LANDACORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

     Landacorp, Inc. was established in 1982 and, along with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), provides population health management solutions to healthcare payer and delivery organizations that include predictive modeling and chronic condition management programs, and Internet-and Windows®-based medical management software. These solutions are designed to help our customers control and avoid cost, while improving outcomes across the continuum of care. The Company maintains offices in Atlanta, Georgia, Chico, California, and Raleigh, North Carolina and derives substantially all of its revenues from customers in the United States.

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. However, this Form 10-Q does not include all Form 10-K and other disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for the balance sheet as presented herein. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

     The consolidated results of operations presented for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or any future year. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform with current period presentation.

2. Revenues

     Program revenues and maintenance fees represent repeat and recurring revenue streams, such as per member per month licensing and servicing revenues, per participant per year fees and support charges for maintaining software. System sales and consulting fees represent one-off or non-recurring and non-repeat revenue, such as sales of perpetual licenses, implementation and ad-hoc consulting or training services.

Revenue Recognition

     The Company derives revenue primarily from (i) the licensing and implementation of medical management software systems, (ii) the delivery of post-contract customer support, training and consulting services, and (iii) the delivery of care analytics solutions and care management services. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or the services are rendered, (3) the price is fixed and determinable and, (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

     The Company accounts for their multiple element software systems contracts in accordance with the provision of Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4, Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SOP 97-2. As the Company provides significant production, modification and/or customization of the software installed, system sales revenues, including training and consulting services essential to the software system, and the associated costs are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, using labor hours incurred relative to total estimated contract hours as the measure of progress towards completion. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent revenues that the Company has earned in accordance with its accounting policies but that are not yet billable under the terms of the contracts as of the date of the balance

sheet. These balances are generally billable within twelve months. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, the Company records a provision for the estimated loss on the contract. Sales of software products of other vendors are recognized upon installation.

     Support services included in the initial licensing agreement and annual support service renewal contracts are deferred and are recognized ratably over the support period. Revenues from training and consulting not considered essential to the functionality of the software system are recognized when the Company has delivered the services in accordance with the terms of the service agreements or have no future performance obligations. Amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue.

     The Company delivers care management program services through a per participant annual enrollment fee and through a subscription-based fee structure that provides for implementation services at a fixed hourly rate and a subsequent monthly subscription fee based upon the number of members maintained by the payer organization. Payments for participants’ annual enrollment fees are generally received at the beginning of the enrollment period. Revenue is recognized on an effort-based measure over the enrollment period as the services are provided and the obligations to the participants are fulfilled. Such obligations include the delivery of health risk assessment surveys, tailored health guides and certain lab test kits.

     Other miscellaneous revenue is recognized as services are provided and obligations to the customer are fulfilled.

     From time to time, the Company may enter into care management contracts that guarantee certain cost savings or other performance measures to the customer. Certain amounts are refundable to the customer if such savings or performance criteria are not achieved. Under such contracts, the Company defers revenue equal to either the maximum potential amount of fees that are refundable, or such amount that is determined by management to be reasonable based on historical performance under the contract. Such revenue will not be recognized until the performance criteria have been met. As of March 31, 2003 the Company had outstanding guarantees on three contracts, for a total of approximately $938,000, which is included in deferred revenue.

3. Net income (loss) per share

     Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of outstanding common shares subject to repurchase by the Company, and common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The approximate potential common shares, which are excluded from the determination of basic and diluted net income per share as the effect of such shares is anti-dilutive were 3,477,000 and 2,205,000 at March 31, 2003. The approximate potential common shares, which are excluded from the determination of basic and diluted net loss per share as the effect of such shares is anti-dilutive were 3,722,000 at March 31, 2002.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period while the cost is depreciated over its useful life. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2003 and it did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

LANDACORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

     In June of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. It nullifies the guidance of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) in EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, an entity recognized a liability for an exit cost on the date that the entity committed itself to an exit plan. In FAS 146, the Board acknowledges that an entity’s commitment to a plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties that meets the definition of a liability. The Company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2003 and did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In November 2002, the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“the Issue”). The guidance in this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2003. The Issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the Issue addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one earnings process and, if it does, how to divide the arrangement into separate units of accounting consistent with the identified earnings processes for revenue recognition purposes. The Issue also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. The Company currently follows the appropriate pronouncement as discussed in “Revenue Recognition” and anticipates the Issue will not have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation clarifies the requirements of SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” relating to guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. This interpretation is intended to improve the comparability of financial reporting by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with a separately identified premium and guarantees issued without a separately identified premium. The interpretation’s provisions for initial recognition and measurement are required on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of this interpretation and it did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, the Company indemnifies certain customers from any claims arising from patent or copyright infringements related to the implementation of its Medical Management software. To date, there have been no such infringements or claims thereof. The Company is also a party to employment agreements with certain executive officers that contain change of control provisions. These agreements are disclosed in our definitive proxy statement for our 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     We adopted SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002. Accordingly, we reclassified $462,000 of intangible assets to goodwill and discontinued periodic amortization of goodwill. Goodwill will be assessed annually on January 1 for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. Additionally, the standard requires a transitional impairment test during the period of adoption. We have performed the transitional impairment test, which indicated that there is no impairment to goodwill as of January 1, 2002. We have completed the test as of January 1, 2003, which also indicated no impairment.

     Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Our intangible assets consist principally of existing technology and customer base, and all are considered to have finite lives. Our acquired workforce intangible asset was reclassified to goodwill upon the adoption of FAS 142 on January 1, 2002.

6. Restructuring and Acquisition Related Costs

     In May 2001, the Company announced a reduction in work force representing approximately 16% of the Company’s total work force which consisted of 40 employees from various areas of the Company. Also in May 2001, the Company announced its plan to cease operations of its Portland, Oregon-based Interactive Media Group (IMG). On August 8, 2001, the Company announced an additional reduction in work force of approximately 18%, or 36 employees. For the year ended December 31, 2001, restructuring and acquisition related charges consisted of $1,301,000 relating to severance costs, the closing of the IMG operations and additional lease obligations related to unoccupied office space that the Company had committed to, as well as a charge of $268,000 related to re-pricing of stock options granted in connection with the acquisition of PatientCentrix. In December 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $106,000 related to additional estimated real estate lease obligations on office space that was vacated as a result of the reductions in force announced by the Company in May 2001.

     The following is a rollforward of the restructuring accrual:

7. Asset Impairment Charge

     During the second quarter of 2002, the Company experienced a decline in demand for services in its Care Management reporting unit, previously referred to as Care Analytics/Care Management. Management determined this to be a triggering event pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”. Consequently, management evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets in relation to the Care Management reporting unit. The analysis was first performed on an undiscounted cash flow basis, which indicated an impairment in its Care Management reporting unit. The impairment was then calculated using projections of discounted cash flows over ten years utilizing a

discount rate and terminal value commensurate with other Disease Management companies, and companies of similar size to Landacorp. The assumptions used in this analysis represent management’s estimate of future results.

     The analysis resulted in an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2002 of $3,300,000, which consisted of a write-down of $850,000 and $2,450,000 to property, plant & equipment and its definite-lived intangible assets, respectively. The Company will continue to monitor its performance against the projections used in this analysis, which could result in future impairments.

8. Agreement with Certain Shareholders and Option Holders

     On March 13, 2002, the Company settled a disagreement with former shareholders and option holders of PatientCentrix regarding the amount of the Earn Out payment due under the PatientCentrix merger agreement. We agreed to pay the former shareholders and option holders of PatientCentrix an aggregate $400,000 in respect of the Earn Out payment. This amount has been recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. As further consideration for the release of all disagreements related to the merger and Merger Agreement, we agreed to reduce to $0.39 per share, the exercise price of stock options held by Michael Miele, the major shareholder of PatientCentrix. This amount has been recorded as an acquisition related charge in the amount of $268,000. We also agreed to appoint Mr. Miele to our board of directors until March 2003. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Miele should remain on our board of directors and stand for re-election at our 2003 annual meeting of stockholders.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), which states that no compensation expense is recorded for stock options or other stock-based awards to employees that are granted with an exercise price equal to or above the estimated fair value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. In the event that stock options are granted at a price lower than the fair market value at that date, the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option is recorded as unearned compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the stock option. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as it relates to stock options granted to employees, which requires pro forma net losses be disclosed based on the fair value of the options granted at the date of the grant. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”

     Fair Value Disclosures

     The Company calculated the fair value of each option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 using the following weighted average assumptions:
