NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

American HomePatient, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in September 1991. American HomePatient Inc.’s principal executive offices are located at 5200 Maryland Way, Suite 400, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027-5018, and its telephone number at that address is (615) 221-8884. American HomePatient, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) provides home health care services and products consisting primarily of respiratory and infusion therapies and the rental and sale of home medical equipment and home health care supplies. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, such services represented 65%, 15% and 20%, respectively of revenues. These services and products are paid for primarily by Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors. As of June 30, 2002, the Company provided these services to patients primarily in the home through 286 centers in 35 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. American HomePatient, Inc. and 24 of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) on July 31, 2002 (the “Bankruptcy Filing”). As of July 31, 2002, the Company began operating its business as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Filing is discussed in more detail in Note 11. Since the Bankruptcy Filing occurred after the end of the quarterly results presented herein, such results have not been prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.”

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, 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 of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normally recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2002 and the results of operations and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire respective years. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had current assets of $80.0 million and current liabilities of $318.9 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $238.9 million and current ratio of 0.3x as compared to a working capital deficit of $240.4 million and a current ratio of 0.3x at December 31, 2001.

The Company is the borrower under the Bank Credit Facility between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company, successor to Bankers Trust Company, as agent for the Lenders. The Company’s breach of several of the financial covenants in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and its failure to make a scheduled principal payment due March 15, 2001 caused the Company to not be in compliance with certain covenants of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On June 8, 2001, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) that provided a new loan to the Company from which the proceeds were used to pay off all existing loans under the Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes modified financial covenants and a revised amortization schedule. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement no longer contains a revolving loan component; all existing indebtedness is now in the form of a term loan which matures on December 31, 2002. The Amended Credit Agreement requires principal payments of $750,000 on September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001; a principal payment of $11.6 million on March 31, 2002; principal payments of $1.0 million on June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002; and a Balloon Payment of $281.5 million on December 31, 2002. As of August 8, 2002, the Company has paid the $750,000 principal payment due on September 30, 2001, the $750,000 principal payment due on December 31, 2001, the $11.6 million principal payment due on March 31, 2002 as well as the $1.0 million principal payment due on June 30, 2002, the $1.0 million principal payment due on September 30, 2002, and $6.1 million of the Balloon Payment due on December 31, 2002. The Bankruptcy Filing stayed all remaining payments required by the Amended Credit Agreement. These early payments of 2002 principal were generated from operational cash flows, from the sales of assets of centers, from the sales of the Company’s wholly-owned real estate and from the collection of patient receivables associated with the asset sales. The Bank Credit Facility matures on December 31, 2002, and payment of the entire outstanding balance (the “Balloon Payment”) is due at that time. Anticipated future cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to pay the Balloon Payment. There can be no assurance that the Bank Credit Facility will be renewed, and if there is no renewal, then the Company’s ability to make the Balloon Payment is contingent upon obtaining replacement financing. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Additional sources of funds may be required and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Amended Credit Agreement further provides for mandatory prepayments of principal from the Company’s excess cash flow and from the proceeds of the Company’s sales of securities, sales of assets, tax refunds or excess casualty loss payments. Substantially all of the Company’s assets have been pledged as security for borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility. Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility, as of August 8, 2002, totals $275.4 million (which excludes letters of credit totaling $3.4 million).

The Amended Credit Agreement further provides for the payment to the Lenders of certain fees. These fees include a restructuring fee of $1.2 million (paid on the effective date of the Amended Credit Agreement), $200,000 payable on each of December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, as well as $459,000 payable on September 30, 2002. In addition, the Company has an obligation to pay the agent an annual administrative fee of $75,000 and an annual fee of .50% of the average monthly outstanding indebtedness on each anniversary of the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, the most restrictive of which relate to measurements of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), leverage, interest coverage ratios, and collections of accounts receivable. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains provisions for periodic reporting.

The Amended Credit Agreement also contains restrictions which, among other things, impose certain limitations or prohibitions on the Company with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness, the creation of liens, the payment of dividends, the redemption or repurchase of securities, investments, acquisitions, capital expenditures, sales of assets and transactions with affiliates. The Company is not permitted to make acquisitions or investments in joint ventures without the consent of Lenders holding a majority of the lending commitments under the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, proceeds of all of the Company’s accounts receivable are transferred daily into a bank account at PNC Bank, N.A. which, under the terms of a Concentration Bank Agreement, requires that all amounts in excess of $3.0 million be transferred to an account at Deutsche Bank Trust Company in the Company’s name. Upon occurrence of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Lenders have the right to instruct PNC Bank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company to cease honoring any drafts under the accounts and apply all amounts in the bank accounts against the indebtedness owed to the Lenders.

Interest is payable on the unpaid principal amount under the Amended Credit Agreement, at the election of the Company, at either a Base Lending Rate or an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin of 2.75% and 3.50%, respectively. The Company is also required to pay additional interest in the amount of 4.50% per annum on that principal portion outstanding of the Amended Credit Agreement that is in excess of four times adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2002, the weighted average borrowing rate was 7.3%. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement, interest would be payable upon demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under the Amended Credit Agreement and the Company no longer would have the right to designate the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin as the applicable interest rate.

The Company was required to issue, effective on March 31, 2001, warrants to the Lenders representing 19.999% of the common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2001, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (which amendment was entered into on April 14, 1999). To fulfill these obligations, warrants to purchase 3,265,315 shares of common stock were issued to the Lenders on June 8, 2001. Fifty percent of these warrants are exercisable during the period commencing June 1, 2001 and ending May 31, 2011, and the remaining fifty percent are exercisable during the period commencing September 30, 2001 and ending September 29, 2011. The exercise price of

the warrants is $0.01 per share. The Company accounted for the fair value of these warrants during the fourth quarter of 2000 as the issuance of these warrants was determined to be probable. As such, the Company increased deferred financing costs by $686,000 to recognize the estimated fair value of the warrants as of December 31, 2000. As of August 8, 2002 these warrants have not been exercised.

3.     GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $65,000, $66,941,000, and $12,892,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001, respectively, and has a shareholders’ deficit of $53,381,000 at June 30, 2002. The Company has substantial debt balances related to the Amended Credit Agreement, of which $275.4 million is due on or before December 31, 2002. There is currently no commitment as to how any such payment would be satisfied by the Company. See Note 11 for further information related to the Bankruptcy Filing. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments of recorded asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

See Note 11 for a discussion of the Company’s proceedings under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. Through the bankruptcy proceedings, the Company plans to extend the maturity on the Bank Credit Facility, reduce the related interest cost on such debt, and to pay all of its reported liabilities. Under this plan, the Company will continue to be highly leveraged and subject to substantial interest costs. In addition, the Company has plans to improve financial performance through consolidating operations, stabilizing and increasing profitable revenues, decreasing and controlling operating expenses and improving accounts receivable performance. The Company is unable to predict whether its bankruptcy plan will be accepted, or it will be able to successfully execute its operating plan after bankruptcy. If the Company is unable to successfully emerge from bankruptcy and continue to improve its operations, its financial position, results of operations and cash flows would be impacted adversely.

Management’s cash flow projections and related operating plans indicate that the Company can operate on its existing cash and cash flow and make all payments provided for in its proposed Plan of Reorganization. However, as with all projections, there can be no guarantee that management’s projections will be achieved. The Bankruptcy Filing (as defined in Note 11) and the related uncertainties could disrupt operations and could negatively affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has taken a number of steps designed to minimize any such disruptions including requesting critical vendor status for certain vendors, communicating with other vendors regarding ongoing operations, requesting Bankruptcy Court permission to assume certain executory contracts, seeking approval of a Key Employee Retention Plan, establishing an employee communication program regarding the Bankruptcy Filing and related issues, and communicating with referral sources and patients as needed. The uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Bankruptcy Filing may impair the Company’s ability to receive trade credit from its vendors and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

4.     GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION AND LITIGATION

On June 11, 2001, a settlement agreement (the “Government Settlement”) was entered among the Company, the United States of America, acting through the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and on behalf of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) and the TRICARE Management Activity, and a former Company employee, as relator. The Government Settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, the court in which the relator’s false claim action was filed. The Government Settlement covers alleged improprieties by the Company during the period from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1998, including allegedly improper billing activities and allegedly improper remuneration to and contracts with physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers. Pursuant to the Government Settlement, the Company made an initial payment of $3,000,000 in the second quarter of 2001 and agreed to make additional payments in the principal amount of $4,000,000, together with interest on this amount, in installments due at various times until March 2006. The Company also agreed to pay the relator’s attorneys fees and expenses. The Company’s Plan of Reorganization proposes that the Company will timely pay all amounts owed in accordance with the Government Settlement. The Company has reserved $4,236,000 for its future obligations pursuant to the Government Settlement. The Government Settlement does not resolve the relator’s claims that the Company discriminated against him as a result of his reporting alleged violations of the law to the government. The Company denies and intends to vigorously defend these claims.

The Company also was named as a defendant in two other False Claims Act cases. In each of those cases, the DOJ declined to intervene and both cases were subsequently dismissed in March 2001. The first of these cases, United States ex rel. Kirk S. Corsello v. Lincare, et al. (N.D. Ga.), was dismissed with prejudice on motion of the Company on March 9, 2001. The appeal of that dismissal was argued in November 2001; however, in December 2001 the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit dismissed the appeal on jurisdictional grounds and returned the case to the trial court. In January 2002, one of the other defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Court of Appeals, and the Court of Appeals denied the motion on July 10, 2002. On August 5, 2002 the Company filed a Notice of Bankruptcy which stays the proceedings as to the Company. Mr. Corsello’s qui tam complaint alleged that the Company and numerous other unrelated defendants, including other large DME suppliers, engaged in a kickback scheme to provide free or below market value equipment and medicine to physicians who would in turn refer patients to the defendants in violation of the False Claims Act. The other case, United States ex rel. Alan D. Hutchison v. Respironics, et al. (S.D. NY and N.D. Ga.), was dismissed without prejudice on Mr. Hutchison’s own motion on March 22, 2001. Since that date, the Company has not been served with any additional papers in this case. Mr. Hutchison’s qui tam complaint alleged that the Company and numerous other unrelated defendants filed false claims with Medicare for ventilators that the defendants allegedly knew were not medically necessary.

The Company was informed in May 2001 that the United States is investigating its conduct during periods after December 31, 1998, and the Company believes that this investigation was prompted by another qui tam complaint against the Company under the False Claims Act. The Company has not seen a complaint in this action, but believes that it contains allegations similar to the ones investigated by the government in connection with the False Claims Act case covered by the

11


Table of Contents

Government Settlement discussed above. The Company believes that this second case will be limited to allegedly improper activities occurring after December 31, 1998.

There can be no assurances as to the final outcome of any pending False Claims Act lawsuits. Possible outcomes include, among other things, the repayment of reimbursements previously received by the Company related to improperly billed claims, the imposition of fines or penalties, and the suspension or exclusion of the Company from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other government reimbursement programs. Other than the $4,236,000 reserve discussed above which relates to the Government Settlement, the Company has not recorded any reserves related to the unsettled government investigations. The outcome of any pending lawsuits or future settlements could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is a party to other legal proceedings incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, any ultimate liability with respect to these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

5.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A partner in the law firm of Harwell Howard Hyne Gabbert & Manner, P.C. (“H3GM”), which the Company engaged during 2002 and 2001 to render legal advice in a variety of activities, was a director of the Company until July 2002. The Company paid H3GM $195,000, $391,000, $134,000 and $251,000 during the three and six months ended June, 30, 2002 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

The Company maintains an employee benefit trust for the purpose of paying health insurance claims for its employees. The trust was established in June 2002 and was funded with an initial deposit of $0.5 million in July 2002. Disbursements from the trust began in late July 2002. The Company deposits funds into the trust on an as needed basis to pay claims.

6.     SALE OF ASSETS OF CENTER

In the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.7 million related to the sale of the assets of an infusion business and nursing agency (collectively, the “Center”). Effective March 19, 2002, substantially all of the assets of the Center were sold for approximately $1.3 million in cash. Funds representing the value of the remaining assets of the Center have been escrowed pending regulatory approvals and will be released once these are obtained. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Center generated $0, $1.9 million, $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in total revenues. The proceeds of this sale were used to pay down debt under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility.

In addition, the Company sold two unprofitable infusion centers in April 2001. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the infusion centers generated approximately $0 and $0.9 million, respectively, in total revenues. The proceeds of the sale were used to pay down debt under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility.

7.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

Under the standards established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” earnings per share is measured at two levels: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants. In computing diluted earnings per share, the outstanding stock warrants and stock options are considered dilutive using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, approximately 4,125,000, 4,324,000, 6,036,000 and 3,383,000 shares, respectively, attributable to the exercise of outstanding options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect was antidilutive.

The following information is necessary to calculate earnings per share for the periods presented:

8.     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria which intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001. See Note 9 “Adoption of SFAS No. 142” for disclosure of the impact of SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002.

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS No. 143”) effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 requires that a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company does not expect the future adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The Company’s January 1, 2002 adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS No. 145”). SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” SFAS No. 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also makes several technical corrections and clarifications to other existing authoritative pronouncements. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of this Statement related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The Company’s adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 145 which were effective for transactions after May 15, 2002 did not have a material effect on its financial statements. The Company is evaluating the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 145 and will adopt the remaining provisions prospectively on January 1, 2003.

Table of Contents

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”) effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”(“Issue 94-3”). The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and Issue 94-3 relates to the requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 146 on its financial statements and will adopt the provisions of this Statement prospectively on January 1, 2003.

9.     ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 142

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the adoption date, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $189.7 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, effective January 1, 2002 the Company discontinued amortization of goodwill. Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. Fair value was determined using projected operating results and a combination of analyses which included discounted cash flow calculations, market multiples and other market information. Key assumptions used in these estimates include projected operating results, discount rates and peer market multiples. The implied fair value of goodwill did not support the carrying value of goodwill primarily due to the Company’s highly leveraged capital structure.

Based upon the results of the Company’s initial impairment tests, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $68.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. There was no tax effect on the impairment loss due to the fact that the majority of the related goodwill was non-tax deductible and because of the Company’s federal net operating loss position. The Company will conduct annual impairment tests hereafter, unless specific events arise which warrant more immediate testing. Any subsequent impairment losses will be recognized as an operating expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded goodwill amortization expense of $1.4 million and $2.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 and is as follows:

         
    2002
   
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, beginning of period
  $ 189,699,000  
Transitional impairment loss
    (68,485,000 )
 
   
 
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, end of period
  $ 121,214,000

10.     RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s June 30, 2002 consolidated financial statements, the Company’s management determined that the accounting treatment initially afforded to certain transactions was not correct. A summary of these items is provided below.

In June 2001, the Company executed the Amended Credit Agreement (see Note 2) incurring restructuring fees of approximately $2,259,000. These fees were initially expensed as paid but should have been accrued and recorded as deferred financing costs and amortized over the appropriate term. In addition, in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to its Lenders. The Company initially amortized these warrants incorrectly. The Amended Credit Agreement also stipulated that the Company pay an administrative fee of $75,000 and an annual fee of 0.50% of the average monthly outstanding indebtedness. These fees were capitalized as deferred financing costs when paid, which were subsequently amortized instead of accruing the costs as interest expense as incurred. Finally, the Amended Credit Agreement and its predecessor agreement (the “Agreements”), called for the payment of additional interest in the amount of 4.5% per annum on that principal portion outstanding in excess of four times Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Agreements. The initial accounting for this interest was not appropriate. As a result of the above, deferred financing costs, net were understated by approximately $764,000, accrued financing costs and accrued interest were overstated by approximately $1,059,000 and $541,000, respectively, at June 30, 2001.

expense should have been approximately $316,000 and $541,000 higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, and amortization of deferred financing costs should have been approximately $295,000 higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

Deferred financing costs, net, accrued interest and accrued financing costs were understated by approximately $309,000, $1,188,000 and $859,000, respectively, at December 31, 2001.

Deferred financing costs, net were understated by approximately $1,722,000, accrued financing costs and accrued interest were overstated by approximately $400,000 and $725,000, respectively, at June 30, 2002. Interest expense should have been approximately $359,000 and $714,000 higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and amortization of deferred financing costs should have been approximately $195,000 and $118,000 lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company accounted for certain leases as operating leases, which should have been recorded as capital leases.

As a result, property and equipment, net and capital lease obligations both were understated by approximately $1,045,000 at June 30, 2001. Interest expense should have been approximately $23,000 and $47,000 higher and depreciation expense should have been approximately $124,000 and $249,000 higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

As a result of the above, property and equipment, net and capital lease obligations were understated by approximately $883,000 and $885,000, respectively, at December 31, 2001.

As a result of the above, property and equipment, net was overstated by approximately $238,000 and capital lease obligations were overstated by approximately $237,000 at June 30, 2002. Interest expense should have been approximately $15,000 and $32,000 higher and depreciation expense should have been approximately $119,000 and $238,000 higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Rent expense was overstated by approximately $133,000 and $269,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

In addition, the Company determined the following related to its June 30, 2001 consolidated financial statements:

    Interest expense related to the Government Settlement was not recorded resulting in an understatement of interest expense of approximately $16,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001;
 
    Certain reserves and accruals related to inventory required adjustment resulting in an increase in cost of sales and related services of approximately $380,000 and $277,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively;

    Certain costs that were improperly capitalized in the three months ended March 31, 2002, resulted in amortization that was improperly included in operating expense. This resulted in an overstatement of operating expenses of approximately $180,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and an understatement of operating expense of approximately $360,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002;

    Certain of its investments in bonds were not appropriately accounted for resulting in an overstatement of assets and interest income of approximately $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

The Company also made other miscellaneous adjustments to its previously issued June 30, 2001 financial statements that had the effect of increasing previously reported net loss by approximately $69,000 and $82,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

In addition to the aforementioned restatement items, adjustments pertaining to the amortization of warrants, certain of the Company’s investments and general and administrative expenses related to the year ended December 31, 2000 were also identified. The Company recorded the effects of these adjustments, which would have decreased previously reported 2000 net loss by approximately $0 and $477,000, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company did not account for a federal income tax receivable related to the enactment of the Job Creation and Workers Assistance Act of 2002. As a result, federal income tax receivable and the benefit from income taxes were understated by approximately $2,112,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT – BANKRUPTCY FILING

On July 31, 2002, American HomePatient, Inc. and 24 of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (the “Bankruptcy Court”). These cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) have been consolidated for the purpose of joint administration under Case Number 02-08915-GP3-11. Pleadings in these cases may be viewed at the Court’s website, . On January 2, 2003, the Debtors filed its Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), proposed by the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed by the Office of the United States Trustee in the Chapter 11 Cases. A Disclosure Statement, the purpose of which is to enable creditors entitled to vote on the Plan to make an informed decision before exercising their right to vote, accompanied the Plan and was also filed on January 2, 2003. The hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on confirmation of the Plan has been set for April 23, 2003. The filing was prompted by the impending December 31, 2002 maturity of the Bank Credit Facility evidenced by the Amended Credit Agreement between the Company and Bank of Montreal, as agent for a syndicate of lenders (the “Lenders”). Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility as of June 30, 2002 totals $275.4 million (which excludes letters of credit totaling $3.4 million).

As of July 31, 2002 the Debtors are operating their business as a debtor-in-possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. As a debtor-in-possession, the Company is authorized to operate its business but may not engage in transactions outside its ordinary course of business without the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has not sought to obtain debtor-in-possession secured financing (“DIP Financing”) and currently does not intend to do so. Rather, the Company has used and intends to continue using cash flow and cash on hand to fund day-to-day operations during the bankruptcy process, which is consistent with its operations since the Lenders terminated the Company’s ability to access a revolving line of credit in 2000. The Bankruptcy Filing is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s existing joint ventures with unrelated parties, and the Company currently does not anticipate that any other subsidiary or affiliate of the Company will file a voluntary petition for relief.

On October 15, 2002, the Company, the Lenders and the unsecured creditors filed an agreed order with the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the use of cash collateral and granting adequate protection payments to the Lenders. This order authorizes the Company to use cash collateral, but provides certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to make cash disbursements. The Company is authorized to use cash collateral solely for the following purposes: (i) to make cash disbursements as set forth in a cash forecast prepared by the Company, not to exceed 5% in any four week rolling period; (ii) to pay fees required by the Office of the United States Trustee; (iii) to make adequate protection payments to the Lenders; and (iv) to replace or increase certain letters of credit. The Company agreed to make adequate protection payments to the Lenders of $1,600,000 per month beginning with the month of August 2002, subject to maintaining a required minimum cash balance of $12,000,000 plus the amount necessary to fund incentive bonuses that are due through March 31, 2003, as well as any amounts necessary to replace or increase letters of credit. An initial payment totaling $3,200,000 for August and September 2002, in the aggregate, was made on October 15, 2002, and additional adequate protection payments have been paid on the 15th of each successive month. The application of such

payments is subject to further order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court may recharacterize the application of any payment regardless of how characterized by the Company or the Lenders.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “likely,” “could” and words of similar import. Such statements include statements concerning the Company’s business strategy, operations, cost savings initiatives, future compliance with accounting standards, industry, economic performance, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, governmental regulations, future compliance with Bank Credit Facility covenants, legislative proposals for healthcare reform, the ability to enter into strategic alliances and arrangements with managed care providers on an acceptable basis, and changes in reimbursement policies. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. The forward-looking statements are made as of the original filing date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company does not undertake to update to the filing date of this Form 10-Q/A the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons that actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company’s management determined that the accounting treatment initially afforded to certain transactions was not correct. This Form 10-Q/A is being filed for the purpose of amending and restating Part I, Items 1 and 2, and Part II, Item 6 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2002 originally filed on August 14, 2002. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and as of December 31, 2001 have been restated. See Note 10 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of the significant effects of the restatement. The following discussion and analysis gives effect to the restatement.

Recent Developments

American HomePatient, Inc. and 24 of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for protection under the Bankruptcy Code on July 31, 2002. As of July 31, 2002, the Company is operating its business as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. See Note 11 “Subsequent Event – Bankruptcy Filing” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

General

The Company provides home health care services and products to patients through its 286 centers in 35 states. These services and products are primarily paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and other

28


Table of Contents

third-party payors. The Company has three principal services or product lines: home respiratory services, home infusion services and home medical equipment and supplies. Home respiratory services include oxygen systems, nebulizers, aerosol medications and home ventilators and are provided primarily to patients with severe and chronic pulmonary diseases. Home infusion services are used to administer nutrients, antibiotics and other medications to patients with medical conditions such as neurological impairments, infectious diseases or cancer. The Company also sells and rents a variety of home medical equipment and supplies, including wheelchairs, hospital beds and ambulatory aids.

The following table sets forth the percentage of the Company’s revenues represented by each line of business for the periods presented:

                   
      Six Months Ended June 30,

Total
    100 %     100 %
 
   
     
 

Prior to 1998, the Company had significantly expanded its operations through a combination of home health care acquisitions and joint ventures and strategic alliances with integrated health care delivery systems. In 1998, the Company purposefully slowed its acquisition activity compared to prior years to focus on existing operations. Since 1998, the Company has not acquired any home health care businesses or developed any new joint ventures other than converting several of its previously owned 50% joint ventures to wholly-owned operations during 1999 and 2000. During 2001, the Company sold certain non-core assets. These consisted of its rehab centers, three infusion centers, and two respiratory and home medical equipment centers, which were sold for an aggregate of $11.1 million in cash. The Company used proceeds from those sales to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, during 2001 the Company used $1.0 million in proceeds from the sales of its wholly-owned real estate and $0.5 million in proceeds from the collection of patient receivables associated with the sold centers to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. In March 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of an infusion center for $1.3 million in cash and used the proceeds to pay down the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, during 2002 the Company used $1.9 million in proceeds from the collection of patient receivables associated with the sold centers to pay down the Bank Credit Facility.

The Company’s strategy for 2002 is to maintain a diversified offering of home health care services reflective of its current business mix. Respiratory services will remain a primary focus along with home medical equipment rental and enteral nutrition products and services.

Government Regulation

General. The Company, as a participant in the health care industry, is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation. In addition to the False Claims Act and other federal and state anti-kickback and self-referral laws applicable to all of the Company’s operations (discussed more

29


Table of Contents

fully below), the operations of the Company’s home health care centers are subject to federal laws covering the repackaging and dispensing of drugs (including oxygen) and regulating interstate motor-carrier transportation. Such centers also are subject to state laws (most notably licensing and controlled substances registration) governing pharmacies, nursing services and certain types of home health agency activities.

The Company’s operations are also subject to a series of laws and regulations dating back to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (“OBRA 1987”) which apply to the Company’s operation. Periodic changes have occurred from time to time since the enactment of OBRA 1987, including reimbursement reductions and changes to payment rules.

The Federal False Claims Act imposes civil liability on individuals or entities that submit false or fraudulent claims to the government for payment. False Claims Act penalties for violations can include sanctions, including civil monetary penalties. As a provider of services under the federal reimbursement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE (formerly CHAMPUS), the Company is subject to the anti-kickback statute, also known as the “fraud and abuse law.” This law prohibits any bribe, kickback, rebate or remuneration of any kind in return for, or as an inducement for, the referral of patients for government-reimbursed health care services. The Company may also be affected by the federal physician self-referral prohibition, known as the “Stark Law,” which, with certain exceptions, prohibits physicians from referring patients to entities with which they have a financial relationship. Many states in which the Company operates have adopted similar self-referral laws, as well as laws that prohibit certain direct or indirect payments or fee-splitting arrangements between health care providers, under the theory that such arrangements are designed to induce or to encourage the referral of patients to a particular provider. In many states, these laws apply to services reimbursed by all payor sources.

In 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) introduced a new category of federal criminal health care fraud offenses. If a violation of a federal criminal law relates to a health care benefit, then an individual is guilty of committing a federal health care offense. The specific offenses are: health care fraud; theft or embezzlement; false statements, obstruction of an investigation; and money laundering. These crimes can apply to claims submitted not only to government reimbursement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE, but to any third-party payor, and carry penalties including fines and imprisonment.

The Company must follow strict requirements with paperwork and billing. As required by law, it is Company policy that certain service charges (as defined by Medicare) falling under Medicare Part B are confirmed with a Certificate for Medical Necessity (“CMN”) signed by a physician. In January 1999, the OIG published a draft Model Compliance Plan for the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supply Industry. The OIG has stressed the importance for all health care providers to have an effective compliance plan. The Company has created and implemented a compliance program, which it believes meets the elements of the OIG’s Model Plan for the industry. As part of its compliance program, the Company performs internal audits of the adequacy of billing documentation. The Company’s policy is to voluntarily refund to the government any reimbursements previously received for claims with insufficient documentation that are identified in this process and that cannot be corrected. The Company periodically reviews and updates its policies and procedures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations; however, certain proceedings have been and may in the future be commenced against the Company

30


Table of Contents

alleging violations of applicable laws governing the operation of the Company’s business and its billing practices.

The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 introduced several government initiatives which are either in the planning or implementation stages and which, when fully implemented, could have a material adverse impact on reimbursement for products and services provided by the Company. These initiatives include: (i) Prospective Payment System (“PPS”) requirements for skilled nursing facilities and PPS for home health agencies, which do not affect the Company directly but could affect the Company’s contractual relationships with such entities; (ii) deadlines (as yet undetermined) for obtaining Medicare and Medicaid surety bonds for home health agencies and DME suppliers; and (iii) pilot projects in Polk County, Florida and San Antonio, Texas which were effective between October 1, 1999 and September 30, 2002, and February 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively, to determine the efficacy of competitive bidding for certain durable medical equipment (“DME”), under which Medicare reimbursements for certain items are reduced between 19% to 34% from the current fee schedules (the Company participated to some extent in both pilot projects). At expiration, the DME items reverted to normal Medicare fees and procedures, although the Bush administration has announced that it intends to expand competitive bidding on a national basis, building on these two pilot projects that yielded savings to Medicare. The United States House of Representatives recently passed a bill that includes provisions for a national competitive bidding program for durable medical equipment, including home oxygen equipment. The United States Senate has recently considered three separate bills that include some provision for national competitive bidding. At the present time, the Senate has not voted on any of these three bills under consideration. The Company cannot predict at this time the outcome of proposed legislation related to a national competitive bidding program or the financial impact of such a program on the Company’s business, if it should become law.

The Company is also subject to state laws governing Medicaid, professional training, licensure, financial relationships with physicians and the dispensing and storage of pharmaceuticals. The facilities operated by the Company must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and licensing standards and many of the Company’s employees must maintain licenses to provide some of the services offered by the Company. Additionally, certain of the Company’s employees are subject to state laws and regulations governing the professional practice of respiratory therapy, pharmacy and nursing.

Information about individuals and other health care providers who have been sanctioned or excluded from participation in government reimbursement programs is readily available on the Internet, and all health care providers, including the Company, are held responsible for carefully screening entities and individuals they employ or do business with, to avoid contracting with an excluded provider. The entity cannot bill government programs for services or supplies provided by an excluded provider, and the federal government may also impose sanctions, including financial penalties, on companies that contract with excluded providers.

Health care law is an area of extensive and dynamic regulatory oversight. Changes in laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations can have a dramatic effect on permissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business, and the amount and availability of reimbursement from government and other third-party payors. There can be no

31


Table of Contents

assurance that federal, state or local governments will not impose additional standards or change existing standards or interpretations.

Enforcement Activities. In recent years, various state and federal regulatory agencies have stepped up investigative and enforcement activities with respect to the health care industry, and many health care providers, including the Company and other durable medical equipment suppliers, have received subpoenas and other requests for information in connection with their business operations and practices. From time to time, the Company also receives notices and subpoenas from various government agencies concerning plans to audit the Company, or requesting information regarding certain aspects of the Company’s business. The Company cooperates with the various agencies in responding to such subpoenas and requests. The Company expects to incur additional legal expenses in the future in connection with existing and future investigations.

The government has broad authority and discretion in enforcing applicable laws and regulations; therefore, the scope and outcome of any such investigations, inquiries, or legal actions cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that federal, state or local governments will not impose additional regulations upon the Company’s current activities nor that the Company’s past activities will not be found to have violated some of the governing laws and regulations. Any such regulatory changes or findings of violations of laws could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial position, and could even result in the exclusion of the Company from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other government reimbursement programs.

Legal Proceedings. On June 11, 2001, a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) was entered into among the Company, the United States of America, acting through the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and on behalf of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) and the TRICARE Management Activity, and a former Company employee, as relator. This Settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, the court in which the relator’s false claim action was filed. The Settlement covers alleged improprieties by the Company during the period from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1998, including allegedly improper billing activities and allegedly improper remuneration to and contracts with physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company made an initial payment of $3,000,000 in the second quarter of 2001 and agreed to make additional payments in the principal amount of $4,000,000, together with interest on this amount, in installments due at various times until March 2006. The Company also agreed to pay the relator’s attorneys fees and expenses. The Company’s Plan of Reorganization proposes that the Company will timely pay all amounts owed in accordance with the Settlement. The Company has reserved $4,236,000 for its future obligations pursuant to the Settlement. The Settlement does not resolve the relator’s claims that the Company discriminated against him as a result of his reporting alleged violations of the law to the government. The Company denies and intends to vigorously defend these claims.

The Company also was named as a defendant in two other False Claims Act cases. In each of those cases, the DOJ declined to intervene and such cases were subsequently dismissed in March 2001. The first of these cases, United States ex rel. Kirk S. Corsello v. Lincare, et al. (N.D. Ga.), was dismissed with prejudice on the motion of the Company on March 9, 2001. The appeal of that dismissal was argued in November 2001, however, in December 2001 the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit dismissed the appeal on jurisdictional grounds and returned the case to the trial

32


Table of Contents

court. In January 2002, one of the other defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Court of Appeals, and the Court of Appeals denied the motion on July 10, 2002. On August 5, 2002 the Company filed a Notice of Bankruptcy which stays the proceedings as to the Company. The Company cannot predict when the appeals court decision will be handed down, or the outcome of the appeal. Mr. Corsello’s qui tam complaint alleged that the Company and numerous other unrelated defendants, including other large DME suppliers, engaged in a kickback scheme to provide free or below market value equipment and medicine to physicians who would in turn refer patients to the defendants in violation of the False Claims Act. The other case, United States ex rel. Alan D. Hutchison v. Respironics, et al. (S.D. NY and N.D. Ga.), was dismissed without prejudice on Mr. Hutchison’s own motion on March 22, 2001. Since that date, the Company has not been served with any additional papers in this case. Mr. Hutchison’s qui tam complaint alleged that the Company and numerous other unrelated defendants filed false claims with Medicare for ventilators that the defendants allegedly knew were not medically necessary.

The Company was informed in May 2001 that the United States is investigating its conduct during periods after December 31, 1998, and the Company believes that this investigation was prompted by another qui tam complaint against the Company under the False Claims Act. The Company has not seen a complaint in this action, but believes that it contains allegations similar to the ones investigated by the government in connection with the False Claims Act case covered by the Settlement discussed above. The Company believes that this second case will be limited to allegedly improper activities occurring after December 31, 1998.

There can be no assurances as to the final outcome of any pending False Claims Act lawsuits. Possible outcomes include, among other things, the repayment of reimbursements previously received by the Company related to billed claims that are found to be improper, the imposition of fines or penalties, and the suspension or exclusion of the Company from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other government reimbursement programs. Other than the $4,236,000 reserve discussed above which relates to the Settlement, the Company has not recorded any reserves related to the unsettled government investigations. The outcome of any pending lawsuits or future settlements could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Medicare Reimbursement for Oxygen Therapy Services

The Medicare reimbursement rate for oxygen related services was reduced by 25% beginning January 1, 1998 as a result of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 with an additional reduction of 5% beginning January 1, 1999. The reimbursement rate for certain drugs and biologicals covered under Medicare was also reduced by 5% beginning January 1, 1998. The Company is one of the nation’s largest providers of home oxygen services to patients, many of whom are Medicare recipients, and is therefore significantly affected by this legislation. Medicare oxygen reimbursements account for a significant portion of the Company’s on-going revenues. In January 2001, federal legislation was signed into law that provided for a one-time increase, beginning July 1, 2001, in Medicare reimbursement rates for home medical equipment, excluding oxygen related services, based on the consumer price index (“CPI”). The Company estimates that this CPI increase increased revenue and pre-tax income by approximately $1.0 million over the third and fourth quarters of 2001 and will increase revenue by approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis thereafter. Medicare also has the option of developing fee schedules for PEN and home dialysis supplies and equipment, although currently there is no timetable for the development or implementation of such fee

33

schedules. Following promulgation of a final rule, CMS will also have “inherent reasonableness” authority to modify payment rates for all Medicare Part B items and services by as much as 15% without industry consultation, publication or public comment, if the rates are “grossly excessive” or “grossly deficient.” Therefore, the Company cannot be certain that additional reimbursement reductions for oxygen therapy services or other services and products provided by the Company will not occur. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Significant Accounting Policies” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Government Regulation.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates.

A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes the following accounting policies fit this definition:

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company provides credit for a substantial part of its non third-party reimbursed revenues and continually monitors the credit-worthiness and collectibility of amounts due from its patients. Approximately 61% of the Company’s year to date 2002 revenues are derived from participation in Medicare and state Medicaid programs. Amounts paid under these programs are generally based upon a fixed rate. Revenues are recorded at the expected reimbursement rates when the services are provided, merchandise delivered or equipment rented to patients. Although amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to review by such third-party payors, subsequent adjustments to reimbursements as a result of such reviews are historically insignificant as these reimbursements are based on fixed fee schedules. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustment that may result from such reviews. Any differences between estimated settlements and final determinations are reflected in operations in the year finalized.

Sales and related services revenues include all product sales to patients and are derived from the provision of infusion therapies, the sale of home health care equipment and supplies, the sale of aerosol medications and respiratory therapy equipment and supplies, and services related to the delivery of these products. Sales revenues are recognized at the time of delivery and are billed using fixed fee schedules based upon the type of product and the payor. Rentals and other patient revenues are derived from the rental of home health care equipment, enteral pumps and equipment related to the provision of respiratory therapy. All rentals of equipment are provided

by the Company on a month-to-month basis and are billed using fixed monthly fee schedules based upon the type of rental and the payor. The fixed monthly fee encompasses the rental of the product as well as the delivery and the set-up and instruction by the product technician.

The Company recognizes revenues at the time services are performed. As such, a portion of patient receivables consists of unbilled receivables for which the Company has not obtained all of the necessary medical documentation, but has provided the service or equipment. The Company calculates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the type of receivable (billed or unbilled) as well as the age of the receivable. As a receivable balance ages, an increasingly larger allowance is recorded for the receivable. All billed receivables over one year old and all unbilled receivables over 180 days old are fully reserved. Management believes that the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate and that historical collections substantiate the percentages at which amounts are reserved. However, the Company is subject to loss to the extent uncollectible receivables exceed its allowance for doubtful accounts. If the Company were to experience a deterioration in the aging of its accounts receivable due to disruptions or a slow down in cash collections, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense would likely increase from current levels. Conversely, an improvement in the Company’s cash collection trends and in its receivable aging would likely result in a decrease in both the allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense.

     Inventory Valuation Reserves and Cost of Sales Recognition. Inventories represent goods and supplies and are priced at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. The Company recognizes cost of sales and relieves inventory at estimated amounts on an interim basis based upon the type of product sold and payor mix, and performs physical counts of inventory at each center on an annual basis. Any resulting adjustment from these physical counts is charged to cost of sales. A reserve is established by management for the valuation of inventory consisting of reserves for incorrect cost of sales percentage estimates, inaccurate counts, obsolete and slow moving items and reserves for specific inventory. The reserves are based on a percentage of gross sales, a percentage of inventory or an amount for specifically identified inventory items. Management believes the current reserve is adequate to absorb estimated reductions in the account balance. The Company is subject to loss for unrecorded inventory adjustments in excess of its recorded inventory reserves.

     Rental Equipment Reserves. Rental equipment is rented to patients for use in their homes and is depreciated over the equipment’s estimated useful life. On an annual basis, the Company performs physical counts of rental equipment at each center and reconciles all recorded rental assets to internal billing reports. Any resulting adjustment for unlocated or obsolete equipment is charged to rental equipment depreciation expense. Since rental equipment is maintained in the patient’s home, the Company is subject to loss resulting from lost equipment as well as losses for outdated or obsolete equipment. Management records a reserve for potentially lost, broken, or obsolete rental equipment based upon historical adjustment amounts and believes the recorded rental reserve is adequate. The Company is subject to loss for unrecorded adjustments in excess of its recorded rental equipment reserves.

     Valuation of Long-lived Assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), management evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes

35


Table of Contents

in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Management utilizes estimated undiscounted future cash flows to determine if an impairment exists. When this analysis indicates an impairment exists, the amount of loss is determined based upon a comparison of estimated fair value with the carrying value of the asset. While management believes that the estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect the evaluations.

     Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). The Company was required to adopt the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized. Instead, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are required to be tested for impairment on an annual basis and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. As of August 8, 2002, the Company has not selected the annual testing date. The Company recorded goodwill amortization expense of $1.4 million and $2.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, and ceased amortizing goodwill effective January 1, 2002.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. The fair value was determined using a combination of analyses which included discounted cash flow calculations, market multiples and other market information. Key assumptions used in these estimates include projected operating results, discount rates and peer market multiples. The implied fair value of goodwill did not support the carrying value of goodwill primarily due to the Company’s highly leveraged capital structure, which resulted in impairment of $68.5 million. This impairment charge was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. There was no tax effect on the impairment loss due to the fact that the majority of the related goodwill was non-tax deductible and because of the Company’s federal net operating loss position.

     Self Insurance. Self-insurance reserves primarily represent the accrual for self-insurance or large deductible risks associated with workers’ compensation insurance and employee health insurance. The Company is insured for workers’ compensation but retains the first $250,000 of each claim. The Company is not maintaining annual aggregate stop loss coverage for 2002 and did not maintain annual aggregate stop loss coverage for 2001, as such coverage was not available. Judgments used in determining the self-insurance reserves related to workers’ compensation include loss development factors, frequency of claims and severity of claims. The estimated liability for workers’ compensation claims totaled approximately $3.8 million and $3.2 million as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company utilizes analyses prepared by its third-party administrator based on historical claims information to support the required reserve and related expense associated with workers’ compensation. The Company records claims expense by plan year based on the lesser of the aggregate stop loss (if applicable) or the developed losses as calculated by its third-party administrator.

The Company is also self-insured for health insurance for substantially all employees for the first $150,000 on a per person, per year basis and maintains annual aggregate stop loss coverage of

36


Table of Contents

$14.5 million and $8.9 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively. The health insurance policies are limited to maximum lifetime reimbursements of $2.0 million per person for 2002 and had unlimited lifetime reimbursements for 2001. The estimated liability for health insurance claims totaled approximately $2.2 million and $1.9 million as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company reviews health insurance trends and payment history and maintains a reserve for incurred but not reported claims based upon its assessment of lag time in reporting and paying claims. Judgments include assessing historical paid claims, average lags between the claims’ incurred dates, reported dates and paid dates, the frequency of claims and the severity of claims.

Management continually analyzes its reserves for incurred but not reported claims related to its self-insurance programs and believes these reserves to be adequate. However, significant judgment is involved in assessing these reserves, and the Company is at risk for differences between actual settlement amounts and recorded reserves, and any resulting adjustments are included in expense once a probable amount is known.

Results of Operations

The Company reports its revenues as follows: (i) sales and related services and (ii) rentals and other revenues. Sales and related services revenues are derived from the provision of infusion therapies, the sale of home health care equipment and supplies, the sale of aerosol and respiratory therapy equipment and supplies and services related to the delivery of these products. Rentals and other revenues are derived from the rental of home health care equipment, enteral pumps and equipment related to the provision of respiratory therapies. Cost of sales and related services includes the cost of equipment, drugs and related supplies sold to patients. Cost of rentals and other revenues includes the costs of oxygen and rental supplies, demurrage for leased oxygen tanks, rent expense for leased equipment, and rental equipment depreciation expense, and excludes delivery expenses and salaries associated with the rental set-up. Operating expenses include operating center labor costs, delivery expenses, division and area management expenses, selling costs, occupancy costs, billing center costs, provision for doubtful accounts, and other operating costs. General and administrative expenses include corporate and senior management expenses.

The majority of the Company’s hospital joint ventures are not consolidated for financial statement reporting purposes. Earnings from hospital joint ventures represent the Company’s equity in earnings from unconsolidated hospital joint ventures and management and administrative fees from unconsolidated hospital joint ventures.

     Sale of Assets of Center. In the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.7 million related to the sale of the assets of an infusion business and nursing agency (collectively, the “Center”). Effective March 19, 2002, substantially all of the assets of the Center were sold for approximately $1.3 million in cash. Funds representing the value of the remaining assets of the Center have been escrowed pending regulatory approvals and will be released once these are obtained. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Center generated approximately $0, $1.9 million, $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in total revenues. The proceeds of the sale were used to pay down debt under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility.

In addition, the Company sold two unprofitable infusion centers in April 2001. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the infusion centers generated approximately $0 and $0.9 million, respectively, in total revenues. The proceeds of the sale were used to pay down debt under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility.

     Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the adoption date, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $189.7 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, effective January 1, 2002 the Company discontinued amortization of goodwill. Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. Fair value was determined using a combination of analyses which included discounted cash flow calculations, market multiples and other market information. The implied fair value of goodwill did not support the carrying value of goodwill.

Based upon the results of the Company’s initial impairment tests, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $68.5 million with no related tax effect in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. There was no tax effect on the impairment loss due to the fact that the majority of the related goodwill was non-tax deductible and because of the Company’s federal net operating loss position. The Company will conduct annual impairment tests hereafter, unless specific events arise which warrant more immediate testing. Any subsequent impairment losses will be recognized as an operating expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded goodwill amortization expense of $1.4 million and $2.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

The results of operations between 2002 and 2001 are impacted by the asset sales of several centers in 2002 and 2001.

Revenues. Revenues decreased from $88.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $79.2 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 11%. During 2001, the Company sold the assets of three infusion centers, two respiratory and home medical equipment centers, and all of its rehab centers, in addition to the sale of substantially all of the assets of one infusion center during the first quarter of 2002. As a result of these asset sales, revenues were negatively impacted by $10.8 million in the current quarter. Without these asset sales, revenue for the quarter would have increased by $1.4 million compared to last year. Following is a discussion of the components of revenues:

      Sales and Related Services Revenues. Sales and related services revenues decreased from $42.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $33.8 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 20%. The 2001 sales of assets of three infusion centers, two respiratory and home medical equipment centers, and all of the rehab centers, as well as the sale of the assets of an infusion center during the first quarter of 2002, have negatively impacted sales in the current quarter by approximately $10.3 million.
 
      Rentals and Other Revenues. Rentals and other revenues decreased from $46.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $45.5 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 1%. The 2001 sales of two respiratory and home medical equipment centers have negatively impacted rental revenue in the current quarter by approximately $0.5 million.

Cost of Sales and Related Services. Cost of sales and related services decreased from $21.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $15.6 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 28%. As a percentage of sales and related services revenues, cost of sales and related services decreased from 51.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 46.1% for the same period in 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable to the sales of the infusion centers and the rehab centers which contributed lower margins.

Cost of Rentals and Other Revenues. Cost of rentals and other revenues decreased from $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $8.6 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 4%. As a percentage of rentals and other revenue, cost of rentals and other revenues were 19.4% and 18.9% for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased from $48.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $44.9 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 7%. This decrease is attributable to reduced operating expense as a result of the sales of certain centers during 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, as well as lower overall bad debt expense. Bad debt expense was 3.7% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 compared to 3.4% of revenues for the same period in 2002. The decrease in bad debt expense is attributable to strong cash collections during the second quarter of 2002.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $4.1 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $0.2 million, or 5%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.4% and 5.1% for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to higher legal fees and rent expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Earnings from Hospital Joint Ventures. Earnings from hospital joint ventures remained constant at $1.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation (excluding rental equipment) and amortization expenses decreased from $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $1.1 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 59%. Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and accordingly, ceased the amortization of its goodwill. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $1.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to certain property and equipment becoming fully depreciated.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased from $1.1 million in 2001 to $0.7 million in 2002, a decrease of $0.4 million or 36%.

Interest. Interest expense decreased from $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, to $5.1 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 15%. This decrease is attributable to reductions in the prime borrowing rate and reduced principal amounts outstanding.

Chapter 11 Financial Advisory Expenses Incurred Prior to Filing Bankruptcy. In the quarter ended June 30, 2002 the Company incurred $314,000 related to financial advisory and legal services in preparation of a possible Chapter 11 filing due to the Company’s December 2002 debt maturity. No such fees were incurred in the same quarter of 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased from $150,000 in 2001 to $100,000 in 2002. This decrease is due to reduced state income taxes paid in 2002 versus 2001.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

The results of operations between 2002 and 2001 are impacted by the asset sales of several centers in 2002 and 2001.

Revenues. Revenues decreased from $178.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $159.2 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $19.6 million, or 11%. During 2001, the Company sold the assets of three infusion centers, two respiratory and home medical equipment centers, and all of its rehab centers, in addition to the sale of substantially all of the assets of one infusion center during the first quarter of 2002. As a result of these asset sales, revenues were negatively impacted by $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Without these asset sales, revenue for the current six months would have increased by $0.9 million compared to the same period last year. Following is a discussion of the components of revenues:

Table of Contents

      Sales and Related Services Revenues. Sales and related services revenues decreased from $86.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $68.6 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $17.7 million, or 21%. The 2001 sales of assets of three infusion centers, two respiratory and home medical equipment centers, and all of the rehab centers, as well as the sale of the assets of an infusion center during the first quarter of 2002, have negatively impacted sales in the six months ended June 30, 2002 by approximately $18.9 million.
 
      Rentals and Other Revenues. Rentals and other revenues decreased from $92.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $90.6 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 2%. Rentals and other revenues were significantly impacted by the 2001 sales of two respiratory and home medical equipment centers which reduced rental revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2002 by approximately $1.7 million.

Cost of Sales and Related Services. Cost of sales and related services decreased from $43.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $32.1 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 27%. As a percentage of sales and related services revenues, cost of sales and related services decreased from 50.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 46.8% for the same period in 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable to the sales of the infusion centers and the rehab centers which contributed lower margins.

Cost of Rentals and Other Revenues. Cost of rentals and other revenues decreased from $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $16.8 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 4%. As a percentage of rentals and other revenue, cost of rentals and other revenues were 18.9% and 18.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased from $97.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $91.2 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 7%. This decrease is attributable to reduced operating expense as a result of the sales of certain centers during 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. Bad debt expense was 4.0% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 4.3% of revenue for the same period in 2002. The increase in current year bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue is attributable to a temporary slowdown in cash collections during January and February 2002.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $8.3 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.5% and 5.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. This increase is attributable to higher rent expense and higher salary expense in the current year. The increase in salary expense is the result of additional personnel investments in reimbursement and compliance activities and increased sales and marketing efforts.

Earnings from Hospital Joint Ventures. Earnings from hospital joint ventures increased from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $2.4 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $0.2 million, or 9%, which is primarily attributable to continued improvements in performance of certain joint ventures.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation (excluding rental equipment) and amortization expenses decreased from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $2.1 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 63%. Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 and accordingly, ceased the amortization of its goodwill. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to certain property and equipment becoming fully depreciated.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs increased from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.6 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $0.2 million, or 14%.

(Gain) Loss on Sales of Assets of Centers. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a gain of $0.7 million on the sale of the assets of an infusion business and nursing agency.

Interest. Interest expense decreased from $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, to $10.3 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 36%. This decrease is attributable to reductions in the prime borrowing rate and reduced principal amounts outstanding.

Chapter 11 Financial Advisory Expenses Incurred Prior to Filing Bankruptcy. In the six months ended June 30, 2002 the Company incurred $314,000 related to financial advisory and legal services in preparation of a possible Chapter 11 filing due to the Company’s December 2002 debt maturity. No such fees were incurred in the same period of 2001.

(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes. The (benefit from) provision for income taxes was $300,000 in 2001 compared to $(1.9) million in 2002. The benefit recorded in 2002 was the result of the enactment of the Job Creation and Workers Assistance Act of 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2002, the Company had current assets of $80.0 million and current liabilities of $318.9 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $238.9 million and current ratio of 0.3x as compared to a working capital deficit of $240.4 million and a current ratio of 0.3x at December 31, 2001.

On July 31, 2002, American HomePatient, Inc. and 24 of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (the “Bankruptcy Court”). These cases (the “Chapter 11 cases”) have been administratively consolidated for the purpose of joint administration under Case Number 02-08915-GP3-11. Pleadings in these cases may be viewed at the Court’s website, . The filing was prompted by the impending December 31, 2002 maturity of the Company’s Bank Credit Facility. Over the last several years, the Company unsuccessfully attempted to reach a long-term agreement to restructure its Bank Credit Facility outside of court, but this restructuring has not been possible, primarily due to the diversity of its large lender group, which is largely comprised of non-traditional participants. Therefore, the

43


Table of Contents

Company determined that filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code was in the best interests of all constituents.

As of July 31, 2002 the Company is operating as a debtor-in-possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. As a debtor-in-possession, the Company is authorized to operate its business but may not engage in transactions outside its ordinary course of business without the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has not sought to obtain debtor-in-possession secured financing (“DIP Financing”) and currently does not intend to do so. Rather, the Company has operated using cash flow and cash on hand to fund day-to day operations during the bankruptcy process, which is consistent with its operations since the Lenders terminated the Company’s ability to access a revolving line of credit in 2000. The Bankruptcy Filing should have no impact on the Company’s existing joint ventures with unrelated parties, and the Company currently does not anticipate that any other subsidiary or affiliate of the Company will file a voluntary petition for relief.

The Company is the borrower under the Bank Credit Facility between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company, successor to Bankers Trust Company, as agent for the Lenders. The Company’s breach of several of the financial covenants in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and its failure to make a scheduled principal payment due March 15, 2001 caused the Company to not be in compliance with certain covenants of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On June 8, 2001, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) that provided a new loan to the Company from which the proceeds were used to pay off all existing loans under the Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes modified financial covenants and a revised amortization schedule. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement no longer contains a revolving loan component; all existing indebtedness is now in the form of a term loan which matures on December 31, 2002. The Amended Credit Agreement requires principal payments of $750,000 on September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001; a principal payment of $11.6 million on March 31, 2002; principal payments of $1.0 million on June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002; and a Balloon Payment of $281.5 million on December 31, 2002. As of August 8, 2002, the Company has paid the $750,000 principal payment due on September 30, 2001, the $750,000 principal payment due on December 31, 2001, the $11.6 million principal payment due on March 31, 2002 as well as the $1.0 million principal payment due on June 30, 2002, $1.0 million principal payment due on September 30, 2002, and $6.1 million of the Balloon Payment due on December 31, 2002. The Bankruptcy Filing stayed all remaining payments required by the Amended Credit Agreement. These early payments of 2002 principal were generated from operational cash flows, from the sales of assets of centers, from the sales of the Company’s wholly-owned real estate and from the collection of patient receivables associated with the asset sales. Anticipated future cash flows from operations will not be sufficient to pay the debt upon its current maturity on December 31, 2002. There can be no assurance that the Bank Credit Facility will be renewed, and if there is no renewal, then the Company’s ability to make the Balloon Payment is contingent upon obtaining replacement financing. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Additional sources of funds may be required and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Amended Credit Agreement further provides for mandatory prepayments of principal from the Company’s excess cash flow and from the proceeds of the Company’s sales of securities, sales of assets, tax refunds or excess casualty loss payments. Substantially all of the

Table of Contents

Company’s assets have been pledged as security for borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility. Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility, as of August 8, 2002, totals $275.4 million (which excludes letters of credit totaling $3.4 million).

The Amended Credit Agreement further provides for the payment to the Lenders of certain fees. These fees include a restructuring fee of $1.2 million (paid on the effective date of the Amended Credit Agreement), $200,000 payable on each of December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, as well as $459,000 payable on September 30, 2002. In addition, the Company has an obligation to pay the agent an annual administrative fee of $75,000 and an annual fee of .50% of the average monthly outstanding indebtedness on each anniversary of the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, the most restrictive of which relate to measurements of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), leverage, interest coverage ratios, and collections of accounts receivable. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains provisions for periodic reporting.

The Amended Credit Agreement also contains restrictions which, among other things, impose certain limitations or prohibitions on the Company with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness, the creation of liens, the payment of dividends, the redemption or repurchase of securities, investments, acquisitions, capital expenditures, sales of assets and transactions with affiliates. The Company is not permitted to make acquisitions or investments in joint ventures without the consent of Lenders holding a majority of the lending commitments under the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, proceeds of all of the Company’s accounts receivable are transferred daily into a bank account at PNC Bank, N.A. which, under the terms of a Concentration Bank Agreement, requires that all amounts in excess of $3.0 million be transferred to an account at Deutsche Bank Trust Company in the Company’s name. Upon occurrence of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Lenders have the right to instruct PNC Bank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company to cease honoring any drafts under the accounts and apply all amounts in the bank accounts against the indebtedness owed to the Lenders.

Interest is payable on the unpaid principal amount under the Amended Credit Agreement, at the election of the Company, at either a Base Lending Rate or an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin of 2.75% and 3.50%, respectively. The Company is also required to pay additional interest in the amount of 4.50% per annum on that principal portion outstanding of the Amended Credit Agreement that is in excess of four times adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2002, the weighted average borrowing rate was 7.3%. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement, interest would be payable upon demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under the Amended Credit Agreement and the Company no longer would have the right to designate the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin as the applicable interest rate.

The Company was required to issue, effective on March 31, 2001, warrants to the Lenders representing 19.999% of the common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2001, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (which amendment was entered into on April 14, 1999). To fulfill these obligations, warrants to purchase 3,265,315 shares of common stock were issued to the Lenders

45


Table of Contents

on June 8, 2001. Fifty percent of these warrants are exercisable during the period commencing June 1, 2001 and ending May 31, 2011, and the remaining fifty percent are exercisable during the period commencing September 30, 2001 and ending September 29, 2011. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01 per share. The Company accounted for the fair value of these warrants during the fourth quarter of 2000 as the issuance of these warrants was determined to be probable. As such, the Company increased deferred financing costs by $686,000 to recognize the estimated fair value of the warrants as of December 31, 2000. As of August 8, 2002, these warrants have not been exercised.

The Company’s principal cash requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. The Company has met and intends to continue to meet these requirements with existing cash balances, net cash provided by operations and other available capital expenditure financing vehicles.

The Company is currently authorized to use cash collateral on an interim basis. The final hearing on the Company’s motion seeking use of cash collateral is scheduled for August 30, 2002. If the Company’s motion were denied, there likely would be a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue operations.

Management intends to improve financial performance through stabilizing and increasing profitable revenues, decreasing and controlling expenses and improving accounts receivable performance. Management’s cash flow projections and related operating plans indicate that the Company can operate on its existing cash and cash flow and make all payments provided for in its proposed Plan of Reorganization. However, as with all projections, there can be no guarantee that management’s projections will be achieved. The Bankruptcy Filing and the related uncertainties could disrupt operations and could negatively affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See “Risk Factors.” The Company has taken a number of steps designed to minimize any such disruptions including requesting critical vendor status for certain vendors, communicating with other vendors regarding ongoing operations, requesting Bankruptcy Court permission to assume certain executory contracts, seeking approval of a Key Employee Retention Plan, establishing an employee communication program regarding the Bankruptcy Filing and related issues, and communicating with referral sources and patients as needed. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of asset carrying amounts or the amounts of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Bankruptcy Filing may impair the Company’s ability to receive trade credit from its vendors and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company’s future liquidity will continue to be dependent upon the relative amounts of current assets (principally cash, accounts receivable and inventories) and current liabilities (principally accounts payable and accrued expenses). In that regard, accounts receivable can have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity. The Company has various types of accounts receivable, such as receivables from patients, contracts, and former owners of acquisitions. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are patient receivables. Accounts receivable are generally outstanding for longer periods of time in the health care industry than many other industries because of requirements to provide third-party payors with additional information subsequent to billing and

46


Table of Contents

the time required by such payors to process claims. Certain accounts receivable frequently are outstanding for more than 90 days, particularly where the account receivable relates to services for a patient receiving a new medical therapy or covered by private insurance or Medicaid. Net patient accounts receivable were $56.5 million and $60.1 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Average days’ sales in accounts receivable (“DSO”) was approximately 66 and 68 days at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company calculates DSO by dividing the previous 90 days of revenue (excluding dispositions and acquisitions), net of bad debt expense into net patient accounts receivable and multiplying the ratio by 90 days. The Company’s level of DSO and net patient receivables reflect the extended time required to obtain necessary billing documentation, the ongoing efforts to implement a standardized model for reimbursement and the consolidation of billing activities.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $65,000, $66,941,000 and $12,892,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, and for the year ended December 31, 2001, respectively, and has a shareholders’ deficit of $53,381,000 at June 30, 2002. As discussed above, the Company has substantial debt balances, which, pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement become due on December 31, 2002. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.8 million and $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This increase of $0.2 million is primarily due to the change in accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses. These items used cash of $3.6 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This variance is primarily due to 2001 payments of $3.0 million related to the Settlement and income tax payments of $1.7 million related to a federal income tax audit assessment covering the period 1994 through 1998. In addition, the Company’s recognition of a federal income tax receivable related to a carryback of additional operating losses in the quarter ended March 31, 2002 resulted in a decrease of cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $9.6 million and $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Capital expenditures were $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2001, and the sales of assets of centers contributed $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.2 million for same period in 2001. Net cash used in financing activities was $5.7 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 primarily relates to principal payments on long-term debt and capital leases.

Risk Factors

This section summarizes certain risks, among others, that should be considered by stockholders and prospective investors in the Company. The risk factors in this section address certain risks that exist as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q/A and are not intended to describe the risks that existed as of the filing date of the original Form 10-Q.

Bankruptcy Proceeding. American HomePatient, Inc. and 24 of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) on July 31, 2002. As of July 31, 2002, the Debtors are currently operating as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors jointly proposed the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization that, among other terms, proposed paying all creditors of the Debtors in full and allowing the stockholders of the Company to retain their ownership interest. However, there can be no assurance that the proposed plan will be approved with these proposed terms or at all. Furthermore, the Debtors are subject to a number of uncertainties while operating its business during bankruptcy proceedings including maintaining its relationships with vendors, referral sources, business partners, employees, and patients. If the proposed plan is approved, the Company’s future results of operations will be subject to the business risks associated with the Company’s operations and the markets in which it operates as described in “Risk Factors-Business Risks.” See Note 11 “Subsequent Event – Bankruptcy Filing.”

     Business Risks

     Substantial Leverage. The Company maintains a significant amount of debt. Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility totaled approximately $275.4 million (which excludes letters of credit totaling $3.4 million) as of July 31, 2002, the Bankruptcy Filing date. The Lenders have asserted that additional sums are due that will increase their claims to in excess of $280.0 million. If a plan of reorganization is not approved and confirmed that restructures this debt, other outcomes likely would have a material adverse effect on the current shareholders of the Company and also could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business prospects. If the proposed plan is approved, a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations will be dedicated to repaying debt. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, it likely would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The substantial leverage could adversely affect the Company’s ability to grow its business or to withstand adverse economic conditions or competitive pressures. See Note 11 “Subsequent Event – Bankruptcy Filing.”

     Medicare Reimbursement for Oxygen Therapy and Other Services. The Company has been affected by previous cuts in Medicare reimbursement rates for oxygen therapy and other services. Additional reimbursement reductions for oxygen therapy services or other services and products provided by the Company could occur. Reimbursement reductions already implemented have materially adversely affected the Company’s revenues and net income, and any such future reductions could have a similar material adverse effect. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Medicare Reimbursement for Oxygen Therapy Services.”

48


Table of Contents

     Dependence on Reimbursement by Third-Party Payors. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the percentage of the Company’s revenues derived from Medicare, Medicaid and private pay was 52%, 9% and 39%, respectively. The revenues and profitability of the Company may be impacted by the efforts of payors to contain or reduce the costs of health care by lowering reimbursement rates, narrowing the scope of covered services, increasing case management review of services and negotiating reduced contract pricing. Reductions in reimbursement levels under Medicare, Medicaid or private pay programs and any changes in applicable government regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and net income. Changes in the mix of the Company’s patients among Medicare, Medicaid and private pay categories and among different types of private pay sources may also affect the Company’s revenues and profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to maintain its current payor or revenue mix. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.”

     Collectibility of Accounts Receivable. The Company has substantial accounts receivable, as well as DSO of 66 days as of June 30, 2002. No assurances can be given that future bad debt expense will not increase above current operating levels as a result of difficulties associated with the Company’s billing activities and meeting payor documentation requirements and claim submission deadlines. Increased bad debt expense or delays in collecting accounts receivable could have a material adverse effect on cash flows and results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.”

     Government Regulation. The Company is subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local regulation. In addition, new laws and regulations are adopted periodically to regulate products and services in the health care industry. Changes in laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations can have a dramatic effect on operating methods, costs and reimbursement amounts provided by government and other third-party payors. There can be no assurance that the Company is in compliance with all applicable existing laws and regulations or that the Company will be able to comply with any new laws or regulations that may be enacted in the future. Changes in applicable laws, any failure by the Company to comply with existing or future laws, regulations or standards, or discovery of past regulatory noncompliance by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, business or prospects. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Government Regulation.”

     Government Investigations and Federal False Claims Act Cases. In addition to the regulatory initiatives mentioned above, the OIG has received funding to expand and intensify its auditing of the health care industry in an effort to better detect and remedy errors in Medicare and Medicaid billing. The Company has reason to believe a qui tam complaint has been filed against the Company under the False Claims Act alleging violations of law occurring after December 31, 1998. The Company has not seen a complaint in this action, but believes that it contains allegations similar to the ones alleged in the 2001 settlement of another False Claims Act case. The Company believes that this second case will be limited to allegedly improper activities occurring after

49


Table of Contents

December 31, 1998. There can be no assurances as to the final outcome of the pending False Claims Act lawsuits or any lawsuits that may be filed in the future. Possible outcomes include, among other things, the repayment of reimbursements previously received by the Company related to billed claims found to be improper, the imposition of fines or penalties, and the suspension or exclusion of the Company from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other government reimbursement programs. The outcome of any of the pending lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Government Regulation.”

     Liquidity. Effective at the close of business on September 1, 1999, Nasdaq de-listed the Company’s common stock and it is no longer listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market. As a result, between September 1, 1999 and August 8, 2002, trading of the Company’s common stock was conducted on the over-the-counter market (“OTC”) or, on application by broker-dealers, in the NASD’s Electronic Bulletin Board using the Company’s current trading symbol, AHOM.

     Role of Managed Care. As managed care assumes an increasingly significant role in markets in which the Company operates, the Company’s success will, in part, depend on retaining and obtaining profitable managed care contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company will retain or obtain such managed care contracts. In addition, reimbursement rates under managed care contracts are likely to continue to experience downward pressure as a result of payors’ efforts to contain or reduce the costs of health care by increasing case management review of services and negotiating reduced contract pricing. Therefore, even if the Company is successful in retaining and obtaining managed care contracts, unless the Company also decreases its cost for providing services and increases higher margin services, it will experience declining profitability.

     Health Care Initiatives. The health care industry continues to undergo dramatic changes influenced in larger part by federal legislative initiatives. Under the Bush administration, new federal health care initiatives may be launched. For example, adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare, a patient’s bill of rights, providing an array of protections for managed care patients, and changes to Medicare funding are a few of the initiatives currently under discussion. There can be no assurance that these or other federal legislative and regulatory initiatives will not be adopted in the future. It is also possible that proposed federal legislation will include language that provides incentives to further encourage Medicare recipients to shift to Medicare at-risk managed care programs, potentially limiting patient access to, and reimbursement for, products and services provided by the Company. Some states are adopting health care programs and initiatives as a replacement for Medicaid. There can be no assurance that the adoption of such legislation or other changes in the administration or interpretation of government health care programs or initiatives will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     HIPAA Compliance. HIPAA has mandated an extensive set of regulations to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information. The regulations consist of three sets of standards, each with a different date for required compliance: (1) Privacy Standards have a compliance date of April 14, 2003; (2) Transactions and Code Sets Standards required compliance by October 16, 2002 except as extended by one year to October 16, 2003 for providers that filed a compliance extension form by October 15, 2002; and (3) Security Standards

50


Table of Contents

which are yet to be published in final form and therefore have no compliance date. The Company has filed its compliance extension form and is actively pursuing its strategies toward compliance with the final Privacy Standards and Transaction and Code Sets Standards. The Company’s HIPAA compliance plan will require modifications to existing information management systems and physical security mechanisms, and may require additional personnel as well as extensive training of existing personnel, the full cost of which has not yet been determined. The Company cannot predict the impact that final regulations, when fully implemented, will have on its operations.

     Ability to Attract and Retain Management. The Company is highly dependent upon its senior management, and competition for qualified management personnel is intense. Although there has been no material adverse impact to date from the Bankruptcy Filing, the Company’s Bankruptcy Filing and current financial results, among other factors, may limit the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, which in turn could adversely affect profitability.

     Competition. The home health care market is highly fragmented and competition varies significantly from market to market. In the small and mid-size markets in which the Company primarily operates, the majority of its competition comes from local independent operators or hospital-based facilities, whose primary competitive advantage is market familiarity. In the larger markets, regional and national providers account for a significant portion of competition. Some of the Company’s present and potential competitors are significantly larger than the Company and have, or may obtain, greater financial and marketing resources than the Company. In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry in the local markets served by the Company, and it encounters substantial competition from new market entrants. The Company’s competitors may attempt to use the Bankruptcy Filing to convince referral sources and patients to use the Company less frequently or not at all.

     Liability and Adequacy of Insurance. The provision of health care services entails an inherent risk of liability. Certain participants in the home health care industry may be subject to lawsuits that may involve large claims and significant defense costs. It is expected that the Company periodically will be subject to such suits as a result of the nature of its business. The Company currently maintains product and professional liability insurance intended to cover such claims in amounts which management believes are in keeping with industry standards. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain liability insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that claims in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage will not arise. A successful claim against the Company in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon the results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company. Claims against the Company, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to attract patients or to expand its business. In addition, the Company is self-insured for its workers’ compensation insurance and employee health insurance and is at risk for claims up to individual stop loss and aggregate stop loss amounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) and SFAS No. 142.

51


Table of Contents

SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria which intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001. See Note 9 “Adoption of SFAS No. 142” for disclosure of the impact of SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002.

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS No. 143”) effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 requires that a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company does not expect the future adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The Company’s January 1, 2002 adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, “ Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS No. 145”). SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” SFAS No. 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also makes several technical corrections and clarifications to other existing authoritative pronouncements. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of this Statement related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The Company’s adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 145 which were effective for transactions after May 15, 2002 has not had a material effect on its financial statements. The Company is evaluating the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 145 and will adopt the remaining provisions prospectively on January 1, 2003.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”) effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a

52


Table of Contents

Restructuring)”(“Issue 94-3”). The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and Issue 94-3 relates to the requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 146 on its financial statements and will adopt the provisions of this Statement prospectively on January 1, 2003.
