This excerpt taken from the WBMD 8-K filed Jul 2, 2009. We may
be subject to claims brought against us as a result of content
we provide
Consumers access health-related information through our online
services, including information regarding particular medical
conditions and possible adverse reactions or side effects from
medications. If our content, or content we obtain from third
parties, contains inaccuracies, it is possible that consumers,
employees, health plan members or others may sue us for various
causes of action. Although our Web sites contain terms and
conditions, including disclaimers of liability, that are
intended to reduce or eliminate our liability, the law governing
the validity and enforceability of online agreements and other
electronic transactions is evolving. We could be subject to
claims by third parties that our online agreements with
consumers and physicians that provide the terms and conditions
for use of our public or private portals are unenforceable. A
finding by a court that these agreements are invalid and that we
are subject to liability could harm our business and require
costly changes to our business.
We have editorial procedures in place to provide quality control
of the information that we publish or provide. However, we
cannot assure you that our editorial and other quality control
procedures will be sufficient to ensure that there are no errors
or omissions in particular content. Even if potential claims do
not result in liability to us, investigating and defending
against these claims could be expensive and time consuming and
could divert management’s attention away from our
operations. In addition, our business is based on establishing
the reputation of our portals as trustworthy and dependable
sources of healthcare information. Allegations of impropriety or
inaccuracy, even if unfounded, could harm our reputation and
business.

In connection with the restatement of our financial results,
which is more fully described in the Explanatory Note on
page 1 to this amended
Form 10-Q
and in Note 12 to our financial statements, under the
direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures.
We identified a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting with respect to accounting for income taxes
relating to the treatment of tax deductible goodwill in the
determination of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
June 30, 2006.
As of May 4, 2007 we implemented new procedures, including
improved documentation and analysis regarding the reversal
pattern of temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting. We believe these new procedures enable us to comply
with the requirements related to the accounting for deferred tax
asset valuation allowances. In so doing, management has
remediated the related internal control weakness. In connection
with this amended
Form 10-Q,
under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Table of Contents
Financial Officer, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures as currently in effect as of the date of this
amendment, including the remedial actions discussed above, and
we have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective.
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.
