1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 is consistent with the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2011).

2. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2,322,662 and $1,591,996, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 41.0% and 42.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various immaterial permanent tax differences.

3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains two stock incentive plans. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 354,750 stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.66. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted 319,000 stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.07. The fair value of stock based awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model, with the assumptions as follows:

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		2011				2010
Risk-free interest rate			2.37 - 2.39	%			2.39 - 2.49	%
Expected dividend yield			0.0	%			0.0	%
Expected life		5 - 7 years				5 - 7 years
Expected forfeiture rate			0-5	%			0-10	%
Volatility			50	%			55	%

Total stock based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income, is as follows:

		June 30,								June 30,

Total stock based compensation expense		$	184,035			$	169,770			$	373,829			$	332,550

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, escrowed or restricted shares, and shares subject to vesting are included in diluted net income per share only to the extent these shares are dilutive. Common equivalent shares are dilutive when the average market price during the period exceeds the exercise price of the underlying shares. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted net income per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect, was approximately 0.4 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and approximately 0.4 million and 0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

5. COLLABORATIVE ARRANGEMENT

On June 23, 2010, the Company announced the formation of SimVentures, a collaborative arrangement between HealthStream and Laerdal Medical Corporation (Laerdal Medical). The Company receives 50 percent of the profits or losses generated from the collaborative arrangement. A legal entity was not formed as part of the collaborative arrangement; therefore, the Company accounts for SimVentures as a collaborative arrangement in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired fifty percent ownership in Laerdal Medical’s Advanced Video System (AVS) product for $3.5 million in cash. AVS is a product that enables users of advanced patient simulators to easily capture video, audio, data logs, and “patient” responses. The AVS product is now jointly owned through SimVentures. During the second quarter of 2011, SimVentures launched SimStore™, one of the components of SimCenter™ that offers healthcare providers an opportunity to sample and purchase simulation scenarios to use in their simulation training activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $148,000 of revenues and $498,000 of expenses related to the collaborative arrangement. The expenses are primarily recorded in the product development, sales and marketing and depreciation and amortization categories within the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company also recorded approximately $3.9 million of capitalized software development for SimVentures during 2011, comprised of the $3.5 million paid for the AVS product and $392,000 associated with SimStore^TM.

6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company primarily provides services to healthcare organizations, and to a lesser extent, to pharmaceutical and medical device companies and other members within the healthcare industry. The Company’s services are primarily focused on the delivery of education and training products and services (HealthStream Learning), as well as survey and research services (HealthStream Research). The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of our financial statements. We believe the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.

The accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

	•		Revenue recognition
	•		Accounting for income taxes
	•		Product development costs and related capitalization
	•		Goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets
	•		Allowance for doubtful accounts
	•		Accrual for service credits
	•		Stock based compensation
	•		Nonmonetary exchange of content rights and deferred service credits

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by US GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Form 10-K, which contains additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by US GAAP. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those reported in our 2010 Form 10-K.

The decrease primarily resulted from lower depreciation expense associated with certain assets reaching the end of their useful lives, but was partially offset by an increase from amortization of capitalized software development.

Other Income (Expense), net. Other income, net was approximately $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net expense of $13,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The improvement over the prior year was associated with higher interest income resulting from higher yields on cash and investments in marketable securities.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate was 41.0% for 2011 compared to 42.5% 2010.

Net income per diluted share was $0.14 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.10 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) improved by 25.6% to approximately $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This improvement is consistent with the factors mentioned in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations herewith. Our reconciliation of this calculation to measures under US GAAP is listed in the table below.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company at this stage in its life cycle because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many investors and securities analysts to assess the Company’s results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under US GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with US GAAP, it is

susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; it does not reflect non-cash components of employee compensation; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and due to the Company’s utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2010 and 2011, actual cash income tax payments have been significantly less than the tax provision recorded in accordance with US GAAP, and income tax payments will continue to be less than the income tax provision until our existing federal and state net operating loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or have expired.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.8 million and $7.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s primary sources of cash were receipts generated from the sales of our products and services. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) which is calculated by dividing the accounts receivable balance, excluding unbilled and other receivables, by average daily revenues for the quarter, approximated 54 days for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 53 days for the second quarter of 2010. The primary uses of cash to fund operations included personnel expenses, sales commissions, royalty payments, payments for contract labor and other direct expenses associated with delivery of our products and services, and general corporate expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.8 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During 2011, the Company purchased $4.7 million of investments in marketable securities, spent $4.6 million for capitalized software development, and purchased $1.8 million of property and equipment. Approximately $3.5 million of the capitalized software development spending related to the acquisition of a 50 percent ownership stake in Laerdal Medical’s AVS product. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities and sales of investments in marketable securities of $8.4 million. During 2010, the Company spent $1.0 million for capitalized software development and purchased $510,000 of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $558,000 and $122,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The primary source of cash from financing activities for 2011 and 2010 resulted from proceeds associated with the exercise of employee stock options. The primary uses of cash for 2011 related to payments under capital lease obligations, and for 2010 related to payments under a promissory note and capital lease obligations.

Revenues increased and operating income improved over the prior year period, and our balance sheet reflects positive working capital of $21.9 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $19.5 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the cash generated from operations. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is $26.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, restricted cash and related interest receivable. The Company also has a $20.0 million revolving credit facility loan agreement, all of which was available at June 30, 2011.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, related interest receivable, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash

needs for working capital, new product development and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. As part of our growth strategy, we review possible acquisitions that complement our products and services. We anticipate that future acquisitions, if any, would be effected through a combination of stock and cash consideration. We may need to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities and/or borrowings under our revolving credit facility, or another facility, to finance any future acquisitions. The issuance of our stock as consideration for an acquisition could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and could adversely affect our stock price. Because we have no material debt or outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our balance sheet is unleveraged. Our revolving credit facility contains financial covenants and availability calculations designed to set a maximum leverage ratio of outstanding debt to equity. Therefore, if we were to borrow against our revolving credit facility, our debt capacity would be dependent on the covenant values at the time of borrowing. The credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption, and we cannot assure you that if we need additional financing that it will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or raise additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. As of June 30, 2011, our outstanding indebtedness included approximately $2,200 of capital lease obligations. We may become subject to interest rate market risk associated with any future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility is based on 30 Day LIBOR plus a margin of either 175 or 200 basis points determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are also exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances. At June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, restricted cash, and related interest receivable totaling approximately $26.5 million. Our current investment rates of return approximate 0.14%. Assuming a 0.14% rate of return on $26.5 million, a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would decrease interest income and decrease net income on an annualized basis by approximately $3,700.

The Company manages its investment risk by investing in corporate debt securities, foreign corporate debt, secured corporate debt, and municipal debt securities with minimum acceptable credit ratings. For certificates of deposit and corporate obligations, ratings must be A1/A, BBB, FDIC insured or better; A1/P1 or better for commercial paper, and MIG 1/S, P/1 or better for municipal debt securities. The Company also requires that all securities must mature within 24 months from the original settlement date, the average portfolio shall not exceed 18 months, and the greater of 10% or $5.0 million shall mature within 90 days. Further, the Company’s investment policy also limits concentration exposure and other potential risk areas.

The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

HealthStream’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that HealthStream’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in HealthStream’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, HealthStream’s internal control over financial reporting.
