Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands except share and per share data)
June 30, 2003
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 six-month period ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
General
Healthaxis is a technology and business process services firm committed to providing innovative and configurable web-based connectivity and applications solutions for health benefit distribution and administration. These solutions, which are comprised of software products and related services, are designed to assist health insurance payers, government agencies, third party administrators and health and welfare plans in providing enhanced services to members, employees, employers and providers through the application of Healthaxis flexible technology to legacy systems, either on a fully integrated or on an Application Service Provider (ASP) basis. These technology solutions are complimented by Healthaxis Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services, including mailroom, scan, data capture, and claims pre-adjudication services. These services are offered to its technology clients and on a stand-alone 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.
Reclassifications of prior period amounts
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation or in accordance with applicable accounting requirements.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted loss 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
Page 6 of 34
Companys convertible preferred stock into the computation of diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, these items have not been included in the computation.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company selected an accounting policy which requires only the excess of the market value of its common stock over the exercise price of options granted to be recorded as compensation expense (intrinsic method). Pro forma information regarding net loss is required as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method. Pro forma net loss applicable to the option granted is not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net loss for future years. The fair value for these options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock compensation determined under the intrinsic method is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.
Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the date of grants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Companys net loss and net loss per common share would have been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

Note B Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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 (SFAS 145). For most companies, SFAS 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 SFAS 4. 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 will be reclassified to conform with the provisions of SFAS 145. The provisions of this statement related to the rescission of SFAS 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 2003, and anticipates the reclassification of extraordinary gains reported in prior periods to be included in the gain or loss from operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146) requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 29, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Page 7 of 34
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). This statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments, including mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Note C Significant Customer Concentrations
For the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2003, four customers (including UICI) accounted for $2,963 (54%) and $5,870 (55%), respectively, of the Companys total revenues. At June 30, 2003, one customer accounted for $1,045 of the Companys accounts receivable.
Note D Contracts in Progress
The Company uses contract accounting for certain contracts where significant software modification is performed or where services are performed that are essential to the functionality of the delivered software. Generally, contracts that include significant software modification are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. Contracts with significant customer acceptance provisions are recognized using the completed contract method upon achieving customer acceptance of the completed project. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had one contract in progress under each method.
The Company has accounted for activities under a government related contract on the percentage of completion method. Due to the relative uncertainty of the profit margin to be achieved from the contract, the Company has used a zero margin approach for recording revenues for this contract. As of June 30, 2003, costs, earnings and billings to date on the contract are as follows:
Costs incurred on contract |
$ | 1,950 | ||
Estimated earnings |
| |||
Revenues recognized to date |
1,950 | |||
Less billings to date |
(1,109 | ) | ||
Net unbilled receivables on contract in progress |
$ | 841 | ||
The Company has accounted for activities under a second government related contract under the completed contract method. As of June 30, 2003, costs and billings to date on the contract are as follows:
Costs incurred on contract |
$ | 176 | ||
Less billings to date |
(550 | ) | ||
Billings on uncompleted contract in excess of costs |
$ | (374 | ) | |
Net unbilled receivables and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs totaling $467 are presented as costs in excess of billings.
Page 8 of 34
Note E Other Liabilities
Other liabilities totaled $1,387 and $1,085 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively and consists of contingent tax liabilities. In June 2003, the Company received a tax refund in the amount of $324 that was recorded as a liability pending final resolution of the matter.
Note F Related Party Transactions
The Company conducts business with a major shareholder, UICI. At June 30, 2003, UICI owned approximately 46% 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. UICI also owns 1,424 shares of the Companys Series A convertible preferred stock that are convertible into 542,477 common shares.
For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, UICI and its subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for $487 (9%) and $404 (9%), respectively, of the Companys revenues from continuing operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, UICI and its subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for $942 (9%), and $1,247 (13%), respectively, of the Companys revenues from continuing operations. As of June 30, 2003, Healthaxis had accounts receivable due from UICI and its subsidiaries and affiliates totaling $137.
The Company previously provided services to a number of UICI subsidiaries and affiliates pursuant to the UICI Information Technology Services Agreement. In June 2002, the Company and UICI terminated this agreement. Notwithstanding this termination, the Company continues to provide products and services to UICI.
Revenues from UICI related to discontinued operations totaled $3,578, and $8,078, for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively (See Note H).
Note G Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
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. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed a transitional goodwill impairment test. This test resulted in an impairment charge totaling $6,674. The impairment charge is shown as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of January 1, 2002.
Note H Discontinued Operations
On June 11, 2002, the Company 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 recorded the net proceeds, $6,359, as a contribution of capital from a significant shareholder. A loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the amount of $3,564 was recorded as a result of the termination. The loss consisted of impairment charges for goodwill and customer base totaling $484 and $3,080, respectively. The impairment charges result from a write off of the entire amount of goodwill and customer base attributable to the Agreement.
Page 9 of 34
The Company 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.
The operating results of the discontinued UICI Outsourcing segment for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2002 are as follows:

Note I Segment Reporting
As of January 1, 2003, the Companys operating segments were:
| Technology & Operations - provides web-enabled systems for enrollment, administration and processing of health insurance claims on an ASP basis, connectivity platforms and solutions for self service (broker, employer, employee 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. | ||
| BPO Services Group - provides electronic data capture, imaging, storage and retrieval of health insurance claims, attachments and other correspondence, and claims pre-adjudication services. |
Prior to 2003, the Company maintained three operating business segments. On January 1, 2003, two of the Companys three business units (formerly known as Web Connectivity Products and Benefit Administration and Claims Processing Systems) were consolidated into one reporting unit named Technology & Operations. Additional segment reporting changes include a change in the classification of sales and marketing expenses and a change in the classification of other operating expenses. Sales and marketing is included as a component of Corporate Overhead, not allocated to the reporting units as in the past. Certain operating expenses that were previously allocated to all reporting units are now included solely in Technology & Operations. These costs are associated with operating the Healthaxis Customer Care unit and other customer security and infrastructure issues. All segment information has been restated for prior periods to conform with this new presentation.
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 payers, government agencies, third party administrators and health and welfare plans.
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), as defined, is the primary
Page 10 of 34
liquidity measurement used by management to make decisions regarding the segments. EBITDA, as defined by the Company, also excludes restructuring and impairment, severance and non-cash stock based compensation charges (EBITDA As Defined). However, EBITDA As Defined 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 As Defined 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. Management believes that the EBITDA As Defined measurement is useful in monitoring basic cash flow generated and used in the Companys core operating activities, and in monitoring 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, human resources, sales, marketing, and other expenses. Operating income does not include any cost allocations for corporate overhead. Assets are not allocated to business units for internal reporting purposes and are therefore not included in the segment information below.

Overview
Healthaxis is a technology and business process services firm committed to providing innovative and configurable web-based connectivity and applications solutions for health benefit distribution and administration. These solutions, which are comprised of software products and related services, are designed to assist health insurance payers, government agencies, third party administrators (TPA) and health and welfare plans in providing enhanced services to members, employees, employers and providers through the application of Healthaxis flexible technology to legacy systems, either on a fully integrated or on an Application Service Provider (ASP) basis. These technology solutions are complimented by Healthaxis Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services, including mailroom, scan, data capture, and claims pre-adjudication services. These services are offered to its technology clients and on a stand-alone basis. Healthaxis believes that its solutions enable a client to improve their productivity and reduce their administrative costs, enhance their customer service, grow their revenues and improve their profitability.
Revenue Model. Healthaxis derives revenue from a number of sources. Set forth below is a description of our revenues generated by each of our suite of products and solutions.
Revenues generated by our benefits administration and claims processing systems are either transaction based or derived from providing professional services. These revenues are included in our Technology & Operations business segment. Transaction revenue is a combination of a per-employee-per-month fee for the use of our proprietary applications and a per document fee for the printing and mailing of system output (benefit checks, explanations of benefits and letters). The transaction revenue is based on an ASP model, where we host the hardware and software and perform 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.
Revenues generated by our web connectivity (WebAxis) products are derived from licensing our proprietary software products and providing professional services. These revenues are included in our Technology & Operations business segment. The licensing revenue is a combination of per-member-per-month fees and fixed price license fees. Depending upon the contract terms, the fixed price license fees are recognized over a period of
Page 13 of 34
time, or as one-time license fee agreements upon the delivery of the product. Professional service revenue is generated from direct billing for our staff time. These billings generally are associated with customer support. Contracts generally include an up-front payment intended to recoup the start-up costs incurred in setting up a new client. Such fees, along with the associated costs, are generally deferred and recognized over the life of the transaction-based contract.
Revenues included in our BPO Services business segment are 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 recoup 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.
Significant Projects. Our revenue for the remainder of 2003 will be affected by the timing of the acceptance of the web-based administration platform we have been developing for the State of Washington and for the State of Georgia. These contracts are relatively large. Although we receive cash for work stages completed on the State of Georgia contract, we will only recognize revenue and profits from the contract when the contractual obligations are completed and accepted. Revenues from the State of Washington contract are recognized under the percentage of completion method, but we have deferred the recognition of any profits from the contract until the contract is complete. In both cases, it now appears that our customers schedules may result in delays in acceptance. We believed earlier in this year that both of these contracts would be completed by December 31, 2003. However, these delays could push revenue and profit recognition on these contracts into 2004.
November 2002 Cost Reduction Initiative. On November 12, 2002, we began a cost reduction initiative designed to more closely align expenses with revenues and to enhance the Companys operating performance. The cost reduction initiative consisted 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 was effective in mid-November and the reduction in salary levels was effective January 1, 2003.
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. In addition, the Company now outsources portions of its software development work to Satyam Computer Services Ltd., a leading global consulting and IT services company based in India. 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.
Potential Sub-lease of Office Space in Irving, TX. Healthaxis occupies office space in Irving, Texas under agreements that will expire in December 2005. We are currently in discussions with an unrelated third party regarding a potential sub-lease of space subject to the smaller of the two lease agreements (our 7th floor space). The potential sub-lease would also expire in December 2005. The amount remaining to be paid by Healthaxis, under the original lease for the 7th floor space, exceeds the expected amount to be received from the potential sub-lease. We continue to occupy and use the space that would become subject to the potential sub-lease. We currently anticipate that a sub-lease agreement could be entered into in the third quarter of 2003. In connection with this event, we would record an expense related to the difference between the amounts received under the sublease and the amounts paid under our original lease agreement. Currently, we estimate that the amount of the charge will not exceed $225,000.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. During the second quarter of 2003, we wrote-off accounts receivable balances in the amount of $206,000 relating to two former customers. Both of these accounts had been fully reserved in prior periods. At June 30, 2003, our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $37,000. We believe that this reserve is adequate to ensure that accounts receivable are fairly stated.

Technology & Operations
Our Technology & Operations revenue for the second quarter of 2003 increased 22% from the second quarter of 2002. Revenue from the State of Washington contract, which is non-recurring, increased $515,000. Work related to the State of Washington contract started in June 2002. As anticipated, one of our existing customers terminated its use of our claims system in 2003, resulting in a decrease in revenue totaling $407,000. We added another significant claims customer replacing $271,000 of the loss.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 includes new revenue from two existing customers in the amount of $324,000 related to print and distribution services. Prior to 2003, we did not perform print and distribution services for these customers. This added revenue is the direct result of our outsourcing of these services to a third party beginning in the fourth quarter of 2002.
BPO Services (formerly known as Imaging Services Group) BPO Services revenues increased 12% from the second quarter of 2002. In January 2003, we added additional work from an existing customer totaling $149,000. This increase was partially offset as a result of the loss of a smaller customer due to bankruptcy totaling $59,000.
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.

Technology & Operations
Cost of revenues for Technology & Operations decreased 12% from the second quarter of 2002. As a percentage of Technology & Operations revenue, costs decreased from 126% in the 2002 period to 91% in the 2003 period. The decrease is the result of an overall reduction in personnel costs, offset by reduced capitalization and increased costs attributable to print and distribution outsourcing. In November 2002, we implemented a cost reduction initiative that reduced our employee headcount significantly. Across-the-board salary reductions also went into effect, on a company-wide basis, January 1, 2003. As a result, personnel expenses were down $898,000 from the second quarter of 2002. However, some employees were re-assigned to expensable projects from capitalizable development projects, which served to offset the expense savings by $350,000. Subcontractor expenses increased $465,000 as a result of amounts paid to Satyam in connection with our government related projects. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we began the process of outsourcing our print and distribution capabilities to a third party, which increased our costs of revenues in the second quarter of 2003 by approximately $435,000. These additional costs are in lieu of costs previously associated with in-house employees and other operating expenses. The three months ended June 30, 2002 also includes impairment charges related to software and equipment in the amount of $715,000 that are non-recurring.
BPO Services (formerly known as Imaging Services Group)
The cost of revenue for BPO Services decreased 18% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of an employee headcount reduction in the Imaging Support group from twelve to eight. This reduction was part of the November 2002 staff reduction. Across-the-board salary reductions also went into effect, on a company-wide basis, on January 1, 2003. Personnel cost reductions from this BPO Services group accounted for $58,000 of the cost decrease from 2002. The second quarter of 2002 also includes a bad debt charge in the amount of $50,000 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2003.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related benefits, as well as promotional costs such as direct mailing campaigns, trade shows and media advertising.

This reduction, combined with the 2003 salary reductions accounts for approximately $233,000 of the cost decrease from the second quarter of 2002. Non-cash stock based compensation expense decreased $88,000 due to the gradual decrease of expense resulting from the remeasurement of stock options at the time of the 2001 Healthaxis merger.

Our Technology & Operations revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased 7% from the six months ended June 30, 2002. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 included $420,000 related to the recognition of the final portion of the UICI web technology perpetual license fee, which was non-recurring. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes $884,000 related to the perpetual license fee from the State of Washington, which is also non-recurring. As anticipated, one of our existing customers terminated its use of our claims system in 2003, resulting in a $776,000 decrease from 2002, but we added another significant claims customer replacing $490,000 of the revenue loss. Revenue from Digital Insurance continued to decline, resulting in a decrease of $322,000.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes new revenue from two existing customers in the amount of $664,000 related to print and distribution services. Prior to 2003, we did not perform print and distribution services for these customers. This added revenue is the direct result of our outsourcing of these services to a third party beginning in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Cost of revenues for Technology & Operations decreased 11% from 2002. As a percentage of Technology & Operations revenue, costs decreased from 112% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, to 94% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is the result of an overall reduction in personnel costs, offset by reduced capitalization and added costs attributable to print and distribution outsourcing. In November 2002, we implemented a cost reduction initiative which reduced the employee headcount significantly. Across-the-board salary reductions also went into effect, on a company-wide basis, on January 1, 2003. As a result, personnel expenses decreased $1.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. However, some employees were re-

assigned to expensable projects from capitalizable development projects, which served to offset the expense savings by $517,000. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we began outsourcing our print and distribution capabilities to a third party. The increase in costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 attributable to the outsourcing of these capabilities was approximately $904,000. These additional costs are in lieu of costs previously associated with in-house employees and other operating expenses. This transition necessitated part of the reduction in force that occurred in November 2002. The six months ended June 30, 2002, included non-recurring impairment charges related to software and equipment totaling $715,000.
BPO Services (formerly known as Imaging Services Group)
The cost of BPO Services revenue decreased 16% from 2002 primarily as a result of an employee headcount reduction in the Imaging Support group from twelve to eight. This reduction was part of the November 2002 staff reduction. Across-the-board salary reductions also went into effect, on a company-wide basis, on January 1, 2003. Personnel cost reductions from this BPO Services group alone accounted for $147,000 of the cost decrease from 2002. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets decreased $180,000 from the 2002 period due to a significant reduction of capital expenditures in 2001 and 2002.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related benefits, as well as promotional costs such as direct mailing campaigns, trade shows and media advertising.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Cash Resources
One of our major objectives 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. We believe that our current cash reserves and the cash generated by future operations will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Funding operations on a longer-term basis will depend upon our ability to generate new revenues, continue controlling costs, and maintain existing customer relationships. Our operating cost structure is predominantly personnel and human resource related. The November 2002 cost reduction initiative, which consisted of a reduction in Healthaxis labor force, an across-the-board reduction in salary levels, and reductions in certain operating and overhead expenses, reflects our continuing drive to control costs.
Analysis of Cash Flows
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $554,000 as compared to cash provided by operations in the amount of $172,000 for the same period in 2002. Our 2002 cash flows from operations includes cash flows from both continuing and discontinued operations. During the first six months of 2002, cash flows from the discontinued UICI Outsourcing business unit was approximately $3.6 million. Excluding the cash flow from this discontinued business unit, our cash burn from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $3.4 million. Our use of cash in 2003 approximated our EBITDA As Defined loss from operations for the first six months of 2003 (See Note I in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). This represents a significant improvement in operating cash flows, and is primarily the result of the November 2002 Cost Reduction Initiative, combined with higher revenues in 2003.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $648,000 compared to the same period in 2002. A reduction in capitalized developed software and contract start-up accounts for $642,000 of the decrease. Most of the Healthaxis software products are in a mature stage of production and sale. This is a change from prior years in which significant development costs were incurred in an effort to get new products to market. The amount of internal software development costs capitalized during the second quarter of 2003 ($116,000) relate almost entirely to upgrades and enhancement to the Insur-Claim software product. These upgrades and enhancement add new functionality to our existing claim system that are necessary to keep up with changing market and customer demands.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $237,000 and relates entirely to the required semi-annual payment of dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock made in January

2003. The dividend payments are due semi-annually. The next dividend payment, paid in July 2003, was also made in cash. The figure for the six months ended June 30, 2002, includes a payment from UICI related to the termination of the UICI Information Technology Services Agreement in the amount of $6.4 million, net of transaction costs.
Preferred Stock
In 1999, Healthaxis issued 2% convertible debentures in the amount of $27.5 million. These debentures, as amended, were due 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. On July 31, 2002 we completed a transaction providing for the cancellation of our $27.5 million 2% convertible debentures in exchange for issuance to the debenture holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) and the payment of $4.0 million cash. The Preferred Stock has a stated value of $23.5 million and is convertible into shares of Healthaxis common stock at a conversion price of $2.625. The terms of the Preferred Stock provide that cumulative dividends be paid at the rate of 2% per year, payable semi-annually. In general, we may choose to pay the dividends either in cash or by issuing shares of common stock, although in some circumstances we are required to pay cash dividends. The terms of the Preferred Stock provide that in some situations the holders of the Preferred Stock can force Healthaxis to redeem, or buy back, their shares. This redemption may adversely affect Healthaxis, because it may not have the cash necessary to effect the redemption or because cash that could have been used to make investments in Healthaxis business will instead be paid to the holders of our Preferred Stock. While we believe that, currently, there is no cause for redemption, the situations in which Healthaxis can be required to redeem shares of Preferred Stock involve situations where specific events or transactions are effected by Healthaxis without, generally, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 60% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, or Healthaxis is found to have made an incorrect representation or warranty in the Certificate of Designation or other documents executed in connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock. We believe that the occurrence of the situations where Healthaxis can be required to redeem shares of Preferred Stock is within our control. The Preferred Stock also contains, among other things, provisions providing the holders a preference in the payment of dividends and also a liquidation preference equal to at least the stated value of the Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. 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 connection with some matters.
Lease and Other Commitments
Healthaxis also has certain capital and operating lease commitments over the next five years. These leases are primarily for office space and data processing equipment. Healthaxis has no other significant cash commitments other than those required by the normal day-to-day operations of the business. Some of Healthaxis applications will require modification in order to achieve or maintain compliance with HIPAA. We do not anticipate these expenditures to be significant, and expect to be able to pass through some of the costs to clients.
Other Liquidity Matters
On August 19, 2003, Healthaxis will hold a special meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon an amendment to the Healthaxis articles of incorporation that would permit the board of directors, at its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of not less than 1 for 5 and not more than 1 for 15. The implementation of a reverse stock split is also subject to the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 60% of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In consideration of the affirmative vote of the holders of the requisite percentage of Series A Preferred Stock, we have agreed to pay a consent fee of 1 % of the Series A Preferred Stocks liquidation value. This payment will become due upon approval of the reverse stock split by the common shareholders.
We have had limited discussions with UICI, our largest shareholder, regarding the possibility of repurchasing all or a portion of the shares of Healthaxis common stock held by UICI. No agreements or
Page 22 of 34
understandings have been reached with UICI as to definitive terms, and we have not entered into any letters of intent or written documents reflecting any such terms. While we may continue discussions with UICI, there can be no assurance that any agreements or understandings will be reached. We may use cash for a portion of any potential purchase of these shares. We may also enter into a note payable for a portion of this potential transaction. Any such note could have a significant impact on our future cash flows. Inasmuch as the repurchase of any shares of common stock would require the prior consent of the holders of at least 60% of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we have also had some discussions with our largest preferred shareholder regarding the terms under which they would be willing to provide such a consent. They have indicated that their consent would require that we make one or more concessions to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which could include cash payments. No agreements or understandings have been reached with the preferred shareholders as to definitive terms, and we have not entered into any letters of intent or written documents reflecting any such terms. While we may continue discussions with the preferred shareholders, there can be no assurance that any agreements or understandings will be reached. In the event that an agreement with either party is reached, our cash balances could be negatively affected.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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 (SFAS 145). For most companies, SFAS 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 SFAS 4. 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 will be reclassified to conform with the provisions of SFAS 145. The provisions of this statement related to the rescission of SFAS 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 2003, and anticipates the reclassification of extraordinary gains reported in prior periods to be included in the gain or loss from operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146) requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 29, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). This statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments, including mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

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, management believes that there is no material risk exposure.
Healthaxis cash equivalents and other investment instruments are exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect its interest income. These instruments are not entered into for trading purposes. Management does not expect the Companys interest income or expense to be significantly affected by a sudden change in market interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2003, 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 the applicable provisions of rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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.
