Exchange Rate Sensitivity
 
Currently, substantially all of our sales and expenses are denominated in United States dollars; however, Conceptis is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the rate of exchange of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar. This exposure arises primarily as a result of translating the results of Conceptis’ foreign operations to the United States dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the accounting period. We have not engaged in foreign currency hedging activities to date. Foreign currency translation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was not material. There was no exposure to foreign currency exchange rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. We believe that future exchange rate sensitivity related to Conceptis will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

This exposure arises primarily as a result of translating the results of Conceptis’ foreign operations to the United States dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the accounting period. We have not engaged in foreign currency hedging activities to date. Foreign currency translation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was not material. There was no exposure to foreign currency exchange rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. We believe that future exchange rate sensitivity related to Conceptis will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), WebMD management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of WebMD’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of June 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that WebMD’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006.
 
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), WebMD management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, except for the conversion by WebMD to new accounting software described below, no changes in WebMD’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the second quarter of 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, WebMD’s internal control over financial reporting. During the second quarter of 2006, WebMD implemented a planned conversion to a new third party accounting software system different than the one used by Emdeon and no longer relies on related services that had been provided by Emdeon. As a result, certain business processes and accounting procedures of WebMD have changed. These changes were made in accordance with WebMD’s plan to implement separate accounting systems from those of Emdeon and not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in WebMD’s internal control over financial reporting.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity
 
Currently, substantially all of our sales and expenses are denominated in United States dollars; however, with the acquisition of the assets of Conceptis, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the rate of exchange of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar. This exposure arises primarily as a result of translating the results of Conceptis’ foreign operations to the United States dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the accounting period. As Conceptis was purchased in December 2005, there was not a material impact on our results of operations as a result of foreign currency translation.
 
We believe that future exchange rate sensitivity related to Conceptis will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
