Item 1. Business of Standard Management
Overview
     Standard Management Corporation (“the Company”), is an Indianapolis-based company that, through Universal Healthcare Company, LLC (“UHCC”), a newly formed company will provide pharmaceutical products and services to the healthcare industry. The Company provides pharmaceuticals to long-term care and infusion therapy facilities. Through regional pharmacies, the Company intends to provide consulting services, including monitoring the control, distribution, and administration of drugs within the long-term care facility and assisting in compliance with applicable regulations. Through UHCC, the Company will offer custom packaging for long-term care facilities through its regional pharmacies. Its customers primarily include chronically ill patients in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities and in home care.

History
     In June 2005, in order to provide greater long-term value for our shareholders, we sold our financial services business, which we had operated since 1989, for a purchase price of approximately $80 million with net proceeds of approximately $52 million. As a result, we significantly reduced our debt levels and created capital for acquisitions.
     Since June 2005, we have sought to expand our business through both organic growth and an active, focused acquisition program, with the goal of increasing revenues to approximately a $200 million to $300 million run rate by the end of 2008.
     While we did acquire various businesses during 2002-2005, most have since been sold or discontinued. See Note 4 and Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements for further information. Our current intentions are to realize growth through UHCC. The businesses sold had been part of our $300 million goal; however, we believe that our current pipeline of acquisition targets could refill those lost revenues.
Our Business
     As of April 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary, Precision Healthcare, Inc. (“Precision”) provides specialty infusion therapies, pharmaceuticals, and supplies to chronically ill homecare, infusion center, and skilled nursing home patients. Precision is a pharmacy in the Tennessee Valley, and Cincinnati, Ohio area, generating revenues in 2006 of $9.0 million. The Company intends to acquire other specialty, and institutional pharmacies through its newly organized subsidiary, UHCC.
     Unlike hospitals, most long-term care facilities (such as skilled nursing or assisted living facilities) do not have on-site pharmacies to dispense prescription drugs, but depend instead on institutional pharmacies to provide the necessary pharmacy products and services and to play an integral role in monitoring patient medication. In addition to providing pharmaceuticals, institutional pharmacies provide consulting services, which include monitoring the control, distribution and administration of drugs within the long-term care facility and assisting in compliance with applicable regulations.
     Institutional pharmacies will be the primary focus of our business. Through UHCC, we will operate pharmacies as regional hubs servicing a geographic subsection of the country. Our regional facilities will be supported by smaller pharmacies that extend the reach of the pharmacy’s products and services. We currently operate a pharmacy in Tennessee, and are seeking to acquire existing pharmacies to serve as regional pharmacies in various areas of the United States.
     Each of our regional pharmacies will employ a sales and business development staff whose primary responsibilities will be to maintain good working relationships with its existing client base and to secure new long-term care, assisted living or other institutional clients. In addition, the regional hubs will maintain their own consulting pharmacists on staff who will work closely in a clinical setting with the facilities to provide continuing in-service education and to answer the questions of staff members and patients on a regular basis. We believe the high quality of our services, responsiveness and flexibility to each facility and patients’ needs will help us develop long-term customer loyalty and attract new clients.
Customers
     The three largest provider types in long term care are nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health care providers. Nursing homes remain the dominant and most recognizable component of the long-term care continuum. While long-term care continues to diversify and evolve, the nursing home sector has traditionally been the leading sector. However, recent industry outgrowth into assisted living, community-based, and other ancillary services (including therapies, durable medical equipment, laboratory, and pharmacy services) has given these emerging services a growing role in the overall marketplace.
The Industry
     According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources, at the turn of the century, baby boomers were turning 50 at the rate of one every 18 seconds. By 2020, those over age 65 will make up 20% of the entire U.S. population. More than 14 million of these individuals will require assistance with daily activities. Long term care expenditures now represent the fastest growing portion of U.S. health care costs.

Our Growth/Acquisition Strategy
     We have signed a Management Agreement with UHCC, a newly organized entity that will provide pharmaceuticals to the long-term care industry. Standard Management will be the managing partner, and as of April 2007, is its only shareholder. Standard Management will receive management fees from UHCC based on certain factors tied to results. We anticipate that our equity ownership in UHCC will be diluted to approximately 24% in connection with financing of acquisitions by UHCC. We believe that this investment and financial structure will result in less dilution to current Standard Management shareholders than other alternatives, and in a shorter time frame and allow us to execute our growth strategy.
     Our strategy for growth is to acquire and integrate through UHCC regional pharmacies that expand our footprint and increase the products and services we offer. We have identified four strategic acquisitions which, when completed, will allow us to build critical mass in terms of both customers served and human and technological capital. UHCC has agreed in principle to acquire Precision Healthcare from Standard Management for $4.2 million. UHCC is in negotiations with several acquisitions targets to finalize Definitive Agreements.
     In the initial stages of our long-term growth plan, acquisitions have played, and will continue to play, a primary role. Our management team has substantial experience in identifying, initiating and closing acquisitions, having completed 20 acquisitions since 1989 Our objective is to pursue only acquisition targets that are both in harmony with current operations and accretive to earnings. Our commitment is to acquire institutional long-term care and infusion therapy pharmacies, and integrate them into our decentralized operations model (which offers national, centralized pricing). At the same time, we afford the target companies economies of scale and reduction of overhead by providing services such as legal, accounting, marketing and business development, human resources and information technology services which are easily applied across all operational units.
     Since entering the long term care sector in 2005, we generally pursue acquisitions of businesses with strong historical revenue and earnings performance, and with a committed existing management team willing to actively participate in the continued operations of the company post-acquisition and to grow their operational unit revenues in excess of 10% per year. We expect target earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) post-acquisition for acquired entities to range from 7%-10% of revenues depending on the type of business acquired. Our intent is to maintain the integrity and heritage of the acquired business while providing resources to enable management to invest more time in generating operating revenue. In this way, the local business unit operators can improve patient satisfaction in addition to enhancing the development of their personnel and the refinement of their business processes.
     We generally finance our acquisitions with a combination of cash, equity and seller financing (usually through a promissory note). This structure enables us to align our long-term expectations and incentives with those of the existing management.
     We will need to find additional financing alternatives to fund future acquisitions. Although we believe that we can obtain necessary financing to continue to execute our acquisition plan, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing in the future, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. In addition, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or that, if identified, we will be able to complete the acquisitions on terms acceptable to us.
Future Acquisitions
     Our growth strategy depends significantly on our ability to identify appropriate acquisition targets. We are currently negotiating for the acquisition of four (4) pharmacies. We intend to sell Precision Healthcare from Standard Management to UHCC for $4,200,000, including $2,100,000 in cash, $1,500,000 in a seller note, and $600,000 worth of UHCC stock.

Regulatory Factors
     The pharmacy business is subject to extensive and often changing federal, state and local regulations, and our pharmacies are required to be licensed in the states in which they are located to do business. While we continuously monitor the effects of regulatory activity on our operations and believe we currently have all necessary pharmacy licenses, the failure to obtain or renew any required regulatory approvals or licenses could adversely affect the continued operation of our business. The long-term care facilities that contract for our services are also subject to federal, state and local regulations and are required to be licensed in the states in which they are located. The failure by these long-term care facilities to comply with these or future regulations or to obtain or renew any required licenses could result in our inability to provide pharmacy services to these facilities and their residents.
     Medicare and Medicaid. The long-term care pharmacy business has long operated under regulatory and cost containment pressures from state and federal legislation primarily affecting Medicaid and, to a lesser extent until recently, Medicare. As is the case for long-term care services generally, we have historically received reimbursement from the Medicaid and Medicare programs, directly from individual residents or their responsible parties (private pay), long-term care facilities and from other payors such as third-party insurers.
     On December 8, 2004, President Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2004 (the “Act”), a comprehensive voluntary prescription drug benefit administered under Medicare Part D effective January 1, 2006. The new Act provided certain cost-sharing government subsidies for individuals who might otherwise qualify for drug coverage under Medicaid or similar government-funded aid programs
     We are subject to Medicare fraud and abuse and anti-self-referral laws which preclude, among other things, (a) persons from soliciting, offering, receiving or paying any remuneration in order to induce the referral of a patient for treatment or for inducing the ordering or purchasing of items or services that are in any way paid for by Medicare or Medicaid, and (b) physicians from making referrals to certain entities with which they have a financial relationship. The fraud and abuse laws and regulations are broad in scope and are subject to frequent modification and varied interpretation. Violation of these laws can result in loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from Medicaid, Medicare and other federal healthcare programs.
     Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers are subject to inquiries or audits to evaluate their compliance with requirements and standards set forth under these government-sponsored programs. These audits and inquiries, as well as our own internal compliance program, from time-to-time have identified overpayments and other billing errors resulting in repayment or self-reporting to the applicable agency. We believe that our billing practices materially comply with applicable state and federal requirements. However, the requirements may be interpreted in the future in a manner inconsistent with our interpretation and application.
     Federal law and regulations contain a variety of requirements relating to the furnishing of prescription drugs under Medicaid. First, states are given authority, subject to certain standards, to limit or specify conditions for the coverage of particular drugs. Second, federal Medicaid law establishes standards affecting pharmacy practice. These standards include general requirements relating to patient counseling and drug utilization review and more specific standards for skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities relating to drug regimen reviews for Medicaid patients in such facilities. Regulations clarify that, under federal law, a pharmacy is not required to meet the general requirements for drugs dispensed to nursing facilities residents if the nursing facilities complies with the drug regimen review standards. However, the regulations indicate that states may nevertheless require pharmacies to comply with the general requirements, regardless of whether the new drug satisfies the drug regimen review requirement, and the states in which we operate currently do require our pharmacies to comply with these general standards. Third, federal regulations impose certain requirements relating to reimbursement for prescription drugs furnished to Medicaid patients. Among other things, regulations establish “upper limits” on payment levels. Legislation passed by Congress in February 2006 changed the calculation of these so-called upper limits. In addition to requirements imposed by federal law, states have substantial discretion to determine administrative, coverage, eligibility and payment policies under their state Medicaid programs that may affect our operations.

Competitive Factors
     We will provide pharmacy products and services. The pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive and fragmented industry, both regionally and nationally. We compete with local, regional and national organizations focused on similar customer groups. In the direct dispensing of pharmaceutical products, we compete with local and national retail, mail order and institutional pharmacies as well as pharmacies owned by long-term care facilities. We compete in this market based on competitive pricing, localized services, a broader product offering, value-added technologies and partnering initiatives that drive shared revenue.
Employees
     As of April 24, 2007, we had forty eight (48) employees. We believe our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled technical, marketing, support and management personnel. None of our employees are represented by unions.
Equity Investment
     In March 2007, Mr. Sam Schmidt of Las Vegas, Nevada and certain investors related to Mr. Schmidt completed the purchase of 20,000,000 shares of Standard Management stock at a purchase price of $.10 per share. Upon completion of the transaction, Mr. Schmidt beneficially owns approximately 52.6% of the Registrant’s outstanding common shares. Mr. Schmidt will have the power to direct the affairs of Standard Management. Mr. Schmidt agreed to vote his shares of the Company’s common shares for the election to the Company’s board of director of himself, Mr. Dennis King, Mr. Ronald D. Hunter, Mr. James H. Steane II, and Mr. Dainforth B. French, Jr. Mr. Hunter, Mr. Steane, and Mr. French are all current members of the board of directors of the Company.
     Mr. Schmidt granted options to purchase 3,000,000 of the Company’s common shares purchased by the investor group to Mr. Ronald Hunter, 1,000,000 common shares to Mark B.L. Long, and 1,000,000 common shares to Dr. Martial R. Knieser, M.D. The exercise price of the options is $0.20 per share, and the options have a term of two years. Each of Mr. Hunter, Dr. Long, and Dr. Knieser is an officer of the Company.
     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company provided to Mr. Schmidt a first priority security interest in certain real estate located in Bloomington, Indiana owned by a subsidiary of Standard Management; personal property of the Company; and a pledge of the shares of the Company’s subsidiary, Precision Healthcare, Inc., securing existing indebtedness in the principal amount of $2.5 million owed to Mr. Schmidt pursuant to a 6% convertible note due 2008. The Company sold the Convertible Note to Mr. Schmidt in November 2004.
     The Company used the proceeds of the sale of its shares to Mr. Schmidt for debt reduction and general corporate purposes.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     In addition to the other information in this report and our other filings with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating Standard Management and our businesses. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, not presently known to us or otherwise, may also impair our business operations or the trading of our common stock. If any of the risks described below or such other risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We have suffered substantial losses, and may suffer losses in the future.
Standard Management Corporation, has suffered substantial losses from continuing operations of $7.7 million in 2006, $12.6 million in 2005, and $14.1 million in 2004. Net losses may continue until we generate significant revenues through acquisitions and organic growth primarily through Universal Healthcare Company, LLC. We cannot assure you that will be able to operate our business profitably.
Our future profitability will depend on several factors, including:
    our ability to identify and acquire appropriately priced and profitable businesses that provide cash flow and synergies to our current business;
 
    our ability to execute a planned strategy that will provide for cash flow from operations which will fund growth and service debt; and
 
    our ability to access reasonably priced capital that will provide long-term flexibility for the Company.
Unless we receive a significant cash infusion or significantly increase cash flow from operations, we may not have sufficient cash to meet our cash requirements at some point during 2007.
     Our pharmacy business alone has not generated sufficient revenues to support our operations and service our debt obligations. We implemented a growth plan, subsequent to the sale of our financial services business in June 2005, focused on acquiring profitable existing businesses to increase our revenues and cash flows. The funding of this growth plan and our ability to meet our working capital and other cash requirements generally, depend on, among other things, current cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from outside financing activities. At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $600,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Nevertheless, based on current estimates of cash flow, management believes that, absent significant additional cash infusion or significantly increased cash flow from operations, at some point during 2007, we may not have sufficient cash to meet our cash requirements. Management is currently negotiating a series of transactions, some through UHCC, it believes would alleviate the potential liquidity shortfall. There can be no assurance, however, that outside financing activities will generate sufficient net proceeds or that the other initiatives currently being negotiated by management can be consummated in full or at sufficient levels to provide us with sufficient cash to meet our cash requirements.
Our independent auditors have expressed doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
     In their report dated April 20, 2007 our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were prepared assuming the Company would continue as a going concern. The auditors expressed “substantial doubt” about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based on a lack of liquidity combined with recurring losses from continuing operations. The fact that we have received this “going concern opinion” from our auditors may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms and could hinder, to some extent, our operations and acquisition program.
We will require additional financing, which may be difficult to obtain. Any such financing in the form of debt will contain restrictive covenants and will require us to utilize cash to service it.
     Our business requires additional cash for operations and for acquisitions. As a result, we will likely need to seek substantial capital, which we may do through public or private equity or debt financing. In addition to seeking equity financing for both Standard Management and UHCC, we are currently negotiating with various potential lenders to provide senior debt financing. There can be no assurance that we can reach agreement with any lenders for such financing. The terms of such indebtedness would likely require us to meet certain financial tests and comply with certain reporting, affirmative and negative covenants. If we obtain such debt financing, a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations would be dedicated to debt service requirements.

Table of Contents

We are subject to various risks relating to our acquisition strategy.
     A significant component of our growth strategy contemplates our making selected acquisitions that will help expand our pharmacy offerings. Acquisitions involve inherent uncertainties. These uncertainties include the ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates and negotiate acceptable terms for their acquisition, the ability to integrate the acquired businesses into a larger organization and the availability of management resources to oversee the operations of these businesses. The successful integration of acquired businesses will require, among others:
    consolidation of financial functions and elimination of redundancies;
 
    achievement of purchasing efficiencies;
 
    hire company executives, as needed;
 
    the integration of key personnel; and
 
    maintenance and growth of existing business.
     We have procedures in place to conduct detailed due diligence reviews of potential acquisition candidates for compliance with healthcare laws and to conform the practices of acquired businesses to our standards and applicable laws, but there can be no assurance that our procedures will detect all potential problems. If such procedures fail, we may incur liabilities for past activities of acquired businesses. We cannot insure that an acquisition will not have an adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our profitability and ability to conduct business could be negatively impacted by a change in our relationships with our largest institutional clients.
     A large portion of the present and future growth of our institutional pharmacy business currently is contingent upon our ability to acquire and retain institutional care facilities. We are presently attempting to expand the number of these contracts. The financial condition and profitability of our institutional clients can impact our profitability and opportunities for future growth. In addition, although we believe our current relationships with our institutional clients are strong, the loss of key institutional clients would materially affect the operation of our business.
We face considerable competition.
     We operate in a highly competitive environment. The institutional pharmacy industry is dominated by three companies, which together control approximately 65% of the market. If we are unable to compete with our competition due to our size, failure to develop innovative distribution methods or failure to satisfy our customers, our financial results will be immediately and significantly affected.
We are subject to significant governmental regulation, and changes in such regulation could have a substantial impact on our profitability.
     We are subject to substantial regulations at both the state and federal levels regarding payment or reimbursement for pharmacy services, financial relationships with our clients and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, and licensure and certification of our operations, and changes in these regulations may have a material and adverse effect on our profitability as more fully described below.

Table of Contents

We are dependent on payment or reimbursement from government reimbursement programs, principally Medicare and Medicaid, and the constant changes in the government reimbursement programs pose substantial risk to our results of operations.
     The provision of pharmaceuticals and pharmacy benefits is a highly dynamic and evolving business that is tied closely to changes in government reimbursement programs at both the state and federal levels and is in a constant state of flux. Government sponsored programs include Medicaid and, to a lesser extent, Medicare. Our remaining billings are currently paid or reimbursed by individual residents, long-term care facilities and other third-party payors, including private insurers. A portion of these revenues are indirectly dependent on government programs. We anticipate that direct reimbursement from government sponsored programs will become a material portion of our pharmacy billings.
     Many state Medicaid programs use the “average wholesale price” reimbursement methodology (“AWP”) and the “maximum allowable costs” reimbursement methodology (“MAC”), but many states, including states in which we operate or may operate, have indicated an intention to discontinue or modify these payment methodologies, and such changes may have a material and adverse effect on our profitability. Currently, virtually all of our contracts with major facility customers use these methodologies as a basis for calculating the prices charged for drugs ordered through our pharmacy. In the event state reimbursement programs decide to use alternative methods for calculating these prices, our reimbursement may suffer.
If we or our client institutions fail to comply with Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement regulations, our revenue could be reduced, we could be subject to penalties and we could lose our eligibility to participate in these programs.
     The Medicaid and Medicare programs are highly regulated. The failure, even if inadvertent, by either us or our client institutions to comply with applicable reimbursement regulations could adversely affect reimbursement under these programs and our or our clients’ ability to continue to participate in these programs. In addition, our failure to comply with these regulations could subject us and our clients to allegations of filing false claims to the governmental reimbursement programs, which could subject us to substantial financial damages and exclusion from the governmental reimbursement programs.
If we fail to comply with licensure requirements, fraud and abuse laws, or other applicable laws, we may need to curtail operations, and we could be subject to significant penalties.
     Our pharmacies are required to be licensed in the states in which they are located or do business. While we continually monitor the effects of regulatory activity on our operations and believe we currently have all necessary pharmacy licenses, the failure to obtain or renew any required regulatory approvals or licenses could adversely affect the continued operation of the business. The long-term care facilities that contract for our services are also subject to federal, state and local regulations and are required to be licensed in the states in which they are located. The failure by these long-term care facilities to comply with these or future regulations or to obtain or renew any required licenses could result in our inability to provide pharmacy services to these facilities and their residents. We are also subject to federal and state laws that prohibit some types of direct and indirect payments between healthcare providers. These laws, commonly known as the fraud and abuse laws, prohibit payments or any other remuneration intended to induce or encourage the referral of items or services payable by Medicare or Medicaid, including prescription drugs. For example, payment by pharmaceutical manufacturers of access or performance rebates to institutional pharmacies that are designed to prefer, protect, or maintain that manufacturer’s product selection by the pharmacy or to increase the volume of that manufacturer’s products that are dispensed by the pharmacy under its formulary are currently under scrutiny and may violate the fraud and abuse laws. Violation of these laws can result in loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties, and exclusion from the Medicaid, Medicare and other federal and state healthcare programs.

Our failure to comply with federal or state health care privacy standards could subject us to civil and criminal liability.
     The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) requires us to comply with the electronic transaction, privacy and security standards relating to the health care information of individuals who receive drugs and pharmaceuticals through our operations. Although we have taken and intend to continue to take all steps necessary to ensure that we comply with all HIPAA standards, if we fail to comply with the HIPAA regulations, we could suffer significant civil and criminal penalties. We may also become subject to various state legislative and regulatory privacy initiatives that will restrict the use of private medical records, and, if these regulations are implemented, we may incur additional expense and may be required to change certain of our business practices.
We are also subject to other state and federal laws that govern the distribution of pharmaceuticals, the enforcement of which could have a material and adverse effect on our profitability.
     We are also subject to the risk of changes in various local, state, federal and international laws relating to pharmaceuticals, which include the operating and security standards of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Food and Drug Administration, various state boards of pharmacy and comparable agencies. These changes may affect our operations, including distribution of prescription pharmaceuticals (including certain controlled substances), operation of pharmacies and packaging of pharmaceuticals. A review of our business by regulatory authorities may result in determinations that could adversely affect the operations of the business.
We are also subject to cost controls imposed by non-government reimbursement program payors and pricing changes from our suppliers that could have a material and adverse effect on our profitability.
     Cost controls imposed by other third-party payors, such as managed care companies and insurance companies, in an attempt to exercise control over increasing health care costs and changes in pharmaceutical manufacturers’ pricing or distribution policies could also have a material and adverse effect on our profitability by substantially reducing our revenues.
There are few barriers to entry in the institutional pharmacy market, and we may experience unforeseen competition in our markets.
     There are relatively few barriers to entry in the local markets that we serve, and we may encounter substantial competition from new local market entrants as well as increasing competition from our pharmacies operating outside the United States which ship drugs to US residents over the internet and through other distribution channels. This competition could have a material and adverse affect on our business.
Future sales of common stock could depress the price of our common stock.
     We are attempting to raise additional capital. The planned financings may include, but not be limited to, a combination of privately placed common stock, senior debt and subordinated debt in Standard Management or UHCC. The amounts may vary depending upon the structure of each financing instrument. Sales of significant amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that sales will occur, could materially depress the market price of our common stock. Upon the issuance, if any of new shares of common stock, the Company intends to register those shares.
     We also have outstanding four series of convertible notes, which, as of December 31, 2006, are convertible into an aggregate of 49,628,807 shares of common stock. We have registered some of these shares for resale and intend to register the rest so that upon conversion, such shares will be freely tradable. Further, we have outstanding warrants and options to purchase an aggregate of 5,743,135 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock underlying such warrants are subject to registration rights or are otherwise currently freely tradable.

Table of Contents

     In addition, as of December 31, 2006, we have an aggregate of 1,375,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our two stock option plans upon the exercise of stock options currently outstanding. Those shares, if issued, will be eligible for immediate resale in the market (other than 959,500 shares underlying exercisable options held by our executive officers and directors).
     Finally, it is our intention to commence an exchange offer for all or a portion of our outstanding trust preferred securities, in which holders will be offered the opportunity to exchange their trust preferred securities for shares of our common stock. We have not yet determined the terms of the exchange offer, including the exchange ratio. As a result, while the exchange offer will likely result in the issuance of a significant number of additional shares of our common stock, we cannot presently quantify how many new shares will be issued.
The market price of our common stock is volatile.
     The market price of our common stock historically has experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility. This volatility may or may not be related to our operating performance. Some of this volatility may be related to our recent shift to operating solely in the healthcare business and as a much smaller company, and may reflect the market’s difficulty in valuing our business until we establish a longer operating history. In addition, announcements of our quarterly operating results, changes in recommendations by financial analysts, fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors and similar events could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
Our shares are not listed on an exchange which could impact your ability to sell your shares.
     Because our shares are not listed on any stock-exchange (instead quotations of trading are provided by the OTC Bulletin Board), an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. In addition, the SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain exceptions. Because our shares are not listed on an exchange, and are traded below $5.00, they may become subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other that established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have the purchasers’ written consent for a transaction prior to sale period. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market and risks of investing in our securities. The broker-dealer must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in account and for the information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares and may affect your ability to sell our shares in the secondary market.
You may experience dilution as a result of future issuances of shares of our common stock.
     As of December 31, 2006, we had 16,171,194 shares of common stock outstanding. Additionally, as of December 31, 2006, we had stock options, warrants and convertible securities outstanding that were convertible or exercisable into up to 55,371,942 shares of our common stock. We have issued an additional 21,850,000 of shares in January through April, 3, 2007. Furthermore, in connection with our acquisition strategy, we may issue shares of our common stock as consideration in certain future acquisition transactions. We are also likely to issue a significant number of shares in the planned exchange offer for our trust preferred securities. We may also issue additional shares as warrants to purchase additional shares in the future through various financing or restructuring transactions, although, there are no firm plans for such transactions at this time. In the event that we issue additional common stock in the future, our shareholders will experience dilution the significance of which will depend on the number of shares issued.

Discontinued Operations — Financial Services
     On June 9, 2005, we completed the sale of all outstanding capital stock of our former insurance operations, Standard Life Insurance Company of Indiana (“Standard Life”), and its subsidiary, and $27 million aggregate principal amount of surplus debentures issued by Standard Life in our favor to Capital Assurance Corporation (“Capital Assurance”). The purchase price was approximately $79.8 million, consisting of $52.5 million in cash, $5 million in a new class of 7% cumulative exchangeable preferred stock of Capital Assurance (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the assumption by Capital Assurance of approximately $22.3 million of our indebtedness. In addition, Standard Management purchased certain assets from Standard Life at closing for approximately $5.3 million, resulting in net proceeds to us of $47.2 million. The sales price was subject to post-closing adjustment. Capital Assurance entered into a renewable lease of space in our corporate headquarters for $480,000 per year through June 2008.
     We used a portion of the $47.2 million of cash proceeds to a) pay off $17.7 million of bank debt, including prepayment penalties, b) pay $1.0 million related to obtaining a consent from the holders of the trust preferred securities described in Note 5 to effectively allow us to complete the sale of Standard Life and c) pay $3.5 million of professional fees (investment bankers, attorneys and accountants) and miscellaneous other costs related to the sale (printing and mailing of proxy materials and severance payments). The remaining cash proceeds were added to general working capital and have been used for general corporate purposes and pharmacy acquisitions.
     On June 29, 2006, we entered into a Redemption Agreement with Capital Assurance whereby for a gross payment of $1.5 million to us (a net of $1.0 million after the deduction of certain agreed upon amounts), the parties agreed upon the terms for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. The net redemption price of $1.0 million was paid to us by Capital Assurance in June 2006. As additional consideration for the redemption, Capital Assurance agreed to release and discharge us from any further indemnification obligations relating to all pending legal actions against Standard Life. The agreement to release us from the indemnification obligations for these legal actions allowed us to remove approximately $800,000 in legal reserves from our financial statements as of June 30, 2006. We and Capital Assurance also agreed to resolve all issues with respect to a pending action concerning an adjustment to the purchase price for the sale of Standard Life and to dismiss the action with prejudice. Finally, the parties agreed to terminate the Pledge Agreement that was executed by the parties in June 2005 as part of the sale of Standard Life. We realized a $2.8 million loss on the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock (included in Other income, net). Additionally, we realized a $300,000 loss from discontinued operations upon settlement of the purchase price adjustment dispute with Capital Assurance. This $300,000 loss is included in reported losses from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Pharmacy Business Acquisitions
     During 2005, we acquired four pharmacy operations referred to herein as Rainier, Holland, Precision and Long Term Rx. During 2004, we acquired two pharmacy operations referred to herein as RoyalMed and Apothecary.
     During 2003, we acquired the business assets of MyDoc.com for $645,000 paid in the form of cash of $145,000 and a seller note of $500,000. Additionally, in 2003, we acquired the stock of Medical Care & Outcomes, LLC (“MCO”) with $4 million of our common stock. We later sold MCO back to the original owners (other than a 5% interest valued at $160,000) in April 2004. We recognized a loss on the sale and related severance costs for a prior owner/employee of $964,000 (included now in discontinued operations). This divestiture resulted in the return of our common stock and therefore a direct decrease to equity in April 2004 of $4 million. In 2006, due to the underperformance of MCO, we wrote off its $160,000 investment.
     The aggregate purchase price of the 2005 acquisitions was $18.3 million (excluding $0.8 million of acquisition costs), representing $12.7 million in cash, 1,250,001 shares of our common stock valued at $4.1 million, and $1.5 million in a seller note. The aggregate purchase price of the 2004 acquisitions described was $4.0 million, representing $0.8 million in cash paid at closing, 50,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.3 million, and $2.9 million of assumed debt and a seller note. We guaranteed the market value of $3.28 per share of some of the common stock issued in the 2005 acquisitions and $7.00 per share for the RoyalMed acquisition at certain anniversary dates
     The operating results of these acquired operations are included in our consolidated results commencing on their respective acquisition dates. See below regarding the sale or closure of several of these and previously acquired pharmacies.

     During 2006, we expensed in excess of $1,325,000 related to terminated acquisition agreements which were not concluded due to lack of financing and terminated financing transactions which were not consummated.
Discontinued Operations — Pharmacy Services
     On August 11, 2006, we sold certain rights, properties and assets of Rainier and Holland to Omnicare, Inc. (“Omnicare”). At the closing, Omnicare agreed to pay us an aggregate purchase price of up to $13.2 million and assumed certain liabilities of Rainier and Holland valued at $750,000. Of the purchase price, (1) $12.0 million in cash was paid by Omnicare at the closing, (2) $700,000 was held back pending a potential post-closing adjustment to be measured against a specified historical value of the purchased net assets , and (3) up to $520,000 could have been earned based on a calculation defined in the sales agreement. We also agreed to grant Omnicare a three (3) year right of first refusal for the purchase of any other pharmacy businesses. We recorded an original loss on the sale of $3.6 million, including our estimate of the eventual holdback payment to be received or paid and without consideration of the contingent purchase price of $520,000.
     Concurrently with the sale of Rainier and Holland, on August 11, 2006, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with John Tac Hung Tran, Cynthia J. Wareing-Tran and The Jonathan Tran Irrevocable Trust (collectively, the “Trans”), who were the former owners of Rainier. The Settlement Agreement resolved all disputes among the parties with respect to, among other matters, a promissory note granted by us to the Trans as part of the consideration for the acquisition, the amount of bonus and earn-out payments owed to Mr. Tran under the terms of his Employment Agreement with Rainier and certain leases entered into with the Trans as part of the acquisition. Under the settlement, we paid the Trans approximately $5.5 million, of which approximately $1.5 million was for the repayment of the promissory note, $1.0 million for the disputed earn-out payments, $150,000 for the disputed bonus payment, $2.5 million to redeem all 762,195 shares of common stock issued to the Trans as part of the acquisition at their guaranteed price, and $310,000 to redeem all of the shares purchased by the Trans and other associates of the Trans in May 2006 as part of the Company’s private placement at the acquisition price. In exchange for this payment, we received a full and absolute release of any and all claims and liens made by the Trans against the Company. We also agreed to release the Trans from any and all claims it had against them pertaining to these matters. Finally, we agreed to dismiss with prejudice all litigation currently pending pertaining to these matters. The $1.150 million of earn-out and bonus payments are reflected as expenses of discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2006.
     On July 25, 2006, we sold the assets of Pharmaceutical Corporation of America, LLC (“PCA”), a wholesale pharmacy, to Indiana Life Sciences (a company owned by one of our executive officers) for $1 and a commitment to purchase $100,000 of our common stock through a private placement offering. That investment was made in July 2006. We recorded a loss on the sale of $428,000.
     On October 20, 2006, we completed the sale of certain rights, properties and assets of Long Term Rx to Omnicare, Inc. The contract purchase price was for $5.1 million. Of the purchase price, (1) $4.2 million in cash was paid by Omnicare at the closing, (2) $750,000 was held back pending a potential post-closing adjustment to be measured against a specified historical value of the purchased net assets, and (3) up to $225,000 could have been made based on a calculation defined in the sale agreement. We recorded an original gain on the sale of $1.2 million including our estimate of the eventual holdback payment to be received or paid and without consideration of the contingent purchase price of $225,000 and after an expense, related to the buy out of a portion of the remaining lease for space no longer needed at our operating facility in Indianapolis.
     Based on ongoing correspondence regarding the final determination of the holdbacks for both Rainier and Long Term Rx, we have, as of December 31, 2006, reduced our holdback receivables from Omnicare to management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement of these amounts. The related adjustment is included as an additional loss on the respective sales. Future adjustments based on continuing negotiations are not expected to be material.
     In November of 2006, we sold RoyalMed for $75,000, recognizing a loss on sale of $ .2 million.

     In late 2006, management decided to sell a portion of the Company’s “HomeMed” pharmacy operations and to close the remaining “HomeMed” operations. The sale and the closing of the operations were completed in March 2007. A portion of the operations were sold to HomeMed, LLC, a non-affiliated entity, for a cash purchase price of $.4 million. All unsold assets were written down to their minimal estimated realizable value as of December 31, 2006. An aggregate $0.6 million charge was recorded as a component of discontinued operations. Concurrently, the Company entered into a management services agreement with the buyer to provide accounting and other related services for two (2) or more years. Related management services fees of $100,000 were paid in advance upon closing the sale.
Our Growth Strategy
     Our strategy for growth is to acquire and integrate regional pharmacies that expand our footprint and increase the products and services we offer. We have identified several potential strategic acquisitions which, if completed, would allow us to build critical mass in terms of both customers served, human and technological capital. While we intend to grow our business quickly on a regional basis through acquisitions in the near term, we are also committed to creating operational efficiencies in our existing operations so that our business can grow organically as well.
     In the initial stages of our long-term growth plan, acquisitions have played and will continue to play a primary role. The management team has substantial experience in identifying, initiating and closing acquisitions, having completed 20 acquisitions since 1989. Our objective is to pursue only acquisition targets that are in harmony with current operations while being accretive to earnings. Our commitment is to acquire institutional long-term care and infusion therapy pharmacies, and integrate them into our national, centralized operations model (which includes national, centralized pricing). At the same time, we afford the target companies economies of scale and reduction of overhead by providing services such as legal, accounting, marketing and business development, human resources and information technology services which are easily applied across all operational units.
     Since entering the long term care sector in 2005, we generally pursue acquisitions of businesses with strong historical revenue and earnings performance, and with a committed existing management team willing to actively participate in the continued operations of the company post-acquisition and to grow their operational unit approximately 15% per year. Our intent is to maintain the integrity and heritage of the acquired business while providing resources to enable management to invest more time in generating operating revenue. In this way, the local business unit operators can improve patient satisfaction in addition to enhancing the development of their personnel and the refinement of their business processes.
     We expect target EBITDA post-closing for acquired entities to range from 8-10% of revenues depending on the type of pharmacy acquired.
     We generally finance our acquisitions with a combination of cash, equity and seller financing (usually through a promissory note). This structure enables us to align our long-term expectations and incentives with those of the existing management. We believe the formation of UHCC will enhance our ability to generate debt and equity financing to become profitable and grow.

Critical Accounting Policies
Overview
     The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, management is required to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of commitments and contingencies. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the estimates used, including those related to bad debts, contractual allowances, inventory valuation, impairment of intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, legal contingencies and other operating allowances and accruals. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time and under the current circumstances. The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
     In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require significant management 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. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it is important to the Company’s financial position and operating results, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and the related assumptions are evaluated periodically as conditions require revision. Application of the critical accounting policies requires management’s significant judgments, often as the result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently and highly uncertain. If actual results were to differ materially from the judgments and estimates made, the Company’s reported financial position and/or operating results could be materially affected. Management continually reviews these estimates and assumptions to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly and are materially correct. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies and estimates involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
     Revenue is recognized by the Company when products or services are delivered or provided to the customer. The Company monitors its revenues and receivables and records the estimated net expected sales and receivable balances to properly account for anticipated reimbursed amounts. Accordingly, the total net sales and receivables reported in the Company’s financial statements are recorded at the amount ultimately expected to be received. Since a majority of our billing functions are computerized, enabling on-line adjudication (i.e., submitting charges to Medicaid, Medicare, or other third-party payors electronically, with simultaneous feedback of the amount to be paid) at the time of sale to record net revenues, exposure to estimating contractual allowance adjustments is limited primarily to unbilled and/or initially rejected claims (which oftentimes are eventually approved once additional information is provided to the payor). Accounts receivables and revenues are adjusted to actual as cash is received and claims are settled.
     Patient co-payments are associated with certain state Medicaid programs, Medicare Part B and certain third party payors and are typically not collected at the time products are delivered or services are rendered, but are billed to the individual as part of the Company’s normal billing procedures. These co-payments are subject to the Company’s normal accounts receivable collections procedures.
     A patient may be dispensed prescribed medications (typically no more than a 2-3 day supply) prior to insurance being verified in emergency situations, or for new facility admissions after hours or on weekends. Shortly thereafter, specific payor information is typically obtained to ensure that the proper payor is billed for reimbursement.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     Collection of accounts receivable from customers is the Company’s primary source of operating cash flow and is critical to the Company’s operating performance. The Company provides for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The Company utilizes the “Aging Method” to evaluate the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. This method is based upon applying estimated standard allowance requirement percentages to each accounts receivable aging category for each type of payor. The Company has developed estimated standard allowance requirement percentages by utilizing historical collection trends and its understanding of the nature and collectibility of receivables in the various aging categories and the various payors of the Company’s business. The standard allowance percentages are developed by payor type as the accounts receivable from each payor type have unique characteristics. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined utilizing the Aging Method described above while also considering accounts specifically identified as doubtful. Accounts receivable that Company management specifically estimates to be doubtful, based upon the age of the receivables, the results of collection efforts, or other circumstances, are reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts until they are collected or written-off.
     Management reviews this allowance on an ongoing basis for appropriateness. Judgment is used to assess the collectibility of account balances and the economic ability of customers to pay.
     The majority of our current accounts receivable relates to recently acquired businesses. Therefore we have limited historical collection experience on those businesses.
     The Company has policies and procedures for collection of its accounts receivable. The Company’s collection efforts generally include the mailing of statements, followed up when necessary with delinquency notices, personal and other contacts, in-house collections or outside collection agencies, and potentially litigation when accounts are considered material and unresponsive. The Company’s collection efforts primarily relate to its facility and private pay customers. When the Company becomes aware that a specific customer is potentially unable to meet part or all of its financial obligations, for example, as a result of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, the Company includes the balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts requirements. When a balance is deemed uncollectible by management, collections agencies and/or outside legal counsel, the balance is manually written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
     Management believes that the allowances for potential losses are adequate, but if several of the Company’s larger customers were to unexpectedly default on their obligations, the Company’s overall allowances for potential losses may prove to be inadequate. If economic conditions worsen, the payor mix shifts significantly, or the Company’s customers’ reimbursement rates are adversely affected, impacting the Company’s customers’ ability to pay, management may adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly, and the Company’s accounts receivable collections, cash flows, financial position and results of operations could be affected.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
     The balance of our goodwill and intangible assets was $2.4 million at December 31, 2006. The recovery of goodwill is dependent on the fair value of the businesses to which it relates. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), goodwill is subject to at least annual impairment tests based on the estimated fair value of the business units. There are numerous assumptions and estimates underlying the determination of the estimated fair value of these businesses. The Company’s assessment of goodwill impairment requires estimates including estimates of future cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows are based on assumptions and projections with respect to future revenues and expenses believed to be reasonable and supportable at the time the annual impairment analysis is performed. Further, they require management’s subjective judgments and take into account assumptions about overall growth rates and increases in expenses. Changes in these estimates due to unforeseen events and circumstances could cause the Company’s analysis to indicate that goodwill is impaired in subsequent periods, and could result in the write-off of a portion or all of the Company’s goodwill, which could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Different valuation methods and assumptions can produce significantly different results that could affect the amount of any potential impairment charge that might be required to be recognized. The Company has used independent valuation firm to assist in determining the estimated fair market value of some of its now discontinued reporting units. If that estimated value is not sufficient to cover the recorded balance of goodwill, an impairment charge is recognized. Charges of $1.2 million, $2.8 million and $1.0 million resulting from the impairment of goodwill were recorded in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as part of discontinued operations.
     We amortize the cost of our other intangibles over the asset’s estimated useful life of three to seven years. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the assets may not be fully realizable. The carrying value of the assets would then be compared to the undiscounted cash flows projected from the use of the assets and if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values.
Stock-Based Compensation
     Through December 31, 2005, we recorded compensation expense for all employee and director stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method, stock compensation expense is defined as the difference between the amount payable upon exercise of an option and the quoted market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant or measurement date. Any resulting compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. We then compute an estimated fair value of granted options using a Black-Scholes option valuation model for purposes of disclosing pro forma information regarding granted options.
     Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted a new accounting policy that requires the fair value of stock options to be expensed over the vesting period. We continue to use a Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine fair value.
     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.
     The valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of the Company’s common stock (as determined by reviewing its historical public market closing prices). Black-Scholes utilizes other assumptions related to the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life of the grants is derived from historical factors.

Conversion Features and Common Stock Warrants
     Certain provisions of the conversion features contained in the Company’s outstanding 2006 6% convertible notes required the Company to separate the value of certain derivatives from this debt and record such value as a separate liability, which must be marked-to-market each balance sheet date. Future period fair value adjustments to the derivatives could result in further gains or losses. To compute the estimated value of the derivatives, the Company used an outside appraisal which included various assumptions, including those used in a Black-Sholes model. Additionally, these conversion features required that all outstanding common stock purchase warrants be fair valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, and recorded as a liability with corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital. The liability must be marked-to-market each balance sheet. Future period fair value adjustments to the warrant liability could result in further gains or losses.
Income Taxes
     Our income tax expense includes deferred income taxes arising from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and capital and net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing the realization of our deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of our deferred income tax assets depends upon generating future taxable income during the periods in which our temporary differences become deductible and capital gains before our capital loss carryforwards expire. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred income tax assets by assessing the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. If we determine that it is more likely than not that our deferred income tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance will be established against some or all of our deferred income tax assets. This could have a significant effect on our future results of operations and financial position.
     A $27.9 million valuation allowance has been provided on our full net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2006. We reached this conclusion after considering the availability of taxable income in prior carryback years, tax planning strategies, and the likelihood of future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. If or when the Company becomes profitable, management may determine that all or a portion of this valuation allowance is not required and, if so, the Company will record benefits, which could be substantial, in the period such determinations are made.
     We also believe that are capital and net operating losses as of December 31, 2006 are likely to be limited pursuant to current income tax regulations regarding ownership changes occurring in March 2007.

General:
          Our continuing operations reflect the results of our one remaining pharmacy operation, Precision, whose profitability is primarily a function of gross margin on sales (the difference between sales and cost of sales) and management of its operating expenses. Other continuing operating results primarily include our corporate service functions.
Net revenues:
  During 2006, sales increased $5.2 million or 137% from 2005 to $9.0 million, primarily due to Precision being acquired at the end of July of 2005 and therefore having only five (5) months of activity included in 2005.
Gross profit:
  During 2006, gross profit increased $1.6 million or 250% from 2005 to $2.6 million, primarily due to Precision being acquired at the end of July of 2005, and, therefore, having only five (5) months of activity included in 2005. Gross margin was approximately 28% in both years.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses:
  During 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million or 12.6% from 2005 to $11.0 million, primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in Precision, it having been acquired at the end of July 2005, and, therefore, having only five (5) months of activity included in 2005. Corporate expenses were up $.1 million or 1% from 2005. On June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Paul B. (Pete) Pheffer, its former executive officer and director, whereby Mr. Pheffer agreed to accept three settlement payments totaling $900,000 in full settlement of his claims against the Company. This expense was offset by reductions to Payroll ($.4), advertising ($.2), and other miscellaneous expenses ($.2).
 
  During 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million or 16.3% increase from 2004 to $9.7 million, due to the acquisition of Precision ($.9 million) and a $0.4 million in professional fees.
Impacts related to value of warrants and derivatives:
     As a result of certain terms of conversion features on debt issued in 2006, certain derivatives embedded in that debt and all outstanding warrants to acquire stock have been reflected as liabilities of the Company, which require market to market adjustments each balance sheet date. In addition, due to other features of convertible debt issued in 2005, associated warrants have also been reflected as liabilities which require similar adjustments.
Depreciation and amortization:
  During 2006, depreciation and amortization decreased $.1 million from 2005 due to the sale of assets to Standard Life in mid 2005.
 
  During 2005, depreciation decreased $.5 million from 2004 due to the sales of assets to Standard Life in mid 2005.
Other income, net:
  During 2006, other income increased $5.3 million due primarily of the conversion of the Trust Preferred Stock. In June 2006, the Company completed an exchange offer for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities which allowed all Trust Preferred Security holders to exchange their Trust Preferred Securities for six (6) shares of common stock of Standard Management. The Company received tenders for 1,112,341 shares or 53.7% of outstanding Trust Preferred Securities by the expiration date of the offer to exchange. On June 30, 2006, as a result of the exchange offer, the Company issued 6,674,046 shares of its common stock valued at $1.8 million in exchange for $11.1 million of the Trust Preferred Securities and $.6 million of related deferred interest, which in turn, reduced the outstanding balance of the subordinated debentures and accrued interest by like amounts. After the write off of a pro rata portion of previously-unamortized deferred financing fees and the costs of the transaction, the Company recorded a $9.2 million gain upon the exchange as a component of Other Income, net in June 2006.
 
    This 2006 gain was partially offset by a $2.8 million loss on the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock and $1.3 million of expenses related to unsuccessful acquisitions and financings.
 
  During 2005, other income increased $.9 million from 2004 to $1.1 million primarily due to rental income and dividend income received from Standard Life after its sale in June 2005. Additionally the increase is also attributable to interest income earned from the net cash proceeds from the sale of Standard Life.

24


Table of Contents

Interest expense:
  During 2006, interest expense increased $.5 million or 11% from 2005 to $4.8 million primarily due to the cost of short term borrowing during 2006 more than offsetting the impact of paying off debt with proceeds from asset sales and converting $11.1 million of 10.25% debt into common shares in June 2006.
 
  During 2005, interest expense decreased $0.1 million or 3% from 2004 to $4.3 million, primarily due to the repayment of our senior secured credit facility after the sale of Standard Life in June 2005, offset partially by a full year of interest in 2005 on $6.1 million of convertible debt issued in 2004 and $4.8 million of convertible debt issued in March 2005.
Income tax provision:
  Provision for income taxes remained zero due to continued net losses in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and a 100% valuation allowance against all resulting net deferred income tax assets.
Discontinued Operations:
     In 2006, the $11.7 million loss on discontinued operations were comprised of results for Long Term Rx ($.9 million gain), Rainier ($4.8 million loss), PCA ($.5 million loss), Home Med ($7.0 million loss), and Financial Services ($.3 million loss).
     In 2005, other than $0.3 million of loss in 2003 which related to a sales price adjustment on the 2002 sale of our international financial services business, the reported results from discontinued operations related to our previous domestic financial services business which was sold in June 2005, and pharmacy operations sold or discontinued during 2006 and early 2007. The 2005 loss includes a $36.6 million impairment charge resulting from the sale of the financial services business for which no tax benefit has been recorded. Other than this charge, this business had net income of $2.6 million and $9.8 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Pharmacy operations for 2005 and 2004 were net losses of $7.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
          Our independent auditors have expressed “substantial doubt” about our ability to continue as a going concern based on our recurring losses from continuing operations and the possibility that we may not have adequate financing to meet all of our near term cash requirements.
          Our net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $11.0 million compared to cash used of $11.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations in 2006 and 2005 is mainly attributable to expenses associated with the continued development of our pharmacy operating platform, as well as interest expense and salary expense at the holding company level.
          Our net cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $18.5 million compared to cash provided of $36.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in 2006 is primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of Standard Life in 2005 exceeding the proceeds from the sale of pharmacy operations in 2006 somewhat offset by $11.2 million of cash used in 2005 to acquire pharmacy operations.
          Our net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $8.6 million compared to net cash used of $24.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The 2005 net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was mainly attributable to the repayment and termination of our senior credit facility upon the sale of Standard Life partially offset by increased borrowings under convertible notes issued in 2005.

          Our net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $11.5 million compared to cash used of $12.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. The net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations in 2005 and 2004 is mainly attributable to expenses associated with the continued development of our pharmacy operating platform, as well as interest expense and salary expense at the holding company level.
          Our net cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $36.9 million compared to cash used of $1.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in 2005 is primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of Standard Life, partially offset by cash used as part of the consideration of our recent acquisitions.
          Our net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $24.8 million compared to net cash provided of $13.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. The 2005 net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was mainly attributable to the repayment and termination of our senior credit facility upon the sale of Standard Life partially offset by increased borrowings under convertible notes issued in 2005. The 2004 net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was mainly attributable to borrowings and cash received from our discontinued operations and increased borrowings under convertible notes issued in 2004.
          Our principal cash requirements are for cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and debt service obligations. Our primary sources of such cash are cash flow from pharmaceutical sales, external borrowings, and sales of equity securities.
          During 2006 and early 2007, we took the following actions in our efforts to maximize cash in-flows, reduce cash requirements, and generally provide adequate cash resources to meet our operating needs.
  In April 2006, we borrowed $2.8 million from one of our then officers. We repaid this debt with proceeds from borrowings of $2.8 million from a then director in July 2006. This debt was repaid as well as an additional $1 million borrowed from and due to this individual as financing fees at various times throughout the second half of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 with proceeds generally from the sale of pharmacy operations and our common stock.
 
  On March 8, 2006, we announced that we elected to defer distributions, beginning March 31, 2006, on the 10.25% preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) of our subsidiary SMAN Capital Trust I for up to two (2) years, with the ability to defer up to five (5) years. All unpaid distributions will accrue interest at the rate of 10.25% annually until paid.
 
  In June 2006 the Company completed an exchange offer for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities which allowed all Trust Preferred Security holders to exchange their Trust Preferred Securities for six (6) shares of common stock of Standard Management. The Company received tenders for 1,112,341 shares or 53.7% of outstanding Trust Preferred Securities by the expiration date of the offer to exchange. On June 30, 2006, as a result of the exchange offer, the Company issued 6,674,046 shares of its common stock valued at $1.8 million in exchange for $11.1 million of the Trust Preferred Securities and $.6 million of related deferred interest, which in turn, reduced the outstanding balance of the subordinated debentures and accrued interest by like amounts. After the write off of a pro rata portion of previously-unamortized deferred financing fees and the costs of the transaction, the Company recorded a $9.2 million gain upon the exchange as a component of Other Income, net in June 2006.
 
  In early 2006, the Company announced efforts to offer up to $15 million shares of its common stock for sale to accredited investors in a series of one or more private placements. Through December 31, 2006, the Company issued 1,491,340 shares of common stock along with warrants to acquire up to an additional 447,402 shares of common stock (inclusive of certain issuances which we later reacquired by the Company at the same price) for $630,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold an additional 21,850,000 shares and warrants to acquire up to 55,500 shares for $2,185,000 under this same program.
 
  In May 2006, the Company sold unimproved real estate south of its corporate headquarters in Indianapolis for $1.1 million to a then director of the Company. Proceeds were mandatorily used to pay down indebtedness that had been secured by the real estate. This pay down resulted in almost no further scheduled maturity payments of this indebtedness for the remainder of 2006.

  In June 2006, the Company received a net $1.0 million payment from Capital Assurance upon the redemption of the 7% cumulative preferred stock it had received from Capital Assurance as partial consideration in the 2005 sale of its financial services business. Concurrent with the redemption, Capital Assurance assumed all outstanding litigation related to that business allowing the Company to eliminate approximately $800,000 of previously-established litigation reserves.
 
  During the third and fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, the Company sold substantially all of the pharmacy operations it had acquired from 2002 through 2006. Aggregate sales proceeds received as of March 31, 2007 of $16.2 million have been used primarily to pay down short term borrowings and other general corporate purposes.
 
  In August 2006, the Company settled various disputes with the previous owners of one of its pharmacy operations resulting in the payment by the Company of $5.5 million to reacquire Company shares issued upon the acquisition and Company shares and debts issued to parties affiliated with the previous owners in subsequent transactions and settle earn out and bonus disputes. This payment was funded from proceeds received in the concurrent sale by the Company of these pharmacy operations.
 
  In March 2007, the Company issued 20 million shares of its common stock to Mr. Sam Schmidt for $2.0 million, providing Mr. Schmidt with a 52.6% interest in the Company. Proceeds were used primarily to pay off short term borrowings and other general corporate purposes.
 
  Management has created a new subsidiary, Universal HealthCare Company, LLC (“UHCC”), through which it intends to attract unrelated investors and lenders to fund future acquisitions of pharmacy operations, including Precision from Standard Management. Management expects that Standard Management’s ultimate ownership of UHCC will be approximately 24% as a result of future equity financing by these investors. Standard Management is the Managing Member of UHCC pursuant to a Management Agreement under which it has substantial influence and control of the operations of the acquired businesses. In return, Standard Management will receive guaranteed and performance based fees from UHCC. These fees are expected to provide Standard Management with the funding necessary to support its operations as a management company.
 
  Management also continues to explore other sources of funding and new business opportunities, which ,will enable the Company to continue its operations and become profitable. However, the Company can not provide any assurance that such funding or business opportunities will be consummated.
     Cash requirements for 2007 and beyond include substantial debt service costs as reflected in the Contractual Obligations table below. The Company’s current debt obligations are more fully described in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements and include mortgage notes of $5.7 million with $5.5 million due in 2008, various promissory notes of $1.8 million largely due in 2007, convertible notes of $9.8 million due through 2009 and subordinated trust preferred securities of $9.6 million due in 2031. We expect to finance our debt obligations with proceeds from the sale of Precision Healthcare, management fees from UHCC, the potential refinancing of our corporate headquarters, and new debt and equity financings.
Future Acquisitions:
          As part of our growth plan, we continue to pursue strategic acquisitions through Universal HealthCare Company, LLC as discussed under “Business of Standard Management — Our Growth/Acquisition Strategy.” We generally finance our acquisitions with a combination of cash, stock and seller promissory notes. We will require cash to consummate acquisitions, but cannot at this time predict how much cash will be needed because of the unknown nature of acquisition targets and purchase prices.

Equity Guarantee:
     We have guaranteed the equity portion of the purchase price in our acquisition of Precision Healthcare. The guaranteed value related to Precision Healthcare acquisition was $1.0 million representing 304,878 shares at a $3.28 stock price. Should our common stock price continue to be below the guaranteed price on the applicable 2007 anniversary date, we are required to pay the difference to the sellers in cash or in additional shares of common stock at our option.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
     The financial statements and supplementary data required with respect to this Item 8 are listed on page F-1 and included in a separate section of this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
     None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
    The Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weakness identified as of such date described below. Notwithstanding the existence of the material weakness described below, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented.
 
b)   Material Weakness in Internal Controls and Procedures
 
    During the later part of 2006, the Company was in the final stages of a major transition in business operations as described earlier in this report. One of the results of this transition was the Company entering into substantial, non-routine accounting transactions which required a higher level of accounting knowledge to complete. This situation, combined with the loss of certain accounting personnel, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, during the same time period, resulted in the Company not having, as of December 31, 2006, a sufficient complement of personnel with the requisite level of accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to properly analyze, review, monitor and record these more complicated and certain other accounting transactions. This material weakness lead to delays and correction of previously-recorded amounts while finalizing the 2006 financial statements. As a result, we have concluded that there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual financial statements may not have been prevented or could have gone undetected as part of the financial statement closing process for 2006.
 
c)   Company’s Response to Material Weakness
 
    The Company hired its Principal Accounting Officer, Dan Calvert, late in 2006. As such, his experience with the Company as of December 31, 2006 and the year end closing process was limited. Mr. Calvert has over twenty five years of financial and accounting management experience in both private and public companies combined with graduate study in finance and accounting. The closing process itself has significantly increased his awareness of the Company’s historical and contemplated routine and non routine transactions. On April 17, 2007, the Company replaced its corporate controller. Mike Cleary has over ten years of experience developing accounting staffs and systems in private and public companies. The Company continues to emphasize the development and training of its accounting staff and its commitment to make available accounting research tools necessary to assess complex accounting issues in the future.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Standard Management Corporation
Indianapolis, Indiana
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Standard Management Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included in the financial statement schedule on page S-1. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement and schedule presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Standard Management Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from continuing operations and may not have adequate financing to meet all of its near-term operating needs. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
     As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised), “Share Based Payment.”
     Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

STANDARD MANAGEMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
     Standard Management Corporation (“Standard Management”) is an Indianapolis-based company that, and through it’s subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”), provides pharmaceutical products and services to the healthcare industry. As of April 2007, the Company owned and operated one pharmacy in Tennessee. The Company is seeking to acquire, through a newly formed entity Universal HealthCare Company, LLC (“UHCC”), other existing pharmacies to expand its business. Ultimately, the Company intends to manage regional and other institutional pharmacies to provide pharmaceuticals to long-term care and infusion therapy facilities.
     The Company had previously operated additional pharmacies and an insurance business. However, as more fully described in Notes 3 and 5, the Company sold or closed those operations during 2005 and 2006 and, accordingly, has reflected those businesses as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As a result of the discontinuance, the Company now reports within a single operating segment, which includes all of its previously separately reported corporate services functions. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, the Company, has reclassified certain amounts from the prior periods to conform to the 2006 presentation and to reflect its discontinued operations separately from its continuing operations. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss or shareholders’ equity (deficit).
     Based on current estimates of cash flow, management believes that, absent a significant additional cash infusion or significantly increased cash flow from operations, at some point within the next several months, the Company may not have sufficient cash to meet its operating and debt service requirements. The Company, as of December 31, 2006, has a shareholders’ deficit of $15.1 million and a working capital deficit of $5.8 million. This situation raises “substantial doubt” about the Company’s ability to continue s a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
     In response to this situation, during the third quarter of 2006, the Company realigned its expense structure, resulting in the retirement or resignations of four executives and, if applicable, their related employment agreements. Related severance expenses and post-termination consulting fees of $0.4 million are reflected as additional selling, general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2006.
     Additionally, in 2007, Standard Management entered into a Management Agreement whereby Standard Management will act as the manager of the pharmaceutical operations expected to be acquired by UHCC. Standard Management’s ownership in UHCC is expected to be diluted to approximately 24% in connection with equity financing from unrelated parties to fund the expected acquisitions. Standard Management is expected to earn guaranteed and performance based management fees based on operating results of the acquired pharmacy operations. Management expects that this new investment and financial structure will provide adequate financial support to complete the Company’s development plans.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition / Contractual Allowances
     Revenues are recognized at the time services or products are provided or delivered to the customer. Upon delivery of products or services, the Company has no additional performance obligations to the customer. The Company receives payments through reimbursement from private third-party insurers, long-term care facilities, and Medicaid and Medicare programs and directly from individual residents (private pay).
     The Company records an estimated contractual allowance against non-private pay revenues and accounts receivable. Accordingly, the net revenues and accounts receivable reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amount expected to be received. Contractual allowances are adjusted to actual as cash is received and claims are reconciled. The Company evaluates the following criteria in developing the estimated contractual allowance percentages each month: historical contractual allowance trends based on actual claims paid by third party payors; reviews of contractual allowance information reflecting current contract terms; consideration and analysis of changes in customer base, product mix, payor mix reimbursement levels or other issues that may impact contractual allowances.
Cash Equivalents
     Short-term investments that have a maturity of 90 days or less at acquisition are considered cash equivalents. Investments in cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     The Company utilizes the “Aging Method” to evaluate the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. This method is based upon applying estimated standard allowance requirement percentages to each accounts receivable aging category for each type of payor. The Company has developed estimated standard allowance requirement percentages by utilizing historical collection trends and its understanding of the nature and collectibility of receivables in the various aging categories and the various payors of the Company’s business. The standard allowance percentages are developed by payor type as the accounts receivable from each payor type have unique characteristics. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined utilizing the Aging Method described above while also considering accounts specifically identified as doubtful. Accounts receivable that Company management specifically estimates to be doubtful, based upon the age of the receivables, the results of collection efforts, or other circumstances, are reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts until they are collected or written-off.
     Management believes the assumptions used in the Aging Method suggest the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. However, because the assumptions underlying the Aging Method are based upon historical data, there is a risk that the Company’s current assumptions are not reflective of future collection patterns. Changes in overall collection patterns can be caused by market conditions and/or budgetary constraints of government funded programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Such changes can adversely impact the collectibility of receivables, but may not be addressed in a timely fashion when using the Aging Method, until updates to the Company’s periodic historical collection studies are completed and implemented.
     At least annually, the Company updates its historical collection studies in order to evaluate the propriety of the assumptions underlying the Aging Method. Any changes to the underlying assumptions or impact of adverse events are implemented immediately. Changes to these assumptions can have a material impact on the Company’s bad debt expense, which is reported in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Concentration of Credit Risk
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

F-9


Table of Contents

     The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or issuers of cash and cash equivalents to the extent recorded on the balance sheet. At any given point in time, the Company has cash on deposit with financial institutions, and cash invested in high quality short-term money market funds and U.S. government-backed repurchase agreements, generally having original maturities of three months or less, in order to minimize its credit risk.
     The Company establishes allowances for doubtful accounts based on historical credit losses and specifically identified credit risks. Management reviews this allowance on an ongoing basis for appropriateness, and such losses have been within management’s expectations. For the year ended December 31, 2006, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues. The Company generally does not require collateral.
Inventories and Cost of Revenues
     Inventories, consisting of pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and equipment, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined primarily on the first-in, first-out method.
     Counts of inventories on hand are performed at least on a quarterly basis. Because the Company does not utilize a perpetual inventory system on a significant percentage of its inventory, cost of goods sold, a component of cost of revenues, is estimated using the latest acquisition cost and adjusted to actual by recording the results of the quarterly count of actual physical inventories.
     Recorded obsolescence allowances are not significant since the Company writes off all expired inventories and the Company has the ability to return a majority of its inventory before expiration.
     Cost of revenue include the net product costs of pharmaceuticals sold and direct charges attributable to providing revenue-generating services.
Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets
     Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method in amounts considered sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets to operations over their estimated service lives or lease terms which range from three to ten years for equipment and leasehold improvements and 40 years for our headquarters building which represents our most significant asset in this category. Intangible assets are all amortized over their estimated useful lives of seven years for customer lists, seven years for trademarks and three years for non-compete agreements.
     Long-lived assets or groups of assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the asset’s carrying amount. When events or changes in circumstances dictate an impairment review of a long-lived asset or group, the Company will evaluate recoverability and determine whether the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of that asset or group cover the carrying value at the evaluation date. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to cover the carrying value, the Company will measure any impairment loss as the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or group over its fair value (generally determined by a discounted cash flows model or independent appraisals).
Assets Held For Sale
     Assets held for sale represent investment properties and improvements carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Table of Contents

Deferred Financing Costs
     Financing costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis when it approximates the effective interest method or otherwise, on the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the related debt.
Other Non-current Asset and Liabilities
     Other non-current assets primarily represent fixed maturity securities and equity investments in support of insurance policy liabilities (other non-current liabilities) the Company continues to retain after the sale of its Financial Services operations. Gross unrealized gains and losses are not material. Changes in the fair value of these available for sale securities, other than impairments deemed to be other than temporary, are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). The fixed maturity securities mature in 2008.
Legal fees
     Upon identification of litigation matters against the Company that are likely to result in significant defense costs, the Company, based on discussions with internal and external counsels, estimates and provides for the expected defense costs.
Income Taxes
     Income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and for estimated tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is enacted. A valuation reserve is recognized based on the evidence available, if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred income tax asset will not be realized.
     The Company files a consolidated return for federal income tax purposes.
Net Loss Per Common Share
     Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated in a similar manner consistent with basic earnings (loss) per share but also include the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants under the treasury stock method as well as the effect of convertible notes using the if converted method. As the Company reported losses for each period presented herein, no common stock equivalents were considered in the related computation of diluted loss per share. Common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were convertible or exercisable into 55,371,942, 8,094,215, and 4,523,259 shares, respectively.

Stock Option Plans
     Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), applying the modified prospective method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), as amended, allowing companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue the earlier practice of accounting for stock options at intrinsic value and disclose the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share had the fair value of the options been expensed. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R) and applying the modified prospective method, SFAS(R) applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding as of December 31, 2005 that are subsequently vested, modified, repurchased or cancelled. Compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 includes the portion vesting during the period for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123. There were no new awards granted during the year ended December 2006. Stock compensation expense of $38,000 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 on existing stock option awards. As a result of the Company’s decision to adopt the modified prospective method, prior period results have not been restated.
     The following table shows the result in pro forma net loss from continuing operations and pro forma loss per share from continuing operations based on fair value at the grant date, which is consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

  $ (1.49 )   $ (1.89 )
Basic and diluted — pro forma
  $ (1.60 )   $ (1.91 )
     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    2005     2004  
Risk-free interest rates
  4.1%     3.1%  
Volatility factors
  0.44     0.44  
Weighted average expected life
  5 years     5 years  
Dividend yield
  0.0%     0.0%  
These key assumptions are summarized as follows:
Risk-free interest rate – Based on the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options.
Volatility factors – Based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for the expected term of the stock options, excluding periods prior to the Company’s sale of Standard Life.
Expected life – Based on historical experience.
Dividend yield – Based on historical experience and future expectations.

     In addition, the Company does not estimate any forfeitures as it expects future forfeitures to be minimal.
     During the third quarter of 2005, the Company re-priced the stated exercise price on certain options from $6.063 to $2.05, which was the market price on the date of adjustment. Pursuant to then-current accounting provisions, this re-pricing constituted a new stock option grant and required variable plan accounting for the related options. As these stock options had no intrinsic value at the re-pricing date or at December 31, 2005, no compensation expense was recorded for 2005. Adoption of FASB 123(R) on January 1, 2006, eliminated the use of variable plan accounting.
     SFAS 123 (R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs to be reported as cash flows for financing activities rather than as cash flows from operations. The Company has had no net income impact related to stock compensation expense or exercising of stock options primarily due to the Company maintaining a full valuation allowance against its net deferred income tax assets.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practices requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The carrying value of all financial instruments such as accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. See Note 6 for estimates of fair value of the Company’s debt instruments. Warrants and certain derivative instruments embedded in convertible debt agreements are carried as liabilities at their fair values.
NOTE 3 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – FINANCIAL SERVICES
     On June 9, 2005, the Company completed the sale of all outstanding capital stock of its former insurance operations, Standard Life Insurance Company of Indiana (“Standard Life”) and its subsidiary, and $27 million aggregate principal amount of surplus debentures issued by Standard Life in favor of the Company, to Capital Assurance Corporation (“Capital Assurance”). The purchase price was approximately $79.8 million, consisting of $52.5 million in cash, $5 million in a new class of 7% cumulative exchangeable preferred stock of Capital Assurance (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the assumption by Capital Assurance of approximately $22.3 million of indebtedness of the Company. In addition, Standard Management purchased certain assets from Standard Life at closing for approximately $5.3 million, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $47.2 million. The sales price was subject to post-closing adjustment. Capital Assurance entered into a renewable lease of space in the Company’s corporate headquarters for $480,000 per year through June 2008 with options for three additional years.
     The Company agreed to indemnify Capital Assurance and Standard Life for any losses arising from breaches of any representation, warranty or covenant of Standard Management made in the sale agreement subject to the applicable survival periods, if such losses exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. In addition, Standard Management agreed to indemnify Capital Assurance for all pending litigation of Standard Life without respect to the indemnification threshold.
     Related to the sale of Standard Life, the Company estimates that, for federal income tax purposes, the Company will recognize a capital loss on the sale of approximately $22 million, equal to the difference between its adjusted tax basis in Standard Life and the amount realized from the sale. The Company may realize a tax benefit in future periods from this capital loss provided that it recognizes capital gains within five years. However, as it is currently more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized, the Company has fully offset any potential benefit with a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2005.

     The Company used a portion of the $47.2 million of cash proceeds to a) pay off $17.7 million of bank debt, including prepayment penalties, b) pay $1.0 million related to obtaining a consent from the holders of the trust preferred securities described in Note 6 to effectively allow the Company to complete the sale of Standard Life and c) pay $3.5 million of professional fees (investment bankers, attorneys and accountants) and miscellaneous other costs related to the sale (printing and mailing of proxy materials and severance payments). The remaining cash proceeds were added to general working capital and have been used for general corporate purposes and pharmacy acquisitions.
     On June 29, 2006, the Company entered into a Redemption Agreement with Capital Assurance whereby for a gross payment of $1.5 million to the Company (a net of $1.0 million after the deduction of certain agreed upon amounts), the parties agreed upon the terms for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. The net redemption price of $1.0 million was paid to the Company by Capital Assurance in June 2006. As additional consideration for the redemption, Capital Assurance agreed to release and discharge the Company from any further indemnification obligations relating to all pending legal actions against Standard Life. The agreement to release the Company from the indemnification obligations for these legal actions allowed the Company to remove approximately $800,000 in legal reserves from its financial statements as of June 30, 2006. The Company and Capital Assurance also agreed to resolve all issues with respect to a pending action concerning an adjustment to the purchase price for the sale of Standard Life and to dismiss the action with prejudice. Finally, the parties agreed to terminate the Pledge Agreement that was executed by the parties in June 2005 as part of the sale of Standard Life. The Company realized a $2.8 million loss on the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock (included in Other income, net). Additionally, the Company realized a $300,000 loss from discontinued operations upon settlement of the purchase price adjustment dispute with Capital Assurance. This $300,000 loss is included in reported losses from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 4 – Pharmacy Business Acquisitions
     During 2005, the Company acquired four pharmacy operations referred to herein as Rainier, Holland, Precision and Long Term Rx. During 2004, the Company acquired two pharmacy operations referred to herein as RoyalMed and Apothecary.
     During 2003, the Company acquired the business assets of MyDoc.com for $645,000 paid in the form of cash of $145,000 and a seller note of $500,000. Additionally, in 2003, the Company acquired the stock of Medical Care & Outcomes, LLC (“MCO”) with $4 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company later sold MCO back to the original owners (other than a 5% interest valued at $160,000) in April 2004. The Company recognized a loss on the sale and related severance costs for a prior owner/employee of $964,000 (included now in discontinued operations). This divestiture resulted in the return of the Company’s common stock and therefore a direct decrease to equity in April 2004 of $4 million. In 2006, due to the underperformance of MCO, the Company wrote off its $160,000 investment.
     The aggregate purchase price of the 2005 acquisitions was $18.3 million (excluding $0.8 million of acquisition costs), representing $12.7 million in cash, 1,250,001 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $4.1 million, and $1.5 million in a seller note. The aggregate purchase price of the 2004 acquisitions was $4.0 million, representing $0.8 million in cash paid at closing, 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.3 million, and $2.9 million of assumed debt and a seller note. The Company guaranteed the market value of $3.28 per share of some of the common stock issued in the 2005 acquisitions and $7.00 per share for the RoyalMed acquisition at certain anniversary dates. Those guaranteed values are included in the purchase prices reflected above. The guarantee related to the Rainier acquisition was settled as part of the Tran Settlement described in Note 5. In May 2006 and May 2005, the Company settled the RoyalMed guarantees by issuing 116,456 share of its common stock valued at $96,659 (based on the settlement date’s market price) and $84,000 in cash, respectively.
     The operating results of these acquired operations are included in the consolidated results of the Company commencing on their respective acquisition dates. See Note 5 regarding the sale or closure of several of these and previously-acquired pharmacies.
     During 2006, the Company expensed in excess of $1,325,000 related to terminated acquisition agreements which were not concluded due to lack of financing and terminated financing transactions which were not consummated. These expenses are included in other income, net.
Note 5 — Discontinued Operations — Pharmacy Services
     On August 11, 2006, the Company sold certain rights, properties and assets of Rainier and Holland to Omnicare, Inc. (“Omnicare”). At the closing, Omnicare agreed to pay the Company an aggregate purchase price of up to $13.2 million and assumed certain liabilities of Rainier and Holland valued at $750,000. Of the purchase price, (1) $12.0 million in cash was paid by Omnicare at the closing, (2) $700,000 was held back pending a potential post-closing adjustment to be measured against a specified historical value of the purchased net assets , and (3) up to $520,000 could have been earned based on a calculation defined in the sales agreement.. The Company also agreed to grant Omnicare a three year right of first refusal for the purchase of any other pharmacy businesses of the Company. The Company recorded an original loss on the sale of $3.6 million, including its estimate of the eventual holdback payment to be received or paid and without consideration of the contingent purchase price of $520,000.

     Concurrently with the sale of Rainier and Holland, on August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with John Tac Hung Tran, Cynthia J. Wareing-Tran and The Jonathan Tran Irrevocable Trust (collectively, the “Trans”), who were the former owners of Rainier. The Settlement Agreement resolved all disputes among the parties with respect to, among other matters, a promissory note granted by the Company to the Trans as part of the consideration for the acquisition, the amount of bonus and earn-out payments owed to Mr. Tran under the terms of his Employment Agreement with Rainier and certain leases entered into with the Trans as part of the acquisition. Under the settlement, the Company has paid the Trans approximately $5.5 million, of which approximately $1.5 million was for the repayment of the promissory note, $1.0 million for the disputed earn-out payments, $150,000 for the disputed bonus payment, $2.5 million to redeem all 762,195 shares of common stock of the Company issued to the Trans as part of the acquisition at their guaranteed price, and $310,000 to redeem all of the shares purchased by the Trans and other associates of the Trans in May 2006 as part of the Company’s private placement at the acquisition price. In exchange for this payment, the Company received a full and absolute release of any and all claims and liens made by the Trans against the Company. The Company also agreed to release the Trans from any and all claims it had against them pertaining to these matters. Finally, the Company agreed to dismiss with prejudice all litigation currently pending pertaining to these matters. The $1.150 million of earn-out and bonus payments are reflected as expenses of discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2006.
     On July 25, 2006, the Company sold the assets of PCA to Indiana Life Sciences (a company owned by one of the Company’s executive officers) for $1 and a commitment to purchase $100,000 of the Company’s common stock currently through a private placement offering. That investment was made in July 2006. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of $428,000.
     On October 20, 2006, the Company completed the sale of certain rights, properties and assets of Long Term Rx to Omnicare, Inc. The contract purchase price was for $5.1 million. Of the purchase price, (1) $4.2 million in cash was paid by Omnicare at the closing, (2) $750,000 was held back pending a potential post-closing adjustment to be measured against a specified historical value of the purchased net assets, and (3) up to $225,000 could have been made based on a calculation defined in the sale agreement. The Company recorded an original gain on the sale of $.6 million including its estimate of the eventual holdback payment to be received or paid and without consideration of the contingent purchase price of $225,000, and after an expense related to the buy out of a portion of the remaining lease for space no longer needed at the Company’s operating facility in Indianapolis.
     Based on ongoing correspondence regarding the final determination of the holdbacks for both Rainier and Long Term Rx, the Company has, as of December 31, 2006, reduced their holdback receivables from Omnicare to management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement of these amounts. The related adjustment is included as an additional loss on the respective sales. Future adjustments based on continuing negotiations are not expected to be material.
     In November 2006, the Company sold RoyalMed for $75,000, recognizing a loss on sale of $.2 million.
     Subject to management’s late 2006 decision to sell a portion of the Company’s “HomeMed” pharmacy operations and to close the remaining “HomeMed” operations, such actions were completed in March 2007. A portion of the operations were sold to HomeMed, LLC, a non-related entity for a cash purchase price of $.5 million. All unsold assets were written down to their minimal estimated realizable value as of December 31, 2006. An aggregate $653,000 charge was recorded as a component of discontinued operations. Concurrently, the Company entered into a management services agreement with the buyer to provide accounting and other related services for two or more years. Related management services fees of $100,000 were paid in advance upon closing the sale.

     Mortgages payable primarily represents a promissory note in the amount of $5.5 million due June 30, 2008, secured by the Company’s corporate headquarters. The note bears interest at 7.25% per annum and is payable in equal monthly installments of $51,728, with a final payment of $5.1 million in June 2008. The note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount (plus accrued interest) declining to 101% in 2007 with no penalty in the final year. A $500,000 prepayment of principal on the note was made in March 2005 related to the sale of Standard Life.
     The Company has various unsecured promissory notes primarily related to the acquisitions of various healthcare companies. In February 2006, the Company issued an additional $500,000 short-term promissory note due on or before August 30, 2006, as extended. This note bears interest at 9.5% per annum and has an outstanding balance of $200,000 on December 31, 2006. On September 29, 2006, the Company issued a promissory note to Bridgewater Capital Ltd. for $105,000 which was paid in early October 2006. This note contained an interest rate of 10%. On August 24, 2006, the Company issued a promissory note to AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”), its primary vendor, in exchange for amounts previously due to ABDC in the amount of $1.5 million payable in fifteen equal weekly installments of $85,000 with the remaining $225,000 due December 15, 2006. This note bears an interest rate of 10.25%. This note was extended with the agreement of ABDC with the December 31, 2007 balance of $275,000 paid in January, 2007. Certain of these notes are currently in default due to untimely interest and principal payments. Accordingly, they are classified as current obligations.
     On February 10, 2004, the Company issued $3.3 million of 7% unsecured convertible notes due in full in 2009. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $4.20 per share at any time at the holder’s option subject to certain conditions.
     On November 30, 2004, the Company issued $2.75 million of 6% mandatory unsecured convertible notes due in full in 2008. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to an adjusted $3.28 per share at any time at the holder’s option subject to certain conditions. In March 2007, $2.5 million of these notes were exchanged for a like amount of demand notes at an interest rate of 8.5 % in conjunction with the equity financing described in Note 18. The conversion features were not changed.

     On March 21, 2005, the Company issued $4.75 million of Laurus convertible notes. Principal payments are due in monthly installments through March 2008 and bear interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a floor of 7.25%, unless such rate is reduced in the event that the trading price of the Company’s common stock increase above certain levels. Also, the Company may pay interest and principal in shares of its common stock instead of cash under certain circumstances. All principal and interest to date have been paid in cash. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an outstanding balance with Laurus of $2.4 million which is all classified as current due to defaults caused by late principal and interest payments. These notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the holder’s option at a rate of $3.28 per share, subject to certain conditions. As with the 2004 7% and 6% convertible notes, because the Company’s common shares were trading at less than the effective conversion price upon issuance of the notes, no value was assigned to the conversion feature. The notes were issued with a detachable warrant that allows the holder to purchase 532,511 shares of common stock at an original exercise price of $3.90 per share, which was reduced to $0.01 per share as part of a settlement negotiated between the holder and the Company. See Note 16.
     On August 9, 2001, SMAN Capital Trust I (the “Trust”) completed a public offering of $20.7 million of its 10.25% preferred securities, which mature on August 9, 2031 (“Trust Preferred Securities”). The Trust, in turn, loaned the offering proceeds to the Company as subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Trust Preferred Securities. Since all income and cash flows into the Trust benefit the preferred securities holders rather than Standard Management, the Trust is not consolidated with Standard Management.
     On March 8, 2006, the Company announced its intention to defer distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities. The deferral, which began with the distribution date scheduled for March 31, 2006, is expected to continue for up to two years. The Company will make a decision each quarter as to the continuation of the deferral of the distributions. All unpaid distributions will accrue interest at the rate of 10.25% per annum until paid by the Company. Deferred distributions as of December 31, 2006 were $ 982,000.
     In June 2006, the Company completed an exchange offer for a portion of the Trust Preferred Securities which allowed all Trust Preferred Security holders to exchange their Trust Preferred Securities for six shares of common stock of Standard Management. The Company received tenders for 1,112,341 shares or 53.7% of outstanding Trust Preferred Securities by the expiration date of the offer to exchange. On June 30, 2006, as a result of the exchange offer, the Company issued 6,674,046 shares of its common stock valued at $1.8 million in exchange for $11.1 million of the Trust Preferred Securities and $.6 million of related deferred interest, which in turn, reduced the outstanding balance of the subordinated debentures and accrued interest by like amounts. After the write off of a pro rata portion of previously-unamortized deferred financing fees and the costs of the transaction, the Company recorded a $9.2 million gain upon the exchange as a component of Other Income, net in June 2006.
     On April 13, 2006, the Company entered into a senior loan agreement with one of the officers of a recently acquired company for $2.8 million at an interest rate of 8.25% per annum due April 13, 2008. Additionally, the Company issued warrants exercisable for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such warrants are exercisable for seventy three cents ($0.73) per share.
     On July 27, 2006, the Company entered into a senior loan in favor of an individual, who, until the issuance, was a member of the Company’s board of directors, in the principal amount of $2.8 million at an interest rate of 12.0% per annum due no later than September 15, 2006. The proceeds from this note were used to retire the $2.8 million senior loan issued on April 13, 2006. On August 11, 2006, the Company repaid the sum of $3.1 million, including all but $500,000 of the senior note and facility fees of $750,000. A second senior loan of $500,000 with similar terms was made on September 28, 2006. Both senior notes were paid, along with an additional $200,000 of tender and facility fees, in late October 2006. From October 2006 through December 31, 2006, an additional $715,000 of similar notes at interest rates of 12% were issued to this same lender and paid along with $143,000 of facility fees (expensed in 2006) in early 2007. The outstanding balance of these notes as of December 31, 2006 are included in promissory notes in the above table.

     On September 8, 2006, the Company entered into a new debt agreement to issue an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million of new 6% Convertible Notes due 2009 to four investors in a private placement. Notes in the principal amount of $700,000 were issued on September 8, 2006 and an additional $600,000 in notes was issued on October 4, 2006 in conjunction with the Company’s filing of a registration statement called for in the debt agreement to register the shares issueable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants described below. The last $700,000 of notes has yet to be issued. The notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a floating conversion price based on the trading price of its common stock. The notes mature on September 8, 2009 and bear interest at 6% per annum prior to maturity and 15% per annum after the maturity date and until paid in full. However, no interest is due for any month in which the intraday trading price of the Company’s common stock is greater than $0.25 for each trading day of the month – which did not occur during 2006. The notes are secured by certain personal property of the Company. The Company may redeem the notes at any time (i) for 125% of the outstanding principal amount for the period between October 8, 2006 and November 6, 2006; and (ii) for 130% of the outstanding principal amount for any period thereafter until the maturity date, under certain conditions and may redeem stated portions of the new notes after any monthly period in which the Company’s stock price is consistently below a certain threshold. As the Company was not able to register the shares as required, these notes were in default as of December 31, 2006. However, the lenders have waived the default and the liquidation damages as provided for in the related registration rights agreement. The Company is in the process of filing a new registration statement to register the underlying shares during the second quarter of 2007.
     The conversion provisions and the various call and other provisions that are based on the Company’s common stock price which are included in the agreements related to the above debt represent financial instruments that must be accounted for as derivatives and the value of which must be reflected as separate Company liabilities. Based on valuations performed by independent parties, the Company determined that the original aggregate value of these various instruments was $840,000 and $720,000 for the September 2006 and October 2006 traunches, respectively. These values, along with the value assigned to the warrants issued with the September 2007 traunch as described below, are also recorded as debt discount related to this debt. To the extent that the debt discount would have been in excess of the cash proceeds from the issuance of the debt, such excess was immediately expensed (and aggregated $948,000) and both traunches of debt were originally recorded with 100% discounts. Such discounts are being amortized over the term of the related debt under the effective interest rate method and such amortization was not material in 2006.
     In the September traunches of the same private placement transaction, the Company issued to the investors, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.60 per share, expire seven years from the date of issue and contain provisions that allow for a reduction of the exercise price under certain conditions. These warrants have been valued at $688,000 as of their issuance date and are reflected as separate long-term liabilities of the Company.
     Additionally, due to the nature of the related conversion feature of these 2006 6% convertible notes, all of the Company’s previously-outstanding warrants that had been classified as equity instruments were required to be reclassified as liabilities at their estimated values as of the date of the note issuance. That estimated value of $264,000 was reclassified out of equity into a long-term liability. The aggregate value of all outstanding warrants and the derivative instruments described above are required to be marked-to-market value each balance sheet date. That revaluation through December 31, 2006 aggregated to $667,000 of income. This income, combined with the $948,000 of expense above and $210,000 of income related to valuation changes for certain warrants already classified as liabilities prior to September 2006, aggregate to $71,000 of expense related to warrants and derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     Interest paid for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $4.9 million, $4.3 million, and $4.4 million, respectively.

Note 8 — Income Taxes
     The components of the Company’s income tax expense or benefit applicable to pre-tax losses from continuing operations were zero for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 due to taxable losses in each such year and a 100% valuation allowance against all resulting net deferred income tax assets. The Company reached this conclusion after considering the availability of taxable income in prior carryback years, tax planning strategies, and the likelihood of future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. If or when the Company becomes profitable, management may determine that all or a portion of this valuation allowance is not required and, if so, the Company will record benefits, which could be substantial, in the period such determinations are made.
     As of December 31, 2006, the Company had consolidated net capital loss carryforwards of approximately $22.0 million which expire in 2010 and consolidated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $60.0 million for tax return purposes, which expire from 2009 to 2026. As a result of the Company’s issuance of common stock in March 2007 and resulting changes in ownership, the use of the loss carry-forwards is likely to be limited pursuant to current income tax regulations regarding such matters.

Note 9 Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Warrants
     Historically, the Company has issued warrants to purchase common stock (a) as a component of the purchase price of pharmacy acquisitions, (b) in connection with the issuance of convertible debt, (c) as an inducement to its independent agents for annuity sales, and (d) for equity and capital marketing related services. During 2005 and 2004, the Company had 376,500 warrants and 157,750 warrants, respectively, expire unexercised. In addition, during 2005, the Company issued (a) 125,000 warrants recorded as a charge of $105,000, (b) 532,511 warrants recorded as debt discount of $351,000, and (c) 80,619 warrants recorded as deferred financing fees of $62,000. During 2006, 447,402 warrants were issued as part of Units acquired in private placement investments (127,397 of which were subsequently cancelled) 200,000 warrants were issued and recorded as a prepaid of $70,000, 100,000 warrants were issued and recorded as a charge of $27,000 and 3 million warrants were issued with convertible debt. As described in Note 6, all of the Company warrants were revalued and classified as liabilities in conjunction with the issuance of the 2006 6% convertible notes. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions used to value these warrants as of December 31, 2006 include dividend yield of 0.0%, expected lives of .8 to 6.9 years, expected volatility of 80% and risk-free interest rates of 4.64% and 4.70%.

Note 10 Stock Option Plans
     Effective June 12, 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which authorized the granting of options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company to purchase up to 990,000 shares of its common stock at a price not less than its market value on the date the option is granted. The number of shares of stock available for issuance pursuant to the Plan is automatically increased on the first trading day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2004, by an amount equal to 3% of the shares of stock outstanding on the trading day immediately proceeding January 1. As of December 31, 2005, there were 794,702 shares of common stock available for grant under the Plan. Additionally, as of January 1, 2006, the Plan’s available shares increased by an additional 273,356 shares. Options may not be granted under the Plan on a date that is more than ten years from the date of its adoption. The options may become exercisable immediately or over a period of time. Any shares subject to an option that for any reason expires or is terminated unexercised may again be subject to an option under the Plan. The Plan also permits granting of stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards. In addition to the Plan, the 1992 Stock Option Plan has 1,325,180 options outstanding with similar terms. No additional shares remain available for future issuance under the 1992 Stock Option Plan.

     Goodwill of continuing operations was created in the 2005 acquisition of Precision. The Company completes an assessment of goodwill at least annually. During 2004 through 2006, the Company had up to four reporting units representing pharmacies in each of its regional hubs which serviced a unique geographical subsection of the United States. Precision remains as the only continuing reporting unit as of December 31, 2006. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company relied on the merger and acquisition method and the discounted future benefits method to calculate fair value using an outside appraisal. Finally, the Company compared the implied goodwill from the calculated fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. As a result of the Company’s impairment test, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $2.8 million and $1.0 million for one of its discontinued reporting units in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Other amounts of goodwill from this, and other discontinued reporting units have been written off as part of the aggregate gain or loss on sale of those units, and is also included in the results from discontinued operations.

Note 16 – Laurus Amendment
     On May 23, 2006, the Company entered into an Omnibus Amendment and Waiver (the “Omnibus Amendment”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., amending the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 21, 2005 between the Company and Laurus related to a Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $4,750,000.
     Pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, Laurus consented to the Company’s sale of certain unimproved real estate in Indianapolis, Indiana (the “Real Estate Sale”) and agreed to release the real estate being sold from the mortgage securing the Company’s obligations under the Laurus Note. The Company was required to remit to Laurus the net proceeds of the Real Estate Sale of approximately $1.1 million. The Omnibus Amendment provides that the proceeds of the Real Estate Sale paid by the Company to Laurus will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation under the Laurus Note to make monthly payments of principal on the Laurus Note equal to $158,333, on the first day of each month from June 2006 through November 2006, and a portion equal to $132,535 of a payment of principal due December 1, 2006.
     Under the amended and restated terms of the Laurus Note, the conversion price of the Laurus Note is subject to customary adjustments to avoid dilution, but is no longer subject to reduction in the event the Company sells stock to other parties at a price lower than the conversion price.
     Under the terms of the Omnibus Amendment, the exercise price of the Warrant to acquire up to 532,511 shares was reduced to $0.01 per share. The Company recorded additional debt discount related to the re-pricing of the Warrant in an amount of $.2 million. The Securities Purchase Agreement, the Laurus Note and the Warrant were not amended in any other material respect.
Note 17 Quarterly Financial Data (un-audited) (in thousands, except per share amounts)
     Earnings per common and common equivalent share for each quarter are computed independently of earnings (loss) per share for the year. Due to the transactions affecting the weighted average number of shares outstanding in each quarter and due to the uneven distribution of earnings (loss) during the year, the sum of the quarterly earnings (loss) per share may not equal the earnings (loss) per share for the year. As Precision was not acquired until July 2005, the Company does not reflect any net revenues or gross profits for its continuing operations until the third quarter of 2005.
