board approves of the shareholder's acquisition of the shares before
the shareholder acquires the shares; or
- our board approves of the business combination.
After a five-year period, we are permitted to enter into only the following
three types of business combinations with that shareholder:
- a business combination approved by our board before the acquisitions of
common shares by the shareholder;
- a business combination approved by holders of a majority of the common
shares not owned by the shareholder; and
- a business combination in which all our shareholders receive a price for
their common shares at least equal to a formula price based on the highest
price per common share paid by the interested shareholder.
INDIANA CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITION STATUTE. Certain accretions of voting
power may result in an acquiring shareholder losing the right to vote the common
shares acquired. To avoid this loss of voting rights, a majority of the
disinterested common shareholders may approve the exercise of the vote. If
authorized by an appropriate provision of an Indiana corporation's articles of
incorporation or by-laws adopted prior to the time a person becomes an
interested shareholder, the person may be permitted to redeem the acquiring
shareholder's common shares. We have not adopted such redemption provisions.
These provisions of Indiana law discussed above do not apply with respect to
the acquisition of our convertible notes or the acquisition of common shares
upon conversion of the convertible notes.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
Equiserve Trust Company NA has been appointed as transfer agent and
registrar for our common shares.
LISTING
We are applying to have our common shares listed for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "RMED."

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of common shares, including
shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, in the public market
following this offering, the market price of our common shares could fall. These
sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related
securities in the future and at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of
common shares, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option in the concurrent underwritten offering and no exercise of outstanding
options. Of these shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely
tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act,
unless these shares are purchased by "affiliates" as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. This leaves shares eligible for sale
in the public market as follows:

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS
Each of our directors and officers and certain other shareholders of RealMed
have agreed with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, for a
period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, not to:
- offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right
or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any common shares of any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for common shares; or
- enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in
whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the
common shares, whether any such transaction described above is to be
settled by delivery of common stock or other securities, in cash or
otherwise.
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation may choose to release
some of these shares from such restrictions prior to the expiration of the 180-
to 360-day "lock-up" period, although it has no current intention of doing so.
RULE 144
Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of
this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned restricted common shares
for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner who is
not an affiliate, would be entitled to sell a number of the shares within any
three-month period equal to the greater of:
- 1% of the then outstanding shares of the common shares; or
- the average weekly reported volume of trading of the common shares on the
Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale.
52
<PAGE>
Immediately after the offering, 1% of our outstanding common shares would
equal approximately shares. Under Rule 144, restricted shares are subject
to manner of sale and notice requirements and requirements as to the
availability of current public information concerning RealMed.
RULE 144(K)
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate at
any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the
shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period
of any prior owner who is not an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares
without regard to the volume or other limitations of Rule 144 just described.
RULE 701
Immediately after this offering, there will be options to purchase
approximately 11,419,934 common shares outstanding, based on the number of
options outstanding as of February 29, 2000. Subject to the provisions of the
lock-up agreements described above, holders of these options may rely on the
resale provisions of Rule 701 under the Securities Act. Rule 701 permits
non-affiliates to sell their shares without having to comply with the volume,
holding period or other limitations of Rule 144 and permits affiliates to sell
their shares without having to comply with the holding period limitation of
Rule 144, in each case beginning 90 days after the consummation of this
offering. In addition, shortly after this offering, we intend to file a
registration statement on Form S-8 covering the 15,768,168 common shares
reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan, the 1999 Plan and the 2000 Plan.
Common shares registered under any registration statement will, subject to
Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to affiliates, be available for sale in
the open market, unless the shares are subject to vesting restrictions with us
or the lock-up agreements described above.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
After this offering, the holders of approximately 4.0 million common shares
will be entitled to demand that we register these shares under the Securities
Act. Under the terms of the agreements between us and the holders of these
shares, if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities
Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security holders
exercising registration rights, these holders are entitled to:
- notice of registration;
- include their common shares in the registration; and
- specified demand registration rights under which they may require us to
file a registration statement under the Securities Act at our expense to
register their common shares.
Further, some of the holders of these demand registration rights may require
us to file additional registration statements. All of the registration rights
are subject to conditions and limitations, including:
- the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares
included in the registration; and
- our right not to effect a requested registration within sixty days
following the effectiveness of a registration statement in connection with
a public offering of our securities for cash.
After this offering, the holders of approximately common shares may be
entitled to piggy-back registration rights. Generally, these shareholders have
the right, should we propose to register any of our common shares, to request
that we include their common shares in such registration, subject to an
underwriter's right to limit the number of shares included in an underwritten
primary offering.
53
<PAGE>

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
RealMed Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of RealMed Corporation (a
development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the related
statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
period from November 13, 1995 (date of inception) through December 31, 1999 and
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of RealMed Corporation (a
development stage enterprise) at December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the period from November 13, 1995 (date of
inception) through December 31, 1999 and for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

REALMED CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
RealMed Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in Indiana on
November 13, 1995. However, the Company did not begin operations until
January 1, 1997. The Company intends to provide a real-time claims resolution
network (the RealMed Network) that links providers, payers, and patients to
fully settle healthcare claims, allowing users to speed check-in, automatically
verify eligibility, verify deductible and co-payment status, adjudicate claims,
update records, confirm payment, and issue explanation of benefits expeditiously
at the point of care. At December 31, 1999, the Company is devoting
substantially all of its efforts to establishing this business.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company formed RealMed Holding Company
(RMHC), a wholly owned corporation. In addition, the Company and RMHC formed
RealMed, L.P. (L.P.) a limited partnership in which the Company is the general
partner and RMHC is the limited partner. On January 1, 2000, the Company
transferred all of its assets and a portion of its liabilities to L.P. at
historical cost.
The Company's financial statements have been presented on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. In 1997, 1998 and 1999, the
Company's operating activities have required a net use of cash totaling
$3.4 million, $5.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively. During these years,
sufficient capital in the form of debt or equity was available to fund net cash
needs from operations.
During 2000, the Company anticipates cash used in operating activities will
increase substantially with the planned rollout of the RealMed Network. However,
there are no material payments required on existing debt in 2000.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had $8.0 million available on its existing
line of credit. In January 2000, the Company entered into an additional line of
credit with a shareholder for up to $10.0 million subject to certain conditions
(see Note 12). On March 9, 2000, the Company consummated a $1.0 million sale of
its common shares (see Note 12).
The Company anticipates that this available capital will cover a majority of
its cash flow needs for 2000. However, the Company fully expects the need to
raise additional capital to meet its projected expenditures in 2000.
The Company is in the development stage and plans to continue to expand its
operations considerably in the year 2000 with no significant cash inflows from
operations. The Company plans to continue to finance its growth through
additional equity and debt placements. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise all funding necessary for operating activities in
2000. If the existing committed funds are not sufficient to cover the Company's
planned expenditures and the Company is unable to raise additional capital, then
the Company will reduce discretionary expenditures (such as salary and benefit
costs for planned hires, research and development expenditures, marketing
expenditures and capital expenditures, among others).

2. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation, including
amortization on capital leases, is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful life of the assets, generally ranging from three to seven
years.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The carrying value of the long-lived assets is periodically reviewed by
management. In the event that a condition is identified which may indicate an
impairment exists, an assessment is performed using a variety of methodologies
including cash flow analysis and estimates of sales proceeds. If this review
indicates that the carrying value may be impaired then the impaired amount will
be written off.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In 1997, the Company entered into a software licensing agreement and
services contract to provide administrative and data processing services for a
medical savings account provider. During 1997, the Company sold this future
revenue stream and received the full amount of the contract, less a discount.
The Company recognized revenue, net of the related discount, over the life of
the contract as it had a continuing responsibility to meet the servicing
requirements of the contract. The contract terminated effective December 31,
1999.
PAYER INTEGRATION COSTS
Payer integration costs are composed primarily of fees to external
consultants and contractors engaged by the Company to help integrate the RealMed
Network with payers' legacy systems. Payer integration costs are expensed as
incurred because the agreements are terminable by the payer at any time without
penalty.
STOCK OPTIONS
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, (FAS 123) the Company accounts for
stock option grants to employees and
F-8

REALMED CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion
No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Stock option grants to
non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with
FAS 123.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5
(SOP 98-5), REPORTING ON THE COSTS OF STARTUP ACTIVITIES, which is required to
be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-5 requires
all start-up costs to be expensed when incurred. The Company has expensed all
start-up costs as incurred, therefore adoption of SOP 98-5 has had no material
impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (SFAS 130).
SFAS 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and the display of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the same as net
income as there are no applicable adjustments reported in shareholders' equity
(deficit).
Effective on January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND
RELATED INFORMATION (SFAS 131). SFAS 131 requires public business enterprises to
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not have a
significant effect on the disclosure of segment information as the Company
continues to consider its business activities as a single segment.
Other recently issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards up
through and including the most recently issued SFAS 137, are not applicable to
the Company.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company and Eclipse America Corporation are related parties as an
officer and shareholder of the Company is the sole shareholder of Eclipse
America. The existence of substantial related party activities could influence
operating results and financial position of the Company from those that would
have been obtained if the entities were autonomous.
In 1997, the Company purchased certain intellectual property, including
technology representing the core unit of the RealMed System, from Eclipse
America for $1,250,000. This purchase included all existing related revenue
streams and all copyrights. The value of this asset was fully amortized at
December 31, 1999.
During 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Company shared office space and other
expenses with Eclipse America. The Company reimbursed Eclipse America for its
proportionate share of these costs. Such costs include personnel, rent,
utilities, insurance, supplies and any other costs that are utilized. The
Company reimbursed Eclipse America based upon square footage of space utilized
and a ratio of full-time equivalent personnel. During 1997, 1998, and 1999, the
Company's costs related to these arrangements were $840,783, $1,565,152 and
$502,152, respectively.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
In June 1998, the Company paid approximately $650,000 to Eclipse America as
a recruiting fee for securing employment of certain Eclipse America employees.
In June 1999, the Company and Eclipse America entered into an agreement
whereby transactions between parties are limited to a lease obligation (see
Note 7), sublease for office space, and compensation for contracted services
provided by employees of Eclipse America.
In June 1999, the Company contracted with a shareholder for the services of
certain individuals to fill senior management roles including the company's
Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President--Corporate Business Development,
and Chief Administrative Officer positions. The shareholder is reimbursed
monthly for actual compensation expenses of these individuals related to their
service to the Company. In November 1999, the Company also filled the Senior
Vice President--General Counsel and Vice President of Human Resources positions
through this arrangement. The Company's costs incurred with respect to these
arrangements were $354,234 in 1999.
4. INVENTORY
In 1998, the Company acquired smart card readers (Readers) from a
shareholder. These Readers were acquired to sell or lease to healthcare
providers in connection with utilizing the RealMed Network. As the Company did
not anticipate beginning to sell the inventory until after December 31, 1999,
the inventory was classified as non-current at December 31, 1998. In 1999, the
Company changed its technology strategy and determined that the Readers would
not be used in the RealMed Network. Accordingly, the Company adjusted this
inventory to net realizable value of zero.
5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Property and equipment is comprised of the following at December 31,

</TABLE>
Intangible assets consist of the intellectual property and technology
acquired from Eclipse America. Although this technology did not represent its
ultimate intended use, it did provide an alternative function that generated
some revenue for the Company. Therefore, these costs were capitalized and
amortized over their estimated useful life of three years. Accumulated
amortization was $833,334 and $1,250,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. At December 31, 1999, intangible assets were fully amortized.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company has a $4,285,798 secured note payable with a shareholder which
was entered into in connection with the purchase of the smart card reader
inventory. The note is secured by the smart card reader inventory. The note
bears interest at 12.0% per annum and provides for four quarterly interest only
payments of $144,003 commencing September 15, 2000 and five quarterly principal
and interest payments of $207,663 commencing September 15, 2001, with the
balance due on December 15, 2002.
The subordinated line of credit (Subordinated Note) is between the Company
and one of its shareholders. The maximum borrowing under the Subordinated Note
is $17,500,000 and $9,470,924 was outstanding at December 31, 1999. In
connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Note, the Company granted the
lender conversion rights that in substance are detachable warrants (Warrants)
(see Note 9). The Warrants were valued at $2,343,750 and an equivalent discount
was recorded as a reduction to the Subordinated Note. The discount is being
accreted over the Subordinated Note's four year term. Interest expense includes
$341,797 related to this accretion for 1999. The note provides for interest at
the rate of 8.0% per annum and for full payment of principal and interest upon
the earlier of demand of the lender following the Company's initial public
offering or June 15, 2003. The effective rate considering the 8.0% stated rate
and the warrant accretion approximates 15.0%. The Subordinated Note may be
prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty; however, such
prepayment does not in any way affect the lender's ability to exercise its full
conversion option. The Company had $8,029,076 available under the line of credit
at December 31, 1999. Available borrowings are reduced by amounts converted. No
amounts were converted at December 31, 1999.
Notes payable to shareholders at December 31, 1999 includes $150,000 which
bears interest at 4.0% per annum and is payable on demand. The remaining portion
of notes payable to shareholders represents a $19,000 noninterest-bearing
advance which is also payable on demand.
The Company paid none, $23,386 and $48,391 of interest expense in years
ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
7. LEASES
In June 1999, the Company leased certain furniture and fixtures and other
equipment from Eclipse America (the Eclipse lease). The Eclipse lease requires
monthly payments of $16,000 until the earlier of an initial public offering or
March 31, 2003. Included in the monthly lease payment is $9,215 treated as a
capital lease, and $6,785, which is treated as an operating lease. In the event
of an initial public offering, the Company's remaining capital and operating
lease obligations terminate and the leased items become the property of the
Company. At December 31, 1999, property and equipment includes $259,240 for
amounts capitalized, net of accumulated depreciation of $91,590.
In November 1999, the Company acquired certain furniture and fixtures from a
shareholder. The Company made an initial payment of $104,649 with the remaining
amount of $313,946 to be paid under a capital lease with an option to purchase
for a nominal amount at the end of the lease term. At December 31, 1999,
$413,736 net of accumulated depreciation of $4,859 was included in property and
equipment. Monthly payments under the capital lease are $8,808 from
December 1999 through May 31, 2003.

In August 1999, the Company entered into an operating lease for its primary
office space commencing November 1, 1999. In November 1999, this lease was
amended to include additional office space that the Company expects to occupy
beginning April 1, 2000. The monthly lease payments for the original space are
$27,679 commencing on November 1, 1999. Monthly lease payments of $21,884 for
the additional office space commence on the expected occupation date. The
amended lease terminates on October 31, 2009 and provides for lease payment
increases beginning in November 2006 based on a published price index. In
addition, the Company leases office equipment under operating leases with
varying terms.
The Company also leases office space under an operating sublease with
Eclipse America, which expires April 2000. Monthly payments under the sublease
are $14,400.
The following table presents the future minimum lease payments under
operating leases:

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company terminated its S corporation status on August 21, 1997. There
was no material impact on the financial statements as the Company placed a full
valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets on the S corporation termination
date. The valuation allowance as of the S corporation termination date was not
material.

8. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
available of approximately $22,000,000 to offset future federal taxable income.
The carryforward will begin to expire in 2018. Due to the uncertainty of the
realization of the benefits of its favorable tax attributes in the future, the
Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as
of December 31, 1998 and 1999.
Significant components of the Company's net deferred taxes at December 31
are as follows:

9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
STOCK SPLIT
The Company declared a 4 for 1 stock split effective May 1, 1998.
Accordingly, all references in the financial statements related to share
amounts, including information concerning stock option plans, have been adjusted
retroactively to reflect the stock split.
EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
In 1998, the Company awarded certain officers 1,321,532 unrestricted shares
for employment services. The shares were deemed to have a value of $964,718 at
the date of the award and were expensed upon issuance.
In 1999, the Company issued 35,539 shares to a consultant in exchange for
services received. The shares were deemed to have a value of $37,671 and were
expensed upon issuance. The Company also issued 1,375,000 shares to a
shareholder as a loan commitment fee. These shares were deemed to have a value
of $1,292,500, which was expensed as interest upon issuance. These amounts are
reflected as issuances of stock in the Statements of Shareholders' Equity
(Deficit).
Certain debt of the Company of $3,481,651, including $61,651 of accrued
interest was converted to common shares in 1999. The accrued interest is
reflected as stock based expense in the Statements of Cash Flows.

RESTRICTED SHARES
In August 1999, the Company issued 375,000 restricted shares to certain
officers with a fair market value of $336,000. In November 1999, the Company
issued 150,000 restricted shares to certain directors of the Company at a fair
market value of $225,000. All restricted share grants were recorded at a fair
market value based on the price of the Company's stock at the date of issuance
and vest ratably over a three-year period. The weighted average fair value of
restricted share grants made during 1999 was $1.069 per share. The Company is
amortizing the issuance values to compensation expense over the vesting period.
Expense recognized during 1999 was $68,500.
SHAREHOLDER NOTES RECEIVABLES
In connection with its issuance of restricted stock, the Company issued
notes receivable to certain key employees. The notes are collateralized by the
underlying stock and are due December 31, 2004. The notes bear interest at a
rate of 6.2% per annum, payable at maturity.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has two employee stock option plans, the 1997 Employee Stock
Option and Incentive Plan (1997 Plan) and the 1999 Employee Stock Option and
Incentive Plan (1999 Plan) (collectively, the Plans) for which 12,000,000 and
10,000,000 common shares are authorized and reserved, respectively. The
Company's Board of Directors has eliminated the issuance of any further options
under the 1997 Plan. The Plans are available to key employees, officers,
directors and certain nonemployee affiliates as determined by the Board of
Directors. Options issued under the 1997 Plan generally vest 25% after one year
and then 1.5625% each month thereafter such that the options are 100% vested at
the end of five years. The 1999 Plan options vest over either a four or five
year period. All option grants have a ten-year life.
Options issued under the Company's 1997 Plan have an exercise price of $.125
per share. The Company has determined that the fair value of these shares at
various grant dates ranged from $.73 to $.94 per share. The Company expenses the
difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the shares of
employee options over the vesting period. The exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options issued under the 1999 Plan equaled the estimated fair
market value of the stock on the dates of grant, no compensation expense has
been recognized. The fair value of options issued to non-employees was expensed
in full on the date of grant. Effective July 1, 1999, all employees elected to
forfeit their existing options under the 1997 Plan and receive a like amount of
options under the 1999 Plan at an exercise price of $.896 per share (the
estimated fair value at July 1, 1999) with vesting provisions comparable to that
of the 1997 Plan.

Pro forma information regarding net income is required by FAS 123, which
also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted
for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant
using the minimum value pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.0%, a dividend yield of 0%, and a
weighted average expected life of 7.5 years. Because the Company's employee
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
employee stock options.

Because the Company's options vest over a 5-year period, the pro forma

WARRANTS
On June 15, 1999 in connection with the issuance of the $17.5 million
Subordinated Note, the Company issued conversion rights which in substance are
Warrants for 19,531,250 common shares at an exercise price of $.896 per share.
The Warrants had a fair value of $2,343,750, vested immediately, and convert
upon the option of the holder anytime in increments of $3.5 million on or prior
to June 15, 2005. The holder is able to utilize amounts the Company has
outstanding under the Subordinated Note to offset amounts required to exercise
the Warrants.
10. 401(K) PLAN
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company entered into a defined contribution
(401(k) Plan). Under the 401(k) Plan, there is no minimum participation age,
eligibility is immediate, and the Company will match 50% of employees'
contributions up to 6% of their salary.
11. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are presented in conformity with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE,
(FAS 128) from inception and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999.
Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of
outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares.
The Company's calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential
common shares, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares are
composed of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2000, the Company entered into an additional line of credit with
a shareholder for $10,000,000. The line of credit requires the Company to obtain
signed letters of understanding from qualified payers in order for funds to be
made available. For each signed letter of understanding from a qualified payer,
$2,500,000 is made available to the Company. At March 15, 2000 the Company had
obtained the required letters of understanding with qualified payers to fully
draw upon the $10,000,000 available under this line of credit. The Company must
meet certain conditions to draw on the line of
F-16
<PAGE>
REALMED CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
credit. The line bears an interest rate of 15.0% payable quarterly, an unused
commitment fee of 2.0% and a fee payable upon completion of an initial public
offering of the Company's common shares at 0.5% of the Company's total valuation
payable in cash or stock at the lender's option. This line is due upon the
earlier of the Company's initial public offering or December 31, 2002.
On February 28, 2000 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws to contain provisions that may deter an attempt to change or gain control
of the Company. These provisions include:
- the existence of blank check preferred stock;
- staggered terms for directors;
- restrictions on the ability to change the number of directors;
- restrictions on the ability to remove a director;
- fair price provisions; and
- supermajority voting requirements.
The Board adopted a Rights Agreement, which is generally designed to deter
coercive takeover tactics and to encourage all persons interested in potentially
acquiring control of the Company to negotiate with the board of directors. Under
the Rights Agreement, the board has declared a dividend distribution of one
right for each outstanding common share. A right will attach to each common
share issued. Each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one
common share at a determined price per share (subject to adjustment to prevent
dilution). Initially, the rights will not be exercisable. The rights become
exercisable 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of
affiliated or associated persons (a RealMed Acquiring Person) has acquired
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares (or a 10%
acquiror who is determined by the board to be an adverse person), or 10 days
following the announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange
offer the consummation of which would result in any person or group becoming a
RealMed Acquiring Person. Two of the Company's largest shareholders who already
own greater than 15% of outstanding shares, are excluded from the definition of
RealMed Acquiring Person under the Rights Agreement. Therefore, transactions
with those shareholders would not trigger the exercisability of the Rights. The
Rights Agreement expires May 2010.
In March 2000 the Company authorized 50,000,000 preferred shares and
increased its authorized common shares to 450,000,000.
On March 9, 2000 the Company received $1,000,000 from the issuance of
307,690 shares at $3.25 per share.
13. SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENTS--UNAUDITED
From March 16, 2000 to April 2000, the Company completed the sale of
additional common shares for approximately $6,500,000.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our Articles and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify any individual who is
or was a director or officer of RealMed, or is or was serving at our request as
a director, officer, partner or trustee of another foreign or domestic
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise whether or not for profit, against liability and expenses, including
attorneys fees, incurred by him in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and whether formal or
informal, in which he is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of
being or having been in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
except (i) in the case of any action, suit, or proceeding terminated by
judgment, order, or conviction, in relation to matters as to which he is
adjudged to have breached or failed to perform the duties of his office and the
breach or failure to perform constituted willful misconduct or recklessness; and
(ii) in any other situation, in relation to matters as to which it is found by a
majority of a committee composed of all directors not involved in the matter in
controversy (whether or not a quorum) that the person breached or failed to
perform the duties of his office and the breach or failure to perform
constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. We pay for or reimburse
reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any action,
suit, or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of
(i) a written affirmation of the director's or officer's good faith belief that
such director or officer has met the standard of conduct prescribed by Indiana
law; and (ii) an undertaking of the director or officer to repay the amount paid
by us if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not
entitled to indemnification by us.
Our Articles and Bylaws provide that the indemnification rights described
above are in addition any other indemnification rights a person may have by law.
Section 23-1-37 et seq. of the Indiana Business Corporations Act (the "Act")
provides for "mandatory indemnification," unless limited by the articles, by a
corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which the director was a party by reason of the director being or having been a
II-1
<PAGE>
director of the corporation. Section 23-1-37-10 of the Act states that a
corporation may, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, reimburse
reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding if the
director furnishes the corporation with a written affirmation of the director's
good faith belief that the director acted in good faith and reasonably believed
the actions were in the best interest of the corporation if the proceeding is a
civil proceeding. If the proceeding is criminal, the director must furnish a
written affirmation that the director had reasonable cause to believe he or she
was acting lawfully or the director or officer had no reason to believe the
action was unlawful. The director will repay the advance if it is ultimately
determined that such director did not meet the standard of conduct required by
the Act and that those making the decision to reimburse the director determine
that the facts then known would not preclude indemnification under the Act.
The Act permits a corporation to grant indemnification rights in addition to
those provided by statute, limited only by the fiduciary duties of the directors
approving the indemnification and public policies of the State of Indiana.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as require by
the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described under Item 17, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy expressed in the Securities Act,
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

__________ Shares
PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT
--------------------------
Common Stock
____________, 2000
RealMed Corporation
510 E. 96th Street, Suite 400
Indianapolis, Indiana 46240
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This placement agency agreement (the "AGREEMENT") outlines the terms upon
which Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation (the "PLACEMENT
AGENT") is engaged by RealMed Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the
"COMPANY"), to act as its financial advisor and exclusive placement agent in
connection with the offering by the Company (the "CONCURRENT OFFERING") of up to
an aggregate of _________ shares (the "CONCURRENT SHARES") of the Company's
common stock, no par value (the "COMMON SHARES"), on a reasonable best efforts
basis on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Concurrent Offering of
Concurrent Shares is registered on the registration statement on Form S-1
(Registration No. 333-______) (as such registration statement may be amended
from time to time, the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "ACT"), filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION"). The Company will also enter into an
underwriting agreement with the Placement Agent and certain underwriters, as
representatives of the several underwriters to be named in Schedule I thereto
(collectively, the "UNDERWRITERS"), relating to the offering of Common Shares by
the Underwriters (the "INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING" and, together with the
Concurrent Offering, the "OFFERINGS"). To the extent designated herein, portions
of the underwriting agreement relating to the Initial Public Offering, in the
form filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1
(Registration No. 333-______) and attached hereto as Annex A (as such
underwriting agreement may be amended from time to time with the Placement
Agent's consent, the "UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT"), shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and form a part hereof. Notwithstanding
anything else herein to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that
the closing of the Concurrent Offering is conditioned on the occurrence of the
closing of the Initial Public Offering. All capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.
SECTION 1. SERVICES
(a) The Company hereby appoints the Placement Agent as the Company's
exclusive placement agent in connection with the Concurrent Offering and,
subject to the terms and conditions contained or incorporated by reference
herein, the Placement Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
<PAGE>
(b) The Placement Agent agrees to provide advisory services to the Company
as to the structure of the Concurrent Offering and to act as the Company's
placement agent in all states of the United States and in the District of
Columbia. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Placement Agent does not
assume any additional duties or responsibilities with respect to the Concurrent
Offering and no other duties shall be implied from this Agreement. The Company
acknowledges that purchasers of the Concurrent Offering are not, and will not be
treated as, "customers" of the Placement Agent for purposes of the rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") and that the
Placement Agent shall have no responsibility for the performance or
non-performance of any purchaser in the Concurrent Offering or for the
performance or non-performance of the Company.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENT
(a) The Company hereby makes to the Placement Agent the agreement,
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5 and 6 of the Underwriting
Agreement.
(b) The Company agrees with the Placement Agent:
(i) to provide the Placement Agent with such copies of the
Registration Statement, Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus and such other
documents and instruments as the Placement Agent may reasonably request; and
(ii) to prohibit directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Company from soliciting offers to purchase the Concurrent Shares and to prevent
the distribution of any document, instrument or other materials relating to the
Concurrent Offering, in each case, without the prior approval of the Placement
Agent, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) The Company further agrees with the Placement Agent that the Company
will pay all costs, expenses, fees and taxes incident to (i) the preparation,
printing, filing and distribution under the Act of the Registration Statement
(including financial statements and exhibits), of each preliminary prospectus
and all amendments and supplements to any of them prior to or during the period
specified in Section 5 of the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) the printing and
delivery of the Prospectus and all amendments or supplements to it during the
period specified in Section 5 of the Underwriting Agreement, (iii) the printing
and delivery of this Agreement, the Blue Sky Memoranda and all other agreements,
memoranda, correspondence and other documents printed and delivered in
connection with the offering of the Concurrent Shares (including in each case
any disbursements of counsel for the Placement Agent relating to such printing
and delivery), (iv) the registration or qualification of the Concurrent Shares
for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the several states
(including in each case the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Placement
Agent relating to such registration or qualification and memoranda relating
thereto), (v) filings and clearance with the NASD in connection with the
Concurrent Offering, (vi) the listing of the Concurrent Shares on the Nasdaq
National Market, (vii) furnishing such copies of the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto as may be requested for
use in connection with the offering or sale of the Concurrent Shares, and (viii)
all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section.
2
<PAGE>
(d) The obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder and the closing of
the sale of the Concurrent Shares in the Concurrent Offering (the "CONCURRENT
TIME OF DELIVERY") shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement. Furthermore, (i) the
Concurrent Time of Delivery shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the
closing of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) the obligations of the Placement
Agent hereunder shall be conditioned upon resolution to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Placement Agent of all legal and regulatory issues related
to the Concurrent Offering. For purposes of this Section 2(d), all references to
"Underwriters" and "Firm Shares" in the introductory paragraph of Section 8 of
the Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Placement Agent and
the Concurrent Shares, respectively. Also for purposes of this Section 2(d), (i)
the opinions of (A) Sommer & Barnard and (B) Winston & Strawn, (ii) the letter
or letters of Ernst & Young LLP and (iii) the certificates of officers of the
Company (provided for in Section 8(c) of the Underwriting Agreement), shall each
also be addressed and furnished to the Placement Agent at the Concurrent Time of
Delivery and all references in Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement
"satisfactory to you" and "in your judgment" or similar language shall be deemed
to refer to a determination by the Placement Agent.
SECTION 3. FEES
As compensation for its services under this Agreement, the Placement Agent
will receive at the Concurrent Time of Delivery a fee (the "PLACEMENT FEE") from
the Company of ___% of the amount equal to (x) the initial public offering price
multiplied by (y) the number of Concurrent Shares sold in the Concurrent
Offering, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account or
accounts designated by the Placement Agent. Payment of such Placement Fee shall
be a condition of the Concurrent Time of Delivery. In the event the Concurrent
Offering is terminated by the Placement Agent because of any failure or refusal
on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the
conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Placement
Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of
counsel) reasonably incurred by them.
SECTION 4. INDEMNIFICATION
The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its
affiliates and its parent and its affiliates, and the respective directors,
officers, agents and employees of the Placement Agent, its affiliates and its
parent and its affiliates (the Placement Agent and each such entity or person,
an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") from and against any losses, claims, damages,
judgments, assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively,
"LIABILITIES"), and will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all fees and
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively,
"EXPENSES") as they are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or
defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation, whether or not in
connection with pending or threatened litigation and whether or not any
Indemnified Person is a party (collectively, "ACTIONS"), (i) caused by, or
arising out of or in connection with, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (including any amendments thereof and
supplements thereto) or by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than untrue
statements or alleged untrue statements in, or omissions
3
<PAGE>
or alleged omissions from, information relating to an Indemnified Person
furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person expressly for
use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus)
or (ii) otherwise arising out of or in connection with advice or services
rendered or to be rendered or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in
connection with any such advice, services or transactions; provided that, in the
case of clause (ii) only, the Company will not be responsible for any
Liabilities or Expenses of any Indemnified Person that are determined by a
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject to
appeal or further review to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any of the advice, actions,
inactions or services referred to above. The Company also agrees to reimburse
each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with
enforcing such Indemnified Person's rights under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its rights under this Section 4).
Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against
such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this
Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing;
provided that failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company
from any liability which the Company may have on account of this indemnity or
otherwise, except to the extent the Company shall have been materially
prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall, if requested by the Placement
Agent, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent. Any Indemnified Person shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Indemnified Person, unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly
to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such
Action (including any impleaded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the
Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from
or in addition to those available to the Company; provided that the Company
shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of
more than one firm of separate counsel in connection with any Action in the same
jurisdiction, in addition to any local counsel. The Company shall not be liable
for any settlement of any Action effected without its written consent (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Company will not, without
prior written consent of the Placement Agent, settle, compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or
threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto)
unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising
out of such Action.
In the event that the foregoing indemnity is judicially determined to be
unavailable to an Indemnified Person (other than in accordance with the terms
hereof), the Company shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or
payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect (i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the
Placement Agent, on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this
Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause
is not permitted by the applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of the Company, on the one had, and the Placement Agent, on
the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or
Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
4
<PAGE>
provided that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount
necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not
liable for any Liabilities and Expenses in excess of the amount of fees actually
received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this
paragraph, the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the
Placement Agent, on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this
Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value
paid or contemplated to be paid to or received or contemplated to be received by
the Company, in the transactions or transactions that are within the scope of
this Agreement, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to (b)
the fees paid or to be paid to the Placement Agent under this Agreement.
The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability
(whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company
for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any
Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any
such advice, services or transactions except for Liabilities (and related
Expenses) of the Company that are determined by a judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject to appeal or further review to
have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or services.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Section 4
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid,
void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated.
The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company
set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement and shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the
completion of any Indemnified Person's services under or in connection with,
this Agreement.
SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) The Company represents and warrants that no person or organization
other than the Placement Agent is, as a result of any action by the Company,
entitled to compensation for services as a finder, broker, placement agent or
investment banker in connection with the Concurrent Offering.
(b) This Agreement shall be deemed to be effective as of the date hereof
and the term of this engagement shall be from the date hereof until the earlier
of (i) termination of the Concurrent Offering, and (ii) the completion of the
Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company violates
any of its covenants and agreements contained herein or if any of the conditions
set forth in Section 4 are not satisfied, the Placement Agent shall have the
right to terminate its obligations hereunder upon prior notice to the Company.
In the event of any termination of this Agreement or if for any reason the
Concurrent Offering is terminated, the
5
<PAGE>
Company shall be responsible for (i) the reimbursement of all fees,
disbursements, costs and expenses, as provided in Section 2(c), and (ii) its
obligations arising under Section 4.
(c) This Agreement shall not give rise to any express or implied
commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any Common Shares of the Company.
(d) The Company agrees that the Placement Agent shall have the right to
advertise its participation in the Concurrent Offering in "tombstone" or other
appropriate financial advertisements in newspapers, magazines, trade periodicals
or other publications. The Placement Agent agrees that such tombstone or other
advertisements shall not be published without the prior approval of the Company,
provided that such approval is not unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall in no way offset the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the state of New York. The terms and provisions of this
Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Company and the Placement Agent and
the other indemnified parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs
and personal representatives, and no other person shall acquire or have any
right by virtue of this letter.
(f) All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Placement Agent shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex
or facsimile transmission to: (i) in the case of the Placement Agent, to
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, 277 Park Avenue, New York,
New York 10172, Attention: Syndicate Department; and (ii) in the case of the
Company, to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement,
Attention: Chairman. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall
take effect upon receipt thereof.
(g) This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties
hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

Statement") which covers the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of
$5,000,000 in aggregate offering price of RealMed's common shares, no par
value (the "Registered Shares").
We have examined such records and documents, and made such
investigations of law and fact as we have deemed necessary in the
circumstances. The documents we have examined include, without limitation,
the form of Placement Agency Agreement between RealMed and Donaldson Lufkin
and Jenrette referenced in the Registration Statement (the "Placement Agency
Agreement").
Based on the examination, investigation and assumption described above,
it is our opinion that, when paid for by the purchaser thereof issued and
delivered by RealMed in accordance with the proposed Placement Agency
Agreement, the Registered Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of our name under the caption "LEGAL MATTERS" in
the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and to the filing of
this opinion as Exhibit 5.01 to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
SOMMER & BARNARD, PC
