Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
September 30, 2002
Note A Description of business and basis of presentation
Unaudited Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Healthaxis Inc. and its subsidiaries (Healthaxis or the Company), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries, which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The interim financial statements do not include all disclosures provided in fiscal year end financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.
Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements that affect:
| The reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and | ||
| The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. |
They also require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the restated financial statements for discontinued operations and notes thereto contained in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2002.
General
Healthaxis is a technology services firm committed to providing medical claims and administration applications, web-enabled software solutions and outsourced claims processing services for government and commercial benefit administrators, health insurance companies and managed care organizations. These solutions, which are comprised of software products and related services, are provided either on a fully integrated or on an Application Service Provider (ASP) basis.
Healthaxis is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 1982. Healthaxis common stock trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol HAXS. The operations of Healthaxis during 2001 were conducted primarily through its subsidiary, Healthaxis.com, Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2001 the Company reorganized and formed a new subsidiary, Healthaxis, Ltd., through which all operations are now conducted. Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, all references in this document to the Company or Healthaxis include Healthaxis Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.

Note B Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods, and the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is excluded. Diluted earnings per share is computed to show the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method based on the average market price of the stock during the respective periods. The effect of including the stock options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of the Companys convertible debentures and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into the computation of diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive generally due to the Companys net loss from continuing operations. Accordingly, these items have not been included in the computation.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Instead, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 (January 1, 2002), annually thereafter and upon the occurrence of any event that indicates potential impairments. The Company will perform its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002.
SFAS No. 142 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for potential impairment; while the second phase (if necessary), measures the impairment. Goodwill is potentially impaired if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Companys reporting units are generally consistent with the operating segments underlying the segments identified in Note G Segment Reporting. This methodology differs from the Companys previous policy, as permitted under accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if goodwill is recoverable.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and completion of the required transition testing in the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded as of January 1, 2002 a one-time, non-cash charge of $6,674 to reduce the carrying value of its goodwill. Such charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In calculating the impairment charge, the fair value of the impaired reporting units underlying the segments were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology (See Note F).
Long-Lived Assets
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of. The primary objectives of SFAS No. 144 are to develop one accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and to address significant implementation issues. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002. There has been no significant impact resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 144.
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired and the estimated fair value of the asset is less than its recorded amount. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment included material adverse changes in operations, significant adverse differences in actual results in comparison with initial valuation forecasts prepared at the time of acquisition, a decision to abandon acquired products, services or technologies, or other significant adverse changes
Page 7 of 36
that would indicate the carrying amount of the recorded asset might not be recoverable.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted pre-tax future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets estimated using discounted cash flows.
Disposal Activities
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, such as restructurings, involuntarily terminating employees and consolidating facilities. SFAS No. 146 excludes from its scope exit and disposal activities conducted in connection with a business combination and those activities to which SFAS No. 143 and 144 are applicable. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Other
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (Statement 145). For most companies, Statement 145 will require gains and losses on extinguishments of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under Statement 4. Extraordinary treatment will be required for certain extinguishments as provided in APB Opinion No. 30. The FASB concluded the application of the criteria in Opinion 30 to debt extinguishment transactions would seldom, if ever, result in extraordinary item classification of the gain or loss associated with the extinguishment. One of the Boards objectives in rescinding Statement 4 was to distinguish transactions that are part of a companys recurring operations from those that are unusual or infrequent or that meet the criteria for classification as extraordinary items. Upon adoption, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria of Opinion 30 for such classification should be reclassified to conform with the provisions of Statement 145. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. In addition to numerous technical corrections in various areas, Statement 145 also amends Statement 13 to require certain modifications to capital leases be treated as a sale-leaseback and modifies the accounting for sub-leases when the original lessee remains a secondary obligor (or guarantor). The Company has not completed the evaluation of the extraordinary gains from debt extinguishment to determine whether the amounts would be reclassified upon adoption. Other than potential reclassifications as discussed we do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note C Extinguishment of Convertible Debt
On July 31, 2002, Healthaxis closed a transaction in which the holders of its 2% Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $27,500 exchanged their debentures for 23,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) and a cash payment of $4,000. The Preferred Stock has a par value of $1.00 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a price of $2.625 per share and carries a dividend rate of 2% per annum, payable semi-annually on July 15 and January 15 of each year, in cash or, in some circumstances, common stock. The Preferred Stock contains, among other things, terms providing the holders a preference in the payment of dividends, and also a liquidation preference at least
Page 8 of 36
equal to the stocks stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends, and contains covenants and obligations to which the Company must adhere. The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have general voting rights, although they do have the right to vote separately as a class in certain circumstances. The Company recorded the Preferred Stock as a component of equity at its estimated fair value totaling $6,638, less transaction costs of $212. The determination of fair value was based upon consideration of 1) the value of the indefinite future dividend stream discounted at 25%, 2) the value of the conversion rights determined by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model using an expected term of 10 years, expected volatility of 60%, a risk free interest rate of 5%, and no expected dividends, and 3) a valuation of the preferential liquidation rights and privileges.
The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $16,388 related to the transaction for the difference between the carrying value of the convertible debentures and the estimated fair value of the cash and preferred stock exchanged. At December 31, 2001, the Company maintained significant net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes that far exceed the amount of the gain related to this transaction. Management has also established a 100 percent reserve for the tax assets attributable to these carryforwards since the realization of these assets are uncertain. As a result, no provision for income taxes has been recorded during 2002 as any taxable income for the year will be offset by loss carryforwards and the benefit of such assets have been reserved to offset future tax liabilities.
Note D Termination of UICI Technology Services Agreement
On June 11, 2002, the Company initiated and entered into an agreement with UICI terminating the amended Information Technology Services Agreement (the Agreement) between the two parties. The Agreement was originally entered into on January 3, 2000 in conjunction with the merger of Healthaxis.com, Inc and Insurdata Incorporated. Under the terms of the termination agreement, UICI made a one-time cash payment to Healthaxis in the amount of $6,500 and tendered 500,000 shares of Healthaxis common stock back to the Company. In return, approximately 165 Healthaxis employees that were previously dedicated to providing services to UICI under the Agreement were transferred to and became employees of UICI on June 15, 2002. Due to the related party nature of the transaction, the Company has recorded the net proceeds, totaling $6,359, as a contribution of capital from a significant shareholder.
Discontinued Operations
The Company has previously reported the revenues and expenses associated with the Agreement as those from the UICI Outsourcing segment. As a result of the termination of the Agreement, the Companys financial statements have been prepared with the UICI Outsourcing segment results of operations presented as discontinued operations. All historical financial statements presented have been restated to conform to this presentation.
Impairment charges of $484 and $3,080 related to goodwill and customer base, respectively, allocated to the UICI Outsourcing segment have been recorded as a loss on disposal of discontinued operations.

Note E Related Party Transactions
At September 30, 2002, UICI owned approximately 45% of the Companys outstanding common stock and owned warrants to purchase 222,396 shares of the Companys common stock at prices ranging from $3.01 to $12.00 per share. At September 30, 2002, UICI also owned 1,424 shares of the Companys Series A convertible preferred stock that were convertible into 542,477 common shares.
UICI and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively UICI) have in the past constituted, in the aggregate, Healthaxis largest customer. Services to UICI are provided pursuant to various written agreements, the most significant of which has been the Information Technology Services Agreement (the Agreement). On June 11, 2002, the Company and UICI mutually agreed to an early termination of the Agreement (See Note D). Healthaxis also provides services from continuing operations to certain UICI subsidiaries and affiliates, including the use of certain proprietary workflow and business applications, as well as data capture services. The Companys revenues from UICI for these services for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, were $449 (9%) and $2,611 (44%), respectively, of the Companys revenues from continuing operations. The Companys revenues from UICI for these services for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, were $1,694 (12%) and $6,568 (38%), respectively, of the Companys revenues from continuing operations. As of September 30, 2002, Healthaxis had accounts receivable due from UICI and its subsidiaries and affiliates totaling $279, which represented 9% of the Companys total accounts receivable.
For the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2002, UICI and its subsidiaries accounted for an aggregate of $583 (12%) and $9,906 (43%), respectively, of Healthaxis total revenues for the period from both continuing and discontinued operations.
In conjunction with the termination of the Agreement, the Company paid $100 to a consulting firm, DiamondCluster International, Inc., affiliated with one of the Companys directors. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company paid professional services fees in the amount of $366 to the same consulting firm.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 (See Note B). In the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed a transitional goodwill impairment test, which under SFAS No. 142 must be completed in the year of adoption. This test resulted in an impairment charge totaling $6,674, related to the Web Technologies operating segment. The impairment charge is shown as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of January 1, 2002.

At June 30, 2002, in connection with the termination of the Agreement with UICI, the Company recorded impairment charges related to goodwill and customer base in the amounts of $484 and $3,080, respectively. The amounts are shown as a loss on the disposal of discontinued operations. The goodwill impairment charge results from a write off of the entire amount of goodwill allocated to the Outsourcing segment as determined under the
Page 12 of 36
new rules for goodwill accounting. Likewise, the amount of the customer base impairment charge was based upon a complete write-off of the portion of the assets carrying value originally based upon the estimated future cash flows from the Agreement with UICI.

Note G Segment Reporting
In May of 2001, the Company implemented a restructuring plan which, among other things, created separate business units, each with accountability for operations beginning July 1, 2001. Each business unit is deemed to be a reporting segment. Assets are not allocated to business units for internal reporting purposes and are, therefore, not included in the segment information below.
The Companys operating segments are:
| Web Technology Group provides web-enabled connectivity platforms and solutions for self service (brokers, employers, employees, members, and providers), large group enrollment and small group enrollment, sale/distribution and post-sale administration of group and individual insurance policies including health, life and dental insurance, and solutions for enabling compliance with HIPAA. | ||
| Benefit Administrator Solutions Group (formerly Application Solutions Group) provides web-enabled systems for enrollment, administration and processing of health insurance claims on an ASP basis. | ||
| Imaging Services Group provides electronic data capture, imaging, storage and retrieval of health insurance claims, attachments and other correspondence. |
Each business segment generally sells its products and services to the same constituent users, generally located in the United States, namely healthcare payers, which include insurance companies, third-party and first- party administrators, brokers / intermediaries, Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans and self-insured employers, including state governments.
All revenue is specifically associated with a separate business unit and, therefore, there are no reconciling items. Earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is the primary liquidity measurement used by management to make decisions regarding the segments. However, EBITDA is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA does not consider depreciation and amortization of software and equipment which could be significant with increased capital expenditures. Management does not consider these expenses significant for purposes of evaluating separate business unit liquidity. EBITDA, as defined by the Company, also excludes restructuring and impairment, severance and non-
Page 13 of 36
cash stock based compensation charges (EBITDA As Defined). Management uses the EBITDA As Defined measurement to monitor basic cash flow generated and used in the Companys core operating activities, and to monitor the effects of changes made by management in the Companys operations across different time periods. This factor alone is insufficient to measure all of the Companys operating characteristics and is used in conjunction with GAAP operating income to measure total operating performance. EBITDA As Defined may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Corporate overhead includes executive management, accounting, legal and human resources, and other expenses including consulting services. Operating income does not include any cost allocations for corporate overhead.

Note H Employee Termination Agreement
On August 15, 2000, Alvin H. Clemens, the Companys then Chairman, and Healthaxis entered into an agreement terminating Mr. Clemens employment contract. The termination agreement became effective upon the consummation of the merger of Healthaxis.com with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the HAXS Merger) in January 2001. Under the terms of the termination agreement, Mr. Clemens was to receive aggregate payments totaling $2,125 paid in quarterly installments over five years beginning in the first quarter of 2001. The Company, at its option, could make the quarterly payments in shares of Healthaxis common stock not to exceed a total of 500,000 shares.
On March 6, 2002, the Company and Mr. Clemens entered into an agreement pursuant to which Mr. Clemens agreed to accept 358,332 shares of the Companys common stock in full payment and satisfaction of the remainder of the severance obligation. The Company recorded a gain in the first quarter of 2002 totaling $1,345 related to the settlement of this liability, which was based upon the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the fair value of the common stock issued to Mr. Clemens.
Note I Impairment of Investment on Digital Insurance
In June 2002, the Company determined that an other than temporary decline in the value of Healthaxis investment in Digital Insurance, Inc. common stock had occurred. An impairment charge in the amount of $227, the remainder of the carrying value, has been included as a component of interest income and other income (expense).
Note J Capitalized Software Impairment Charge
Management periodically reviews the book value of assets held for indications of impairment. At June 30, 2002, management determined that the value of certain developed software was impaired. This determination was based upon an analysis of estimated future cash flows in connection with a decision by management to divert marketing efforts away from the software product. An impairment charge of $592, for the remaining carrying value of the asset, has been included in costs of revenue.
Note K Subsequent Event
On November 12, 2002, Healthaxis began a cost reduction initiative designed to more closely align expenses with revenues and enhance the Companys operating performance. The cost reduction initiative consists of both a reduction in the Companys labor force and an across-the-board reduction in salary levels, as well as planned reductions in certain operating and overhead expenses. The reduction in labor force is scheduled to be effective in mid-November and the Company expects to record severance expenses related to the terminated employees in the fourth quarter of 2002.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risks and uncertainties identified in Healthaxis documents filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation those identified under the caption Risk Factors in the Companys Form S-3/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2002. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Overview
Healthaxis is a technology services firm committed to providing medical claims and administration applications, web-enabled software solutions and outsourced claims processing services for government and commercial benefit administrators, health insurance companies and managed care organizations. These solutions, which are comprised of software products and related services, are provided either on a fully integrated or on an Application Service Provider (ASP) basis. Healthaxis believes that its solutions enable a client to reduce their administrative costs, grow their revenue, and improve profitability.
Revenue Model: Healthaxis derives revenue from a number of sources as described below for each of our strategic business units.
Benefit Administrator Solutions Group revenue is derived from transaction fees and from providing professional services. The transaction revenue is a combination of a per-employee-per-month (PEPM) fee for the use of our proprietary applications and a per document fee for the printing and mailing of system output (benefit checks, EOBs and letters). The transaction revenue is based on an ASP model, where Healthaxis hosts the hardware and software and performs some print and mail services on behalf of clients. Professional services revenue is generated from direct billing for our staff time. These billings are generally derived from converting a clients existing system, client training and tailoring custom solutions for a client. Professional services generally are billed on a flat rate per hour. In some cases, a project may be done for a fixed price. For fixed price projects, revenue is recognized on the percentage completion basis. Depending upon the nature and expected profitability of certain projects, professional service fees and associated costs may be deferred and recognized over the life of the transaction-based contract.
Web Technology Group revenue is derived from licensing of our proprietary software products and providing professional services. The licensing revenue is a combination of per-member-per-month (PMPM) fees and fixed price license fees. The fixed price license fees historically have been recognized over a period of time, due to contract terms (such as a right of return). In the future, we may enter into one-time license fee agreements, which fees would be recognized upon the delivery of the product. Professional service revenue is generated from direct billing for our staff time. These billings generally are associated with implementation and integration of our software product into our clients legacy system. Professional services may be billed on a flat rate per hour, or a project may be undertaken for a fixed price. Revenue on fixed price projects is recognized on the percentage completion basis.
Page 16 of 36
Imaging Group revenue is generally transaction based. Fees for mail handling, scanning and converting insurance claims from paper to electronic format, and image storage and retrieval are priced on a per-document or a per-image basis. Such revenue is recognized in the month the services are performed. Contracts generally include an up-front payment intended to recover the start-up costs incurred in setting up a new client. Such fees are generally deferred and recognized over the life of the transaction-based contract.
Restructuring Plan: In May 2001, the Company implemented a restructuring plan as further described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2002. In connection with its restructuring and reorganization, the Company accrued or recorded restructuring charges of $279.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. Those costs are generally related to impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, and severance costs for terminated employees.
Recent Developments
Termination of the Information Technology Services Agreement with UICI: On June 11, 2002, Healthaxis, at its initiative, entered into an agreement with UICI terminating the Information Technology Services Agreement (the Agreement) between the two parties. The transaction closed on June 17, 2002. Under the terms of the termination agreement, UICI made a one-time cash payment to Healthaxis in the amount of $6.5 million and tendered 500,000 shares of Healthaxis common stock back to the Company. In return, approximately 165 Healthaxis employees that were previously dedicated to providing services to UICI under the Agreement have been transferred to and are now employed by UICI. Approximately 13 previously dedicated employees have been terminated by the Company and did not transfer to UICI in the transaction. As a result, all expenses directly associated with the transferred or terminated employees will no longer be incurred by Healthaxis. Under the terms of the Agreement, Healthaxis was entitled to receive revenues from UICI equaling the sum of the costs allocable under the Agreement plus ten percent of such costs.
Prior to the termination of the Agreement, UICI and its subsidiaries and affiliates constituted, in aggregate, Healthaxis largest customer. UICI is also the Companys largest common shareholder. At September 30, 2002, UICI owned approximately 45% of the Companys outstanding common stock and owns warrants to purchase 222,396 shares of the Companys common stock at prices ranging from $3.01 to $12.00 per share. At September 30, 2002, UICI also owned 1,424 shares of the Companys Series A convertible preferred stock that were convertible into 542,477 common shares.
Healthaxis requested the early termination of the Agreement for the following reasons:
| Healthaxis business strategy is focused on benefit administrator solutions, web connectivity capabilities and imaging and data capture services, and not on information technology outsourcing services. The Agreement was an information technology outsourcing arrangement and required significant management attention. The time required of management to administer the contract distracted time from the effective administration of the Companys long-term business strategy. | ||
| UICI had previously publicly stated that it did not intend to renew the Agreement when it expires in December 2005. UICI expected that payments to Healthaxis under the Agreement were likely to decline over the remaining term of the agreement as it replaced Healthaxis employees with its own employees. Healthaxis revenues derived from the Agreement had already declined from $21.4 million in 2000 to $20.7 million in 2001, and from $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2001 to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2002 (a 14% decline). |
Page 17 of 36
| Terminating the Agreement removed the future uncertainty associated with the levels of revenues and earnings to be derived from the Agreement, which were in decline. The Termination Agreement provided for the payment of $6.5 million in cash immediately. Management of Healthaxis estimated that the financial benefit to be received under the Termination Agreement was equal to or greater than the amount the Company could have reasonably expected to have received from continuation of the Agreement and was, therefore, attractive. |
Healthaxis has accounted for the transaction as a disposition of a line of business. Due to the related party nature of the transaction, the Company has recorded the proceeds, totaling approximately $6.4 million net of transaction costs, as a contribution of capital from a significant shareholder. The transaction resulted in a write-down of certain intangible assets, namely customer base and goodwill, in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.6 million. This amount was recorded as a loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2002. The results of operations of the disposed segment are now reported as a gain from discontinued operations on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the appropriate periods. The Company had previously reported the activities under the Agreement as a separate operating segment (Outsourcing).
All historical revenues and expenses related to the termination of the Agreement are reported as a gain from discontinued operations in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations attached hereto, for all periods reported. The termination of the Agreement resulted in the loss of substantially all of the business of UICI, our largest customer, and the Company believes that it is unlikely that it will be able to replace this business in the near-term. The near-term impact of the termination of the Agreement on the Companys operations, cash flow and liquidity is described under the caption Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
As a result of the loss of substantially all of UICIs business, the business of a number of the Companys other clients now represents a more significant component of the Companys continuing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Companys four largest customers accounted for 59% of revenues. One of these clients, American Administrative Group, Inc. (AAG), is currently operating under a temporary arrangement while the Company and AAG continue to negotiate a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be reached with AAG.
NASDAQ Listing: On April 12, 2002 Healthaxis received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market that, for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, Healthaxis common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share price that is required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market. The Company subsequently applied for and received approval for the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
The listing of Healthaxis common stock was transferred from the Nasdaq National Market to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on July 16, 2002, where it will continue to trade under the symbol HAXS. The continued listing of Healthaxis common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market will be subject to the Companys continuing qualification with the Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements, including the requirement that the Healthaxis common stock obtain a price of $1.00 per share for ten consecutive days on or before April 17, 2003.
Digital Insurance: As of March 31, 2002, the Company carried its 2.5% interest in Digital Insurance at a value of $227,000 based upon Digitals last equity funding. In July 2002, Digital completed another equity funding which further diluted the Companys holdings to 0.4%. Healthaxis management has now concluded that there is no measurable value in its investment in Digital, and that this is other than a temporary condition. Accordingly, Healthaxis recorded an impairment charge in the second quarter 2002 for the entire $227,000 and now has no carrying value for its investment in Digital.
Page 18 of 36
Extinguishment of Convertible Debt: On July 31, 2002, Healthaxis completed a transaction in which the holders of its 2% Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $27.5 million exchanged their debentures for 23,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) and a cash payment of $4.0 million. The Preferred Stock has a par value of $1.00 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a price of $2.625 per share and carries a dividend rate of 2% per annum, payable semi-annually on July 15 and January 15 of each year, in cash or, in some circumstances, common stock. The Preferred Stock contains, among other things, terms providing the holders a preference in the payment of dividends, a liquidation preference at least equal to the stocks stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends, a redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock in situations within the control of the Company, and contains covenants and obligations to which the Company must adhere. The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have general voting rights, although they do have the right to vote separately as a class in certain circumstances.
In 1999, the Company issued the 2% Convertible Debentures in the amount of $27.5 million, described above. These debentures, as amended, were due in full on September 14, 2005 and could be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $9.00 per share at the option of the holder. Interest was paid semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year and, at the Companys option, could be paid in cash or in stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded $319,000 in interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures, which was paid via the issuance of 452,680 shares of the Companys common stock in July 2002. These debentures were extinguished on July 31, 2002 as described above.
The Company recorded a third quarter gain on extinguishment of the convertible debt of $16.4 million related to the transaction for the difference between the carrying value of the convertible debentures and the estimated fair value of the cash and preferred stock exchanged. The Preferred Stock is reported as permanent equity with a value of $6.4 million on the Companys balance sheet. The combined effects of the gain and recording of the Preferred Stock increased shareholder equity by approximately $22.8 million.
Management of Healthaxis believes that this transaction will benefit the Company by eliminating all of the Companys long-term debt for an amount significantly less than the face value of the debentures. Management also believes that the existence of the long-term debt was a negative factor in the minds of existing customers, potential customers, and shareholders in terms of the Companys financial stability. However, management also considered factors mitigating against issuing the Preferred Stock and paying cash in exchange for the convertible debentures. These factors included, for example, the need to pay $4.0 million in cash to effect the exchange. Had the Company not entered into the exchange, it would have had additional liquidity for its ongoing operations. The convertible debentures did not mature until September 2005, and therefore did not represent an immediate use of liquidity. It is also possible that the Company could have negotiated a different transaction at a later date, or it could have repaid the convertible debentures in full when due through the issuance of other financial securities. On balance, after consideration of all the factors, management concluded that the existence of the convertible debentures was such a negative factor in the minds of the Companys existing customers, potential customers and shareholders, that this factor outweighed the other factors considered and that the Company should take immediate action.
November 2002 Cost Reduction Initiative: On November 12, 2002, Healthaxis began a cost reduction initiative designed to more closely align expenses with revenues and enhance the Companys operating performance. The cost reduction initiative consists of both a reduction in the Companys labor force and an across-the-board reduction in salary levels, as well as planned reductions in certain operating and overhead expenses. The reduction in labor force is scheduled to be effective in mid-November and the Company expects to record severance expenses related to the terminated employees in the 4th quarter. The reduction in salary levels is expected to be effective January 1, 2003. In total, the cost reduction initiative is designed to save in excess of $5 million in expenses in 2003, however there can be no assurances that the implementation of this initiative will result in the full amount of expected savings.
Page 19 of 36
Management believes that the cost reduction initiative serves not only the Companys financial goals, but is also consistent with its strategic business goals. Healthaxis has spent significant resources in the past two years developing certain products and functionality. That development effort is now substantially complete and the level of human resources necessary to sustain the effort is no longer required. The Company will now focus on selling these capabilities to new customers, as well as using them to strengthen relationships with existing customers. In addition, the Company has, in recent periods, sharpened its focus on more specific target markets with more specific product offerings, the effect of which has been to reduce its human resource requirements. Hence, management believes that its reduced labor force will be able to effectively serve its existing customer base, while also focusing on new market opportunities.

Results of Operations
The Company focuses its cost containment initiatives on operating cash expenses. Operating depreciation / amortization, stock based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charge and loss on building are all non-cash expenses.
Operating depreciation / amortization is the systematic charge to expense for tangible fixed assets used in the operation of the business. Stock based compensation is the result of (a) stock options that were granted at an exercise price below the market price of the Companys common stock in 2000 and are charged to expense as vested; (b) options that were re-priced in 2000 and are accounted for as variable options with a mark-to-market expense charge to the extent the Companys stock price exceeds $2.49; and (c) charges from the vesting of an Insurdata option plan that was assumed as part of the Companys merger with Insurdata Incorporated (the Insurdata Merger). Amortization of intangibles is the systematic expensing of customer base, developed software and, in 2001, goodwill. The restructuring charge relates to certain charges associated with the Companys adoption of a restructuring plan implemented in May 2001, and the loss on building relates to the writedown of a Pennsylvania building and property that has since been sold. The following tables are presented in such a manner that these significant non-cash expenses are distinguishable from cash expenses.

Revenues decreased 17% from $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $4.9 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily the result of reductions in the amounts received from Digital Insurance and UICI (unrelated to the Information Technology Services Agreement) in the Web Technology Group, with slight decreases in revenue also being recorded in the Benefits Administrator Solutions Group and the Imaging Services Group. The decrease in revenue from Digital Insurance totaled $155,000 and was a result of the May 2001 Amended Asset Purchase and Amended Software Licensing and Consulting agreements. These amended agreements served to reduce the amount of license fees and professional services fees received from Digital Insurance in subsequent periods. The decrease in revenue from UICI was approximately $1.0 million. Revenue under this agreement was amortized into revenue over a contractual warranty period that expired on March 31, 2002. Subsequent to that date only a small amount of maintenance revenue remains. Revenue of $396,000 from a new customer of the Web Technology Group in the third quarter of 2002 was largely offset by the loss of a significant Imaging Services Group customer in late 2001 ($113,000 reduction).
Cost of revenues includes all expenses directly associated with the production of revenue, and consists primarily of salaries and related benefits, rent, amortization and depreciation, system expenses such as maintenance and repair, as well as other related consumables. These costs decreased 10% from $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $4.9 million for the same period in 2002. During 2002, we capitalized more personnel costs associated with software development and contract start-up than we did during the same period in 2001. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, we capitalized $365,000 related to the development of our new Web Self-Service products (Broker, Member, Employer, and Enroll). During the same period, we also capitalized $162,000 in contract costs related to the implementation of new Web Self-Service and Insur-Claim customers. This increased capitalization caused employee personnel expense to decrease. Without this capitalization, personnel expense would have remained about the same as 2001. The decrease in cost of revenues relates entirely to this decrease in personnel expense. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 93% in the 2001 period to 102% in the 2002 period. Most of the Companys operating costs consist of salaried wages. Although revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2002, personnel costs did not decrease proportionately.
Sales and marketing expenses consist of employee salaries and related benefits, as well as promotional costs such as direct mail campaigns, trade shows and media advertising. These expenses increased from $320,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $617,000 for the same period in 2002. The increase was due to increased personnel in the direct sales force.
General and administrative expenses include executive management, accounting, legal, consulting services and human resources compensation and related benefits, as well as expenditures for applicable overhead costs. These expenses decreased $50,000 (4%) from the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared the same period in 2002. A reduction of stock based compensation and depreciation accounted for $30,000 of the change which was due to the fact that certain Founders Plan options which were included in stock based compensation expense during 2001 became fully vested in April 2002.
Research and development expenses primarily consist of the salary and related benefits of personnel engaged directly in the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products, prior to the establishment of technological feasibility. These expenses decreased 74% from $301,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $78,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease was due to a reduction of Advanced Technology Division staff, and the redeployment of staff from this division to operating divisions in order to focus on near term revenue opportunities.
Amortization of intangible expenses includes the amortization of developed software, customer base and goodwill. These expenses decreased from $970,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $323,000
Page 22 of 36
for the same period in 2002. Most of the decrease was due to the fact that goodwill is no longer being amortized, effective January 1, 2002, in accordance with new accounting guidelines.
Interest income and other income (expense) increased from a loss of ($1.5) million in the three months ended September 30, 2001 to a gain of $68,000 in the same period in 2002. The change was due to a write down of our investment in Digital Insurance of $1.6 million which was recorded in the 2001 period. There was no such charge in 2002.
Interest expense is derived mostly from the Companys convertible debentures. This expense decreased from $182,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $76,000 for the same period in 2002. The reduction is due to the extinguishment of these debentures in July 2002 as described under the caption Recent Developments Extinguishment of Convertible Debt above.
Gain from discontinued operations relates to the operations of the disposed UICI Outsourcing business segment. This segment was effectively disposed of on June 17, 2002 as further described in Recent Developments Termination of the Information Technology Outsourcing Agreement with UICI above. The $615,000 gain for the three months ended September 30, 2001 reflects the net revenues and expenses under that agreement during the period. The $34,000 gain for the comparable period in 2002 reflects only a final adjustment to the agreement that was terminated in the previous quarter.
Gain on extinguishment of debt of $16.4 million was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2002. This gain was the result of the elimination of the Companys convertible debentures, as further described under the caption Recent Developments Extinguishment of Convertible Debt above. There was no such gain in the comparable period in 2001.

Revenues decreased 15% from $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $14.7 million for the same period in 2002. Revenues from UICI (unrelated to the Information Technology Services Agreement) accounted for $1.1 million of the decline and a reduction in revenue from Digital Insurance accounted for $1.6 million. Revenue from three new customers in 2002 of $722,000 plus net growth of several existing customers of $610,000 were largely offset by the loss of three customers totaling $1.2 million in the Imaging Services Group ($1.1 million) and Web Technologies Group ($119,000).
Cost of revenues decreased 15% from $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $16.4 million for the same period in 2002 despite a software impairment charge of $592,000 and a hardware write-off of $123,000 in the 2002 period. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 111% for both periods. A reduction of stock based compensation accounted for $548,000 of the decrease. Most of the stock based compensation cost in 2001 relates to the re-measurement of options exchanged in the HAXS Merger completed in January 2001. A reduction of amortization and depreciation accounted for an additional $226,000 and is the result of a cutback in capital expenditures following the May 2001 restructuring. The remainder of the decrease was due
Page 24 of 36
primarily to a reduction in personnel and subcontractor expenses, which resulted from a reduced labor force subsequent to the restructuring plan implemented in May 2001 as described above.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 44% from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $1.6 million for the same period in 2002. Approximately $1.0 million of the decrease was due to a reduction of stock based compensation resulting from the re-measurement of options exchanged in the 2001 HAXS Merger.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2002, reflecting a decrease of 76%. Stock based compensation of approximately $4.6 million was included in the 2001 period as compared to $158,000 in the 2002 period, due primarily to the re-measurement of options exchanged in the HAXS merger. Severance expenses totaling $2.2 million are included in the 2001 period, as compared to a credit of $1.3 million in 2002, primarily related to Mr. Clemens severance agreement and settlement as described in Note H to the Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. After adjustment for these items, expenses have decreased approximately $700,000 as a result of the reduction of management and corporate staff and reduced depreciation.
Research and development expenses decreased 74% from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $318,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease was due to a reduction of Advanced Technology Division staff, and the redeployment of staff from this division to operating divisions in order to focus on near-term revenue opportunities.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges were approximately $279.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. These charges were recorded pursuant to the Companys adoption of an internal restructuring plan implemented in May 2001. Approximately $277.5 million of this charge was attributable to the write-down of goodwill. The remainder is to record other costs of the restructuring including severance payments for terminated employees and the reduction of other long lived assets, primarily resulting from the decision to cease the development and marketing of certain products. See Overview Restructuring Plan above. There were no such charges during the comparable period in 2002.
Loss on building of $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 represents the write-down of our building and property in Pennsylvania, which has now been sold. There were no such charges during the comparable period in 2002.
Amortization of intangible expenses decreased from $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $976,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease was due to the fact that goodwill is no longer being amortized, effective January 1, 2002, in accordance with new accounting guidelines as described in Recent Accounting Pronouncements below.
Interest income and other income (expense) increased from a ($2.0) million expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to income of $25,000 in the same period in 2002. The increase was due to a write off of the investment in Digital Insurance of $3.0 million in 2001 as compared to $227,000 in 2002, offset primarily by a decline in interest income of $480,000 from 2001 to 2002. The increased interest income in 2001 was due to customer financings and larger balances on loans due from employees.
Interest expense decreased 40% from $737,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $439,000 in the same period in 2002. The decrease is due to the reduction in amortization of the discount on the convertible debentures, which was revalued on January 26, 2001 in connection with the restructuring of this debt, and the extinguishment of this debt in July 2002.
Page 25 of 36
Minority interest in loss of subsidiary was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to none for the same period in 2002. The minority interest was recorded for approximately one month (until the HAXS Merger) in 2001. Subsequent to the HAXS Merger, the Company owned 100% of the Healthaxis.com subsidiary and, therefore, no subsequent minority interest was recorded.
Gain from discontinued operations relates to the operations of the disposed UICI Outsourcing segment. The gain was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $850,000 for the same period in 2002. The reduction was due to declining revenue from UICI from 2001 and cancellation of the Information Technology Services Agreement with UICI, effective June 11, 2002.
Loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $3.6 million in 2002 includes the impairment of goodwill and customer base attributable to the disposal of the Outsourcing segment. There were no similar charges in 2001.
Gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.7 million was recorded as an extraordinary gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as the result of restructuring the convertible debentures in January 2001. A gain of $16.4 million was recorded in the comparable period in 2002 as the result of the extinguishment of these debentures in July 2002, as further described under the caption Recent Developments Extinguishment of Convertible Debt above.
Cumulative effect of accounting change of $6.7 million was recorded as a result of the Companys adoption SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed a transitional goodwill impairment test, which resulted in an impairment charge of $6.7 million related to the Web Technologies operating segment. The impairment charge is shown as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of January 1, 2002. No such charge was recorded in the comparable period in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General. A major objective of Healthaxis is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund growth and meet all cash requirements with cash and short-term equivalents on hand plus funds generated from operating cash flow. Our cash balances since January 2001 for selected dates were as follows:
December 31, 2001 | - - | $17.2 million |
March 31, 2001 | - - | $12.0 million |
June 30, 2001 | - - | $12.2 million |
September 30, 2001 | - - | $12.3 million |
December 31, 2001 | - - | $13.1 million |
March 31, 2002 | - - | $12.6 million |
June 30, 2002 | - - | $18.7 million |
September 30, 2002 | - - | $12.6 million |
In the second quarter of 2001, Healthaxis received a $2.0 million lump sum payment from Digital Insurance. In the fourth quarter of 2001, Healthaxis sold its building in Pennsylvania for a net cash amount of $2.6 million with an additional $180,000 due upon final tax filings. In the second quarter of 2002, Healthaxis received a net lump sum payment of $6.4 million from UICI, related to the early termination of the Information Technology Services Agreement with UICI. In the third quarter of 2002, Healthaxis paid $4.0 million cash, along with other consideration, for the early extinguishment of its convertible debentures.
With the Companys net receipt of $6.4 million cash from UICI in the second quarter of 2002, the Company was able to convert a declining and uncertain revenue stream into current cash. Because the Companys revenue from the agreement with UICI was based upon the Companys cost (including certain fixed overhead) plus 10%, the future impact on cash flows will be a reduction of cash generated from operations. The impact on cash generated from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 would have been approximately $3.7 million had the transaction occurred on December 31, 2001. The impact to both cash and operations is greater than 10% of the revenue lost due to the fact that certain of the Companys fixed overhead costs were includable under the cost plus 10% arrangement, but were not eliminated as a result of the termination. There can be no assurances of the impact of the termination of the UICI Agreement on the Companys future cash generated or used in operations, or in the Companys results of operations.
On July 31, 2002, the Company closed a transaction in which the holders of its 2% Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $27.5 million exchanged their debentures for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and a cash payment of $4.0 million. The debentures would have matured in full in September 2005. By completing this transaction, the Company was able to extinguish all of its long-term debt. This transaction is further described under the caption Extinguishment of Convertible Debt above.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, Healthaxis reported a use of cash from operations totaling $1.6 million. We expect our current cash reserves and the cash generated by future operations to be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Funding operations on a longer-term basis will depend upon the Companys ability to continue controlling costs, maintaining its existing customer relationships, and generating new revenues. The Companys operating cost structure is predominantly personnel and human resource related. The Companys November 2002 cost reduction initiative, which consists of a reduction in the Companys labor force, an across-the-board reduction in salary levels, and planned reductions in certain operating and overhead expenses, reflects managements continuing drive to control costs. While the cost reduction initiative will result in a 2002 fourth quarter charge due to severance expenses related to terminated employees, the cost reduction initiative is designed to save significant expenses in 2003. With regard to maintaining cash flow from current customers, the Company is dependent on a small number of clients to generate a significant amount of the annual and quarterly revenues. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, our four largest
Page 27 of 36
customers accounted for 59% of revenues from continuing operations. Further, one of these clients, American Administrative Group, Inc. (AAG), is currently operating under a temporary arrangement while we and AAG continue to negotiate a definitive agreement. While we expect that a definitive agreement will be executed by the end of 2002, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be reached with AAG. The loss of one or more of our key customers could have a material negative impact on our operating cash flow. We believe that the relationships with our customers are positive. Our plans for generating new revenues are based upon using the Companys direct sales force in combination with strategic partners to pursue new sales opportunities. The direct sales force is specifically targeting third party administrators, small to medium size insurance payers and managed care organizations, health and welfare plans (i.e. union organizations) and state and federal governments as the principal markets. We believe that Healthaxis offers competitive, and competitively priced, products and services in all of these markets. However, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in achieving the goal of revenue growth. If we are unsuccessful in decreasing our costs or increasing revenue, then external funds may become necessary to support the Companys business operations. There can be no assurance that under then-current conditions such funds would be available or, if available, would not significantly dilute shareholders interests or returns.
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1.4 as compared to cash used of $2.4 million for the same period in 2001. The net change was primarily the result of the savings realized from the restructuring plan implemented in May 2001, and a one-time acceleration of cash collections from trade receivables related to the termination of the Information Technology Services Agreement with UICI. Healthaxis generated cash flow from the UICI Agreement of $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2002. With the termination of the Agreement, such cash flow will not be available to the Company in future operations and will increase its dependence upon current cash reserves until the operating cash flow can be replaced from new sources.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1.2 million as compared to $2.3 million for the comparable period in 2001. The reduced cash expenditure was primarily the result of reductions in expenditures for capitalized software and contract costs totaling $898,000.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.1 million as compared to cash used of $229,000 for the comparable period in 2001. The increase was due to the one time payment of $6.4 million, net of transaction costs, received from UICI as a result of the termination of the Agreement described further under Recent Developments Termination of the Information Technology Services Agreement with UICI above, offset by $4.0 million paid to the convertible debenture holders as described further under Extinguishment of Convertible Debt above.
Obligations: Healthaxis 2% convertible debentures in the principal amount of $27.5 million were extinguished in July 2002 as described under Extinguishment of Convertible Debt above. The Company now has no long-term debt outstanding.
Healthaxis has certain capital and operating lease commitments over the next five years. These leases are primarily for office space and data processing equipment. The Company has no other significant cash commitments, other than the day to day operations of the business. Some of the Healthaxis applications will require modification in order to achieve or maintain compliance with HIPAA. The Company does not anticipate these expenditures to be significant, and expects to be able to pass through some of the costs to its clients.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill and
Page 28 of 36
certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Instead, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 (January 1, 2002), annually thereafter and upon the occurrence of any event that indicates potential impairments. The Company will perform its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002.
SFAS No. 142 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures the impairment. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Companys reporting units are generally consistent with the operating segments underlying the segments identified in Note F to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements attached hereto. This methodology differs from the Companys previous policy, as permitted under accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if goodwill is recoverable.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and completion of the required transition testing in the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded as of January 1, 2002 a one-time, non-cash charge of $6,674 to reduce the carrying value of its goodwill. Such charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In calculating the impairment charge, the fair value of the impaired reporting units underlying the segments were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of. The primary objectives of SFAS No. 144 is to develop one accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and to address significant implementation issues. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002. There has been no significant impact resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 144.
Disposal Activities
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, such as restructurings, involuntarily terminating employees and consolidating facilities. SFAS No. 146 excludes from its scope exit and disposal activities conducted in connection with a business combination and those activities to which SFAS No. 143 and 144 are applicable. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Other
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (Statement 145). For most companies, Statement 145 will require gains and losses on extinguishments of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under Statement 4. Extraordinary treatment will be required for certain extinguishments as provided in APB Opinion No. 30. The FASB concluded the application of the criteria in Opinion 30 to debt extinguishment transactions would seldom, if ever, result in extraordinary item classification of the gain or loss associated with the extinguishment. One of the Boards objectives in rescinding Statement 4 was to distinguish transactions that are part of a companys recurring operations from those that are unusual or infrequent or that meet the criteria for classification as extraordinary items. Upon adoption, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria of Opinion 30 for such
Page 29 of 36
classification should be reclassified to conform with the provisions of Statement 145. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. In addition to numerous technical corrections in various areas, Statement 145 also amends Statement 13 to require certain modifications to capital leases be treated as a sale-leaseback and modifies the accounting for sub-leases when the original lessee remains a secondary obligor (or guarantor). The Company has not completed the evaluation of the extraordinary gains from debt extinguishment to determine whether the amounts would be reclassified upon adoption. Other than potential reclassifications as discussed we do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to short-term investments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. The primary objective of its investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. Due to the nature of the Companys investments, it believes that there is no material risk exposure.
The Companys cash equivalents and other investment instruments are exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income. These instruments are not entered into for trading purposes. Healthaxis does not expect its interest income to be significantly affected by a sudden change in market interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of our evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management is of the opinion that no currently pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On July 31, 2002 we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State designating 23,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On that date, we issued 23,500 shares of Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $23.5 million, and made a $4.0 million cash payment, to the holders of $27.5 million of our 2% convertible debentures in order to cancel such debentures. The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.625, which conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The creation and issuance of the Preferred Stock could have a material impact upon the rights of the holders of our registered securities because, as more fully described in the definitive documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Preferred Stock is senior to our common stock and holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to (i) receive preferential, cumulative dividends at a rate of 2% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash or shares of our common stock, (ii) receive a liquidation preference equal to the greater of the stated value of the Preferred Stock plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends, or a pro rata distribution of the assets of the Company available for distribution to all of its stockholders, and (iii) redemption of their shares of Preferred Stock in situations which are within the control of the Company.
The Preferred Stock generally does not have any voting rights. However, the holders of Preferred Stock have the right to vote separately as a class in a number of circumstances specified in the Certificate of Designation, when we propose to take certain actions, including without limitation paying dividends on shares of common stock and entering into any transaction to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, or entering into some reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, or reclassifications, recapitalizations or other changes to our capital stock. Finally, the Company is obligated to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable to the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock, the sale of such shares of common stock or the possibility of such a sale could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
Not applicable
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Item 5. Other Information.
On November 12, 2002, Healthaxis began a cost reduction initiative designed to more closely align expenses with revenues and enhance the Companys operating performance. The cost reduction initiative consists of both a reduction in the Companys labor force and an across-the-board reduction in salary levels, as well as planned reductions in certain operating and overhead expenses. The reduction in labor force is scheduled to be effective in mid-November and the Company expects to record severance expenses related to the terminated
Page 31 of 36
employees in the 4th quarter. The reduction in salary levels is expected to be effective January 1, 2003. In total, the cost reduction initiative is designed to save in excess of $5 million in expenses in 2003, however there can be no assurances that the implementation of this initiative will result in the full amount of expected savings.
Management believes that the cost reduction initiative serves not only the Companys financial goals, but is also consistent with its strategic business goals. Healthaxis has spent significant resources in the past two years developing certain products and functionality. That development effort is now substantially complete and the level of human resources necessary to sustain the effort is no longer required. The Company will now focus on selling these capabilities to new customers, as well as using them to strengthen relationships with existing customers. In addition, the Company has, in recent periods, sharpened its focus on more specific target markets with more specific product offerings, the effect of which has been to reduce its human resource requirements. Hence, management believes that its reduced labor force will be able to effectively serve its existing customer base, while also focusing on new market opportunities.
