Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $6,800,000 as compared to $2,507,000 in the year-ago period. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Online Benefits, Inc., which the Company completed in August 2006.

Operating income for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,000,000 and $3,100,000, respectively.

2007 Outlook
The following statements are forward-looking and actual results
may differ materially. Please refer to the section titled,
"Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this press release for a
complete description of risks. The Company's quarterly and annual
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission also provide a
more detailed description of risk factors.
The company has now fully integrated the acquisition of Online
Benefits and the first of a three phase launch of our next generation
product, Benergy 2G!, is expected to begin in early second quarter,
2007. The company is revising its financial guidance for the year
ending December 31, 2007 to $26 - $28 million of revenues and Adjusted
EBITDA of $6 - $7 million. The company defines Non-GAAP Adjusted
EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For the year ending
December 31, 2006, the company's Adjusted EBITDA was $4,900,000.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted operating income represents operating income before
severance costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and
amortization of purchased intangibles. Adjusted net income represents
net income before severance costs, non-cash stock-based compensation
expense and amortization of purchased intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA
represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. These financial
measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these
non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they are appropriate
measures for evaluating our operating performance. We present these
non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information
regarding our performance and because they are measures by which we
gauge our profitability. You should not consider these non-GAAP
financial measures as an alternative to net income. Our calculation of
these financial measures may be different from the calculations used
by other companies and, as a result, comparability may be limited.
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, all of the statements,
expectations and assumptions contained in this press release are
forward-looking statements. These statements, especially revenue, net
income and cash flow forecasts, involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or
developments to differ materially. Factors that could affect the
company's actual results, performance or developments include general
economic conditions, development of the Internet as a source of health
information, pricing actions taken by competitors, demand for the
company's health information, the ability to realize the anticipated
benefits of the acquisition, regulatory changes in laws and
regulations that impact how the company conducts its business and the
other factors described in A.D.A.M.'s filings with the SEC. A.D.A.M.
disclaims any obligation or duty to update any of its forward-looking
statements.
