Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2001 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. 6 7 Summary information by segment is as follows: <Table> <Caption> AS OF AND FOR THE AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 JUNE 30 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ RAR Revenue from external customers $ 661,310 $ 376,534 $ 1,220,172 $ 687,067 Interest income 23,642 174,657 68,311 178,509 Segment net loss before income taxes (825,086) (983,909) (1,771,667) (2,029,654) Segment assets 5,285,831 7,071,525 5,285,831 7,071,525 Segment asset expenditures -- 172,963 715 298,502 PPS Revenue from external customers $ 136,015 $ 1,988,381 $ 272,031 $ 3,567,811 Interest income -- 70,950 9,897 80,847 Interest expense (231) (59,718) (28,794) (375,793) Segment net income (loss) before income (1,711,840) 559,714 (3,045,768) (534,958) taxes Segment assets 20,839,733 29,589,939 20,839,734 29,589,939 Segment asset expenditures -- -- 5,076 7,812 </Table> A reconciliation of the Company's segment revenue, segment net loss before income taxes, segment assets and other significant items to the corresponding amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements is as follows: <Table> <Caption> AS OF AND FOR THE AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 JUNE 30 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ REVENUE Total for reportable segments $ 797,325 $ 2,364,915 $ 1,492,203 $ 4,254,878 Other revenue 877 -- 3,586 2,719 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total consolidated revenue $ 798,202 $ 2,364,915 $ 1,495,789 $ 4,257,597 ============ ============ ============ ============ LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES Total net loss before tax for reportable segments $ (2,536,926) $ (424,195) $ (4,817,435) $ (2,564,612) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Loss before income taxes $ (2,536,926) $ (424,195) $ (4,817,435) $ (2,564,612) ============ ============ ============ ============ ASSETS Total assets for reportable segments $ 26,125,564 $ 36,661,464 $ 26,125,564 $ 36,661,464 Elimination of advance to subsidiaries (10,442,718) (8,311,769) (10,442,718) (8,311,769) Elimination of investment in subsidiaries (7,795,020) (7,795,020) (7,795,020) (7,795,020) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Consolidated total assets $ 7,883,393 $ 20,554,675 $ 7,883,393 $ 20,554,675 ============ ============ ============ ============ </Table> For each of the periods presented, the Company's primary operations and assets were within the United States. NOTE 3 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash interest paid amounted to approximately $78,000 and $440,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Refunds received from income taxes amounted to approximately $2,000 and $2,300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities are as follows: During the three months ended March 31, 2000, approximately $1.2 million in restricted cash was used to pay amounts outstanding under the Company's term loan. 7 8 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. PART II.
