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. and subsidiaries (“ProxyMed” 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.

      On March 2, 2004, the Company acquired PlanVista Corporation (“PlanVista”), a publicly held company providing cost containment services to the healthcare industry for 3,600,000 shares of its common stock (see Note 2). In conjunction with that transaction the Company also sold 1,691,227 shares of its common stock in a private transaction to partially reduce PlanVista’s debt (see Note 6(a)) and to pay for certain expenses of the transaction. The results of PlanVista have been included in the consolidated financial statements since March 2, 2004 in the Company’s Transaction Services segment.

      The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004.

  (b)   Revenue Recognition — Transaction fee revenue is recorded in the period the service is rendered. Certain transaction fee revenue is subject to revenue sharing pursuant to agreements with resellers, vendors or gateway partners and are recorded as gross revenues. Revenues from cost containment services are recorded net of their estimated allowances. Revenue from sales of inventory and manufactured goods is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue from certain up front fees is amortized ratably over the expected life of the customer. Revenue from hardware leases, software rentals and maintenance fees is recognized ratably over the applicable period.

  (c)   Bad Debt Estimates – We rely on estimates to determine the bad debt expense and the adequacy of the reserve 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 cost containment business, we evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors.

      In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts 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, average percentage of receivables written off historically, 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.

  (d)   Net loss per share — Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock; however, the following shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because their effects would have been antidilutive: (i) stock options and warrants totaling 2,588,222 shares and 1,753,153 shares at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively; (ii) common shares issuable on conversion of Series C preferred stock (13,333 shares, if converted on both March 31, 2004 and 2003); and (iii) 239,028 shares issuable upon conversion of $4.4 million in convertible notes issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of MedUnite in December 2002.

  (e)   Stock Based Compensation — ProxyMed applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. The Company measures compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and stock-based awards to employees (including independent directors) in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25. In accordance with APB No. 25, compensation expense, if any, is generally based on the difference between the exercise price of an option, or the amount paid for an award, and the market price or fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of the award or at the measurement date for variable awards. Stock-based compensation arrangements involving non-employees are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”) as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”), under which such arrangements are accounted for based on the fair value of the option or award.

      Under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans would be determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 in accounting for its stock option plans, the Company’s consolidated net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:

  (f)   New Accounting Pronouncements — In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 149”). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain provisions that relate to SFAS No. 133 implementation issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Since currently the Company does not have derivative instruments, the Company does not believe that the implementation of SFAS No. 149 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS No 150”). SFAS No. 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 requires issuers to classify as liabilities the following three types of freestanding financial instruments: (1) mandatory redeemable financial instruments; (2) obligations to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares by transferring assets; and (3) certain obligations to issue a variable number of shares. SFAS No. 150 defines a freestanding financial instrument as a financial instrument that (1) is entered into separately and apart from any of the entity’s other financial instruments or equity transactions; or (2) is entered into in conjunction with some other transaction and can be legally detached and exercised on a separate basis. For all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, SFAS No. 150 is effective immediately. For all other instruments of public companies, SFAS No. 150 went into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For contracts that were created or modified before May 31, 2003 and still exist at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, entities should record the transition to SFAS No. 150 by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. SFAS No. 150 prohibits entities from restating financial statements for earlier years presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

  (g)   Reclassifications – Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications include the movement of direct labor and manufacturing overhead from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of tangible products sold in the Laboratory Communications Solutions segment to better reflect the production of tangible products in this segment.

(2) Acquisition of PlanVista

      On March 2, 2004, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of PlanVista Corporation, a publicly-held company located in Tampa, Florida and Middletown, New York that provides medical cost containment and business process outsourcing solutions, including claims repricing services, for the medical insurance and managed care industries, as well as services for healthcare providers, including individual providers, preferred provider organizations and other provider groups for 3,600,000             shares of ProxyMed common stock (valued at $68.4 million based on the closing price of ProxyMed’s common stock on March 2, 2004) issued to PlanVista’s shareholders, assumed debt and other liabilities of PlanVista, and incurred $1.3 million in acquisition related expenses. Additionally, ProxyMed raised $24.1 million in a private placement sale of its common stock to various entities affiliated with General Atlantic Partners and Commonwealth Associates to partially fund repayment of PlanVista’s debts and other obligations outstanding at the time of the acquisition (see Note 5). The acquisition enables the Company to enter into a new line of business, provide new end-to-end services, increase sales opportunities with payers, strengthen business ties with certain customers, expand technological capabilities, reduce operating costs and enhance its public profile. The Company had previously entered into a joint marketing agreement with PlanVista for the sale of PlanVista’s services in June 2003.

      Following consummation of the acquisition, PlanVista’s common stock was delisted from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, and each share of PlanVista’s outstanding common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.08271 of a share of the Company’s common stock and each holder of PlanVista series C preferred stock received 51.5292 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of PlanVista series C preferred stock, representing approximately 23% of the Company’s common stock on a fully converted basis, and the holders of the Company’s outstanding stock, options and warrants retained approximately 77% of the Company.

Goodwill
  $ 69,607  
 
   
 
 

      The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in the amount of $69.6 million was recorded as goodwill. The Company has not yet determined whether any or all of this goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The weighted average useful life of the customer relationships is approximately 12.0 years, the weighted average useful life of the provider network is 10.0 years, and the weighted average useful life of the technology platforms is 4.5 years. The valuation of PlanVista’s provider network and technology platforms were based on an independent third-party appraisal of the assets utilizing a replacement cost methodology while the value of the customer relationships was calculated on a discounted cash flow model.

      Additionally, the Company wrote-off against goodwill $0.6 million of unamortized liabilities related to the marketing agreement with PlanVista from June 2003. The results of PlanVista’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since March 2, 2004 in its Transaction Services segment.

      The issuance of the 3,600,000 shares of Company common stock to the PlanVista stockholders was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-111024) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC and declared effective on February 2, 2004.

      In connection with this transaction, on March 1, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved (1) an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 13,333,333? shares to 30,000,000 shares; (2) the issuance of 1,691,227 shares of the Company’s common stock at $14.25 per share in a private equity offering valued at $24.1 million (to retire debt of PlanVista and pay certain expenses associated with the merger); (3) the issuance of 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the PlanVista merger; and (4) an amendment to the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan to increase the total number of shares available for issuance from 600,000 to 1,350,000. Additionally, one director of PlanVista was appointed to the Company’s board of directors.

      All officers and employees of PlanVista, with the exception of PlanVista’s chief financial officer, continued employment with the Company.

      Additionally, certain officers, directors and employees of PlanVista were granted options to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of ProxyMed common stock at an exercise price of $17.74 per share. Of these options, 173,120 will vest two-thirds on the first anniversary date of the grant and one-third on the third anniversary date of the grant. Since the exercise price was less than the market price as of the date of issuance, the Company is recording periodic non-cash compensation charges over the vesting period of the options based on the intrinsic value method. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of $14,000 for these options. The balance of 26,880 options was granted to PlanVista’s former chief financial officer in connection with a consulting arrangement with him. Fifty percent of these options vested immediately upon the change of control and 25% will each vest after three and six months. The Company recorded a compensation charge of approximately $0.1 million in compensation expense associated with this grant in the three months ended March 31, 2004 utilizing a Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.2%, expected life of 9 months, expected volatility of 42% and no dividend yield.

(5) Debt Obligations

  (a)   Senior debt — As a result of the acquisition of PlanVista, the Company guaranteed a $20.4 million secured obligation to PVC Funding Partners, LLC (an investment company related to Commonwealth Associates, LP). This obligation is payable in monthly installments of $0.2 million and matures on May 1, 2005. It currently bears an interest rate of 6%, payable monthly in cash, which increases to 10% on December 1, 2004. Under the covenants of the senior debt obligation, PlanVista (as a wholly-owned subsidiary) is limited in its ability to upstream cash to ProxyMed (as the parent company). Additionally, the assets of PlanVista are not eligible collateral for the Company’s asset-based line of credit due to covenants of the senior debt.

  (b)   Notes payable — In February 2003, the Company financed $0.3 million for a certain liability insurance policy required for the MedUnite acquisition over 24 months at 5.25% to a third-party. At March 31, 2004, the note has an outstanding balance of $0.1 million and is collateralized by a letter of credit in the amount of $0.2 million (supported with restricted cash).

      In March 2003, the Company restructured $3.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses acquired from MedUnite and outstanding at December 31, 2002 to one vendor by paying $0.8 million in cash and financing the balance of $2.6 million with an unsecured note payable over 36 months at 8% commencing in March 2003. At March 31, 2004, the balance of this note payable is $1.8 million.

      In April 2003, the Company financed a net total of $2.0 million ($2.8 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by $0.8 million in accounts receivable) existing at December 31, 2002 from MedUnite to NDCHealth by issuing an unsecured note payable over 24 months at 6%. At March 31, 2004, the balance of this note payable is $1.3 million.

      In January 2004, the Company financed $0.3 million of liability insurance policy premium with an unsecured note, payable over 9 months at 4.86% to a third-party. At March 31, 2004, the balance of this note is $0.3 million.

      As a result of the acquisition of PlanVista, the Company also assumed notes payable to two former board members of PlanVista. The combined balance of these notes is $0.5 million at March 31, 2004. One of these board members has been appointed as director of ProxyMed as a result of the acquisition. These notes bear interest at prime plus 4% (which has been accrued through and totals $0.1 million at March 31, 2004). Both principal and interest are due on December 1, 2004.

PROXYMED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), Continued

      Additionally, the Company also assumed an unsecured note payable that financed a certain liability policy of PlanVista that was required as part of the acquisition. This note matures in November 2004 and bears interest at 8.5% payable to a third-party. At March 31, 2004, the balance of this note was $0.5 million.

  (c)   Revolving Credit Facility – In February 2004, the Company drew down $4.4 million on its revolving credit facility to provide bridge funding in its acquisition of PlanVista. This amount was repaid in March 2004. At March 31, 2004, there was $0.5 million drawn on this line of credit which was subsequently repaid in April 2004.

(6) Equity Transactions

  (a)   Sale of Common Stock – On March 2, 2004, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,691,227 shares of unregistered common stock at $14.25 per share in a private placement to General Atlantic Partners 77, L.P., GAP Coinvestments III, LLC, GAP Coinvestments IV, LLC, Gapstar, LLC, GAPCO GmbH & Co. KG., PVC Funding Partners, LLC, ComVest Venture Partners, L.P., Shea Ventures, LLC, and Robert Priddy (the “Purchasers”) resulting in net proceeds of $24.1 million. No placement agent was used in this transaction. The Company has agreed to grant the Purchasers certain demand and “piggy back” registration rights. The proceeds from this transaction were used with other available funds to retire certain debts of PlanVista and to fund certain costs associated with the Company’s acquisition of PlanVista.

  (b)   Stock Options – During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company granted 241,373 stock options at exercise prices between $17.74 and $19.25 per share to employees. Such options are for a ten-year term and vest equally over the three years following the date of the grant. However, of these options, 173,120 options granted to employees of PlanVista upon its acquisition by ProxyMed will vest two-thirds on the first anniversary date of the grant and one-third on the third anniversary date of the grant. As described in Note 2, since these options were granted at an exercise price of $17.74, which was below the $19.00 market price at the time of issuance, the Company will record periodic non-cash compensation charges over the vesting period of the options based on the intrinsic value method. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a charge of $14,000 for these options.

      In March 2004, 26,880 options at an exercise price of $17.74 per share were granted to PlanVista’s former chief financial officer in connection with a consulting arrangement with him. Fifty percent of these options vested immediately upon the change of control and 25% will each vest after three and six months. The Company recorded $0.1 million in compensation expense associated with this grant in the three months ended March 31, 2004 based on the Black-Scholes method of valuation.

      Additionally, in March 2004, 15,000 stock options at an exercise price of $17.50 per share were granted to a new director upon appointment to the Company’s board of directors as result of the acquisition of PlanVista. Such options are for a ten-year term and vest equally over the three years following the date of the grant.

  (c)   Exercise of Warrants – On March 25, 2004, General Atlantic Partners exercised 549,279 warrants it received in April 2002 with an exercise price of $15.93 for $8.75 million in cash.

(7) Segment Information

      ProxyMed operates in two reportable segments that are separately managed: Transaction Services (formerly known as Electronic healthcare transaction processing) and Laboratory Communication Solutions. Transaction Services includes transaction, cost containment and value-added services principally between physicians and insurance companies (Payer Services and Medical Cost Containment Services) and physicians and pharmacies (Prescription Services); and Laboratory Communication Solutions includes the sale, lease and service of communication devices principally to laboratories and the contract manufacturing of printed circuit boards (Laboratory Services). The results for the Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions segments do not include an allocation of Corporate overhead in assessing the operating performance of the respective segments. For financial reporting purposes, the assets of the Company’s Corporate segment have been combined with those of its Transaction Services Segment since they are intertwined with the operation of the other segment. Inter-segment sales are not material and there were no foreign sales for any periods presented.

(8) Income Taxes

      As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $67.4 million, which was fully offset by a valuation allowance. Realization of the net deferred tax asset is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the federal net operating loss carryforwards. The Company will adjust this valuation reserve if, during future periods, management believes the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax asset. The provision for income taxes reported in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 reflect approximately $50,000 primarily for state income taxes.

(9) Loss on Disposal of Assets

      As a result of the consolidation of the ProxyMed and MedUnite offices in Atlanta during the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded $0.1 million in losses primarily related to the disposition of certain assets owned and leased that were acquired in the acquisition of MDP Corporation in 2001.

Introduction

     We are the nation’s second largest provider-based electronic healthcare transaction services company. We provide connectivity services and related value-added products to physicians, payers, pharmacies, medical laboratories, and other healthcare providers and suppliers. Our services support a broad range of financial, clinical and administrative transactions, and are HIPAA-certified through Claredi, an independent certification and testing services company specializing in HIPAA compliance. To facilitate these services, we operate PhoenixTM, our secure national electronic information platform, which provides physicians and other healthcare providers with direct connectivity to one of the industry’s largest list of payers, the industry’s largest list of chain and independent pharmacies and the largest list of clinical laboratories. Our

18


Table of Contents

corporate headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and our products and services are provided from various operational facilities located throughout the United States. We also operate our clinical computer network and portions of our financial and real-time production computer networks from a secure, third-party co-location site also located in Atlanta, Georgia. All of our revenues are generated domestically.

     Our primary strategy is focused on leveraging our leading position as an independent back-end connectivity provider to small physician offices. Through strategic relationships and partnerships with front-end solution providers, our goal is to drive more healthcare transactions through PhoenixTM while remaining neutral in the battle for the physician’s desktop. Additionally, we expect that there will be opportunities to increase revenues by cross-selling our existing products and services to our current customer base of physicians and other healthcare providers, as well as revenue opportunities from the development of new services from our development efforts, including Internet-based transaction services. We remain committed to developing additional capabilities and value-added products and services, and to expanding our back-end connectivity network. In conjunction with this philosophy, we have recently introduced ProxyMed.net, our new web portal for providers, and “PhoenixTM”, our new transaction processing platform which has been HIPAA-certified through Claredi. We have also added new services offerings for our payer customers through our acquisition of PlanVista Corporation (“PlanVista”) on March 2, 2004 for claims re-pricing services and First Data Corporation for a jointly marketed suite of services being offered under the brand name “FirstProxy.”

Acquisitions

     On December 31, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of MedUnite, Inc. (“MedUnite”) for $10 million in cash and an aggregate of $13.4 million principal amount of 4% convertible promissory notes. In addition, we paid approximately $6.7 million in transaction and exit related costs (which were originally estimated at $8.3 million). Interest on the convertible notes is payable in cash on a quarterly basis. The convertible promissory notes (now currently payable at a maturity value of $13.1 million after a claim setoff against the escrow in December 2003) are payable in full on December 31, 2008, and are convertible into an aggregate of 716,968 shares (originally 731,322 shares before the claim setoff) of our common stock if the former shareholders of MedUnite achieve certain revenue-based triggers over the next three and one-half year period. The shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes will be registered by us promptly after a conversion trigger event is met. The first threshold trigger was reached during the fourth quarter of 2003 and the convertible notes were reduced to $13.1 million at December 31, 2003 as a result of a claim against the escrow. The operations of MedUnite are reflected with our operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. Additionally, we spent much of the 2003 year integrating the operations of MedUnite into our existing operations, and currently the organizations are run and managed as one operating unit. As a result, meaningful separate results and statistics for MedUnite are no longer available.

     On March 2, 2004, we acquired PlanVista (a company that provides medical cost containment and business process outsourcing solutions for the medical insurance and managed care industries, as well as services for health care providers, including individual

19


Table of Contents

providers, preferred provider organizations and other provider groups) for 3,600,000 shares of our common stock issued to PlanVista shareholders valued at $68.4 million (based on the closing price of our common stock on March 2, 2004). We also assumed debt and other liabilities of PlanVista, and paid approximately $1.3 million in acquisition-related costs. Additionally, we raised $24.1 million in a private placement sale of our common stock to General Atlantic Partners, Commonwealth Associates and other parties to partially fund repayment of certain of PlanVista’s debts and other obligations outstanding at the time of the acquisition. The merger enables us to enter into a new line of business, provide new end-to-end services, increase sales opportunities with payers, strengthen business ties with certain customers, expand technological capabilities, reduce operating costs and enhance our public profile.

     Upon completion of the acquisition, each share of PlanVista’s outstanding common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.08271 of a share of our common stock and each holder of PlanVista series C preferred stock received 51.5292 shares of our common stock in exchange for each share of PlanVista series C preferred stock, representing approximately 23% of our common stock on a fully converted basis, and the holders of our outstanding stock, options and warrants retained approximately 77% of ProxyMed. PlanVista’s operations are included in our Transaction Services segment commencing March 2004.

     In connection with this acquisition, our shareholders approved (1) an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 13,333,333 1/3 shares to 30,000,000 shares, (2) the issuance of 1,691,229 shares of our common stock at $14.25 per share in a private equity offering valued at $24.1 million (to retire a portion of debt of PlanVista and pay certain expenses associated with the merger), (3) the issuance of 3,600,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the merger, and (4) an amendment to our 2002 Stock Option Plan to increase the total number of shares available for issuance from 600,000 to 1,350,000.

Operating Segments

     We operate in two reportable segments that are separately managed: Transaction Services (formerly known as Electronic healthcare transaction processing) and Laboratory Communication Solutions. Transaction Services includes transaction and value-added services principally between physicians and insurance companies (Payer Services) and physicians and pharmacies (Prescription Services); and Laboratory Communication Solutions includes the sale, lease and service of communication devices principally to laboratories and the contract manufacturing of printed circuit boards (Laboratory Services). The results for the Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions segments do not include an allocation of Corporate overhead in assessing the operating performance of the respective segments. Commencing in March 2004, the operations of PlanVista are included in our Transaction Services segment (Medical Cost Containment Services).

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003.

     Net Revenues. Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased by $3.1 million or 17.6% to $20.5 million from consolidated net revenues of $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net revenues classified by our reportable segments are as follows:

     Net revenues in our Transaction Services segment increased by 29.3% over the 2003 period. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of PlanVista.

     For the 2004 period, approximately 71% of our revenues came from our Transaction Services segment compared to 65% from this segment for the 2003 period. For the remainder of 2004 and beyond, it is anticipated that our greatest growth will come from this segment.

     Laboratory Communication Solutions segment net revenues decreased by 3.7% from the 2003 period. While our revenues in this segment started the year slowly, most of our revenues in this segment comes from the sale of fixed assets to our lab and contract-manufacturing customers. We anticipate that a strengthening economy will help to improve revenue for our Laboratory Communications Solutions segment over the balance of the year.

     A summary of the number of transactions we processed for the periods presented is as follows:

(1)   Includes 375,000 cost containment transactions in the 2004 period from ProxyMed’s acquisition of PlanVista

     “Core” transactions represent all transactions except for encounters. “Encounters” are an administrative reporting transaction for payers but do not generate revenue for the provider who must submit them. Accordingly, rather than submitting on a routine basis, most providers choose to periodically “catch up” on their submissions, creating monthly and quarterly swings in both the number of encounters we process and what percentage of our

21


Table of Contents

transaction mix they represent. Since encounters are at a significantly lower price point than claims, these swings make it difficult to easily analyze our quarter-over-quarter growth in our core business. In addition, we do not expect our encounter volume to grow on an annual basis, as payers are not expanding the capitated service model that is the foundation of encounters. Therefore, we believe that breaking out encounters shows more clearly our growth in core transactions, which are the growth engine for our Transaction Services segment.

     Cost containment transactions represent the number of claims sent by our payer clients to be re-priced through our provider network.

     Cost of sales. Consolidated cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Cost of sales classified by our reportable segments is as follows:

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased to 29% in the 2004 period compared to 38% in the same period last year primarily due to a change in the mix of transaction types from higher cost patient statements to lower cost claim transactions, and the loss of business from a low margin gateway partner during the latter half of the 2003 year, offset by the addition of higher margin medical cost containment services from our acquisition of PlanVista.

     With the filing of our annual 2003 financial statements, we reclassified direct labor and manufacturing overhead from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of tangible products sold to better reflect the production of tangible products. All prior periods have a similar reclassification. As a result, cost of sales in the Laboratory Communication Solutions segment includes hardware, third party software, consumable materials, direct manufacturing labor and indirect manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in this segment increased to 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 64% for three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to a change in the mix from lower cost leases to higher cost contract manufacturing and laboratory communication devices.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Consolidated SG&A increased for the three months ended March 31, 2004 by $0.4 million, or 4%, from consolidated SG&A of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues decreased to 51% for the 2004 period compared to 58% in the same period last year. SG&A expenses classified by our reportable segments are as follows:

     Transaction Services segment SG&A expenses for the three months March 31, 2004 increased 2% over the same period last year primarily due to reductions in expenses from our MedUnite acquisition, offset by costs related to our HIPAA compliance efforts, implementation staffing and sales/marketing programs implemented since the first quarter of last year and the addition of SG&A expenses from PlanVista for one month in the 2004 period.

     Laboratory Communication Solutions segment SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 1% over the same period last year and segment SG&A expenses as a percentage of segment net revenues decreased to 23% for the 2004 period compared to 22% for the same period last year.

     Corporate SG&A expenses increased 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased professional fees and personnel costs, and the cost of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

     Depreciation and Amortization. Consolidated depreciation and amortization increased by $0.5 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $1.3 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to approximately $0.4 million for the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the PlanVista acquisition.

     Interest expense, net. Consolidated net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $0.3 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period last year. This increase in expense is primarily due to the assumption of debt in conjunction with the PlanVista acquisition. Interest expense for the 2004 year is expected to be at levels above those in the prior year due to the senior debt acquired from PlanVista.

     Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $0.4 million compared to net loss of $2.5 million for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     In the three months ended March 31, 2004, net cash used in operating activities totaled $3.2 million, and included $4.0 million to pay certain acquisition-related expenses of PlanVista outstanding as of the effective time of the acquisition. Cash used for investing activities totaled $1.0 million and consisted primarily of $0.8 million in net cash acquired from PlanVista offset by $0.8 million in costs related to the acquisitions of PlanVista and MedUnite and $1.1 million in capital expenditures and capitalized software. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $9.3 million and consisted of a private placement of our common stock, an exercise of warrants, a net draw on our asset-based line of credit, and repayments of notes payable, other long-term debt, and payments related to capital leases (including $23.4 million for the retirement of debts and other obligations and expenses).

     In the three months ended March 31, 2003, cash used by operating activities was $0.5 million. Cash used in investing activities was $5.2 million. During this period, we paid $3.9 million in costs related to our December 2002 acquisition of MedUnite, paid $1.2 million for fixed assets and capitalized software, and transferred $0.3 million to restricted cash as collateral for a note payable. Cash used in financing activities was $0.3 million for repayments of notes payable, other long-term debt, and payments related to capital leases. These activities were principally financed through available cash resources.

     We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $10.4 million as of March 31, 2004 compared to $10.3 million at March 31, 2003. These available funds will be used for operations, strategic acquisitions, the further development of our products and services, and other general corporate purposes. We continue to evaluate other acquisition opportunities and strategic alternatives that may add synergies to our product offerings and business strategy.

     On March 2, 2004, we acquired PlanVista through the issuance of 3,600,000 shares of our common stock (valued at $68.4 million). In addition, we raised an additional $24.1 million in a private placement sale of our common stock and drew down $4.4 million on our asset-based line of credit. These funds, along with available cash resources, were used to satisfy $27.4 million of PlanVista’s debt and other obligations outstanding as of the effective time of the acquisition.

     At the current time, we do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

24


Table of Contents

     We anticipate spending approximately $1.0 million for various development projects scheduled to be undertaken by us in 2004 (including $0.3 million related to projects at PlanVista). Additionally, we anticipate spending approximately $5.8 million (including $1.1 million at PlanVista) primarily for hardware and software costs related to enhancements to our technical infrastructure and administrative systems. Through March 31, 2004, we spent $1.1 million towards these projects. Furthermore, we expect to incur costs of approximately $1.5 million in 2004 in connection with the implementation of our internal control procedures mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and with our financial system consolidation efforts.

     At the time we acquired MedUnite at the end of 2002, MedUnite had incurred significant losses since its inception and was utilizing cash significantly in excess of amounts it was generating primarily due to technical and research and development activities related to its various processing platforms. As a result, there were substantial liabilities and obligations as well as future commitments (both known and unknown at December 31, 2002) associated with the business in addition to the transaction and exit costs associated with the acquisition. In an effort to immediately curtail and reduce the expenditure levels, MedUnite’s senior management team was terminated along with approximately 20% of the general workforce, and in February 2003, we moved our Atlanta facility into MedUnite’s Norcross facility. While we did not achieve the expected reductions in MedUnite’s cost early in the first quarter of 2003, we did exit that quarter on an expense run rate in line with our expectations. Furthermore, during the second and third quarters of 2003, we continued expense reductions by successfully eliminating or renegotiating substantial telecommunication expenses and eliminating duplicative contact management, human resources and customer relationship management systems. Additionally, in April 2003, we terminated the San Diego facility lease effective July 1, 2003 in return for a $0.8 million letter of credit held by the current landlord and furniture at the facility.

     By December 31, 2003, we had paid all but $0.2 million of the transaction and exit costs associated with the MedUnite acquisition. As a result of our negotiations, the original $8.3 million in transaction and exit costs were ultimately settled for approximately $6.7 million, representing a savings of $1.6 million.

     Additionally, other MedUnite contractual obligations have been canceled or renegotiated with the respective vendors. We have entered into financing agreements with certain major vendors as a means of settling liabilities that existed at December 31, 2002, and have financed $3.4 million of liabilities to one vendor, $2.0 million in net liabilities to a former owner of MedUnite, and $0.4 million for a required insurance policy as part of the acquisition. Between these financing agreements, existing capital leases, and the convertible notes issued in the acquisition, we incurred significant interest expense charges in 2003.

     In December 2003, we closed on a $12.5 million asset-based line of credit with our commercial bank. Borrowing under such facility is subject to eligible cash, accounts receivable, and inventory and other conditions. Borrowings bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.5% or at LIBOR plus 2.25% (or LIBOR plus 0.75% in the case of borrowings against eligible cash only). As a result of our acquisition of PlanVista, we drew down $4.4 million against this line at the end of February 2004 (which was repaid in early March 2004) and had a $0.5 million draw outstanding as of March 31, 2004 that we repaid in April 2004. At this time, the assets of PlanVista are not eligible collateral for this line of credit due to covenants of the senior debt in place at PlanVista. Additionally, PlanVista (as a wholly-owned subsidiary) is limited in its ability to upstream cash to ProxyMed (as the parent company) due to additional covenants under this instrument.

Table of Contents

     As noted above, with our acquisition of PlanVista on March 2, 2004, we utilized the $24.1 million in proceeds raised from our private placement, drew $4.4 million on our line of credit and used available cash to satisfy $27.4 million of PlanVista’s debt and other obligations outstanding as of the effective time of the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we acquired a cash flow positive company with $20.4 million in senior debt due in May 2005 (at an interest rate of 6% until December 2004 when the interest rate increases to 10%). While it is our intent to satisfy this debt either through refinancing, obtaining a senior line of credit, or by raising equity capital, we will incur substantial additional cash interest charges until we do so. We may be unable to raise additional funds.

     The following table represents our contractual cash obligations due over the next several years (including obligations of PlanVista). Operating leases are shown net of any sublease agreements.

     We believe that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to fund our future operational capital requirements and expenditures, and a sufficient level of capital in order to fund specific research and development projects or to pursue smaller additional strategic acquisitions. Even with the positive cash flow expected to be generated from our operations, we anticipate that we will need to refinance the PlanVista debt, by either obtaining a new senior line of credit or raising capital in order to satisfy this debt on or before maturity. However, if we require additional funding in the future to satisfy any of our outstanding future obligations, or 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 available 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 competitive disadvantage.

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. The preparation of our 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 readily 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 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 beginning on Page F-7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

     Revenue Recognition – Transaction Services fee revenue is recorded in the period the service is rendered. Certain transaction fee revenue may be subject to revenue sharing per agreements with resellers, vendors or gateway partners and are recorded as gross revenues. Revenues on cost containment services are recorded net of their estimated allowances. Revenue from sales of inventory and manufactured goods is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue from certain up-front fees is amortized ratably over the expected life of the customer or contract. Revenue from hardware leases, network access and maintenance fees is recognized ratably over the applicable period.

     Goodwill – We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at adoption and at least annually thereafter, utilizing a “fair value” methodology versus an undiscounted cash flow method required under previous accounting rules. In accordance with our adoption of SFAS No. 142, we completed our most recent annual test at December 31, 2003 and 2002 utilizing various valuation techniques including a market value analysis. No impairment charges were recorded as a result of these tests.

     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 (which are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”). Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. Once the project is

27


Table of Contents

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.

     Bad Debt Estimates – We rely on estimates to determine the bad debt expense and the adequacy of the reserve 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 were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Additionally, in our cost containment business, we evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts 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, average percentage of receivables written off historically, 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain provision that relate to SFAS No. 133 implementation issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. We do not believe that the implementation SFAS No. 149 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

     In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 requires issuers to classify as liabilities the following three types of freestanding financial instruments: (1) mandatory redeemable financial instruments; (2) obligations to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares by transferring assets; and (3) certain obligations to issue a variable number of shares. SFAS No. 150 defines a freestanding financial instrument as a financial instrument that (1) is entered into separately and apart from any of the entity’s other financial instruments or equity transactions; or (2) is entered into in conjunction with some other transaction and can be legally detached and exercised on a separate basis. For all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, SFAS No. 150 is effective immediately. For all other instruments of public companies, SFAS No. 150 goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning

28


Table of Contents

after June 15, 2003. For contracts that were created or modified before May 31, 2003 and still exist at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, entities should record the transition to SFAS No. 150 by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. SFAS No. 150 prohibits entities from restating financial statements for earlier years presented. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

     On March 2, 2004, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,691,227 shares of unregistered common stock at $14.25 per share in a private placement to General Atlantic Partners 77, L.P., GAP Coinvestment III, LLC, GAP Coinvestments IV, LLC, Gapstar, LLC, GAPCO GmbH & Co.

Associate shall also be entitled to receive Without Cause Separation Pay if the Company terminates Associate's employment for taking action deemed reasonably necessary by Associate under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the False Claims Act, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and any other law applicable to the conduct of Company's business. d) TERMINATION BY ASSOCIATE FOR GOOD REASON. Associate 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 Associate'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 4 defined as a "Good Reason" herein. As used in this Agreement, a "Good Reason" means termination by Associate only for any one or more of the following reasons: (i) Any reduction of Associate's then-current Base Salary without Associate'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 Associate. An Associate'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 Associate to the Without Cause Separation Pay set forth in Section 5(c). e) TERMINATION BY ASSOCIATE FOR NO GOOD REASON. Associate 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 Associate 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. Associate'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 Associate to the For Cause Separation Pay set forth in Section 5(b). For avoidance of doubt, a termination by Associate for any reason that is also a Good Reason shall be treated as a termination by Associate for Good Reason as set forth in Section 5(d). f) RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Associate shall immediately return to the Company all property of the Company in Associate's possession, including Confidential Information (as defined below). Associate acknowledges that the Company may withhold any compensation and benefits owed to Associate hereunder until all such property is returned in good condition, normal wear and tear excepted. g) CHANGE IN CONTROL. If, within ninety (90) days prior to a Change of Control, as defined in Associate's Stock Option Agreement, the Agreement terminates for any reason (other than pursuant to Section 5(b) or (e) above), then, (i) any unvested options shall vest as of the date of the Change of Control and shall remain vested and exercisable as specified in Associate's Stock Option Agreement, and (ii) Associate shall receive, and the Company shall pay the Associate, the "Without Cause Separation Pay" set forth in Section 5(c) above. 6. COVENANTS OF ASSOCIATE. a) Associate agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year following its expiration or termination for any or no reason, including without limitation, "For Cause", "Without Cause", "For Good Reason", or "No Good Reason", Associate will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, induce or solicit any person employed or hereafter employed by the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or solicit, recruit, hire or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire any person employed by the Company. b) Associate agrees that for a period of three (3) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any or no reason, including without limitation, "For Cause", "Without Cause", "For 5 Good Reason", or "No Good Reason", Associate will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away, Customers or their laboratory business from the Company and/or the Company's then-current Affiliates.

Associate grants and agrees to convey to Company or its nominee the entire right, title and interest, domestic and foreign, which Associate may have in such discoveries, improvements or inventions, or a lesser interest therein, at the option of Company. Associate further agrees to promptly, upon request, sign all applications for patents, copyrights, assignments and other appropriate documents, and to perform all acts and to do all things necessary and appropriate to carry out the intent of this section, whether or not Associate is still an employee of the Company at the time of such requests. d) Associate agrees and acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the Company is valuable, special and unique to its business, that such business depends on such Confidential Information, and that the Company wishes to protect such Confidential Information by keeping it confidential for the exclusive use and benefit of the Company. Based on the foregoing, Associate agrees to undertake the following obligations with respect to such Confidential Information: (i) Associate agrees to keep any and all Confidential Information in trust for the use and benefit of the Company; (ii) Associate agrees that, except as required by Associate's duties or authorized in writing by the Company, Associate will not at any time during and for a period of three (3) years after the termination of Associate's employment with the Company, disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information of the Company to any third party; except as may be required by applicable law or court order, in which case Associate shall promptly notify Company so as to allow it to seek a protective order if it so elects; (iii) Associate agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary, or reasonably requested by the Company, to ensure that all Confidential Information of the Company is kept confidential for the use and benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries; and (iv) Associate agrees that, upon termination of Associate's employment by the Company or at any other time the Company may in writing so request, Associate will promptly deliver to the Company all materials constituting Confidential Information (including all copies and derivatives thereof) that are in the possession of or under the control of Associate. Associate further agrees that, if requested by the Company to return any Confidential Information pursuant to this Subsection (iv), Associate will not make or retain any copy or extract from such materials. 6 For the purposes of this Section 6(d), "Confidential Information" means any and all information, including derivative works, developed by or for the Company or entrusted to the Company in confidence by its customers, of which Associate gained knowledge by reason of Associate's employment by the Company, which is not generally known in any industry in which the Company is or may become engaged, but does not apply to information which is generally known to the public or the trade, unless such knowledge results from an unauthorized disclosure by Associate. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, any and all information developed by or for the Company concerning plans, marketing and sales methods, materials, processes, business forms, procedures, devices used by the Company, its suppliers and customers with which the Company had dealt with prior to Associate's termination of employment with the Company, plans for development of new products, services and expansion into new areas or markets, internal operations, and any trade secrets, proprietary information of any type owned by the Company, together with all written, graphic and other materials relating to all or any part of the same. The Company will receive all materials, including, software programs, source code, object code, specifications, documents, abstracts and summaries developed in connection with Associate's employment. Associate acknowledges that the programs and documentation developed in connection with Associate's employment with the Company shall be the exclusive property of the Company, and that the Company shall retain all right, title and interest in such materials, including without limitation patent and copyright interests.

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) Associate confirms that Associate is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous Company or other party which restricts in any way Associate's use or disclosure of information or Associate's engagement in any business, except as Associate may disclose in a separate schedule attached to this Agreement prior to Company's and Associate's execution of this Agreement. Further, Associate represents that Associate has delivered to the Company prior to executing this Agreement true and complete copies of any agreements disclosed on such attached schedule.

Associate 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 Associate's employment with the Company. h) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. i) Associate 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, Associate 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 Associate 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. 7.

The parties hereby acknowledge that the Federal Arbitration Act takes precedence over any state arbitration statutes, rules and regulations.
