ENVOY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1998
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ENVOY
Corporation (the "Company" or "ENVOY") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1998.
As more fully discussed in Note C, on February 27, 1998, the Company
completed business combinations with Professional Office Services, Inc. ("POS"),
XpiData, Inc. ("XpiData") and Automated Revenue Management, Inc. ("ARM")
(collectively referred to as the "ExpressBill Companies"). These transactions
have been accounted for as poolings of interests and the Company's historical
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and
results of operations of the ExpressBill Companies.
These financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
accompanying notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997, as amended by Form 10-K/A No. 1 on November 20,
1998.

<PAGE> 7
B. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The management of the Company and the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") have had discussions with respect to the
methods used to value acquired in-process technology recorded and written off at
the date of acquisition. As a result of these discussions, the Company has
modified the methods used to value acquired in-process technology in connection
with the Company's 1996 acquisition of National Electronic Information
Corporation ("NEIC") and 1997 acquisitions of Healthcare Data Interchange
Corporation ("HDIC") and Diverse Software Solutions ("DSS"). Initial
calculations of value of the acquired in-process technology were based on the
cost required to complete each project, the after-tax cash flows attributable to
each project, and the selection of an appropriate rate of return to reflect the
risk associated with the stage of completion of each project. Revised
calculations of the value of the acquired in-process technology are based on
adjusted after-tax cash flows that give explicit consideration to the Staff's
views on in-process research and development as set forth in its September 15,
1998 letter to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the
Staff's comments for the Company to consider (i) the stage of completion of the
in-process technology at the dates of acquisition, (ii) contributions of the
Company's own distinct and unique proprietary advantages, and (iii) the
estimated total project costs of the in-process research and development in
arriving at the valuation amount. As a result of this modification, the Company
has decreased the amount of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-process
technology in the NEIC acquisition from $30 million to $8 million, in the HDIC
acquisition from $35 million to $6 million, and in the DSS acquisition from $3
million to $600,000. As a result, the Company increased other intangibles by $5
million (for a customer contract) and goodwill by $48.4 million.
The effects of the restatement resulted in the following impact on the
Company's previously reported results of operations for the first quarters of
1998 and 1997 (in thousands).

C. POOLING WITH EXPRESSBILL COMPANIES
On February 27, 1998, the Company completed business combinations with
the three companies operating the ExpressBill patient statement processing and
printing services businesses, for an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of ENVOY
Common Stock. Shareholders of XpiData, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, received
1,365,000 shares and shareholders of POS and its affiliated company, ARM, both
of which are based in Toledo, Ohio, received an aggregate of 2,135,000 shares.
The ExpressBill patient statement services include electronic data transmission
and formatting, statement printing and mailing services for health care
providers and practice management system vendors. These transactions have been
accounted for as poolings of interests. Accordingly, the Company's historical
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and
results of operations of the ExpressBill Companies. A reconciliation of revenues
and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1997, restated to reflect the
modifications referred to in Note B above, appears below:

E. EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards
for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. FASB Statement 130 is effective for
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Comprehensive
income encompasses all changes in shareholders' equity (except those arising
from transactions with owners) and includes net income, net unrealized capital
gains or losses on available for sale securities and foreign currency
translation adjustments. Adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material
impact on the Company's results of operations, as comprehensive income for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 was the same as net income for the Company.
F. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 6, 1998, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Synergy Health Care, Inc. ("Synergy"), which provides health
care information products and services to participants in the health care
market, for $10,200,000 in cash. This acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, applying the provisions of APB Opinion No. 16,
and, as a result, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities of Synergy at
their estimated fair values with the excess of the purchase price over these
amounts being recorded as goodwill. Pro forma financial information for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 will not be presented because the results of
operations of Synergy are not material to those of the Company. Synergy's
products and services include health care data warehousing and analysis,
performance tracking, patient studies and disease management support.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Company's consolidated financial
statements, including the notes thereto, included herein.
Except for historical information contained herein, this report
contains forward-looking statements as defined in Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are subject to
various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These risks
and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 (the "Form 10-K"), as
amended by Form 10-K/A No. 1 filed November 20, 1998 (the "Form 10-K/A"), and
the other documents and periodic reports filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). These forward-looking
statements generally can be identified as such because the content of the
statements usually will contain such words as the Company or management
"believes," "anticipates," "expects," "hopes," and words of similar import.
Similarly, statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives,
goals or strategies are forward-looking statements.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT
On May 6, 1998, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Synergy Health Care, Inc. ("Synergy"), which provides health
care information products and services to participants in the
10
<PAGE> 11
health care market, for $10,200,000 in cash. This acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting, applying the provisions of APB Opinion
No. 16, and, as a result, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities of
Synergy at their estimated fair values with the excess of the purchase price
over these amounts being recorded as goodwill. Synergy's products and services
include health care data warehousing and analysis, performance tracking, patient
studies and disease management support.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a leading provider of EDI and transaction processing
services to participants in the health care market, including pharmacies,
physicians, hospitals, dentists, billing services, commercial insurance
companies, managed care organizations, state and federal government agencies and
others.
On February 27, 1998, the Company completed business combinations with
the ExpressBill Companies pursuant to separate agreements and plans of merger
for an aggregate of 3.5 million shares of Common Stock. These combinations have
been accounted for as poolings of interests, and the historical financial
statements of the Company for all periods have been restated to include the
accounts and results of operations of the ExpressBill Companies.
The Company also has made several acquisitions since the beginning of
1996, including the acquisitions of National Electronic Information Corporation
("NEIC") and several other businesses in 1996 (collectively, the "1996 Acquired
Businesses") and Healthcare Data Interchange Corporation ("HDIC") and Diverse
Software Solutions, Inc. ("DSS") in 1997 (collectively, the "1997 Acquired
Businesses"). The 1996 Acquired Businesses and 1997 Acquired Businesses are
sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Acquired Businesses." These
acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, as
a result, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities of the Acquired
Businesses at their estimated fair values, with the excess of the purchase price
over these amounts being recorded as goodwill. In connection with the allocation
of purchase price for these Acquired Businesses, valuations of all identified
intangible assets of these Acquired Businesses were made. The intangible assets
of the Acquired Businesses included in-process technology projects, among other
assets, which were related to research and development that had not reached
technological feasibility and for which there was no alternative future use.
Pursuant to applicable accounting pronouncements, the amounts of the purchase
price allocated to these projects were expensed. In previously issued financial
statements, the Company recorded write-offs for acquired in-process technology
of $30.7 million in 1996 and $38.0 million in 1997 in connection with certain of
the Acquired Businesses, including NEIC, DSS and HDIC. After discussions with
the Staff of the Commission, the Company has reduced the amount of the
write-offs for acquired in-process technology to $8.7 million in 1996 and $6.6
million in 1997. These reductions have been reallocated to goodwill and to other
intangible assets and the Company's consolidated financial statements have been
restated to reflect such adjustments as described herein and in Note 2 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Form 10-K/A. See also
"--Acquired In-Process Technology." The financial statements for all periods
reflect the operations of the Acquired Businesses for the periods after their
respective dates of acquisition.
The Company's revenues principally have been derived from EDI and
transaction processing services to the health care market which generally are
paid for by the health care providers or third-party payors. Revenues generally
are earned on a per transaction basis. In addition, total revenues include
non-transaction based revenues. These revenues include maintenance, licensing
and support activities, as well as the sale of
11
<PAGE> 12
ancillary software and hardware products and, in the case of the ExpressBill
Companies, certain printing services.
The Company's revenues generally are comprised of the following types
of EDI and transaction processing services: (i) pharmacy EDI, (ii) medical and
other EDI and (iii) patient statements. The table below shows the number of
transactions processed by the Company for the periods presented:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Three Months Ended

1997 1998
-------------- --------------
(in thousands) (in thousands)
<S> <C> <C>
Pharmacy EDI 146,662 178,512
Medical and other EDI 46,164 71,647
Patient statements 19,546 33,637
------- -------
Totals 212,372 283,796
======= =======
</TABLE>
The transactions reflected above include the transactions of the
Acquired Businesses from the date of acquisition, and include the transactions
of the ExpressBill Companies for all periods.
While pharmacy EDI transactions currently represent a majority of the
Company's total transactions, the fees associated with these transactions are
significantly less on a per transaction basis than those received for medical
EDI and patient statement transactions. As a result, pharmacy EDI revenue
constituted less than 17% of the Company's total revenues in the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998. For 1997, the pharmacy EDI business grew at less
than half the rate experienced in the Company's other businesses based on the
number of transactions processed. The Company believes the limited growth in the
Company's pharmacy EDI revenues as compared to the Company's medical EDI and
patient statement revenues primarily is the result of two factors. First, the
acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses have contributed significantly to the
growth of the medical EDI and patient statement business, and the Company has
not made any acquisitions in the pharmacy EDI business. In addition, the Company
believes that the growth in the pharmacy EDI business has not been as great as
in the medical EDI and patient statement business because of the larger market
penetration in the more mature pharmacy EDI business. As a result, the Company
expects its pharmacy EDI business as presently conducted to represent a
decreasing portion of the Company's total revenues in the future. As the mix of
the Company's business changes, a decline in the growth rates associated with
the Company's medical and other EDI and patient statement business could have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating results of the
Company. There can be no assurance that the mix of the Company's business or
growth rates will continue at their current level.
The Company receives a large number of medical EDI transactions from
practice management system ("PMS") vendors and other claims clearinghouses.
These third parties aggregate medical EDI transactions from health care
providers, but require a clearinghouse (such as ENVOY) with direct connections
to payors in order to complete the processing of the transactions. ENVOY
typically receives revenue from payors on these transactions, and pays rebates
based on volume to exclusive and preferred vendors as an inducement to use ENVOY
as the clearinghouse for these transactions. If the mix of transaction volume
continues to shift to large PMS vendors or claims clearinghouses, the Company's
business may increasingly become
12
<PAGE> 13
dependent on the Company's ability to maintain or establish successful
relationships with such third parties. In the event the Company is not able to
maintain or establish relationships with major third party PMS and claims
clearinghouse vendors to induce them to continue to send transactions to ENVOY,
the Company's business, operating results or financial condition may be
adversely affected.
The Company continues to actively pursue the acquisition of health care
information businesses and other companies complementary to its business. The
Company's ability to successfully negotiate and close acquisitions will
materially impact the financial condition and operating results of the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will find attractive acquisition
candidates, be able to successfully finance and complete the acquisitions,
consolidate and integrate such businesses following the acquisition or
successfully operate them on a going forward basis.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AS COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997
Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $42.5
million compared to $30.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of
$11.7 million or 38.0%. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of
higher transaction volumes. In total, transaction volumes increased 33.6% and
revenue increased 38.2%. The increases were primarily the result of medical EDI
internal transaction growth, and, to a lesser extent, the acquisition of HDIC
and the related increase in transaction volume. Without the increased
transaction volume from HDIC, transaction volumes would have increased 28.8% in
the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.
13
<PAGE> 14
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes the cost of communications,
computer operations, operating supplies, product development and customer
support, as well as the cost of hardware sales and rebates to third parties for
transaction processing volume. Cost of revenues in the first quarter of 1998 was
$19.4 million compared to $14.4 million for the first quarter of 1997, an
increase of $5.0 million or 34.7%. The dollar increase is attributable to the
additional costs associated with the increased transaction volume and increases
in rebates paid to third parties in connection with medical EDI transactions.
These third parties aggregate medical EDI transactions from health care
providers, but require a clearinghouse (such as ENVOY) with direct connections
to payors in order to complete the processing of the transactions. ENVOY
typically receives revenue from payors on these transactions, and pays rebates
based on volume to certain of these third parties as an inducement to use ENVOY
as their clearinghouse for these transactions. The increase in rebates paid to
third parties was approximately $1.6 million and primarily results from an
increase in the volume of claims received from certain large third party vendors
and claim clearinghouses. If the mix of revenues continues to shift toward
larger vendors and claims clearinghouses, the Company expects rebates to
represent an increasing portion of its costs of revenues. As a percentage of
revenues, cost of revenues continued to improve to 45.6% in the first quarter of
1998 compared to 46.8% in the first quarter of 1997. The improvement primarily
is attributable to the Company's ability to spread certain fixed costs of
revenue over a larger base of revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses include marketing, finance, accounting and
administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 were $10.2 million compared to $7.8 million in the
same period in 1997, an increase of 30.8%. As a percentage of revenues, however,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.0% for the first quarter of
1998 compared to 25.2% for the first quarter of 1997. The improvement is
attributable to the Company's ability to spread its infrastructure costs over a
larger base of revenues. Transaction costs related to the business combinations
with the ExpressBill Companies totaled $780,000 in the first quarter of 1998 and
consisted of approximately $500,000 in legal and accounting fees, $200,000 for
financial advisory services and $80,000 in filing fees and other transaction
costs. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative
expenses. Excluding these transaction costs, selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 1998 would have
been 22.1%.
Research and Development Expenses. Expenses related to research and
development of new products are expensed as incurred until technological
feasibility is established for the product. Thereafter, all development costs
are capitalized until the products are available for general use by customers.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
$622,000 compared to $842,000 for the comparable period in 1997.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization
expense relates primarily to host computers, communications equipment and
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets related to acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of 1998 was $9.4
million compared to $7.9 million for the comparable period in 1997. The increase
is primarily the result of the amortization of goodwill and identifiable
intangible assets related to the Acquired Businesses. At March 31, 1998, the
Company had net goodwill of $61.2 million remaining to be amortized over periods
of three to 15 years following the acquisitions. In addition, the Company had
net identifiable intangible assets of $25.7 million remaining to be amortized
over two to ten year time periods, as applicable. See "-- Acquired In-Process
Technology."
Write-off of Acquired In-Process Technology. The Company incurred a
one-time write-off of acquired in-process technology of $600,000 in connection
with the March 1997 acquisition of DSS. This amount represents an allocation of
the purchase price to the projects that consisted primarily of the development
of additional interfaces and functionality for DSS service offerings. Such
amount was charged
14
<PAGE> 15
to expense because the projects related to research and development that had not
reached technological feasibility and for which there was no alternative future
use. See "-- Acquired In-Process Technology".
Net Interest Income (Expense). The Company recorded net interest
expense of $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to net
interest income of $67,000 for the first quarter in 1997. Interest income
decreased from $453,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to $145,000 in the first
quarter of 1998. In August 1997, the Company acquired HDIC for approximately
$36.4 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities associated with
unfavorable contracts. Following this acquisition, the Company had less cash
available for investment, accounting for the reduction in interest income in the
first quarter of 1998. Interest expense increased from $386,000 in the first
quarter of 1997 to $437,000 in the first quarter of 1998. Interest expense in
the first quarter of 1998 resulted primarily from interest expense that is
required to be imputed in order to account for certain unfavorable long-term
contracts assumed in the HDIC acquisition. Interest expense in the three months
ended March 31, 1997 resulted primarily from the Company's $10.0 million 9%
convertible subordinated notes issued in June 1995 (the "Convertible Notes"). In
a series of transactions completed during 1996 and 1997, all of the Convertible
Notes were converted into shares of ENVOY Common Stock and, therefore, were not
outstanding during the first quarter of 1998.
Income Tax Provision. The Company's income tax provision for the first
quarter of 1998 was $2.5 million compared to $1.6 million for the comparable
period in 1997. Amortization of certain goodwill and identifiable intangible
assets is not deductible for income tax purposes.
ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
In connection with the purchases of certain of the Acquired Businesses,
including NEIC, DSS and HDIC, the Company made allocations of the purchase price
to acquired in-process technology. These amounts were expensed as non-recurring
charges on the respective acquisition dates of the Acquired Businesses because
the acquired in-process technology had not yet reached technological feasibility
and had no future alternative uses. In previously issued financial statements,
the Company recorded write-offs for acquired in-process technology of $30.7
million in 1996 and $38.0 million in 1997 in connection with such acquisitions.
The Staff of the Commission, in its review of the registration statement filed
by the Company in May 1998 relating to a proposed underwritten public offering
by certain shareholders of the Company, commented on the valuation of the
in-process research and development costs for the NEIC, DSS and HDIC
acquisitions. After further discussions with the Staff of the Commission, the
Company has reduced the amount of the write-offs for acquired in-process
technology to $8.7 million in 1996 and $6.6 million in 1997. These reductions
have been reallocated to goodwill or other intangible assets to reflect such
adjustments as more particularly set forth below.
Since the respective dates of acquisition, the Company has used the
acquired in-process technology to develop new health care EDI and transaction
processing product and service offerings, which have or will become part of the
Company's suite of products when completed. The nature of the efforts required
to develop the acquired in-process technology into commercially viable products
principally relate to the completion of all planning, designing and testing
activities that are necessary to establish that the product or service can be
produced to meet its design requirements, including functions, features and
technical performance requirements. The Company currently expects that the
acquired in-process technology will be successfully developed, but there can be
no assurance that commercial viability of these products will be achieved.
Furthermore, future developments in the health care EDI and transaction
processing industry,
15
<PAGE> 16
changes in EDI and transaction processing technology, changes in other product
and service offerings or other developments may cause the Company to alter or
abandon these plans. Failure to complete the development of these projects in
their entirety, or in a timely manner, could have a material adverse impact on
the Company's operating results, financial condition and results of operations.
A description of the acquired in-process technology and the estimates
made by the Company for each of NEIC, DSS and HDIC is set forth below.
NEIC
The in-process technology acquired in the NEIC acquisition consisted of
five significant research and development projects. These projects were all
aimed at facilitating the ease of participation of health care providers into
clearinghouse technologies and ensuring compliance with regulatory and other
industry standards. After acquiring NEIC, the Company continued the development
of these in-process projects.
At the time of the NEIC acquisition, the Company assigned a value of
$30.0 million to the NEIC in-process technology with the assistance of an
independent valuation prepared at such time. In an effort to facilitate the
completion of the Commission's review of its registration statement, the Company
engaged a second appraisal firm to conduct additional valuation analyses, which
indicated a value of $28.9 million. Based on further discussions with the Staff
of the Commission, the Company has determined to value the related in-process
research and development projects at $8.0 million. In arriving at this value,
the Company considered the previously-obtained independent appraisals, the
Staff's views on in-process research and development as set forth in its
September 15, 1998 letter to the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants ("AICPA Letter"), and the Staff's comments for the Company to
consider (i) the stage of completion of the in-process technology at the date of
acquisition, (ii) other contributions of the Company's own distinct and unique
proprietary advantages, and (iii) the estimated total project costs of the
in-process research and development in arriving at the valuation amount.
A brief description of the five in-process projects is set forth below:
- UniClaim. This product is a PC based claims processing system
that extracts Health Care Financing Administration 1500 claim
formats from practice management systems ("PMS"), performs
edits and transports the file to a host system where EDI
formatting is completed for delivery to payors. The Company
estimates this project, which was completed in the second
quarter of 1996, was approximately 40% complete at the date of
the NEIC acquisition.
- GTEDS. This product is a computerized system for the
collection, validation and distribution of claims from various
sources to claims receivers. The Company estimates this
project, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 1996,
was approximately 45% complete at the date of the NEIC
acquisition.
- On-Line. This product is an application that performs "screen
scraping" (i.e., it captures data from a screen presentation
and creates an American National Standards Institute 270
eligibility request). The Company estimates this project
was approximately 35% complete at the date of the NEIC
acquisition. The Company estimates that the project was
approximately 95% complete at March 31, 1998, and is expected
to be completed during the second quarter of 1998.
16
<PAGE> 17
- SmartPost. This product is an application to populate a
physician PMS with remittance data for automatic posting to
the PMS. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed
the acquisition of DSS, which already had a Receivables
Management product that included substantially the same
functionality as the SmartPost product, and determined to
abandon further development of SmartPost. The Company
estimates this project was approximately 55% complete at the
date of the NEIC acquisition.
- Expect. This product is an application for screen scraping at
payor locations. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company
identified an existing software application with the same
capabilities as Expect, and made a decision to license that
software and abandon the Expect project. The Company estimates
this project was approximately 35% complete at the date of the
NEIC acquisition.
At the time of the NEIC valuation, the expected total costs of all such
projects were approximately $4.0 million. As of March 31, 1998, approximately
$1.8 million had been incurred since the date of the NEIC acquisition for these
projects, and there were no additional expected costs to complete the research
and development projects acquired from NEIC.
DSS
The in-process technology acquired in the DSS acquisition consisted
primarily of projects related to DSS's Receivables Management product line and
four peripheral products expected to be used as add-on features to the
Receivables Management product. DSS's Receivables Management product line works
with existing hospital information system ("HIS") and PMS software and provides
claims and receivables management, including billings, collections and cash
applications, among other functions. At the time of acquisition, DSS was selling
versions of the Receivables Management product to work with certain HIS and PMS
products; however, the Company noted that there was still substantial
development work required in order to complete versions which were adapted to
other major HIS and PMS products. The Company estimates that this project, which
was completed during the fourth quarter of 1997, was approximately 35% complete
at the date of the DSS acquisition.
At the time of the DSS acquisition, the Company assigned a value of
$3.0 million to the DSS in-process technology with the assistance of an
independent valuation prepared at such time. In an effort to facilitate the
completion of the Commission's review of its registration statement, the Company
engaged a second appraisal firm to conduct additional valuation analyses, which
indicated a value of $2.8 million. Based on further discussions with the Staff
of the Commission, the Company has determined to value the related in-process
research and development projects at $600,000. In arriving at this value, the
Company considered the previously-obtained independent appraisals, the
Commission's views on in-process research and developments as set forth in the
AICPA Letter, and the Staff's comments for the Company to consider (i) the stage
of completion of the in-process technology at the date of acquisition, (ii)
other contributions of the Company's own distinct and unique proprietary
advantages, and (iii) the estimated total project costs of the in-process
research and development in arriving at the valuation amount.
A brief description of each of the four add-on features is set forth
below:
17
<PAGE> 18
- Materials Management. This product incorporates certain
customized features into licensed software to allow for online
transaction processing of inventory data. The Company
estimates this project, which was completed during the third
quarter of 1997, was approximately 50% complete at the date of
the DSS acquisition.
- Billing and 72-Hour Compliance. This product processes all
emergency room billings and collections, in addition to
tracking patients throughout the emergency/casualty process.
The Company estimates this project, which was completed during
the first quarter of 1998, was approximately 50% complete at
the date of the DSS acquisition.
- Registration. This product facilitates access to patient
records, as well as providing basic patient information to
payors. The Company estimates this project was approximately
25% complete at the date of the DSS acquisition. The Company
estimates this project was approximately 40% complete as of
March 31, 1998, and is expected to be completed during the
fourth quarter of 1998.
- Collections. This product assists the health care provider's
HIS or PMS system in the management of receivables. In the
fourth quarter of 1997, management placed further development
of this project on hold while it evaluates alternative
technologies and development strategies. The Company estimates
this project was approximately 20% complete at the date of the
DSS acquisition. At the time that the project was placed on
hold, the Company estimates that this project was
approximately 60% complete.
At the time of the DSS valuation, the expected total costs of all such
projects totaled approximately $300,000. Approximately $150,000 has been
incurred since the date of the DSS acquisition for these projects through March
31, 1998, and the Company estimates that approximately $50,000 will be required
to complete the remaining research and development projects. The remaining
efforts to complete the remaining DSS projects are primarily the selection of
appropriate sites for testing and completion of the work necessary to develop
and test the working prototypes.
HDIC
The in-process technology acquired in the HDIC acquisition consisted of
seven significant research and development projects associated with HDIC's
product line. At the time of acquisition, HDIC had developed on-line, real-time
claims transaction technology which permitted Aetna U.S. Healthcare Inc.
("AUSHC") to receive real-time EDI transactions, and was in the process of
developing new transaction sets which would allow health care providers to
submit additional health care transactions electronically. After acquiring HDIC,
the Company modified the Company's existing front-end transaction platforms to
accommodate HDIC's technology and continued the development of seven in-process
projects. The Company believes that the resulting technology has given, and will
continue to give, the Company a competitive advantage in the marketplace by
significantly enhancing the Company's existing EDI and transaction processing
capabilities with additional transaction sets.
At the time of the HDIC acquisition, the Company assigned a value of
$35.0 million to the HDIC in-process technology with the assistance of an
independent valuation prepared at such time. In an effort to facilitate the
completion of the Commission's review of its registration statement, the Company
engaged a
18
<PAGE> 19
second appraisal firm to conduct additional valuation analyses, which indicated
a value of $32.9 million. Based on further discussions with the Staff of the
Commission, the Company has determined to value the related in-process research
and development projects at $6.0 million. In arriving at this value, the Company
considered the previously-obtained independent appraisals, the Commission's
views on in-process research and development as set forth in the AICPA Letter,
and the Staff's comments for the Company to consider (i) the stage of completion
of the in-process technology at the date of acquisition, (ii) other
contributions of the Company's own distinct and unique proprietary advantages,
and (iii) the estimated total project costs of the in-process research and
development in arriving at the valuation amount.
A brief description of each of the seven in-process projects is set
forth below:
- Real-time referrals. This product is designed to allow batch
or on-line real-time transaction processing for referral
authorization and the ability to receive or confirm
acknowledgment through the Company's network that a valid
referral is on file with the primary care provider ("PCP").
The Company estimates this project was approximately 25%
complete at the date of the HDIC acquisition. The Company
estimates that the project was approximately 95% at March 31,
1998, and is expected to be completed during the second
quarter of 1998.
- Vision claims. This product is designed to provide the
capability for health care providers to submit vision claims
and vision related information electronically. The Company
estimates this project was approximately 35% complete at the
date of the HDIC acquisition. The Company estimates that the
project was approximately 85% complete at March 31, 1998, and
is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1998.
- Lab utilization/results. This product is designed to allow
electronic transmission of lab testing requests and reporting
of lab results. The Company estimates this project was
approximately 50% complete at the date of the HDIC
acquisition. The Company estimates that the project
was approximately 75% complete as of March 31, 1998, and
is expected to be completed during the third quarter 1998.
- Provider directories. This product is designed to allow for
the maintenance of reference information related to health
care providers and provider networks. The Company estimates
this project was approximately 15% complete at the date of the
HDIC acquisition. The Company estimates that the project was
approximately 80% complete as of March 31, 1998, and is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1998.
- Real-time encounters/claims. This product is designed to allow
batch or on-line real-time transaction processing for the
transmission of encounter data from the PCP or a capitated
specialist to the insurer, and the subsequent acknowledgment
of receipt. The Company estimates this project was
approximately 45% complete at the date of the HDIC
acquisition. The Company estimates that the project was
approximately 70% complete as of March 31, 1998, and is
expected to be completed during the first quarter of 1999.
- Electronic pre-certifications. This product is designed to
allow batch or real-time batch transaction processing for the
request and authorization to perform non-capitated procedures
or hospital admissions. This transaction is initiated from the
PCP, specialist hospital or other delivery system. The Company
estimates this project was approximately 35% complete at the
date of the HDIC acquisition. The Company estimates that the
project was approximately
19
<PAGE> 20
40% complete as of March 31, 1998, and is expected to be
completed during the second quarter of 1999.
- Rosters through the Internet. This product is designed to use
the Internet as a means to deliver to health care providers
managed care program eligibility status and capitated payment
information. The Company estimates this project was
approximately 50% complete at the date of the HDIC
acquisition. The Company estimates that the project was
approximately 80% complete as of March 31, 1998, and is
expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1999.
At the time of the HDIC valuation, the expected total costs of all such
projects was approximately $3.0 million. Approximately $400,000 has been
incurred since the date of the HDIC acquisition for these projects through March
31, 1998, and the Company estimates that approximately $1.4 million will be
required to complete the remaining research and development projects. The
remaining efforts to complete these projects include the processes of planning
and coding the primary applications and customer interfaces, testing such coding
and interfaces, and introducing such processes into production environments at
Company and customer locations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years primarily as
a result of substantial non-cash depreciation and amortization charges related
to the Acquired Businesses, together with the write-off of acquired in-process
technology. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, however, operations
generated positive cash flows of $12.7 million. For the three months ended March
31, 1997, operations used cash of $197,000.
Investing activities consist primarily of payments for acquired
businesses and purchases of property and equipment. Investing activities used
cash of $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and used cash of
$8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the issuance of
capital stock, and proceeds from and payments on debt. Financing activities used
cash of $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and provided $1.3
million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
On May 6, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Synergy for
$10.2 million in cash. Following this acquisition and as of May 6, 1998, the
Company had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.0 million.
The Company purchases additional computer hardware and software
products from time to time as required to support the Company's business. The
Company incurred capital expenditures of $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily for
computer hardware and software products. The Company currently estimates that
total capital expenditures for 1998 will be approximately $8 to $9 million.
The Company is expensing as incurred all costs associated with system
changes related to its Year 2000 compliance project. The Company estimates that
the total cost of the Year 2000 expenses will be
20
<PAGE> 21
approximately $4.0 million, of which approximately $2.5 million will be incurred
during 1998. These costs are being funded with available cash.
At May 6, 1998, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its $50
million revolving credit facility. Any future borrowings made under the credit
facility would bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the
credit facility) or an index tied to LIBOR. Any future borrowings under the
credit facility would be due and payable in full on June 30, 2000. The credit
facility contains financial covenants applicable to the Company and its
subsidiaries, including ratios of debt to capital, annualized EBITDA to
annualized interest expense and certain other financial covenants customarily
included in a credit facility of this type. The Company and its subsidiaries
also are subject to certain restrictions relating to payment of dividends to
shareholders of the Company, acquisitions, incurrence of debt and other
restrictive provisions; however, there are no restrictions on the ability of the
Company's subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company in the form of
dividends, loans or advances. The credit facility is secured by substantially
all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
In February 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of Common Stock
in connection with the ExpressBill Companies' business combinations. Also in
February 1998, 930,233 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock were converted into an equal number of shares of Common Stock. As a result
of these transactions, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
increased by approximately 4.4 million shares, or 27%, to 21.1 million shares.
From time to time, the Company has engaged and will continue to engage
in acquisition discussions with health care information businesses and other
companies complementary to its business. In the event the Company engages in
such acquisitions in the future, its currently available capital resources may
not be sufficient for such purposes and the Company may be required to incur
additional indebtedness or issue additional capital stock, which could result in
increased interest expense or dilution to existing investors.
Based on current operations, anticipated capital needs to fund known
expenditures and current acquisitions, the Company believes its available cash,
cash flow from operations and the $50.0 million revolving credit facility will
provide the capital resources necessary to meet its liquidity and cash flow
requirements over the next 12 months, including the Company's current short-term
obligations. The Company believes that present funding sources will provide the
ability to meet long-term obligations as they mature. As of March 31, 1998, the
Company's long-term obligations totaled $10.2 million and consisted of $231,000
in long-term debt net of current portion, $1.4 million and $8.6 million in
long-term obligations related to unfavorable contracts assumed in connection
with the HDIC acquisition. Such amounts relate primarily to the Company's
obligations under the AUSHC services agreement to assume a portion of the
transaction processing fees related to certain secondary Medicare transactions,
and existing agreements assumed by the Company with several businesses that
served as claims clearinghouses for AUSHC prior to the HDIC acquisition. The
Company's available cash is invested in interest bearing securities with
maturities of up to 30 days.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is to some extent seasonal, with more revenues
being generated from September through March as a result of a greater number of
pharmaceutical claims arise in those months, while operating expenses tend to
remain relatively constant over the course of the year.
