Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

         1.               Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies 

         The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods presented.  They comply with Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 has been derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 or for any other interim period in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. 

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has experienced recurring losses and has a working capital deficit, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management continues to pursue fund-raising activities, including private placements, so as to continue funding the Company's operations.          

         Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements          

         In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS 150"), which is effective for the interim period beginning after March 15, 2003. SFAS 150 establishes standards for the Company's classification of liabilities in the financial statements that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 150 will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 

         In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS 148"), an amendment to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), which provides alternatives for companies electing to account for stock-based compensation using the fair value criteria established by SFAS 123 and requires certain incremental disclosures. The Company intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), but has provided the required disclosures under SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. 

2.      Restatement of First Quarter of 2003          

         As previously reported, the Company, in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003, made certain adjustments to correct its first quarter 2003 financial statements.  The financial statement effect of all of these adjustments on the first quarter are summarized as follows:          

         Deferred Revenue 

         The Company recognizes revenue when it has completed all of its obligations to the customer and is entitled to payment from the customer. The Company, at its stage of development, has not earned recurring revenues from the sale of its technology; it has, however, entered into two agreements to make custom changes to its technology to meet the special needs of two unrelated third parties which agreements generated a total of $173,000 for the Company.  This revenue was originally deferred at December 31, 2002, and the Company did not recognize such revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. However, this deferred revenue was, upon management's re-examination in 2003, determined to have been recognizable as of March 31, 2003 as there were no further obligations on the Company's part related to those agreements. Accordingly, this amount has been recorded in revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. 

         Warrants 

         Between October 2002 and March 2003, the Company issued warrants to certain consultants to purchase a total of approximately 266,000 shares of common stock at prices between $0.50 and $0.70 per share.  The Company previously did not recognize the appropriate amount of compensation charges associated with the vested portion of these warrants during the first quarter of 2003, and thus is restating its financial statements to reflect a catch-up adjustment of $75,000 to Selling, general and administrative expenses for amounts associated with the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.          

         During the first quarter of 2003, the Company modified certain warrants previously issued in connection with its Series C Preferred Stock and other financing transactions.  The Company previously did not give any accounting recognition to these modifications, and thus is restating its financial statements to reflect $1,133,000 disproportionate dividends to certain shareholders and a $88,000 noncash compensation charge associated with certain of these warrant modifications.  Warrants to exercise a total of approximately 3,450,000 shares were modified to extend the periods in which they could be exercised.  Additionally, of this group of warrants, those representing approximately 172,000 shares were modified to reduce their exercise prices from a range of $0.80 - $1.75, to a new exercise price of $0.50. The Company also exchanged warrants to purchase 1,555,283 shares for warrants to purchase 1,305,283 shares of common stock at a lower exercise price of $0.50. The Company did not receive any consideration from the holders of the warrants.  The original convertible equity and debt instruments with which these warrants were issued had substantially been converted at the warrant modification dates.  The exchange, valued at $1,133,000, was treated as a capital transaction with no net value being recorded to equity. 

         These modifications were primarily made to increase the likelihood of the holders exercising such warrants.  Additionally, the above-noted warrants with changes to both exercise periods and prices were made to compensate investors who had rendered non-employee services (which was not contemplated at the original issue dates) subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, which took place during the first quarter of 2003. As such, the majority of the value of these modifications has been accounted for as a deemed disproportionate dividend to the affected warrant holders during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.  The portion related to non-employee service ($88,000), however, has been reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. 

         The Company has applied the modification principles in SFAS 123, using the Black-Scholes model to determine the value of these changes in warrants.          

         The financial statement effect of all of the above-mentioned adjustments on the first quarter of 2003 is summarized as follows:          

For the three-month period ending March 31, 2003:

 

Net loss, as reported

         3.               Acquisitions

 

On March 4, 2003 the Company purchased from Comdisco Ventures, Inc., substantially all the assets formerly used by ePhysician, Inc. in its software and technology business. Prior to its cessation of operations in 2002, ePhysician developed and provided ePhysician Practice, a suite of software products that enables physicians to prescribe medications, access drug reference data, schedule patients, view formulary information, review critical patient information and capture charges at the point of care using a Palm OS-based handheld device and the Internet.

The aggregate purchase price was $348,000, including $300,000 of cash and 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $48,000. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets purchased based on the fair market values at the date of acquisition as follows: 

Computer equipment

$10,000

Goodwill

338,000

$348,000

The Company is in the process of valuing the acquired assets and thereafter will finalize this purchase price allocation. 

Costs associated with terminated acquisitions amount to $142,000 during the current quarter, and relate to the write-off of certain expenses associated with the PocketScripts acquisition. We entered into an agreement to acquire PocketScripts, LLC in December 2002; the agreement was terminated in March 2003. 

In the current quarter, the Company provided advances of $25,000 pursuant to a promissory note to a company that has technology that the Company is potentially interested in acquiring (either whole or in part). No agreement exists for the acquisition of this technology, and there can be no assurance that the Company will desire to acquire the technology or that an agreement can be reached with this Company.

 

 

4.               Goodwill

         Total Net Goodwill at March 31, 2003 includes $1,605,000 related to Goodwill acquired through the Cymedix acquisition. The balance of $338,000 relates to the March 2003 acquisition of assets formerly owned by ePhysician, Inc., based on a preliminary allocation of purchase price, and has been assigned to the same reporting unit as the Cymedix goodwill.

 

 5.               Equity Transactions

 

Acquisition of ePhysician Assets

 

On March 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets previously used in the ePhysician business for total consideration of $348,000 comprised of $300,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The common stock was valued at $48,000 based on the share price on the date of the closing.

 

Options and Warrant Exercise

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company received proceeds of $162,000 from the exercise of stock options and warrants resulting in the issuance of 355,000 shares of common stock. In the comparable period of 2002, the Company received proceeds of $4,000 from the exercise of stock options and warrants resulting in the issuance of 15,000 shares of common stock.

 

Warrants

 

At March 31, 2003 the Company had the obligation to provide 5,150,000 warrants under the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrant with WellPoint Pharmacy Management if certain performance criteria specified are met. No additional warrants were earned during the first quarter of 2003. Had all of the remaining performance criteria been met at March 31, 2003, the fair value of the related warrants and resulting expense would have been approximately $397,000, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with assumptions of 104% volatility, no dividend yield and a risk-free rate of 5.5%.

 

Private Placements 

During January and February 2003, the Company completed a private placement of its $.001 par value common stock and raised proceeds of $1,209,000, net of $51,000 in fees. A total of 3,151,250 units were placed, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant.  Subscribers purchased each unit for $0.40 and are entitled to exercise warrant rights to purchase one share of the common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $.0.50 per share for a five year period on or after January 1, 2003 and prior to January 1, 2008. The Company registered the above shares and shares covered by the warrants in a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

During April 2003, the Company completed the private placement of $400,000 in convertible notes.  The notes have an 18-month term, bear interest at 7% per annum and are convertible into common stock at a price of $0.15 per share. The Company received a total of $351,000 from this placement net of offering costs of $49,000.  In connection with this transaction, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which we valued at $400,000 based on running a Black Scholes calculation limited to the amount of proceeds received of $400,000. The Company will record this transaction and related discount of $400,000, which will be amortized as finance costs over the next 18 months. The Company has committed to register the shares underlying the convertible notes in a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of completion of the offering. 

6.         Stock Options 

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company issued to employees options to purchase 615,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.29 to $0.68.  Such options have been granted under the 1999 Plan.  The Black-Scholes option-pricing model estimates the options fair value to be $289,000 by considering the following assumptions: the options exercise price and expected life, the underlying current market price of the stock and expected volatility, expected dividends and the risk free interest rate corresponding to the term of the option.

         The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plan.  Had compensation cost for the Company's options issued to employees been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, the Company's net loss and basic loss per common share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

7.               Related Party Transactions

 

         During February 2002, the Company repaid an advance from a related party in the amount of $166,000. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company received $130,000 from a related party in the form of a loan. At March 31, 2003, $115,000 of that loan remains outstanding. Payment terms agreed with the related party call for repayment of the loan in May 2003.

 

8.               Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and litigation that arise out of the normal course of business.  Currently, other than as discussed below, there are no pending matters that in management's judgment might be considered potentially material to us. 

Tufts Associated Health Plans, Inc. has threatened to commence litigation against us for allegedly breaching the Services and Support Agreement between Tufts and the Company.  Tufts has alleged that because of the termination of the merger agreement between the Company and PocketScripts, the Company is unable to provide the products and services as contemplated by the Services and Support Agreement and is in "material breach" there under. We disagree with Tufts' allegations.  At this time, litigation has not been commenced.

A party has notified us that it believes our pharmacy product may infringe on patents that it holds. We have retained patent counsel who has made a preliminary investigation and determined that our product does not infringe on the identified patents. At this time no legal action has been instituted.

 

       

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

The Company develops and intends to market healthcare communication technology products for electronic prescribing of drugs, laboratory orders and laboratory results. These technologies are designed to provide connectivity of medical related information between point-of-care providers ("POCs") (i.e. physician or caretaker) and specific healthcare value chain intermediaries ("HVCIs") (e.g. pharmacy, lab, pharmacy benefit managers, pharmaceutical companies, etc.). The Company's technology is designed to improve the accuracy and the efficiency of the processes of drug prescribing and the ordering of laboratory tests and the receiving of laboratory results.

This Report contains forward-looking statements, which statements relate to events or transactions that have not yet occurred, our expectations or estimates for our future operations and economic performance, our growth strategies or business plans or other events that have not yet occurred. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "might," "may," "will," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "likely," "believe," or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The following paragraphs contain discussions of important factors that should be considered by prospective investors for their potential impact on forward-looking statements included in this Report. These important factors, as well as other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. 

We have reported net losses of ($9,014,000), ($10,636,000) and ($5,415,000) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, and a net loss of ($2,447,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2003 we had an accumulated deficit of ($45,521,000). These losses and negative operating cash flow have caused our accountants to include a "going concern" qualification in their report in connection with their audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.

We expect to continue to experience losses, in the near term, until such time as our technologies can be successfully deployed with physicians and produce revenue. The continuing development, marketing and deployment of our technologies will depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing. We are funding our operations now through the sale of our securities. There can be no assurance that additional investments or financings will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, as needed to support the development and deployment of our technologies. Failure to obtain such capital on a timely basis could result in lost business opportunities, the sale of our technology at a distressed price or the financial failure of our company. We currently have 125,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under our certificate of incorporation, and as of March 31, 2003, had 80,767,065 outstanding shares of common stock and 36,247,226 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under existing options, warrants and outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock. We intend to request that our shareholders approve, at a special meeting of shareholders, an increase in the number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue. However, we cannot predict the outcome of that vote. If our shareholders do not approve of the increase in the number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue, we will be unable to raise additional capital.

 

The success of our products and services in generating revenue may be subject to the quality and completeness of the data that is generated and stored by the physician or other healthcare professionals and entered into our interconnectivity systems, including the failure to input appropriate or accurate information. Failure or unwillingness by the healthcare professional to accommodate the required information quality may result in the payor refusing to pay Medix for its services.

 

         The introduction of connectivity products in that market has been slow due to the large number of small practitioners who are resistant to change, as well as the financial investment or workflow interruptions associated with change, particularly in a period of rising pressure to reduce costs in the market. We are currently devoting significant resources toward the development of products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the development of these products in a timely fashion or that our current or future products will satisfy the needs of the healthcare information systems market. Further, there can be no assurance that products or technologies developed by others will not adversely affect our competitive position or render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete.

 

Certain of our products provide applications that relate to patient medication histories and treatment plans. Any failure by our products to provide accurate, secure and timely information could result in product liability claims against us by our clients or their affiliates or patients. We maintain insurance that we believe currently is adequate to protect against claims associated with the use of our products, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage would adequately cover any claim asserted against us. The limits of that coverage are $2,000,000 in the aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence. A successful claim brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds in litigation, as well as diversion of management time and resources.

 

We have been granted certain patent rights, trademarks and copyrights relating to our software business. However, patent and intellectual property legal issues for software programs, such as the Cymedix products, are complex and currently evolving. Since patent applications are secret until patents are issued, in the United States, or published, in other countries, we cannot be sure that we are first to file any patent application. In addition, there can be no assurance that competitors, many of which have far greater resources than we do, will not apply for and obtain patents that will interfere with our ability to develop or market product ideas that we have originated. Further, the laws of certain foreign countries do not provide the protection to intellectual property that is provided in the United States, and may limit our ability to market our products overseas. We cannot give any assurance that the scope of the rights we have are broad enough to fully protect our Cymedix software from infringement.

 

Litigation or regulatory proceedings may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, such as the scope of our patent. In fact, the computer software industry in general is characterized by substantial litigation. Such litigation and regulatory proceedings are very expensive and could be a significant drain on our resources and divert resources from product development. There is no assurance that we will have the financial resources to defend our patent rights or other intellectual property from infringement or claims of invalidity. We have been notified by a party that it believes our pharmacy product may infringe on patents that it holds. We have retained patent counsel who has made a preliminary investigation and determined that our product does not infringe on the identified patents. At this time no legal action has been instituted.

 

         We also rely upon unpatented proprietary technology and no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to or disclose our proprietary technology or that we can meaningfully protect our rights in such unpatented proprietary technology. We will use our best efforts to protect such information and techniques; however, no assurance can be given that such efforts will be successful. The failure to protect our intellectual property could cause us to lose substantial revenues and to fail to reach our financial potential over the long term.

 

The healthcare and medical services industry in the United States is in period of rapid change and uncertainty. Governmental programs have been proposed, and some adopted, from time to time, to reform various aspects of the U.S. healthcare delivery system. Some of these programs contain proposals to increase government involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates and otherwise change the operating environment for our customers. Particularly, HIPAA and the regulations that are being promulgated thereunder are causing the healthcare industry to change its procedures and incur substantial cost in doing so. Although we expect these regulations to have the beneficial effect of spurring adoption of our software products, we cannot predict with any certainty what impact, if any, these and future healthcare reforms might have on our software business.

 

As of April 30, 2003, we had 80,767,065 shares of common stock outstanding. As of that date, approximately 33,283,059 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights, and the conversion of preferred stock and convertible debentures. Most of these shares will be immediately saleable upon exercise or conversion under registration statements we have filed with the SEC. The exercise prices of options, warrants or other rights to acquire common stock presently outstanding range from $0.01 per share to $4.97 per share. During the respective terms of the outstanding options, warrants, preferred stock and other outstanding derivative securities, the holders are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the common stock, and the exercise of any options, warrants or other rights may dilute the book value per share of the common stock and put downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The existence of the options, conversion rights, or any outstanding warrants may adversely affect the terms on which we may obtain additional equity financing. Moreover, the holders of such securities are likely to exercise their rights to acquire common stock at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain capital on terms more favorable than could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of such securities.

 

As with any business, growth in absolute amounts of selling, general and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results to vary materially and adversely from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Budgeting and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to incorrect decisions and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditures or other budgets, which may, in turn, affect our results of operation. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized.

 

In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans for the Company will be achieved.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Items Affecting Comparability

 

          Quality financial reporting relies on consistent application of Company accounting policies that are based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to understanding our financial statements and often require management judgment and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

          The Company will recognize revenue only when it has completed all of its obligations to the customer and is entitled to payment from the customer. The Company, at its stage of development, has not earned recurring revenues from the sale of its technology; it has, however, entered into agreements to make custom changes to its technology to meet the special needs of two unrelated third parties.  

 

Intangibles

 

          Intangibles represent acquisition costs in excess of the fair value of net tangible assets of businesses purchased. In conjunction with our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"), we evaluate our goodwill annually for impairment, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist. The determination of whether or not goodwill or other intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the reporting units. Changes in our strategy and or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or sooner if indicators of potential impairment exist.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

          With the exception of goodwill, long-lived assets such as property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets and their eventual disposition is less than their carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows. During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, no such impairment losses were recognized.

 

Contingencies

 

          We are subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to labor, service and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies are made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

 

Notes Receivable

 

          We are required to estimate the collectibility of notes receivable. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current credit-worthiness of the counterparties. Changes in required reserves may occur due to changing circumstances, including changes in the current market environment.

 

Equity Transactions

 

          In many of our financing transactions, warrants have been issued. Additionally, we issue options and warrants to nonemployees from time to time as payment for services. In all these cases, we apply the principles of SFAS 123 to value these awards, which inherently include a number of estimates and assumptions including stock price volatility factors. We based our estimates and assumptions on the best information available at the time of valuation; however, changes in these estimates and assumptions could have a material effect on the valuation of the underlying instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

          In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS 150"), which is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, with the exception of certain provisions, which the FASB has deferred. SFAS 150 establishes standards for the Company's classification of liabilities in the financial statements that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 150 will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

          In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS 148"), an amendment to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), which provides alternatives for companies electing to account for stock-based compensation using the fair value criteria established by SFAS 123. The Company intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's Option No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), but has provided the required disclosures of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148.

 

Results of Operations

 

         The Company recognizes revenue when it has completed all of its obligations to the customer and is entitled to payment from the customer.  The Company, at its stage of development, has not earned recurring revenues from the sale of its technology; it has, however, entered into two agreements to make custom changes to its technology to meet the special needs of two unrelated third parties which agreements generated a total of $173,000 for the Company.  This revenue was originally deferred at December 31,2002, and the Company did not recognize such revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. However, this deferred revenue was, upon management's re-examination in 2003, determined to have been recognizable as of March 31, 2003, as there were no further obligations on the Company's part related to those agreements. Accordingly, this amount has been recorded in revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

 

Software and technology costs totaled $393,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, a $192,000 decrease over the prior year's spending of $585,000. In 2002, technology costs included $80,000 in license fees related to technologies that are no longer in use and $50,000 of amortized capitalized development expenses. Effective the end of 2002, the Company will not be capitalizing its software development expenses. In 2003, software development salaries and benefits were approximately $62,000 lower than the comparable period in 2002 reflecting a reduction in technology staffing.

 

         Selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $2,090,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, versus $890,000 in the comparable period last year. Consulting expenses amounted to $610,000 as the Company increased spending to develop marketing relationships in newly defined market segments, and issued and modified warrants in return for nonemployee services. Fees for legal services amounted to $246,000 and primarily relate to Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements and activities associated with various business development initiatives. Accounting expenses in the quarter of $240,000 are primarily due to activities in support of Securities and Exchange Commission filings and business development initiatives.

 

The comparison to prior year is also impacted by corporate advertising initiatives in 2003 ($51,000) and 2002 capitalized software development expenses ($81,000). These increases are somewhat mitigated by lower expenses for occupancy ($80,000) and compensation ($58,000) during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

 

 

Other income/expense reflects a net income of $5,000, which is substantially improved versus the prior year expense of $212,000. The 2002 net expense included $132,000 being recorded for options issued to an officer of the Company for past financial support in addition to a charge for an in-the-money conversion feature valued at $70,000 on a $1,000,000 convertible note payable.

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 total $ 2,447,000, as compared with a net loss of $1,677,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In the current quarter, the Company provided advances of $25,000 pursuant to a promissory note to a company that has technology that the Company is potentially interested in acquiring (either whole or in part). No agreement exists for the acquisition of this technology, and there can be no assurance that the Company will desire to acquire the technology or that an agreement can be reached with this Company.

 

As of March 31, 2003 the Company has $38,000 in cash and a net working capital deficit of ($1,547,000). During the three months ended March 31, 2003, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,331,000. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,308,000 reflecting our net loss of approximately $2.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, net cash used in investing activities was $326,000, reflecting the $300,000 paid in connection the ePhysician assets acquisition and the $25,000 note receivable referred to in the prior paragraph.          

Item 3.           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

We do not hold or engage in transactions with market risk sensitive instruments. 

Item 4.           Controls and Procedures 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

          Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2003, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures in place are adequate to ensure material information and other information requiring disclosure is identified and communicated on a timely basis.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

          During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.  

 

         

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings 

From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and litigation that arise out of the normal course of business.  Currently, other than as discussed below, there are no pending matters that in management's judgment might be considered potentially material to us. 

Tufts Associated Health Plans, Inc. has threatened to commence litigation against us for allegedly breaching the Services and Support Agreement between Tufts and the Company.  Tufts has alleged that because of the termination of the merger agreement between the Company and PocketScripts, the Company is unable to provide the products and services as contemplated by the Services and Support Agreement and is in "material breach" there under. We disagree with Tufts' allegations.  At this time, litigation has not been commenced.

A party has notified us that it believes our pharmacy product may infringe on patents that it holds. We have retained patent counsel who has made a preliminary investigation and determined that our product does not infringe on the identified patents. At this time no legal action has been instituted.
