NOTICE OF ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED
NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
THIS IS ONLY FOR YOUR INFORMATION
October 29, 2010
Dear Shareholder:
On September 1, 2010, ApothecaryRx, LLC (“ApothecaryRx”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (“Graymark” or the “Company” and, together with ApothecaryRx, “we,” “us,” or “our”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Original Purchase Agreement”) with Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation (“Walgreens”), which was subsequently amended on October 29, 2010 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby Walgreens agreed to purchase and ApothecaryRx agreed to sell substantially all of its assets comprising its independent retail pharmacy business for an aggregate amount of up to $32,500,000 in cash (the “Asset Sale”).
After careful consideration, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously determined that the Asset Sale is advisable, expedient and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. On August 31, 2010, Graymark shareholders holding approximately 56.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by written consent adopted the Original Purchase Agreement and approved the Asset Sale, and subsequently approved the Purchase Agreement and re-confirmed their prior approval of the Asset Sale on October 27, 2010. Action by written consent is sufficient to adopt the Purchase Agreement and approve the Asset Sale without any further action or vote of the shareholders of the Company.
This notice and Information Statement shall constitute notice to you of action by written consent under Section 1073 of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act.
The accompanying Information Statement is being provided to you for your information to comply with the requirements of Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). This Information Statement constitutes notice of corporate action to be taken without a meeting by less than unanimous consent of the Company’s shareholders pursuant to Section 1073 of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act covering the consummation of the Asset Sale. You are urged to read this Information Statement carefully in its entirety. However, no action is required on your part in connection with this document, including with respect to the adoption of the Purchase Agreement and approval of the Asset Sale. No meeting of our shareholders will be held or proxies requested because we have received written consent to these matters from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Under Rule 14c-2(b) of the Exchange Act, the Asset Sale described in the Information Statement may be consummated no earlier than 20 calendar days after we have mailed the Information Statement to our shareholders. The Company intends to first send or give this Information Statement to its shareholders on or about October 29, 2010. The record dates established by the Company for purposes of determining the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and thus voting power in connection with the approval of the Original Purchase Agreement and the subsequent amendment were August 30 and October 25, 2010, respectively.
     
 
  Sincerely,
 
   
 
  (SIGNATURE)
 
  Stanton Nelson
 
  Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors
 
  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

INFORMATION STATEMENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND ASSET SALE HAVE
ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY SHAREHOLDERS
This Information Statement is furnished to the shareholders of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (“Graymark” or the “Company”) in connection with action to be taken by Graymark and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ApothecaryRx, LLC (“ApothecaryRx”), as a result of written consents, dated August 31 and October 27, 2010.
This Information Statement and Notice of Action by Written Consent of Shareholders is being furnished by the Company to our shareholders of record as of August 30 and October 25, 2010, to inform the shareholders of the proposed sale of substantially all of the assets (the “Assets”) comprising the independent retail pharmacy business of ApothecaryRx (the “Asset Sale”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2010 (“Original Purchase Agreement”) as amended on October 29, 2010 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) that is described in more detail in this Information Statement (the “Asset Sale”).
This Information Statement is being sent in lieu of a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) held on August 30, 2010, the Board unanimously adopted the Original Purchase Agreement and recommended that the Asset Sale be consummated based upon the Board’s determination that it was the strategic alternative most likely to maximize shareholder value. The Board subsequently approved an amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement on October 25, 2010 and confirmed its recommendation that the Asset Sale be consummated.
On August 30, 2010, the Company’s independent financial advisor, Morgan Joseph LLC (“Morgan Joseph”), rendered an opinion to the Board that the consideration to be received by ApothecaryRx pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to ApothecaryRx and the Company.
In reaching its conclusion to adopt the Purchase Agreement and approve the Asset Sale, the Board considered the Company’s current condition and future prospects of its independent retail pharmacy business and of its sleep management solutions business, including its financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the value of the Company’s remaining assets and its remaining claims and obligations, the detrimental impact on demand and pricing of the Company’s products due to current and near-term expectations of general economic and market conditions in the marketplace in which the Company conducts its business, and other strategic alternatives for the Company, including the risks associated with these alternatives. After considering these factors and alternatives, the Board determined that the Asset Sale was advisable, expedient and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and that the Company should proceed with the Asset Sale.
On August 31 and October 27, 2010, shareholders representing approximately 56.6% of the voting power of the Company as of the date of this Information Statement adopted and approved, by written consents in lieu of a special meeting, the Original Purchase Agreement, the amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement, and the Asset Sale. These shareholders consisted solely of our directors, our officers and certain of our shareholders who each beneficially own in excess of 5% of our outstanding Common Stock.

 

 


Table of Contents

The ability to proceed without a special or annual meeting of the shareholders to adopt the Purchase Agreement and approve the Asset Sale is authorized by Section 1073 of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act (the “OGCA”) which provides that, unless otherwise provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent that sets forth the action so taken is signed by shareholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a majority vote of the shareholders and may be stated as such in any document. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not contain any provisions contrary to the provisions of Section 1073 of the OGCA. Thus, to eliminate the costs to the Company and management time involved in holding a special meeting, and in order to effect the Asset Sale as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as described in this Information Statement, certain of its shareholders executed and delivered written consents to the Company.
The Company is distributing this Information Statement to its shareholders in full satisfaction of any notice requirements it may have under the OGCA. No dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the OGCA are afforded to the Company’s shareholders as a result of the adoption of the Purchase Agreement and the approval of the Asset Sale.
This Information Statement is dated as of and is first being sent or given to our shareholders of record on or about October 29, 2010.
SUMMARY TERM SHEET
This summary term sheet is intended to give you a brief description of the Asset Sale. This summary term sheet is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information elsewhere in this Information Statement and in the Purchase Agreement, which is included as Annex A to this Information Statement. We urge you to review this Information Statement and the Purchase Agreement to gain a more complete understanding of these transactions.
Asset Sale (see pages 7 and 23)
On September 1, 2010, we entered into the Original Purchase Agreement with Walgreens, subsequently amended on October 29, 2010 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ApothecaryRx agreed to sell, and Walgreens agreed to purchase, substantially all the assets of ApothecaryRx comprising its independent retail pharmacy business. The purchase price to be paid by Walgreens for the Assets is up to $32.5 million in cash and is subject to certain potential adjustments. Walgreens will also assume certain of ApothecaryRx’s liabilities. The purchase price for the Assets, other than inventory, is $25.5 million. The purchase price for the inventory is subject to an inventory valuation, but will not exceed $7.0 million. ApothecaryRx will retain accounts receivable, which as of June 30, 2010, were approximately $7.5 million.
To fully understand the Asset Sale, you should read this Information Statement and the Purchase Agreement completely. The Purchase Agreement constitutes the legal document that governs the Asset Sale and is included as Annex A to this Information Statement. For a more complete description of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the details of the transaction with Walgreens, please see “THE ASSET SALE” and “THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT” sections in this Information Statement.
Purchase Price (see page 20)
In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, Walgreens agreed to pay ApothecaryRx up to an aggregate of $32.5 million in cash. Also, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Walgreens agreed to assume certain of ApothecaryRx’s liabilities. The purchase price for the assets, other than inventory, is $25.5 million. The purchase price for the inventory is subject to an inventory valuation, but will not exceed $7.0 million. The purchase price will be (i) increased by the amount of any security deposits transferred to Walgreens and (ii) decreased by the amount of any remaining payments under goodwill protection agreements assumed by Walgreens and any unpaid amounts under promissory notes assumed by Walgreens. The purchase price may be adjusted downward if certain leases cannot be transferred to Walgreens. Of the proceeds from the Asset Sale, $25,000,000 will be used to reduce amounts owed under our credit facility with Arvest Bank, and any remaining proceeds will be used to pay transaction costs and other costs agreed to by Arvest.

Table of Contents

As a result of the Asset Sale, the Company may be deemed to have conveyed substantially all its assets under the OGCA. The Company will retain its Sleep Management Solutions, or SMS, business and intends to focus substantially all resources on the SMS business. ApothecaryRx will retain some liabilities, including liabilities related to pre-closing accounts payable, operating expenses and obligations under any leases not assumed by Walgreens.
Arvest Bank (see page 21)
As a condition for the release of liens on the Assets to be sold to Walgreens, Arvest Bank is requiring us to reduce the amount of the Arvest credit facility by $25.0 million from proceeds of the Asset Sale. After such payment, we estimate that remaining balance on the Arvest credit facility will be approximately $19.4 million. We may use the remaining proceeds from the Asset Sale to pay transaction costs and other costs agreed to by Arvest. In addition, we can use the amounts realized from collection of the accounts receivable for general corporate purposes.
Closing (see pages 21 and 29)
The closing of the Asset Sale is expected to occur in stages on such dates as the conditions to close set forth in the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied as to the various retail pharmacy locations where assets are being sold. Closing conditions include the requirement that the Information Statement be sent or given to Graymark shareholders at least 20 calendar days prior to the first closing date.
Material Terms of the Purchase Agreement (see page 23)
The Purchase Agreement sets forth the various rights and obligations of the Company, ApothecaryRx and Walgreens. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of ApothecaryRx including, among others, a covenant to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its operations in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the completion of the Asset Sale. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is included as Annex A to this Information Statement.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that there will have been no material adverse effect on the retail pharmacy business conducted by ApothecaryRx or the Assets, and that certain consents and approvals required to be obtained by the parties have been obtained. The Asset Sale is not subject to a financing condition.
The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both ApothecaryRx and Walgreens, including that either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the first closing has not occurred prior to December 31, 2010 provided the terminating party is not in breach of the Purchase Agreement.
Most of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement will terminate on the 18-month anniversary of the final closing date of the Asset Sale. The covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement and the certificates and other documents delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will survive the closing to the extent applicable. We have agreed to indemnify Walgreens for any losses relating to or arising out of any breach of our representations, warranties, or covenants under the Purchase Agreement. To secure our indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement, $2,000,000 of the purchase price will be deposited in an escrow fund (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”). Generally, on the 12-month anniversary of the final closing date of the Asset Sale, 50% of remaining funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund will be released, subject to deduction for any pending claims for indemnification. All remaining funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if any, will be released on the 18-month anniversary of the final closing date of the Asset Sale, subject to any pending claims for indemnification. Of the $2,000,000 Indemnity Escrow Fund, $1,000,000 is subject to partial or full recovery by Walgreens if the average daily prescription sales at the Walgreens pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado over a six-month period after Walgreens purchases our retail pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado does not increase by a certain percentage of the average daily prescription sales by our retail pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado (the “Retention Rate Earnout”). In addition, if an agreement, on certain terms required by Walgreens, relating to the sale of the long-term care pharmacy business at our Sterling, Colorado pharmacy is not completed prior to the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens, an additional $1,500,000 will be deposited in an escrow fund (the “LTC Escrow Fund”) and is subject to deduction to the extent that certain of our former employees and their affiliates compete in the retail pharmacy business within the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens.
Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor (see page 12)
On August 30, 2010, Morgan Joseph LLC, an investment bank and the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the transaction, rendered a written opinion to the Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by ApothecaryRx in the Asset Sale. The summary of Morgan Joseph’s opinion in this Information Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is included as Annex B to this Information Statement and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Morgan Joseph in preparing its opinion.

Table of Contents

In consideration for the services rendered by Morgan Joseph in connection with the Asset Sale and the delivery of its fairness opinion, the Company agreed to pay Morgan Joseph (i) upon completion of the Asset Sale, a fee equal to 2.25% of the aggregate consideration paid to ApothecaryRx in the transaction, (ii) $250,000 for the delivery of the fairness opinion, of which $125,000 will be credited to the transaction fee, and (iii) reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company has paid a $75,000 retainer fee to Morgan Joseph which will be credited to the transaction fee.
Shareholder Approvals Required in Connection with the Asset Sale (see page 9)
As of August 30 and October 25, 2010, there were approximately 28,984,319 and 28,974,884 shares, respectively, of our common stock issued and outstanding. The required vote for the adoption of the Purchase Agreement and the approval of the Asset Sale is a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. On August 31 and October 27, 2010, the holders of record of 56.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock executed written consents adopting the Purchase Agreement and approving the Asset Sale. These shareholders consisted solely of our directors, our officers and certain of our shareholders who each beneficially own in excess of 5% of our outstanding Common Stock. Because we have obtained sufficient shareholder approval of the Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale, no other consents or votes will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
Reasons for the Asset Sale (see page 10)
The Board approved the Asset Sale because the Board reasonably believed that it was the strategic alternative most likely to maximize shareholder value. In reaching its conclusion to approve the Asset Sale, the Board considered ApothecaryRx’s current condition and future prospects, including its financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the value of the Company’s remaining assets and its remaining claims and obligations, the detrimental impact on demand and pricing of ApothecaryRx’s products due to current and near-term expectations of general economic and market conditions in the marketplace in which ApothecaryRx conducts its business, and other strategic alternatives for ApothecaryRx and the Company, including the risks associated with these alternatives. After considering these factors and alternatives, and after spending approximately seven months with the assistance of Morgan Joseph seeking purchasers for ApothecaryRx, the Board determined that the Asset Sale was advisable, expedient and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and that the Company should proceed with the Asset Sale.
Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal
Under the OGCA, the Company’s shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the proposed Asset Sale.
Regulatory Approvals
Other than federal securities laws and certain required licenses, no United States Federal or state regulatory requirements must be complied with or approvals obtained in connection with the Asset Sale.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (see page 21)
As described in “MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES” section of this Information Statement, and subject to the limitations and qualifications therein, the Company will recognize gain or loss on the disposition of each of ApothecaryRx’s assets pursuant to the Asset Sale in an amount equal to the difference between the portion of the total purchase price allocable to such asset and the adjusted tax basis in such asset. Any gain recognized by the Company from the Asset Sale may be offset by other tax attributes of the Company such as net operating losses or tax credits to the extent they are available and allowed by the United States tax laws. The Company has not evaluated the adjusted tax basis of its assets for purposes of the Asset Sale and therefore is not able to fully analyze the tax treatment of the transaction to determine if any gain will be realized in the transaction. Due to inadequate current information with respect to the Company’s tax basis in its assets and uncertainties regarding potential adjustments to the purchase price, the Company is unable to provide additional disclosure with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale.
Operation of the Company Following the Asset Sale
Following consummation of the Asset Sale, the Company expects to dispose of all remaining assets of ApothecaryRx not purchased by Walgreens, to cease business operations of ApothecaryRx and to remit any cash, after wind down costs, to the Company.
Additional Information About Graymark, Inc. and ApothecaryRx (see page 41)
More information about the Company and ApothecaryRx is available from various sources described in this Information Statement under “WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Information Statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding the anticipated Asset Sale, are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Purchase Agreement, (2) risks that adjustments to the purchase price may be substantial and actual proceeds to the Company are uncertain, (3) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement due to the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the closing of the Asset Sale, (4) failure of any party to the Purchase Agreement to abide by the terms of that agreement, (5) risks that the proposed transaction, including the uncertainty surrounding the closing of the transaction, will disrupt the current plans and operations of the Company, including as a result of undue distraction of management and personnel retention problems, (6) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and others following announcement of the Purchase Agreement, and (7) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, the expectations expressed in forward-looking statements about the Company could materially differ from the actual outcomes and readers are cautioned to consider the specific business risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time unless otherwise required by law.
BUSINESS OF GRAYMARK HEALTHCARE, INC.
Graymark is a diversified healthcare services company that conducts business in two operating segments, Sleep Management Solutions and ApothecaryRx. Our first operating segment, Sleep Management Solutions, or SMS, is one of the largest providers of care management solutions to the sleep disorder market based on number of independent sleep care centers and hospital sleep diagnostic programs operated in the United States. We provide a comprehensive diagnosis and care management solution for patients suffering from sleep disorders. Our second operating segment, ApothecaryRx, operates independent retail pharmacy stores selling prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs and an assortment of general merchandise.
THE ASSET SALE
Background of the Transaction
As part of its evaluation of its business, Graymark regularly considers opportunities for business combinations, strategic transactions, and financing transactions in order to enhance shareholder value. Beginning in the fall of 2009, Graymark interviewed several different financial and strategic advisors and evaluated a range of strategic alternatives for the Company, including strategic acquisitions, a capital raise through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, and/or the divestiture of the Company’s independent retail pharmacy business operated by its ApothecaryRx, LLC subsidiary (the “Apothecary Pharmacy Business”).

Table of Contents

On December 17, 2009, Graymark engaged JMP Securities (“JMP”) to conduct an underwritten public offering of approximately $25 million of Graymark common stock. Graymark intended to use the proceeds from the offering to repay corporate debt and/or pursue strategic acquisition opportunities in its higher growth sleep management solutions, or SMS, business. With the assistance of JMP, on January 7, 2010, Graymark filed a registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with such proposed offering. JMP Securities is a full-service investment bank that provides equity research, institutional brokerage and investment banking services to public and private growth companies and their investors. The firm is a subsidiary of publicly traded JMP Group Inc. In January and February 2010, market conditions were not favorable to a successful completion of the offering and Graymark determined to delay proceeding with the offering until such time as market conditions were more favorable to a successful offering. Ultimately, Graymark was not able to raise the proposed financing pursuant to the registered offering and the engagement of JMP expired by its terms on June 16, 2010.
On February 17, 2010, Graymark engaged Morgan Joseph LLC (“Morgan Joseph”), formerly known as Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc., in connection with the possible divestiture of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business. Over the subsequent two months, Morgan Joseph conducted due diligence and prepared materials to be used in connection with marketing the Apothecary Pharmacy Business, including a Confidential Information Memorandum (the “CIM”). Morgan Joseph began contacting potential acquirers on April 19, 2010. Of the 27 strategic parties that were contacted by Morgan Joseph, six parties elected to enter into a confidentiality agreement with Graymark and receive a copy of the CIM. Morgan Joseph requested that each interested party submit an indication of interest (“IOI”) with respect to a proposed acquisition of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business by May 27, 2010. Three parties ultimately submitted IOIs, Party A, Party B and Walgreens.
On May 17, 2010, Graymark’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) held a regularly scheduled meeting. During that meeting, management gave the Board an overview of the status of the CIM and the sales process for the Apothecary Pharmacy Business.
After reviewing each of the IOIs in detail with Morgan Joseph, Graymark elected to invite two of the bidders, Party A and Walgreens, to the second round of the process. On June 3, 2010, Morgan Joseph notified Party A and Walgreens and requested that they fully conduct their due diligence and submit a letter of intent (“LOI”) with respect to a proposed acquisition of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business by Monday June 21, 2010. Party A and Walgreens ultimately submitted LOIs.
After reviewing each of the LOIs in detail with Morgan Joseph, Graymark elected to negotiate the terms of the LOI with Walgreens. After substantial negotiations, Walgreens and Graymark entered into an LOI on July 12, 2010 that set forth the principal terms of the proposed acquisition of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business and provided Walgreens with a 30 business day exclusive period in which to negotiate and execute a binding purchase agreement. Such exclusivity period was extended on several occasions, eventually through September 1, 2010.
In July 2010, Graymark engaged Commercial Law Group to represent it in review and negotiation of the asset purchase agreement and related schedules and exhibits.
On July 15, 2010, Graymark engaged Greenberg Traurig, LLP to represent Graymark with respect to certain securities law matters as well as in review and negotiation of the asset purchase agreement and related schedules and exhibits.
On July 22, 2010, Walgreens sent a draft asset purchase agreement to Graymark and its outside counsel, Commercial Law Group and Greenberg Traurig. From July 22, 2010 through September 1, 2010, Graymark and its outside counsel, Greenberg Traurig and Commercial Law Group negotiated the asset purchase agreement and certain ancillary documents by participating in multiple conference calls with Walgreens and its outside counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, and by exchanging multiple drafts of the asset purchase agreement and various ancillary agreements.
On August 5, 2010, Graymark engaged Morgan Joseph to prepare and deliver an oral and written fairness opinion to the Board as to the fairness of the consideration to be received by ApothecaryRx for the sale of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business to Walgreens.

On August 18, 2010, the Board held a regularly scheduled meeting. During that meeting, management gave the Board an overview of the status of the Walgreens transaction, the material terms of the asset purchase agreement and the proposed timeline for the transaction.
On August 30, 2010, the Board held a telephonic meeting to consider the proposed transaction, the approval of the proposed asset purchase agreement with Walgreens and related matters. Morgan Joseph attended the meeting and gave a presentation regarding the marketing process used by Graymark in selling the Apothecary Pharmacy Business. Morgan Joseph explained, among other things, the various parties who were interested in the Apothecary Pharmacy Business, that certain of the interested parties declined to submit formal indications of interest as there was no geographic fit with the locations of the ApothecaryRx pharmacies and that certain interested parties either submitted or intended to submit indications of interest for only certain pharmacies or pharmacies located in certain geographic locations. Morgan Joseph also gave an oral opinion that as of August 30, 2010, and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions and limitations set forth in its opinion, the consideration to be received by ApothecaryRx in the sale of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business to Walgreens was fair from a financial point of view to ApothecaryRx and Graymark. Greenberg Traurig gave an overview of the material terms of the proposed asset purchase agreement and a review of disclosure requirements and process for the preparation and filing of an information statement with the SEC and distribution to shareholders, as well as a proposed timeline for this process. After discussion, the Board unanimously approved the sale of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business to Walgreens, the approval of the proposed asset purchase agreement and all ancillary agreements, and recommended that shareholders approve the asset purchase agreement and the sale of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business to Walgreens.
From August 30, 2010 through August 31, 2010, shareholders representing approximately 56.6% interest of the outstanding common stock of Graymark as of August 30, 2010, executed, and delivered to Graymark, written consents approving the sale of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business and the entry into the Purchase Agreement as required under the Oklahoma General Corporation Act. These shareholders consisted solely of our directors, our officers and certain of our shareholders who each beneficially own in excess of 5% of our outstanding Common Stock.
On September 1, 2010, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Walgreens (the “Original Purchase Agreement”), and we announced the transaction on September 2, 2010. Subsequently, we believe that certain employees of our pharmacies in Sterling, Colorado and their affiliates were violating certain of our corporate policies and other agreements which we have with them. We informed Walgreens of these events and, on October 8, 2010, ApothecaryRx commenced litigation against certain of these employees and their affiliates. To address concerns of potential indemnification claims under the Original Purchase Agreement in connection with these events, on October 29, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement with Walgreens to reflect our agreement regarding the pharmacies located in Sterling, Colorado. On October 27, 2010, shareholders representing approximately 56.6% interest of the outstanding common stock of Graymark as of October 25, 2010, executed, and delivered to Graymark, written consents approving the amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement. These shareholders consisted solely of our directors, our officers and certain of our shareholders who each beneficially own in excess of 5% of our outstanding Common Stock.
Required Approval of the Asset Sale; Written Consent
Under Section 1092 of the OGCA, the approval of our board of directors and the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of our shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote are required to adopt the Purchase Agreement and approve the Asset Sale. On August 31 and October 27, 2010, subsequent to receiving the Board’s recommendation for the Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale, the holders of 56.6% of our issued and outstanding common stock adopted the Purchase Agreement and approved the Asset Sale by written consent in lieu of a special meeting. These shareholders consisted solely of our directors, our officers and certain of our shareholders who each beneficially own in excess of 5% of our outstanding Common Stock. This means that the Asset Sale can occur without the vote of any other Graymark shareholders, and there will not be a special meeting of Graymark shareholders to vote on the adoption of the Purchase Agreement and approval of the Asset Sale.
When actions are taken by written consent of less than all of the shareholders entitled to vote on a matter, Section 1073 of the OGCA requires notice of the action to those shareholders who did not vote. This Information Statement and the accompanying notice constitute notice to you of action by written consent as required by Section 1073 of the OGCA.
Under federal securities laws, the Asset Sale may not be completed until 20 calendar days after the date of mailing of this Information Statement to Graymark’s shareholders. Therefore, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the written consent, the Asset Sale will not occur until that time has elapsed. We expect the closing of the Asset Sale to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent, as more fully discussed in this Information Statement. However, we cannot assure you that the Asset Sale will be completed at that time, or at all.

Recommendation of Graymark’s Board of Directors and Reasons for the Asset Sale
In the course of evaluating the direction of our business, Graymark’s management and its Board have periodically considered various strategic alternatives to enhance our markets and customer opportunities, including possible acquisitions of complementary businesses, commercial partnering arrangements, strategic combinations with other companies, and a sale of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business.
Management of Graymark believes that ApothecaryRx’s retail pharmacy business is subject to slow revenue growth with the increasing shift to generic prescriptions where retail prices are much lower, reduced margins as drug costs increase faster than payor reimbursements and reduced profitability as operating expenses increase roughly in line with inflation. Management believes that the retail pharmacy business is best run at a large scale to obtain consistently profitable results with good operating margins. Graymark did not believe that investing the additional capital into ApothecaryRx to build the scale needed to successfully grow the retail pharmacy business was in its best business interests.
Graymark’s SMS business focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and re-supply of patients with sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. This business has higher growth and operates with higher margins, particularly the therapy (treatment and re-supply) portion of business, than does ApothecaryRx’s retail pharmacy business. Management and the Board have decided to focus their time, effort and capital into growing the SMS business to scale as there is no clear industry leader, and the market for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders is rapidly developing and growing.
Management and the Board believe that by focusing on the growing sleep diagnostic and therapy business, Graymark will be more attractive to investors by providing a clear focus and management will be able to concentrate their efforts on a single industry that can provide higher revenue growth with better operating margins. Graymark intends to become a market leader in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea.
In evaluating various strategic alternatives, the Board and management team determined that the Company would require additional capital to fund an acquisition program. However, because of the challenges existing in the capital markets in late 2008 and continuing though early 2010, conventional financing was not available to Graymark. In February 2010, the Board authorized management to explore and advance the sale of all or part of the retail pharmacy business operated through ApothecaryRx, and authorized the engagement of Morgan Joseph to advise the Company on the possible transaction.
As a result of the structured process followed by Morgan Joseph, the Board developed a high level of confidence that all viable candidates capable of acquiring the ApothecaryRx assets had been identified and approached. As noted above in “Background of the Transaction,” indications of interest were pursued and, at the end of the process, the proposal put forward by Walgreens was viewed by management as representing the highest value while at the same time having the greatest certainty of a successful outcome in a timely manner.
At a meeting on August 30, 2010, after careful consideration, including consultation with financial and legal advisors, the Board unanimously determined that the Asset Sale and Original Purchase Agreement were advisable, expedient and in the best interests of our shareholders, and unanimously adopted the Original Purchase Agreement and approved the Asset Sale.
In the course of reaching its decision to approve the Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale, and to recommend that our shareholders adopt the Purchase Agreement and approve the Asset Sale, the Board consulted with senior management, financial advisors at Morgan Joseph, and outside legal counsel, reviewed a significant amount of information and considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following:
    the challenging business environment and uncertain prospects of the Apothecary Pharmacy Business, the risk that we will not be able to obtain additional capital required to meet our financial obligations and implement our strategy, the challenges presented by competitors who were larger and possessed greater resources than us, and the generally prevailing economic and market conditions;

    the conditions to Walgreens’ obligation to complete the Asset Sale and the right of Walgreens to terminate the Purchase Agreement in certain circumstances, including for breaches by us of our representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Purchase Agreement;
    the risks and costs to Graymark if the Asset Sale does not close, including the diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee and customer attrition and the potential impact on our business;
    the possibility of delays due to unforeseen circumstances including, without limitation, regulatory review, and the impact of any such delays on the ultimate timing for the completion of the transaction;

The Board considered all of the factors as a whole and the board unanimously considered the factors in their totality to be favorable to and in support of the decision to approve, adopt and declare advisable and expedient in all respects the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and to recommend that the shareholders approve the Asset Sale and adopt the Purchase Agreement. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Asset Sale, the Board did not find it practicable to and did not quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative or specific weight or values to any of these factors. In addition, each individual director may have given different weights to different factors.
On October 25, 2010, after careful consideration, the Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement and re-confirmed its prior approval of the Original Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale.
The foregoing discussion of the Board’s considerations concerning the Asset Sale is forward looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the discussions under the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information” in this Information Statement.
Opinion of Morgan Joseph LLC
On February 17, 2010, Graymark, with the Board’s authorization, engaged Morgan Joseph to act as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with a potential sale of all or part of the independent retail pharmacy business of ApothecaryRx. On August 5, 2010 the Company signed an additional engagement letter with Morgan Joseph in which the Company requested that Morgan Joseph evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Graymark and to ApothecaryRx of the consideration to be received by ApothecaryRx in connection with the Asset Sale.
At the August 30, 2010 meeting of the Board, Morgan Joseph provided its opinion that, as of such date and based upon and subject to various qualifications and assumptions described with respect to its opinion, the consideration to be received by ApothecaryRx in connection with the Asset Sale was fair, from a financial point of view, to Graymark and to ApothecaryRx. The opinion was prepared solely for the information of the Board for its use in connection with its consideration of the Asset Sale and was not intended to be, and does not constitute, a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how such shareholder should respond with respect to the Asset Sale.
A copy of Morgan Joseph’s written opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations of the scope of review undertaken by Morgan Joseph in rendering its opinion, is attached to this Information Statement as Annex B and is incorporated into this Information Statement by reference. The summary of the opinion of Morgan Joseph set forth in this document is supplemented by reference to the full text of such opinion and describes all material provisions of the opinion. Shareholders are urged to, and should, carefully read Morgan Joseph’s opinion in its entirety. Morgan Joseph was not requested to opine as to, and its opinion does not address, the relative merits of the Purchase Agreement or the Asset Sale or any alternatives to such transactions, the Company’s underlying decision to proceed with or effect the Asset Sale, or any other aspect of the Asset Sale.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. Morgan Joseph’s opinion, which is addressed to the Board and to ApothecaryRx, is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received in connection with the Asset Sale. Morgan Joseph’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of the Company’s common stock and does not address any other aspect of the proposed Asset Sale or any related transaction.
In conducting its analysis and arriving at its opinion, Morgan Joseph has reviewed and analyzed, among other things the following:
    A draft of the Purchase Agreement dated August 27, 2010, which has been represented as being substantially in the form of the definitive Purchase Agreement;
    The internal financial results for ApothecaryRx for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, interim financial reporting packages through June 30, 2010 as provided by the Company, and certain internal and other information and other data relating to ApothecaryRx and its business and prospects, including financial budgets, forecasts, projections prepared by the Company, and certain memoranda, in each case, provided to Morgan Joseph by the senior management of the Company;

    Certain proposals, indications of interests and letters of intent related to the divestiture of ApothecaryRx from the Company;
    Certain other publicly available business and financial information concerning ApothecaryRx and the industry in which it operates, which Morgan Joseph believes to be relevant;
    Certain publicly available information concerning certain other public companies and the trading markets for certain of such other companies’ securities which Morgan Joseph believes to be relevant; and
    The financial terms of certain unrelated transactions which Morgan Joseph believes to be relevant.
Morgan Joseph has also met with and held discussions with certain officers and employees of the Company concerning the business, operations, assets, present financial condition and prospects of ApothecaryRx, as well as the Asset Sale, and undertook such other studies, analyses, investigations and other efforts as they deemed appropriate. In connection with its review, Morgan Joseph assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to Morgan Joseph by the Company or any other party, and did not undertake any duty or responsibility to verify independently any of such information. Morgan Joseph has not made or obtained an independent appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of ApothecaryRx. With respect to financial forecasts and other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Morgan Joseph, Morgan Joseph assumed that such forecasts and other information and data were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management, and relied upon each party to advise Morgan Joseph promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of its review. Morgan Joseph is not responsible for any financial projections or forecasts provided by the Company, ApothecaryRx or their respective management teams.
In rendering its opinion, Morgan Joseph assumed that the Asset Sale would be executed on the terms described in the Purchase Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Purchase Agreement will be satisfied without being waived. Morgan Joseph expressed no opinion as to the underlying business decision regarding the Asset Sale, the structure or tax consequences of effecting the Asset Sale, or the availability or advisability of any alternatives to the Asset Sale. In the capacity of rendering the opinion, Morgan Joseph reviewed the terms of the Asset Sale and offered no judgment as to the negotiations resulting in such terms.
Summary of Financial Analyses Conducted by Morgan Joseph
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses underlying Morgan Joseph’s opinion, dated August 30, 2010 and delivered to the Board at its meeting of that date in connection with its consideration of the Asset Sale. The order of the analyses described below does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Morgan Joseph or by the Board. Considering such data without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses could create a misleading or incomplete view of Morgan Joseph’s financial analyses.
In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Joseph did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Morgan Joseph believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering all analyses, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

The description below explains Morgan Joseph’s methodology for evaluating the fairness, from financial point of view, of the consideration to be received in the Asset Sale. No company or transaction used in the analyses described below was deemed to be directly comparable to ApothecaryRx or the Asset Sale and the summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of all the analyses or data presented by Morgan Joseph.
Selected Publicly Traded Company Trailing and Forward Valuation Multiple Analysis. Morgan Joseph compared certain operating and valuation information for ApothecaryRx to certain publicly available operating and valuation information for five selected companies operating in the retail pharmacy industry, including:
    Walgreen Co.;
 
    CVS Caremark Corporation;
 
    Rite Aid Corporation;
 
    The Jean Coutu Group; and
 
    Shoppers Drug Market Corporation.
Morgan Joseph selected companies publicly traded on U.S. or Toronto stock exchanges with equity market capitalization of between $800 million and $38 billion. Morgan Joseph selected these companies because they are the only publicly traded companies of which Morgan Joseph is aware with significant retail pharmacy operations. As there are only a handful of publicly traded retail pharmacies, making comparisons is difficult. The comparable retail pharmacies and their approximate market capitalization (as of August 30, 2010) are as follows: Walgreen Co.: $27.7 billion; CVS Caremark Corporation: $38.6 billion; Rite Aid Corporation: $819 million; The Jean Coutu Group: $2.0 billion; and Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation $7.2 billion. Morgan Joseph analyzed the valuation multiples of these companies as of August 23, 2010 by observing the enterprise value (calculated as the sum of the market value of common equity and the value of net debt) divided by (i) actual or forecasted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) (adjusted for non-recurring income and expenses) and (ii) actual or forecasted revenue for the most recently available trailing twelve month (LTM) period and available estimates for the year ending December 31, 2010. Because of the size disparity between ApothecaryRx and the selected publicly traded companies and ApothecaryRx’s relatively lower operating margins, a 25% discount was applied to the median of the observed range to arrive at the midpoint of the Morgan Joseph determined range described below.
Morgan Joseph applied the range of enterprise value multiples implied by this publicly traded company analysis to ApothecaryRx’s estimated trailing twelve months (LTM) EBITDA and revenue as of June 30, 2010. Morgan Joseph reviewed the range of total enterprise values implied by this analysis and compared them to the sale price to be received by ApothecaryRx. The results of the selected public company LTM valuation multiple analysis are summarized below:
                         
Total Enterprise Value/LTM EBITDA   Range  
($ in millions)   Minimum     Median     Maximum

Selected Precedent Transactions Multiple Analysis. Morgan Joseph analyzed publicly available information relating to five selected acquisitions and prepared a summary of the relative transaction value multiples of revenue and EBITDA paid in these transactions. Morgan Joseph considered transactions with enterprise values of $25 million to $3.9 billion announced since January 2006 where there was sufficient publicly available information to obtain a transaction multiple of EBITDA and revenue. Morgan Joseph considered these transactions most analogous to the Asset Sale because they involved the sale of retail pharmacy or similar assets. The table below provides details relating to the transactions selected:

  Albertson’s, Inc.   CVS Caremark Corporation   Operator of a regional drugstore chain of approximately 700 stores     3,930       0.50 x      
Morgan Joseph reviewed the minimum, median and maximum relative transaction value multiples of the selected transactions and elected to use the entire breadth of the observed range as Morgan Joseph noted distinctions between the Asset Sale and the selected transactions, including the considerable difference in the PrairieStone Pharmacy operating model, as well as the size disparity of the Asset Sale compared to the other four selected transactions. Morgan Joseph then applied the range of transaction value multiples implied by this selected precedent transaction analysis to ApothecaryRx’s estimated trailing twelve months (LTM) EBITDA and revenue as of June 30, 2010. Morgan Joseph reviewed the range of total enterprise values implied by this analysis and compared them to the sale price to be received by ApothecaryRx. The results of the selected precedent transaction analysis are summarized below:

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Morgan Joseph analyzed the discounted present value of ApothecaryRx’s projected free cash flows for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and the full fiscal years ending December 31, 2011 through 2014 on a standalone basis. Morgan Joseph used unleveraged free cash flows, defined as tax affected earnings before interest, plus depreciation, plus amortization, less capital expenditures, less investment in working capital.
The discounted cash flow analysis was based on projections of ApothecaryRx’s financial performance that the Company’s management provided to Morgan Joseph on August 25, 2010, which represented the best available estimates and judgment of management. Consistent with the periods included in the financial projections, Morgan Joseph used calendar year 2014 as the final year for the analysis and applied assumed multiples, ranging from 6.6x to 8.6x, to calendar 2014 EBITDA in order to derive a range of terminal values for ApothecaryRx in 2014. Morgan Joseph selected the range of EBITDA multiples based on observed values for the comparable companies, Morgan Joseph’s familiarity with the retail pharmacy industry, including its long term growth prospects, and ApothecaryRx’s historic operating performance relative to that of the comparable companies.
The projected unleveraged free cash flows and terminal values were discounted using rates ranging from 13.2% to 15.2%, which reflected the weighted average after-tax cost of debt and equity capital weighted based on ApothecaryRx’s assumed optimal capital structure. An estimated sales price value for ApothecaryRx is summarized in the table below:

Prescription File Buy Analysis:
An alternative approach unique to retail pharmacy transactions is to assign a multiple to the prescription file of the target company while maintaining inventory and accounts receivable book values at par at the time of the transaction. Morgan Joseph analyzed four publicly traded retail pharmacy companies to derive adjusted enterprise value/LTM prescriptions as outlined below:

In valuing ApothecaryRx, Morgan Joseph then used a range of $6.57 to $10.57 per prescription, the minimum of multiples as the midpoint of the range in the analysis below and applied with the last twelve month prescriptions filled of approximately $1.46 million for ApothecaryRx.

Additional Considerations. Further Morgan Joseph also evaluated the range of values ascribed to ApothecaryRx by third parties in connection with the marketing process Morgan Joseph conducted. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Morgan Joseph believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering the analyses taken as a whole, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying the analyses set forth in its opinion. In addition, Morgan Joseph considered the results of all such analyses and did not assign relative weights to any of the analyses, but rather made qualitative judgments as to significance and relevance of each analysis and factor, so the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Morgan Joseph’s view of the actual value of ApothecaryRx.

Table of Contents

In performing its analyses, Morgan Joseph made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic and regulatory conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company or ApothecaryRx. The analyses performed by Morgan Joseph are not necessarily indicative of actual values, trading values or actual future results which might be achieved, all of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Such analyses were provided to the Board and were prepared solely as part of Morgan Joseph’s analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the consideration to be received in connection with the Asset Sale. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which companies may actually be sold, and such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. The opinion of Morgan Joseph was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Board in making their determinations to approve the Asset Sale. Consequently, the analyses described above should not be viewed as determinative of the Company’s, Board’s or any management’s opinion with respect to the value of ApothecaryRx. The Company placed no limits on the scope of the analysis performed, or opinion expressed, by Morgan Joseph. Morgan Joseph did not perform a liquidation analysis but did perform a leverage buyout analysis but did not believe that the later analysis provided meaningful results.
Although some analyses performed may imply an enterprise value higher than the range being offered in the Asset Sale, in reaching its conclusion, Morgan Joseph considered the results of all of the other analyses Morgan Joseph performed. Morgan Joseph believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering all analyses, would create an incomplete and potentially inaccurate view of the process underlying its opinion.
Morgan Joseph’s opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other circumstances and conditions existing and disclosed to it on August 30, 2010, and any material change in such circumstances and conditions may affect Morgan Joseph’s opinion, but Morgan Joseph does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm that opinion.
For services rendered in connection with the delivery of its opinion, the Company paid Morgan Joseph a fee of $250,000 upon delivery of its opinion, 50% of which is credited against the fee due under the terms of the engagement letter dated February 17, 2010. Morgan Joseph is also due a transaction fee equal to 2.25% of the aggregate consideration paid to ApothecaryRx in the Asset Sale upon consummation of the Asset Sale, of which $75,000 will be credited for a previously paid retainer fee. The exact amount of the transaction fee payable to Morgan Joseph will not be known until the final closing of the Asset Sale. The Company also agreed to reimburse Morgan Joseph for its expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, and will indemnify Morgan Joseph against certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.
Morgan Joseph is actively involved in the investment banking business and regularly undertakes the valuation of investment securities in connection with public offerings, private placements, business combinations and similar transactions. In the ordinary course of business, Morgan Joseph may trade in the securities of the Company for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
Assets
The assets being purchased by Walgreens include:
    substantially all the assets and properties of ApothecaryRx primarily used in or relating to the ownership and operation of ten retail pharmacies (the “Operate Location Pharmacies”), including all personal property, prescription files and records, customer lists and patient profiles, prescription pharmaceutical inventory, trademarks and trade names and related goodwill, and software and books, permits, and contracts; and
    all prescriptions, prescription files and records, customer lists and patient profiles, prescription pharmaceutical inventory, trademarks and trade names and related goodwill, and software and books and records related to eight retail pharmacies (the “File Transfer Pharmacies”).

Table of Contents

Purchase Price
In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, Walgreens agreed to pay ApothecaryRx up to $32,500,000 in cash and to assume certain of ApothecaryRx’s liabilities (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price consists of:
    $25,500,000 for the assets (other than inventory); plus
    up to $7,000,000 for inventory (the “Inventory Amount”); plus
    the amount of any security deposits transferred to Walgreens in connection with a Operate Location Pharmacy; less
    the amount of any remaining payments under goodwill protection agreements assumed by Walgreens as set forth in the Purchase Agreement; less
    any amounts due under the promissory notes assumed by Walgreens and not paid off prior to closing by ApothecaryRx.
Walgreens and ApothecaryRx have agreed to an inventory valuation by an independent valuator for purposes of determining the Inventory Amount at each pharmacy location, provided that the aggregate amount to be paid for the inventory cannot exceed $7,000,000. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, the valuation of the inventory performed by the independent valuator will be binding on the parties. In addition, Walgreens and ApothecaryRx have also agreed to share certain expenses incurred in connection with the inventory valuation, conversion of record data and transfer of phone services, provided that ApothecaryRx’s share of such amounts shall not exceed $1,700 per pharmacy location.
The Purchase Price may be adjusted downward. If ApothecaryRx is unable to deliver certain required consents or lease transfer documents to Operate Location Pharmacies to Walgreens prior to December 30, 2010, then such Operate Location Pharmacy and related assets shall not be transferred and will remain assets of ApothecaryRx, and the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to that Operate Location Pharmacy will not paid.
Of the Purchase Price, $2,000,000 will be deposited into an indemnity escrow account (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of ApothecaryRx under the Purchase Agreement. Of the $2,000,000 Indemnity Escrow Fund, $1,000,000 is subject to partial or full recovery by Walgreens if the average daily prescription sales at the Walgreens pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado over a six-month period after Walgreens purchases our retail pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado does not increase by a certain percentage of the average daily prescription sales by our retail pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado (the “Retention Rate Earnout”). In addition, if an agreement, on certain terms required by Walgreens, relating to the sale of the long-term care pharmacy business at our Sterling, Colorado pharmacy is not completed prior to the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens, an additional $1,500,000 will be deposited in an escrow fund (the “LTC Escrow Fund”) and is subject to deduction to the extent that certain of our former employees and their affiliates compete in the retail pharmacy business within the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement — Agreements Regarding the Sterling, Colorado Pharmacies” and “The Asset Purchase Agreement — Indemnity Escrow Agreement.”
As described below under “Closing of the Asset Sale,” the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement will occur in multiple stages by pharmacy location in conjunction with the completion of each inventory valuation. As a result, the Purchase Price will be allocated between the locations and paid out over each closing date. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement — Purchase Price and Adjustments” below for more information.
No Financing Condition
The Asset Sale is not conditioned on any financing arrangements.
Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the Asset Sale will be deposited in a restricted account at Arvest Bank, our primary lender. Of the proceeds, a total of $25.0 million will be used to reduce outstanding amounts under our credit facility with Arvest. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay transaction costs and other costs agreed to by Arvest.

Table of Contents

Arvest Bank
As a condition for the release of liens on the assets to be sold to Walgreens, Arvest Bank is requiring us to reduce the amount of the Arvest credit facility by $25.0 million, of which $22.0 million will be paid from proceeds received at each closing, and the remaining $3.0 million will be paid within 30 days after the final closing of the Asset Sale. After payment of these amounts, we estimate that remaining balance on the Arvest credit facility will be approximately $19.4 million. We may use the remaining funds from the Asset Sale to pay transaction costs and other costs agreed to by Arvest. In addition, we can use the amounts realized from collection of the accounts receivable for general corporate purposes.
Interests of Graymark Officers and Directors in the Asset Sale
Two employees of ApothecaryRx, Lewis P. Zeidner and James A. Cox, have agreed to enter into individual non-competition agreements with Walgreens in connection with the closing of the Asset Sale. Mr. Zeidner is also Graymark’s Chief Operating Officer.
Certain officers, directors and affiliates of Graymark have provided personal guarantees under the Company’s credit facility with Arvest Bank. We are required to use proceeds from the Asset Sale to reduce our obligations under the credit facility, and the effect of such reduction will be to reduce each guarantor’s potential liability under the credit facility.
In March 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Graymark Board of Directors granted bonus awards to Stanton Nelson, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Joseph Harroz, former President of the Company, of up to $300,000 and $140,000, respectively, payable upon the successful completion by Graymark of a “significant transaction” on or before December 31, 2010. For purposes of the bonus award, a significant transaction means a transaction deemed significant by the Board. The Board has not yet considered whether the Asset Sale, if completed, would constitute a significant transaction. Therefore, the Company cannot determine at this time whether these bonus awards will be paid in connection with the Asset Sale.
Accounting Treatment
The Asset Sale will be accounted for as a sale of assets transaction. At the closing of the Asset Sale, any excess in the purchase price received by ApothecaryRx, less transaction expenses, over the net book value of the net assets sold will be recognized as a gain.
Closing of the Asset Sale
In order to accommodate the transfer of assets at each pharmacy location, the parties have agreed to hold multiple closings by pharmacy location. Under federal securities laws, the Asset Sale may not be completed until 20 calendar days after the date of mailing of this Information Statement to Graymark’s shareholders. Assuming the conditions to closing have been met, the parties expect to begin the closing of the File Transfer Pharmacies within five business days after Graymark has complied with this 20-day requirement. The closing of the ten Operate Location Pharmacies would begin on a date mutually agreed to by the parties, provided that the required 20-day period has passed. The parties expect to complete the closing of the Asset Sale contemplated by the Purchase Agreement by December 31, 2010.
Regulatory Matters
Other than federal securities laws and certain required licenses, no United States federal or state regulatory requirements must be complied with or approvals obtained as a condition of the proposed Asset Sale.
Dissenters’ Rights
Under the OGCA, the Graymark’s shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the proposed Asset Sale.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale
We intend the following discussion to provide only a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale to the Company and its shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences, as well as the effects of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws. This summary does not address the treatment of shareholders under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

 

21


Table of Contents

This discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale. This discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing and proposed Treasury regulations thereunder and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences as described herein. This discussion is limited to U.S. corporations, U.S. trusts and estates, and U.S. residents and citizens that hold their shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, assets held for investment). This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular person or the tax consequences that may be relevant to persons subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including, among others, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions or persons that hold their Company stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons that are, or hold their Company stock through, partnerships or other pass-through entities, or persons who acquired their Company stock through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation). In addition, this discussion does not address any aspects of state, local, non-U.S. taxation or U.S. federal taxation other than income taxation.
The following discussion presents the opinion of the Company. No ruling has been requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the anticipated tax treatment of the Asset Sale, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below. Furthermore, the Company will not seek an opinion of counsel with respect to the anticipated tax treatment of the Asset Sale. If any of the conclusions stated herein proves to be incorrect, the result could be increased taxation at the corporate and/or shareholder level.
Consequences to the Company
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company will recognize gain or loss on the disposition of each of its assets pursuant to the Asset Sale in an amount equal to the difference between the portion of the total purchase price allocable to such asset and the Company’s adjusted tax basis in such asset. Any gain recognized by the Company from the Asset Sale may be offset by other tax attributes of the Company such as net operating losses or tax credits to the extent they are available and allowed by the U.S. federal tax laws. The Company has not evaluated the adjusted tax basis of its assets for purposes of the Asset Sale and therefore is not able to fully analyze the tax treatment of the transaction to determine if any gain will be realized in the transaction. Due to inadequate current information with respect to the Company’s tax basis in its assets as well as the potential adjustments to the Purchase Price, the Company is unable to provide additional disclosure in this report with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale.
Consequences to Shareholders
The Asset Sale will not produce any separate and independent tax consequences to our shareholders. However, upon distributions of any amounts (whether in cash or in kind) to the Company’s shareholders, the shareholders will recognize income and potentially be subject to the payment of income tax at that time. No distributions to shareholders are intended as a result of the consummation of the Asset Sale.
THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE TO ANY SHAREHOLDER OF THE COMPANY.

THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The following description summarizes the material provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which is included as Annex A to this Information Statement. The following description is not intended to provide any other factual information about Graymark, ApothecaryRx or Walgreens. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the text of the Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement should not be viewed or relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts about or conditions of Graymark, ApothecaryRx or Walgreens. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures. We urge you to read the full text of the Purchase Agreement because it is a legal document that governs the Asset Sale.

    Professional Discount Pharmacy, Oklahoma City, OK
 
    Newt’s Discount Pharmacy, Guthrie, OK
 
    Barnes Pharmacy, Sterling, CO
As a result of the Asset Sale, ApothecaryRx will have conveyed substantially all its assets. ApothecaryRx will retain some assets, including all cash or cash deposits, accounts receivable, all contracts, including leases, not otherwise purchased by Walgreens, certain inventory and equipment, and all personal property not located at the Operate Location Pharmacies. ApothecaryRx will retain some liabilities, including liabilities related to contracts not assumed by Walgreens, including leases.
Purchase Price and Adjustments
In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, Walgreens agreed to pay ApothecaryRx up to $32,500,000 in cash and to assume certain of ApothecaryRx’s liabilities (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price consists of:
    $25,500,000 for the assets (other than inventory) (the “Non-Inventory Amount”); plus
    up to $7,000,000 for inventory (the “Inventory Amount”); plus
    the amount of any security deposits transferred to Walgreens in connection with a Operate Location Pharmacy (the “Security Deposits”); less
    the amount of any remaining payments under goodwill protection agreements assumed by Walgreens (the “GPA Amount”); less
    any amounts due under the promissory notes assumed by Walgreens and not paid off prior to closing (the “Notes Amount”).
Walgreens and ApothecaryRx have agreed to an inventory valuation by an independent valuator for purposes of determining the Inventory Amount at each pharmacy location, provided that the aggregate amount to be paid for the inventory cannot exceed $7,000,000. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, the valuation of the inventory performed by the independent valuator will be binding on the parties. In addition, Walgreens and ApothecaryRx have also agreed to share certain expenses incurred in connection with the inventory valuation, conversion of record data and transfer of phone services, provided that ApothecaryRx’s share of such amounts shall not exceed $1,700 per pharmacy location. Walgreens may set off ApothecaryRx’s portion of the shared expenses from the Purchase Price.
On the applicable closing date for each pharmacy location, Walgreens will (1) pay a portion of the Purchase Price equal to the Non-Inventory Amount for such pharmacy location, plus the amount of any Security Deposits applicable to such pharmacy location, but less any GPA Amount, Notes Amount, and Indemnity Amount applicable to such pharmacy location, and (2) deposit a portion of the Indemnity Amount into the escrow account equal to $2,000,000 multiplied by the number obtained by dividing (a) the Non-Inventory Amount applicable to the pharmacy location being closed by (b) $25,500,000.
The Purchase Price may be adjusted downward if ApothecaryRx is unable to deliver required consents or lease transfer documents to certain Operate Location Pharmacies to Walgreens. If such consents are not delivered prior to December 30, 2010, then such Operate Location Pharmacy and related assets will not be transferred to Walgreens and will remain assets of ApothecaryRx, and the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to that Operate Location Pharmacy will not paid.
Of the Purchase Price, $2,000,000 will be deposited into the Indemnity Escrow Fund for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of ApothecaryRx under the Purchase Agreement (the “Indemnity Amount”). An additional $1,500,000 will be deposited into the LTC Escrow Fund if an agreement, on certain terms required by Walgreens, relating to the sale of the long-term care pharmacy business at our Sterling, Colorado pharmacy is not completed prior to the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens and is subject to deduction to the extent that certain of our former employees and their affiliates compete in the retail pharmacy business within the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens. See “Agreements Regarding the Sterling, Colorado Pharmacies” and “Indemnity Escrow Agreement” below.

As described below under “Conditions to Closing” and “Closing,” the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and will occur in multiple stages by pharmacy location in conjunction with the completion of each inventory valuation. As a result, the parties have agreed to apportion the Purchase Price among the various pharmacy locations so that only a portion of the total Purchase Price will be paid on each closing date. ApothecaryRx and Walgreens have agreed to the Non-Inventory Amount, GPA Amount, and Notes Amount to be allocated to each pharmacy location.

In addition, certain employees of ApothecaryRx, including our Chief Operating Officer, will enter into individual non-competition agreements with Walgreens as described above under “The Asset Sale — Interests of Graymark Officers and Directors in the Asset Sale.”
Agreements Regarding the Sterling, Colorado Pharmacies
As a result of events subsequent to September 1, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement in order to address specific circumstances that arose in connection with the File-Transfer Pharmacies located in Sterling, Colorado, which we refer to as “Barnes I,” “Barnes II,” and together as the “Barnes Pharmacies.” Barnes I provides retail pharmacy services, and Barnes II provides long-term care pharmacy services.
Retention Rate Earnout. At the closing of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies, we will deliver a certificate to Walgreens setting forth the average daily prescription count at Barnes I, excluding certain non-standard business, for the six-month period ending on the day immediately prior to the closing date for the Barnes Pharmacies. On the six-month anniversary of the date of closing the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies, Walgreens will deliver a certificate to us setting forth the average daily prescription count at Walgreens’ pharmacy located in Sterling, Colorado, excluding certain non-standard business, for the six-month period following the closing date for the Barnes Pharmacies and setting forth the Retention Rate, as defined below. If, on the six-month anniversary of the closing of the Barnes Pharmacies, the Retention Rate is within the ranges set forth below, escrow funds will be distributed to Walgreens in the amounts indicated below (the “Retention Rate Earnout”):
         
% Range   Funds Paid to Buyer  
 
       
Equal to or less than 45%
  $ 1,000,000  
 
       
Greater than 45% but less than 50%
  $ 800,000  
 
       
Equal to or greater than 50% but less than 55%
  $ 600,000  
 
       
Equal to or greater than 55% but less than 60%
  $ 400,000  
 
       
Equal to or greater than 60% but less than 65%
  $ 200,000  
 
       
Equal to or greater than 65%
  $ 0.00  
The “Retention Rate” means the percentage equal to (a) the average daily prescription count for Walgreens’ pharmacy located in Sterling, Colorado set forth on the post-closing certificate described above, less an agreed upon baseline number of prescriptions, divided by (b) the average daily prescription count at Barnes I as set forth on the certificate delivered at the closing of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies as described above, provided that if Walgreens does not continue certain services for Barnes I customers for the six-month period following the closing date of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies, then the prescriptions included in the certificate delivered at the closing date that were filled utilizing such services will be excluded from the calculation of the Retention Rate.
LTC Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Walgreens is to enter into an agreement to sell the long-term care pharmacy business of Barnes II (the “Barnes LTC Agreement”). We have agreed that, if, and only if, the transactions contemplated by the Barnes LTC Agreement are not consummated prior to the closing of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies (an “LTC Agreement Failure”), then $1,500,000 of the purchase price applicable to the Barnes Pharmacies will be deposited in the LTC Escrow Fund (the “LTC Escrow Amount”). If the parties to the litigation described below (the “Barnes Parties”) do not compete with the business of Barnes I and Barnes II (i) during the six-month period following the closing date of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies or (ii) during the 18-month period following the closing date of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies, then $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, of the LTC Escrow Amount will be distributed to ApothecaryRx on such dates. In addition, if Walgreens completes the sale of all or part of Barnes II on terms substantially similar to the proposed Barnes LTC Agreement following the closing of the sale of the Barnes Pharmacies and none of the Barnes Parties have competed with the business of Barnes I and Barnes II, then the entire LTC Escrow Amount will be distributed to ApothecaryRx. The sole remedy for Walgreens in connection with any breaches as of the date hereof of representations, warranties, or covenants, or damages incurred with respect to the Barnes Pharmacies and arising from the litigation described below and based on facts and circumstances known to Buyer as of the date hereof is limited to the LTC Escrow Amount and the Retention Rate Earnout.
Outstanding Litigation. In addition, we will use our best efforts to settle the outstanding litigation between ApothecaryRx and certain former employees and affiliates of the Barnes Pharmacies and to fully enforce any rights and remedies we have under our existing agreements with the Barnes Parties.
Conditions to Closing
Under applicable federal securities laws, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement cannot be consummated until the end of the 20-day period beginning on the date when the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C is first distributed to Graymark shareholders.
In addition, under the Purchase Agreement, the obligation of Walgreens to complete each closing is subject to the following conditions:
    the representations and warranties of ApothecaryRx contained in the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of each closing date, except that representations and warranties not qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects;
    ApothecaryRx has performed or complied in all material respects with the covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with prior to the closing date;
    Graymark shall have received shareholder approval of the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement;
    there has been no material adverse effect, and no fact or condition exists or is threatened which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, on ApothecaryRx’s business or the Assets;
    delivery by ApothecaryRx of documents required to release all encumbrances on the Assets;

 

28


Table of Contents

    to the extent required prior to closing, Walgreens has obtained all permits or licenses required in order to operate the Assets;
    no governmental or legal orders exist prohibiting or restraining the closing;
    ApothecaryRx shall have granted Walgreens access to its employees as requested;
    Graymark shall have complied with Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
    all documents required to be delivered at the applicable closing have been so delivered;
    all required lease consents have been obtained; and
    ApothecaryRx has made available each operating retail pharmacy location being purchased by Walgreens for installation of equipment and wiring for data and communication or other store systems.
Under the Purchase Agreement, the obligation of ApothecaryRx to complete the closing is subject to the following conditions:
    the representations and warranties of Walgreens contained in the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of each closing date, except that representations and warranties not qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects;
    Walgreens has performed or complied in all material respects with the covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with prior to the closing date;
    no governmental or legal orders exist prohibiting or restraining the closing;
    Graymark shall have received shareholder approval of the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement;
    Graymark shall have complied with Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and
    the applicable portion of the Purchase Price and all documents required to be delivered at the applicable closing have been so delivered.
Closing
In order to accommodate the transfer of assets at each pharmacy location, the parties have agreed to hold multiple closings by pharmacy location. Assuming the conditions to closing have been met, the parties expect to begin the closing of the File Transfer Pharmacies within five business days after Graymark has complied with the 20-day waiting period noted above. The closing of the Operate Location Pharmacies would begin on a date mutually agreed to by the parties, provided that the required 20-day waiting period has passed. The parties expect to complete the closing of the Asset Sale contemplated by the Agreement by December 31, 2010.
Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Except for certain representations, the representations and warranties of ApothecaryRx contained in the Purchase Agreement and the certificates and other documents delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will terminate 18 months following the applicable closing date, provided no claim has been made relating to such representation or warranty prior to the end of the 18-month period. The representations of ApothecaryRx relating to organization and authority, no conflicts, title to assets, compliance with law and broker’s fees shall survive the closing of the Asset Sale until the date 30 days beyond the applicable statute of limitations. The representations of ApothecaryRx relating to taxes shall survive until 30 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such taxes. ApothecaryRx and Walgreens agree that the effect of the termination of survival of the representations and warranties is to bar any claim or cause of action based on the alleged inaccuracy of a representation or breach of warranty after the relevant termination date. The covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement will survive the closing of the Asset Sale indefinitely or until the date specified in such covenant or agreement.

Indemnification
ApothecaryRx agreed to indemnify Walgreens and its affiliates for losses arising from or incurred in connection with:
    any breach by ApothecaryRx of any warranty, covenant, agreement, or any inaccuracy of any of its representations contained in the Purchase Agreement or any certificate or and other documents delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;
    any failure by ApothecaryRx to perform any of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement;
    the failure by ApothecaryRx to pay, perform or discharge any liabilities not assumed by Walgreens;
    any claims for brokerage commissions or other compensation arising from the negotiation and execution of the Purchase Agreement;
    any claims by former, current, or future holders of rights or interests in ApothecaryRx or any creditor of ApothecaryRx arising from or relating to the execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale; and
    any breach of the individual non-competition agreements entered into by Lewis P. Zeidner and James A. Cox during the time such individuals are employees of ApothecaryRx or its affiliates.

Walgreens has agreed to indemnify ApothecaryRx and its affiliates against all losses incurred in connection with or arising from:
    any breach by Walgreens of its representations or warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement or any certificate or and other documents delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;
    any breach by Walgreens of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in the Purchase Agreement or any certificate or and other documents delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;
    any liability assumed by Walgreens; and
    the use of borrowed permits by Walgreens on and after the applicable closing date.
Indemnity Escrow Agreement
For purposes of satisfying any claims for indemnity, Walgreens and ApothecaryRx agreed to enter into an escrow agreement whereby $2,000,000 of the Purchase Price will be deposited with an escrow agent (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”). Generally, under the terms of the escrow agreement, on the 12-month anniversary of the final closing date, the escrow agent will release 50% of the remaining funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund after deducting any amounts subject to a pending claim for indemnification by Walgreens. On the 18-month anniversary of the final closing date, all remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Fund will be distributed to ApothecaryRx and the escrow agreement will terminate if no claims for indemnification are pending or remain unpaid. If, however, any claims for indemnification are pending or remain unpaid on the 18-month anniversary date, the escrow agreement will remain in effect until such claims are resolved, provided if the outstanding claims are less than the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the escrow agent will distribute to ApothecaryRx the difference between such amount and the remaining the Indemnity Escrow Fund on the 18-month anniversary date.
In addition, of the $2,000,000 Indemnity Escrow Fund, $1,000,000 is subject to partial or full recovery by Walgreens if the average daily prescription sales at the Walgreens pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado over a six-month period after Walgreens purchases our retail pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado does not increase by a certain percentage of the average daily prescription sales by our retail pharmacy in Sterling, Colorado. Furthermore, if an agreement, on certain terms required by Walgreens, relating to the sale of the long-term care pharmacy business at our Sterling, Colorado pharmacy is not completed prior to the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens, an additional $1,500,000 will be deposited in an escrow fund (the “LTC Escrow Fund”) and is subject to deduction to the extent that certain of our former employees and their affiliates compete in the retail pharmacy business within the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the sale of that pharmacy to Walgreens. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement — Agreements Regarding the Sterling, Colorado Pharmacies” above for additional information.
Termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement
The Purchase Agreement sets forth the rights of each party to terminate the Purchase Agreement prior to the closing of the Asset Sale and provides that the Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to closing as follows:
    by the mutual written consent of ApothecaryRx and Walgreens;
    by Walgreens if ApothecaryRx defaults on any of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the default results in a failure of a Walgreens closing condition to be satisfied, and such default is not cured within the sooner of (i) 10 days after receipt of notice of the default or (ii) November 30, 2010, provided all ApothecaryRx’s closing conditions have been satisfied or waived by ApothecaryRx;
    by ApothecaryRx if Walgreens defaults on any of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the default results in a failure of a ApothecaryRx closing condition to be satisfied, and such default is not cured within the sooner of (i) 10 days after receipt of notice of the default or (ii) November 30, 2010, provided all Walgreens’s closing conditions have been satisfied or waived by Walgreens;

 

31


Table of Contents

    by ApothecaryRx or Walgreens if any governmental authority has issued a final, non-appealable order or ruling permanently restraining or prohibiting the Asset Sale; or
    by ApothecaryRx or Walgreens if the first closing has not occurred on or before December 31, 2010 (or such later date as the parties may mutually agree) provided the party seeking termination is not in breach of the Purchase Agreement.
If the Purchase Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties are terminated without further liability except for each party’s obligation (i) not make any public announcements without prior approval of the other party, and (ii) to pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Purchase Agreement (other than certain shared expenses agreed to by the parties, if any).
In addition, termination of the Purchase Agreement does not relieve any party from liability for its willful breach of the Purchase Agreement.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION
Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this Information Statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:
    If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact us at our offices at 1350 Oklahoma Tower, 210 Park Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, to inform us of their request; or
    If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

These reports and other information can be inspected and copied at, and copies of these materials can be obtained at prescribed rates from, the Public Reference Section of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-1004.

8.3. Indemnity Fund; Termination of Indemnity Fund. For purposes of satisfying any amounts owed to any Buyer Group Member under this Agreement, the Buyer Group Members shall be entitled (subject to final determination of the right to, and amount of, indemnification pursuant to Section 8.4(b)) to either (i) charge the amount of any Loss and Expense against (and be entitled to receive payment from) the Indemnity Fund until the amounts owed under this Article VIII exceed the Indemnity Fund, (ii) set off and reduce any amounts owed to Seller under this Agreement or (iii) otherwise initiate proceedings to seek recovery directly from Seller or, pursuant to Section 11.12, from Parent.
(b) On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Final Closing Date, the Indemnity Agent shall distribute in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement fifty percent (50%) of the total funds held in the Indemnity Fund after deducting from the total funds the amounts for which claims for indemnification by any Buyer Group Member are pending or remain unpaid, each as of such date.
(c) In the event that on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Final Closing Date no claims for indemnification by any Buyer Group Member are pending or remain unpaid, the Indemnity Fund shall terminate and any funds then remaining in the Indemnity Fund shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Alternatively, in the event that on such date, any such good faith claims for indemnification are pending or remain unpaid, the Indemnity Fund shall not terminate and any funds remaining in the Indemnity Fund shall not be distributed to Seller or any of its creditors or shareholders unless and until all such claims have been resolved and, if appropriate, paid in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that if the aggregate maximum amount of such claims are less than the then existing Indemnity Fund, the Indemnity Agent shall distribute such difference in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.
8.4. Notice and Determination of Claims. The party which is entitled to indemnification hereunder (for purposes of this Section 8.4, the “Indemnified Person”) may make claims for indemnification hereunder by promptly giving written notice thereof to the party required to indemnify (for purposes of this Section 8.4, the “Indemnitor”). If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party (the “Third Person Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall also give written notice thereof to the Indemnitor promptly after it receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so, or any delay in doing so, shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Article VIII, unless, and then only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnitor are materially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice. Such notice shall in good faith summarize the bases for the claim for indemnification (the “Claim Notice”) describing such Loss or Expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Loss or Expense, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement, any certificate or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss or Expense shall have occurred.

Table of Contents

(b) Within fourteen (14) days after receiving such notice (or sooner as is reasonably necessary, in the case of a Third Person Claim), the Indemnitor shall give written notice to the Indemnified Person stating whether it in good faith disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any Third Person Claim at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnitor fails to give timely notice that it will defend a Third Person Claim it shall be deemed to have refused to defend such Third Person Claim. The amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Person shall be entitled under this Article VIII shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final, non-appealable judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Person and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.
8.5. Third Person Claims. Subject to Section 8.5(b), the Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Person Claim against such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor, and in any such case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Person Claim, provided, however, that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder and all other rights to recover on such claim from the Indemnitor unless the Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the Indemnitor to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably withheld, in which event no claim for indemnity therefor hereunder shall be waived; provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a full release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any Third Person Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless the terms of any settlement or compromise provide for (i) no relief other than the payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full and (ii) a full release of the Indemnified Party for all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above which grant to the Indemnitor the right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim, if (i) the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense or fails to assume the defense in a timely manner, (ii) the Indemnitor and any Indemnified Party are both parties to or subjects of such Third Person Claim and a conflict of interests exists between the Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party which has the potential of materially and adversely affecting the interests of the Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Person Claim or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines in good faith that the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates are reasonably likely to be adversely affected in any material respect in such Third Person Claim other than as a result of monetary damages, then the Indemnified Party may conduct its own defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor to represent or defend it against such Third Person Claim, in which case the Indemnitor will pay the reasonable Expenses of such counsel. If the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, the Indemnitor shall reasonably cooperate in providing information to and consulting with the Indemnified Party about the Third Person Claim.

8.6. Calculation of Losses and Expenses. Any indemnity payment hereunder with respect to any Loss or Expense shall be calculated on an “After-Tax Basis”, which shall mean an amount which is sufficient to compensate the Indemnified Person for the event giving rise to such Loss or Expense (the “Indemnified Event”), determined after taking into account (a) all increases in federal, state, local or other Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of the receipt of the indemnity payment (as a result of the indemnity payment being included in income, resulting in a reduction of Tax basis, or otherwise), (b) to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of the such Loss or Expense, all increases in federal, state, local and other Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of the Indemnified Event for all affected taxable years or periods ending on or before the Final Closing Date and with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Final Closing Date, and (c) to the extent not previously taken into account in computing the amount of such Loss or Expense, all reductions in federal, state, local and foreign Taxes realized by the Indemnified Person as a result of the Indemnified Event for all affected taxable years or periods ending on or before the Final Closing Date and with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Final Closing Date.
8.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.
8.8. Certain Limitations on Indemnity. In no event will Seller’s aggregate liability for breaches of representations and warranties hereunder (by indemnification or otherwise) exceed Eight Million One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($8,125,000.00) (other than with respect to liability for breaches of Sections 5.1 (Organization and Authority; Parent Shareholder Approval), 5.2 (No Conflicts), 5.4 (Title and Sufficiency), 5.19 (Compliance With Law; Permits; Medicare and Medicaid), or 5.24 (Broker) (together, the “Fundamental Reps”) or 5.3 (Taxes), as to which this proviso shall have no effect) _____. The amount of any indemnification provided under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Person under insurance policies (net of any costs incurred in obtaining such recovery, including increased insurance premiums to the Indemnified Person) and the parties agree that each Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue in good faith claims under applicable insurance policies, provided that where a Buyer Group Member is an Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person’s only obligation hereunder shall be to file claims under insurance policies made available to Buyer by Seller and such Indemnified Person shall not be obligated to pursue litigation or incur any other related expense.

ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1. Survival of Obligations. Except for the Fundamental Reps (which shall survive for thirty (30) days beyond the applicable statute of limitations), the respective representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement (together with the indemnification rights with respect thereto) will survive each Applicable Closing Date for a period of eighteen (18) months and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect, except for any claim asserted by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, with respect thereto before the end of such eighteen (18) month period; provided, however, that Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to any Taxes covered by this Agreement shall survive each Applicable Closing until thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of all statutes of limitations (including any and all extensions thereof) applicable to such Taxes (the “Tax Survival Period”), except for any claim asserted by Buyer with respect thereto before the end of the Tax Survival Period which shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally paid or adjudicated. The intended effect of termination of representations and warranties (and the indemnification rights with respect thereto) is to bar, from and after the date of termination, any claim or cause of action based on the alleged inaccuracy of such representation or breach of such warranty, or with regard to claims for indemnity with respect thereto. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive each Applicable Closing indefinitely.
11.2. No Public Announcement. Neither party shall, without the approval of the other party, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that a party may be so obligated by law, regulation or stock exchange or quotation system (including the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market), in which case the parties shall use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued. In any event, no such press release or other public announcement shall be made by either party prior to Seller having received the Parent Shareholder Approval and provided the Parent Shareholder Approval Evidence to Buyer; provided that Parent may make any required disclosures (including a Current Report on Form 8-K) within the time required.
11.3. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person, by telex or telecopier, when delivered to a recognized next business day courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, first class, registered or certified, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, addressed as follows or to such other address as notice shall have been given pursuant hereto:

11.4. Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Buyer may assign any of its rights and interests hereunder to any Person; provided, however, Buyer may not assign and be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder, other than to an Affiliate, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall not assign any of its rights, interest and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Buyer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Except as set forth in Article VIII, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 11.4 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
11.5. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and the documents delivered pursuant hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto, other than the letter confidentiality agreement dated April 23, 2010, between Parent and Buyer which will remain in effect until Closing at which time the parties agree it will terminate, notwithstanding anything in such letter confidentiality agreement to the contrary. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto.
11.6. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
11.7. Expenses. Except for the Shared Expenses, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants. All items of income and expense incurred in connection with the Purchased Assets (including rent, expenses, utilities, prepayments, deposits and similar items) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer such that Seller shall receive and be responsible for all items of income and expense earned or incurred prior to each Applicable Closing Date and Buyer shall receive and be responsible for all items of income and expense earned or incurred on or after each Applicable Closing Date. The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to settle and pay such amounts within ninety (90) days after the Final Closing. For administrative convenience, Buyer shall pay and be liable for the Shared Expenses. In consideration therefore, the parties agree that Buyer will be reimbursed, through a credit against the Purchase Price, equal to Seller’s share of the Shared Expenses as set forth in Section 3.2(b). If the amount of Seller’s share of Shared Expenses so credited is not the actual amount determined at a later dated, the difference will be settled with other expenses as provided above in this Section.

11.8. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
11.9. Injunctive Relief; Remedies.
(a) If any party fails to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement, the party claiming default will serve written notice to the other party specifying the nature of such default and demanding performance. If such a default by Seller is of a nature that would cause a failure of one or more of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.2 to be satisfied, and such default has not been cured within the sooner of ten (10) days after receipt of such default notice or the Termination Date and each of the conditions contained in Section 9.1 has been either fulfilled in all material respects or waived in writing by Seller, Buyer will be entitled to exercise all remedies arising at law by reason of such default, including, without limitation, termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X. If such a default by Buyer is of a nature that would cause a failure of one or more of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.1 to be satisfied, and such default has not been cured within the sooner of ten (10) days after receipt of such default notice or the Termination Date and each of the conditions contained in Section 9.2 has been either fulfilled in all material respects or waived in writing by Buyer, Seller will be entitled to exercise all remedies arising at law by reason of such default, including, without limitation, termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X. The parties agree that any breach or threatened breach by Seller of or its Affiliates of Section 7.2 of this Agreement would result in substantial and irreparable damage to Buyer, the amount of which would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Therefore, Seller agrees that in the event of any such breach or threatened breach thereof, Buyer shall have the right to enforce Section 7.2 of this Agreement by preliminary or permanent injunctive or other relief in equity, without the necessity of proving any actual damages or providing any bond or other security. The right of Buyer to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the terms of Section 7.2 hereof shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies it may otherwise have at law, in equity, or otherwise. Such right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief may be exercised, at the option of Buyer, concurrently with, prior to, after, or in lieu of the exercise of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have as a result of any breach or threatened breach of any of Section 7.2.

(b) The prevailing party or parties in any action brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith.
11.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement.
11.11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Illinois.
11.12. Parent Guaranty. Parent hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Buyer and its successors and permitted assigns the prompt and full discharge by Seller of all of Seller’s covenants, agreements, obligations, and liabilities under this Agreement, including the due and punctual payment of all amounts that are or may become due and payable by Seller hereunder when and as the same shall become due and payable, in accordance with the terms hereof and subject to the limitations set forth herein, including, without limitation, Seller’s indemnification obligations under Article VIII. The foregoing obligation of Parent constitutes a continuing guaranty of payment and is and shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, including without limitation, circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The obligation of Parent hereunder shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of Buyer to assert any claim or demand against Seller or to enforce any remedy hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this guaranty is subject to and Guarantor may assert all claims, counterclaims and defenses of Seller arising hereunder.

(the “Seller”) propose to enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will sell substantially all assets of ten of its pharmacy locations (the “Buy & Operate Stores”), customer lists, files and records, and other intangible assets of eight of the Company’s pharmacy locations (the “File Transfer Stores”), certain conforming inventory of the Buy & Operate Stores and File Transfer Stores (the “Inventory”) and certain identified contracts and leases (the “Contracts” and collectively, the “Assets”) but expressly excluding, without limitation, all cash, deposits, accounts receivables, pre-paid expenses, assets and records located at or related to Seller’s corporate operations, employee benefit plans, “ApothecaryRx” trademarks, and any tax refunds or liabilities for a total of $25.5 million in cash, plus up to $7.0 million in cash for the Inventory, plus any security deposits for assumed leases, and less the sum of amounts due at closing under certain Goodwill Protection Agreements and Promissory Notes assumed by the Buyer (the “Consideration”), and the Buyer will purchase the Assets from the Company for the Consideration (such purchase and sale is referred to as the “Proposed Transaction”). The terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are more fully described in the Agreement.
You have requested that we render our opinion to the board of directors of the Seller (the “Board of Directors”) and to the Company as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the Seller and the Company, of the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Proposed Transaction.
In conducting our analysis and arriving at our opinion, we have reviewed and analyzed, among other things, the following:
i.   A draft of the Agreement dated August 27, 2010, which you have represented to us is, with respect to all material terms and conditions thereof, substantially in the form of the definitive Agreement to be executed and delivered by the parties thereto promptly after the receipt of this opinion;
ii.   The internal financial results for the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, interim financial reporting packages through June 30, 2010 as provided by the Seller, and certain internal information and other data relating to the Company and its business and prospects, including financial budgets, forecasts, projections prepared by the Seller, and certain memoranda, in each case, provided to us by the senior management of the Seller;

iii.   Certain proposals, Indications of Interests and Letters of Intent related to the divestiture of the Company from the Seller;
iv.   Certain other publicly available business and financial information concerning the Company and the industry in which it operates, which we believe to be relevant;
v.   Certain publicly available information concerning certain other public companies and the trading markets for certain of such other companies’ securities which we believe to be relevant;
vi.   The financial terms of certain unrelated transactions which we believe to be relevant; and
We have also met with and held discussions with certain officers and employees of the Seller concerning the business, operations, assets, present financial condition and prospects of the Company, as well as the Proposed Transaction, and undertook such other studies, analyses, investigations and other efforts as we deemed appropriate.
We have, with your permission, assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and data used by us or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us, and upon the assurances of management of the Seller that no information relevant to this Opinion has been omitted or remains undisclosed to us, and have not attempted independently to verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or data, nor do we assume any responsibility to do so. We have relied upon each party to advise us promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of review. We have also assumed, with your permission, that the forecasts and projections provided to or reviewed by us have been reasonably prepared in good faith based upon the best current estimates, information and judgment of the senior management of the Seller as to their respective future financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In that regard, we have assumed, with your permission, that (i) the forecasts and projections will be achieved at the times and in the amounts contemplated thereby and (ii) all material assets and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company are as set forth in the Company’s financial statements or other information made available to us. We express no opinion with respect to the forecasts and projections or the estimates and judgments upon which they are based. We are not responsible for any financial projections or forecasts provided by the Seller, the Company or their respective management teams. We have made no independent investigation of any legal, accounting or tax matters, and have assumed, with your permission, the correctness of all legal, accounting and tax advice given the Seller and the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. With your permission, we have further relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that (i) the Proposed Transaction will be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with all applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations, and (ii) all governmental, regulatory, and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be obtained and that no delay, limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would result in the disposition of any material portion of the assets of the Company, or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company or any expected benefits of the Proposed Transaction. We have not conducted a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of the Company, nor have we made or obtained any independent evaluation or appraisal of such properties and facilities and we have not assumed any responsibility to do so. Our opinion necessarily is based upon economic, market, financial, political, regulatory and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and we assume no responsibility to update or revise our opinion based upon events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof. No opinion is expressed as to whether any alternative transaction might result in terms and conditions more favorable to the Seller or the Company than those contemplated by the Proposed Transaction.

This opinion is provided for the sole use and benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction. Furthermore, this letter should not be construed as creating a fiduciary duty on the part of Morgan Joseph LLC to any party. This opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Seller to approve the Proposed Transaction, and it does not constitute a recommendation to the Seller, the Company, the Board of Directors, any committee of the Board of Directors, the shareholders of the Seller, or any other person as to any specific action or vote that should be taken in connection with the Proposed Transaction. We express no opinion with respect to any other reasons, legal, business, or otherwise, that may support the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to the Proposed Transaction. In addition, we do not express a view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to or to be received by any of the officers, directors or employees of the Seller, the Company, or any class of such persons, in connection with the Proposed Transaction, relative to the compensation payable to or to be received by any other person. This opinion was authorized for issuance by the Morgan Joseph Opinion Committee. This opinion may not be reproduced, summarized, excerpted from or otherwise publicly referred to or disclosed in any manner without our prior written consent.
In arriving at this opinion, we did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by us, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, we believe that our analysis must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of our analyses, without considering all of our analyses, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying this opinion.
Pursuant to the terms of our engagement letter with the Seller dated February 17, 2010, we are acting as exclusive financial advisor to the Seller in connection with the Proposed Transaction and will receive a fee from the Seller, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, we will receive a fee for rendering this opinion which is payable regardless of either the conclusion expressed herein or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, the Seller has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of our engagement. In the ordinary course of our business, we may acquire, hold or sell, long or short positions, or trade or otherwise effect transactions in debt, equity and other securities and financial instruments (including loans and other obligations) of, or investments in, the Seller. Other than this engagement and our future engagement by the Seller to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Seller’s efforts to obtain financing unrelated to the Proposed Transaction which you are aware, we have not been, and are not, engaged by any of the Seller, the Company or by the Buyer. We may in the future seek to provide investment banking services to the Seller for which we would expect to receive customary compensation.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other factors as we deem relevant, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Seller and the Company.
     
 
  Very truly yours,
 
   
 
  /s/ MORGAN JOSEPH LLC

GRAYMARK HEALTHCARE, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
For the Periods Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Note 1 — Nature of Business
Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) is organized in Oklahoma and is a diversified medical holding company that operates in two operating segments: Sleep Management Solutions (“SMS”) and ApothecaryRx.
Through SMS, the Company provides diagnostic sleep testing services and care management solutions for people with chronic sleep disorders. In addition, the Company sells equipment and related supplies and components used to treat sleep disorders. The Company’s products and services are used primarily by patients with obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA. SMS sleep centers provide monitored sleep diagnostic testing services to determine sleep disorders in the patients being tested. The majority of the sleep testing is to determine if a patient has OSA. A continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, device is the American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s, or AASM, preferred method of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. The Company’s sleep diagnostic facilities also determine the correct pressure settings for patient treatment with positive airway pressure. SMS sells CPAP devices and supplies to patients who have tested positive for sleep apnea and have had their positive airway pressure determined. There are noncontrolling interest holders in some of the SMS’ testing facilities, who are typically physicians in the geographical area being served by the diagnostic sleep testing facility.
Through our ApothecaryRx segment, the Company operates independent retail pharmacy stores selling prescription drugs and a small assortment of general merchandise, including diabetic merchandise, non-prescription drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods. As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned and operated 18 retail pharmacies located in Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The Company has historically grown its pharmacy business by acquiring financially successful independently-owned retail pharmacies from long-term owners that were approaching retirement. The Company’s pharmacies have successfully maintained market share due to their convenient proximity to healthcare providers and services, high customer service levels, longevity in the community, competitive pricing. Additionally, ApothecaryRx independent pharmacies offer supportive services and products such as pharmaceutical compounding, durable medical equipment, and assisted and group living facilities. ApothecaryRx pharmacies are located in mid-size, economically-stable communities and the Company believes that a significant amount of the value of our pharmacies resides in retaining the historical pharmacy name and key staff relationships in the community.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a complete list of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned, majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition —
Sleep center services and product sales from the Company’s SMS operating segment are recognized in the period in which services and related products are provided to customers and are recorded at net realizable amounts estimated to be paid by customers and third-party payers. For certain sleep therapy and other equipment sales, reimbursement from third-party payers occurs over a period of time, typically 10 to 13 months. The Company recognizes revenue, and the corresponding cost of goods sold, on these sales as payments are earned over the payment period stipulated by the third-party payor. Insurance benefits are assigned to the Company and, accordingly, the Company bills on behalf of its customers. The Company has established an allowance to account for contractual adjustments that result from differences between the amount billed and the expected realizable amount. Actual adjustments that result from differences between the payment amount received and the expected realizable amount are recorded against the allowance for contractual adjustments and are typically identified and ultimately recorded at the point of cash application or when otherwise determined pursuant to the Company’s collection procedures. Revenues in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are reported net of such adjustments.
Pharmacy product sales from the Company’s ApothecaryRx operating segment are recorded at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Customer returns are immaterial and are recorded at the time merchandise is returned.
Due to the nature of the healthcare industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time products or services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payers may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
Included in accounts receivable are earned but unbilled receivables of approximately $389,000 and $797,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Unbilled accounts receivable represent charges for services delivered to customers for which invoices have not yet been generated by the billing system. Prior to the delivery of services or equipment and supplies to customers, the Company performs certain certification and approval procedures to ensure collection is reasonably assured and that unbilled accounts receivable is recorded at net amounts expected to be paid by customers and third-party payers. Billing delays, ranging from several weeks to several months, can occur due to delays in obtaining certain required payer-specific documentation from internal and external sources, interim transactions occurring between cycle billing dates established for each customer within the billing system and new sleep centers awaiting assignment of new provider enrollment identification numbers. In the event that a third-party payer does not accept the claim for payment, the customer is ultimately responsible.
The Company performs analysis to evaluate the net realizable value of accounts receivable on a quarterly basis. Specifically, the Company considers historical realization data, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends and relevant business conditions. Because of continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that the Company’s estimates could change, which could have a material impact on its operating results and cash flows in subsequent periods.

Restricted cash — As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had long-term restricted cash of approximately $236,000 included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount is pledged as collateral to the Company’s senior bank debt and bank line of credit.
Accounts receivable — The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from Medicare, private insurance carriers and other third-party payors, as well as from customers under co-insurance and deductible provisions.
The Company’s allowance for contractual adjustments and doubtful accounts is primarily attributable to the Company’s SMS operating segment. Third-party reimbursement is a complicated process that involves submission of claims to multiple payers, each having its own claims requirements. In some cases, the ultimate collection of accounts receivable subsequent to the service dates may not be known for several months. The Company has established an allowance to account for contractual adjustments that result from differences between the amounts billed to customers and third-party payers and the expected realizable amounts. The percentage and amounts used to record the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods including current and historical cash collections, contractual adjustments, and aging of accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable are reported net of allowances for contractual adjustments and doubtful accounts as follows:
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2010     2009  
Allowance for contractual adjustments
  $ 4,096,938     $ 5,408,789  
Allowance for doubtful accounts
    3,153,297       4,550,238

Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill and other indefinitely-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment reviews during the fourth quarter, or more frequent reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment of goodwill.
Intangible assets other than goodwill which include customer relationships, customer files, covenants not to compete, trademarks and payor contracts are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from three to fifteen years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Discontinued Operations — Effective January 1, 2009, management of the Company elected to discontinue its film production and distribution operations. The income and expense from the ongoing marketing and distribution of the Company’s films is accounted for as discontinued operations.
Earnings (loss) per share — Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.
Fair value of financial instruments — The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. The Company calculates the fair value of its borrowings based on estimated market rates. Fair value estimates are based on relevant market information and information about the individual borrowings. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve matters of judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Estimated fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used. Based on the Company’s calculations at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted Guidance
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on January 6, 2010, for a scope clarification to the FASB’s previously-issued guidance on accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. These changes clarify the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a consolidated subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on January 21, 2010, to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to how assets and liabilities should be grouped by class and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on February 24, 2010, to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes clarified that an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with the SEC is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Other than the elimination of disclosing the date through which management has performed its evaluation for subsequent events, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.
In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). These changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Change in Accounting Method
On January 1, 2010, the Company elected to change its method of revenue recognition for sleep therapy equipment sales that are paid for over time (“rental equipment”) to recognize the revenue for rental equipment over the life of the rental period which typically ranges from 10 to 13 months. Prior to the acquisitions of somniTech, Inc., somniCare, Inc. and Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers, Inc. in the third quarter of 2009, the Company recognized the total amount of revenue for entire rental equipment period at the inception of the rental period with an offsetting entry for estimated returns. The entities that were acquired in 2009 recorded revenue for rental equipment consistent with method being adopted by the Company. Recording revenue for rental equipment over the life of the rental period will provide more accurate interim information as this method relies less on estimates than the previous method in which potential rental returns had to be estimated.
The Company has determined that it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying this change retrospectively because historical transactional level records are no longer available in a manner that would allow for the appropriate calculations for the historical periods presented. As a result, the Company will apply the change in revenue recognition for rental equipment on a prospective basis. As a result of the accounting change, the Company’s accumulated deficit increased $213,500, as of January 1, 2010, from $9,869,471, as originally reported, to $10,082,971.
Note 4 — Acquisitions
On August 24, 2009, the Company acquired somniTech, Inc. and somniCare, Inc. (“Somni”) for a purchase price of $5.9 million. On September 14, 2009, the Company acquired Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers, Inc. (“Eastern”) for a purchase price of $4.7 million. Somni and Eastern are included in the Company’s SMS operating segment.
The Company believes that the Somni and Eastern acquisitions solidify the Company as a national leader in quality sleep medicine. In addition, the Company expects to experience operational benefits from the Somni and Eastern acquisitions, including economies of scale and reduced overall overhead expenses.
The Somni and Eastern acquisitions were recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisitions to the assets acquired, including intangible assets, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, was recorded as goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. As of December 31, 2009, management had completed a preliminary valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Somni and Eastern acquisitions. In March 2010, management completed the fair value analysis and no adjustments were made to the amounts recorded at December 31, 2009. The final purchase allocations for the Somni and Eastern acquisitions were as follows:
                 
    Somni     Eastern

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $33.6 million of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions and other purchases. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

In May 2008 and as amended in May 2009 and July 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Arvest Bank consisting of a $30 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $15 million line of credit to be used for future acquisitions (the “Acquisition Line”); collectively referred to as the “Credit Facility”. The Term Loan was used by the Company to consolidate certain prior loans to the Company’s subsidiaries SDC Holdings LLC and ApothecaryRx LLC. The Term Loan and the Acquisition Line bear interest at the greater of the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal or the floor rate of 6%. Prior to June 30, 2010, the floor rate was 5%. The rate on the Term Loan is adjusted annually on May 21. The rate on the Acquisition Line is adjusted on the anniversary date of each advance or tranche. The Term Loan matures on May 21, 2014 and requires quarterly payments of interest only. Commencing on September 1, 2011, the Company is obligated to make quarterly payments of principal and interest calculated on a seven-year amortization based on the unpaid principal balance on the Term Loan as of June 1, 2011. Each advance or tranche of the Acquisition Line will become due on the sixth anniversary of the first day of the month following the date of the advance or tranche. Each advance or tranche is repaid in quarterly payments of interest only for three years and thereafter, quarterly principal and interest payments based on a seven-year amortization until the balloon payment on the maturity date of the advance or tranche. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and is personally guaranteed by various individual shareholders of the Company. Commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2010 and thereafter during the term of the Credit Facility, based on the latest four rolling quarters, the Company agreed to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of:
    the net income of the Company (i) increased by interest expense, amortization, depreciation, and non-recurring expenses as approved by Arvest Bank, and (ii) decreased by the amount of noncontrolling (minority) interest share of net income and distributions to noncontrolling (minority) interests for taxes, to
    annual debt service including interest expense and current maturities of indebtedness as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
If the Company were to acquire another company or its business, the net income of the acquired company and the Company’s new debt service associated with acquiring the company may both be excluded from the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, at the option of the Company.

Table of Contents

Effective June 30, 2010, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Facility that provided for an increase in the floor rate from 5% to 6% and the extension of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement from June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 0.9 to 1. The Company expects to achieve compliance by September 30, 2010 through a combination of operational and debt reduction strategies. If the Company sells assets which are collateral for the Credit Facility, then subject to certain exceptions and without the consent of Arvest Bank, such sale proceeds must be used to reduce the amounts outstanding to Arvest Bank. If the Company is unsuccessful in fully executing these strategies, it is not likely that the Company will achieve compliance by September 30, 2010 and there is no assurance that Arvest Bank will waive or further delay the requirement.
As of June 30, 2010, there was $30 million outstanding on the Term Loan consisting of $12,596,375 to the Company’s SMS operating segment and $17,403,625 to the Company’s ApothecaryRx operating segment. As of June 30, 2010, there was $14,396,935 outstanding on the Acquisition Line consisting of $9,002,341 to the Company’s SMS operating segment and $5,394,594 to the Company’s ApothecaryRx operating segment. As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $603,000 available under the Acquisition Line.
Note 7 — Stock Awards
On February 25, 2010, the Company issued 180,000 shares in restricted stock grant awards to certain key employees and directors. The fair value of the restricted stock grant awards was $209,000 and was calculated by multiplying the number of restricted shares issued times the closing share price on the date of issuance. The stock grants immediately vested and as a result, were recorded as compensation expense on the grant date.
On March 25, 2010, Joseph Harroz, Jr. gave notice of his resignation as the President of the Company effective June 30, 2010. Mr. Harroz will remain on the Company’s Board of Directors. In connection with Mr. Harroz’s resignation, the Company accelerated the vesting of 112,500 shares of restricted stock that was scheduled to vest on July 23, 2010. In conjunction with the acceleration, Mr. Harroz agreed to forfeit 37,500 shares of restricted stock that was scheduled to vest on July 23, 2010 and 150,000 shares that were scheduled to vest at future dates beyond 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, Mr. Harroz vested in 112,500 common stock shares under previously issued restricted stock grant awards. In accordance with the terms of the restricted stock grant agreement, Mr. Harroz elected to have the Company fund the personal tax withholding in the amount of approximately $26,000 that the Mr. Harroz owed at the time of vesting. In return, Mr. Harroz forfeited 24,131 of the shares vested which were calculated by dividing the tax withholding requirement by the market value of the stock on the date of vesting. In addition, a reduction to salary expense of approximately $15,000 was recorded and represents the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date and the weighted average price of the vested shares on the original grant date multiplied by the number of shares forfeited.
On April 1, 2010, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock pursuant to restricted stock awards to a key employee. The fair value of the restricted stock grant awards was $30,000 and was calculated by multiplying the number of restricted shares issued times the closing share price on the date of issuance. The stock grants vest as follows: 10,000 shares immediately vested, 10,000 shares vest on April 1, 2011 and 10,000 shares vest on April 1, 2012. In accordance with the terms of the restricted stock grant agreement, the employee elected to have the Company fund the personal tax withholding in the amount of approximately $3,000 that the employee owed for the shares that vested on April 1, 2010. In return, the employee forfeited 3,195 of the shares vested.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards was approximately $45,000 and $96,000, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards was approximately $392,000 and $186,000, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Audit Committee, Board of Directors,
     and Shareholders of Graymark Healthcare, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GRAYMARK HEALTHCARE, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Note 1 – Nature of Business
          Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) is organized under the laws of the state of Oklahoma and is a diversified medical holding company that operates in two operating segments: Sleep Management Solutions (“SMS”) and ApothecaryRx. The Company’s first operating segment, SMS, is one of the largest providers of care management solutions to the sleep disorder market based on number of independent sleep care centers and hospital sleep diagnostic programs operated in the United States. The Company provides a comprehensive diagnosis and care management solution for patients suffering from sleep disorders. The Company’s second operating segment, ApothecaryRx, operates independent retail pharmacy stores selling prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, and an assortment of general merchandise.
          Through SMS, the Company provides diagnostic sleep testing services and care management solutions for people with chronic sleep disorders. In addition, the Company sells equipment and related supplies and components used to treat sleep disorders. The Company’s products and services are used primarily by patients with obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA. SMS sleep centers provide monitored sleep diagnostic testing services to determine sleep disorders in the patients being tested. The majority of the sleep testing is to determine if a patient has OSA. A continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, device is the American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s, or AASM, preferred method of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. The Company’s sleep diagnostic facilities also determine the correct pressure settings for patient treatment with positive airway pressure. SMS sells CPAP devices and supplies to patients who have tested positive for sleep apnea and have had their positive airway pressure determined. There are noncontrolling interest holders in some of the SMS’ testing facilities, who are typically physicians in the geographical area being served by the diagnostic sleep testing facility.
          Through our ApothecaryRx segment, the Company operates independent retail pharmacy stores selling prescription drugs and a small assortment of general merchandise, including diabetic merchandise, non-prescription drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods. As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned and operated 18 retail pharmacies located in Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The Company has historically grown its pharmacy business by acquiring financially successful independently-owned retail pharmacies from long-term owners that were approaching retirement. The Company’s acquired pharmacies have successfully maintained market share due to their convenient proximity to healthcare providers and services, high customer service levels, longevity in the community, competitive pricing. Additionally, ApothecaryRx independent pharmacies offer supportive services and products such as pharmaceutical compounding, durable medical equipment, and assisted and group living facilities. ApothecaryRx pharmacies are located in mid-size, economically-stable communities and the Company believes that a significant amount of the value of our pharmacies resides in retaining the historical pharmacy name and key staff relationships in the community.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
          Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. and its wholly owned, majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
          Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          Revenue recognition
          Sleep center services and product sales from our SMS operating segment are recognized in the period in which services and related products are provided to customers and are recorded at net realizable amounts estimated to be paid by customers and third-party payors. Revenues from some of our product sales are paid over a specified rental period, typically 10 to 13 months. The Company recognizes this revenue in the month the rental commitment is entered into along with a reserve for estimated returns. The Company’s newly acquired Somni business units, recognize the revenue on these sales as the monthly payments become due. The Company plans to adopt a unified revenue recognition practice for these transactions during 2010. Some of our services are provided under management service agreements and revenue from those agreements is recognized in the period services are provided. Other than services provided under a management service agreement, insurance benefits are assigned to us and, accordingly, we bill on behalf of our customers. The Company has established an allowance to account for contractual adjustments that result from differences between the amount billed and the expected realizable amount. Actual adjustments that result from differences between the payment amount received and the expected realizable amount are recorded against the allowance for contractual adjustments and are typically identified and ultimately recorded at the point of cash application or when otherwise determined pursuant to our collection procedures. Revenues in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are reported net of such adjustments.
          Pharmacy product sales from the Company’s ApothecaryRx operating segment are recorded at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Customer returns are immaterial and are recorded at the time merchandise is returned. Sales taxes are not included in revenue.
          Due to the nature of the healthcare industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time products and/or services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payers may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
          Included in accounts receivable are earned but unbilled receivables. Unbilled accounts receivable represent charges for services delivered to customers for which invoices have not yet been generated by the billing system. Prior to the delivery of services or equipment and supplies to customers, we perform certain certification and approval procedures to ensure collection is reasonably assured and that unbilled accounts receivable are recorded at net amounts expected to be paid by customers and third-party payers. Billing delays, ranging from several weeks to several months, can occur due to delays in obtaining certain required payer-specific documentation from internal and external sources, interim transactions occurring between cycle billing dates established for each customer within the billing system and new sleep centers awaiting assignment of new provider enrollment identification numbers. In the event that a third-party payer does not accept the claim for payment, the customer is ultimately responsible.
          The Company performs analysis to evaluate the net realizable value of accounts receivable on a quarterly basis. Specifically, the Company considers historical realization data, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends and relevant business conditions. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that the Company’s estimates could change, which could have a material impact on its operations and cash flows.
          During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s revenue payer mix by operating segment was as follows:
                                 
    SMS   ApothecaryRx
    2009   2008   2009   2008
Managed care organizations
    78 %     94 %     35 %     40 %
Medicaid / Medicare
    18 %     6 %     50 %     41 %
Private-pay
    4 %     < 1 %     15 %     19 %

          Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
          Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable are reported net of allowances for contractual sales adjustments and uncollectible accounts of $9,959,027 and $13,142,913 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from private insurance carriers, Medicaid / Medicare and other third party payors, as well as from customers under co-insurance and deductible provisions.
          The Company’s allowance for contractual adjustments and uncollectible accounts is primarily attributable to the Company’s SMS operating segment. Third-party reimbursement is a complicated process that involves submission of claims to multiple payers, each having its own claims requirements. In some cases, the ultimate collection of accounts receivable subsequent to the service dates may not be known for several months. The Company has established an allowance to account for sales adjustments that result from differences between the payment amounts received from customers and third-party payers and the expected realizable amounts. The percentage and amounts used to record the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods including current and historical cash collections, sales adjustments, and aging of accounts receivable.
          Approximately 37% of the Company’s accounts receivable are from Medicare and Medicaid programs and another 47% are due from major insurance companies. The Company has not experienced losses due to the inability of these major insurance companies to meet their financial obligations and does not foresee that this will change in the near future.
          Restricted cash – As of December 31, 2009, the Company had long-term restricted cash of $236,000 included in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount is pledged as collateral to the Company’s senior bank debt and bank line of credit. There was no restricted cash at December 31, 2008.
          Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the cost of products acquired for sale. The Company accounts for inventories using the first in–first out method of accounting for substantially all of its inventories. Independent physical inventory counts are taken on a regular basis in each retail pharmacy store.
          Property and equipment – Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight line method to depreciate the cost of various classes of assets over their estimated useful lives. At the time assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and depreciation accounts; profits and losses on such dispositions are reflected in current operations. Fully depreciated assets are written off against accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
          The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:
     
Asset Class   Useful Life
Equipment
  5 to 7 years
Software
  3 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures
  7 years
Leasehold improvements
  25 years or remaining lease period, whichever is shorter
Vehicles
  3 to 5 years
          Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill and other indefinitely – lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment reviews, or more frequent reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment of goodwill.

C-24


Table of Contents

          Intangible assets other than goodwill which include customer relationships, customer files, covenants not to compete, trademarks and payor contracts are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from three to fifteen years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.
          Other Assets – Included in other assets is an investment in a non-controlled entity in the amount of $200,000. The Company accounts for this investment using the cost method which requires the investment to be recorded at cost plus any related guaranteed debt or other contingencies. Any earnings are recorded in the period received.
          Noncontrolling Interests – Noncontrolling interests in the results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the noncontrolling shareholders’ share of the income or loss of the various consolidated subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheet reflect the original investment by these noncontrolling shareholders in these consolidated subsidiaries, along with their proportional share of the earnings or losses of these subsidiaries less distributions made to these noncontrolling interest holders.
          Advertising Costs – Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for 2009 and 2008 totaled $365,121 and $334,124, respectively.
          Vendor Allowances – In conjunction with certain pharmacy acquisitions, the Company has received advance discount payments from a vendor in amounts ranging from $150,000 to $300,000. These discounts were initially deferred and included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The deferred amounts are each being amortized to reduce the cost of sales over the sixty month life of each discount agreement on a straight line basis. During 2009 and 2008, $710,052 and $571,834, respectively, of these discounts was amortized to reduce cost of sales. The remaining allowance in accrued liabilities was $2,015,448 and $2,726,500 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
          Acquisition Costs – Acquisition costs are charged directly to expense when incurred.
          Discontinued Operations – In conjunction with the Graymark Acquisition, management of the Company elected to discontinue its film production and distribution operations. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s discontinued operations had cash of approximately $120,000 and $107,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s discontinued operations had accounts receivable of approximately $10,000. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s discontinued operations had accrued liabilities of approximately $32,000. The income and expense from the ongoing marketing and distribution of the current film assets is accounted for as discontinued operations.
          Income Taxes – The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In the event the Company determines that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets is charged to earnings in the period in which the Company makes such a determination.
          The Company uses a two-step process to evaluate a tax position. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

C-25


Table of Contents

          Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.
          Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current tax law and policy that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
          Earnings (loss) per share – Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.
          Concentration of credit risk – The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk. The amount of cash deposits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 in excess of FDIC limits is approximately $423,000 and $12,919,000, respectively.
          Fair value of financial instruments – The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. The Company calculates the fair value of its borrowings based on estimated market rates. Fair value estimates are based on relevant market information and information about the individual borrowings. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve matters of judgement and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Estimated fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used. Based on the Company’s calculations at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying amount of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value.
          Stock options – The Company accounts for its stock option grants using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
          Subsequent events – The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued on March 31, 2010.
          Reclassifications – Certain amounts presented in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation, including the reclassification of deferred compensation expense associated with unvested stock grants from other assets to the current year presentation in which it is netted against additional paid-in capital.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted Guidance
          On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and

C-26


Table of Contents

interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, and the adoption of these changes had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          Fair Value Accounting – On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value disclosures of financial instruments. These changes require a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of these changes had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value accounting. These changes provide additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is necessary to maintain the overall objective of fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received pursuant to the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. These changes amend existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value accounting and reporting as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on at least an annual basis. These changes define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other GAAP that require or permit fair value measurements and is to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of these changes, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These provisions will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is materially different than would have been calculated prior to the adoption of these changes.
          Business Combinations and Consolidation Accounting – On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to consolidation accounting and reporting. These changes establish accounting and reporting for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. These changes require, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the parent’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of operations; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. Other than the change in presentation of noncontrolling interests, the adoption of these

C-27


Table of Contents

changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The presentation and disclosure requirements of these changes were applied retrospectively.
          On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for business combinations. While retaining the fundamental requirements of accounting for business combinations, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination, these changes define the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. These changes require an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This guidance also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Additionally, these changes require acquisition-related costs to be expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received instead of including such costs as part of the acquisition price. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Also, this guidance was applied to the acquisitions the Company completed in the 3rd quarter of 2009.
          Other – On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the Company’s consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as management already followed a similar approach prior to the adoption of this new guidance.
          On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. These changes require enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for intangible assets. These changes amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset outside of a business combination and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of an intangible asset in a business combination. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the calculation of earnings per share. These changes state that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method for all periods presented. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          In August 2009, the FASB issued changes to fair value accounting for liabilities. These changes clarify existing guidance that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using either a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of either a similar liability or a quoted price of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset, or another

C-28


Table of Contents

valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements, including an income approach (e.g., present value technique). This guidance also states that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability and a quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. These changes became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Issued Guidance
          In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for variable interest entities. These changes require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of the Company’s financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. These changes, among other things, remove the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and remove the exception from the application of variable interest accounting to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Change in Accounting Estimate
          During the second quarter of 2009, the Company completed its quarterly analysis of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection trends for the Company’s SDC operating segment using newly available information related to the correlation of the ultimate collectability of an account and the aging of that account. The effect of this change in estimate for doubtful accounts was to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts that is netted against accounts receivable and increase operating expenses by $2,648,207. This change in accounting estimate also increased net loss per basic and diluted share by $0.09 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Note 4 – Acquisitions
          During 2009 and 2008, the Company’s SMS operating segment made the following acquisitions:
                         
                    Amount
Acquisition   Business   Purchase   Financed by
Date   Acquired   Price   Seller
September 2009
  Avastra Eastern Sleep Centers, Inc. (“Eastern”)   $ 4,700,000     $  
August 2009
  somniTech, Inc. and somniCare, Inc. (“Somni”)     5,900,000          
June 2008
  Sleep Center of Waco, Ltd., Plano Sleep Center, Ltd. and Southlake Sleep Center, Ltd. (“Texas Labs”)     960,000

     The Company believes that the Somni and Eastern acquisitions solidify the Company as a national leader in quality sleep medicine. In addition, the Company expects to experience operational benefits from the Somni and Eastern acquisitions, including economies of scale and reduced overall overhead expenses.
     The acquisitions of Somni and Eastern included the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock in Somni and Eastern and have been accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method. Management has commenced the appraisals necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed, and the amount of goodwill recognized as of the acquisition dates. As the values of certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The valuations will be finalized within 12 months of the close of the acquisition. When the valuations are finalized, any changes to the preliminary valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may result in significant adjustments to the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and goodwill. The goodwill related to Somni and Eastern is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
     At the time of the acquisitions, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined to be the net book values previously recorded by Somni and Eastern. As of December 31, 2009, management has completed a preliminary internal valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management expects that the final appraisals of Somni and Eastern could result in changes, however it is not anticipated that the final appraisal amounts will be materially different from those reflected at December 31, 2009.
     The results of operations from the businesses acquired have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations prospectively from the date of acquisition. Purchase accounting was used to account for the 2008 acquisitions. Below is the purchase price allocation used to record each of these purchases:

          As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $33.6 million of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions. Goodwill and intangibles assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.
          The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during 2009 and 2008 resulted in no impairment losses.
          Intangible assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 include the following:

          As part of the acquisition of Eastern, the Company acquired a management service agreement (“MSA”) which provides for certain rights to the earnings of Eastern for an initial ten year period. The MSA also has renewal options at the end of the initial term. The MSA is essentially a contract from which the Company expects to earn cash flow for the foreseeable future. Given that Eastern is a going concern, the Company considers the MSA to have an indefinite life. As of December 31, 2009, the MSA had a recorded value of $3,870,000.
          Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $964,955 and $836,700, respectively. Amortization expense for the next five years related to theses intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

Note 7 — Other Assets:
          In December 2008, the Company invested in a non-controlled entity (the “Fund”) whose purpose is to invest in Oklahoma based small or rural small business ventures. Such investment generates tax credits which will be allocated to investors and can be used to offset Oklahoma state income tax. The tax credits are available through a rural economic development fund established by the state of Oklahoma.
          The Company invested $200,000 and signed a non-recourse debt agreement for approximately $1,537,000. The debt agreement is completely non-recourse to the Company for any amount in excess of the pledged capital investment of $200,000. As the debt agreement is non-recourse and has been guaranteed by other parties, it has not been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
          In January 2009, the Company was provided with documentation from the Fund referencing tax credits which are immediately available to the Company in the amount of approximately $400,000. The tax credits expire in 2011.

          In May 2008 and as amended in May 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Arvest Bank consisting of a $30 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $15 million line of credit to be used for future acquisitions (the “Acquisition Line”); collectively referred to as the “Credit Facility”. The Term Loan was used by the Company to consolidate certain prior loans to the Company’s subsidiaries SDC Holdings and ApothecaryRx. The Term Loan and the Acquisition Line bear interest at the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal or the floor rate of 5%. The rate on the Term Loan is adjusted annually on May 21. The rate on the Acquisition Line is adjusted on the anniversary date of each advance or tranche. The Term Loan matures on May 21, 2014 and requires quarterly payments of interest only. Commencing on September 1, 2011, the Company is obligated to make quarterly payments of principal and interest calculated on a seven-year amortization based on the unpaid principal balance on the Term Loan as of June 1, 2011. Each advance or tranche of the Acquisition Line will become due on the sixth anniversary of the first day of the month following the date of the advance or tranche. Each advance or tranche is repaid in quarterly payments of interest only for three years and thereafter, quarterly principal and interest payments based on a seven-year amortization until the balloon payment on the maturity date of the advance or tranche. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and is personally guaranteed by various individual shareholders of the Company. Commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010 and thereafter during the term of the Credit Facility, based on the latest four rolling quarters, the Company agreed to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.
          The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of:
    the net income of the Company (i) increased by interest expense, amortization, depreciation, and non-recurring expenses as approved by Arvest Bank, and (ii) decreased by the amount of noncontrolling (minority) interest share of net income and distributions to noncontrolling (minority) interests for taxes, to
 
    annual debt service including interest expense and current maturities of indebtedness as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
If the Company were to acquire another company or its business, the net income of the acquired company and the Company’s debt service associated with acquiring the company may both be excluded from the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, at the option of the Company.
          As noted above, commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010, we are required to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ration of 1.25 to 1. As of December 31, 2009, our Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 0.8 to 1. The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated using the latest four rolling quarters. The Company is currently in discussions with Arvest Bank on several issues related to the Company’s current loan agreement, including waiving the Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It is not likely that the Company will achieve compliance by June 30, 2010 and there is no assurance that Arvest Bank will waive the requirement.
          As of December 31, 2009, there is $30 million outstanding on the Term Loan consisting of $12,596,375 to the Company’s SMS operating segment and $17,403,625 to the Company’s ApothecaryRx operating segment. As of December 31, 2009, there is $14,396,935 outstanding on the Acquisition Line consisting of $9,002,341 to the Company’s SMS operating segment and $5,394,594 to the Company’s ApothecaryRx operating segment. As of December 31, 2009, there is approximately $603,000 available under the Acquisition Line.
          SDC Holdings has entered into various notes payable to banks to supplement the working capital needs of its individual sleep centers. The amount owed under these notes at December 31, 2009 of $467,835 bears interest at variable rates ranging from 0.0% to 1.5% above the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal except for one note which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.75%. The Company is required to make monthly payments of principal and interest totaling $29,828. The notes mature on varying dates from January 31, 2010 to July 5, 2012.

Note 11 — Capital Structure
          During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the holders of certain placement agent warrants exercised their warrants. These warrants were exercisable for the purchase of 66,242 and 224,638 shares, respectively, of common stock and were issued in connection with our 2003 and 2008 private placements and convertible note conversion. The warrant holders elected to use the “cashless exercise” provisions and, accordingly, were not required to pay the exercise price ranging from $1.10 to $5.50 per share. The Company issued 35,104 and 149,723 shares, respectively, of common stock pursuant to these warrant exercises. In connection with this the issuance of these common stock shares, no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid or will be paid.
          On September 14, 2009, the Company completed the Eastern acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued 752,795 shares of common stock shares for $1,544,000 (or $2.05 per share) as a portion of the purchase price consideration. In connection with the issuance of these common stock shares, no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid or will be paid.
          On June 4, 2008, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and issued 3,344,447 shares of common stock. The proceeds of the private placement offering were $15,050,047 ($4.50 per share). In connection with this the issuance of these common stock shares, no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid or will be paid.
          On June 1, 2008, the Company completed the Texas Labs acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued 130,435 shares of common stock shares for $900,000 (or $6.90 per share) as a portion of the purchase consideration. In connection with the issuance of these common stock shares, no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid or will be paid.
          On March 13, 2008, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1 for 5 shares. The effective date of the reverse split was set as April 11, 2008. The effect of the reverse split reduced the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from 117,701,997 to 23,540,399 shares as of the date of the reverse split.
          In January 2008, the Company completed the private placement offering of 2,999,996 shares of common stock(599,999 shares after giving effect to 1 for 5 reverse split) for gross proceeds of $1,050,000 or $0.35 per share ($1.75 per share after giving effect to 1 for 5 reverse split). Viewtrade Securities, Inc. (“Viewtrade”) served as the placement agent and received sales commissions of $80,000 (10% of the gross proceeds; excluding $250,000 not

sold by the placement agent), a non-accountable expense allowance of $31,500 (3% of the gross proceeds) and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for the purchase of 450,000 shares of common stock at $0.385 each (90,000 shares at $1.93 after giving effect to 1 for 5 reverse split). The fair value of each warrant issued was estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrants was based on the difference between the present value of the exercise price of the option and the estimated fair value price of the common share. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be approximately $141,000. The issuance of the warrants to the underwriter resulted in additional paid-in capital of $141,000 related to the services performed by the underwriter in conjunction with the private placement offering which was offset by a reduction of paid-in capital of $141,000 related to the payment for those services which is included in offering costs.
Note 12 — Stock Options and Warrants
          The Company has adopted three stock option plans, the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Plan”) and the 2003 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Non-Employee Plan”).
          The Incentive Plan consists of three separate stock incentive plans, a Non-Executive Officer Participant Plan, an Executive Officer Participant Plan and a Non-Employee Director Participant Plan. Except for administration and the category of employees eligible to receive incentive awards, the terms of the Non-Executive Officer Participant Plan and the Executive Officer Participant Plan are identical. The Non-Employee Director Plan has other variations in terms and only permits the grant of nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards. Each incentive award will be pursuant to a written award agreement. The number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved under the Incentive Plan is 3,000,000.
          The Employee Plan provides for the issuance of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes to our employees, including employees who also serve as a Company director. The number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved under the Employee Plan is 60,000. The exercise price of options may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant of the option.
          The Non-Employee Plan provides for the grant of stock options to the Company’s non-employee directors, consultants and other advisors. The Company’s employees are not eligible to participate in the Non-Employee Plan. Under the provisions of this plan, the options do not qualify as incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes. The total number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved under the Non-Employee Plan is 60,000.
          The fair value of each option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Given the Company’s limited trading history and lack of employee option exercise history, the Company has included the assumptions and variables of similar companies in the determination of the actual variables used in the option pricing model. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the option pricing model on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the option pricing model.
          The assumptions used to value the option and warrant grants are as follows:
                 
    2009     2008  
Expected life (in years)
    1.0—3.5       3.5—5.0  
Volatility
    55 %     38—46 %
Risk free interest rate
    0.4—2.0 %     3.5—4.0 %
Dividend yield

          The fair value of the 232,860 and 164,091 options issued in 2009 and 2008 was estimated to be approximately $103,000 and $244,000, respectively. The value of the options is recorded as compensation expense or, in the case of non-employee third parties, as professional services expense over the requisite service period which equals the vesting period of the options. Compensation expense related to stock options was $39,000 and $244,000 during 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2009, the Company recorded $14,581 in professional services fees for options issued to an investor relations firm.
          During 2009, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to Viewtrade for the performance of financial services. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be approximately $87,000 and was recorded as professional services expense over the vesting period in 2009.
          The options and warrants outstanding and options and warrants exercisable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 had no intrinsic value. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value and exercise price of the shares. As of December 31, 2009, there was approximately $52,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options.

          During 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 702,669 and 150,000, respectively, restricted stock grant awards to certain key employees and directors. The fair value of the restricted stock grant awards was $1,365,704 and $285,000, respectively, and was calculated by multiplying the number of restricted shares issued times the closing share price on the date of issuance.

Note 15 – Earnings (Loss) per Share
          Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding is included in diluted earnings (loss) per share. The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
                 
    2009     2008

          The dilutive potential common shares on options and warrants is calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potential dilutive effect of the securities.
          The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations or discontinued operations as their effect would be anti-dilutive:
                 
    2009     2008  
Stock options and warrants
    826,863       64,538  
Note 16 – Subsequent Event

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Note 1 — Nature of Business
ApothecaryRx, LLC (the “Company”) is organized in Oklahoma and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (“Graymark”) and operates independent retail pharmacy stores selling prescription drugs and a small assortment of general merchandise, including diabetic merchandise, non-prescription drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods. As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned and operated 18 retail pharmacies located in Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The Company has historically grown its pharmacy business by acquiring financially successful independently-owned retail pharmacies from long-term owners that were approaching retirement. The Company’s pharmacies have successfully maintained market share due to their convenient proximity to healthcare providers and services, high customer service levels, longevity in the community, competitive pricing. Additionally, ApothecaryRx independent pharmacies offer supportive services and products such as pharmaceutical compounding, durable medical equipment, and assisted and group living facilities. ApothecaryRx pharmacies are located in mid-size, economically-stable communities and the Company believes that a significant amount of the value of our pharmacies resides in retaining the historical pharmacy name and key staff relationships in the community.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information — The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition — Pharmacy product sales are recorded at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Customer returns are immaterial and are recorded at the time merchandise is returned.
Accounts receivable —The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from Medicare, private insurance carriers and other third-party payors, as well as from customers under co-insurance and deductible provisions.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill and other indefinitely-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment reviews during the fourth quarter, or more frequent reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment of goodwill.
Intangible assets other than goodwill, which include customer files and covenants not to compete, are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method over lives ranging from three to fifteen years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

D-5


Table of Contents

Fair value of financial instruments — The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. The Company calculates the fair value of its borrowings based on estimated market rates. Fair value estimates are based on relevant market information and information about the individual borrowings. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve matters of judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Estimated fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used. Based on the Company’s calculations at June 30, 2010 the carrying amount of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted Guidance
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on January 21, 2010, to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to how assets and liabilities should be grouped by class and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on February 24, 2010, to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes clarified that an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with the SEC is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Other than the elimination of disclosing the date through which management has performed its evaluation for subsequent events, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.
In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). These changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Goodwill and Other Intangibles
There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $13.1 million of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions and other purchases. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.
Intangible assets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 include the following:
                                         
    Useful     June 30, 2010     December 31,

In May 2008 and as amended in May 2009 and July 2010, Graymark entered into a loan agreement with Arvest Bank consisting of a $30 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $15 million line of credit to be used for future acquisitions (the “Acquisition Line”); collectively referred to as the “Credit Facility”. The Term Loan was used by Graymark to consolidate certain prior loans to Graymark’s subsidiaries SDC Holdings LLC and the Company. The Term Loan and the Acquisition Line bear interest at the greater of the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal or the floor rate of 6%. Prior to June 30, 2010, the floor rate was 5%. The rate on the Term Loan is adjusted annually on May 21. The rate on the Acquisition Line is adjusted on the anniversary date of each advance or tranche. The Term Loan matures on May 21, 2014 and requires quarterly payments of interest only. Commencing on September 1, 2011, Graymark is obligated to make quarterly payments of principal and interest calculated on a seven-year amortization based on the unpaid principal balance on the Term Loan as of June 1, 2011. Each advance or tranche of the Acquisition Line will become due on the sixth anniversary of the first day of the month following the date of the advance or tranche. Each advance or tranche is repaid in quarterly payments of interest only for three years and thereafter, quarterly principal and interest payments based on a seven-year amortization until the balloon payment on the maturity date of the advance or tranche. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of Graymark’s assets and is personally guaranteed by various individual shareholders of Graymark. Commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2010 and thereafter during the term of the Credit Facility, based on the latest four rolling quarters, Graymark agreed to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of:
    the net income of Graymark (i) increased by interest expense, amortization, depreciation, and non-recurring expenses as approved by Arvest Bank, and (ii) decreased by the amount of noncontrolling (minority) interest share of net income and distributions to noncontrolling (minority) interests for taxes, to
    annual debt service including interest expense and current maturities of indebtedness as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Table of Contents

If Graymark were to acquire another company or its business, the net income of the acquired company and Graymark’s new debt service associated with acquiring the company may both be excluded from the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, at the option of Graymark.
Effective June 30, 2010, Graymark executed an amendment to the Credit Facility that provided for an increase in the floor rate from 5% to 6% and the extension of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement from June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, Graymark’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 0.9 to 1. Graymark expects to achieve compliance by September 30, 2010 through a combination of operational and debt reduction strategies. If Graymark sells assets which are collateral for the Credit Facility, then subject to certain exceptions and with the consent of Arvest Bank, such sale proceeds must be used to reduce the amounts outstanding to Arvest Bank. If Graymark is unsuccessful in fully executing these strategies, it is not likely that Graymark will achieve compliance by September 30, 2010 and there is no assurance that Arvest Bank will waive or further delay the requirement.

APOTHECARYRX, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Note 1 — Nature of Business
ApothecaryRx, LLC (the “Company”) is organized in Oklahoma and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (“Graymark”). The Company operates independent retail pharmacy stores selling prescription drugs and a small assortment of general merchandise, including diabetic merchandise, non-prescription drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods. As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned and operated 18 retail pharmacies located in Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The Company has historically grown its pharmacy business by acquiring financially successful independently-owned retail pharmacies from long-term owners that were approaching retirement. The Company’s pharmacies have successfully maintained market share due to their convenient proximity to healthcare providers and services, high customer service levels, longevity in the community, competitive pricing. Additionally, ApothecaryRx independent pharmacies offer supportive services and products such as pharmaceutical compounding, durable medical equipment, and assisted and group living facilities. ApothecaryRx pharmacies are located in mid-size, economically-stable communities and the Company believes that a significant amount of the value of our pharmacies resides in retaining the historical pharmacy name and key staff relationships in the community.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Financial Information — The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with Regulation S-X. These financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included.
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition — Pharmacy product sales are recorded at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Customer returns are immaterial and are recorded at the time merchandise is returned.
Accounts receivable — Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $186,447 and $165,287 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The balance primarily includes amounts due from third party payors, such as pharmacy benefit managers, government agencies and employers. A small amount of the accounts receivable is due from customers who are allowed credit at our various local pharmacies.
Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the cost of products acquired for sale. The Company accounts for inventories using the first in-first out method of accounting for substantially all of its inventories. Independent physical inventory counts are taken on a regular basis in each retail pharmacy store.
Property and equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight line method to depreciate the cost of various classes of assets over their estimated useful lives. At the time assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and depreciation accounts; profits and losses on such dispositions are reflected in current operations. Fully depreciated assets are written off against accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

D-13


Table of Contents

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:
     
Asset Class   Useful Life
 
       
Equipment
  5 to 7 years
Software
  3 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures
  7 years
Leasehold improvements
  25 years or remaining lease period, whichever is shorter
Vehicles
  3 to 5 years
Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill and other indefinitely-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment reviews during the fourth quarter, or more frequent reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment of goodwill.
Intangible assets other than goodwill which include customer relationships, customer files, covenants not to compete, trademarks and payor contracts are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from three to fifteen years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Vendor allowances — In conjunction with certain pharmacy acquisitions, the Company has received advance discount payments from a vendor in amounts ranging from $150,000 to $300,000. These discounts were initially deferred and included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets. The deferred amounts are each being amortized to reduce the costs of sales over the sixty month life of each discount agreement on a straight line basis. During 2009 and 2008, $710,052 and $571,834, respectively, of these discounts was amortized to reduce cost of sales. The remaining allowance in accrued liabilities was $2,015,448 and $2,726,500 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Advertising costs — Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for 2009 and 2008 totaled $255,903 and $255,803, respectively.
Income taxes — As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to the Company’s sole member, Graymark Healthcare, Inc. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments — The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. The Company calculates the fair value of its borrowings based on estimated market rates. Fair value estimates are based on relevant market information and information about the individual borrowings. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve matters of judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Estimated fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used. Based on the Company’s calculations at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying amount of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted Guidance
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on January 21, 2010, to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to how assets and liabilities should be grouped by class and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on February 24, 2010, to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes clarified that an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with the SEC is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Other than the elimination of disclosing the date through which management has performed its evaluation for subsequent events, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, and the adoption of these changes had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Accounting On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value accounting. These changes provide additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is necessary to maintain the overall objective of fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received pursuant to the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the recognition and presentation of other than temporary impairments. These changes amend existing other than temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other than temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value accounting and reporting as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company=s consolidated financial statements on at least an annual basis. These changes define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other GAAP that require or permit fair value measurements and is to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of these changes, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, had no impact on the Company’s financial statements. These provisions will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is materially different than would have been calculated prior to the adoption of these changes.

Business Combinations and Consolidation Accounting On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to consolidation accounting and reporting. These changes establish accounting and reporting for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. These changes require, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the parent=s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent=s and noncontrolling interest=s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of operations; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. Other than the change in presentation of noncontrolling interests, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements. The presentation and disclosure requirements of these changes were applied retrospectively.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for business combinations. While retaining the fundamental requirements of accounting for business combinations, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination, these changes define the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. These changes require an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This guidance also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Additionally, these changes require acquisition related costs to be expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received instead of including such costs as part of the acquisition price. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.
In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). These changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 13.1 million of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions and other purchases. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.
Intangible assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 include the following:

In May 2008 and as amended in May 2009 and July 2010, Graymark entered into a loan agreement with Arvest Bank consisting of a $30 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $15 million line of credit to be used for future acquisitions (the “Acquisition Line”); collectively referred to as the “Credit Facility”. The Term Loan was used by Graymark to consolidate certain prior loans to Graymark’s subsidiaries SDC Holdings LLC and the Company. The Term Loan and the Acquisition Line bear interest at the greater of the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal or the floor rate of 6%. Prior to June 30, 2010, the floor rate was 5%. The rate on the Term Loan is adjusted annually on May 21. The rate on the Acquisition Line is adjusted on the anniversary date of each advance or tranche. The Term Loan matures on May 21, 2014 and requires quarterly payments of interest only. Commencing on September 1, 2011, the Graymark is obligated to make quarterly payments of principal and interest calculated on a seven-year amortization based on the unpaid principal balance on the Term Loan as of June 1, 2011. Each advance or tranche of the Acquisition Line will become due on the sixth anniversary of the first day of the month following the date of the advance or tranche. Each advance or tranche is repaid in quarterly payments of interest only for three years and thereafter, quarterly principal and interest payments based on a seven-year amortization until the balloon payment on the maturity date of the advance or tranche. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of Graymark’s assets and is personally guaranteed by various individual shareholders of Graymark. Commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2010 and thereafter during the term of the Credit Facility, based on the latest four rolling quarters, Graymark agreed to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of:
    the net income of Graymark (i) increased by interest expense, amortization, depreciation, and non-recurring expenses as approved by Arvest Bank, and (ii) decreased by the amount of noncontrolling (minority) interest share of net income and distributions to noncontrolling (minority) interests for taxes, to
    annual debt service including interest expense and current maturities of indebtedness as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
If Graymark were to acquire another company or its business, the net income of the acquired company and Graymark’s new debt service associated with acquiring the company may both be excluded from the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, at the option of Graymark.
Effective June 30, 2010, the Graymark executed an amendment to the Credit Facility that provided for an increase in the floor rate from 5% to 6% and the extension of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement from June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, Graymark’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 0.9 to 1. Graymark expects to achieve compliance by September 30, 2010 through a combination of operational and debt reduction strategies. If Graymark sells assets which are collateral for the Credit Facility, then subject to certain exceptions and without the consent of Arvest Bank, such sale proceeds must be used to reduce the amounts outstanding to Arvest Bank. If Graymark is unsuccessful in fully executing these strategies, it is not likely that Graymark will achieve compliance by September 30, 2010 and there is no assurance that Arvest Bank will waive or further delay the requirement.
