      Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be different from any future results, performance and achievements expressed or implied by these statements. The following important risks and uncertainties could affect future results, causing those results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements:

WEBMD CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data, unaudited)
1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
      The unaudited consolidated financial statements of WebMD Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared by management and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2005. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations.
      The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2004, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accounting Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect: the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of inventory, the carrying value of prepaid content and distribution services, the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the amortization period of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill), the carrying value, capitalization and amortization of software development costs, the carrying value of short-term and long-term investments, the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued expenses, revenue recognition, contingencies, litigation and the value attributed to warrants issued for services.
Inventory
      Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out basis. Cost includes raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Market value is based on current replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and on net realizable value for work-in-process and finished goods. Inventory consisted of the following:
                 
    March 31,   December 31,
    2005   2004
         
Raw materials and supplies
  $ 3,898     $ 3,925  
Work-in-process
    1,436       1,335  
Finished goods and other
    8,510       8,718  
             
    $ 13,844     $ 13,978

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
      The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income with respect to options granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for based on provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), and EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

Basic and diluted — pro forma
  $ 0.00     $ (0.03 )
             
      The pro forma results above are not intended to be indicative of or a projection of future results. Pro forma information regarding net income has been determined as if employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 were accounted for under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value for 2005 options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model employing weighted average assumptions that were substantially consistent with the 2004 assumptions except with respect to the volatility assumption which was 0.5 for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The 2004 assumptions were included in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Net Income Per Common Share
      Basic income per common share and diluted income per common share are presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to give effect to the assumed conversion of the Convertible Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Diluted income per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to give

The following table presents the total number of shares that could potentially dilute basic income per common share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted income per common share during the periods presented (shares in thousands):

Reclassifications
      Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation, including the classification of auction rate securities as available-for-sale securities, which are reported as short-term investments, instead of cash and cash equivalents. The Company reclassified $96,600 of investments in auction rate securities that were previously included in cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments as of March 31, 2004. The Company has included purchases and sales of auction rate securities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as a component of its investing activities. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow from operating activities.
2.  Business Combinations

(“HealthShare”), a privately held company that provides health plans and employers, and their members and employees, with online decision-support tools that evaluate both the cost and quality of hospital care.
