EPOCRATES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. Background
 
Epocrates, Inc. ("Epocrates" or the “Company”) was incorporated in California in August 1998 as nCircle Communications, Inc. In September 1999, the Company changed its name to ePocrates, Inc., and in May 2006, the Company reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name to Epocrates, Inc.
 
The Company is a leading physician platform for essential clinical content, practice tools and health industry engagement at the point of care. Most commonly used on mobile devices, the Company’s products help healthcare professionals make more informed prescribing decisions, enhance patient safety and improve practice productivity. Through the Company’s interactive services, it provides the healthcare industry, primarily pharmaceutical companies, opportunities to engage with its user network through delivery of targeted information and to conduct market research.
 
Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)
 
On February 1, 2011, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-168176) was declared effective for its IPO, pursuant to which it registered the offering and sale of 5,360,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share and an aggregate offering price of $85.8 million, of which 3,574,285 shares were sold by the Company for an aggregate offering price of $57.2 million, and 1,785,715 shares were sold by the selling stockholders for an aggregate offering price of $28.6 million. On February 3, 2011, the over-allotment option of 804,000 shares was exercised at a price of $16.00 per share for an aggregate of $12.9 million, all of which were sold by the Company, and the offering was completed with all of the shares subject to the registration statement having been sold.
 
As a result of the Company’s IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option on February 3, 2011, both of which closed on February 7, 2011, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $62.2 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.9 million. In addition, the Company incurred other expenses associated with its IPO of approximately $3.0 million. From these proceeds, aggregate cumulative dividends to the holders of Epocrates’ Series B preferred stock were paid in full, in the amount of approximately $29.6 million. Upon the consummation of the IPO, the outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock were converted into an aggregate of 11,089,201 shares of common stock.
 
After the completion of the IPO on February 7, 2011, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation and increased its authorized number of shares of common stock to 100,000,000 and reduced the authorized number of shares of preferred stock to 10,000,000. The Company also established the par value of each share of common and preferred stock to be $0.001 per share.
 
Common Stock Split
 
An Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation for a 1-for-0.786 reverse split approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 18, 2010, was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 28, 2011 and was effected upon the closing of the IPO. All information related to common stock, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and earnings per share, as well as all references to preferred stock or preferred stock warrants as converted into common stock, has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse split.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.


6


The interim financial data as of June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 or any other future period.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.
 
The Company limits its concentration of risk in cash equivalents and short-term investments by diversifying its investments among a variety of industries and issuers. The primary goals of the Company’s investment policy are, in order of priority, preservation of principal, liquidity and current income. The Company’s professional portfolio managers adhere to this investment policy as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are deposited at financial institutions or invested in securities that management believes are of high credit quality.
 
The Company’s investment policy is to invest only in fixed income instruments denominated and payable in U.S. dollars. Investments in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, money market instruments, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, corporate bonds of U.S. companies, municipal securities and asset-backed securities are allowed. The Company does not invest in auction rate securities, future contracts or hedging instruments. Securities of a single issuer valued at cost at the time of purchase should not exceed 5% of the market value of the portfolio, or $1 million, whichever is greater, although securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies are specifically exempted from these restrictions. Issue size is typically greater than $50 million for corporate bonds. No single position in any issue will equal more than 10% of that issue. The final maturity of each security within the portfolio shall not exceed 24 months.
 
The Company’s revenue and accounts receivable are derived primarily from clients in the healthcare industry (e.g., pharmaceutical companies, managed care companies and market research firms) within the U.S. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, one client accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, no single client accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.

The Company performs a regular review of its clients’ payment histories and associated credit risks and does not require collateral from its clients. The Company has not historically experienced significant credit losses from its accounts receivable. There were two clients that accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, net, one of which accounted for 15% of accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2012. One client accounted for 15% of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2011.
 
Software Development Costs
 
Software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development are charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product. The Company does not consider a product in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the product that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final product and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. The Company previously capitalized software development costs upon technical feasibility for the electronic health record (“EHR”) solution until it announced its decision to discontinue the EHR business. Capitalized costs incurred in the first quarter of 2012 up until the date of the announcement were reclassified to loss from discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
 
Internal Use Software and Website Development Costs
 
With regard to software developed for internal use and website development costs, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to planning and post-implementation phases of development. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the product’s estimated useful life which is generally three years. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and

7


2011, the Company capitalized $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of software development costs related to software for internal use and website development costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company capitalized $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of software development costs related to software for internal use and website development costs. Internal software development costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over three years beginning with the date the software is placed into service. Amortization of software developed for internal use was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Amortization of software developed for internal use was $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of internal use software is reflected in cost of revenues. Costs associated with minor enhancement and maintenance of the Company’s website are expensed as incurred.
 
Facilities Exit Costs
 
The Company vacated the East Windsor, New Jersey office in the first quarter of 2011 and relocated its New Jersey operations to Ewing, New Jersey. The Company had entered into a non-cancellable lease with the landlord which does not expire until the end of fiscal year 2012. The Company was, therefore, liable to make monthly lease payments under the contract until the termination of the lease. The liability recorded at fair value is based on the present value of the remaining lease rentals and is reduced for the estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 relating to the East Windsor facility exit costs.
 
Segment Information
 
Previously, the Company had two reportable segments: Subscriptions and Interactive Services, and EHR. On February 24, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, as authorized by the Board of Directors, approved the discontinuation of Epocrates’ EHR business. Upon the approval, the Company qualified for discontinued operations presentation under GAAP, and at such time, the EHR results were reported in loss from discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Prior period amounts have been revised in order to conform to the current period presentation. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S.
 
3. Net (Loss) Income Per Share
 
In February 2011, all of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock converted into common stock in connection with the IPO. Prior to the conversion, holders of Series A and Series C convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive 8% per annum non-cumulative dividends. Holders of Series B preferred stock were entitled to receive 8% per annum cumulative dividends.
 
In 2011, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was presented in conformity with the “two-class method” required for participating securities. Under the two-class method, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, net of shares subject to repurchase. Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is calculated as net income (loss) less the preferred stock dividend for the period. Due to the Company’s presentation of the EHR results in discontinued operations, a similar calculation was performed for the 2011 per share income from continuing operations. Basic income from continuing operations per share is computed by subtracting the preferred stock dividend for the period from income from continuing operations and dividing that amount by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
 
Diluted net loss per share gives effect to the impact of potentially dilutive securities, which consist of convertible preferred stock, stock options, RSUs and warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and RSUs is computed using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company does not include dilutive securities in its calculations of per share loss from continuing operations, discontinued operations, net of tax, and net loss attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, the denominator used in these calculations is the weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic.

4. Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is applied to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels:
 
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
 
The following table represents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the basis of that measurement (in thousands):

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
 
Money market funds are considered Level 1 investments under the GAAP fair value hierarchy because fair value inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. As of March 31, 2012, obligations of U.S. government agencies are also considered Level 1 investments. The remainder of the Company’s short-term investments are considered Level 2 investments under the GAAP fair value hierarchy because the fair value inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
During the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value instruments.
 
5. Short-Term Investments
 
Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value with any changes in market value reported as a part of comprehensive income. Premiums (discounts) are amortized (accreted) to interest income over the life of the investment. Marketable securities are classified as short-term investments if the remaining maturity from the date of purchase is in excess of 90 days.
 
The Company determines the fair value amounts by using available market information. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the average contractual maturity was less than one year and the contractual maturity of any single investment did not exceed 12 months.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash equivalents were primarily in the form of money market funds, and the Company had no significant unrealized gains or losses on any of these investments. Cash equivalents were $11.0 million and $10.3 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
 
6. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Caretools, Inc. In connection with the acquisition of Caretools, Inc. on June 23, 2009, the Company recorded contingent consideration of $1.3 million on the acquisition date. This contingent consideration was based on an estimate of revenues to be generated from sales of products developed incorporating Caretools’ technology.
 
As a result of the Company’s decision to pursue strategic alternatives for the EHR business, the Company recorded an impairment charge to write down the carrying value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the EHR business to an estimated fair value of zero during the fourth quarter of 2011. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was primarily due to revised estimates of revenues to be derived from the acquired technologies of Caretools, Inc. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was zero due to forecasted revenues of zero for the EHR business.

In June 2012, we sold certain assets related to the EHR iPad application to a third party pursuant to a purchase agreement that was not material to our consolidated financial statements. The consideration received from the sale of the EHR iPad application together with all other miscellaneous wind-down costs resulted in a net gain of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and a net loss of approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The results of operations for the EHR business are recorded in gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The results of the EHR business for the three months ended June 30, 2012 reflected $0.7 million of expenses primarily related to payroll and severance costs for EHR employees and a tax benefit of $0.1 million. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 have

11


been revised from its earnings release on Form 8-K as filed on August 7, 2012 to correct the inclusion of approximately $0.2 million of research and development expenses for EHR employees in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company has reclassified such expenses to gain (loss) from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

MedCafe Inc. In connection with the acquisition of MedCafe on February 1, 2010, the Company recorded contingent consideration of $14.8 million on the acquisition date. This contingent consideration was based on an estimate of revenues to be generated from sales of products developed incorporating MedCafe technology. In 2011, the Company recorded a decrease in the contingent consideration liability resulting in a gain of approximately $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was primarily due to an agreement with the sellers in the second quarter of 2011 to settle the liability for $6.4 million.

Amortization of intangible assets was $1.0 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of the acquired intangible assets is reflected in cost of revenues. Amortization for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013 is expected to be approximately $4.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
 
8. Income Taxes
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million was allocated to continuing operations, with the balance of $0.1 million allocated to discontinued operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 million, which was comprised of a tax provision of approximately $3.0 million allocated to continuing operations and a tax benefit of $0.5 million allocated to discontinued operations. The income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2012 represented the federal and state statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense. The income tax provision during the three months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the federal and state statutory tax rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense partially offset by research and development credits.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million, of which $0.3 million was allocated to continuing operations, with the balance of $0.8 million allocated to discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $1.7 million, which was comprised of a tax provision of approximately $3.2 million allocated to continuing operations and a tax benefit of $1.5 million allocated to discontinued operations. The income tax benefit recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2012 represented the federal and state statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense. The income tax provision recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflected the federal and state statutory tax rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense partially offset by research and development credits.

As of June 30, 2012, the amount of interest and penalties associated with the unrecognized tax benefits were insignificant.  The Company does not expect any significant increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.
 
9. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal Matters

12


 
From time to time, the Company may be involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. If any unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period or if a loss becomes probable and estimable, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheet or cash flows.
 
Indemnification
 
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to the agreements, each party may indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless with respect to such claim, suit or proceeding brought against it by a third party alleging that the indemnifying party’s intellectual property infringes upon the intellectual property of the third party, or results from a breach of the indemnifying party’s representations and warranties or covenants, or that results from any acts of negligence or willful misconduct. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
 
The Company also indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a Director and Officer Insurance Policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The Company's contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2012 and the effects such obligations and commitments are expected to have on the Company's liquidity and cash flows in future periods have not changed significantly since December 31, 2011.
 
10. Equity Award Plans and Stock-Based Compensation
 
In August 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved, the 1999 Stock Option Plan (“1999 Plan”). In May 2009, the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved, an amendment and restatement of the 1999 Plan, the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”). In July 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan,” and together with the 1999 Plan and the 2008 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2010 Plan was most recently amended by the Board of Directors on December 22, 2010 and was approved by the Company’s stockholders on January 5, 2011. The 2010 Plan became effective upon the completion of the IPO. Awards granted after May 2009 but before the completion of the IPO continue to be governed by the 2008 Plan. All outstanding stock awards granted prior to May 2009 continue to be governed by the terms of the Company’s 1999 Plan.
 
The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, performance stock awards and other stock awards. In addition, the 2010 Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards. The Company may issue incentive stock options (“ISOs”) only to its employees. Non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and all other awards may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. ISOs and NQSOs are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Stock options granted to employees generally have a contractual term of 10 years and vest over five years of continuous service, with 25% of the stock options vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the 48-month period thereafter.
 
The number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan will automatically be increased annually on January 1st of each year, starting on January 1, 2012 and continuing through January 1, 2014, by the lesser of (a) 4% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding calendar year, (b) 1,965,000 shares of common stock or (c) a number determined by the Company’s Board of Directors that is less than (a) or (b).

Business Overview
 
Epocrates is a leading physician platform for essential clinical content, practice tools and health industry engagement at the point of care. The Epocrates network consists of more than one million healthcare professionals, including 50% of U.S. physicians, who routinely use its solutions and services. Epocrates’ portfolio includes top-ranked medical applications, such as the industry’s #1 medical application among U.S. physicians, which provides convenient, point-of-care access to information such as dosing, drug interactions, pricing and insurance coverage for thousands of brand, generic and over-the-counter drugs. The features available through our unique physician platform are often referenced multiple times per day and help healthcare professionals make more informed prescribing decisions, improve workflow and enhance patient safety. We offer our products on major U.S. mobile platforms including Apple, Android and BlackBerry.

We generate revenue by providing clients in the healthcare industry (e.g., pharmaceutical companies, managed care companies and market research firms) with interactive services to engage with our network of users and through the sale of subscriptions to our premium drug and clinical reference tools to healthcare professionals. Our client base is located almost entirely within the U.S. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, one client accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, no single client accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. There were two clients that accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, net, one of which accounted for 15% of accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2012. One client accounted for 15% of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2011.

Recent Developments
 
As previously reported, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Epocrates, as authorized by the Board of Directors, approved the discontinuation of Epocrates’ Electronic Health Record, or EHR, business in early 2012. In connection with this

15


decision, Epocrates recorded an impairment charge of approximately $8.5 million in its fourth fiscal quarter of 2011, which represents the write-down of the carrying value of the goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets related to the EHR product to their estimated fair value of zero. This charge was recorded in Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Goodwill in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Upon the Audit Committee's approval, we met the requirements for reporting the EHR segment as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and the results of this segment are now recorded in gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.

In June 2012, we sold certain assets related to the EHR iPad application to a third party pursuant to a purchase agreement that was not material to our consolidated financial statements. The consideration received from the sale of the EHR iPad application together with all other miscellaneous wind-down costs resulted in a net gain of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and a net loss of approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 have been revised from its earnings release on Form 8-K as filed on August 7, 2012 to correct the inclusion of approximately $0.2 million of research and development expenses for EHR employees in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company has reclassified such expenses to gain (loss) from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
 
Highlights
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded total revenues of $26.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 4%, from the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded total revenues of $54.4 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 5%, from the six months ended June 30, 2011. For both periods, the decrease was primarily due to an unusually high number of unused license code expirations for which we recognized revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net loss was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus net income of $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net loss was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus net income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net losses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were impacted by the gain on settlement and change in fair value of contingent consideration in the six months ended June 30, 2011 combined with decreased revenue and increased cost of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net loss per share was $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.13 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net loss per share was $0.08 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.09 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Loss from continuing operations was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus income from continuing operations of $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, with such decrease primarily attributable to a $6.4 million gain on settlement of contingent consideration recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2011. Income from continuing operations was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus income from continuing operations of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Loss from continuing operations per share was $0.05 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to income from continuing operations of $0.17 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Income from continuing operations per diluted share was less than $0.01 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to income from continuing operations of $0.19 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Earnings before interest, taxes, non-cash and other items ("adjusted EBITDA"), as defined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, adjusted EBITDA was $7.1 million compared to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to decreased revenue coupled with an increase in cost of revenue compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments declined by 4% to $81.9 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $85.2 million at December 31, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our historical financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management.
 
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to those previously disclosed in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In 2011, we had two reportable segments: Subscriptions and Interactive Services and EHR. On February 24, 2012, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, as authorized by the Board of Directors, approved the discontinuation of Epocrates’ EHR product. In the first quarter of 2012, we qualified for discontinued operations presentation under GAAP, and at such time, the EHR operating segment results were reported in loss from discontinued operations on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Prior period amounts have been revised in order to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Revenues
 
We generate revenue by providing healthcare companies with interactive services to engage with our network of users and through the sale of subscriptions to our premium drug and clinical reference tools to healthcare professionals.

Subscriptions. Subscriptions revenue decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in subscriptions revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to the unusually high number of unused license code expirations for which we recognized revenue in the first half of 2011. The difference in unused license code expirations contributed to $1.0 million of the decrease in subscriptions revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $2.1 million of the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decline in subscriptions revenue was additionally impacted by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and approximately $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 in iTunes App Store sales, as we decreased our offering of Modality applications from the prior year. We expect the percentage of users who pay for a subscription to remain unchanged or even decrease over time. As a result, we expect subscription revenue from our premium products to decrease in total and as a percentage of revenue in the future.
 
Interactive Services.  Interactive services revenue increased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $0.3 million increase in interactive services revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was due to a $0.7 million increase in market research services, which was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in pharmaceutical revenues. The $0.2 million increase in interactive services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is the result of a $1.1 million increase in market research services, which was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in pharmaceutical revenues and a $0.4 million decrease in formulary hosting revenues. The $0.5 million decrease in pharmaceutical revenues is largely attributable to a $0.6 million decline in EssentialPoints revenue as a result of a reduced number of running activities in the year-to-date.
 
Cost of revenues
 
Cost of revenues consists of the costs related to providing services to clients which include salaries and related personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, service support costs, payments to participants for market research surveys we conduct for our clients, third-party royalties and allocated overhead. Third-party royalties consist of fees paid to branded content owners for the use of their intellectual property in our premium drug and reference products. Allocated overhead represents expenses such as rent, occupancy charges and information technology costs that we allocate to all departments based on headcount. We also allocate depreciation and amortization expense to cost of revenues.

Subscriptions. Cost of subscriptions revenue decreased by $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 versus the same periods in 2011. As a percentage of subscriptions revenue, cost of subscriptions revenue was 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Cost of subscriptions revenue was 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. These increases in cost of subscriptions revenue as a percentage of subscriptions revenue is due to the decline in subscriptions revenue from the same period in the prior year as a result of the recognition of revenue on an unusually high number of expired license codes during the first half of 2011.
 
Interactive Services. Cost of interactive services revenue increased approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to increases of $0.5 million in honoraria expenses as a result of higher market research activity in the second quarter of 2012, $0.3 million in increased co-location employee-related expenses as a result of hiring new employees and $0.3 million in fulfillment and partner fees associated with our mSampling and DocAlert

18


product offerings.

Cost of interactive services revenue increased approximately $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to increases of $0.7 million in honoraria expenses as a result of higher market research activity in the first half of 2012, $0.7 million in fulfillment and partner fees associated with our mSampling and DocAlert product offerings and $0.7 million in increased co-location employee-related expenses as a result of hiring new employees.

Cost of interactive services revenue as a percentage of interactive services revenue was 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Sales and marketing expense
 
Sales and marketing expense primarily consists of salaries and related personnel expenses, sales commissions, stock-based compensation, trade show expenses, promotional expenses, public relations expenses and allocated overhead.
 
Sales and marketing expense increased approximately $0.2 million, or 4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus the same period in 2011. This increase was due to a $0.4 million increase in salaries expense as a result of several positions being filled in the three months ended June 30, 2012; this increase was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in sales commissions as a result of a revised commission plan for 2012. Sales and marketing expense decreased approximately $0.8 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a $0.9 million reduction in sales commissions as a result of a revised commission plan for 2012.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues increased from 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues was 24% both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
Research and development expense
 
Research and development expense primarily consists of salaries and related personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, allocated overhead, consultant fees and expenses related to the design, development, testing and enhancements of our services.

Research and development expense increased approximately $0.3 million, or 6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in consulting fees. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expense was 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Research and development expense increased approximately $0.1 million, or 1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expense was 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and was 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

General and administrative expense
 
General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries and related personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, consulting, audit fees, legal fees, allocated overhead and other general corporate expenses.
 
General and administrative expense decreased $0.7 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in legal fees, as the three months ended June 30, 2011 included legal fees associated with the SEC subpoena, which was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in professional fees necessary to comply with the financial statement and internal controls audit requirements for public companies. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and was 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

General and administrative expense decreased $1.9 million, or 16%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $0.9 million in legal fees, $0.7 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.3 million in recruiting expenses. We incurred significant legal and other professional fees during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to support our compliance with the subpoena received in connection with an SEC investigation. The $0.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily due to additional stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 that was recorded in connection with the modification of the terms

19


of the stock options held by certain directors who resigned from the Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2011. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and was 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Facilities exit costs
 
We recorded a charge of approximately $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 relating to facilities exit costs. We vacated our East Windsor, New Jersey office in the first quarter of 2011 and relocated our New Jersey operations to Ewing, New Jersey. We had signed a non-cancellable lease with the landlord which does not expire until the end of fiscal 2012 and therefore we will be liable to make monthly lease rentals under the contract. The liability recorded at fair value is based on the present value of the remaining lease rentals and is reduced for the estimated sub-lease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property.
 
Gain on settlement and change in fair value of contingent consideration
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, gain on settlement and change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects a gain of approximately $6.4 million as a result of an agreement we entered into with the sellers of MedCafe, Inc. to settle the earn-out consideration liability for a lump sum payment of $6.4 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gain on settlement and change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects a $6.4 million gain on settlement as a result of an agreement entered into with the sellers of MedCafe, Inc. during June 2011 offset by an increase in contingent consideration expense of $0.5 million related to revaluing the contingent consideration liability to its fair value as of March 31, 2011.

Benefit from (provision for) income taxes
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million was allocated to continuing operations, with the balance of $0.1 million allocated to discontinued operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 million, which was comprised of a tax provision of approximately $3.0 million allocated to continuing operations and a tax benefit of $0.5 million allocated to discontinued operations. The income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2012 represented the federal and state statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense. The income tax provision during the three months ended June 30, 2011 represented the federal and state statutory tax rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense partially offset by research and development credits.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million, of which $0.3 million was allocated to continuing operations, with the balance of $0.8 million allocated to discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.7 million, which was comprised of a tax provision of approximately $3.2 million allocated to continuing operations and a tax benefit of $1.5 million allocated to discontinued operations. The income tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2012 represented the federal and state statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense. The income tax provision during the six months ended June 30, 2011 represented the federal and state statutory tax rates adjusted for non-deductible stock compensation expense partially offset by research and development credits.

At June 30, 2012, our estimated annual effective tax rate was approximately 27% versus an estimated annual effective tax rate of 42% at June 30, 2011. The difference in the effective tax rate year over year is primarily due to changes in management's projections of estimated annual income or loss. We determine our interim tax benefit from (provision for) income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology. Our annual effective tax rate is affected by our forecasted net income, research tax credits, stock compensation expense related to incentive stock options, or ISOs, and the expected level of other tax benefits. Our annual effective tax rate is difficult to predict because it will be impacted by any disqualifying dispositions of ISOs by our employees. Disqualifying dispositions occur when an employee sells stock that was acquired through the exercise of an ISO within two years of the ISO grant date or one year of the ISO exercise date. Our estimated annual effective tax rate could materially change if there are a significant number of disqualifying dispositions of ISOs during the period.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Adjusted EBITDA is an unaudited number and represents net income before income and expenses unrelated to core business activities, such as: interest income, other income, net and (benefit from) provision for income taxes; non-recurring income and expenses, such as change in fair value of contingent consideration; and non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization expense (including intangible assets) related to the core business, stock-based compensation and other expenses.

20


 
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results of operations presented on a GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by GAAP. Our consolidated statements of cash flows present our cash flow activity in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
 
We believe adjusted EBITDA is used by and is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that:

EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to such items as interest income or expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and

investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of stock-based compensation expenses and other charges, which can vary widely from company to company and impair comparability.
 
Our management uses adjusted EBITDA:

as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis;
 
as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations;
 
in communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; and
 
as a significant performance measurement included in our bonus plan.

The six months ended June 30, 2011 includes the non-recurring items charges listed for the three months ended June 30, 2011, $0.6 million in facilities exit costs and an additional $0.1 million in legal expenses associated with the SEC subpoena.

Note: prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
 
The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to decreased revenue coupled with an increase in cost of revenue compared to the same periods in 2011.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2012 consisted of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $81.9 million compared to $85.2 million at December 31, 2011. We believe that our available cash resources and anticipated future cash flow from operations will provide sufficient cash resources to meet our contractual obligations and our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including retention of clients at current volume and revenue levels, our existing and new application and service offerings, competing technological and market developments and potential future acquisitions. In addition, our ability to generate cash flow is subject to numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic, regulatory and other matters affecting our clients and us.
 
Operating activities
 
Cash used in operating activities of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.5 million in prepaid expenses and other assets, primarily consisting of $0.7 million in prepaid taxes, $0.3 million in prepaid software maintenance contracts and $0.3 million in prepaid insurance. Cash used in operating activities of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $6.7 million decrease in operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily driven by a decrease of $3.7 million in deferred revenue resulting from higher billings in the first quarter of 2011 which were a result of contracts that were signed in late 2010 and an increase of $2.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Investing activities
 
Cash used in investing activities of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to $2.4 million in purchases of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with net cash used in investing activities of $5.9 million for the comparable period in 2011. The $3.7 million decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to reduced purchases of property and equipment in the current period.
 
Financing activities
 
Cash provided by financing activities of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is due to proceeds received from the exercise of common stock options. Cash provided by financing activities of $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with $28.2 million of cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $26.9 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily a result of a net cash inflow of $34.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to $64.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our IPO, partially offset by the payment of $29.6 million of aggregate cumulative dividends to the holders of our Series B preferred stock. The decline in cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was additionally offset by a $6.4 million decline due to the gain on the settlement of a contingent consideration agreement with the sellers of MedCafe, Inc. during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
Our contractual obligations at June 30, 2012 and the effects that such obligations are expected to have on future liquidity and cash flows have not changed significantly since December 31, 2011.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts.

Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
There are no material changes in market risk from the information presented in Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, we may be involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Our risk factors have not changed materially from those set forth in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2012.
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
None.

Use of Proceeds
 
On February 1, 2011, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-168176) was declared effective for our IPO. As a result of our IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option on February 3, 2011, both of which closed on February 7, 2011, we received net proceeds of approximately $62.2 million after underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.9 million. In addition, we incurred other expenses associated with our IPO of approximately $3.0 million. The net proceeds were used to pay aggregate cumulative dividends due to the holders of our Series B preferred stock totaling $29.6 million, with the balance being used for general corporate purposes.


23


There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).
