Healthaxis Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008
Note A – Description of business and basis of presentation
Unaudited Financial Information
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Healthaxis Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Healthaxis,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), 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 of America, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Earnings Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed using only the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed to show the dilutive effect, if any, of convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method based on the average market price of the stock during the respective periods. In the periods presented, the Company reported a net loss and the effect of including the convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants in the computation of diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive for each of those periods, thus these items have not been included in the computation. Following is a summary of these potentially dilutive securities:

Equity Compensation
The Company accounts for equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). The Company uses stock options and restricted stock as a method of compensation for its employees and directors. While no stock options were granted or vested in 2007 or 2008, the Company has granted and vested restricted stock during those periods. The value of restricted stock is calculated based on the trading value of the stock as quoted on NASDAQ on the date of grant. Shares of stock granted to directors vest over the calendar year of service, while shares granted to employees vest either over a specified period of time or based on certain performance criteria. Additionally, in March 2008, the Company entered into an Employment Separation Agreement with one of its officers whereby 34,750 shares of restricted stock previously granted to the officer became fully vested. The Company recorded a charge of $53,000 in March 2008 to reflect the immediate vesting of these shares. The Company recognized total compensation expense related to the vesting
6
of restricted stock of approximately $43,000 and $160,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively, and $184,000 and $191,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. All shares of restricted stock granted by the Company vest upon a change of control.
Note B – Significant Customer Concentrations
For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, three customers accounted for $2.3 million (62%) and $2.5 million (66%), respectively, of the Company’s total revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, these three customers accounted for $7.2 million (62%), and $7.8 million (65%), respectively, of the Company’s total revenues. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these three customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as shown in the table below.

Customer B |

Customer C |
| 14 | % | 9 | % |
Note C – Related Party Transactions
The Company is a party to a Remote Resourcing Agreement with Healthcare BPO Partners L.P., a company affiliated with a significant shareholder. Healthcare BPO Partners, based in Jaipur, India, provides personnel and infrastructure that is utilized by the Company to provide business process outsourcing services and other software development and technical support services to support the Company’s operations. The resources provided by Healthcare BPO Partners supplement the Company’s existing wholly-owned operations in Utah, Texas and Jamaica. As a part of the Resourcing Agreement, Healthcare BPO Partners also provided data center hosting services, at a Vienna, Virginia facility, to Healthaxis during 2006 and through September 12, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the Company incurred costs of approximately $129,000 and $220,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the Company incurred costs of approximately $382,000 and $784,000, respectively, related to the Resourcing Agreement. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had accounts payable to Healthcare BPO Partners of approximately $129,000 and $84,000, respectively.
Note D – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48.
In September 2006, FASB Statement 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) was issued. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value by providing a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets and liabilities. SFAS 157, which does not require any new fair value measurements, clarifies the application of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The effective date
7
for the Company is January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2007, FASB Statement 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) was issued. The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 141(R) presents several significant changes from current accounting practices for business combinations, most notably the following: revised definition of a business; a shift from the purchase method to the acquisition method; expensing of acquisition-related transaction costs; recognition of contingent consideration and contingent assets and liabilities at fair value; and capitalization of acquired in-process research and development. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We will adopt this statement for acquisitions consummated after its effective date.
Note E – Lines of Credit
On April 16, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”) with Silicon Valley Bank. As a result of the amendment, certain covenants were modified. Based on the calculation of the borrowing base as of September 30, 2008, we would have been eligible to draw up to approximately $1.7 million under the revolving line, of which $1.4 million had been drawn as of that date.
Note F – Pending Merger with BPO Management Services, Inc.
On September 5, 2008, Healthaxis entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with BPO Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BPOMS”), which was then amended on October 21, 2008 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), the Company will issue shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”) and shares of a new series of preferred stock, designated as Healthaxis Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), in exchange for the outstanding stock and certain warrants held by BPOMS securityholders (the “Merger Stock Issuance”). The Company has also agreed with BPOMS that all BPOMS options and certain warrants will henceforth be exercisable for shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Based on the fixed exchange ratios contained in the Merger Agreement, it is expected that immediately following the closing of the Merger, current BPOMS securityholders will own approximately 75% of the Company and current Healthaxis securityholders will own approximately 25% of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis. Following the Merger, current BPOMS preferred stockholders will through their ownership of Healthaxis Series B Preferred Stock hold a liquidation preference of approximately $24.4 million ($1.155 per share). The surviving public company will be re-named “BPO Management Services, Inc.”
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including, among others, the completion of certain pre-merger steps by both Healthaxis and BPOMS and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of both Healthaxis and BPOMS.
Note G – Goodwill
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment review in the fourth quarter of each year based upon an October 1 date or when events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. As of September 30, 2008, management reviewed the carrying value of goodwill as required because of the pending transaction with BPO Management Services, Inc. and determined that goodwill impairment was probable and reasonably estimable. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $7.4 million as of September 30, 2008, which represents management’s preliminary estimate pending final outside valuation of the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report, including statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” concerning the Company’s financial position and liquidity, results of operations, prospects for future growth, and other matters are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified with words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “target,” “designed,” “on track,” “comfortable with,” “optimistic” and other similar expressions, and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Overview
Healthaxis Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation, which was organized in 1982. Healthaxis’ common stock trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “HAXS.” The operations of Healthaxis are conducted through its subsidiary, Healthaxis, Ltd. Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, all references in this document to the “Company,” “Healthaxis,” “we,” “our” or “us” include Healthaxis Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. Healthaxis maintains a website at www.healthaxis.com. The Healthaxis Code of Conduct can be found on the Healthaxis website. Information found on the Healthaxis website is not a part of this report.
For the third quarter of 2008, the Company reported revenue of $3.7 million and an operating loss of $7.7 million, of which $7.4 million was due to the impairment of goodwill. Revenue was approximately $177,000 less than the third quarter of 2007 and the operating loss for the third quarter of 2008 was comparable to the operating loss for the third quarter of 2007, but for the negative impact of the $7.4 million goodwill impairment charge. Year-to-date, revenues of $11.6 million decreased $450,000 over last year and the operating loss of $8.2 million was an increase of $7.5 million over 2007, due to the impairment of goodwill previously noted.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those which are most important to the financial statement presentation and that require the most difficult, subjective complex judgments. There have been no changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies as described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, other than as described in Note D to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues were approximately $177,000 lower in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Professional services revenues were $156,000 lower than the prior year period as the combined effect of (a) customers’ cutting their budgets and reducing their spending in light of current economic conditions and (b) in 2007 we generated professional services revenue supporting a customer that became insolvent in 2008 and is no longer a customer. BPO services revenues increased approximately $52,000 as revenue generated by our new initiative to provide BPO services in accounts payable outsourcing more than offset other BPO services revenue declines resulting from fewer paper-based healthcare claims to process as a result of the combined impact of fewer lives on our systems from some existing customers and a continuing shift in the healthcare industry from paper claims to higher volumes of electronic claims. Application Service Provider (“ASP”) license fees decreased approximately $47,000, primarily because our customers experienced a net loss in the number of lives they service. Transaction fees increased slightly due to an increase in claims-related print and distribution activity. A customer representing approximately twenty percent of Healthaxis’ revenue has informally notified us that they will not be renewing their contract when it expires in the first quarter of 2009. Thus far we have not experienced a reduction in our revenues resulting from the indicated transition away from our services, but may begin to see a decline in the fourth quarter of 2008. The timing and amount of the decline is currently uncertain because it is dependent on the customer’s transition timeline and ability to meet their milestones.
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 and are partially reduced by the capitalization of certain costs incurred (primarily employee compensation) for new customer implementations and software development projects. Cost of revenues increased $19,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 resulting from an increase in employee benefits costs and other variable expense items. Cost of revenues also contains non-cash equity compensation of $12,000 resulting from the vesting of restricted stock in the 2008 period, versus $10,000 in the 2007 period.

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. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $145,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007. This decrease was due to lower personnel costs and the related reduction in benefits and travel related to changes in the sales and marketing team over the past year as well as reduced spending for marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses include executive management, accounting, legal and human resources compensation and related benefits, as well as expenditures for applicable overhead costs. These expenses decreased $98,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007. This is primarily due to a decrease in total professional service fees from auditors, attorneys, and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting costs. Non-cash equity compensation recorded in general and administrative expense was $31,000 for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $32,000 for the third quarter of 2007.
Goodwill impairment was $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to no such charge for the 2007 period. As of September 30, 2008, management reviewed the carrying value of goodwill and determined that the fair value of goodwill, based on the Company’s stock price and as required because of the pending transaction with BPO Management Services, Inc., was less than the carrying value. In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Company thus recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Interest and other income, net decreased $22,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007 due primarily to lower balances of cash.
Interest expense decreased $28,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007. Interest was less due to payments on the equipment line of credit, and by reduced interest on the prior note payable to HealthMarkets due to the declining principal balance.
Provision for income taxes was $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a cost of $3,000 in the same quarter of 2007. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company is accruing an estimate of the tax due under the new margin tax enacted by the State of Texas.

Revenues were approximately $452,000 lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. BPO services revenues decreased approximately $419,000 due to the 2007 mid-year loss of a BPO services customer that was acquired by a larger organization. BPO services revenue generated by our new initiative to provide BPO services in accounts payable outsourcing more than offset other BPO services revenue declines resulting from fewer paper-based healthcare claims to process as a result of the combined impact of fewer lives on our systems from some existing customers and a continuing shift in the healthcare industry from paper claims to higher volumes of electronic claims. Application Service Provider (“ASP”) license fees increased slightly from new service offerings, though in total our customers experienced a net loss in the number of lives they service, while transaction fees decreased approximately $45,000 due to the change in covered lives. Professional services revenue decreased approximately $92,000 as the combined effect of (a) customers’ reducing their spending in light of current economic conditions and (b) in 2007 we generated professional services revenue supporting a customer that became insolvent in 2008 and is no longer a customer. A customer representing approximately twenty percent of Healthaxis’ revenue has informally notified us that they will not be renewing their contract when it expires in the first quarter of 2009. Thus far we have not experienced a reduction in our revenues resulting from the indicated transition away from our services, but may begin to see a decline in the fourth quarter of 2008. The timing and amount of decline is currently uncertain because it is dependent on the customer’s transition timeline and ability to meet their milestones.
Cost of revenues increased $46,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The gross cost of revenue before capitalized costs decreased approximately $310,000 from the 2007 period to the 2008 period which includes a $368,000 reduction in variable labor related to BPO services due to increased efficiency and lower volumes and $112,000 in lower variable costs of printing and postage due to lower transaction fee revenue, partially offset by $95,000 in higher salaries resulting from changes to the organization. These improvements were mostly offset by a reduction of costs that are capitalized for accounting purposes. For the first nine months of 2008, we capitalized approximately $355,000 less in cost of revenues than in the first nine months of 2007 because in the prior year period we were in the middle of a significant new customer implementation that required a significant proportion of our resources. Significantly less time has been spent on implementations during 2008. Non-cash equity compensation resulting from the vesting of restricted stock recorded in cost of revenue was $56,000 in the 2008 period versus $55,000 in the 2007 period.

General and administrative expenses decreased $248,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Cash Resources
At September 30, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2.2 million compared to $2.6 million at December 31, 2007. The sources and uses of cash during the first nine months of 2008 are described more fully in “Analysis of Cash Flows” below. We believe that the Company will maintain sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next 12 months.
Analysis of Cash Flows
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $341,000 as compared to $444,000 for the same period in 2007. The improvement was primarily the result of changes in working capital partially offset by the net loss adjusted for non-cash items including goodwill
13
impairment, depreciation, and restricted stock. Changes in working capital accounted for a $490,000 use of cash in the 2008 period as opposed to a $723,000 use of cash for the comparable period in 2007.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $378,000 as compared to $675,000 for the same period in 2007. The Company’s investing activities continue to be primarily in the areas of developing software enhancements, contract start-up activities and acquisition of property, equipment and software. Capitalized contract start-up costs decreased, as significantly more time was spent in the 2007 period related to a significant customer implementation and the related costs were required to be capitalized. Purchases of property, equipment and software and internally developed software were higher in 2008 due to normal replacement of servers and other equipment, combined with more work performed on enhancements to our internally developed software.
Cash generated in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $289,000 while cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $113,000. The amounts for both periods are primarily borrowings on bank lines of credit, partially offset by payments on those bank lines and the note payable to HealthMarkets.
