CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
of the statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including in the
Business description, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results” and elsewhere in this report are “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject
to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may vary materially
from the expectations contained in the forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements herein include, among others, statements addressing
management’s views with respect to future financial and operating results and
costs associated with the Company’s operations and other similar statements.
Various factors, including competitive pressures, market interest rates, changes
in insurance carrier mix, regulatory changes, customer and insurance carrier
defaults or insolvencies, litigation, acquisition of businesses that do not
perform as we expect or that are difficult for us to integrate or control,
adverse resolution of any contract or other disputes with customers and
insurance carriers, or the loss of one or more key insurance carrier
relationships, could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from
those described in forward-looking statements.
The words
“may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,”
“continue” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but
the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each
forward-looking statement contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we
caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and
factors currently known by us and projections of the future about which we
cannot be certain. Many factors, including general business and economic
conditions, affect our ability to achieve our objectives. As a result of these
factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K will prove to be accurate. In addition, if our
forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be
material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking
statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or
warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans
in any specified time frame, if at all. We may not update these forward-looking
statements, even though our situation may change in the future.

BUSINESS.
|
Overview
We were originally incorporated under
the laws of the state of Nevada on October 21, 2004 as Darwin Resources Corp.,
an exploration stage company engaged in mineral exploration. On November 22,
2005, Darwin Resources Corp. merged with and into its newly-formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, Darwin Resources Corp., a Delaware corporation, solely for the
purpose of changing its state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware. On
November 23, 2005, HBDC II, Inc., a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of
Darwin Resources Corp., was merged with and into Health Benefits Direct
Corporation, a privately-held Delaware corporation, and the name of the
resulting entity was changed from Health Benefits Direct Corporation to HBDC II,
Inc. Following the merger, Darwin Resources Corp. changed its name to Health
Benefits Direct Corporation and we began operations in our current
form.
We are a technology company that
provides software applications for use by insurance administrators in the
insurance industry and insurance agents in the health insurance
industry. Our business focuses primarily on two primary software
products: our InsPro software application and our Insurint™
product.
InsPro is a comprehensive, web-based
insurance administration software application. InsPro was introduced
by Atiam Technologies, L.P. (now our InsPro Technologies, LLC subsidiary) in
2004. InsPro clients include health insurance carriers and third
party administrators. Unlike our Insurint platform, we market InsPro
as a licensed software application, and we realize revenue from the sale of the
software licenses, application service provider fees, software maintenance fees
and consulting and implementation services.
Insurint™
is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates
real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated
carriers of health and life insurance and related products. We market Insurint
using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model instead of software licensing model,
which offers easy web-based distribution and pay-as-you-go pricing. We market
Insurint primarily to insurance agents, agencies, and other organizations
selling health insurance products to families and individuals. Unlike existing
health insurance quote engines, Insurint also enables an agent to input
responses to a set of questions about the health of proposed insureds, which
enables the agent to place an insurance policy faster and more accurately. In
addition, Insurint offers a suite of sales tools that agents can use to increase
their overall sales production.
InsPro
We acquired Atiam Technologies, L.P. on
October 1, 2007. This entity, which changed its name to InsPro
Technologies, LLC on May 14, 2009, sells and markets our InsPro software
application. InsPro Technologies and its predecessor, Systems
Consulting Associates, Inc., or SCA, was founded in 1986 by Robert J. Oakes as a
programming and consulting services company. In 1988, SCA entered
into a long-term contract with Provident Mutual Insurance Company to develop,
maintain, install, support, and enhance IMACS, which was an insurance direct
marketing and administration software system. IMACS was the precursor
of InsPro. InsPro Technologies dedicated four years, from 2001 to
2005, to developing its principal product, InsPro, which is a comprehensive,
scalable, and modular web-based insurance marketing, claims administration, and
policy servicing platform.
Product and
Services
We offer InsPro on a licensed and an
ASP (Application Service Provider) basis. InsPro is an insurance administration
and marketing system that supports group and individual business lines, and
efficiently processes agent, direct market, worksite and web site generated
business.
4
During 2009, we earned $6,817,715 in
revenue from InsPro. We earned 37% and 28% of the Company’s revenue
from InsPro Technologies’ two largest InsPro clients.
InsPro incorporates a modular design,
which enables the customer to purchase only the functionality needed, thus
minimizing the customer’s implementation cost and time necessary to implement
InsPro. InsPro can be rapidly tailored to the requirements of a wide range of
customers from the largest insurance companies and marketing organizations to
the smallest third party administrators, operating in environments ranging from
a single server environment to the mainframe installations. InsPro currently
supports a wide range of distribution channels, including the Internet,
traditional direct marketing, agent-booked, individual and group plans,
worksite, and association-booked business, and supports underwritten as well as
guaranteed products including long term care, Medicare supplement, critical
illness, long and short term disability, whole and term life, comprehensive
major, hospital indemnity and accidental death and dismemberment.
An InsPro software license entitles the
purchaser to a perpetual license to a copy of the InsPro software installed at a
single client location, which may be used to drive a production and model office
instance of the application. The ASP Hosting Service enables a client to lease
the InsPro software, paying only for that capacity required to support their
business. ASP clients access an instance of InsPro installed on our servers
located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a third party’s site.
Software maintenance fees apply to both
licensed and ASP clients. Maintenance fees cover periodic updates to the
application and the InsPro Help Desk.
Consulting and implementation services
are generally associated with the implementation of an InsPro instance for
either an ASP or licensed client, and cover such activity as InsPro
installation, configuration, modification of InsPro functionality, client
insurance plan set-up, client insurance document design and system
documentation.
InsPro
Technologies software arrangements often involve multiple elements. We allocate
revenue to each element based on the relative fair value or the residual method,
as applicable using vendor specific objective evidence to determine fair value,
which is based on prices charged when the element is sold separately. Software
revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the
software is delivered in accordance with all terms and conditions of the
customer contracts, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is
probable. Revenue related to post-contract customer support (“PCS”),
including technical support and unspecified when-and-if available software
upgrades, is recognized ratably over the PCS term. If fair
value does not exist for any undelivered element, revenue is not recognized
until the earlier of (i) delivery of such element or (ii) when fair
value of the undelivered element is established, unless the undelivered element
is a service, in which case revenue is recognized as the service is performed
once the service is the only undelivered element.
Sales, Marketing and
Operations
InsPro Technologies markets its
products and services directly to prospective insurance carriers and third party
administrators via trade shows, advertising in industry publications and direct
mail.
InsPro Technologies delivers services
to its clients, which include InsPro system implementation, legacy system
migration to InsPro, InsPro application management, web development, InsPro help
desk and 24x7 hosting service support.

Insurint
Product and
Services
Insurint™ is a web based tool that
provides insurance agents and brokers with an all-in-one, real time quoting
engine and on-demand customer relationship management, or CRM, platform. It
helps insurance agents and brokers streamline their sales and marketing
activities and increases agent productivity, which ultimately strengthens the
customer relationship. Insurint utilizes a Software as a Service (SaaS) model
instead of software licensing model, which offers easy web-based access and
pay-as-you-go pricing. Currently, we recognize revenue based on both one time
setup and recurring monthly access fees.
During 2009 we earned $163,947 in
revenue from Insurint™.
There are more than one million
independent insurance agents licensed to sell health and life insurance to
individuals and groups in the United States. The vast majority of these agents
use a combination of manual quoting methods (such as rating tables from
different carriers), legacy software tools (such as stand-alone CRM software)
and hard copies of underwriting guides to address their customers’ needs and
manage their business. While Insurint™ is designed for the use of independent
insurance agents, it may also be used by insurance companies’ direct sales
departments, or captive agents. We believe there is a significant opportunity
for Insurint™, based on this tool’s unique strengths as described below, to
provide a large number of these agents with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution
that meets all of their quoting, underwriting, CRM and marketing needs, allowing
them to improve their efficiency and maximize their productivity:
|
·
|
Insurint™
is a one-stop platform from which an agent may choose from a variety of
health and life insurance products and carriers. Insurint™ allows the
insurance sales agent to cross sell products or bundle quotes across
different product lines.
|
|
·
|
Insurint™
provides real-time information and underwriting intelligence to help
agents build their business, while saving time and taking the hassle out
of quoting and comparing individual
plans.
|
|
·
|
Insurint™
provides seamless integration of the quoting engine with CRM features,
which helps an agent to be more efficient with his or her sales, marketing
and customer management activities. Insurint™ can also enable an agent to
make service calls to his or her customers, thus improving customer
service and providing another selling opportunity for the
agent.
|
|
·
|
Insurint™
provides an integrated web sharing tool, InsurintConnect, which allows the
agent to share the sales process and presentation with the client, thereby
involving the client in the sale, and helping them move from multiple plan
choices to a logical conclusion to meet their coverage
needs.
|
|
·
|
Insurint™
provides a brandable, flexible technology framework, which can be
customized to the needs of agencies of all sizes, and may integrate with
any existing telephony and/or CRM solution they may already
employ.
|
Marketing, Sales and
Operations
Insurint’s marketing utilizes
aggregator and affinity relationships, which seeks co-marketing opportunities
that create synergies between products and organizations, email promotions and
presentations at important industry events. Insurint’s marketing message and
graphical treatment is centered on an evolutionary concept, and is positioning
itself as the “Next Stage in the Evolution of Insurance Technology.” Insurint’s
sales team provides both personalized and group demonstrations to agents,
agencies and carriers looking to learn more about Insurint™.
Insurint currently has several key
vendor agreements and relationships, which provide functionality for portions of
Insurint™’s quoting engine. The unanticipated loss of the functionality of
portions of Insurint’s quoting engine, which are provided by key vendors, would
result in an interruption of Insurint™’s product delivery to its customers until
such time that Insurint integrated replacement functionality from alternative
vendors or sources. The loss of such functionality could result in the loss of
existing customers and revenue. To mitigate the negative impact of the potential
loss of such functionality Insurint has contractual agreements with key vendors,
which include performance standards and minimum contractual time periods.
Insurint monitors these key vendor relationships, their performance of services
and periodically evaluates alternative vendors and services.
6
Insurint depends on various hosting and
technology vendors, which provide services critical to Insurint’s delivery of
products and services to Insurint’s customers. Such hosting and technology
services can be replaced with comparable services from other vendors on short
notice.
Competition
InsPro
The market for insurance policy
administration systems and services are very competitive, rapidly evolving,
highly fragmented and subject to rapid technological change. Many of our
competitors are more established than we are and have greater name recognition,
a larger customer base and greater financial, technical and marketing resources
than InsPro.
InsPro is focused on the senior health,
disability, affinity and association segments. InsPro competes with such
concerns as International Business Machines Corporation (Genelco Software),
Computer Sciences Corporation (FutureFirst), LifePro and Fiserv Inc. (ID3), as
well as with such smaller enterprises as Management Data, Inc. To compete we use
best practice technologies and methods incorporated into InsPro, which provides
customers with a user-friendly, flexible, modular and cost-effective insurance
administrative software system. We also compete on price with a typical InsPro
software license fee ranging from $500,000 to $750,000, compared to $800,000 to
$900,000 from our competitors. InsPro’s modular design, scalability and ASP
hosting service option makes it a compelling insurance administrative system
from small third party administrators to the largest insurance
carriers.
Insurint
The life and health insurance field
agent tool market is fragmented, but also very competitive, and is characterized
by rapidly changing consumer demand and technological change. We believe
Insurint’s competitors fall into three categories, which are:
|
·
|
Direct
competitors, who provide web based tools targeting the life and health
insurance agent’s desktop, which includes Norvax, Quotit and
HealthConnect;
|
|
·
|
The
insurance agent’s insurance agencies and their technology partners, who
provide internally developed web based
tools;
|
|
·
|
Indirect
competitors who provide web based tools targeting insurance agents selling
insurance products other than primarily health insurance, such as
Agencyworks’ InsureSocket Brokerage, Connecture’s InsureConnect, and
iPipeline, which all target life insurance agents, and Ebix (for Life and
Property and casualty insurance agents) and iBommerang, which provide
co-browsing for insurance agents.
|
Insurint’s major competitors in the
agent quoting and sales software market for individual major medical products
are Norvax, which was founded in 2001 and has created a recognized brand, and
Quotit, which was founded in 1999 and has strong relationships with more than
120 insurance carriers in health, life, dental and vision insurance
markets.

Sale
of Insurint
On March
31, 2010, the Company entered into and completed an asset purchase agreement of
sale for Insurint (“Insurint Sale Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third
party. Pursuant to the terms of the Insurint Sale Agreement the
Company sold essentially all assets used in the Company’s Insurint’s business
including the Insurint software, www.insurint.com web site, other intellectual
property specific to Insurint including but not limited to the customer base and
all future revenue pertaining to Insurint. The buyer agrees to assume
future Insurint commitments and expenses subsequent to March 31,
2010.
Pursuant
to the Insurint Sale Agreement the Company will receive in aggregate $625,000 in
cash from the buyer of Insurint, of which $312,500 was received on April 1, 2010
and the $312,500 balance will be received over twenty three equal monthly
installments in the amount of $13,020.83, with the first monthly payment being
due on May 1, 2010, and a last monthly payment being in the amount of $13,020.91
and being due on April 1, 2012.
As of
December 31, 2009 the Company’s assets and liabilities pertaining to Insurint
were $7,906 and $20,753 respectively. As of December 31, 2009 the
Company’s long lived assets pertaining to Insurint were fully depreciated or
fully amortized. The Company’s revenue and expense pertaining to Insurint for
the year ended December 31, 2009 was $163,783 and $1,557,901,
respectively. As of December 31, 2009 the Company had 3 full time
employees devoted exclusively to Insurint. The Company’s revenue and
expense pertaining to Insurint will cease effective March 31, 2010.
The
Company anticipates recording a gain on the sale of Insurint of approximately
$625,000 on March 31, 2010.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009 we had 47
employees, which included 46 full-time and 1 part-time employee. None of our
employees are members of any labor union and we are not a party to any
collective bargaining agreement. We believe that the relationship between our
management and our employees is good.
Intellectual
Property and Proprietary Rights
We rely on a combination of trademark,
copyright and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions as
well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our
proprietary technology and our brand. We also have filed patent applications
that relate to certain of our technologies and business processes.
Governmental
Regulation
There are still relatively few laws or
regulations specifically addressing our Internet activities. As a result, the
manner in which existing laws and regulations could be applied to the Internet
in general, and how they relate to our businesses in particular, is unclear in
many cases. Such uncertainty arises under existing laws regulating matters
including user privacy, defamation, pricing, advertising, taxation, gambling,
sweepstakes, promotions, content regulation, quality of products and services,
and intellectual property ownership and infringement.
We expect to post privacy policy and
practices concerning the use and disclosure of any user data on our websites.
Failure to comply with posted privacy policies, Federal Trade Commission
requirements, or other domestic or international privacy-related laws and
regulations could result in governmental proceedings. There are multiple
legislative proposals before federal and state legislative bodies regarding
privacy issues. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation
may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could harm our business
through a decrease in use and revenue.

LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
|
On August 28, 2008, one of our former
employees, the plaintiff, filed a national class action complaint in the
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Broward County, case no. 062008 CA
042798 XXX CE, alleging that we breached a contract with employees by failing to
provide certain commissions and/or bonuses. The complaint also contained claims
for an accounting and for declaratory relief relating to the alleged
compensation agreement. The plaintiff purported to bring these claims on
behalf of a class of current and former insurance sales agents. We filed a
motion to dismiss the complaint. In response, at the hearing on our Motion
to Dismiss, the plaintiff stated that he would amend the complaint. The
amended complaint is no longer pled as a class action but, instead, includes 64
named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek payment from us of all commissions
allegedly owed to them, triple damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and
interest. The parties are engaging in the exchange of discovery requests
and responses. We believe that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit
and intend to vigorously defend the litigation.
10
On March 24, 2009, certain of our
stockholders filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of New York, Index No. 650174/2009, against us, our board of directors,
two of our investors and the investors’ affiliates relating to alleged offers we
purportedly received in 2008 and a private placement transaction conducted in
January 2009. The plaintiffs alleged that the members of our board of directors
breached their fiduciary duties in responding to the offers received in 2008 and
in connection with the private placement transaction conducted in January 2009.
The complaint also contained claims for unjust enrichment against certain
directors whom plaintiffs claim are “interested” and claims for aiding and
abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against our stockholder,
Cross Atlantic Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The plaintiffs sought
to rescind and cancel the private placement, enjoin the board of directors from
undertaking certain measures and remove certain directors from the board. The
plaintiffs also sought money judgments in an amount not less than $10,000,000,
plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and accounts and experts’ fees. On May 29, 2009,
the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. The motion was granted on August
13, 2009 on forum non conveniens grounds. On August 14, 2009, a writ of summons
was filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County No. 090801764
against us, our board of directors, two of our investors and the investors’
affiliates by the same stockholders who brought the New York action and seven
additional stockholders.
On October 27, 2009 we entered into an
agreement with the stockholders who brought the New York action in which they
agreed to withdraw from the Philadelphia litigation and provided a general
release of all claims against us, our board of directors and the other
defendants. These stockholders discontinued their claims against the defendants
in the writ of summons filed in August. The terms of this settlement
agreement required Co-Investment Fund to purchase all of the shares of common
stock held by the settling plaintiffs (which amounted to 6,108,997
shares).
On December 21, 2009, five of the
remaining shareholders who filed the writ of summons discontinued their claims
against the defendants named in the writ of summons. Also on December 21,
2009, Alvin Clemens, a former officer and director of our company, Robert Kaul
and Arthur Nagel (both of whom are shareholders of our company) filed a
complaint in the Philadelphia action. The complaint brought claims for breach of
fiduciary duty against the members of our board of directors for their alleged
actions in responding to the offers received in 2008 and in connection with the
private placement transaction conducted in January 2009. The complaint also
contained claims for aiding and abetting the alleged breach of fiduciary duty
and unjust enrichment against our stockholder, Cross Atlantic Capital Partners,
Inc., and its affiliates. The plaintiffs sought to rescind and cancel the
private placement, enjoin the board of directors from undertaking certain
measures and remove certain directors from the board. The plaintiffs also sought
money judgment against our board members in an amount in excess of $50,000 and
against Cross Atlantic and its affiliates in an amount in excess of $10,000,000,
plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and accounts and experts’
fees. Defendants filed preliminary objections to the complaint on
January 11, 2010, arguing that the claims should be dismissed and/or venue
should be in Delaware County and not in Philadelphia County. Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint on February 1, 2010 but then discontinued and ended
their complaint on February 22, 2010.
We are also involved in various
investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our
business, none of which, in our opinion, will harm our business. We cannot
assure that we will prevail in any litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any
litigation may require us to incur significant litigation expense and may result
in significant diversion of our attention.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
Overview
The current operations of Health
Benefits Direct Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) consist of
InsPro Technologies, LLC and Insurint Corporation.
InsPro
is a comprehensive, web-based insurance administration software application.
InsPro was introduced by Atiam Technologies, L.P. (now our InsPro Technologies,
LLC subsidiary) in 2004. InsPro clients include health insurance carriers and
third party administrators. Unlike our Insurint platform, we market InsPro as a
licensed software application, and we realize revenue from the sale of the
software licenses, application service provider fees, software maintenance fees
and consulting and implementation services.
12
Insurint™
is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates
real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated
carriers of health and life insurance and related products. We market Insurint
using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model instead of software licensing model,
which offers easy web-based distribution and pay-as-you-go pricing. We market
Insurint primarily to insurance agents, agencies, and other organizations
selling health insurance products to families and individuals. Unlike existing
health insurance quote engines, Insurint also enables an agent to input
responses to a set of questions about the health of proposed insureds, which
enables the agent to place an insurance policy faster and more accurately. In
addition, Insurint offers a suite of sales tools that agents can use to increase
their overall sales production.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Financial Reporting Release No. 60,
which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies
or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The Company's
consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant
accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting
policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates - Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation is based upon the Company’s
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates,
including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and
long-lived assets such as intangible assets. Management bases these 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 of
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008
include the allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the
useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, accrued expenses
pertaining to abandoned facilities, warrant liability and revenue
recognition. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
InsPro Technologies offers InsPro on a
licensed and an application service provider (“ASP”) basis. An InsPro
software license entitles the purchaser a perpetual license to a copy of the
InsPro software installed at a single client location, which may be used to
drive a production and model office instance of the application. The
ASP Hosting Service enables a client to lease the InsPro software, paying only
for that capacity required to support their business. ASP clients
access an instance of InsPro installed on InsPro Technologies owned servers
located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a third party’s site.
Software maintenance fees apply to both
licensed and ASP clients. Maintenance fees cover periodic updates to
the application and the InsPro Help Desk.
Consulting and implementation services
are generally associated with the implementation of an InsPro instance for
either an ASP or licensed client, and cover such activity as InsPro
installation, configuration, modification of InsPro functionality, client
insurance plan set-up, client insurance document design, and system
documentation.
13
InsPro
Technologies revenue is generally recognized under ASC
985-605. For software arrangements involving multiple elements,
the Company allocates revenue to each element based on the relative fair value
or the residual method, as applicable using vendor specific objective evidence
to determine fair value, which is based on prices charged when the element is
sold separately. Software revenue accounted for under ASC 985-605 is recognized
when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software is delivered in
accordance with all terms and conditions of the customer contracts, the fee is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue related
to post-contract customer support (“PCS”), including technical support and
unspecified when-and-if available software upgrades, is recognized ratably over
the PCS term. Under ASC 985-605, if fair value does not exist
for any undelivered element, revenue is not recognized until the earlier of
(i) delivery of such element or (ii) when fair value of the
undelivered element is established, unless the undelivered element is a service,
in which case revenue is recognized as the service is performed once the service
is the only undelivered element.
Insurint Corporation offers Insurint™,
which is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that
aggregates real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple
highly-rated carriers of health and life insurance and related
products. Insurint typically charges its clients a one time account
set up fee, which is recognized as earned when collected and the service has
been provided, and recurring access fees, which are typically monthly in
frequency and are recognized as the service is provided.
The Company recognizes revenues from
software license agreements when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists,
delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is probable. The Company considers fees relating to
arrangements with payment terms extending beyond one year to not be fixed or
determinable and revenue for these arrangements is recognized as payments become
due from the customer. In software arrangements that include more
than one InsPro module, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among
the modules based on the relative fair value of each of the
modules.
License revenue allocated to software
products generally is recognized upon delivery of the products or deferred and
recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or
more elements to be delivered at a future date and for which fair values have
not been established. Revenue allocated to maintenance agreements is
recognized ratably over the maintenance term and revenue allocated to training
and other service elements is recognized as the services are
performed.
The unearned portion of InsPro
Technologies’ and Insurint’s revenue, which is revenue collected or billed but
not yet recognized as earned, has been included in the consolidated balance
sheet as a liability for deferred revenue.
We review the carrying value of
property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment at least annually or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured
by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the
asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to
be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market
value.

Consulting
and implementation services are from seven InsPro clients. The
increase in consulting and implementation services in 2009 as compared to
2008 is attributable to an increase in work modification enhancements and
data conversion required for additional clients. Implementation
services provided to these clients included assisting clients in setting
up their insurance products in InsPro, providing modifications to InsPro’s
functionality to support the client’s business, interfacing InsPro with
the client’s other systems, automation of client correspondence to their
customers and data conversion from the client’s existing systems to
InsPro.
|
|
·
|
In
2009 and 2008 we earned $1,162,500 and $115,000, respectively, from sales
of software licenses from 3 InsPro clients in 2009 and 1 client in
2008.
|
|
·
|
In
2009 we earned ASP revenue from seven InsPro clients as compared to five
in 2008. ASP hosting service enables a client to lease the InsPro
software, paying only for that capacity required to support their
business. ASP clients access InsPro installed on InsPro
Technologies owned servers located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a
third party’s site.

·
|
In
2009 we earned maintenance revenues from four clients compared to two
clients in 2008.
|
|
·
|
In
2009 we earned other technology fees of $163,947 relating to Insurint
technology fees as compared to $97,177 in 2008. The increase is
due to an increase in the number of customers and the commencement of
Insurint’s technology fees in the second quarter of 2008. The
Company’s Insurint subsidiary provides a proprietary, professional-grade,
web based agent portal to support and assist insurance agents in the
business of marketing and selling health insurance and related
products.

In
2009 we earned sub-leasing revenue of $30,050 from the sub-leasing of

$2,192,520 or 17% as compared to 2008. The primary reason for the

Salaries,
wages and bonuses were $6,030,576 in 2009 as compared to $4,800,916 in
2008, an increase of $1,229,660 or 26%. The increase is the
result of the hiring of additional staff in InsPro Technologies’ sales and
technology departments and Insurint’s sales departments to promote the
growth in revenue and to service an expanding client base and $328,366 of
bonuses in 2009.
|
|
·
|
Share
based employee and director compensation expense was $555,161 in 2009 as
compared to $1,448,836 in 2008, a decrease of $893,675 or
62%.
|
|
o
|
The
decrease is attributable to expense pertaining to an option grant to Mr.
Alvin Clemens, who is our former CEO, in the Second Quarter 2008, and due
to the vesting of an option grant to a director and options to directors
and employees. Share based employee and director compensation
consist of stock option and restricted stock grants, which are valued at
fair-value at the date of the grant and expensed over the stock option’s
vesting period or the duration of employment, whichever is
shorter.
|
16
|
o
|
All
issued, outstanding and unvested options and restricted stock grants as of
October 29, 2009 became vested as a result of a change of control, which
occurred on October 29, 2009, in accordance with the Company’s 2008 Equity
Compensation Plan, which resulted in $121,160 of share based employee and
director compensation expense in
2009.
|
|
·
|
Commissions
to employees represents commissions paid to InsPro Technologies and
Insurint sales personnel.
|
|
·
|
Employee
benefits expense increased as a result of the hiring of additional staff
in InsPro Technologies and Insurint. Our employee benefit
cost consists of the company paid portion of group medical, dental and
life insurance coverage and partial company matching of employee
contributions to a 401(k) plan. The increase was the result of an increase
in InsPro Technologies’ and Insurint’s
staffing.
|
|
·
|
Payroll
taxes expense increased as a result of the hiring of additional staff in
InsPro Technologies and Insurint partially offset by a greater number of
salaries exceeding the maximum FICA contribution
limit.
|
|
·
|
Severance
and other compensation increased primarily as a result of the Separation
of Employment and General Release Agreement with Mr.
Eissa.
|
Advertising and other marketing in 2009
was $282,456 as compared to $32,497 in 2008. The increase was due to the use of
outside agencies for services rendered in connection with the development of
InsPro Technologies’ marketing strategy including creating the corporate brand
and message and redesign of all sales and marketing material, company web site,
brochures and sales presentation.

primarily due to legal costs incurred in connection with litigation with
certain shareholders.

In
2009 computer processing, hardware and software expense increased due to
an increase in InsPro ASP clients to seven in 2009 compared to five in

hosting services. InsPro Technologies has a hosting services
contract with a third party, which can be terminated with notice and
payment of a termination fee. This third party provides InsPro
Technologies with hosting services for our client’s ASP production and
test environments. In 2009 computer processing fees increased compared to
2008 due to the implementation of two additional ASP hosting
agreements.

During the first quarter of 2009, we
ceased the direct marketing and sale of health and life insurance and related
products to individuals and families in its Telesales call center. We
also discontinued the sale of health and life insurance and related products to
individuals and families through our non employee ISG agents. During
the first quarter of 2009 our Telesales business segment eliminated 43 positions
including all of its licensed employee sales agents along with other Telesales
service and support personnel and eliminated another 20 positions in Telesales
through attrition.
On February 20, 2009, we completed the
sale of our Telesales call center produced agency business to eHealth Insurance
Services, Inc., an unaffiliated third party.
Under the terms of our sale to eHealth,
we transferred to eHealth broker of record status and the right to receive
commissions on certain of the in-force individual and family major medical
health insurance policies and ancillary dental, life and vision insurance
policies issued by Aetna, Inc., Golden Rule, Humana, PacifiCare, Inc., Assurant
and United Healthcare Insurance Co. on which we were designated as broker of
record. Certain policies and products were excluded from the
transaction, including our agency business generated through our ISG agents, all
short term medical products and all business produced through carriers other
than those noted above. In addition, we also transferred to eHealth
certain lead information relating to health insurance
prospects.
20
The aggregate initial amount of
consideration paid by eHealth to us during the first quarter of 2009 was
approximately $1,280,000. In addition, eHealth assumed from us certain
liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the transferred
policies made by the specified carriers in an aggregate amount of approximately
$1,385,000. eHealth has also agreed to pay to HBDC II, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, a portion of each commission
payment received by eHealth and reported by the specified carrier relating to a
transferred policy for the duration of the policy, provided that eHealth remains
broker of record on such transferred policy.
Simultaneous with our sale to eHealth,
we also entered into a Marketing and Referral Agreement with eHealth. Pursuant
to the terms of this agreement, eHealth agreed to construct one or more websites
for the purpose of selling health insurance products and to pay to HBDC II a
portion of all first year and renewal commissions received by eHealth from
policies sold through the Referral Sites that result from marketing to prospects
using the lead database or other leads delivered by us to eHealth. This
agreement is scheduled to terminate in August 2010 and is terminable by us or
eHealth upon material breach by the other party.
For 2009 we earned revenues in
discontinued operations of $8,286,627 compared to $18,452,338 in 2008, a
decrease of $10,165,711 or 55%. Revenues include the
following:
|
·
|
During
2009 we recognized commission and other revenue from carriers of
$2,157,217 as compared to $17,583,578 in 2008. The decrease is
primarily the result of the execution of the agreement with eHealth
whereby we no longer receive commission revenue on transferred policies
effective on or about February 1, 2009. We continue to receive commissions
from carriers other than specified carriers and commissions on policies
other than transferred policies.
|
|
·
|
During
2009 we recognized a gain upon the execution of the agreement of
$2,664,794, which is the sum of the aggregate initial amount of
consideration paid by eHealth to us and eHealth’s assumption of certain
liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the transferred
policies.
|
|
·
|
During
2009 we recognized $1,786,480 from commission payments from eHealth
subsequent to the sale of our agency business. We recognize as
revenue commission payments received from eHealth upon our notification by
eHealth of such amounts.

During
2009 we recognized a gain on disposal of property and equipment of
$233,228. On July 1, 2009 we entered into a sub-lease agreement
with a third party, effective July 15, 2009, which terminated an existing
sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield
Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement for approximately
29,952 square feet. This new sub-lease terminates on February
28, 2011. As part of the sub-lease agreement, we also agreed to
lease certain personal property to the sub-lessee for the term of the
lease. The sub-lessee agreed to pay us 20 monthly
payments of $10,890 for such personal property and we have agreed to
deliver to the sub-lessee a bill of sale for the leased personal property
at the end of the term. We have accounted for this personal
property sub-lease arrangement as a sale. During 2009 we earned lead
sale-revenue of $2,670 as compared to $391,193 in 2008. We
re-sold certain Telesales leads that we purchase in order to recoup a
portion of our lead cost. The decrease in lead sales revenue is
a result of the cessation of direct marketing in the first quarter of
2009.
|
|
·
|
During
2009 we earned sub-lease revenue of $1,442,238 as compared to $460,640 in
2008 relating to the sub-lease of a portion of our Florida office and our
former New York sales office. Sub-lease revenue includes base rent,
additional rent pertaining to utilities and occupancy costs and certain
telephony, technology and facility services provided by us to certain of
our sub-tenants.

On
February 21, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party
whereby the third party sub-leased approximately 5,200 square feet of our
Deerfield Beach office space beginning March 1, 2008 through February 28,
2009. This sub-lease agreement was amended and restated on
October 3, 2008 to increase the sub-leased square footage to 13,900 and
extend the lease term through January 31,
2010.

On
October 1, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party
whereby the third party sub-leased approximately 8,000 square feet of our
Deerfield Beach office space beginning October 15, 2008 through January
31, 2010. On July 1, 2009 we entered into a sub-lease
agreement with a third party effective July 15, 2009, which terminated an
existing sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of our
Deerfield Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement of
approximately 29,952 square feet. This sub-lease terminates on
February 28, 2011. In accordance with this sub-lease agreement
we recognize base rent, additional rent representing a portion of certain
actual occupancy expenses for our Deerfield Beach office and certain
telephony, technology and facility services provided to our
sub-tenant.

On
April 17, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party
whereby the third party agreed to sub-lease our New York office space for
the balance of our sublease agreement and pay us sub-lease payments
essentially equal to our costs under the sublease
agreement. The third party commenced paying sub-sublease
payments to us in September 2008; however the third party failed to pay
its December 2008 and subsequent rent when due. We were a
beneficiary to a letter of credit in the amount of $151,503, which we had
drawn against as a result of the third party’s failure to pay its rent
when due. On July 23, 2009 we entered into a settlement
agreement with the third party whereby we cancelled the sub-lease, the
third party surrendered the sub-leased premises back to us and we and the
third party each released each other from all
claims.

Total operating expenses of
discontinued operations for 2009 was $7,322,609 as compared to $20,554,464 for
2008, for a decrease of $13,231,855 or 64% as compared to 2008.
|
·
|
The
primary reason for the decrease in operating expenses of discontinued
operations is attributable to the cessation of direct marketing and
selling activities in the first quarter of
2009.
|
|
·
|
During
the first quarter of 2009 we determined certain long term assets were
impaired as a result of the cessation of direct marketing and sales in the
Telesales call center. We recorded expense in 2009 to write-off
the value of these long term assets, which included property and equipment
net of depreciation of $416,764, intangible assets net of accumulated
amortization acquired from ISG of $1,200,428 and the value of internet
domain name www.healthbenefitsdirect.com
net of accumulated amortization of
$22,389.
|
|
·
|
During
the second quarter we recorded $2,031,210 of rent expense related to the
non-cancelable lease for the abandoned portion of the Deerfield Beach
office. Effective December 31, 2009, we have accrued $1,848,674
related to the non-cancelable lease for the abandoned portion of the
Deerfield Beach office, which is the net present value of our future lease
payments through March 31, 2011 and consideration for early termination
due under the lease plus management’s estimate of contractually required
expenses pertaining to the Deerfield Beach office, which are estimated to
be $2,861,749, less a portion of the Deerfield Beach office used in
operations, which is estimated to be $62,396, less future sub-lease
revenue, which is estimated to be
$938,786.

Gain
(loss) from discontinued operations
As a result of the aforementioned
factors, we reported a gain from discontinued operations of $964,018 or $0.02
gain from discontinued operations per share in 2009 as compared to a loss from
discontinued operations of $2,102,126 or $0.05 loss from discontinued operations
per share in 2008.
Other
income (expenses)
Interest income was attributable to
interest-bearing cash deposits resulting from the capital raised in private
placements. The decrease in interest income is the result of a
decline in interest rates and to a lesser extent a decline in cash
balances.
Interest expense pertains to imputed
interest on certain employee obligations.
Gain on
change in fair value of warrants liabilities of $534,391 in 2009, which we were
not required to recognize in 2008, represents the mark to market adjustment for
the increase in fair value of warrants issued on March 30, 2007, March 31, 2008
and January 15, 2009, which contain provisions that adjust the exercise price of
these warrants in the event the Company issues Common Stock or other securities
convertible into Common Stock at price lower than the exercise price of these
warrants.
Net
loss
As a result of these factors discussed
above, we reported a net loss of $6,331,310 or $0.16 loss per share in 2009 as
compared to a net loss of $8,976,084 or $0.23 loss per share in
2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2009, we had a cash
balance of $1,403,653 and negative working capital of ($3,277,394).
At December 31, 2009, we had a
restricted cash balance of $1,154,044, which represents a bank certificate of
deposit and a bank money market account with restricted balances pertaining to
two letters of credit for the benefit of the landlords of our Florida and New
York offices. These bank accounts are on deposit with the issuer of
the letters of credit. The Company receives the interest on these
bank accounts.
On
December 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan
Agreement”) and a $1,250,000 Secured Promissory Note, or the Note, with The
Co-Investment Fund II, L.P., or Co-Investment,. Co-Investment is the
controlling stockholder of the Company and a designee of Cross Atlantic Capital
Partners, Inc., of which Frederick C. Tecce, one of our directors, is a managing
partner and of which Donald Caldwell, also one of our directors and Chairman of
our board of directors, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Note, Co-Investment extended the
principal sum of $1,250,000, or the Loan, to the Company and the Subsidiaries,
or collectively, the Borrowers. Pursuant to the Note, the Borrowers
agreed to pay to the order of Co-Investment, the outstanding principal amount of
the Note plus interest. Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal
balance of the Note at an annual rate of 8%, except in the case of an event of
default as set forth in the Loan Agreement, in which case the rate of interest
will increase to 11% until such event of default is cured. All
principal and accrued interest is due and payable on December 22, 2010.
Co-Investment may accelerate payment of the Loan in the event of default
on the Loan as set forth in Loan Agreement.
23
Pursuant
to the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers are prohibited from, among other things:
(a) (i) entering into any merger, consolidation or reorganization with or
acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of any
other entity, or (ii) selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of
their properties or assets except in the ordinary course of business; (b)
creating or suffering to exist any lien upon any of their property or assets,
except as permitted; (c) becoming liable upon the obligations or liabilities of
any person or entity; (d) purchasing or acquiring obligations or equity
interests of, or any other interest in any person or entity; (e) making
advances, loans or extensions of credit to any person or entity; (f) creating,
incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any indebtedness or (g) violating any
law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity.
The Note
is secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in substantially all
of the assets of the Borrowers, including all of the intellectual property
assets of the Borrowers, and 100% of the stock of the Company’s Subsidiaries,
pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, Intellectual Property Security
Agreement and Pledge Agreement with Co-Investment, each of which were executed
by the Borrowers and Co-Investment on December 22, 2009, concurrent with the
execution of the Loan Agreement and the Note.
On January 14, 2009, we entered into
and, on January 15, 2009 completed, a private placement with Co-Investment, for
an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock, and warrants to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock. The gross proceeds
from the closing were $4 million and we have used, and intend to continue
to use, the net proceeds of this private placement for working capital
purposes.
During the year ended December 31,
2008, we generated approximately $5 million in working capital from a private
placement on March 31, 2008 of an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of our common
stock and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of our common stock to certain
institutional investors. The gross proceeds from this private
placement were $5,000,000, net of $70,238 of legal and other
expenses.
Net cash used by operations was
$5,327,683 in the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net cash used by
operations of $8,354,232 in the year ended December 31, 2008. In the
year ended December 31, 2009, we used cash to fund our net loss of $6,331,310
and:
|
·
|
Decreases
in accounts receivable of $557,515, which is primarily the result of
decreased billings to certain of InsPro Technologies’
clients.
|
|
·
|
Increases
in accounts payable of $536,755, which is primarily the result of the
Company’s delay in paying its vendors due to delays in the Company’s
collection of receivables from certain InsPro
clients.
|
|
·
|
Increases
in accrued expenses of $119,478, which is the result of accrued severance
as a result of the Separation of Employment and General Release Agreement
with Mr. Eissa.
|
|
·
|
Decreases
in liabilities of discontinued operations of $1,577,445, which is
primarily the result of the repayment and assumption of certain unearned
commission advances as a result of the sale of our Telesales call center
produced agency business, which was partially offset by the accrual of the
non-cancelable lease for the abandoned portion of the Deerfield Beach
office.

activities we incurred $2,652,743 of non cash expenses and impairments in the
year ended December 31, 2009, which were included in our net loss,

Liquidity
Considerations
During the year ended December 31, 2009
we used $5,327,683 of cash to fund operations and $304,478 of cash to fund
investing activities. As of December 31, 2009, we have funded our
operating activities from the proceeds of the sale of shares of our equity
securities and from the proceeds from a Secured Note. On March 31, 2010, we
completed the sale for Insurint whereby we sold essentially all assets used in
Insurint’s business for $625,000 of which $312,500 was received on April 1, 2010
and the $312,500 balance will be received in essentially 24 monthly installments
commencing on May 1, 2010. In addition to the sale proceeds we will
eliminate Insurint’s revenue and expense, which for the year ended December 31,
2009, was $163,783 and $1,557,901, respectively. On April 13, 2010
the Company and Co-Investment agreed to modify the terms of the Loan Agreement
and the Note such that; i) the $1,250,000 Loan can be increased upon demand by
the Board of Directors of Parent (with 10 days written notice) by an additional
amount of up to $1,000,000 under the same terms and conditions as in the Loan
Agreement and Note, and ii) the date the Loan and accrued interest will be due
and payable was changed from December 22, 2010 to July 1,
2011. Management believes that our cash on hand together with the net
proceeds of the March 2010 issuance of equity securities through our rights
offering, the recent sale of our Insurint business combined with the
modification of the Loan Agreement and Note will be sufficient to meet our cash
requirements through at least the next 12 months.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any
relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as
entities referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which
would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet or
other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
The letters of credit pertaining to
the lease for our Florida office and our New York office were collateralized in
the form of a money market account, which as of December 31, 2009, had a balance
of $1,154,044. This money market account is on deposit with the
issuer of the letters of credit and is classified as restricted cash on our
balance sheet. The terms of the money market account allow us to
receive interest on the principal but prohibit us from withdrawing the principal
for the life of the letters of credit.
Guarantee of Indebtedness by
the Company to Third Parties Pertaining to Unearned Commission Advances Paid to
Non-employee ISG Agents
We are a party to sales and marketing
agreements whereby we have guaranteed the repayment of unearned commission
advances paid directly from third parties including certain of our insurance
carriers to our non-employee ISG agents. Under these agreements
certain third parties pay commissions directly to our non-employee ISG agents
and such payments include advances of first year premium commissions before the
commissions are earned. Unearned commission advances from our
insurance carriers to our non-employee ISG agents are earned after the insurance
company has received payment of the related premium. In the event
that the insurance company does not receive payment of the related premium
pertaining to an unearned commission advance the third parties generally deduct
the unearned commission advance from its commission payments to our non-employee
ISG agents in the form of charge-backs. In the event that commission
payments from these third parties to our non-employee ISG agents do not exceed
the charge-backs these third parties may deduct the unearned commission advance
to non-employee ISG agents from their payments to us or demand repayment of the
non-employee ISG agents’ unearned commission balance from us. The
current amount of the unearned commission advances these third parties to our
non-employee ISG agents, which is the maximum potential amount of future
payments us could be required to make to these third parties, is estimated to be
approximately $643,000 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31,
2009 we had recorded a liability of $33,070 in accrued expenses for the
estimated amount we anticipate we will pay pertaining to these
guarantees. Unearned commission advances from these third parties are
collateralized by the future commission payments to the non-employee ISG agents
and to us. We have recourse against certain non-employee ISG agents
in the event we must pay the unearned commission advances.
License Agreement With
Realtime Solutions Group
On May 31, 2006, we entered into a
Software and Services Agreement with Realtime Solutions Group, L.L.C., or
Realtime, under which Realtime granted us a worldwide, transferable,
non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, display, copy, modify,
enhance, create derivate works within, and access Realtime Solutions Group’s
Straight Through Processing software, or STP, and all associated documentation,
source code and object code, for use in the marketing, promotion and sale of
health benefits or insurance products.
As consideration for the grant of the
rights and licenses under the agreement, we paid to Realtime a $10,000
nonrefundable cash deposit and, upon delivery of the STP software and other
materials, we agreed to pay to Realtime a license fee in the form of 216,612
unregistered shares of our common stock.
26
We may unilaterally terminate the
Realtime agreement, with or without cause, at any time on 30 calendar days prior
written notice to Realtime. The license rights in the software granted under the
Realtime agreement survive any termination of the agreement.
As of December 31, 2009 we had not
taken delivery of the STP software or issued common stock in connection with the
Realtime agreement.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors
Health
Benefits Direct Corporation
Radnor,
Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Health Benefits Direct Corporation and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Health Benefits Direct Corporation and Subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

NOTE 1 –
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Health
Benefits Direct Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was
incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 21, 2004 as Darwin
Resources Corp., (“Darwin-NV”). On November 22, 2005, Darwin-NV
merged with and into its newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Darwin Resources
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Darwin-DE”), solely for the purpose of changing
the Company’s state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware. On
November 23, 2005, HBDC II, Inc., a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of
Darwin-DE, was merged with and into Health Benefits Direct Corporation, a
privately-held Delaware corporation (“HBDC”), and the name of the resulting
entity was changed from Health Benefits Direct Corporation to HBDC II,
Inc. Following the merger, Darwin-DE changed its name to Health
Benefits Direct Corporation.
HBDC was
formed in January 2004 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating
businesses engaged in direct marketing and distribution of health and life
insurance products, primarily utilizing the Internet. On September 9, 2005, HBDC
acquired three affiliated Internet health insurance marketing companies, namely
Platinum Partners, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Health Benefits
Direct II, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and Health Benefits Direct
III, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. HBDC issued 7,500,000 shares of
its common stock and a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock, in
the aggregate, in exchange for 100% of the limited liability company interests
of these companies.
The
acquisition of HBDC by the Company was accounted for as a reverse merger
because, on a post-merger basis, the former HBDC shareholders held a majority of
the outstanding common stock of the Company on a voting and fully diluted basis.
As a result, HBDC was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements presented for the period
ended December 31, 2005, are those of HBDC for all periods prior to the
acquisition, and the financial statements of the consolidated companies from the
acquisition date forward. The historical shareholders' deficit of HBDC prior to
the acquisition has been retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the
equivalent number of shares received in the acquisition after giving effect to
any differences in the par value of the Company and HBDC's common stock, with an
offset to additional paid-in capital. The restated consolidated retained
earnings of the accounting acquirer, HBDC, are carried forward after the
acquisition.
During
the second quarter of 2009 Atiam Technologies, LLC was renamed InsPro
Technologies, LLC (“InsPro Technologies”). InsPro Technologies is a
provider of comprehensive, web-based insurance administration software
applications. InsPro Technologies’ flagship software product is
InsPro, which was introduced in 2004. InsPro Technologies offers
InsPro on a licensed and an ASP (Application Service Provider)
basis. InsPro is an insurance administration and marketing system
that supports group and individual business lines, and efficiently processes
agent, direct market, worksite and web site generated
business. InsPro Technologies’ clients include insurance carriers and
third party administrators. InsPro Technologies realizes revenue from
the sale of software licenses, application service provider fees, software
maintenance fees and consulting and implementation services. We
acquired InsPro Technologies on October 1, 2007.
Insurint™
is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates
real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated
carriers of health and life insurance and related products. We market
Insurint using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model instead of software
licensing model, which offers easy web-based distribution and pay-as-you-go
pricing. We market primarily to insurance agents, agencies, and other
organizations selling health insurance products to families and
individuals. Unlike existing health insurance quote engines, Insurint
also enables an agent to input responses to a set of questions about the health
of proposed insureds to place an insurance policy faster and more accurately. In
addition, Insurint offers a suite of sales tools that agents can use to increase
their overall sales production.

The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US
GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include
the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
These
financial statements have been restated to reflect discontinued

selling activities in Telesales and sold the majority of our call
center-produced agency business to eHealth Insurance Services, Inc.

Use of
estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for
doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the useful lives of property and
equipment and intangible assets, warrant liability and revenue
recognition.
Cash and cash
equivalents
The
Company considers all liquid debt instruments with original maturities of 3
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted
cash
The
Company considers all cash and cash equivalents held in restricted accounts
pertaining to the Company’s letters of credit as restricted cash.
Accounts
receivable
The
Company has a policy of establishing an allowance for uncollectible accounts
based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its
existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts
receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis
of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of
an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are
charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and
the potential for recovery is considered remote. At December 31, 2009, the
Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an
allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $4,736.

Fair value of financial
instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
capital leases approximated fair value as of December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008, because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and
their market interest rates.
Property and
equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is
expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are
capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains
or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" the Company examines the
possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in
circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be
recoverable.
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets consist of assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of InsPro
Technologies, costs incurred in connection with the development of the Company’s
software and the purchase of internet domain names. See Note 3 –
InsPro Technologies Acquisition and Note 5 – Intangible Assets.
The
Company’s capitalization of software development costs for software used
internally begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the
software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing
assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by
management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited
to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life, and
changes in software and hardware technology. Capitalized software development
costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated
economic life of the software not to exceed three years. We regularly review the
carrying value of software development assets and a loss is recognized when the
unamortized costs are deemed unrecoverable based on the estimated cash flows to
be generated from the applicable software.

NOTE 1 –
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Company’s InsPro Technologies subsidiary capitalized certain costs valued in
connection with developing or obtaining software for external use. These costs,
which consist of direct technology labor costs, are capitalized subsequent to
the establishment of technological feasibility and until the product is
available for general release. Both prior and subsequent costs
relating to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as
incurred. Development costs associated with product enhancements that
extend the original product’s life or significantly improve the original
product’s marketability are also capitalized once technological feasibility has
been established. Software development costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the products not to
exceed two years, beginning with the initial release to
customers. The Company continually evaluates whether events or
circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life of the
capitalized software development costs should be revised or the remaining
balance of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates
the recoverability of capitalized software based on the net realizable value of
its software products, as defined by the estimated future revenue from the
products less the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of the
products, compared to the unamortized capitalized costs of the
products. As of December 31, 2009, management believes no revisions
to the remaining useful life or additional write-downs of capitalized software
development costs are required because the net realizable value of its software
products exceeds the unamortized capitalized costs. Management’s
estimates about future revenue and costs associated with its software products
are subject to risks and uncertainties related to, among other things, market
and industry conditions, technological changes, and regulatory
factors. A change in estimates could result in an impairment charge
related to capitalized software costs.
Impairment of long-lived
assets
The
Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss
when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the
carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the
difference between the asset's estimated fair value and its book
value.
Warrant
Liability
The
Company issued warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock in connection
securities purchase agreements dated March 30, 2007, March 31, 2008 and January
14, 2009 which contain certain anti-dilution provisions that reduce the exercise
price of the warrants. See Note 8 – Equity - Common Stock
Warrants.
Upon the
Company’s adoption of the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC 815”) on January 1, 2009, the Company
determined that the warrants with provisions that reduce the exercise price of
the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were
determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed by ASC
815. On January 1, 2009, the warrants, under ASC 815, were
reclassified from equity to warrant liability for the then relative fair market
value of $678,891.

Revenue
recognition
We follow
the guidance of the Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue
recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has
occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured.
InsPro
Technologies offers InsPro on a licensed and an application service provider
(“ASP”) basis. An InsPro software license entitles the purchaser a
perpetual license to a copy of the InsPro software installed at a single client
location. Alternatively, ASP hosting service enables a client to
lease the InsPro software, paying only for that capacity required to support
their business. ASP clients access InsPro installed on InsPro
Technologies owned servers located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a third
party’s site.
InsPro
Technologies’ software maintenance fees apply to both licensed and ASP
clients. Maintenance fees cover periodic updates to the application
and the InsPro help desk.
InsPro
Technologies’ consulting and implementation services are generally associated
with the implementation of an InsPro instance for either an ASP or licensed
client, and cover such activity as InsPro installation, configuration,
modification of InsPro functionality, client insurance plan set-up, client
insurance document design and system documentation.
InsPro
Technologies revenue is generally recognized under ASC
985-605. For software arrangements involving multiple elements,
the Company allocates revenue to each element based on the relative fair value
or the residual method, as applicable using vendor specific objective evidence
to determine fair value, which is based on prices charged when the element is
sold separately. Software revenue accounted for under ASC 985-605 is recognized
when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software is delivered in
accordance with all terms and conditions of the customer contracts, the fee is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenue related
to post-contract customer support (“PCS”), including technical support and
unspecified when-and-if available software upgrades, is recognized ratably over
the PCS term. Under ASC 985-605, if fair value does not exist
for any undelivered element, revenue is not recognized until the earlier of
(i) delivery of such element or (ii) when fair value of the
undelivered element is established, unless the undelivered element is a service,
in which case revenue is recognized as the service is performed once the service
is the only undelivered element.

Insurint
Corporation offers Insurint™, which is a proprietary, professional-grade,
web-based agent portal that aggregates real-time quotes and underwriting
information from multiple highly-rated carriers of health and life insurance and
related products. Insurint typically charges its clients a one time
account set up fee, which is recognized as earned when collected and the service
has been provided, and recurring access fees, which are typically monthly in
frequency and are recognized as the service is provided.
The
Company recognizes revenue from software license agreements when persuasive
evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee
is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company
considers fees relating to arrangements with payment terms extending beyond one
year to not be fixed or determinable and revenue for these arrangements is
recognized as payments become due from the customer. In software
arrangements that include more than one InsPro module, the Company allocates the
total arrangement fee among the modules based on the relative fair value of each
of the modules.
License
revenue allocated to software products generally is recognized upon delivery of
the products or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an
arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and
for which fair values have not been established. Revenue allocated to
maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the maintenance term and
revenue allocated to training and other service elements is recognized as the
services are performed.
The
unearned portion of InsPro Technologies’ and Insurint’s revenue, which is
revenue collected or billed but not yet recognized as earned, has been included

Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock based compensation transactions using a
fair-value-based method and recognizes compensation cost for share-based
payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of
the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first
applied.
Non-employee stock based
compensation
The cost
of stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are
recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments
issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable,
based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in
which the recognition provisions are first applied.
Registration rights
agreements
The
Company classifies as liability instruments the fair value of registration
rights agreements when such agreements (i) require it to file, and cause to be
declared effective under the Securities Act, a registration statement with the
Commission within contractually fixed time periods, and (ii) provide for the
payment of liquidating damages in the event of its failure to comply with such
agreements. Registration rights with these characteristics are accounted for as
derivative financial instruments at fair value and (ii) contracts that are (a)
indexed to and potentially settled in an issuer's own stock and (b) permit gross
physical or net share settlement with no net cash settlement alternative are
classified as equity instruments.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company does not believe that it is probable that the
Company will incur a penalty in connection with registration rights agreements,
which we entered into in connection with the 2008 and 2009 private
placements. Accordingly no liability was recorded as of December 31,
2009.
Recent accounting
pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures Topic of the Codification. This guidance defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In
February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of this guidance for one
year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for those
items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements
on a recurring basis (at least annually). We adopted the guidance
effective January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and
liabilities. As of January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance for all
non-financial assets and all non-financial liabilities. There is no
impact on our financial statements as of December 31, 2009. In
December 2007, the FASB issued guidance in the Business Combinations Topic of
the Codification. This guidance requires the acquiring entity in a
business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at
their respective acquisition-date fair values including contingent
consideration. In addition, this guidance changes the recognition of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from preacquisition
contingencies and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as
incurred. The guidance applies prospectively to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We
adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. Any impact would be

In
December 2007, the FASB issued guidance in the Consolidation Topic of the
Codification on the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated
financial statements. This guidance clarifies the classification of
noncontrolling interests in consolidated statements of financial position and
the accounting for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity
and holders of such noncontrolling interests. This guidance is
effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins on or
after December 15, 2008 and is required to be adopted prospectively, except for
the reclassification of noncontrolling interests to equity and the recasting of
net income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling
interests, which are required to be adopted retrospectively. We
adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. There is no impact
on our financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
In April
2008, the FASB issued guidance in the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of
the Codification on the determination of the useful life of an intangible
asset. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this
guidance effective January 1, 2009. There is no impact on our
financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
In June
2008, FASB issued guidance in the Earnings Per Share Topic of the Codification
on determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions
are participating securities. The guidance clarified that all
unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to
dividends are participating securities and provides guidance on how to compute
basic EPS under the two-class method. The guidance is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this
guidance effective January 1, 2009 and it had no impact on our financial
statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Topic of the Codification on determining fair value when the volume and level of
activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying
transactions that are not orderly. The guidance emphasizes that even
if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity,
the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair
value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or
distressed sale) between market participants. The guidance provides a
number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or
liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when
transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those
prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine
the appropriate fair value. The guidance is effective for interim or
annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied
prospectively. We adopted this guidance effective for the quarter
ending June 30, 2009. There is no impact of the adoption on our
financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
In April
2009, FASB issued guidance in the Financial Instruments Topic of the
Codification on interim disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments. The guidance requires disclosures about the fair value
of financial instruments for both interim reporting periods, as well as annual
reporting periods. The guidance is effective for all interim and
annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied
prospectively. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our
financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
In May
2009, FASB issued guidance in the Subsequent Events Topic of the
Codification. The guidance is intended to establish general standards
of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued. It requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events
and the basis for that date. The guidance is effective for interim or annual
financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is required to be adopted
prospectively. We adopted this guidance effective for the quarter
ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on
our financial statements as of December 31, 2009, other than the additional

financial statements with, or furnish them to, the SEC from disclosing the date
through which subsequent events procedures have been performed and
(2) clarifies the circumstances in which an entity’s financial statements
would be considered restated and in which the entity would therefore be required

NOTE 2 –
DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
During
the first quarter of 2009, the Company ceased the direct marketing and sale of
health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families in
its Telesales call center. The Company also determined to discontinue
selling health and life insurance and related products to individuals and
families through its non employee ISG agents. During the first
quarter of 2009 the Company’s Telesales business segment eliminated 43 positions
including all of its licensed employee sales agents along with other Telesales
service and support personnel and eliminated another 20 positions in Telesales
through attrition.
On
February 20, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into and completed
the sale of the Company’s Telesales call center produced agency business (the
“Agency Business”) to eHealth Insurance Services, Inc. (“eHealth”), an
unaffiliated third party, pursuant to the terms of a Client Transition Agreement
(the “Agreement”).
Pursuant
to the Agreement the Company transferred to eHealth the broker of record status
and the right to receive commissions on certain of the in-force individual and
family major medial health insurance policies and ancillary dental, life and
vision insurance policies issued by Aetna, Inc., Golden Rule, Humana,
PacifiCare, Inc., Assurant and United Healthcare Insurance Co. (collectively,
the “Specified Carriers”) on which the Company was designated as broker of
record as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Transferred Policies” and
each, a “Transferred Policy”). Certain policies and products were
excluded from the transaction, including the Company’s agency business generated
through its ISG agents, all short term medical products and all business
produced through carriers other than the Specified Carriers. In
addition, the Agreement also provides for the transfer to eHealth of certain
lead information relating to health insurance prospects (the “Lead
Database”).

The
aggregate initial amount of consideration paid by eHealth to the Company
pursuant to the Agreement during the first quarter of 2009 was approximately
$1,280,000. In addition, on the Closing Date, eHealth agreed to
assume from the Company certain liabilities relating to historical commission
advances on the Transferred Policies made by the Specified Carriers in an
aggregate amount of approximately $1,385,000. In addition, eHealth
has agreed to pay to HBDC II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (“HBDC II”) a portion of each commission payment
received by eHealth and reported by the Specified Carrier relating to a
Transferred Policy for the duration of the policy, provided that eHealth remains
broker of record on such Transferred Policy.
Simultaneous
with the execution of the Agreement, the Company and eHealth also entered into a
Marketing and Referral Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2009 (the “Referral
Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Referral Agreement, eHealth
agreed to construct one or more websites for the purpose of selling health
insurance products (the “Referral Sites”) and to pay to HBDC II a portion of all
first year and renewal commissions received by eHealth from policies sold
through the Referral Sites that result from marketing to prospects using the
Lead Database or other leads delivered by the Company to eHealth. The
Referral Agreement is scheduled to terminate 18 months following the Closing
Date and is terminable by the Company or eHealth upon material breach by the
other party.
Revenue Recognition for
Discontinued Operations
Our
Telesales business segment generates revenue primarily from the receipt of
commissions paid to the Company by insurance companies based upon the insurance
policies sold to consumers by the Company. These revenues are in the
form of first year, bonus and renewal commissions that vary by company and
product. We recognize commission revenue primarily from the sale of
health insurance, after we receive notice that the insurance company has
received payment of the related premium. First year commission revenues per
policy can fluctuate due to changing premiums, commission rates, and types or
amount of insurance sold. Insurance premium commission revenues are
recognized pro-rata over the terms of the policies. Revenues for
renewal commissions are recognized after we receive notice that the insurance
company has received payment for a renewal premium. Renewal commission rates are
significantly less than first year commission rates and may not be offered by
every insurance company or with respect to certain types of
products. The unearned portion of premium commissions has been
included in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability for unearned
commission advances.
The
length of time between when we submit a consumer's application for insurance to
an insurance company and when we recognize revenue varies. The type of insurance
product, the insurance company’s premium billing and collection process, and the
insurance company's underwriting backlog are the primary factors that impact the
length of time between submitted applications and revenue recognition. Any
changes in the amount of time between submitted application and revenue
recognition, which are influenced by many factors not under our control, create
fluctuations in our operating results and could affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.
The
Company received bonuses based upon individual criteria set by insurance
companies, which we recognize when we receive notification from the insurance
company of the bonus due to us.
The
Company receives fees for the placement and issuance of insurance policies that
are in addition to, and separate from, any sales commissions paid by insurance
companies. As these policy fees are not refundable and the Company has no
continuing obligation, all such revenues are recognized on the effective date of
the policies or, in certain cases, the billing date, whichever is
later.
During
the first quarter of 2009 the Company recognized a gain upon the execution of
the Agreement of $2,664,794, which is the sum of the aggregate initial amount of
consideration paid by eHealth to the Company and eHealth’s assumption of certain
liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the Transferred
Policies.

The
Company recognizes as revenue commission payments received from eHealth in
connection with the Agreement upon the Company’s notification by eHealth of such

The
Company generated revenue from the sale of leads to third parties. Such revenues
are recognized when the Company delivers the leads and bills the purchaser of
the leads.
The
Company also generated revenue from the sub-lease of our leased New York City
office and a portion of our leased Deerfield Beach Florida office, which are
both leased under operating leases. The terms of the Company’s
sub-lease of our New York City office is under similar terms as our
lease. The Company sub-leases portions of our Deerfield Beach office
to two unaffiliated parties through January 31, 2010. Sub-lease
revenue includes base rent, additional rent representing a portion of occupancy
expenses under the terms of the sub-leases and certain technology and facility
services provided. We recognize sub-lease revenue when lease rent payments are
due in accordance with the sub-lease agreements. Recognition of
sub-lease revenue commences when control of the facility has been given to the
tenant. We record a provision for losses on accounts receivable equal to the
estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on our historical
experience and a review of the current status of the Company's
receivables.
Impairment of Long Lived
Assets
During
the first quarter of 2009 we determined certain long term assets were impaired
as a result of the cessation of direct marketing and sales in the Telesales call
center. The Company recorded expense in 2009 to write-off the value
of these long term assets in the results from discontinued operations, which
included property and equipment net of depreciation of $416,764, intangible
assets net of accumulated amortization acquired from ISG of $1,200,428 and the
value of internet domain name www.healthbenefitsdirect.com
net of accumulated amortization of $22,389.
On July
1, 2009 the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party,
effective July 15, 2009 which terminated an existing sub-lease agreement for
approximately 8,000 square feet of the Company’s Deerfield Beach office and
replaced it with a sub-lease agreement for approximately 29,952 square
feet. This new sub-lease terminates on February 28,
2011. As part of the sub-lease agreement, the Company also agreed to
lease certain personal property to the sub-lessee for the term of the
lease. The sub-lessee agreed to pay the Company 20 monthly
payments of $10,890 for such personal property and the Company has agreed to
deliver to the sub-lessee a bill of sale for the leased personal property at the
end of the term. The Company has accounted for this personal property
sub-lease arrangement as a sale and recorded a gain of $217,601.
The
Company recorded a liability for severance payments due to employees of
discontinued operations of $0 and $266,739 at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

- ACQUISITION OF
INSPRO TECHNOLOGIES
On
October 1, 2007, HBDC Acquisition, LLC (“HBDC Sub”), a Delaware limited
liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an
Agreement to Transfer Partnership Interests (the “Bilenia Agreement”) with the
former partners (the “Bilenia Partners”) of BileniaTech, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (“Bilenia”), whereby HBDC Sub purchased all of the
outstanding general and limited partnership interests of Atiam Technologies,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, owned by the Bilenia
Partners. Bilenia owned approximately 40% of Atiam Technologies,
L.P. The execution of the Bilenia Agreement and the transfer of the
Atiam partnership interests to HBDC Sub there under were conditions precedent to
the closing of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) on October 1, 2007
(the “Closing Date”).
The
aggregate amount paid by HBDC Sub to the Bilenia Partners for the Atiam
partnership interests under the Bilenia Agreement was $1,000,000, consisting of
$500,000 in cash and 224,216 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares
had an aggregate value of $500,000 based on the average closing price per share
($2.23) of Company Common Stock on The Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”)
on the five consecutive trading days preceding the Closing Date.
On
September 21, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the “Atiam Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, HBDC, System Consulting
Associates, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“SCA”), and the shareholders of
SCA party thereto (the “Shareholders”). SCA owned approximately 60%
of Atiam Technologies, L.P. The Company and SCA closed on the Merger
on October 1, 2007.
The Atiam
Merger Agreement provided for a business combination whereby SCA would be merged
with and into HBDC Sub, with HBDC Sub continuing as the surviving corporation
and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Atiam Merger”). The
aggregate amount paid by the Company with respect to all outstanding shares of
capital stock of SCA (such amount, the “Atiam Merger Consideration”) was
$2,000,000, consisting of (a) $850,000 in cash and (b) 515,697 unregistered
shares of the Company’s common stock, which number of shares had a value of
$1,150,000 based on the average closing price per share ($2.23) of Common Stock
on OTCBB on the five consecutive trading days preceding the closing date. Upon
the effectiveness of the Atiam Merger, each share of SCA Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the closing date was converted into the right
to receive a pro rata portion of the Atiam Merger Consideration. The
Company placed certificates representing 134,529 shares, or an amount equal to
$300,000, of the Company’s common stock that otherwise would be payable to the
Shareholders as Atiam Merger Consideration into an escrow account, which shares
will be held in escrow for a period of one year to satisfy any indemnification
claims by the Company or HBDC Sub under the Atiam Merger Agreement.
Through
October 1, 2007, SCA operated through Atiam Technologies,
L.P. Subsequent to October 1, 2007, SCA was merged into HBDC Sub,
which was subsequently renamed Atiam Technologies, LLC in 2007 and subsequently
renamed InsPro Technologies, LLC in 2009 and operates as the Company’s InsPro
Technologies business. The results of InsPro Technologies have been
included in the Company’s statement of operations as of October 1,
2007. InsPro Technologies is a provider of comprehensive, web-based
insurance administration software applications that support individual insurance
products.

The
Preferred Stock is entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the
Company’s common stock, with each Share of Preferred Stock having the right to
20 votes. Upon the liquidation, sale or merger of the Company, each
Share of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount equal to the greater
of (A) a liquidation preference equal to two and a half (2.5) times the
Preferred Stock original issue price or $10,000,000, subject to certain
customary adjustments, or (B) the amount such Share of Preferred Stock would
receive if it participated pari passu with the holders of
common stock on an as-converted basis. Each Share of Preferred Stock
becomes convertible into 20 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), subject to
adjustment and at the option of the holder of the Preferred Stock, immediately
after shareholder approval of the Charter Amendment (as defined
below). For so long as any shares of Preferred Stocks are
outstanding, the vote or consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds of the
Preferred Stock is required to approve (Y) any amendment to the Company’s
certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would adversely alter the voting
powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Stock or (Z) any
amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to create any shares of
capital stock that rank senior to the Preferred Stock. In addition to
the voting rights described above, for so long as 1,000,000 Shares of Preferred
Stocks are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the Shares of Preferred Stock is required to effect or validate
any merger, sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other
fundamental transaction, unless such transaction, when consummated, will provide
the holders of Preferred Stock with an amount per share equal to two and a half
(2.5) times the Preferred Stock original issue price or $10,000,000 in aggregate
for all issued and outstanding Preferred Stock.
The
Company was required, under the terms of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, to file a
proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) and hold a special meeting of the
Company’s shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) within 75 days of the effective
date of the 2009 Purchase Agreement for the purpose of approving a certificate
of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the total
number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 90,000,000 to
200,000,000 (the “Charter Amendment”). Under the terms of the 2009
Purchase Agreement, Co-Investment agreed to vote all Preferred Shares and shares
of common stock beneficially owned by it in favor of the Charter Amendment at
the Special Meeting. The Company filed a Proxy Statement and on March 25, 2009
held a Special Meeting of shareholders whereby shareholders voted and approved
the Charter Amendment.
The
Company also agreed, pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, that,
except for the Follow-on Financing, for a period of 90 days after the effective
date (the “Initial Standstill”) of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, the Company
shall not, subject to certain exceptions, offer, sell, grant any option to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of any equity securities or equity equivalent
securities, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights,
options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or
exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, capital
stock and other securities of the Company (any such issuance, offer, sale,
grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent
Placement”). Additionally, the Company has agreed with Co-Investment
that, for an additional 90 day period following the Initial Standstill, it shall
not engage in any Subsequent Placement without the prior written consent of
Co-Investment, if such Subsequent Placement seeks to raise less than $15
million.
The 2009
Purchase Agreement also provides for a customary participation right for
Co-Investment, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, which grants
Co-Investment the right to participate in any future capital raising financings

The
Company allocated the $4,000,000 proceeds received from the 2009 Private
Placement net of $55,617 of costs incurred to complete 2009 Private Placement to
the Preferred Shares and 2009 Warrants based on their relative fair values,
which were determined to have a fair value in aggregate of
$3,758,306. The Company determined the 2009 Warrants are properly
classified as an equity instrument. The Company recorded the value of
the Preferred Shares as $1,983,984 and the value of the 2009 Warrants as
$1,960,399 in additional paid in capital. The Company determined the
fair value of the Preferred Shares to be $1,900,000 based on the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on January 15, 2009 and the 20 to 1 conversion
ratio of the Preferred Shares into Common Shares. The Company determined the
fair value of the 2009 Warrants to be $1,877,412 using a Black-Scholes option

2008
On March
31, 2008, the board of directors of the Company adopted the Company's 2008
Equity Compensation Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which plan was not subject to
shareholder approval. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock was reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan in addition
to any authorized and unissued shares of common stock available for issuance
under the Company's 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan. The
purpose of the 2008 Plan is to provide a comprehensive compensation program to
attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors. The
Company is authorized to award cash fees and issue non-qualified stock options
under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of
directors or the compensation committee established by the board.
Effective
October 2, 2008, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the
2008 Plan to (i) permit the grant of incentive stock options, (ii) provide our
compensation committee with the flexibility to make grants that qualify as
“qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (iii) reflect the
merger of the Health Benefits Direct Corporation 2006 Omnibus Equity
Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) with and into the 2008 Plan, (iv) amend the
adjustment provision to make clarifying changes and (v) specify the maximum
number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2008 Plan.
The 2008
Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that
may be made with respect to grants, other than dividend equivalents, to any
individual during any calendar year is 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment
as described below. Grantees may not accrue dividend equivalents during any
calendar year in excess of $1,000,000.
On
March 31, 2008, the Board approved the grant of 550,000 incentive stock
options to Alvin H. Clemens, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and
current Co-Chairman, under the Health Benefits Direct Corporation 2006 Plan, in
consideration of Mr. Clemens’ resignation as Chief Executive Officer and
the termination of his existing Amended and Restated Employment Agreement,
effective on April 1, 2008. This option has a term of ten years,
an exercise per share of $1.01 and will vest as follows: 300,000 shares on April
1, 2008; 20,833 on the first calendar day of each month from May 1, 2008 through
March 1, 2009 and 20,837 shares on April 1, 2009. The Company
recorded the entire fair value of this option as compensation expense as of June
30, 2008.
Also
during 2008, the Company issued options under the 2006 Plan and 2008 Plan in
aggregate to purchase 35,000 shares of Common Stock to employees at a weighted
average option exercise price of $0.72. These options will vest one

price of $3.00 per share to the participating investors in the 2007 Private
Placement, which provides that the holder thereof shall have the right, at any

the exercise price (“2007 Investor Warrants”). The Company also has
the right, at any point after which the volume weighted average trading price
per share of the Common Stock for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days is
equal to at least two times the Exercise Price per share, provided that certain
other conditions have been satisfied to call the outstanding 2007 Investor
Warrants (a “Call Event”), in which case such 2007 Investor Warrants will expire
if not exercised within ten business days thereafter. The 2007
Investor Warrants also include a cashless exercise and weighted average
anti-dilution adjustment provisions for issuances of securities below the
exercise price during the first two years following the date of issuance of the
warrants, subject to customary exceptions.
Also in

lease term with respect to 5,238 square feet and for the first twelve months for
the remaining 2,176 square feet. The Company recorded a liability for
deferred rent in the amount of $135,028 as of December 31, 2009.
The
Company paid to the Landlord a security deposit of $110,000 under the lease (the
“Security Deposit”) during the third quarter of 2006, which is accounted for as
a deposit in other assets. The Company will not earn interest on the
Security Deposit. The Security Deposit will decrease and the Landlord
will return to the Company $10,000 on the third anniversary of the commencement
date of the lease and on each anniversary thereafter until the required Security
Deposit has been reduced to $20,000. The Security Deposit will be
returned to the Company 30 days after the end of the lease provided the Company
has complied with all provisions of the lease.
Effective
during the first quarter of 2007, the letters of credit pertaining to the lease
for our Florida office and our New York office were collateralized in the form
of a money market account. Effective February 12, 2009 the money
market account, which collateralized the letter of credit pertaining to our New
York Office, was transferred into a certificate of deposit
(“CD”). These bank deposits are on deposit with the issuer of the
letters of credit and are classified as restricted cash on the Company’s balance
sheet, which as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 had a balances of
$1,154,044 and $1,150,000, respectively. The terms of the money
market account allow the Company to receive interest on the principal but
prohibits the Company from withdrawing the principal for the life of the
Deerfield Beach letter of credit. The terms of the CD allow the Company to
receive interest upon the maturity of the CD, which matures on March 12,
2010. The Company is prohibited from withdrawing the interest on the
CD until the March 12, 2010 maturity of the CD and the CD’s principal for the
life of the New York letter of credit.

Litigation
On August
28, 2008, one of our former employees, the plaintiff, filed a national class
action complaint in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Broward County,
case no. 062008 CA 042798 XXX CE, alleging that we breached a contract with
employees by failing to provide certain commissions and/or bonuses. The
complaint also contained claims for an accounting and for declaratory relief
relating to the alleged compensation agreement. The plaintiff purported to
bring these claims on behalf of a class of current and former insurance sales
agents. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In response, at
the hearing on our Motion to Dismiss, the plaintiff stated that he would amend
the complaint. The amended complaint is no longer pled as a class action
but, instead, includes 64 named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek payment
from us of all commissions allegedly owed to them, triple damages, attorneys’
fees, costs, and interest. We are in the process of responding to the
amended complaint. In addition, the parties are engaging in the exchange
of discovery requests and responses. We believe that the plaintiffs’
claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the
litigation.
On March
24, 2009, certain of our stockholders filed an action in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 650174/2009, against us,
our board of directors, two of our investors and the investors’ affiliates
relating to alleged offers we purportedly received in 2008 and a private
placement transaction conducted in January 2009. The plaintiffs alleged that the
members of our board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in responding
to the offers received in 2008 and in connection with the private placement
transaction conducted in January 2009. The complaint also contained claims for
unjust enrichment against certain directors whom plaintiffs claim are
“interested” and claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and
unjust enrichment against our stockholder, Cross Atlantic Capital Partners,
Inc., and its affiliates. The plaintiffs sought to rescind and cancel the
private placement, enjoin the board of directors from undertaking certain
measures and remove certain directors from the board. The plaintiffs also sought
money judgments in an amount not less than $10,000,000, plus interest,
attorneys’ fees, and accounts and experts’ fees. On May 29, 2009, the defendants
moved to dismiss the complaint. The motion was granted on August 13, 2009 on
forum non conveniens grounds. On August 14, 2009, a writ of summons was filed in
the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County No. 090801764 against us, our
board of directors, two of our investors and the investors’ affiliates by the
same stockholders who brought the New York action and seven additional
stockholders.
On
October 27, 2009 we entered into an agreement with the stockholders who brought
the New York action in which they agreed to withdraw from the Philadelphia
litigation and provided a general release of all claims against us, our board of
directors and the other defendants. These stockholders discontinued their claims
against the defendants in the writ of summons filed in August. The
terms of this settlement agreement required Co-Investment Fund to purchase all
of the shares of common stock held by the settling plaintiffs (which amounted to
6,108,997 shares).
On
December 21, 2009, five of the remaining shareholders who filed the writ of
summons discontinued their claims against the defendants named in the writ of
summons. Also on December 21, 2009, Alvin Clemens, a former officer and
director of our company, Robert Kaul and Arthur Nagel (both of whom are
shareholders of our company) filed a complaint in the Philadelphia action. The
complaint brought claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the members of our
board of directors for their alleged actions in responding to the offers
received in 2008 and in connection with the private placement transaction
conducted in January 2009. The complaint also contained claims for aiding and
abetting the alleged breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against our
stockholder, Cross Atlantic Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The
plaintiffs sought to rescind and cancel the private placement, enjoin the board
of directors from undertaking certain measures and remove certain directors from
the board. The plaintiffs also sought money judgment against our board members
in an amount in excess of $50,000 and against Cross Atlantic and its affiliates
in an amount in excess of $10,000,000, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and
accounts and experts’ fees. Defendants filed preliminary objections
to the complaint on January 11, 2010, arguing that the claims should be
dismissed and/or venue should be in Delaware County and not in Philadelphia
County. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 1, 2010 but then
discontinued and ended their complaint on February 22,
2010.

Guarantee of Indebtedness by
the Company to Third Parties Pertaining to Unearned Commission Advances Paid to
Non-employee ISG Agents
The
Company is a party to sales and marketing agreements whereby the Company has
guaranteed the repayment of unearned commission advances paid directly from
third parties including certain of the Company’s insurance carriers to the
Company’s non-employee ISG agents. Under these agreements certain third parties
pay commissions directly to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents and such
payments include advances of first year premium commissions before the
commissions are earned. Unearned commission advances from the Company’s
insurance carriers to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents are earned after the
insurance company has received payment of the related premium. In the event that
the insurance company does not receive payment of the related premium pertaining
to an unearned commission advance the third parties generally deduct the
unearned commission advance from its commission payments to the Company’s
non-employee ISG agents in the form of charge-backs. In the event that
commission payments from these third parties to the Company’s non-employee ISG
agents do not exceed the charge-backs these third parties may deduct the
unearned commission advance to non-employee ISG agents from their payments to
the Company or demand repayment of the non-employee ISG agents’ unearned
commission balance from the Company. The current amount of the unearned
commission advances these third parties to the Company’s non-employee ISG
agents, which is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company
could be required to make to these third parties, is estimated to be
approximately $643,000 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009 the
Company has recorded a liability of $33,070 in accrued expenses in liabilities
of discontinued operations for the estimated amount the Company anticipates it
will pay pertaining to these guarantees. Unearned commission advances from these
third parties are collateralized by the future commission payments to the
non-employee ISG agents and to the Company. The Company has recourse against
certain non-employee ISG agents in the event the Company must pay the unearned
commission advances.
License Agreement with
Realtime Solutions Group
On May
31, 2006, the Company entered into a Software and Services Agreement (the
“License Agreement”) with Realtime Solutions Group, L.L.C. (“Realtime”), under
which Realtime granted the Company a worldwide, transferable, non-exclusive,
perpetual and irrevocable license to use, display, copy, modify, enhance, create
derivate works within, and access Realtime Solutions Group’s Straight Through
Processing software (“STP”) and all associated documentation, source code and
object code, for use in the marketing, promotion and sale of health benefits or
insurance products.
As
consideration for the grant of the rights and licenses under the License
Agreement, the Company paid to Realtime a $10,000 nonrefundable cash deposit and
upon delivery of the STP software and other materials the Company will pay a
license fee in the form of 216,612 unregistered shares of our common
stock. Concurrent with entering into the License Agreement, HBDC and
Realtime entered into a Registration Rights Agreement that provides for
piggyback registration rights for the to be issued shares.
The
Company may unilaterally terminate the License Agreement, with or without cause,
at any time on 30 calendar day prior written notice to Realtime. The license
rights in the software granted under the License Agreement survive any
termination of the License Agreement in perpetuity.
As of

INCOME
TAXES
The
Company has net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of
approximately $31,000,000 at December 31, 2009, the unused portion of which, if
any, expires in years 2025 through 2029. The Company accounts for income taxes
under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes “ASC 740”. ASC 740
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the
expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally
requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of
realization of deferred tax assets. Internal Revenue Code Section 382
“IRC 382” places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset
by carry forwards after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change
in ownership). The issuance of the Company’s Series A convertible
preferred stock on January 15, 2009 resulted in a change of control as defined
under IRC 382.

re-evaluated its 2008 deferred tax assets and reduced such amounts as well as
the corresponding valuation allowance by $1,958,944. The adjustments
had no effect on the Company’s financial position or net income (loss) for the
year ended December 31, 2008. The Company believes they will be able
to utilize deferred tax assets equal to the total deferred tax
liabilities. The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset in
excess of the deferred tax liabilities due to the substantial uncertainty of the
realization of any tax assets in future periods. The valuation allowance was
increased by $1,757,307 from the prior year.

Warrants
On March
30, 2010, warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at
an exercise price of $2.80 per share expired in accordance with the terms of the
warrants.
Rights Offering - Issuance of Preferred
Stock and Warrants
On
January 14, 2010 the Company filed a prospectus for a rights offering on form
S-1/A, which the Commission declared effective on January 22, 2010, to
distribute to shareholders at no charge, one non-transferable subscription right
for each 12,256 shares of our common stock and 613 shares of our preferred stock
owned as of January 1, 2010, the record date, either as a holder of record or,
in the case of shares held of record by brokers, dealers, custodian banks, or
other nominees on shareholders’ behalf, as a beneficial owner of such
shares. If the rights offering was fully subscribed the gross
proceeds from the rights offering would have been $5 million. This rights
offering was designed to give all of the holders of the Company’s common stock
the opportunity to participate in an equity investment in the Company on the
same economic terms as the 2009 Private Placement.
The basic
subscription right entitled the holder to purchase one unit (“Subscription
Unit”) at a subscription price of $1,000. A Subscription Unit consisted of 250
shares of Preferred Stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. In the event
that a holder of a Subscription Unit purchased all of the basic Subscription
Units available to the holder then pursuant to their basic subscription right,
the holder had the option to choose to subscribe for a portion of any
Subscription Units that were not purchased by all other holders of Subscription
Units through the exercise of their basic subscription rights.
Effective
with the expiration of the subscription rights, which occurred on March 26,
2010, holders of subscription rights exercised in aggregate 1,061 basic
subscription rights and 46 over subscription rights for a total 1,107
Subscription Units. The Company received $1,107,000 in gross proceeds
as a result of the exercise of Subscription Units. As a result of the
exercise of 1,107 Subscription Units the Company issued effective on March 26,
2010 in aggregate 276,750 shares of Preferred Stock and five-year warrants to
purchase in aggregate 5,535,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.20 per share. Effective with the expiration of the subscription rights all
unexercised subscription rights expired.
Sale of
Insurint
On March
31, 2010, the Company entered into and completed an asset purchase agreement of
sale for Insurint (“Insurint Sale Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third
party. Pursuant to the terms of the Insurint Sale Agreement the
Company sold essentially all assets used in the Company’s Insurint’s business
including the Insurint software, www.insurint.com web site, other intellectual
property specific to Insurint including but not limited to the customer base and

9A(T). CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the Company. Under the
supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our
management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on that assessment, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that there was a
material weakness affecting our internal control over financial reporting and,
as a result of this weakness, our internal controls and procedures were not
effective as of December 31, 2009.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting.
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s
internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable
assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and is accumulated and communicated to management, including
the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or person
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required recording and disclosure.
A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The
design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.
As of
December 31, 2009 management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for
effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal
Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this
assessment, we have determined that there was a material weakness affecting our
internal control over financial reporting and, as a result of that weakness, our
internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31,
2009. The material weakness is as follows:
We did
not maintain effective controls over financial reporting to ensure timely and
accurate recognition and disclosure of the Company’s warrant liability and the
gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability in 2009. The Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting failed to timely determine that
certain warrants issued by the Company with provisions that reduce the exercise
price of certain warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as
they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed by
ASC 815. This determination was made as a result of input from the
Company’s external auditors in connection with their audit of the Company’s
financial statements. Due to the (1) materiality of the warrant
liability and gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability and (2)
the failure of the Company’s internal controls over financial to timely identify
that certain warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815, we
determined that this control deficiency resulted in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected.
28
Management’s
Remediation Actions
In 2009,
Management implemented procedures to evaluate whether any or all of the
Company’s warrants continued to qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815,
identify those warrants that no longer qualify for a scope exception under ASC
815 based on the determination that such warrants were not indexed to the
Company’s stock as prescribed by ASC 815, valuation of warrant liability based
on fair value and determination of the gain on the change in fair value of the
warrant liability, determine the accurate recording and appropriate disclosure
of warrant liability and gain on the change in fair value of the warrant
liability.
As a
result of the implementation of the above procedures, Management has concluded
that the material weakness described above has been remediated as of March 29,
2010.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting.
Except as
noted above, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal year to which this
report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

directors as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ listing standards and as
defined by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) promulgated by the Commission.
Board
Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
The role
of chief executive officer and chairman of the board are separate positions. We
believe it is the chief executive officer’s responsibility to oversee the
Company’s operations and the chairman’s responsibility to coordinate the
appropriate functioning of the board. As directors continue to
have more oversight responsibilities than ever before, we believe it is
beneficial to have a chairman whose sole role with the Company is leading the
board.
Mr.
Caldwell is primarily responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management
processes on behalf of the full board. Mr. Caldwell receives reports from
management at least quarterly regarding the Company’s assessment of risks. In
addition, Mr. Caldwell is also Chairman of the Audit Committee and together with
the other members of the Audit Committee meets with management to discuss the
Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, the
Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to
monitor and mitigate these exposures. Mr. Caldwell reports regularly to the full
board of directors, which also considers the Company’s risk factors. While the
board oversees the Company’s risk management, company management is responsible
for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of
responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing
our Company and that our board leadership structure supports this
approach.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
We
adopted an amended and restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on January
29, 2008. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, in accordance with Section
406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 406 of Regulation S-K, applies
globally to our corporate directors, executive officers, senior financial
officers, and other employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate
reporting, and compliance with laws as well as other matters. A
printed copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be obtained free of
charge by writing to us at Health Benefits Direct Corporation, 150 N.
Radnor-Chester Road, Suite B-101, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087.

Corporate
Governance and Committees
Our board of directors currently is
composed of Messrs. Caldwell, Harrison, Musser, Oakes, Rich, Rowell, Soltoff,
Tecce, Verdi and Waters. Mr. Caldwell is the Chairman of our board of
directors. Directors serve until
the next annual meeting of stockholders, until their successors are elected or
appointed or qualified, or until their prior resignation or
removal. Our executive officers are appointed by, and serve at the
discretion of, our board of directors. Our board of directors has
established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and
governance committee. Pursuant to our bylaws, our board of directors may from
time to time establish other committees to facilitate the management of our
business and operations.
Audit
Committee
The
members of our audit committee are Messrs. Caldwell, Rich and Rowell. Mr.
Caldwell became chairman of the committee effective upon his appointment to the
board on April 1, 2008. Our board of directors has determined that
Mr. Caldwell is an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined
in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Although our common stock is not listed on NASDAQ and, as
a result, we are not subject to NASDAQ’s listing standards, we voluntarily
strive to comply with such standards. Our board of directors, in
applying the above-referenced standards, has affirmatively determined that each
of Messrs. Rich and Rowell are “independent”.
Compensation
Committee
The
members of our compensation committee are Messrs. Harrison, Rich and Tecce. Mr.
Harrison chairs the committee.
Nominating
and Governance Committee
The
members of our nominating and governance committee are Messrs. Rowell, Harrison
and Soltoff. Mr. Rowell chairs the committee. This Committee is
responsible for recommending qualified candidates to the board of directors for
election as directors, including the slate of directors that the Board proposes
for election by stockholders at Annual Meetings. While the Committee
does not have a formal diversity “policy,” the Committee recommends candidates
based upon many factors, including the diversity of their business or
professional experience, the diversity of their background and their array of
talents and perspectives. We believe that the Committee’s existing
nominations process is designed to identify the best possible nominees for the
Board, regardless of the nominee’s gender, racial background, religion, or
ethnicity. The Committee identifies candidates through a variety of
means, including recommendations from members of the Board and suggestions from
our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. In addition, the Committee considers candidates recommended
by third parties, including stockholders. Stockholders wishing to recommend
director candidates for consideration by the Committee may do so by writing our
Secretary and giving the recommended candidate’s name, biographical data and
qualifications.
The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a formal charter
adopted by the Board that governs its duties and standards of
performance. Copies of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee charter can be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company at
the address appearing on the first page of this proxy statement to the attention
of the Secretary.
SECTION
16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive
officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to
file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of our
common stock and any other equity securities with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Executive officers, directors, and persons who own more than 10% of
our common stock are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations
to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
33
Based solely on our review of the
copies of Forms 3, 4, and 5 furnished to us, or representations from certain
reporting persons that no Forms 3, 4 or 5 were required to be filed by such
persons, we believe that all of our executive officers, directors, and persons
who own more than ten percent of our common stock complied with all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to them during 2009, with the exception of
Messrs. Caldwell, Harrison, Musser, Rich, Rowell, Soltoff, Tecce and Walters,
who each inadvertently filed a late Form 4 to report their annual director stock
grant on December 18, 2009.

Outstanding
Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
The following table sets forth
information for the outstanding equity awards held by our named executive
officers for the year ended December 31, 2009. The information below pertains to
stock options, which were granted under the 2008 Equity Compensation Plan (which
includes prior grants under our 2005 Incentive Stock Plan and our 2006 Omnibus
Equity Compensation Plan), and restricted stock grants, which were granted in
accordance with the terms of our 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation
Plan. On October 29, 2009, the Co-Investment Fund II, L.P. acquired
6,108,997 shares of our common stock and as a result of this purchase,
Co-Investment Fund II, L. P. now holds voting securities of the Company
providing it with the right to cast approximately 53% of the votes on matters
presented for a vote by the Company's stockholders, which constituted a change

Employment,
Severance and Other Agreements
Alvin
H. Clemens
On November 27, 2007 we entered into an
amended and restated employment agreement with Alvin H. Clemens. The employment
agreement replaced and superseded Mr. Clemens’ existing employment agreement. On
March 31, 2008, in connection with our March 31, 2008 private placement and Mr.
Clemens’ resignation as our Chief Executive Officer and appointment as
Co-Chairman of our Board of Directors, Mr. Clemens’ amended and restated
employment agreement was terminated effective upon his resignation on April 1,
2008. In consideration of Mr. Clemens’ resignation as Chief Executive Officer
and the termination of his existing Amended and Restated Employment Agreement,
Mr. Clemens received incentive stock options to purchase 550,000 shares of our
common stock. These options have a term of ten years and have an exercise per
share equal to $1.01. The Company and Mr. Clemens had attempted to negotiate a
new employment agreement governing the terms of Mr. Clemens’ position as
Co-Chairman of the Board, which would provide Mr. Clemens with a one year term
and a salary of $300,000 effective as of the date of Mr. Clemens’ resignation.
The Company continued to pay Mr. Clemens a salary at an annualized rate of
$300,000, together with employee benefits through March 31, 2009. Mr. Clemens
employment, salary and benefits ceased on March 31, 2009. Mr. Clemens
resigned from the Board effective November 24, 2009.

Charles
A. Eissa
Mr. Eissa served as our President
and Chief Operating Officer through March 27, 2009. Pursuant to his
employment agreement, his annual base salary was $214,200 per year through
April, 1, 2006, was then increased to $250,000 through March 19, 2007, and then
increased to $300,000 through March 31, 2008. In connection with our
March 2008 private placement, Mr. Eissa’s employment agreement was amended,
effective March 31, 2008, in order to revise Mr. Eissa’s annual base salary to
$250,000 and to amend the term of his employment agreement to one year
commencing on March 31, 2008. On February 2, 2009, Mr. Eissa’s
employment agreement was amended to amend the term of his employment agreement
to a term of 13 months commencing on March 31, 2008 and ending on April 30,
2009.
On March
27, 2009, we agreed to a Separation of Employment and General Release Agreement
with Mr. Eissa, whereby we and Mr. Eissa mutually agreed that Mr. Eissa’s
employment terminated effective March 27, 2009, which we refer to as the
separation date. Under the terms of this agreement, we agreed to
continue to pay Mr. Eissa his current base salary of $250,000 for a period of
fourteen (14) months after the separation date, less applicable tax withholding,
which amount will be paid in equal installments in accordance with our normal
payroll practices. We have also agreed to provide Mr. Eissa with
continued medical, dental and vision coverage at the level in effect as of the
separation date until the end of the twelve (12)-month period following the
separation date. We also agreed to vest, effective as of March 27,
2009, all remaining restricted common stock granted to Mr. Eissa on February 15,
2007, subject to the payment in cash of any withholding taxes to
us. These shares of restricted stock, by their original terms, would
have vested between March 15, 2009 and February 15, 2010. Any
unvested stock option grants held by Mr. Eissa as of the separation date were
forfeited.
Anthony
R. Verdi
Pursuant to an amended and restated
employment agreement Mr. Verdi serves as our Chief Financial Officer and Chief
Operating Officer. Pursuant to his amended and restated employment agreement,
his annual base salary was $225,000 per year through April, 1, 2006, was then
increased to $250,000 through March 31, 2009 and, if not terminated, will
automatically renew for one year periods. He is entitled to receive such bonus
compensation as a majority of our board of directors may determine from time to
time.
In connection with the March 31, 2008
private placement, Mr. Verdi’s employment agreement was amended effective March
31, 2008 to revise Mr. Verdi’s annual base salary to $225,000 and to amend the
term of his employment agreement to a one year term commencing March 31,
2008.

determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors and such

an additional one year term on October 1, 2010 and annually thereafter unless
either party provides written notification to the other party of non-renewal no
later than 60 days prior to the termination date of the

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE.
|
Transactions
With Related Persons
From the beginning of our last fiscal
year until the date of this annual report on Form 10-K, there has been no
transaction, nor is there any transaction currently proposed, to which we were,
are, or would be a participant, in which the amount involved exceeded or would
exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets
at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our
directors or executive officers, any holder of more than 5% of our common stock
or any member of the immediate family of any of these persons or entities had or
will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the compensation
and compensation arrangements (including with respect to equity compensation and
board compensation) described below.
We believe that we have executed all of
the transactions described below on terms no less favorable to us than we could
have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. It is our intention to ensure
that all future transactions between us and our officers, directors and
principal stockholders and their affiliates are approved by a majority of our
board of directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested

On
January 15, 2009, we completed a private placement with Co-Investment, for
an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock.
|
|
o
|
The
preferred stock is entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of
the Company’s common stock with each share of preferred stock having the
right to 20 votes. Upon the liquidation, sale or merger of the
Company, each share of preferred stock is entitled to receive an amount
equal to the greater of (A) a liquidation preference equal to two and a
half (2.5) times the preferred stock original issue price, subject to
certain customary adjustments, or (B) the amount such share of preferred
stock would receive if it participated pari passu with the holders
of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Each share of
preferred stock becomes convertible into 20 shares of common stock,
subject to adjustment and at the option of the holder of the preferred
stock, immediately after stockholder approval of the amendment to the
Company’s charter. For so long as any shares of preferred
stocks are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the preferred stock is required to approve (Y) any amendment
to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would
adversely alter the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the
preferred stock or (Z) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of
incorporation to create any shares of capital stock that rank senior to
the preferred stock. In addition to the voting rights described
above, for so long as 1,000,000 shares of preferred stocks are
outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of
the shares of preferred stocks is required to effect or validate any
merger, sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other
fundamental transaction, unless such transaction, when consummated, will
provide the holders of preferred stock with an amount per share equal to
two and a half (2.5) times the preferred stock original issue
price.
|
|
o
|
The
warrants provide that the holder thereof shall have the right (A) at any
time after the Stockholder Approval Deadline, but prior to the earlier of
(i) ten business days after the Company has properly provided written
notice to all such holders of a Call Event (as defined below),
(ii) the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the Charter
Amendment, or the Stockholder Approval Date, and (iii) January 14, 2014,
to acquire 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock upon the payment of $4.00
per Preferred Warrant Share and (B) at any time after the
Stockholder Approval Date, but prior to the earlier of (i) ten business
days’ after the Company has properly provided written notice to all such
holders of a Call Event (as defined below) and (ii) January 14, 2014, to
acquire up to a total of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company,
or each a Warrant Share, upon the payment of $0.20 per Warrant Share, or
the Exercise Price. The Company also has the right, at any
point after the Stockholder Approval Date and after which the volume
weighted average trading price per share of the Preferred Stock for a
minimum of 20 consecutive trading days is equal to at least eight times
the Exercise Price per share, provided that certain other conditions have
been satisfied, to call the outstanding Warrants, or a Call Event, in
which case such Warrants will expire if not exercised within ten business
days thereafter. The Warrants also include full ratchet
anti-dilution adjustment provisions for issuances of securities below
$0.20 per share of Common Stock during the first two years following the
date of issuance of the Warrants, subject to customary
exceptions.

On December 22, 2009, we and our
subsidiaries entered into a Loan Agreement and a $1,250,000 Secured Promissory
Note, or the Note, with Co-Investment.
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Agreement and the Note, Co-Investment extended the principal sum of $1,250,000,
or the Loan, to us and our subsidiaries, or collectively, the
Borrowers. Pursuant to the Note, the Borrowers agreed to pay to the
order of Co-Investment, the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus
interest. Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Note
at an annual rate of 8%, except in the case of an event of default as set forth
in the Loan Agreement, in which case the rate of interest will increase to 11%
until such event of default is cured. All principal and accrued
interest is due and payable on December 22, 2010. Co-Investment may
accelerate payment of the Loan in the event of default on the Loan as set forth
in Loan Agreement.
45
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the
Borrowers are prohibited from, among other things: (a) (i) entering into any
merger, consolidation or reorganization with or acquiring all or substantially
all of the assets or equity interests of any other entity, or (ii) selling,
leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of their properties or assets
except in the ordinary course of business; (b) creating or suffering to exist
any lien upon any of their property or assets, except as permitted; (c) becoming

interest in any person or entity; (e) making advances, loans or extensions of
credit to any person or entity; (f) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering
to exist any indebtedness or (g) violating any law, ordinance or regulation of
any governmental entity.
The Note is secured by a perfected
first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the
Borrowers, including all of the intellectual property assets of the Borrowers,
and 100% of the stock our subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of a Security
Agreement, Intellectual Property Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement with
Co-Investment, each of which were executed by the Borrowers and Co-Investment on
December 22, 2009, concurrent with the execution of the Loan Agreement and the
Note.
Director
Independence
Although our common stock is not listed
on NASDAQ and, as a result, we are not subject to NASDAQ’s listing standards, we
voluntarily strive to comply with such standards. As required under the NASDAQ
listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of
directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by a
company’s board of directors. Our board of directors, in applying the standards
for independence as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ listing standards
and Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Harrison, Rich, Rowell, Tecce and
Soltoff are “independent” directors.
