NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Health
Grades, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods reported herein. Operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Health Grades, Inc. is a healthcare information services company. The Company
grades, or provides the means to assess and compare the quality or
qualifications of, various types of healthcare providers. The Company also
provides profile information for a variety of providers and facilities.

The Company makes this information available to consumers, employers and health
plans to assist them in selecting healthcare providers. For consumers, this
information is available free of charge on the Company's website,
www.healthgrades.com. For employers, the Company provides, for a fee, customized
information designed to encourage employees to utilize quality providers, which
can reduce medical benefit costs as well as indirect costs of lost workdays and
productivity. For health plans, the Company provides, for a fee, customized
information designed to assist them in selecting network providers who can
enhance the quality of care for their members.

The Company also offers services to healthcare providers. For providers who have
received high ratings, the Company offers the opportunity to license its ratings
and trademarks and provide assistance in their marketing programs. For providers
who have not received high ratings, the Company offers quality improvement
services designed to identify deficiencies and improve quality. The Company also
provides limited physician practice management services to musculoskeletal
practices under management services agreements that have terms expiring through
September 2002.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

NOTE 2 - SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

Management regularly evaluates the operating performance of the Company by
reviewing results on a product or service provided basis. The Company's
reportable segments are Ratings and Advisory Revenue ("RAR") and Physician
Practice Services ("PPS"). RAR revenue is derived primarily from marketing
arrangements with hospitals and fees related to the licensing of its content
(including set-up fees). PPS revenue is derived primarily from management
services provided to physician practices.

The Company uses net loss before income taxes for purposes of performance
measurement. The measurement basis for segment assets includes intangible
assets.

In January 2000, the Company received 850,000 shares of its common stock under
the terms of a settlement agreement with one of its former affiliated practices.

In February 2000, the Company merged its majority-owned subsidiary, HG.com,
Inc., into a recently formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, HealthCare Ratings, Inc.
(hereafter, the "Merger Transaction"). In connection with the Merger
Transaction, the minority shareholders of HG.com were given 800,000 shares of
Company common stock.

NOTE 4 - SEVERANCE AGREEMENT WITH OFFICER

Effective March 29, 2001, Patrick Jaeckle, then President of the Company,
resigned his employment with the Company. In connection with his resignation,
the Company entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Jaeckle. Under the
agreement, Mr. Jaeckle agreed to serve as a consultant to the Company through
September 30, 2001 and to surrender 250,000 shares of Health Grades common stock
to the Company. The Company agreed to make payments to Mr. Jaeckle totaling
approximately $435,000 in consideration of his consulting services, the
surrender of his shares and other commitments, including certain confidentiality
commitments. The Company also extended the termination date of options to
purchase 861,351 shares of Company common stock held by Mr. Jaeckle until
September 30, 2003. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Jaeckle a fee of
approximately $90,000 if he provides to the Company a bona fide written offer of
an entity to provide equity financing or enter into a business combination
transaction with the Company on terms specified in the agreement.

NOTE 5 - FINANCING COMMITMENT

Effective April 16, 2001, the Company reached an agreement with Chancellor V.,
L.P. ("Chancellor V") and Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund IV, L.P.
("Essex"), regarding a commitment to provide up to $2.0 million of equity
financing to the Company. In consideration for the commitment, the Company
issued to Chancellor and Essex warrants (the "Commitment Warrants") to purchase
an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price per share of $0.26, which was the closing market price per share of the
Company's common stock as reported by Nasdaq on April 16, 2001. The Commitment
Warrants will expire on April 16, 2007. In addition, the Company repriced
warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock that were
issued to Chancellor V and Essex in March 2000 to the same $0.26 per share
exercise price.

Under the terms of the agreement with Chancellor V and Essex, the Company was
granted the option, which may be exercised solely at its discretion until
December 31, 2001, to sell Company common stock to Chancellor V and Essex at an
aggregate purchase price of up to $2.0 million. If the Company exercises the
option, the price per share will be equal to the lesser of $0.26 and the closing
market price per share of the Company's common stock on the date that the
Company provides notice to Chancellor V and Essex that the Company intends to
exercise the option, but in no event less than $0.15 per share. If the Company
decides to exercise the option, the Company will also issue warrants to purchase
up to an additional 350,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price per
share equal to the price at which the Company sells its common stock upon the
exercise of the option. The warrants will have a six-year term.

ITEM 2:

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements in this section, including statements concerning the sufficiency of
available funds, anticipated future revenues, anticipated costs to further
develop and market our Internet sites are "forward looking statements." Actual
events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward looking
statements as a result of various factors, including failure to achieve revenue
increases, unanticipated expenditures, adverse litigation developments and other
factors discussed below and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000, particularly under "Risk Factors" in Item 1.

GENERAL

We are a healthcare information services company. We grade, or provide the means
to assess and compare the quality or qualifications of, various types of
healthcare providers. We also provide profile information for a variety of
providers and facilities. We make this information available to consumers,
employers and health plans to assist them in selecting healthcare providers. For
consumers, this information is available free of charge on our website,
www.healthgrades.com. For employers, we provide, for a fee, customized

                                       8
   9

information designed to encourage employees to utilize quality providers, which
can reduce medical benefit costs as well as indirect costs of lost workdays and
productivity. For health plans, we provide, for a fee, customized information
designed to assist them in selecting network providers who can enhance the
quality of care for their members.

We also offer services to healthcare providers. For providers who have received
high ratings, we offer the opportunity to license our ratings and trademarks and
provide assistance in their marketing programs. For providers who have not
received high ratings, we offer quality improvement services designed to
identify deficiencies and improve quality. We also provide limited physician
practice management services to musculoskeletal practices under management
services agreements that have terms expiring through September 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Ratings and advisory revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001,
ratings and advisory revenue was approximately $661,000 and $1.2 million,
respectively, compared to ratings and advisory revenue of approximately $377,000
and $687,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.
These increases are primarily the result of an increase in the number of
hospitals under our strategic quality initiative program.

Physician practice service fee revenue. Physician practice service fee revenue
is recognized based upon the service agreements between the Company and the
physician practices. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, physician practice
service fee revenue was approximately $272,000, compared to revenue of $3.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 includes a non-recurring payment of approximately $2.3 million
related to the termination of a management services agreement with one of the
practices. As of June 30, 2001, we have service agreements remaining with five
practices, the last of which will expire in September 2002.

Production, content and product development costs. Production, content and
product development costs relate to the development and support of our
healthgrades.com and providerweb.net web sites. These costs (which consist
primarily of salaries and benefits, consulting fees and other costs related to
software development, application development and operations expense) are
expensed as incurred. Compared with the six months ended June 30, 2000, these
costs decreased by approximately $660,000, from $1.2 million to $547,000, during
the six months ended June 30, 2001. Costs for the six months ended June 30, 2000
reflected expenses relating to the launch and expansion of both the
HealthGrades.com and ProviderWeb.net web sites, which were completed during the
first quarter of 2000.

Litigation and other costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, we incurred
approximately $267,000 in legal fees related to disputes with two of our former
affiliated practices. Litigation and other costs decreased approximately
$305,000 from the same period in 2000 due to the fact that during the latter
part of 1999 and in the first half of 2000 we reached settlement agreements with
several former affiliated practices. Currently, we have one remaining lawsuit
involving a former affiliated practice.

Loss on sale of assets and other. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, we
incurred a loss of approximately $275,000 on the sale of two MRI units and a
gain of approximately $142,000 related to a litigation settlement with one of
our former affiliated practices.

Interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, we incurred
interest expense of approximately $29,000 compared to interest expense of
approximately $376,000 for the same period of 2000. This decrease is due to our
repayment of the balance of our bank term loan in March 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2001, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $61,000, a
decrease of $4.4 million from approximately $4.3 million as of December 31,
2000. For the first six months of 2001, cash flow used in operations was
approximately $1.9 million compared to $1.9 million provided by operations for
the same period of 2000. In addition, we repaid the $1,369,767 remaining balance
on our bank term loan during the first quarter 2001.

Effective April 16, 2001, we reached an agreement with Chancellor V., L.P.
("Chancellor V") and Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund IV, L.P. ("Essex"),
regarding a commitment to provide up to $2.0 million of equity financing to us.
In consideration for the commitment, we issued to Chancellor and Essex warrants
(the "Commitment Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.26, which was the closing
market price per share of our common stock as reported by Nasdaq on April 16,
2001. The Commitment Warrants will expire on April 16, 2007. In addition,

                                       9

   10


we repriced warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock that were
issued to Chancellor V and Essex in March 2000 to the same $0.26 exercise price.

Under the terms of the agreement with Chancellor V and Essex, we were granted
the option, which may be exercised solely at our discretion until December 31,
2001, to sell our common stock to Chancellor V and Essex at an aggregate
purchase price of up to $2.0 million. If we exercise the option, the price per
share will be equal to the lesser of $0.26 and the closing market price per
share of our common stock on the date that we provide notice to Chancellor V and
Essex that we intend to exercise the option, but in no event less than $0.15 per
share. If we decide to exercise the option, we will also issue warrants to
purchase up to an additional 350,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price per share equal to the price at which we sell our common stock upon our
exercise of the option. The warrants will have a six-year term.

We anticipate incurring costs in excess of revenues for the remainder of 2001 to
further develop and market our product offerings. Based upon our current
business plan and the commitment provided by Chancellor V and Essex described
above, we anticipate that we have sufficient funds available to support ongoing
operations for at least the next twelve months. However, if revenues do not
increase as anticipated, or we incur significant unanticipated expenses, we may
require additional funds, the terms and availability of which will depend on
market and other conditions. We cannot assure that sufficient funds will be
available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

As described in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources, in April
2001 we were granted the option to sell our common stock to Chancellor V and
Essex at an aggregate purchase price of up to $2.0 million. If we exercise the
option, the price per share will be equal to the lesser of $0.26 and the closing
market price per share of our common stock on the date that we provide notice to
Chancellor V and Essex that we intend to exercise the option, but in no event
less than $0.15 per share. Therefore, if we determine to exercise the option in
order to fund operations, and the price per share of our common stock decreases
to the $0.15 share minimum price, we will be required to issue more shares to
our investors in order to exercise our option. If we were to fully exercise our
option for $2.0 million, we could be obligated to issue up to 13,333,333 based
on a price per share of our common stock of $0.15 per share.
