ALMOST FAMILY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1.

Accounting Policies  

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q is referred to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for further information. In the opinion of management of Almost Family, Inc., (the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

 

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial Statement Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 2007 consolidated financial statements and related notes in order to conform to the 2008 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about its business combinations and its effects. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, the goodwill acquired and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. For instance, acquisition-related costs, with the exception of debt and equity issuance costs, are to be recorded in the period that the costs are incurred and the services are received. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations we engage in will be recorded and disclosed in accordance with existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States until January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

 

7

 

 


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the equity of the parent company. The statement further requires that consolidated net income be reported as amounts attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, rather than expensing the income attributable to the minority interest holder. This statement also requires that companies provide sufficient disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent company and the interests of the noncontrolling owners, including a disclosure on the face of the consolidated statements for income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holder. This statement is effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 or our first quarter of 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. We have not completed our evaluation of the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

2.

Net Revenues

 

The Company is paid for its services primarily by Federal and state third-party reimbursement programs, commercial insurance companies, and patients. Revenues are recorded at established rates in the period during which the services are rendered. Appropriate allowances to give recognition to third party payment arrangements are recorded when the services are rendered.

 

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. It is common for issues to arise related to: 1) medical coding, particularly with respect to Medicare, 2) patient eligibility, particularly related to Medicaid, 3) the determination of cost-reimbursed revenues, and 4) other reasons unrelated to credit risk, all of which may result in adjustments to recorded revenue amounts. Management continuously evaluates the potential for revenue adjustments and when appropriate provides allowances for losses based upon the best available information. There is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates could change by material amounts in the near term.

 

3.

Segment Data

 

The Company has two reportable segments, Visiting Nurse (VN) and Personal Care (PC). Reportable segments have been identified based upon how management has organized the business by services provided to customers and the criteria in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

 

The Company’s VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care. VN Medicare revenues are generated on a per episode basis rather than a fee per visit or day of care. Approximately 94% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs.

 

The Company’s PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes. These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis. Approximately 70% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

 

Certain general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level have not been allocated to the segments.

 

The Company has service locations in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana (in order of revenue significance).

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

Consistent with AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, the Company capitalizes the cost of internally generated computer software developed for the Company’s own use. Software development costs of approximately $61,000 and $21,000 were capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $114,000 and $41,000 were capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over a three-year period following the initial implementation of the software.

 

5.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

All goodwill acquired is stated at cost. Subsequent to its acquisitions, the Company conducts the required annual tests for impairment under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Company has completed its most recent annual impairment test required by SFAS No. 142 as of December 31, 2007 and has determined that no impairment exists.

Revolving Credit Facility

 

At June 30, 2008 the Company had a $40.0 million credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA as amended November 30, 2007, with an expiration date of June 30, 2010.The credit facility bore an interest rate option at either the bank’s prime rate less a margin (ranging from -1.50% to -0.25%, currently -1.00%), or one-month LIBOR plus a margin (ranging from +1.25% to +2.50%) dependent upon total leverage and was secured by substantially all assets and the stock of the Company’s subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rates were 4.0% and 7.5% for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused facility balance. Borrowings were available equal to the greater of: a) a multiple of 3.5 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (As Defined EBITDA) or b) an asset based formula, primarily based on accounts receivable. “As Defined EBITDA” of acquired operations, up to 75% of base “As Defined EBITDA,” may have been included in the availability calculations. Borrowings under the facility may have been used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development and growth of the business and other corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2008, the formula permitted approximately $40.0 million to be used, of which $0 was outstanding. The Company had irrevocable letters of credit, totaling $2.1 million outstanding in connection with its self-insurance programs. Thus, a total of $37.9 million was available for use at June 30, 2008. The Company’s revolving credit facility was subject to various financial covenants. As of June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. Under the most restrictive of its covenants, the Company was required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $10.5 million.

 

On July 15, 2008 the Company entered into a new $75.0 million credit facility and concurrently terminated the $40.0 million credit facility as described under “Subsequent Events.”

 

7.

Fair Value Measurements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The provisions of SFAS 157 were effective as of January 1, 2008; however, FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 defers the effective date for certain non-financial assets and liabilities not re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 or the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

SFAS 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

10

 

 


 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

As of June 30, 2008, we do not have any assets or liabilities carried at fair value that are measured on a recurring basis.

 

8.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock option grant date fair values are determined at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo option valuation model with suboptimal exercise behavior. In the quarter ended March 31, 2008, 70,000 options were issued at a strike price of $21.90 (fair market value on the date of grant) to directors, members of management and employees and will vest over three years with an expiration date of March 6, 2018.

In addition, on March 12, 2008, the Company granted 29,750 restricted shares of Common Stock to executives and certain employees pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. The share price is $20.39, which was the closing price on the date of grant. These shares provide for “cliff” vesting upon the third anniversary of date of grant.

Stock Sale

 

On April 11, 2008 the Company filed a Prospectus Supplement whereby 2,250,000 shares of common stock were offered for sale at a price of $17.75 per share. Pursuant to this offering, all shares were sold and delivered on April 16, 2008 resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses to the Company, of $37,340,950. Additionally, the underwriter in this transaction was granted an option to purchase up to 337,500 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 9, 2008 the underwriter of the public offering exercised its over-allotment option in part and purchased 262,500 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price of $17.75 per share. Including the over-allotment, the Company sold 2,512,500 shares in the offering for net proceeds of $41.8 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

 

In conjunction with the stock offering, the Company retired all of its outstanding Treasury Stock.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Insurance Programs

 

The Company bears significant insurance risk under its large-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program and its self-insured employee health program. Under the workers’ compensation insurance program, the Company bears risk up to $400,000 per incident. The Company purchases stop-loss insurance for the employee health plan that places a specific limit, generally $100,000, on its exposure for any individual covered life.

 

Malpractice and general patient liability claims for incidents which may give rise to litigation have been asserted against the Company by various claimants. The claims are in various stages of processing and some may ultimately be brought to trial. The Company is aware of incidents that have occurred through June 30, 2008 that may result in the assertion of additional claims. The Company currently carries professional and general liability insurance coverage for this exposure with no deductible. Prior to April 1, 2007 the Company carried coverage with a deductible per claim of $500,000.

 

Total premiums, excluding the Company’s exposure to claims and deductibles, for all its non-health insurance programs were approximately $1.1 million for the contract year ending March 31, 2008. On April 1, 2008, the Company completed its renewal for the contract year ending March 31, 2009 with total estimated premiums of $961,000.

 

The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, the life cycle of claims, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities on a monthly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is currently, and from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its business, including claims for damages for personal injuries. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any of these pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

12.

Acquisitions

 

On March 26, 2008, the Company acquired the fixed assets of all the home health agencies owned by Apex Home Healthcare Services, L.L.C. (“Apex Home Healthcare”), the assets of the healthcare rehabilitation business owned by Apex Health and Rehab Center L.L.C., the assets of the healthcare staffing business owned by Apex Healthcare Solutions, L.L.C. and the assets of the home care physician practice owned by Apex House Call Doctors, L.L.C. for a purchase price of $16.1 million, consisting of $12.1 million in cash, two promissory notes totaling $3 million plus $1 million in value (i.e. 47,619 shares) of Almost Family, Inc. common stock (restricted). The cash portion of the transaction was funded from borrowings available on the Company’s existing senior credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA.

The Company is currently in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Apex Home Healthcare acquisition, to assist it in allocating the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary allocation of purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the Company’s current best estimate and is subject to revision based on final determination of fair value. The Company has engaged an independent valuation firm to assist with the valuation of Apex Home Healthcare, which is expected to be completed prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition.

On August 1, 2008, the Company acquired all the stock of Patient Care, Inc. as described under “Subsequent Events.”

 

13.

Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2003 through 2007. For federal tax purposes, the Company is

 

13

 

 


currently subject to examinations for tax years 2005 and 2007 while for state purposes, tax years 2003 and forward are subject to examination, depending on the specific state rules and regulations. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of the tax years ending December 31, 2006. The tax impact of the 2006 audit assessment including interest was immaterial to the financial statements.

 

The Company may from time to time be assessed interest and penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its financial results. Assessments for interest and/or penalties are classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expenses other.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately 40.0%. This effective rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state and local taxes, net of Federal benefit of approximately 5.0%.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately 39.7% and 39.3%, respectively. This effective rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state and local taxes, net of Federal benefit of approximately 4.7% in 2008 and 4.3% in 2007.

 

14.

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company follows the guidance in SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and, when appropriate, reclassifies operating units closed, sold, or held for sale out of continuing operations and into discontinued operations for all periods presented. During 2007, the PC segment had three facilities that met the criteria to be reclassified as discontinued operations. During the three month period ending June 30, 2008, no additional facilities met the criteria to be reclassified as discontinued operations. These facilities have been reclassified in this report for all periods presented. Net revenues from discontinued operations were approximately ($33,000) and $199,000 in the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net (losses) income from the discontinued operations was approximately ($35,000) and $18,000 in the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net revenues from discontinued operations were approximately ($38,000) and $538,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net losses from the discontinued operations were approximately ($79,000) and ($141,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Such amounts are included in net loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

 

15.

Subsequent Events

 

Acquisition

 

On August 1, 2008, the Company acquired the stock of Patient Care, Inc. Patient Care and its subsidiaries own and operate eight Medicare-certified home health agency locations in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. In 2007 Patient Care’s annual revenues were approximately $47.8 million.

 

The total purchase price for the stock was $45.2 million in cash, reduced by a working capital adjustment of $3.8 million as of the closing date, subject to a subsequent adjustment thirty days from closing. Additionally, the Company assumed approximately $1.3 million in capital lease obligations. The Company also provided an insurer of Patient Care a $4.7 million letter of credit. The cash portion of the transaction paid at closing plus the letter of credit was funded from the Company’s existing cash and borrowings available on the Company’s existing senior credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On July 15, 2008, the Company entered into a $75.0 million three year senior secured revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as

 

14

 

 


Administrative Agent, Fifth Third Bank, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders. The agreement consists of: (i) a $75.0 million credit line with a maturity date of July 2011, (ii) availability of borrowings up to 3.0 times Earnings Before Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined, and (iii) an accordion feature providing for potential future expansion of the facility to $100 million. This new facility increases the available resources to continue the pursuit of the Company’s development objectives.

 

The Company terminated its existing $40.0 million credit agreement, initially dated as of August 3, 1999 and subsequently amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, concurrently with the effectiveness of the new agreement.

Operating Segments

 

We have two reportable segments, Visiting Nurse (VN) and Personal Care (PC). Reportable segments have been identified based upon how management has organized the business by services provided to customers and the criteria in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

 

The VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care. VN Medicare revenues are generated on a per episode basis rather than a fee per visit or day of care. Approximately 94% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs.

 

The PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes. These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis. Approximately 70% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

 

Certain general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level have not been allocated to the segments.

 

We have service locations in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana (in order of revenue significance).

On a consolidated basis, our second quarter 2008 net service revenues increased 49.8% to $48.7 million compared to $32.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. Organic revenue growth was approximately $8.3 million or just over 51.1% of our growth, while acquisitions provided the balance of the increase at approximately $7.9 million.

 

Operating income as a percent of revenue increased to 13.7% in the second quarter of 2008 versus 10.8% in 2007 based on our ability to leverage our existing infrastructure over a larger revenue base. Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.9 million or $0.50 per diluted share compared to $2.0 million or $0.35 per diluted share in 2007. The 42.9% EPS increase was attributable to both organic growth and acquisition activity. The effect of the stock offering decreased earnings $0.16 per diluted share or 24.2%.

 

Interest expense was incurred on funds borrowed to finance our acquisition activities. Our effective interest rate on our bank credit facility was 4.0% in 2008 and 7.5% in 2007.

 

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was approximately 40.0% in 2008 and 2007.

Net revenues in the visiting nurse segment for the second quarter of 2008 rose 65.6% to $38.9 million. The $15.4 million increase came from a combination of organic growth of $7.8 million and from acquired operations of $7.6 million. Our VN organic growth rate was 33.2%.

 

Operating income before corporate expense in the VN segment for the second quarter of 2008 increased 88.0% to $8.6 million from $4.6 million in 2007.

 

Gross margin decreased from 59.9% in 2007 to 58.8% in 2008 due to the effect of flat Medicare reimbursement rates and continuing increases in direct care wages and mileage reimbursement. This is offset by lower general and administrative expenses which were leveraged against substantial volume growth. As a result, the VN segment’s operating income improved as noted above.

 

The Company’s acquisitions of Quality of Life in October 2007 and Apex Home Healthcare in March 2008 impact comparability of our operating results.

Net revenues in the personal care segment for the second quarter increased 8.8% to $9.8 million from $9.0 million in the same period of last year on an increased volume of 0.8% and higher pricing of 7.9%. Operating income before corporate expense in the PC segment for the second quarter of 2008 was $0.8 million, a 22.1% decrease from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. This is a result of incremental bad debt expense and increased workers compensation and general liability insurance expense in 2008.

 

Admissions increased from the prior year reflecting a change in the mix of business. Revenue per billable hour decreased due to a combination of rate increases and changes in the mix of business across payors and locations.

On a consolidated basis, our 2008 net service revenues increased 36.5% to $87.7 million compared to $64.3 million in 2007. Organic revenue growth was approximately $12.5 million or just over 53.5% of our growth, while acquisitions provided the balance of the increase at approximately $10.9 million.

 

Operating income for 2008 increased to 12.7% of revenue versus 10.5% in 2007 based on our ability to leverage our existing infrastructure over a larger revenue base. Net income from continuing operations for 2008 were $6.5 million or $0.96 per diluted share compared to $3.8 million or $0.68 per diluted share in 2007. The 41.2% EPS increase was attributable to both organic growth and acquisition activity. The effect of the stock offering decreased earnings $0.15 per diluted share or 13.5%.

 

Interest expense was incurred on funds borrowed to finance our acquisition activities. Our effective interest rate on our bank credit facility was 4.72% in 2008 and 7.5% in 2007.

 

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was approximately 39.7% and 39.3% in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Net revenues in the visiting nurse segment for the six months of 2008 rose 47.7% to $68.7 million. The $22.2 million increase came from a combination of organic growth of $11.6 million and from acquired operations of $10.6 million. Our VN organic growth rate was 25.0%.

 

Operating income before corporate expense in the VN segment for the six months of 2008 increased 58.1% to $14.0 million from $8.9 million in 2007.

 

Gross margin decreased from 59.7% in 2007 to 59.0% in 2008 due to the effect of flat Medicare reimbursement rates and continuing increases in competitive direct care wages and mileage reimbursement. This is offset by lower general and administrative expenses which were leveraged against substantial volume growth.

 

The Company’s acquisitions of Quality of Life in October 2007 and Apex Home Healthcare in March 2008 impact comparability of our operating results.

Net revenues in the personal care segment for the six months increased 7.1% to $19.0 million from $17.8 million in the same period of last year on a decreased volume of 0.3% and higher pricing of 7.4%. PC operating income for the six months was about $1.6 million versus $1.7 million in the corresponding period of last year. This decrease was the result of incremental bad debt expense and increased workers compensation and general liability insurance expense.

 

Admissions increased about 5.5% from the prior year while patient months increased reflecting a change in the mix of business, particularly in the first quarter. Revenue per billable hour increased due to a combination of rate increases and changes in the mix of business across payors and locations.

Insurance Programs

 

We bear significant insurance risk under our large-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program and our self-insured employee health program. Under the workers’ compensation insurance program, we bear risk up to $400,000 per incident. We purchase stop-loss insurance for the employee health plan that places a specific limit, generally $100,000, on our exposure for any individual covered life.

 

Malpractice and general patient liability claims for incidents which may give rise to litigation have been asserted against us by various claimants. The claims are in various stages of processing and some may ultimately be brought to trial. We are aware of incidents that have occurred through June 30, 2008 that may result in the assertion of additional claims. We currently carry professional and general liability insurance coverage for this exposure with no deductible.

 

Total premiums, excluding our exposure to claims and deductibles, for all our non-health insurance programs were approximately $1.1 million for the contract year ending March 31, 2008. On April 1, 2008, we completed our renewal for the contract year ending March 31, 2009 with total estimated premiums of $961,000.

 

We record estimated liabilities for our insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, the life cycle of claims, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. We monitor our estimated insurance-related liabilities on a monthly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

Prior to July 15, 2008 we had a $40.0 million credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA as amended November 30, 2007, with an expiration date of June 30, 2010.The credit facility bore an interest rate option at either the bank’s prime rate less a margin (ranging from -1.50% to -0.25%, currently -1.00%), or one-month LIBOR plus a margin (ranging from +1.25% to +2.50%) dependent upon total leverage and was secured by substantially all assets and the stock of our subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rates were 4.0% and 7.5% for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We paid a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused facility balance. Borrowings were available equal to the greater of: a) a multiple of 3.5 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (As Defined EBITDA) or b) an asset based formula, primarily based on accounts receivable. “As Defined EBITDA” of acquired operations, up to 75% of base “As Defined EBITDA,” may have been included in the availability calculations. Borrowings under the facility may have been used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development and growth of the business and other corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2008, the formula permitted approximately $40.0 million to be used, of which $0 was outstanding. We had irrevocable letters of credit, totaling $2.1 million outstanding in connection with our self-insurance programs. Thus, a total of $37.9 million was available for use at June 30, 2008. Our revolving credit facility was subject to various financial covenants. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with the covenants. Under the most restrictive of covenants, we were required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $10.5 million.

 

On July 15, 2008, we entered into a $75.0 million three year senior secured revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Fifth Third Bank, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders. The agreement consists of: (i) a $75.0 million credit line with a maturity date of July 2011, (ii) availability of borrowings up to 3.0 times Earnings before Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined, and (iii) an accordion feature providing for potential future expansion of the facility to $100 million. This new facility increases the available resources to continue the pursuit of our development objectives.

 

24

 

 


We terminated our existing $40.0 million credit agreement, initially dated as of August 3, 1999 and subsequently amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, concurrently with the effectiveness of the new agreement.

2008

Net cash provided by operating activities resulted principally from current period income, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable days revenues outstanding were 47 at June 30, 2008 and 44 at December 31, 2007. The cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the Apex Home Healthcare acquisition completed in March 2008. Net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the $41.8 million stock offering in April 2008, partially offset by $12.4 million of credit facility paid.

 

2007

Net cash provided by operating activities resulted principally from current period income, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable days revenues outstanding were 42 at June 30, 2007, and 45 at December 31, 2006. The cash used in investing activities is primarily due to an acquisition completed in January 2007. Net cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from stock option exercises and the payment of a note payable from a 2005 acquisition. The Company’s stock option plans permit optionees to have option shares withheld on exercises in lieu of submitting to the Company the amount necessary for income tax withholdings. Such withholding of shares in lieu of taxes is shown in the cash flow statement as a repurchase of shares in the amount of $3.8 million. The Company receives a current tax deduction for compensation expense subject to IRS limits. Such deductions related to stock option exercises in the first six months of 2007 are shown in the cash flow statement as a cash inflow of approximately of $678,000.

 

Health Care Reform

 

The health care industry has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, extensive and dynamic change. In addition to economic forces and regulatory influences, continuing political debate is subjecting the health care industry to significant reform. Health care reforms have been enacted as discussed elsewhere in this document. Proposals for additional changes are continuously formulated by departments of the Federal government, Congress, and state legislatures.

 

Government officials can be expected to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Changes in the law or new interpretations of existing laws may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative cost of doing business, and the methods and amounts of payments for medical care by both governmental and other payors. Legislative changes to “balance the budget” and slow the annual rate of growth of expenditures are expected to continue. Such future changes may further impact our reimbursement. There can be no assurance that future legislation or regulatory changes will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

25

 

 


Federal and State legislative proposals continue to be introduced that would impose more limitations on payments to providers of health care services such as us. Many states have enacted, or are considering enacting, measures that are designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures.

 

We cannot predict what additional government regulations may be enacted in the future affecting our business or how existing or future laws and regulations might be interpreted, or whether we will be able to comply with such laws and regulations in our existing or future markets.

 

Refer to the sections on “Cautionary Statements – Forward Outlook and Risks” and the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” and elsewhere in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.

 

Medicare Reimbursement Regulations for 2008

 

In August 2007 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") published final regulations updating and revising the Medicare prospective payment system for home health ("HH-PPS") for 2008 (the “2008 Final Rule”). The 2008 Final Rule became effective on January 1, 2008.

 

Under the HH-PPS providers are reimbursed on the basis of a 60-day episode following a formula dependent upon, among other factors, the patient’s medical condition, the number of visits performed in the episode and the locale in which the patient resides.

 

The following are the more significant changes included in the 2008 Final Rule:

 

A “market basket” rate increase of 3% to the episodic payment rate for 2008.

 

A decrease in the episodic payment rate of 2.75% for each of the years 2008 through 2010 and a decrease of 2.71% for 2011 (the “Case Mix Creep Adjustment”). This rate cut was rationalized by CMS in the regulations as offsetting coding increases from 1999 through 2005 that CMS believes are not related to changes in the underlying health of patients.

 

The national 60-day episodic payment rate for 2007 was $2,339 and for 2008 is $2,270, reflecting both the 3% market basket increase and the 2.75% rate cut described above as well as certain other adjustments the more significant of which are described below.

 

A move from 80 different patient driven coding categories (Home Health Reimbursement Groups or “HHRG”s) to 153 HHRGs.

 

Establishment of eight different break points in therapy visit thresholds used to determine reimbursement related to therapy services. In 2008 reimbursement will change at each of the following visit thresholds: 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18 and 20 visits. In 2007 there was a single threshold at 10 therapy visits.

 

A small increase in the reimbursement provided for certain episodes in which 4 or fewer visits are provided. A corresponding and offsetting adjustment was made to the national payment rate described above.

 

Segregation of the reimbursement for non-routine medical supplies based on a new formula separate from the national payment rate. A corresponding and offsetting adjustment was made to the national payment rate described above.

 

A revision in the reimbursement formula provided for certain episodes in which a high number of visits is required to meet the needs of the patient. This revision results in a decrease in the amount of reimbursement for these episodes. A corresponding and offsetting adjustment was made to the national payment rate described above.

 

We believe the 2008 Final Rule will have the following implications:

 

The Case Mix Creep Adjustment for years 2008-2011 will put downward pressure on margins in the home health industry and in our Visiting Nurse segment. The extent of the downward pressure will be influenced by a number of factors including but not limited to future: wage rate inflation, transportation costs, demand for and availability of clinicians, market basket increases and further changes to Medicare reimbursement made by either CMS or Congress.

 

26

 

 


 

Outcome of the refinements to the case mix formula will be dependent upon the type and needs of the patients actually seen in 2008, and the clinical and other aspects of the care plans employed to care for those patients, all of which may differ from those experienced historically.

 

Within the framework of providing the highest quality outcomes for our patients, we expect to take actions in response to the changing reimbursement environment with the goal of improving our clinical, operational and marketing efficiencies.

 

We believe the increased complexity of the reimbursement environment, combined with the long-term effect of the Case Mix Creep Adjustment, will likely increase the supply of acquisition candidates available to us.

 

Impact of Refinements on Results for the Quarter

The 2008 refinements did not have a significant effect on our overall results for the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Impact of Inflation

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on income during the past several years.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The information provided in the some of the tables use certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has provided, in the supplemental information below, a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value.  EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments.

 

Market Risk of Financial Instruments

 

Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates.

 

At June 30, 2008, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in an increase of approximately $164,000 in annual pre-tax earnings.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures – As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Almost Family, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.
