NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

United American Healthcare Corporation (the “Company” or “UAHC”) was incorporated in Michigan on December 1, 1983 and commenced operations in May 1985.
 
From November 1993 to June 2009, the Company’s indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc. (“UAHC-TN”), was a managed care organization in the TennCare program, a State of Tennessee program that provided medical benefits to Medicaid and working uninsured recipients. On April 22, 2008, the Company learned that UAHC-TN would no longer be authorized to provide managed care services as a TennCare contractor when its TennCare contract expired on June 30, 2009. UAHC-TN’s TennCare members transferred to other managed care organizations on November 1, 2008, after which UAHC-TN continued to perform its remaining contractual obligations through its TennCare contract expiration date of June 30, 2009. However, revenue under this contract was only earned through October 31, 2008.
 
From January 2007 to December 2009, UAHC-TN served as a Medicare Advantage qualified organization (the “Medicare contract”) pursuant to a contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The contract authorized UAHC-TN to serve members enrolled in both the Tennessee Medicaid and Medicare programs, commonly referred to as “dual-eligibles,” specifically to offer a Special Needs Plan (“SNP”) to its eligible members in Shelby County, Tennessee (including the City of Memphis), and to operate a Voluntary Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.  The Company did not seek renewal of the Medicare contract, which expired December 31, 2009. The Company wound down the Medicare business and as of December 31, 2010, virtually all of the Tennessee operations had ceased.
 
On June 18, 2010, UAHC acquired Pulse Systems, LLC (referred to as “Pulse Systems” or “Pulse” or “Pulse Sellers”) for consideration with a fair value of $8.6 million. With the acquisition of Pulse Systems, LLC on June 18, 2010, UAHC now provides contract manufacturing services to the medical device industry, with a focus on precision laser-cutting capabilities and the processing of thin-wall tubular metal components, sub-assemblies and implants, primarily in the cardiovascular market.
