ProxyMed, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
  a)      Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ProxyMed, Inc. d/b/a MedAvant Healthcare Solutions (“MedAvant,” “our,” “we,” “us,” or “the Company”) and the notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
 
    The unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2007 (“10-K”).
 
  b)      Going Concern — Over the last several years we have experienced declining revenues, recurring losses from operations and have limitations on our access to capital. Our working capital deficit was approximately $9.6 million and our accumulated deficit was approximately $238.2 million at March 31, 2007. The Company had availability under its revolving credit facility of approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2006, approximately $1.3 million at March 31, 2007, and approximately $1.5 million as of  May 7, 2007.
 
    We closely monitor our liquidity, capital resources and financial position on an ongoing basis, and we are continuing our efforts to reduce costs and increase revenues through new product launches and expanded relationships with certain customers. In addition, we are reviewing several strategic and operational initiatives that we believe would reverse some of these negative trends and also address our current liquidity issues. These initiatives include a review of strategic assets, certain product offerings and additional cost cutting initiatives while continuing efforts to seek additional sources of long-term financing. We are hiring proven veterans of our industry’s sales force because we believe that revenue growth through new sales is an essential part of our future success.
 
    At the same time, we are finding ways to achieve greater efficiencies and reductions in operating expenses. The PhoenixSM platform, for example, is yielding significant benefits to our internal processes and workflows much like it has for our EDI customers. Accordingly, at or about the time of filing this Form 10-Q we expect to implement reductions to our operating expenses consistent with our streamlined model.
 
  c)      Revenue Recognition — Revenue is derived from our Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions segments.
 
    Revenues in our Transaction Services segment are recorded as follows:
 
    ·    For revenues derived from insurance payers, pharmacies and submitters, such revenues are recognized on a per transaction basis or flat fee basis in the period the services are rendered.
 
    ·    Revenue from our medical cost containment business is recognized when the services are performed and are recorded net of estimated allowances. These revenues are primarily in the form of fees generated from discounts we secure for payers that access our provider network.
 
    ·    Revenues associated with revenue sharing agreements are recorded as gross revenue on a per transaction basis or a percentage of revenue basis and may involve increasing amounts or percentages based on transaction or revenue volumes achieved. This treatment is in accordance
 

6


                   with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent.”
 
·    Revenue from certain up-front fees is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. This treatment is in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”).
 
·    Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 

   Revenues in our Laboratory Communication Solutions segment are recorded as follows:

                 ·    Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
·    Revenue from the sale of inventory and manufactured goods is recognized when the product is delivered, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. This treatment is in accordance with SAB No. 104.
 
·    Revenue from the rental of laboratory communication devices is recognized ratably over the period of the rental contract.
 
         d)      Allowance for Doubtful Accounts/Revenue Allowances/Bad Debt Estimates — We rely on estimates to determine revenue adjustments and the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates are based on our historical experience and the industry in which we operate. If the financial condition of our customers was to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Additionally, in our Transaction Services segment, we evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors, including historical collection ratios.
 
  In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, we record a reserve for doubtful accounts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on past write-off history and the length of time the receivables are past due. To the extent historical credit experience is not indicative of future performance or other assumptions used by management do not prevail, loss experience could differ significantly, resulting in either higher or lower future provision for losses.
 
e)      Net Loss per Share — Basic net loss per share of our Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into our Common Stock; however, the following shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive:
 
    Three months ended March 31, 

    (unaudited)   (unaudited)
    2007   2006


Common Stock excluded in the computation of net loss per share:         
       Convertible preferred stock    13,333    13,333 
       Convertible notes payable    238,989    238,989 
       Stock options    1,786,426    1,705,643 
       Warrants    13,333    857,215 


    2,052,081    2,815,180 



          f)      Share-Based Compensation – We account for stock-based awards under SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.
 
  The fair value of stock is determined using a lattice valuation model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our
 

7


current estimates. We recognized approximately $265,000 and $257,000 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
  g)      New Accounting Pronouncements — The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 is an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. Adoption of FIN 48 had no cumulative effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position at January 1, 2007. At March 31, 2007, the Company had no significant unrecognized tax benefits related to income taxes.
 
The Company's policy with respect to penalties and interest in connection with income tax assessments or related to unrecognized tax benefits is to classify penalties as provision for income taxes and interest as interest expense in its consolidated income statement.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and several state jurisdictions. We believe that the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations for years before 2003.
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” SFAS No. 157 also expands disclosure requirements to include: (a) the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities at the reporting date, (b) segregation of assets and liabilities between fair value measurements based on quoted market prices and those based on other methods and (c) information that enables users to assess the method or methods used to estimate fair value when no quoted price exists. We are currently in the process of reviewing this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
 
(2)      Inventory
 
             Inventory consists of the following as of the dates indicated, and is valued at the lower of average cost or market:

(3)      Goodwill & Other Intangible Assets
 
             As a result of the Company’s continuing revenue and stock price declines during the first quarter of 2007, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2007. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company used a discounted cash flow analysis which indicated that the book value of the Transaction Services segment exceeded its estimated fair value and that goodwill impairment had occurred. Step 2 of this impairment test, as prescribed by SFAS 142, led us to conclude that an impairment of goodwill had occurred. In addition, as a result of the goodwill analysis, the Company assessed whether there had been an impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. This impairment analysis indicated that the carrying value of certain finite-lived intangible assets was greater than their expected undiscounted future cash flows. Therefore, the Company concluded
 

8


that these intangible assets were impaired and adjusted the carrying value of these assets to fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 in its Transaction Services Segment. This charge included a $12.5 million impairment of goodwill and a $6.9 million impairment of certain other intangibles.

For March 31, 2007, we recorded no impairment charge in our Laboratory Communications Solutions segment.

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill, net, for the period ending March 31, 2007 by operating segment are as follows:

          Laboratory      
    Transaction   Communications

The estimates of useful lives of other intangible assets are based on historical experience, the industry in which we operate, or on contractual terms. Other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense was $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As of March 31, 2007, estimated future amortization of other intangible assets is as follows:

(4)      Debt Obligations
 
  (a)      Revolving Credit Facility and Term Debt - On December 7, 2005, we and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a security and purchase agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) to provide up to $20.0 million in financing to us.
 

9


             Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Laurus extended financing to us in the form of a $5.0 million secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $15.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Term Loan has a stated term of five (5) years and will accrue interest at Prime plus 2%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 8%. The Term Loan is payable in equal monthly principal installments of approximately $89,300 plus interest until the maturity date on December 6, 2010. The Revolving Credit Facility has a stated term of three (3) years and will accrue interest at the 90 day LIBOR rate plus 5%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 7%, and a maturity date of December 6, 2008 with two (2) one-year extension-options at the discretion of Laurus. Additionally, in connection with the Loan Agreement, we issued 500,000 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Closing Shares”) t o Laurus that were valued at approximately $2.4 million at the time of issuance. As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.3 million of borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility.
 
  We granted Laurus a first priority security interest in substantially all of our present and future tangible and intangible assets (including all intellectual property) to secure our obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains various customary representations and warranties of us as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, liens of property, maintaining specific forms of accounting and record maintenance, and limiting the incurrence of additional debt. The Loan Agreement does not contain restrictive covenants regarding minimum earning requirements, historical earning levels, fixed charge coverage, or working capital requirements. We can borrow up to three times the trailing 12-months of historical earnings, as defined in the agreement. Per the Loan Agreement, we are required to maintain a lock box arrangement wherein monies received by us are automatically swept to repay the loan balance on the revolving credit facility.
 
  The Loan Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, non- payment of principal and interest, violation of covenants, and in the event we are involved in certain insolvency proceedings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Laurus is entitled to, among other things, accelerate all obligations. In the event Laurus accelerates the loans, the amount due will include all accrued interest plus 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of the loans being accelerated as well as all unpaid fees and expenses of Laurus. In addition, if the Revolving Credit Facility is terminated for any reason, whether because of a prepayment or acceleration, there shall be paid an additional premium of up to 5% of the total amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. In the event we elect to prepay the Term Loan, the amount due shall be the accrued interest plus 115% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. Due to certain subjective acceleration clauses contained in the agreement and a lockbox arrangement, the revolving credit facility is classified as current in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet.
 
  (b) Convertible Notes — On December 31, 2002, we issued $13.4 million of 4% uncollateralized convertible promissory notes to the former shareholders of MedUnite as part of the consideration paid in the acquisition of MedUnite. These notes mature on December 31, 2008. Interest is payable quarterly in cash in arrears. The notes were convertible into 716,968 shares, based on a conversion price of $18.323 per share.
 
  Convertibility was dependent upon certain revenue targets being met. During the measurement period, only the first revenue target was achieved, therefore, one-third of the outstanding shares will remain convertible until December 31, 2008. The total amount of convertible notes as of March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, is $13.1 million. The notes are now convertible into 238,989 shares of our Common Stock.
 
  (c)  Notes Payable — On October 10, 2006, the Company signed two $1.0 million notes payable in conjunction with its acquisition of MRL. The notes payable accrue interest at 7% and are payable in 24 equal monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $0.1 million, beginning in November 2006.
 
(5)      Equity Transactions
 
  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we granted 76,929 stock options, at exercise prices between $2.92 and $5.65 per share to officers, directors, and employees. Such options are for ten-year terms and generally vest over four years following the date of the grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, no employee stock options were exercised, and 60,420 stock options were cancelled.

(6)      Segment Information
 
           As defined in SFAS 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, we have two operating segments: Transaction Services and Laboratory Communications. Basic differences in products, services and customer bases underlie our decision to report these two separate segments. Transaction Services focuses on electronic exchanges of information between healthcare providers and payers, whether through our EDI platform or PPO network. Technology, such as our Phoenix platform, plays an essential role in operations and serving our Transaction Services customers. Laboratory Communication Solutions produces equipment that facilitates results reporting between laboratories and healthcare providers. Therefore, the operating environment is different as is the management perspective. Besides having different customers than Transaction Services, Laboratory Communications’ revenue structure is different than Transaction Services. In additio n to selling or leasing the communication equipment, Laboratory Communications provides support services under maintenance agreements post sale. Transaction Services generally recognizes revenue when transactions are processed for a customer.
 
  Our segment reporting includes revenue and expense by each operating unit, including depreciation and amortization. Because our financing, particularly the debt, is negotiated and secured on a consolidated basis, our segment reporting does not allocate interest expense (or interest income) by reportable segment.

(7)      Income Taxes
 
            As of March 31, 2007, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $113.5 million, which was fully offset by a valuation allowance due to cumulative losses in recent years. Realization of the net deferred tax asset is dependent upon us generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the federal net operating loss carryforwards. We will adjust this valuation reserve if, during future periods, management believes we will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax asset.
 
(8)      Commitments and Contingencies
 
  (a)      Litigation — We were named as a defendant in an action filed in July 2006, in the United States District Court of New Jersey by MedAvante, Inc., (“MedAvante”). MedAvante claimed that our use of the names “MedAvant” and “MedAvant Healthcare Solutions” infringed trademark rights allegedly held by
 

11


                   MedAvante. MedAvante sought unspecified compensatory damages and injunctive relief. On February 12, 2007, the District Court issued a settlement order. The specific terms of the proposed Settlement and Release Agreement are currently being negotiated, but the total value of the settlement is expected to be approximately $1.3 million, of which $1.0 million will be covered by insurance proceeds. We have accrued a preliminary estimate of $0.3 million (net of expected insurance proceeds) based upon these negotiations.
 
  From time to time, we are a party to other legal proceedings in the course of our business. We, however, do not expect such other legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
 
      (b) Employment Agreements — We entered into employment agreements with certain executives and other members of management that provide for cash severance payments if these employees are terminated without cause. Our aggregate commitment under these agreements is $1.0 million at March 31, 2007.
 
(9) Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information 
 
Cash paid for interest was $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, and March 31, 2006, the Company made income tax payments to the state of New York in the amounts of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
 
(10)    Subsequent Event
 
            On April 30, 2007, we executed an agreement for the sale of our pharmacy transaction processing business for $0.5 million, consisting of $0.4 million in cash received at closing and $0.1 million held in escrow to be received on or about October 29, 2007. In connection with this transaction, we were released from a contingent obligation to pay up to $10 million to the pharmacy transaction business’ former owner. See Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

        Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to ProxyMed, Inc.’s (“ProxyMed,” “MedAvant,” “our,” “us,” “we,” or “the Company”) unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and notes thereto and to the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2007. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company,” “ProxyMed” or “MedAvant” re fer to ProxyMed, Inc., d/b/a MedAvant Healthcare Solutions, and its subsidiaries.

Introduction

        MedAvant Healthcare Solutions (“MedAvant”) is an information technology company that facilitates the exchange of medical claim and clinical information among doctors, hospitals, medical laboratories, pharmacies and insurance payers. MedAvant also enables the electronic transmission of laboratory results and prescription orders.

        MedAvant is a trade name of ProxyMed, Inc. which was incorporated in 1989 in Florida. In December 2005, ProxyMed began doing business under the new operating name, MedAvant Healthcare Solutions, to unite all business units and employees under one brand identity. The new name was one of several results of a strategic analysis completed in the third quarter of 2005 following the acquisition of seven companies between 1997 and 2004.

        Whether we are working with our 550,000 healthcare provider-customers, 42,000 pharmacies, 200 labs or 1,500 insurance payers, our goal is the same: provide the business intelligence necessary to expedite clinical and healthcare transactions. We make the transactions secure, faster, more accurate and more economical by using our processing platform known as Phoenix. With this real-time processing system, we provide visibility into an insurance claim’s entire lifecycle, from the time the provider files it to the time the insurance payer reimburses the provider. That information provides data our customers use to improve their business efficiencies. The Phoenix platform is currently used at less than 40% of capacity; therefore, we can easily scale with future growth.

        Management believes MedAvant is the nation’s fourth largest claims processor and is among the top five independent Preferred Provider Organizations (“PPO”). Management believes we are the largest company that facilitates delivery of laboratory results, and we have several larger competitors in the electronic prescription
delivery industry.

Operating Segments

        We operate two separately managed reportable segments: Transaction Services and Laboratory Communications. A description of these segments, their primary services and our source of revenue, in each, is as follows:

Transaction Services

     ·    Processing claims. The primary tool our customers use to process claims is a real-time web portal called myMedAvant, powered by our Phoenix platform. It offers standard and premium services with features such as verifying a patient’s insurance, enrolling with payers, tracking a claim’s progress with the payer and retrieving reports from payers. On average, we processed approximately 750,000 revenue-related transactions a day in 2006. Providers pay for claims processing based on either a flat monthly fee or a per- transaction fee.
 
     ·    Operating a PPO. Our PPO is called the National Preferred Provider Network (“NPPNTM ” or “NPPN”) and is accessed by more than 7,000,000 patients, 550,000 physicians, 4,000 acute care facilities and 90,000 ancillary care providers. We generate revenue primarily by charging participating payers a percentage of the savings they receive through NPPN. Because we operate a PPO, we can offer payers discounts on claims when a patient uses an out-of-network provider and we can negotiate non-discounted claims for
 

13




Laboratory Communications

     ·    Printing Technology. Our intelligent printing technology is integrated into printers for labs to purchase and install in physician offices. This allows for the secure transmittal of laboratory reports. Laboratories also purchase support, maintenance and monitoring programs to manage printers that have our integrated technology.
 
·    Pilot. This patent-pending, web-enabled device sits in a provider’s office and is used to transfer lab reports in virtually any format to a printer, a personal computer or a hand-held device. It integrates with most Practice Management Systems and usually saves the provider the cost of a dedicated phone line. Labs either purchase Pilot devices with an annual support program or they subscribe to Pilot with a program that includes support services.
 
·    Fleet Management System (“FMS”). Labs use this online tool to monitor printers in provider offices and receive alerts for routine problems such as a printer being out of paper or having a paper jam. FMS can also be used to monitor printer inventory and schedule regular maintenance. Labs pay a monthly fee per printer to use FMS.

        Net Revenues. Consolidated net revenues decreased $3.1 million, or 17%, to $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

        Net revenues in our Transaction Services segment decreased by $2.7 million, or 18%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease resulted primarily from lost customer volumes due to pricing pressures and increased direct customer connectivity to payers ($2.1 million). Additionally, we experienced a drop in transaction services revenue due to the elimination of certain unprofitable product lines beginning in late 2005 and continuing into early 2006 ($0.8 million). These decreases in revenue were partially offset by revenue generated by our recent acquisition of MRL ($0.2 million). We do not expect revenues to reverse the declining trends which we have experienced during the year 2006, and the quarter ended March 3 1, 2007; yet we do expect that our revenues will not continue this 18% rate of decline, as mentioned above.

        Laboratory Communication Solutions segment net revenues decreased by $0.4 million, or 12%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due primarily to one of our largest customers postponing orders during the month of March due to their warehousing issues, and also the continued downturn in business from another of our largest customers. We do not expect revenues to reverse the declining trends which we have experienced during the year 2006, and the quarter ended March 31, 2007; yet we do expect that our revenues will not continue this 12% rate of decline, as mentioned above.

        Cost of Sales. Consolidated cost of sales decreased $1.7 million, or 28%, to $4.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $5.8 million for the same period last year.

    10,811    72.1   12,238    67.7



        Cost of sales in our Transaction Services segment consists of EDI transaction fees, provider network access fees, services and license fees, third-party electronic transaction processing costs, certain telecommunication and co-location center costs, and revenue sharing arrangements with our business partners. Cost of sales decreased $1.3 million, or 31%, to $2.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $4.3 million for the same period last year. Cost of sales as a percentage of segment net revenues improved to 24% during the period from 28% last year. This improvement was primarily due to the corresponding decrease in net revenues during the period (18%) coupled with the impact of our re-contracting with certain of our vend ors during 2006. Gross margins on Transaction Services increased to 76% during the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 72% in the same period last year as management continues to focus on more profitable product lines.

        Cost of sales in our Laboratory Communication Solutions segment includes hardware, third party software, consumable materials, direct manufacturing labor and indirect manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales decreased $0.3 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of segment revenue decreased to 48% during the period, from 53% last year. This improvement was a result of an increased proportion of Pilot in our sales mix, which has higher margins, which in this segment increased gross margins to 52% during the period, compared to 47% last year.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2007, by $0.7 million, or 6%, to $10.8 million from $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 72% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from 63% in the same period last year. The number of our employees decreased to 333 at March 31, 2007, from 384 at March 31, 2006.

        Transaction Services segment SG&A expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 6%, to $10.1 million for the three months ending March 31, 2007, compared to $10.7 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to lower payroll expenses ($1.0 million), resulting from our reduction in the number of employees, along with improved operational efficiencies and lower commissions ($0.1 million). These were partially offset by increases in outside labor fees of $0.3 million as we migrate our PPO operating business to ppoONE.

        Laboratory Communication Solutions segment SG&A expenses remained flat at $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006.

        Impairment Charges. As a result of the Company’s continuing revenue and stock price declines during the first quarter of 2007, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2007. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company used a discounted cash flow analysis which indicated that the book value of the Transaction Services segment exceeded its estimated fair value and that goodwill impairment had occurred. In addition, as a result of the goodwill analysis, the Company assessed whether there had been an impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The Company concluded that the book value of certain intangible assets was higher than their expec ted future cash flows and that impairment had occurred. In addition, the Company also reduced the remaining useful lives of its other intangible assets based on the foregoing analysis. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 in its Transaction Services Segment. This charge included a $12.5 million impairment of goodwill and a $6.9 million impairment of certain other intangibles.

16


        For March 31, 2007, we recorded no impairment charge in our Laboratory Communications Solutions segment.

        Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.1 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $1.7 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily the result of our recent acquisition of MRL and our recent build out of our mirrored back up site in Texas.

        Operating Loss. As a result of the foregoing, the combined operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was $21.2 million compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million for the same period last year.

        Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was $1.0 million compared to $0.7 for the same period last year. This increase in expense was primarily due to higher effective interest charges on our Laurus debt facility and increased borrowings. We anticipate that interest expense will increase as our borrowings on our revolving credit facility increase.

        Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was $22.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Over the last several years we have experienced declining revenues, recurring losses from operations and have limitations on our access to capital. Our working capital deficit was approximately $9.6 million and our accumulated deficit was approximately $238.2 million as of March 31, 2007. We had availability under our revolving credit facility of approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2006, approximately $1.3 million at March 31, 2007, and approximately $1.5 million as of May 7, 2007.

        As a result of these items, our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.

        We closely monitor our liquidity, capital resources and financial position on an ongoing basis, and we are continuing our efforts to reduce costs and increase revenues through new product launches and expanded relationships with certain customers. In addition, we are reviewing several strategic and operational initiatives that we believe would reverse some of these negative trends and also address current liquidity issues. These initiatives include a review of our strategic assets (including the sale of our pharmacy transaction business line on April 30, 2007), certain product offerings and additional cost cutting initiatives while continuing efforts to seek additional sources of long-term financing. We are hiring proven veterans of our industry’s sales f orce because we believe that revenue growth through new sales is an essential part of our future success.

        At the same time we are finding ways to achieve greater efficiencies and reductions in operating expenses. The Phoenix platform, for example, is yielding significant benefits to our internal processes and workflows much like it has for our EDI customers. Accordingly, at or about the time of filing this Form 10-Q we expect to implement reductions to our operating expenses consistent with our streamlined model.

        We believe that we will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand or available to us under our credit facility to fund our operations and capital requirements through 2007. Management has discretion over its capital expenditures, and will continue to evaluate the Company’s cost structure and asset base, in order to remain solvent. Management will also focus upon revenue growth, and balancing the relationship between maximizing cash realizations of receivables, and also to manage committed expenditures. If we require additional funding in the future to satisfy any of our outstanding future obligations or to further our strategic plans, there can be no assurance that any additional funding will be available to us, or if available, that it will be av ailable on acceptable terms. If we are successful in obtaining additional financing, the terms of the financing may have the effect of significantly diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our Common Stock. We believe that if we are not successful in obtaining additional financing for further product development or strategic acquisitions, such inability may adversely impact our ability to successfully execute our business plan and may put us at a significant competitive disadvantage.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash used by operating activities totaled $2.3 million, related to our continued effort to pay down outstanding payables and accrued expenses during the first quarter of

17


2007; and otherwise for our net loss from operations. Cash used by investing activities totaled $0.5 million for the funding of capital expenditures related to our technical infrastructure and administrative systems, and capitalized development of internal systems. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $750,000 on capital expenditures, including capitalized development costs, for the remainder of 2007. These capital expenditures may be deferred to future periods by management at its discretion. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $2.5 million, consisting of drawings on our Laurus credit facility for the repayments of notes payable, payments of other long-term debt, payments related to capital leases, and funding our net cash used by operating activities.

        On December 7, 2005, we entered into a loan transaction with Laurus pursuant to which Laurus extended $20 million in financing to us in the form of a $5.0 million secured term loan and a $15.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The term loan has a stated term of five (5) years and will accrue interest at Prime plus 2%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 8%. The term loan is payable in equal monthly principal installments of approximately $89,300 plus interest until the maturity date on December 6, 2010. The revolving credit facility has a stated term of three (3) years, with two one-year extension options, and will accrue interest at the 90 day LIBOR rate plus 5%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 7%, and a maturity date of December 6, 2008. In connection with the Loan Agreement, we issued 500,000 shares of our Common Stock to Laurus. We also granted Laurus a first priority security interest in substantially all of our present and future tangible and intangible assets (including all intellectual property) to secure our obligations under the Loan Agreement. As of May 7, 2007, we had approximately $1.5 million available on our revolving credit facility and cash available. Per the Loan Agreement, we are required to maintain a lock box arrangement wherein monies received by us are automatically swept to repay the loan balance on the revolving credit facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not r eadily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we believe that any variation in results would not have a material effect on our financial condition. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis.

        We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

        Revenue Recognition - Revenue is derived from our Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions segments.

        Revenues in our Transaction Services segment are recorded as follows:

      ·      For revenues derived from insurance payers, pharmacies, and submitters, such revenues are recognized on a per transaction basis or flat fee basis in the period the services are rendered.
 
·      Revenue from our medical cost containment business is recognized when the services are performed and are recorded net of estimated allowances. These revenues are primarily in the form of fees generated from discounts we secure for payers that access our provider network.
 
·      Revenues associated with revenue sharing agreements are recorded on a per transaction basis or a percentage of revenue basis and may involve increasing amounts or percentages based on transaction or revenue volumes achieved. This treatment is in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent.”
 
·      Revenue from certain up-front fees is recognized ratably over the contract’s life. This treatment is in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”).
 

18


      ·      Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 

        Revenues in our Laboratory Communication Solutions segment are recorded as follows:

      ·      Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
·      Revenue from the sale of inventory and manufactured goods is recognized when the product is delivered, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. This treatment is in accordance with SAB No. 104.
 
·      Revenue from the rental of laboratory communication devices is recognized ratably over the period of the rental contract.
 

        Capitalized Software Development and Research and Development – Costs incurred internally and fees paid to outside contractors and consultants during the application development stage of our internally used software products are capitalized. Costs of upgrades and major enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized. Costs incurred for maintenance and minor upgrades are expensed as incurred. All other costs are expensed as incurred as research and development expenses (included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”). Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. Once the project i s completed, capitalized costs are amortized over their remaining estimated economic life. Our judgment is used in determining whether costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. We periodically review projected cash flows and other criteria in assessing the impairment of any internal-use capitalized software and take impairment charges as needed.

        Allowance for Revenue Adjustments/Doubtful Accounts/Bad Debt Estimates – We rely on estimates to determine the revenue adjustments, bad debt expense and the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates are based on our historical experience, including historical collection ratios, and the industry in which we operate. If the financial condition of a customer was to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 is an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. Adoption of FIN 48 had no cumulative effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position at January 1, 2007. At March 31, 2007, the Company had no significant unrecognized tax benefits related to income taxes.

        The Company's policy with respect to penalties and interest in connection with income tax assessments or related to unrecognized tax benefits is to classify penalties as provision for income taxes and interest as interest expense in its consolidated income statement.

        The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and several state jurisdictions. We believe that the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations for years before 2003.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” SFAS No. 157 also expands disclosure requirements to include: (a) the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities at the reporting date, (b) segregation of assets and liabilities between fair value measurements based on quoted market prices and those based on other methods and (c) information that enables users to assess the method or methods used to estimate fair value when no quoted price exists. We are currently in the process of reviewing this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. 

19


        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial statements.

Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

        Statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report contain information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements present our expectations or forecasts of future events. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They frequently are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. In particular, these inc lude statements relating to: our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates; our successful integration of any future acquisitions; our ability to successfully sell certain business units; our ability to successfully develop, market, sell, cross-sell, install and upgrade our clinical and financial transaction services and applications to new and current physicians, payers, medical laboratories and pharmacies; our ability to compete effectively on price and support services; our ability to increase revenues and revenue opportunities; and our ability to meet expectations regarding future capital needs and the availability of credit and other financing sources.

        All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any projections of earnings, revenues, synergies, accretion, margins or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the execution of integration and restructuring plans and the anticipated timing of filings, approvals and closings relating to the merger or other planned acquisitions or dispositions; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, developments or industry rankings; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

        Actual results may differ significantly from projected results due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the soundness of our business strategies relative to perceived market opportunities; our assessment of the healthcare industry’s need, desire and ability to become technology efficient; market acceptance of our products and services; and our ability and that of our business associates to comply with various government rules regarding healthcare information and patient privacy.

        Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict. We refer you to the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth in the documents we file from time to time with the SEC, particularly our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2007. Shareholders are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking stat ements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        We own no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We have no international sales and, therefore, we do not believe that we are exposed to material risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, or tax changes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon such evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processe d, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission rules and forms.

        There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        We were named as a defendant in an action filed in July 2006, in the United States District Court of New Jersey by MedAvante, Inc., (“MedAvante”). MedAvante claimed that our use of the names “MedAvant” and “MedAvant Healthcare Solutions” infringed trademark rights allegedly held by MedAvante. MedAvante sought unspecified compensatory damages and injunctive relief. On February 12, 2007, the District Court issued a settlement order. The specific terms of the proposed Settlement and Release Agreement are currently being negotiated, but the total value of the settlement is expected to be approximately $1.3 million, of which $1.0 million will be covered by insurance proceeds. The Company has accrued a preliminary estimate of $0.3 million (net of expected insurance proceeds) based upon these negotiations.

        From time to time, we are a party to other legal proceedings in the course of our business. We, however, do not expect such other legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

        There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed on March 15, 2007.

5.     Termination.

        a) Involuntary Termination for Death or Disability. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon Executive’s death. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company for Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" is defined to mean the inability of Executive due to illness or physical or mental infirmity (as determined by a physician selected by Executive and acceptable to the Company) to perform Executive’s duties hereunder on a full-time basis for six (6) consecutive months with reasonable accommodation by the Company. Upon termination due to death or Disability, Executive or Executive’s beneficiary or estate or legal representative shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable under Section 5(c).

        b) Termination by Company For Cause. The Company may terminate Executive's employment with the Company at any time “For Cause” effective immediately, unless stated otherwise in writing, upon giving written notice thereof to Executive, which notice shall state with reasonable specificity the facts supporting the termination “For Cause.” “For Cause” shall include the following:

                (i) Conviction of, or pleading guilty to, a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, fraud, dishonesty or theft or engaging in any act which is a violation of any law or regulation protecting the rights of employees or;

                (ii) Failure by Executive to satisfactorily perform the duties stated herein or to substantially perform such duties in accordance with any tasks, goals, and objectives as assigned from time to time by the Company in writing, if Executive has not corrected or remedied, or has not commenced to correct or remedy, such unsatisfactorily or non-substantial performance of such specified duties within thirty (30) days (or such other time as may be provided in writing by the Company) of Executive’s actual receipt of such written notice; or

                (iii) Executive’s gross negligence or willful misconduct relating to the Company that is materially injurious to the Company; or

                (iv) Executive’s excessive use of alcohol or illegal drugs that (A) interferes with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder; and (B) continues even after written warning regarding such excessive use is actually received by Executive; or

                (v) Executive’s abandonment of his position or termination of this Agreement for “No Good Reason;” or

                (vi) Any material breach by Executive of this Agreement or of any of the Company’s applicable written policies then in effect, including without limitations, the Company’s Code of Ethics for Officers and Directors with written notice thereof by the Company, provided such notice is actually received by Executive and an appropriate period to cure such material breach, if such breach is curable, is given and has expired.

        Upon the Company’s termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment For Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to, and the Company shall pay the Executive the following “For Cause Separation Pay”: the Executive’s Base Salary and benefits through the effective date of termination at the Executive’s then current rate (including any applicable pro rated bonus and accrued vacation pay). Except as provided for herein or in any other written agreement, the Company shall have no other liabilities or obligations to Executive upon payment in full of the For Cause Separation Pay.

3


        c) Termination by Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate “Without Cause” Executive’s employment with the Company or this Agreement at any time for any or no reason upon thirty (30) Days written notice. Such termination by Company shall be deemed to be “without cause” by the Company. In the event of termination by the Company pursuant to this Section, Executive shall execute a full and complete release of any and all claims against the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, in which event, for a period of six (6) months commencing from the effective date of termination, the Executive shall be entitled to and shall receive, and the Compan y shall pay the following “Without Cause Separation Pay”: (i) An amount equal to Executive's Base Salary as of the date of termination; plus (ii) a pro rata portion of any accrued vacation not already taken and of any bonus that would have been paid to Executive under any bonus plan which is adopted by the Company's Compensation Committee or Board of Directors in such year if the Company and Executive had met the targeted goals to the date of termination; plus (iii) the continuation for three (3) months from the effective date of termination of all of Executive’s benefits including, without limitation, all insurance plans, on the same terms and conditions as had been provided to Executive prior to the termination, all of the foregoing which shall be payable in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices then in effect, plus (iv) any unvested options shall be vested as of the date of termination.

        d) Termination by Executive For Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement for “Good Reason” by giving the Company thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) to that effect, specifically stating Executive’s Good Reason for terminating in sufficient detail to allow the Company to respond effectively to the notice, with the termination becoming effective on the 31st day after such notice is actually received by the Company (the “Termination Date”), unless the Company at its option cures any alleged breach, if curable, on or before the Termination Date, or if the breach is not capable of being cured within the Notice Period, Company made good faith efforts to cure any alleged breach prior to the Termination Date. The stated Good Reason must be one or more of any of the reasons defined as a “Good Reason” herein. As used in this Agreement, a “Good Reason” means termination by Executive only for any one or more of the following reasons:

                (i) Any reduction of Executive’s then-current Base Salary without Executive’s prior written consent; or

                (ii) Any material breach of this Agreement by the Company, not cured or in the process of being cured by the Company as provided herein after the Company receives not less than 30 days prior written notice by the Executive.

                An Executive’s termination for any of the foregoing Good Reasons shall be treated the same as a termination “Without Cause” by the Company for purposes of calculating separation pay, entitling the Executive to the Without Cause Separation Pay set forth in Section 5(c).

        e) Termination by Executive for No Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement for any reason (other than a Good Reason) or no reason at any time with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company (such termination shall be called a termination for "No Good Reason"). After the Company receives notice of a termination for No Good Reason, the Company may by written notice to the Executive cause the effective date of any such termination to be accelerated without causing such termination to be considered a termination by the Company Without Cause. Executive’s termination for No Good Reason shall be treated the same as a termination “For Cause” by the Company for purposes of calculating separation pay, entitling the Executive to the For Cause Separation Pay set forth in Section 5(b). For avoidance of doubt, a termination by Executive for any reason that is also a Good Reason shall be treated as a termination by Executive for Good Reason as set forth in Section 5(d).

4


        f) Return of Company Property. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Executive shall immediately return to the Company all property of the Company in Executive's possession, including Confidential Information (as defined below). Executive acknowledges that the Company may withhold any compensation and benefits owed to Executive hereunder until all such property is returned in good condition, normal wear and tear excepted.

        g) Change in Control.

        e) Executive acknowledges that there is no general geographical restriction contained in this Section 6 because the Company’s and/or Affiliates’ Customers are not confined to one geographical area or operate on a national level. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction were to determine that any of the foregoing covenants would be held to be unreasonable in time or distance or scope, the time or distance or scope may be reduced by appropriate order of the court to that deemed reasonable.

        f) Executive confirms that Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous Company or other party which restricts in any way Executive’s use or disclosure of information or Executive’s engagement in any business, except as Executive may disclose in a separate schedule attached to this Agreement prior to Company’s and Executive’s execution of this Agreement.

If the Executive should fail to so defend and/or indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties, then in such instance the Indemnified Parties shall have full rights to defend, pay or settle said Indemnity Event on their behalf without notice to Executive and with full rights to recourse against Executive for all fees, costs, expenses and payments made or agreed to be paid to discharge said Indemnity Event.

        g) Assistance in Litigation. Executive shall upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and proper assistance to the Company as it may reasonably require in connection with any litigation in which the Company is, or may become, a party either during or after Executive’s employment with the Company.

        h) Injunctive Relief.

                i) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations contained in this Section 6 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of this Section will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies at law are not available. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled (without having to post a bond or other surety) to an injunction, restraining order, or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining the Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 6.

                ii) The Company's rights and remedies under this Section 6 are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may have pursuant to the specific provisions of this Agreement and at law or in equity.

        SECTION 7.4. Procedure for Indemnification: Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under either Section 7.1, or 7.2 of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it by a third party, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under either such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.

                b. If any proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such proceeding), to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such

~ 10 ~


proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemni fying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (b) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten (10) days after the indemnified party’s n otice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

                c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

        The pharmacy business was MedAvant’s smallest business line and it did not complement their business strategy. This sell allows MedAvant to now focus on its key business lines.

        The divestiture was a small but important step in simplifying MedAvant’s business structure and focusing on their core business lines, which hold the best opportunity for future growth.

        The sell allows MedAvant to focus on its core strategy of leveraging their Phoenix and Pilot technologies and well as their national PPO in order to build upon a strong market presence in their core business lines.

        WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

        WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement contemplates that Buyer and Seller will enter into this Agreement in connection with the payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of the Purchase Price to Seller.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants as set forth herein, and subject to the representations, warranties, and conditions contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

        Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are restated and incorporated into this Agreement as fully as if set forth herein.

        Section 2. Purchase Agreement. Undefined capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Purchase Agreement. Except for referring to definitions of certain undefined capitalized terms herein, the Escrow Agent is not charged with any duties or responsibilities under the Purchase Agreement.

        Section 3. Escrow Fund.

        3.1 Escrow Deposit. Upon execution of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the “Escrow Deposit”) into SunTrust Bank, ABA: 061000104, Account: 9443001321, Account Name: Corporate Agency Services, Reference: SureScripts/ProxyMed – 7920801, Attention: Emily J. Hare (804) 782-5400. The term “Escrow Fund” means the Escrow Deposit and all accumulated interest thereon. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard, and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the t erms and conditions hereof.

        3.2 Tax Liability. Any tax liability attributable to the payment of any amount payable to either party with respect to the Escrow Fund will be the responsibility of the Party receiving the distribution from the Escrow Fund. Buyer and Seller, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any liability on account of


taxes to which the Escrow Agent may be or becomes subject in connection with, or that arises out of, this Escrow Agreement, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and experts’ fees and expenses), interest, and penalties, other than any taxes payable by the Escrow Agent due to the payment to it of the Escrow Agent fees as contemplated herein.

        Section 4. Escrow Period and Distribution Upon Termination.

        4.1 The Escrow Fund will remain in existence from the date hereof until October 29, 2007, unless terminated or extended as provided for hereunder.

        4.3 Buyer may deliver to Escrow Agent at any time prior to October 29, 2007, written authorization to distribute to Seller the Escrow Deposit (i.e., one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)), in which case Escrow Agent shall, as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of such notice, distribute to Seller the Escrow Deposit (i.e., one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)).

        4.4 Buyer may, by written notice delivered to Escrow Agent and Seller on or before the close of business on October 29, 2007, direct the Escrow Agent to retain beyond such date the Escrow Fund because, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, the conditions set forth in Section 1.5(b) of the Purchase Agreement have not been satisfied (a “Buyer Non-Compliance Notice”).

        4.5 In no event shall Seller be entitled to more than the Escrow Deposit (i.e., one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)). Any amounts in the Escrow Fund in excess of Escrow Deposit shall be delivered to Buyer at the same time that the Escrow Deposit is distributed to Seller.

        Section 5. Dispute Resolution. All disputes arising under this Agreement (“Disputes”) will be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.11 hereof. Upon resolution of a Dispute under such Section 8.11, Buyer and Seller will cause the written determination of the resolution contemplated by such section to be delivered to Escrow Agent promptly.

In the event such efforts do not resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days from the date the of receipt by a Party of written notice of a dispute, a Party may demand arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under its Commercial Arbitration Rules th en in effect, such arbitration to be final, conclusive, and binding.

If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking, and ranking procedure in the rules of the AAA. Any arbitrator appo inted by the AAA shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen years of experience with large commercial cases and an experienced arbitrator.

EXHIBIT 10.46

NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT

        THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of this 30th day of April, 2007, by and between ProxyMed, Inc. d/b/a MedAvant Healthcare Solutions, a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Florida (“Seller”), and SureScripts, LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (“Buyer”).

        WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Buyer has agreed to purchase the Pharmacy Processing Business of Seller, all as set forth in such Purchase Agreement;

        WHEREAS, as a material part of the benefit of the bargain and as an inducement to Buyer, without which Buyer would not enter into the Purchase Agreement, Seller has promised and agreed to abide by the covenants and promises set forth in this Agreement; and

        WHEREAS, Buyer would not enter into the Purchase Agreement or pay to Seller any of the proposed purchase price pursuant to the Purchase Agreement without Seller agreeing to abide by the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto promise and agree as follows:

        1. Incorporation of Recitals; Definitions; Acknowledgments.

        (a) The foregoing recitals are restated and incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

        (b) Seller acknowledges that: (i) the Restricted Activity (as defined below) is intensely competitive; (ii) Seller has knowledge of Seller Confidential Information (defined below) associated with the sale of the Pharmacy Processing Business; (iii) the disclosure by Seller of any such Seller Confidential Information to competitors of Buyer may place Buyer at a competitive disadvantage and may do damage, monetary or otherwise, to Buyer; (iv) the engagement by Seller, or by any party at any time during the Restricted Period controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Seller (each a “Seller Party”) in any of the activities prohibited by Sections 2 or 7 hereof would constitute a bre ach of this Agreement and may constitute improper appropriation and/or use of such Seller Confidential Information; (v) Seller has been advised by counsel in connection with its entering into this Agreement; and (vi) the noncompetition and other restrictive covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are reasonable.

        (c) As used herein, “Seller Confidential Information” shall mean non-public information of Seller owned and/or known by Seller related to the Pharmacy Processing Business being purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. “Seller Confidential Information” shall not include any information (i) that is generally known or becomes known to


the public other than as a result of disclosure by Seller in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was or becomes available to others on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller; or (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of Buyer.

        2. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. Except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, from the date hereof until April 30, 2012 (the “Restricted Period”), Seller and each and every Seller Party shall not, directly or indirectly, in the United States or any territory of the United States:

        (a) (i) own, (ii) operate, (iii) manage, (iv) lease, (v) control, and/or (vi) render services (including consulting services) (the restriction related to services shall be limited to services related to Electronic Prescribing Transactions) to, be an investor in, or be a lender to, any person, entity, or business that owns, operates, manages, leases, or controls:

                an electronic network that establishes, facilitates, and/or maintains connectivity between and among providers, pharmacies, and/or pharmacy benefit management companies for the purpose of processing, routing, delivering, and/or exchanging Electronic Prescribing Transactions (as defined below) (all of subsection (a) to be referred to herein as the “Restricted Activity”);

        (b) intentionally interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to disrupt any current contractual relationship between Buyer and any customer, supplier, or employee of Buyer; or

        (c) employ, hire, or solicit for employment, or attempt to employ, hire, or solicit for employment, any person employed by Buyer as of the date hereof or during the Restricted Period, or induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any person employed by Buyer as of the date hereof or during the Restricted Period, to terminate his or her employment with Buyer.

        For purposes of this Agreement, Electronic Prescribing Transactions is defined as electronic prescribing messages (including, but not limited to, new prescriptions, refill requests, refill responses, stop orders), formulary and/or eligibility messages related to prescription claims, and patient identifiable medication history as derived from electronic prescribing messages, formulary and/or eligibility messages, and/or the dispensed history data bases of pharmacies, whether through true electronic data interchange or facsimile.

        3. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing set forth in Section 2, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit any of the following:

        (a) Seller’s ownership of a passive investment of no more than five percent (5%) in any publicly traded entity that engages in the Restricted Activity; provided, that Seller may own more than five percent (5%) of such company in the event it obtains such interest as a result of a Change of Control (as defined below) pursuant to an arm's length transaction negotiated in good faith not for the purpose of circumventing the intent of this Agreement as it applies to Seller.

2


        (b) Seller’s engagement in general employment solicitation activities to the public at large, including posting or advertising for positions and interviewing and hiring any employee of Buyer that apply for positions as a result of such general postings and advertising.

        (c) Seller hiring any employee of Buyer who (i) resigns voluntarily or (ii) is terminated by Buyer.

        (d) Seller selling its proprietary technology applications to one or more third parties and providing routine maintenance, upgrades, and/or enhancements to such technology applications (so long as such maintenance, upgrades, and/or enhancements are of general applicability, and do not specifically relate or apply to Electronic Prescribing Transactions only).

        4. Extension of Term. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Seller or any Seller Party has breached any covenant set forth in Section 2, as limited by Section 3, the term of the covenant set forth in Section 2 so breached will be extended as to Seller and each and every Seller Party by the period of the duration of such breach with respect to Seller and each Seller Party.

        5. Enforcement/Remedies. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the geographic area, time periods, subject matter, and all other aspects of the restrictions set forth in Sections 2 and 7 of this Agreement are reasonable and are appropriate for the protection of Buyer’s legitimate property and business interest. In the event that Seller or any Seller Party breaches any such restrictions, Buyer may suffer immediate and irreparable harm and injury for which there may not be an adequate remedy at law, and Buyer will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies or damages available them for such breach, to seek and obtain temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief, consisten t with, and enforcing the terms of, this Agreement, without posting any bond with respect thereto.

        6. Indemnification. In the event that Seller or any Seller Party breaches any provision of Section 2 or Section 7, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, and employees for, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Buyer or Buyer as a result of such breach.

        7. Confidentiality Agreement. During the Restricted Period, Seller and each Seller Party will treat and hold as confidential all of the Seller Confidential Information, and not use it for any purpose. In the event that during the Restricted Period Seller or any Seller Party is called upon to reveal Seller Confidential Information in order to comply with the requirements of law or the lawful orders or process of a court or governmental agency, it shall so notify Buyer in writing upon becoming aware of such request for compliance and, in any event, not less than five (5) days prior to the date for compliance and prior to disclosing of such information. In the event Buyer seeks relief, by way of a protective order or otherwise, Seller or the applicable Seller Party shall cooperate in good faith, but at the sole expense of Buyer, with respect to such effort to obtain relief. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller or the applicable Seller Party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Seller Confidential Information during the Restricted Period to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, Seller or the applicable Seller Party may disclose the Seller Confidential Information

3


to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request, and the sole expense, of Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Seller Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate. This Section shall not apply to any disclosure necessary in connection with a potential acquisition of any of the equity interests issued by or any substantial portion of the assets of a party (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange) hereto, provided, however, that the person receiving such information is bound by confidenti ality restrictions no less restrictive than those set forth herein.

        8. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is ruled to be wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable by a court or other government body of competent jurisdiction then: (a) the validity and enforceability of all provisions of this Agreement not ruled to be invalid or unenforceable shall be unaffected; (b) the effect of the ruling shall be limited to the jurisdiction of the court or other government body making the ruling; (c) the provision(s) held wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended, and the court or other < FONT face=serif>government body is authorized to amend and to reform the provision(s) to the minimum extent
necessary to render it valid and enforceable in conformity with the parties’ intent as manifested in this Agreement and a provision having a similar economic effect shall be substituted; and (d) if the ruling and/or the controlling principle of law or equity leading to the ruling is subsequently overruled, modified, or amended by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, then the provision(s) in question as originally set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the new controlling principle of law or equity.

        9. Waiver. Neither any course of dealing between or among the parties hereto nor any delay, failure, or omission by any party hereto to exercise any right under this Agreement shall operate or be deemed to operate as a waiver of any such right. No party shall be deemed to have waived any right hereunder unless such waiver is in writing duly executed by such party. Any waiver or consent given by a party hereunder on any one occasion or with respect to any particular circumstance shall be effective only with respect to such occasion or such circumstance and shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of such right on any other occasion or with respect to any other circumstance.

        10. Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against any party hereto merely by virtue of the fact that the Agreement may have been drafted or prepared by such party or its counsel, it being recognized that the parties hereto have contributed substantially and materially to its preparation and that this Agreement has been the subject of and is the product of negotiations between the parties.

        11. Headings. The headings, captions, and titles appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of the Agreement or any paragraph or provision therein.

        12. Cumulative Remedies. Any right, power, or remedy provided under this Agreement to a party hereto shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power, or remedy provided under this Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

4


        13. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective officers, employees and agents.

        14, Change of Control. A “Change of Control” is defined as any transaction whereby, any person or entity acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of either party (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange). If there is a Change of Control of Seller, pursuant to an arm’s length transaction negotiated in good faith not for the purpose of circumventing the intent of this Agreement as it applies to Seller, then Seller’s successor-in-interest shall not be subject to the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the confidentiality provisions of Section 6 and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement shall survive such Change of Control and shall be binding upon Seller’s successor-in-interest.

        15. Applicable Law. The construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement shall at all times and in all respects be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to Virginia’s choice of law or conflict of law provisions.

        16. Authority. The parties hereto respectively represent and warrant that the person signing this Agreement on their behalf has the requisite authority to do so and to make the promises and to undertake the obligations set forth herein on behalf of the persons and entities indicated and to legally bind those persons to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

        17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by each of the undersigned, and each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

        18. Assignment. If Buyer enters into a transaction constituting a Change of Control, then Buyer shall be entitled to assign its respective rights pursuant to this Agreement to its successor-in-interest.

        19. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any litigated dispute between the parties with respect to this Agreement, each party shall bear it’s own costs, attorney’s fees and expenses.

        20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no representations, promises, or agreement, oral or written, relating hereto not herein contained shall be of any force or effect. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless and until the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change or modification is sought.
