Foresight Creates Successful Exit for Venture Capital Investors

DUBLIN, OH, February 13, 2007 – Foresight Corporation, a leading provider of business intelligence and transaction automation applications for healthcare and global business markets, announced today that it has repurchased all of its stock held by institutional investors; the transaction was made possible by accelerating revenue and profitability from Foresight’s maturing line of software products.

Foresight raised its Series A funding in 2000 from four venture capital firms. Since that time, the company launched a series of transaction automation products for the Healthcare industry. Foresight now offers its Transaction Insight Automation System (or “T.I.”) as a complete platform that enables healthcare organizations to monitor electronic transactions, enforce standards compliance, perform auto-correction, reduce administrative costs, and improve revenue cycles.

In providing a positive return for its investors Foresight stands out among companies that received venture funding during the 1999-2000 era. In contrast, data released in 2006 shows an average 6.8% loss on 5-year venture investments from the year 2000¹. “We are very pleased that Foresight has delivered a solid win for the investor group. Their success in creating an exit for investors from commercial operations is testament to the creativity and strong performance of the management team, and the popularity of their products.” said Murray Wilson, Managing Director, River Cities Capital Funds in Cincinnati. River Cities has been the lead venture investor in Foresight since 2000.

“Our investors served us well and we are thrilled to be able to provide them a profitable exit over a reasonable horizon.” said Robert A. Fisher, Foresight’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This win-win event will increase the value for all remaining holders of Foresight stock and options. It also closes an important chapter in our 17-year history and heralds the start of a new growth era for the Company.”The popularity of Foresight’s T.I. has accelerated especially among healthcare payers. There are now over 80 users of T.I. including WellPoint, Inc., Coventry Health Care, Arizona Medicaid, Independent Health, and Fidelis Care of New York.
