GENERAL HISTORICAL INFORMATION


 Pacer Health Corporation (“Pacer” or the “Company”) is a provider of healthcare services with a primary focus on acquiring and restructuring hospitals.  Specifically, we focus on acquiring financially distressed hospitals, restructuring the operations to ensure financial viability and consolidate them under the Pacer brand name.   We seek to ensure the financial viability of these healthcare facilities by applying our management experience and expertise to restructuring their daily operations.  We also design and implement “best practices” across these facilities to ensure quality medical services are provided to our patients.


Our principal offices are located at 7759 NW 146th Street, Miami Lakes, Florida 33016, and our telephone number is (305) 826-7660.  Our website is www.pacerhealth.com.


On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Knox County, Kentucky whereby the Company will lease all of the assets of Knox County Hospital (“KCH”) for a total lease fee amount equal to $2,000,000.  The Company has also agreed to: (a) operate KCH and fund any operational losses; (b) enter into a cooperative lease agreement to lease KCH and the real estate of KCH for a period of three years at a rate of $1,100,000 per year until June 30, 2007, and effective July 1, 2007 $1,500,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments; (c) continue to provide similar clinical hospital services as currently provided by KCH; and (d) ensure that indigent care is available to the population of Knox County, Kentucky.  The lease agreement is renewable twice at the option of the Company and grants to the Company a purchase option.  The purchase price will be set at the current amount of bond debt as of the date of the execution of the lease agreement less any amount paid under the lease agreement with respect to the KCH purchase.


On December 6, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Holdings of Lafayette, Inc. (“Pacer Sub”), acquired a majority interest in Southpark Community Hospital, L.L.C. (“Southpark”).  Pacer Sub received a 60% equity position in Southpark and the remaining investors of Southpark reduced their equity position to 40% in consideration for an infusion amount up to $2,500,000, the exact amount to be reasonably determined by Pacer Sub as necessary to sustain the operations of Southpark.  Pacer Sub also assumed a prorated share of the outstanding liabilities and also assumed the position of guarantor, equal to its percentage of ownership, on all notes.  Pacer Sub has also agreed to reimburse certain investors who made principal and interest payments on certain third party loans on behalf of Southpark.


On September 1, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation of Georgia, completed its asset purchase agreement with the Greene County Hospital Authority to acquire certain identifiable assets and assume certain liabilities used in the operation of Minnie G. Boswell Memorial Hospital (the “MGBMH”).  The total purchase amount was $1,108,676.  


On March 22, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Camelot Specialty Hospital of Cameron, LLC (“Camelot”) to acquire certain assets used in the operation of South Cameron Memorial Hospital (“SCMH”).  As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of its common stock having a fair value of $1,100,000.  


On June 26, 2003, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was acquired by Pacer Health Corporation (formerly known as INFe, Inc.) in a transaction accounted for as a recapitalization of Pacer Health Services, Inc.  For accounting purposes, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was the acquirer because the former stockholders’ of Pacer Health Services, Inc. received the larger portion of the common stockholder interests and voting rights in the combined enterprise when compared to the common stockholder interests and voting rights retained by the pre-merger stockholders of Pacer Health Corporation (formerly known as INFe, Inc.).  As a result of the foregoing, Pacer





Health Services, Inc. was re-capitalized to reflect the authorized stock of the legal parent, Pacer Health Corporation (formerly known as INFe, Inc.).  Since Pacer Health Services, Inc. was the acquirer, for accounting purposes, Pacer’s November fiscal year end had been changed to Pacer Health Services, Inc.’s December 31, fiscal year end.  


No material part of our revenues were derived outside of the United States in fiscal year 2005, and during said year, we had no material assets outside of the United States.  


Industry Overview


The Healthcare Industry’s Size and Opportunity


Size.  The domestic healthcare industry is a large and growing industry.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) released a report on February 22, 2006 projecting a 7.3% increase in health care spending in 2006, surpassing $2 trillion.  As a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), health care spending is expected to continue to grow, reaching 16.2% in 2005, up from 16.0% in 2004.  By 2015, health care spending in the U.S. is projected to reach $4.0 trillion and 20.0% of GDP.  


Opportunity to Create a Regional Network.  We believe that the domestic healthcare industry presents opportunities for innovation, differentiation and the creation of regional networks due to the following industry characteristics:


Highly Fragmented.  The domestic healthcare industry market is highly fragmented and made up of many economically independent entities. We believe that the growing societal demands for quality healthcare services and for greater administrative efficiency has resulted in a need for reducing the various typical practices among the disparate healthcare entities.  


Opportunity to Grow the Market.  We believe the healthcare industry also presents opportunities to expand the range of healthcare services we can provide to our patients.  We believe the following several factors will lead to this opportunity.  


-

Increased Per Capita Spending.  Annual healthcare spending in the United States in 2003 was $5,635 per and is expected to increase to over $11,000 by 2014.


-

Future Favorable Demographics.  We believe that favorable demographics should generate additional industry growth.  According to the United States Census Bureau, the older population is projected to double from 36 million in 2003 to 72 million in 2030, and to increase from 12% to 20% of the population in the same time frame.  The population aged 85 and older is also projected to double, from 4.7 million in 2003 to 9.6 million in 2030, and to double again to 20.9 million in 2050.



BUSINESS STRATEGY


Our goal is to become a regional provider of hospital services.  We intend to accomplish this by targeting and acquiring financially distressed hospitals and restructuring the operations to attempt to achieve financial viability.  We believe that the acquisition of financially distressed facilities at a significant discount and its subsequent turnaround will allow us to increase significantly the value of the facilities.  We intend to acquire these facilities through a combination of capital infusion, traditional financing and funds from current operations.  Key elements of our strategy include:


Expand Our Healthcare Facilities Base.  We plan to expand our healthcare operations in order to increase our market share in existing markets and/or acquire healthcare facilities in new markets where we believe the opportunity exists.  Through March 31, 2006, we have acquired a general acute care hospital in Cameron, LA; a psychiatric hospital in Lake Charles, LA; a general acute care hospital in Greensboro, GA; a skilled nursing facility in Greensboro, GA; a general acute care hospital in Lafayette, LA; and we are finalizing our acquisition of a hospital in Barbourville, KY.  Our strategy is to develop a regional network of hospitals in numerous markets.


Enhance the Operational Efficiencies.   We intend to create an inter-entity network of our healthcare facilities that provides high quality healthcare services as well as greater administrative efficiency by implementing “best practices.”  Through our inter-entity network, we believe we can design and share “best practices” developed and acquired in certain entities and distribute and implement it efficiently among all our entities.


Improve Expense Management.  We intend to reduce or eliminate duplicate resources that are unnecessary.  We also intend to review the cost structure of any acquisition to reduce or eliminate unnecessary expenses.  Furthermore, we intend to implement “best practices” across all of our entities in order to minimize expenses while increasing the value we can deliver to our patients and providers.







OPERATIONS  


On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Knox County, Kentucky whereby the Company shall lease all of the assets of KCH (the for a total lease fee amount equal to $2,000,000.  The Company has also agreed to: (a) operate KCH and fund any operational losses; (b) enter into a cooperative lease agreement to lease KCH and the real estate of KCH for a period of three years at a rate of $1,100,000 per year until June 30, 2007, and effective July 1, 2007 $1,500,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments; (c) continue to provide similar clinical hospital services as currently provided by KCH; and (d) ensure that indigent care is available to the population of Knox County, Kentucky.  The lease agreement shall be renewable twice at the option of the Company and will grant to the Company a purchase option.  The purchase price will be set at the current amount of bond debt as of the date of the execution of the lease agreement less any amount paid under the lease agreement with respect to the Hospital purchase.


On December 6, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Holdings of Lafayette, Inc. (“Pacer Sub”) acquired a majority interest in Southpark.  Pacer Sub received a 60% equity position in Southpark and the remaining investors of Southpark reduced their equity position to 40% in consideration for an infusion amount up to $2,500,000, the exact amount to be reasonably determined by the Pacer Sub as necessary to sustain the operations of Southpark.  Pacer Sub also assumed a prorated share of the outstanding liabilities and also assumed the position of guarantor, equal to its percentage of ownership, on all notes.  Pacer Sub has also agreed to reimburse certain investors who made principal and interest payments on certain third party loans on behalf of Southpark.


On September 1, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation of Georgia, completed its asset purchase agreement with the Greene County Hospital Authority to acquire certain identifiable assets and assume certain liabilities used in the operation of MGBMH.  The total purchase amount was $1,108,676.  


On March 22, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Camelot to acquire certain assets used in the operation of SCMH.  As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of its common stock having a fair value of $1,100,000.  


We intend to expand our regional network through the acquisition of additional financially distressed hospitals.  In most cases, we believe that our initial market entry will be through the acquisition of key existing healthcare facilities in a market.  We intend to retain the management of well-run facilities to benefit from their knowledge and experience.  Smaller facilities may also be acquired in non-strategic locations.  We believe that by acquiring existing facilities, we will build our network in a cost-efficient manner.


COMPETITION


Our facilities located in Cameron, Louisiana and Greensboro, Georgia face minimal competition while our facilities located in Lake Charles, Louisiana and Lafayette, Louisiana have competition from various other treatment centers, private physician practices, and hospitals.  We expect that any future acquisition will face similar competition from similar healthcare facilities.  To the extent we are unable to compete successfully against our existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.  While we believe we are and will compete effectively within the healthcare industry, additional competitors, currently and in the future, have or may enter the industry and effectively compete against us.


We are in the process of registering a variety of service marks, trademarks and trade names for use in our business, including: “Pacer Healthcare”, “Pacer Health”, and “Pacer Hospital”.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


We regard our intellectual property and brand awareness to be an important factor in the marketing of our company in its growth stage.  We are not aware of any facts that would negatively impact our continuing use of any of our service marks, trademarks or trade names.


EMPLOYEES


On December 31, 2005, we employed over 300 full-time employees.  We also employed various doctors as independent contractors to perform the healthcare services at all of our facilities.  None of our employees are represented by unions.  We consider our employee relations to be in good standing.  The majority of our physicians are currently employed under exclusive contracts with the Company.  Furthermore, certain key members of management are also employed under exclusive contracts which include non-compete covenants.   


REGULATION


We are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations that are applicable to various healthcare facilities.  Under these laws, healthcare facilities must meet various requirements for licensure.  Furthermore, healthcare facilities must meet extensive





requirements to ensure continued participation in government programs, including but not limited to Medicare and Medicaid.  Failure to comply with these requirements can result in loss of licensure, loss of participation in government programs, loss of payments, as well as civil and criminal sanctions.  New laws and regulations may increase our cost of compliance and doing business and may have a material adverse effect on our business.  We believe we are in compliance with current federal, state and local laws and regulations.


Fraud and Abuse Laws. Our participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs is heavily regulated by federal statute and regulation.  Under these regulations, if a healthcare facility fails to comply substantially with the numerous federal laws governing a facility’s activities, the facility’s participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs may be terminated and/or civil or criminal penalties may be imposed.  For example, a healthcare facility may lose its ability to participate in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs if it performs any of the following acts:


-

Making claims to Medicare and/or Medicaid for services not provided or misrepresenting actual services provided in order to obtain higher payments;

-

Paying money to induce the referral of patients or purchase of items or services where such items or services are reimbursable under a federal or state health program; or

-

Failing to provide appropriate emergency medical screening services to any individual who comes to a healthcare facility’s campus or otherwise failing to properly treat and transfer emergency patients.


The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) broadened the scope of the fraud and abuse laws by adding several criminal statutes that are not related to the receipt of payments from a federal healthcare program.  HIPAA created civil penalties for proscribed conduct, including, but not limited to, upcoding and billing for medically unnecessary goods or services.  It also established new enforcement mechanisms to combat fraud and abuse.  These mechanisms include a “bounty” system whereby a portion of the payments recovered is returned to the government agencies, as well as a “whistleblower” program.  HIPAA also expanded the categories of persons that may be excluded from participation in federal and state healthcare programs.


A provision of the Social Security Act, known as the “anti-kickback” or “fraud and abuse” statute, prohibits the payment, receipt, offer or solicitation of money with the intent of generating referrals or orders for services or items covered by a federal or state healthcare program.  Violations of this statute are punishable by criminal and civil fines, exclusion from federal and state healthcare programs, and damages up to three-times the total dollar amount involved.


The Office of Inspector General is authorized to publish regulations outlining activities and business relationships that would be deemed not to violate the anti-kickback statute.  These regulations are known as the “safe harbor” regulations.  The safe harbor regulations do not make conduct illegal, but rather delineate standards that, if complied with, protect conduct that might otherwise be deemed in violation of the anti-kickback statute.


The Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for identifying fraud and abuse activities in government programs. In order to fulfill its duties, the Office of Inspector General performs audits, investigations and inspections.  In addition, it provides guidance to healthcare providers by identifying types of activities that could violate the anti-kickback statute.  The Office of Inspector General has identified the following incentive arrangements as potential violations:


-

payment of any incentive by a healthcare facility each time a physician refers a patient to the facility;

-

use of free or significantly discounted office space or equipment for physicians in facilities usually located close to the healthcare facility;

-

provision of free or significantly discounted billing, nursing or other staff services;

-

free training for a physician’s office staff, including management and laboratory technique training;

-

guarantees which provide that if the physician’s income fails to reach a predetermined level, the healthcare facility will pay any portion of the remainder;

-

low-interest or interest-free loans, or loans which may be forgiven if a physician refers patients to the healthcare facility;

-

payment of the costs of a physician’s travel and expenses for conferences;

-

payment of services which require few, if any, substantive duties by the physician or which are in excess of the fair market value of the services rendered; or

-

purchasing goods or services from physicians at prices in excess of their fair market value.


We have a variety of financial relationships with physicians who may refer patients to our hospitals.  Physicians may also own our stock.  We also have contracts with physicians providing for a variety of financial arrangements, including leases, independent contractor agreements and professional service agreements.  


We intend to use our best efforts to structure each of our arrangements, especially each of our business arrangements with physicians, to fit as closely as possible to an applicable safe harbor.  However, all of our business arrangements may not fit wholly within the safe harbors and thus we cannot guarantee that these arrangements will not be scrutinized by government authorities or, if scrutinized, that





they will be determined to be in compliance with the anti-kickback statute or other applicable laws.  The failure of a particular arrangement to comply with the safe harbor regulations does not mean that the arrangement violates the anti-kickback statute.  We believe that all of our business arrangements are substantially in compliance with the anti-kickback statute. If we violate the anti-kickback statute, we could be subject to criminal and civil penalties and/or possible exclusion from participating in Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental healthcare programs.


The Social Security Act also includes a provision commonly known as the “Stark Law.”  This law prohibits physicians from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to selected types of healthcare facilities in which they or any of their immediate family members have ownership or other financial interests.  These types of referrals are commonly known as “self-referrals.”  Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include civil monetary penalties, assessments equal to twice the dollar value of each service and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs.  There are ownership and compensation arrangement exceptions to the self-referral prohibition.  One exception allows a physician to make a referral to a healthcare facility if the physician owns an interest in the entire healthcare facility, as opposed to an ownership interest in a department of the healthcare facility.  Another exception allows a physician to refer patients to a healthcare facility in which the physician has an ownership interest if the facility is located in a rural area, as defined in the statute.  There are also exceptions for many of the customary financial arrangements between physicians and providers, including employment contracts, leases and recruitment agreements.  The federal government released regulations interpreting some, but not all, of the provisions included in the Stark Law in January 2002, and the government has said it intends to release additional regulations in the future that will provide a full interpretation of this law.  We have structured our financial arrangements with physicians to comply with the statutory exceptions included in the Stark Law and subsequent regulations in its current form.  However, the future issuance of regulations may interpret provisions of the Stark Law in a manner different from the manner in which we have currently interpreted them.  We cannot predict the final form that these regulations will take or the effect those regulations will have on us, including any possible restructuring of our existing relationships with physicians.


Many states in which we intend to operate in also have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws similar to the Stark Law.  Some of these state laws apply even if the payment for care does not come from the government.  These statutes typically provide for criminal and civil penalties as remedies as well as loss of licensure.  While there is little precedent for the interpretation or enforcement of these state laws, we have attempted to structure our financial relationships with physicians and others in light of these laws.  However, if a state determines that we have violated such a law, we could be subject to criminal and civil penalties in addition to possible licensure revocation.


Corporate Practice of Medicine and Fee-Splitting.  Some states have laws that prohibit unlicensed persons or business entities, including corporations or business organizations that own healthcare facilities, from employing physicians.  Some states also have adopted laws that prohibit direct or indirect payments or fee-splitting arrangements between physicians and unlicensed persons or business entities.  Possible sanctions for violations of these restrictions include loss of a physician’s license, civil and criminal penalties and rescission of business arrangements.  These laws vary from state to state, are often vague and have seldom been interpreted by the courts or regulatory agencies.  We structure our arrangements with healthcare providers to comply with the relevant state law.  However, we cannot assure you that governmental officials charged with the responsibility for enforcing these laws will not assert that we, or transactions in which we are or may be involved, are in violation of these laws.  These laws may also be interpreted in a manner inconsistent with our current interpretations by the various state courts.


Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.  Some of our current facilities and potential acquisitions may be subject to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (“EMTALA”).  The EMTALA imposes requirements as to the care that must be provided to anyone who comes to healthcare facilities providing emergency medical services seeking care before they may be transferred to another facility or otherwise denied care.  This federal law requires any healthcare facility that participates in the Medicare program to conduct an appropriate medical screening examination of every person who is presented to the facility’s emergency department for treatment and, if the patient is suffering from an emergency medical condition, to either stabilize that condition or make an appropriate transfer of the patient to a facility that can handle the condition.  The obligation to screen and stabilize emergency medical conditions exists regardless of a patient’s ability to pay for treatment.  Sanctions for failing to fulfill these requirements include exclusion from participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs as well as civil monetary penalties.  In addition, the law creates private civil remedies that enable an individual who suffers personal harm as a direct result of a violation of the law to sue the offending facility for damages and equitable relief.  A healthcare facility that suffers a financial loss as a direct result of another participating facility's violation of the law also has a similar right.  Although we believe that our practices are in compliance with the law, we can give no assurance that governmental officials responsible for enforcing the law or others will not assert we are in violation of these laws.  


Federal False Claims Act.  Another trend in healthcare litigation is the use of the federal False Claims Act.  The federal False Claims Act prohibits providers from knowingly submitting false claims for payment to the federal government.  This law has been used not only by the federal government, but also by individuals who bring an action on behalf of the government under the law’s “qui tam” or “whistleblower” provisions.  When a private party brings a qui tam action under the federal False Claims Act, the defendant will generally not be aware of the lawsuit until the government makes a determination whether it will intervene and take a lead in the litigation.






Civil liability under the federal False Claims Act can be up to three-times the actual damages sustained by the government plus civil penalties for each separate false claim.  There are many potential bases for liability under the federal False Claims Act.  Although liability under the federal False Claims Act arises when an entity knowingly submits a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government, the federal False Claims Act defines the term “knowingly” broadly.  Although simple negligence generally will not give rise to liability under the federal False Claims Act, submitting a claim with reckless disregard to its truth or falsity can constitute knowingly submitting a false claim.  


Healthcare Reform.  The healthcare industry continues to attract much legislative interest and public attention.  In recent years, an increasing number of legislative proposals have been introduced or proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures that would effect major changes in the healthcare system.  Proposals that have been considered include cost controls on hospitals, insurance market reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance to small businesses and mandatory health insurance coverage for employees.  The costs of implementing some of these proposals would be financed, in part, by reductions in payments to healthcare providers under Medicare, Medicaid and other government programs.  We cannot predict the course of future healthcare legislation or other changes in the administration or interpretation of governmental healthcare programs and the effect that any legislation, interpretation, or change may have on us.


Conversion Legislation.  Many states, including those where we may in the future acquire healthcare facilities, have adopted legislation regarding the sale or other disposition of hospitals operated by not-for-profit entities.  In other states that do not have specific legislation, the attorneys general have demonstrated an interest in these transactions under their general obligations to protect charitable assets from waste.  These legislative and administrative efforts primarily focus on the appropriate valuation of the assets divested and the use of the proceeds of the sale by the not-for-profit seller.  These review processes can add additional time to the closing of a future healthcare facility acquisition.  There can be no assurance, however, that future actions on the by state legislators or attorneys general will not seriously delay or even prevent our ability to acquire healthcare facilities.  If these activities are widespread, they could have a negative impact on our ability to acquire additional hospitals.  


Certificates of Need.  The acquisition or construction of new facilities and the addition of new services and expensive equipment at our facility may be subject to state “certificate of need” laws that require prior approval by state regulatory agencies.  These laws generally require that a state agency determine the public need and give approval prior to the acquisition or construction of facilities or the addition of new services.  If we fail to obtain necessary state approval, we will not be able to expand our facility, complete acquisitions or add new services.  Violation of these state laws may result in the imposition of civil sanctions or the revocation of the facility’s licenses.


Privacy and Security Requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.  The Administrative Simplification Provisions of HIPAA require the use of uniform electronic data standards for the exchange of information between two parties to carry out financial and administrative activities related to healthcare, including healthcare claims and payment transactions submitted or received electronically.  These provisions are intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare industry by enabling the efficient electronic transmission of certain health information.  On August 17, 2000, final regulations were published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (a division of the Department of Health and Human Services) establishing electronic data transmission standards that all healthcare providers must use when submitting or receiving certain healthcare transactions electronically.  Compliance with these regulations was required by October 16, 2003.  We are currently substantially in compliance with these regulations.  We cannot predict with accuracy the impact that future interpretation of these regulations will have on us.


The Administrative Simplification Provisions also require the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to adopt standards to protect the security and privacy of health-related information.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services promulgated final regulations containing security standards on February 20, 2003, but compliance with these regulations is not required until April 21, 2005.  These final security regulations would require healthcare providers to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of electronically received, maintained or transmitted individually identifiable health-related information.  In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released final regulations containing privacy standards in December 2000.  These privacy regulations became effective April 14, 2001, and compliance with these regulations was required by April 14, 2003.  In addition, on August 14, 2002, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services made additional changes to the privacy regulations to remove consent requirements which were anticipated to hinder access to care as well as to clarify other provisions related to oral communications, parental access to their children’s records and to prohibit certain marketing without patient authorization.  The privacy regulations, including modifications, will extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health-related information and a patient’s rights to his or her health information.  The security regulations and the privacy regulations could impose significant costs on our current facilities and future acquisitions in order to comply with these standards.  We cannot predict with accuracy the impact that these final regulations, when fully implemented, will have on us.  If we violate these provisions of HIPAA, we can be subject to monetary fines, penalties and criminal sanctions.







PAYMENT


Medicare.  Under the Medicare program, healthcare facilities are paid for inpatient and outpatient services performed by them.


Payments for inpatient acute services are generally made pursuant to a prospective payment system (“PPS”). Under PPS, healthcare facilities are paid a prospectively determined amount for each discharge based on the patient’s diagnosis.  Specifically, each discharge is assigned to a diagnosis related group, commonly known as a “DRG,” based on the patient’s condition and treatment during the relevant inpatient stay.  This assignment also affects the prospectively determined capital rate paid with each DRG.  Each DRG is assigned a payment rate that is prospectively set using national average costs per case for treating a patient for a particular diagnosis.  DRG payments do not consider the actual costs incurred by a facility in providing a particular inpatient service.  However, DRG and capital payments are adjusted by a predetermined geographic adjustment factor assigned to the geographic area in which the healthcare facility is located.  In addition to DRG and capital payments, healthcare facilities may qualify for “outlier” payments when the relevant patient’s treatment costs exceed a specified threshold.  Certain healthcare facilities may qualify for disproportionate share payments when their percentage of low-income patients exceeds specified thresholds.


The DRG rates are adjusted by an update factor each federal fiscal year, which begins on October 1.  The index used to adjust the DRG rates gives consideration to the inflation experienced in purchasing goods and services.  For several years, however, the percentage increases in the DRG payments have been lower than the projected increase in the costs of goods and services purchased by healthcare facilities.  DRG rate increases were 3.4% for federal fiscal year 2001, 2.75% for federal fiscal year 2002, 2.95% for federal fiscal year 2003, 3.4% for federal fiscal year 2004, 3.3% for federal fiscal year 2005 and 3.7% for federal fiscal year 2006.  


As a result of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, hospitals are allowed to receive full market basket updates for federal fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007 if hospitals provide the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services specific data relating to the quality of services provided.  The Act also made a permanent increase in the base DRG payment rate (1.6%) for rural hospitals and urban hospitals in smaller metropolitan areas. In addition, the Act provided for payment relief to the wage index component of the base DRG rate.  As of October 1, 2004, the Act lowered the percentage of the DRG subject to a wage adjustment from 71% to 62% for hospitals in areas with a wage index below the national average.


Outpatient services have traditionally been paid at the lower of customary charges or on a reasonable cost basis.  The Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (the “’99 BBRA”) established a PPS for outpatient services that commenced on August 1, 2000. Outpatient services are assigned ambulatory payment classifications, which are readjusted no less than annually.


The ’99 BBRA eliminated the anticipated average reduction of 5.7% for various Medicare outpatient payments under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the “’97 BBRA”).  Under the ’99 BBRA, outpatient payment reductions for non-urban healthcare facilities with 100 beds or less were mitigated through a “hold harmless” provision until December 31, 2003.  Payment reductions under Medicare outpatient PPS of non-urban hospitals with greater than 100 beds and urban healthcare facilities will be mitigated through a corridor reimbursement approach, where a percentage of such reductions were reimbursed through December 31, 2003.


Prior to the implementation of the prospective payment systems, payments to exempt hospitals and units, such as inpatient psychiatric, rehabilitation, mandated swing bed facilities and skilled nursing services, were based upon reasonable costs, subject to a cost per discharge target and maintenance of minimum levels of care.  The ’97 BBRA established a PPS for Medicare skilled nursing facilities and swing bed facilities that commenced in July 1998 and was implemented progressively through June 2003.  Under the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000, the skilled nursing facility PPS was increased to the skilled nursing facility market basket minus 0.5% for fiscal years 2002 and 2003.  BIPA also required rates for certain categories to be increased by 6.7% effective April 1, 2001, which is still in effect.  The ’99 BBRA provided for a 20% increase for certain categories effective April 1, 2000, which also is still in effect.


The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 mandated a PPS for inpatient rehabilitation hospital services.  A PPS system for Medicare inpatient rehabilitation services is being phased in over two years beginning January 1, 2002.  The limits are updated annually through a market basket index.


On November 15, 2004, CMS published a final regulation to implement a PPS for inpatient hospital services furnished in psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric units of general, acute care hospitals and critical access hospitals. The new prospective payment system replaced the cost-based system for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005.  PPS is being implemented over a three-year transition period with full payment under PPS to begin in the fourth year.  CMS estimates that PPS rates will increase an average of 4.2% effective July 1, 2006.


Furthermore, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (“MMA”), offers a prescription drug benefit for Medicare beneficiaries and also provides a number of benefits to hospitals, particularly rural hospitals.






Medicaid.  Most state Medicaid payments are made under a PPS or under programs that negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals.  Medicaid is currently funded jointly by state and federal government.  The federal government and many states are currently considering significantly reducing Medicaid funding, while at the same time expanding Medicaid benefits.  Effective April 1, 2002, the federal government reduced the upper payment limits of Medicaid reimbursements made to the states. This could adversely affect future levels of Medicaid payments received by our healthcare facilities.


Annual Cost Reports.  Healthcare facilities participating in the Medicare and some Medicaid programs, whether paid on a reasonable cost basis or under a PPS, are required to meet certain financial reporting requirements.  Federal and, where applicable, state regulations require submission of annual cost reports identifying medical costs and expenses associated with the services provided by each hospital to Medicare beneficiaries and Medicaid recipients.


Annual cost reports required under the Medicare and some Medicaid programs are subject to routine governmental audits.  These audits may result in adjustments to the amounts ultimately determined to be due to the healthcare facilities under these reimbursement programs.  Finalization of these audits often takes several years.  Providers can appeal any final determination made in connection with an audit.


Commercial Insurance.  Our healthcare facility provides services to individuals covered by private healthcare insurance.  Private insurance carriers pay our facility or in some cases reimburse their policyholders based on the facility’s established charges and the coverage provided in the insurance policy.  Commercial insurers are trying to limit the payments for healthcare services by negotiating discounts.  Reductions in payments for services provided by our facility to individuals covered by commercial insurers could adversely affect us.


RISK FACTORS


Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and the prevailing market prices and performance of our common stock may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the matters discussed below.


Our Potential Inability to Implement Our Growth Strategy May Negatively Affect Our Operations.  


Our business strategy focuses on growing revenue and operations primarily through acquisitions of various healthcare entities.  The success of our growth strategy will depend on a number of factors including our ability to:


-

assess the value, strengths and weaknesses of acquisition candidates;

-

evaluate the costs and projected returns of integrating our operations;

-

promptly and successfully integrate acquired businesses with existing operations; and

-

obtain financing to support this growth.


If we fail to successfully implement our growth strategy, our operations may negatively be impacted and therefore our growth would be hampered.


We May Not Be Able To Identify Suitable Acquisition Candidates For Our Business.  


If we are not able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or if acquisitions of suitable candidates are prohibitively expensive, we may be forced to alter our growth strategy.  Our growth strategy may affect short-term cash flow and net income as we increase our indebtedness and incur additional expenses.  As a result, our operating results may fluctuate and our growth strategy may not result in improving our profitability.  If we fail to implement our growth strategy successfully, the market price of our common stock may decline.  


The Demands on Our Resources Due to Potential Growth May Negatively Impact our Operations.  


Our anticipated growth could place significant demands on our managerial, operational and financial resources.  These demands are due to our plans to:


-

acquire and integrate healthcare facilities;

-

increase the number of our employees;

-

expand the scope of our operating and financial systems;

-

broaden the geographic area of our operations;

-

increase the complexity of our operations;

-

increase the level of responsibility of management personnel; and

-

continue to train and manage our employee base.






Our managerial, operational and financial resources, now and in the future, may not be adequate to meet the demands resulting from our expected growth.  As a result of these demands, our operations may suffer.


Our Financial Results May Not Be Indicative of Future Results.  


The financial statements in this Report may not be indicative of our future financial condition, operating results, growth trends or prospects.   Our prospects must be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of a new growth strategy.  Our strategy of building a regional network of healthcare facilities may not lead to growth, profitability or increased market prices for our common stock.


We Need to Improve Our Information Systems or Our Operations Would Suffer.  


We will need to make improvements to our information system and integrate information systems from any acquisition we make in the future.  We also need to hire more accounting and information systems personnel.  We may experience delays, disruptions and unanticipated expenses in implementing, integrating and operating our information systems.  Failure to fully integrate and enhance our current and future information system or hire additional personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and growth prospects.


We May Have Difficulties Integrating Acquired Businesses with Our Company which Could Harm Our Operations.  


Until we complete and install our information system, we will use and depend upon the information and operating systems of our acquired entities.  We may not be able to efficiently combine our operations with those we currently have without encountering difficulties.  These difficulties could result from having different and potentially incompatible operating practices, computers or other information systems.  By consolidating personnel with different business backgrounds and corporate cultures into one company, we may experience additional difficulties.  As a result, we may not achieve anticipated cost savings and operating efficiencies and we may have difficulties managing, operating and integrating our businesses.  


We May Incur Unexpected Liabilities When We Acquire Businesses.  


During the acquisition process, we may not discover some of the liabilities of the businesses we acquire.  These liabilities may result from a prior owner’s non-compliance with applicable federal, state or local laws.  For example, we may be liable for the prior owner’s failure to pay taxes or comply with environmental regulations.  Environmental liabilities could arise regardless of whether we own or lease our properties.  While we will try to minimize our potential exposure by conducting investigations during the acquisition process, we will not be able to identify all existing or potential liabilities.  



Without Additional Capital We Will Note Be Able to Grow.  


Our ability to remain competitive, sustain our expected growth and expand our operations largely depends on our access to capital.  We anticipate making numerous acquisitions of healthcare facilities, which will require capital for the acquisition and ongoing expenditures.  We also expect to make expenditures to continue integrating the acquired healthcare facilities with our existing facilities.  In addition, to execute our growth strategy and meet our capital needs, we plan to issue additional equity securities as part of the purchase price of future acquisitions, which may have a dilutive effect on the interests of out shareholders.  Additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us.  Our failure to obtain sufficient additional capital could curtail or alter our growth strategy or delay capital expenditures.


Our Revenues May Decline if Federal or State Medicare or Medicaid Programs or Commercial Insurance Providers Reduce Our Reimbursements.  


In recent years, federal and state governments made significant changes in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  Congress and some state legislators have introduced an increasing number of proposals to make major changes in the healthcare system.  Medicare reform is again expected to be considered by Congress in the near future.  Accordingly, future federal and state legislation may further reduce the payments we receive for our services.  Further, a number of states have incurred budget deficits and adopted legislation designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures and to provide universal coverage and additional coverage to their residents.  Some states propose to impose additional taxes on healthcare facilities to help finance or expand the various state Medicaid systems.  Furthermore, insurance companies and other third parties from whom we receive payment for our services have increasingly attempted to control healthcare costs by requiring healthcare facilities to discount their fees in exchange for preferred participation in their benefit plans.  We believe this trend may continue and may reduce the payments we receive for our services.  As a result, our revenue could decrease.






We May Be Subject to Allegations That We Failed to Comply With Governmental Regulation, which Could Result in Significant Expenses or Penalties.  


We are subject to many laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels.  These laws and regulations require us to meet various requirements, including those relating to the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, billing and cost reports, payment for services and supplies, maintenance of adequate records, privacy, compliance with building codes and environmental protection.  These laws may also contain safe harbor provisions that describe some of the conduct and business relationships that are immune from prosecution. Some of our business arrangements may not fall within the safe harbors. This does not automatically render our arrangements illegal.  However, we may be subject to scrutiny by enforcement authorities.  If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.


We May Be Subject to Actions Brought by Individuals on the Government’s Behalf Under the False Claims Act’s “Qui Tam” Provisions.  


The “Qui Tam” or “whistleblower” provisions allow private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the federal government.  Defendants determined to be liable under the False Claims Act may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim.  There are many potential bases for liability under the False Claims Act.  Liability often arises when an entity knowingly submits a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government.  The False Claims Act defines the term “knowingly” broadly.  Although simple negligence will not give rise to liability under the False Claims Act, submitting a claim with reckless disregard to its truth or falsity constitutes a “knowing” submission under the False Claims Act and, therefore, will qualify for liability.  In some cases, whistleblowers or the federal government have taken the position that providers who allegedly have violated other statutes, such as the anti-kickback statute and the Stark Law, have thereby submitted false claims under the False Claims Act.  In addition, a number of states have adopted their own false claims provisions as well as their own whistleblower provisions whereby a private party may file a civil lawsuit in state court.  These types of claims could adversely affect our operations, even if ultimately proven to be without merit, as time and expense would be incurred to defend such actions.


If We Become Subject to Malpractice and Related Legal Claims, We Could Be Required to Pay Significant Damages, Which May Not Be Covered By Insurance.  


We may be subject to medical malpractice lawsuits and other claims.  We expect to maintain liability insurance in amounts that we believe are appropriate for our operations to mitigate such risk.  Accordingly, we believe we currently have adequate insurance coverage.  However, it is possible that there may be successful claims against us in the future for amounts which exceed those set forth in the coverage amounts.  This could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.  Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage with acceptable deductible amounts at a reasonable cost.


If We Fail to Effectively Recruit and Retain Physicians, Nurses and Medical Technicians, Our Ability to Deliver Healthcare Services Efficiently Will Suffer.   


Our success, in part, depends on the number and quality of physicians on our staff as well as the maintenance of good relations with these physicians.  We generally do not employ physicians.  Furthermore, there is a shortage of specialty care physicians, nurses and certain medical technicians.  Our healthcare facilities may be forced to hire expensive contract personnel if they are unable to recruit and retain full-time employees. The shortage of specialty care physicians, nurses and medical technicians may affect our ability to deliver healthcare services efficiently.


Our Revenue is Concentrated Geographically which Subjects the Company to Regional Risks.  


Our revenue is heavily concentrated in Louisiana and Georgia, which makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory and economic changes in those states.  Our revenue primarily consists of reimbursements from private insurance companies, Medicare and the state Medicaid programs.  Legislation and financial difficulties faced by various states can reduce our reimbursement.  We cannot predict with accuracy which legislation will pass.  However, such legislation, if passed, and financial difficulties of the various state Medicaid programs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and growth prospects.


We May Have Difficulty Acquiring Healthcare Facilities on Favorable Terms.  


The main element of our business strategy is expansion through the acquisition of healthcare facilities.  We may face significant competition to acquire strategic healthcare facilities at terms favorable to us.  We may also incur or assume indebtedness as a result of the consummation of any acquisition.  Our failure to acquire strategic healthcare facilities consistent with our growth plan could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and growth prospects.






We May Have Difficulty Acquiring Healthcare Facilities Due to Governmental Regulations.


Many states have adopted legislation regarding the sale or other disposition of hospitals operated by not-for-profit entities.  In other states that do not have such legislation, the attorneys general have demonstrated an interest in these transactions under their general obligations to protect charitable assets.  These legislative and administrative efforts primarily focus on the appropriate valuation of the assets divested and the use of the proceeds of the sale by the not-for-profit seller.  These reviews and, in some instances, approval processes can add additional time to the closing of a not-for-profit hospital acquisition.  Future actions by state legislators or attorneys general may seriously delay or even prevent our ability to acquire certain hospitals.


Certificate of Need Laws and Licensing Regulations May Prohibit or Limit Any Future Expansion By Us In Some States.  


Some states require prior approval for the purchase, construction and expansion of healthcare facilities, based on a state’s determination of need for additional or expanded healthcare facilities or services.  We may not be able to obtain certificates of need required for expansion activities in the future.  If we fail to obtain any required certificate of need or licenses, our ability to operate or expand could be impaired.


We May Experience Significant Compliance Issues Under HIPAA’S Transaction, Privacy and Security Requirements.


Federal regulations issued pursuant to HIPAA contain, among other measures, provisions that require us to implement very significant and potentially expensive new computer systems, employee training programs and business procedures. The federal regulations are intended to encourage electronic commerce in the healthcare industry.


Among other things, HIPAA requires healthcare facilities to use standard data formats and code sets established by the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) when electronically transmitting information in connection with several transactions, including health claims and equivalent encounter information, health care payment and remittance advice and health claim status.  HIPAA also requires DHHS to issue regulations establishing standard unique health identifiers for individuals, employers, health plans and health care providers to be used in connection with the standard electronic transactions.  All healthcare providers will be required to obtain a new National Provider Identifier (“NPI”) to be used in standard transactions instead of other numerical identifiers beginning no later than May 23, 2007; healthcare providers may begin applying for NPIs on May 23, 2005.  We cannot predict whether our facilities may experience payment delays during the transition to the new identifier. Our facilities have fully implemented use of the Employer Identification Number as the standard unique health identifier for employers.  DHHS has not yet issued proposed rules that establish the standard for unique health identifiers for health plans or individuals.  Once these regulations are issued in final form, we expect to have approximately two years to become fully compliant, but cannot predict the impact of such changes at this time.


HIPAA regulations also require our facilities to comply with standards to protect the confidentiality, availability and integrity of patient health information, by establishing and maintaining reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and the availability of electronic health and related financial information.  The security standards were designed to protect electronic information against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the information and to protect the information against unauthorized use or disclosure. We expect that the security standards will require our facilities to implement additional business procedures and training programs, though the regulations do not mandate use of a specific technology.


DHHS has also established standards for the privacy of individually identifiable health information.  These privacy standards apply to all health plans, all health care clearinghouses and health care providers, such as our facilities, that transmit health information in an electronic form in connection with standard transactions, and apply to individually identifiable information held or disclosed by a covered entity in any form.  These standards impose extensive administrative requirements on our facilities and require compliance with rules governing the use and disclosure of this health information, and they require our facilities to impose these rules, by contract, on any business associate to whom we disclose such information in order to perform functions on their behalf. In addition, our facilities will continue to remain subject to any state laws that are more restrictive than the privacy regulations issued under HIPAA. These laws vary by state and could impose additional penalties.


A violation of the HIPAA regulations could result in civil money penalties of $100 per incident, up to a maximum of $25,000 per person per year per standard.  HIPAA also provides for criminal penalties of up to $50,000 and one year in prison for knowingly and improperly obtaining or disclosing protected health information, up to $100,000 and five years in prison for obtaining protected health information under false pretenses, and up to $250,000 and ten years in prison for obtaining or disclosing protected health information with the intent to sell, transfer or use such information for commercial advantage, personal gain or malicious harm.  Since there is no significant history of enforcement efforts by the federal government at this time, it is not possible to ascertain the likelihood of enforcement efforts in connection with the HIPAA regulations or the potential for fines and penalties, which may result from the violation of the regulations.






Compliance with these standards requires significant commitment and action by us and our facilities.  Because some of the HIPAA regulations are proposed regulations, we cannot predict the total financial impact of the regulations on our operations.


Any Increase In Our Indebtedness May Limit Our Ability to Successfully Run Our Business.  


We may engage in discussions with various financial institutions in the future to secure credit facilities in order to execute our growth strategy.  These credit facilities may contain restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to finance future acquisitions and other expansion of our operations.   These covenants may also require us to achieve and/or maintain specific financial ratios.  Accordingly, our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions may be significantly restricted by these covenants should we obtain such credit facilities.  Furthermore, the restrictive covenants on these credit facilities may prevent us from engaging in transactions including acquisitions that are important to our growth strategy.  These restrictions and requirements could have important consequences to our shareholders, including the following:


-

make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and to adverse changes in business conditions, such  as further limitations on reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid programs;

-

limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes;

-

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, reducing the funds available for our operations;

-

make us vulnerable to increases in interest rates should our bank credit agreement be at a variable rate of interest; and

-

require us to repay the indebtedness immediately if we default on any of the numerous financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our payments of dividends, limitation on our ability to incur of indebtedness and sale of assets.


Any substantial increase in our debt levels could also affect our ability to borrow funds at favorable interest rates and our future operating cash flow.


Other Healthcare Facilities May Provide Similar Healthcare Services, Which May Raise The Level of Competition Faced by Our Healthcare Facilities.  


Competition among healthcare facilities has intensified in recent years.  We face competition from other specialized care providers, including but not limited to physical therapy and diagnostic centers.  We may not be able to successfully compete with our competitors, especially with those competitors that are larger and have greater resources.


Other Healthcare Facilities May Use Equipment and Services That Are More Specialized Than Those Available At Our Facilities, Thus Potentially Making It Difficult for Us to Compete.  


Other healthcare facilities may maintain and use equipment and services that are more specialized or advanced than those at our facilities.  Therefore, it may be difficult for us to compete with such facilities in attracting and retaining patients.


Our Directors and Executive Officers Have Limited Industry Experience, But Our Success Depends on Such Persons.  


Some of our directors and executive officers have no significant experience in the healthcare industry.  Our directors and executive officers may not ultimately be successful in the healthcare industry.  In addition, we believe that our success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of the management of companies that we acquire.


We Depend Heavily on Senior Management and Therefore the Loss of Such Persons Could Adversely Affect Our Business.


We believe that our success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Rainier Gonzalez, and other members of current senior management, and the senior management of the companies we acquire.  Our current employment agreement with Mr. Gonzalez will terminate on December 31, 2006.  We do not have key person life insurance policies covering any of our employees.  We will likely also depend on the senior management of any significant business that we acquire in the future.  If we lose the services of one or more of these key employees before we are able to attract qualified replacement personnel, our business could be adversely affected.


Our Significant Stockholder Is Also Our Chief Executive Officer, and He Alone Is Able to Influence Corporate Action.  


As a result of his stock ownership and board representation, Rainier Gonzalez, who is also our Chief Executive Officer, he will be in a position to influence our corporate actions such as mergers or takeover attempts in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our other stockholders.  Rainier Gonzalez owns 430,422,903 shares of common stock which is 75.11% of the outstanding shares of the 573,026,246 common stock on December 31, 2005.  In addition, Mr. Gonzalez holds the Chairman position in our Board of Directors.






Our Stock Price May Be Volatile.  


The market price for our common stock has been volatile and may be affected by a number of factors, including the announcement of acquisitions or other developments by us or our competitors, quarterly variations in our or other healthcare industry participants’ results of operations, changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, developments in the healthcare industry, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, general market conditions, general economic conditions and other factors.  Some of these factors may be beyond our control or may be unrelated to our results of operations or financial condition.  Such factors may lead to further volatility in the market price of our common stock.  


Shares Eligible For Future Sale May Have a Depressing Affect on Our Stock Price.  


We have a substantial number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.  We expect to issue additional shares of common stock as part of the purchase price for future acquisitions.  We have issued to our employees, officers and directors restricted shares of our common stock.  Any actual sale or any perception that sales of a substantial number of shares may occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities.


RECENT EVENTS

On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Knox County, Kentucky whereby the Company shall lease all of the assets of KCH for a total lease fee amount equal to $2,000,000.  The Company has also agreed to: (a) operate KCH and fund any operational losses; (b) enter into a cooperative lease agreement to lease the Hospital and the real estate of the Hospital for a period of three years at a rate of $1,100,000 per year until June 30, 2007, and effective July 1, 2007 $1,500,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments; (c) continue to provide similar clinical hospital services as currently provided by the KCH; and (d) ensure that indigent care is available to the population of Knox County, Kentucky.  The lease agreement shall be renewable twice at the option of the Company and shall grant to the Company a purchase option.  The purchase price shall be set at the current amount of bond debt as of the date of the execution of the lease agreement less any amount paid under the lease agreement with respect to the KCH purchase


ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY


Our corporate headquarters are located in leased premises at 7759 NW 146th Street, Miami Lakes, Florida 33016.  On December 31, 2005, we leased the real estate for a psychiatric hospital in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  We currently own the real estate for our medical facilities in Lafayette, Louisiana and Greensboro, Georgia.  We consider these facilities to be in good operating condition and suitable for their current use.  We do not expect that we will need to make significant capital expenditures on these facilities in the near future.  


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


In connection with its acquisition of MGBMH, the Company has been named as a co-defendant, along with the Authority, in a lawsuit initiated by a former vendor.  The allegations against the Authority are breach of contract.  As of December 31, 2005, the lawsuit has not yet been resolved.  The Company intends to vigorously assert all available defenses in connection with the lawsuit.  However, an adverse resolution of the lawsuit could result in the payment of significant costs and damages which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


From time to time we become subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims in the ordinary course of business including proceedings related to medical services provided and other matters.  Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.


The Company is subject to various lawsuits and unasserted claims from patients and service providers.  The Company believes that the outcome of these matters, if unfavorable, may be covered by its medical malpractice insurance coverage.  Amounts due to vendors have been accrued as of December 31, 2005.


Other than as stated above, there is no current outstanding litigation in which we are involved in other than routine litigation incidental to our ongoing business.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.


No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005.

Pacer presently is authorized to issue 930,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share.  As of April 15, 2006, there were 573,026,246 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


Pacer is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, none of which is outstanding.  One share of preferred stock was previously designated as Series A Convertible Preferred, which was previously issued to Rainier Gonzalez and since converted into 318,822,903 shares of common stock.  All of the other preferred stock is undesignated and may not be designated or issued by the Board of Directors absent prior stockholder approval.


DIVIDENDS

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We intend to retain future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business.  Any payment of dividend in the future will be at the discretions of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.  Future credit facilities may also restrict our ability to pay dividends in the future.


STOCKHOLDERS


The Number of registered stockholders on December 31, 2005 was 169 based on information furnished to us by our Transfer Agent.


PENNY STOCK


Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors.  This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.  This could cause our stock price to decline.  Penny stocks are stock:


·

With a price of less than $5.00 per share;

·

That are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange;

·

Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or

·

In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6 million for the last three years.






Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks.  Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.


TRANSFER AGENT


The Company’s Transfer Agent is Computershare Trust Co., Inc., located in Denver, Colorado.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL


We are a provider of healthcare services with a primary focus on acquiring and restructuring hospitals.  Specifically, we focus on acquiring financially distressed hospitals, restructuring the operations to attempt to achieve financial viability and consolidate them under the Pacer brand name.  We attempt to ensure the financial viability of these healthcare facilities by applying our management experience to restructuring the daily operations.  We also design and implement “best practices” across these facilities to ensure quality medical services are provided to our patients.


On June 26, 2003, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was acquired by Pacer Health Corporation (formerly known as INFe, Inc.) in a transaction accounted for as a recapitalization of Pacer Health Services, Inc.  For accounting purposes, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was the acquirer because the former stockholders’ of Pacer Health Services, Inc. received the larger portion of the common stockholder interests and voting rights in the combined enterprise when compared to the common stockholder interests and voting rights retained by the pre-merger stockholders of Pacer Health Corporation (formerly known as INFe, Inc.).  As a result, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was re-capitalized to reflect the authorized stock of the legal parent, Pacer Health Corporation (formerly known as INFe, Inc.).  Since Pacer Health Services, Inc. was the acquirer, for accounting purposes, Pacer’s November fiscal year-end had been changed to Pacer Health Services, Inc.’s December 31 fiscal year-end.  


ACQUISITIONS


On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Knox County, Kentucky whereby the Company shall lease all of the assets of KCH (the for a total lease fee amount equal to $2,000,000.  The Company has also agreed to: (a) operate KCH and fund any operational losses; (b) enter into a cooperative lease agreement to lease KCH and the real estate of KCH for a period of three years at a rate of $1,100,000 per year until June 30, 2007, and effective July 1, 2007 $1,500,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments; (c) continue to provide similar clinical hospital services as currently provided by KCH; and (d) ensure that indigent care is available to the population of Knox County, Kentucky.  The lease agreement shall be renewable twice at the option of the Company and will grant to the Company a purchase option.  The purchase price will be set at the current amount of bond debt as of the date of the execution of the lease agreement less any amount paid under the lease agreement with respect to the KCH purchase.


On December 6, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Holdings of Lafayette, Inc. (“Pacer Sub”) acquired a majority interest in Southpark.  Pacer Sub received a 60% equity position in Southpark and the remaining investors of Southpark reduced their equity position to 40% in consideration for an infusion amount up to $2,500,000, the exact amount to be reasonably determined by Pacer Sub as necessary to sustain the operations of Southpark.  Pacer Sub also assumed a prorated share of the outstanding liabilities and also assumed the position of guarantor, equal to its percentage of ownership, on all notes.  Pacer Sub has also agreed to reimburse certain investors who made principal and interest payments on certain third party loans on behalf of Southpark.


On September 1, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation of Georgia, completed its asset purchase agreement with the Greene County Hospital Authority to acquire certain identifiable assets and assume certain liabilities used in the operation of  MGBMH.  The total purchase amount was $1,108,676.  


On March 22, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Camelot to acquire certain assets used in the operation of SCMH.  As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of its common stock having a fair value of $1,100,000.  


We intend to expand our regional network through the acquisition of additional financially distressed hospitals.  In most cases, we believe that our initial market entry will be through the acquisition of key existing healthcare facilities in a market.  We intend to retain the management of well-run facilities to benefit from their knowledge and experience.  Smaller facilities may also be acquired in non-strategic locations.  We believe that by acquiring existing facilities, we will build our network in a cost-efficient manner.






The net book value of goodwill at December 31, 2005 totaled $2,796,452, which represents 11% of the total assets at that date.  We follow the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), which require us to complete impairment tests on goodwill as of December 31, 2005.  Accordingly, an impairment analysis was performed that resulted in no additional impairment.  Goodwill will be tested for impairment annually at December 31 or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred.  However, earnings in future years could be materially adversely affected if management later determines the goodwill balance is impaired.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates, including but not limited to, those related to allowance for contractuals and bad debts, accrued liabilities, and the valuation allowance offsetting deferred income taxes.  The Company also reviews its goodwill for possible impairment.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations include those listed above, as well as our valuation of equity securities used in transactions and for compensation, and our revenue recognition methods for healthcare operations.


Patient Service Revenue Recognition


In general, the Company follows the guidance of the Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition.  The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the patient is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company also follows the industry specific revenue recognition criteria as delineated in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Audit and Accounting Guide “Health Care Organizations”.


The Company’s hospitals has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the hospitals at amounts different from its established rates.  A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors follows:

 

Medicare:  Inpatient acute care services and outpatient services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates.  These rates vary according to a patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic, and other factors.  Inpatient nonacute services and defined capital and medical education costs related to Medicare beneficiaries are paid based on a cost reimbursement methodology.  The hospitals is reimbursed for cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the hospitals and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal intermediary.  The hospitals claims Medicare payments based on an interpretation of certain “disproportionate share” rules.

 

Medicaid:  Inpatient and outpatient services rendered to Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed under a cost reimbursement methodology.  The hospitals is reimbursed at a tentative rate with final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the hospitals and audits thereof by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary.

 

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation.  As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates could change by a material amount in the near term.  


The hospitals also has entered into payment agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider organizations.  The basis for payment to the hospitals under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per discharge, discounts from established charges, and prospectively determined daily rates.


Patient service revenue from hospital operations is recognized when the goods or services are provided to the patient and billed to the patient or third party payor.  Patient service revenue is reported net of estimated contractual allowances.  These third-party contractual adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the services are provided, and revenues in future periods are adjusted based on final settlements with the third party payors.  Management has recorded estimates for bad debt losses, which may be sustained in the collection of these receivables.  Although estimates with respect to realization of the receivables are based on Management’s knowledge of current events, the Company’s collection history, and actions it may undertake in the future, actual collections may ultimately differ substantially from these estimates.  Receivables are written off when all legal actions have been exhausted.  


Property And Equipment






Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Equipment, major renewals and improvements greater than $5,000 are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Gain or loss on disposition of property is recorded at the time of disposition.  


Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is provided for by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 3-to-10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment and 3-to-5 years for vehicles, computer hardware, software, and communication systems.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of useful lives or lease terms including available option periods.


Stock Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock based compensation under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.”  For stock and options issued to employees, and for transactions with non-employees in which services were performed in exchange for the Company’s common stock, the transactions are recorded on the basis of fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever was more readily measurable.  


In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” was issued.  This pronouncement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and provides guidance to companies that wish to voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, among other provisions.  The Company accounts for its employee stock based compensation under the fair value based method provisions of SFAS No. 123; therefore, the issuance of SFAS No. 148 did not have any impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS 123.  In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding its interpretation of SFAS 123R.  The standard requires companies to expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees.  In accordance with the revised statement, we have recognized the expense attributable to restricted stock granted or vested on the basis of fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever was more readily measurable.


For stock directly issued to employees for services, a compensation charge is recorded against earnings over the service period measured at the date of grant based on the fair value of the stock award.  Certain stock issuances were issued as a result of employment agreements entered into by the Company.  


On June 20, 2002, INFe had issued 950,000 warrants to various consultants in exchange for their services.  These warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire over a 5-year period.  The warrants were assumed by the Company in the reverse merger.  No warrants were granted during the period ended December 31, 2005.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004.

The Company had revenues $11,515,119 and $8,231,505 in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $3,283,614 or 39.8%.  Our revenues increased significantly for the year ended December 31, 2005 from the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily as a result of our acquisition of the medical hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana and Greensboro, Georgia. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in our revenues for our Cameron, Louisiana facility and our Lake Charles facility.  This reduction was the direct result of the destruction of our acute care facility and temporary shutdown of our Lake Charles, Louisiana facility from Hurricane Rita.  Revenue includes reimbursement amounts billed to Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies.  These amounts are shown at the gross amount billed less contractual allowances.  Revenue also includes other operational income.  


The Company had total operating expenses of $12,863,596 and $8,545,226 in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $4,318,370 or 50.5%.    Our expenses increased significantly for the year ended December 31, 2005 from the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily as a result of our acquisition of the medical hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana and Greensboro, Georgia. As a result of our late acquisition of Southpark, our operating costs were disproportionally higher for the facility due to the fact that we are in the beginning stages of our turnaround plan.  Accordingly, the expenses reflect the cost structure that was in place prior to Pacer’s acquisition of the majority interest.  The operating expense of our Cameron, Louisiana Facility and Lake Charles, Louisiana facility also increased.  The increase was the direct result of Hurricane Rita.  The increase includes cleanup costs and the cost of restocking various medical supplies in our Lake Charles, Louisiana facility as well as payment of severance to former employees laid off as a result of the destruction of our Cameron, Louisiana facility.  Our Cameron, Louisiana facility also incurred significant operating expenses when it treated and housed a significant amount of displaced Hurricane Katrina victims.  These expenses were not reimbursed to the Company by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) or the State of Louisiana in 2005.  The Company anticipates full reimbursement of such expenses in fiscal year 2006.  






The Company had a net loss of $899,039 in 2005 compared to net income of $879,248 in 2004.  The income / (loss) per share was approximately $(0.00) in 2005 and $0.00 in 2004.  This is primarily the result of our acquisition of Southpark.  On December 6, 2005, we acquired a 60% interest in Southpark Community Hospital LLC.  During the month of December, Southpark Community Hospital LLC incurred a loss of $640,403.  As a result of the value of the minority interest being $0, we are required to allocate the entire loss of $640,403 to our consolidated statement of operations instead of 60% of the stated loss.  The loss is primarily attributable to the inherited cost structure of Southpark Community Hospital LLC and the low revenues generated prior to the Company’s acquisition.  The Company began to effectuate its turnaround and restructuring plan shortly after its acquisition of its membership interest.  The implementation of the turnaround and restructuring plan is expected to last through the first quarter of next year.  As a result, the Company expects Southpark Community Hospital LLC to have losses until at least the end of next quarter.


The Company plans to expand its business over the next several years, largely through the acquisition of financially distressed hospitals.  The corporate general and administrative expenses are expected to increase over this time period, due principally to expansion of corporate personnel and integration costs planned to be incurred in connection with the development and implementation of centralized operational and financial systems.


The Company incurred interest expense of $158,210 and $329,082 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of $170,872 or 51.9%.  The decrease is primarily due to the settlement of outstanding convertible debentures we had issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP (“Cornell”) and had settled on November 30, 2004.  We may also incur additional debt in future years in order to facilitate acquisitions or expand corporate operations.   Interest paid on this future debt could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects.


The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $0 and $0, respectively.  Any tax benefit generated by our loss was offset by a deferred tax asset allowance.  Our future effective tax rate will depend on various factors including the mix between state taxable income or losses, amounts of tax deductible goodwill and the timing of adjustments to the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We had cash of $1,219,225 and $1,023,028 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.   Cash generated from operations was $304,147 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and cash generated from operations was $682,124 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The increase in cash was due primarily to our restructuring of our operations in our facilities and the acquisition of our Greensboro, Georgia facility.


Cash provided from investing activities resulted primarily from capital expenditures and assumptions of liabilities.  Capital expenditures during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $111,903 and $74,082.  Capital expenditures include buildings and improvements, furniture and fixtures, computer hardware, medical vehicles, and medical equipment.   


Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $644,862 and cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $552,559.  This includes advances from our principal shareholder, net of repayments, and certain notes payable received for the year ended December 31, 2005.


During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company submitted a cost report for the stand-alone period March 22, 2004 through December 31, 2004 which indicated that an additional $887,084 was due as a result of the Company receiving certain overpayments that the Company was no longer qualified to receive.  The liability in connection with previous stand-alone year’s Medicare liabilities aggregated $1,677,371 at December 31, 2005.  Of the total, $700,711 remained in long term liabilities due to the Company negotiating a long term repayment plan with Medicare which requires a principal and interest payment aggregating $34,265 to be paid on a monthly basis. At December 31, 2005, the current portion of the total liability is $976,660. In connection with the acquisition of MGBMH, the Company assumed a Medicare liability of $693,871.  The liability is due to MGBMH receiving certain overpayments in excess of its cost.  MGBMH has been designated a “critical access” facility by Medicare and will generally receive a reimbursement equal to its cost.

On November 30, 2004, the Company settled all of its outstanding convertible debentures held by Cornell totaling $765,000 excluding related debt discount of $133,330 with Cornell.  In connection with the settlement, the Company paid Cornell $150,000 as of December 31, 2004.  In accordance with the settlement plan, the Company was required to pay $130,000 on each date of February 15, 2005, May 15, 2005 and August 15, 2005.  All payments were made for the year ended December 31, 2005.


The Company intends to implement its business strategy largely by the acquisition of financially distressed hospitals.  The Company intends to finance the costs of its business acquisitions and capital expenditures with a combination of debt and equity capital, as well as cash generated from internal operations.  Specifically, we expect to finance the cost of future business acquisitions by paying cash





and issuing shares of our common stock to the sellers of these businesses in approximately equal values; however, this combination may change for any given transaction.  


The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities will provide adequate funds to meet the ongoing cash requirements of its existing business over the next 12 months.  However, failure to successfully raise additional capital or incur debt could limit the planned expansion of our existing business in the short-term.  We cannot provide assurance that the occurrence of unplanned events, including temporary or long-term adverse changes in global capital markets, will not interrupt or curtail our short-term or long-term growth plans.


INFLATION


Our business will be affected by general economic trends.  During the past year, we have not experienced noticeable effects of inflation.


SEASONALITY


The healthcare industry has historically been unaffected by seasonal changes.  We do not expect seasonal changes to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and growth prospects.


IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143.” This Interpretation clarifies the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with an asset retirement when the timing and/or method of settling obligations are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.” SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and a correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures

Pacer’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of Pacer’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report, have concluded that as of such date, Pacer’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to Pacer that is required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and accumulated and communicated to Pacer’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


b.

Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of Pacer’s internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, Pacer’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that there are no changes to Pacer’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

Pacer Health Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pacer Health Corporation as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacer Health Corporation at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Pacer Health Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2005



Note 1   Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


(A) Nature of Operations


Pacer Health Corporation (“Pacer”), a Florida corporation, has nine subsidiaries:


·

Pacer Health Services, Inc. (a Florida corporation formed on May 5, 2003),

·

Pacer Health Management Corporation (a Louisiana Corporation formed on February 1, 2004),

·

Pacer Holdings of Louisiana, Inc. (a Florida corporation formed on March 3, 2004),

·

Pacer Holdings of Georgia, Inc. (a Florida corporation formed on June 26, 2004),

·

Pacer Health Management Corporation of Georgia (a Georgia corporation formed on June 28, 2004),

·

Pacer Holdings of Arkansas, Inc. (a Florida corporation formed on October 26, 2004),

·

Pacer Health Management of Florida LLC (an Florida limited liability company formed on December 19, 2005) and

·

Pacer Holdings of Lafayette, Inc. (a Louisiana corporation formed on November 28, 2005).


On December 6, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Holdings of Lafayette, Inc. (“Pacer Sub”) acquired a majority interest in Southpark Community Hospital, L.L.C. (“Southpark”)  Pacer Sub received a sixty percent equity position in Southpark and the remaining investors of Southpark reduced their equity position to forty percent in consideration for an infusion amount up to $2,500,000, the exact amount to be reasonably determined by Pacer Sub as necessary to sustain the operations of Southpark.  Pacer Sub also assumed a prorated share of the outstanding liabilities and also assumed the position of guarantor, equal to its percentage of ownership, on all notes.  Pacer Sub has also agreed to reimburse certain investors who made principal and interest payments on certain third party loans on behalf of Southpark. (See Note 3)


On September 1, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacer Health Management Corporation of Georgia, completed its asset purchase agreement with the Greene County Hospital Authority to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities used in the operation of Minnie G. Boswell Memorial Hospital.  The total purchase amount was $1,108,676.  (See Note 3)


On October 12, 2004, the Company sold AAA Medical Center, Inc. (“AAA”) a medical treatment center to an unrelated third party. (See Note 17)


On March 22, 2004, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Camelot Specialty Hospital of Cameron, LLC (“Cameron”).  Under the terms of the asset purchase, the Company acquired the business and certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Cameron.  As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of its common stock having a fair value of $1,100,000. (See Note 3)


On June 26, 2003, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was acquired by Pacer (f/k/a INFe, Inc.) in a transaction accounted for as a recapitalization of Pacer Health Services, Inc.  For accounting purposes, Pacer Health Services, Inc. was the acquirer because the former stockholders of Pacer Health Services, Inc. received the larger portion of the common stockholder interests and voting rights in the combined enterprise when compared to the common stockholder interests and voting rights retained by the pre-merger stockholders of Pacer (f/k/a INFe, Inc.).  As a result, Pacer Health Services, Inc. is re-capitalized to reflect the authorized stock of the legal parent, Pacer (f/k/a INFe, Inc.).  Since Pacer Health Services, Inc. was the acquirer, for accounting purposes, Pacer’s November fiscal year end was changed to Pacer Health Services, Inc.’s December 31, fiscal year end.


Pacer along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) began its activities in May 2003. The Company acquires financially distressed hospitals.  The Company currently owns and operates a non-urban hospital in Cameron, Louisiana; a non-urban health clinic in Grand Lakes, Louisiana; a geriatric psychiatric center in Lake Charles, Louisiana; a non-urban hospital in Greensboro, Georgia; a skilled nursing facility in Greensboro, Georgia; and an urban hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana.  The Company is attempting to build a regional network of hospitals designed to provide healthcare services to various individuals.






(B)

Basis of Presentation


The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Pacer Health Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The Company operates in a single industry segment, healthcare. The Company owns and operates urban and non-urban hospitals, rural health clinics and skilled nursing facilities. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


At December 31, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,691,866.  In 2005, the Company had a net loss of $899,039 and a positive cash flow from operations of $304,147.  This loss is primarily the result of our acquisition of Southpark.  On December 6, 2005, we acquired a 60% interest in Southpark Community Hospital LLC.  During the month of December, Southpark Community Hospital LLC incurred a loss of $640,403.  As a result of the value of the minority interest being $0, we are required to allocate the entire loss of $640,403 to our consolidated statement of operations instead of 60% of the stated loss.  The loss is primarily attributable to the inherited cost structure of Southpark Community Hospital LLC and the low revenues generated prior to the Company’s acquisition.  The Company began to effectuate its turnaround and restructuring plan shortly after its acquisition of its membership interest.  The implementation of the turnaround and restructuring plan is expected to last through the first quarter of 2006.  As a result, the Company expects Southpark Community Hospital LLC to have losses until at least the end of first quarter of 2006.  Accordingly, management has mitigated future losses and does not believe that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


(C)

Use of Estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about the future outcome of current transactions, which may affect the reporting and disclosure of these transactions.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.


Significant estimates in 2005 and 2004 include contractual allowances on revenues and related patients receivable, bad debt allowance on patients receivable, bad debt allowance on other receivables, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, valuation and related impairments of goodwill, and other long-lived assets and an estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.


(E)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purpose of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.


(F)

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Equipment, major renewals and improvements greater than $5,000 are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Gain or loss on disposition of property is recorded at the time of disposition.  


Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment and 3 to 5 years for vehicles, computer hardware, software, and communication systems.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of useful lives or lease terms including available option periods.


(G)

Long-Lived Assets


The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be





recoverable.  If the undiscounted future cash flows of the long-lived assets are less than the carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.


(H)

Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets


The Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company’s acquired subsidiaries or assets over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition.  Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life; rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment applying a fair-value based test. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized and charged to operations an impairment charge of $0 and $545,024, respectively. The 2004 impairment charge is related to the discontinued operations and included in the statement of operations as a component of loss from discontinued operations. (See Note 17)


(I)

Revenue Recognition and Patients Receivable


(i)

Hospital Operations


In general, the Company follows the guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition. The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the patient is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company also follows the industry specific revenue recognition criteria as delineated in the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide “Health Care Organizations”.

The Company recognizes revenues in the period in which services are performed and billed to the patient or third party payor. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third party payors and patients. Amounts the Company receives for treatment of patients covered by governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third party payors such as health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other private insurers are generally less than the Company’s established billing rates. Accordingly, the revenues and accounts receivable reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amount expected to be received.

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from our standard charges. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the period of the change.

Management has recorded estimates for bad debt losses, which may be sustained in the collection of these receivables. Although estimates with respect to realization of the receivables are based on Management’s knowledge of current events, the Company’s collection history, and actions it may undertake in the future, actual collections may ultimately differ substantially from these estimates. Receivables are written off when all legal actions have been exhausted. (See Note 4)

The Company participates in the Louisiana disproportionate share hospital (“DSH”) fund and the Georgia disproportionate share hospital fund (“ICTF”) related to uncompensated care provided to a disproportionate percentage of low-income and Medicaid patients.  Upon meeting certain qualifications, our facilities in





Louisiana and Georgia become eligible to receive additional reimbursement from the fund.  The reimbursement amount is determined upon submission of uncompensated care data by all eligible hospitals.  Once the reimbursement amount is determined, collectability is reasonably assured and the additional reimbursement is included as revenue under SEC Staff Accounting Bulleting 104.

(ii)

Management Services


The Company recognizes management service fees as services are provided.

(J)

Charity Care


The Company provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates.  Because the Company does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue.  The amount of charges forgone for services and supplies furnished under the Company’s charity care aggregated approximately $600,075 and $213,722 in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(K)

Investments


The Company accounts for marketable securities according to the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". SFAS No. 115 addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Investments in securities are to be classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.

Held-to-Maturity - Investments in debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method. The Company has the ability and the intention to hold these investments to maturity and, accordingly, they are not adjusted for temporary declines in their fair value.

Available-for-Sale - Investments in debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized (net of tax effect) as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Trading - Investments in debt and equity securities classified as trading are stated at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses for trading securities are included in income.

Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method.

(L)

Stock Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock based compensation under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". For stock and options issued to employees, and for transactions with non-employees in which services were performed in exchange for the Company’s common stock, the transactions are recorded on the basis of fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever was more readily measurable.

In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", was issued. This pronouncement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and provides guidance to companies that wish to voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, among other provisions. The Company accounts for its employee stock based compensation under the fair value based method provisions of SFAS No. 123. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no grants of stock options to either employees or non-employees.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS 123.  In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding its interpretation of SFAS 123R.  The standard requires companies to expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. In accordance with the revised statement, we have recognized the expense attributable to restricted stock granted or vested on the basis of fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever was more readily measurable.





For stock directly issued to employees for services, a compensation charge is recorded against earnings over the service period measured at the date of grant based on the fair value of the stock award.

(M)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share


Basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income(loss) per share (Diluted EPS) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock, such as convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock. There is no calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 or 2004 as discussed below.

At December 31, 2004 there were 950,000 common stock warrants outstanding. There was no incremental share effect of these warrants on diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2004 under the treasury method as the exercise price exceeded the average trading price during the year ended December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2004, there were 3,000,000 shares previously issued as collateral that were considered not issued or outstanding for EPS purposes and accordingly not included in the computation of basic and diluted EPS in 2004.  Upon a settlement agreement reached with an unrelated third party, the Company issued 500,000 shares at December 31, 2004.  The remaining 2,500,000 shares were cancelled on August 30, 2005 upon satisfaction of the settlement payable.  

At December 31, 2005, there were warrants for 950,000 shares of common stock, which may dilute future earnings per share. There is no incremental effect of these warrants on diluted net loss per share in 2005 due to the Company’s net loss in 2005.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of certain employment agreements for three individuals who have received restricted stock awards, the vesting date for shares issued is one year subsequent to the receipt of said shares. The employee must provide services for one year in order to be fully vested in their stock award. As a result, the Company has only included those shares that have been issued and correspond to the employee’s current service period. As such, these shares are not included in basic earnings per share until they become fully vested.  The Company follows financial accounting as set forth in SFAS No. 123 for cliff vesting when recording the charges for services provided.

(N)

Advertising


In accordance with Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position 93-7, (“SOP 93-7”) costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising of the Company, are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $5,907 and $2,418, respectively.


(O)

Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”).  Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period, which includes the enactment date.  


(P)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value.  For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.


The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including patient receivables and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.






(Q)

Concentrations


Bank Deposit Accounts:


The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times exceed federally insured limits.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company had deposits of $819,225 in excess of federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2005.


Geographic Concentrations:


The Company’s operations are concentrated in specific medical facilities in Louisiana and Georgia. (See Note 1(A)).  Geographic concentration risks may include natural disasters.  The Company incurred disaster loss and interruption of operations, as a result of Hurricane Wilma in late 2005. (See Note 16).


(R)

New Accounting Standards

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This Standard retained accounting guidance related to changes in estimates, changes in a reporting entity and error corrections. However, changes in accounting principles must be accounted for retrospectively by modifying the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not believe adoption of this Standard will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2005, the FASB Staff issued Position No. FAS 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period. This FSP indicates that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a construction period shall be recognized as rental expense and not capitalized to the project. This FSP is applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not believe this FSP will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(S)

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the December 31, 2005 Financial Statements.  The reclassifications had no effect on the net income for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Note 2  Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3  Acquisitions and Goodwill

On March 22, 2004 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Camelot Specialty Hospital of Cameron, LLC (“Cameron”).  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the business and certain identifiable assets and assumed certain liabilities (see allocation below).  At the Acquisition Date, Cameron was a provider of healthcare services with a primary focus on hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and medical centers.  Cameron owns and operates a rural hospital, a rural health clinic, and a geriatric psychiatric center.  The Company operates this hospital doing business as South Cameron Memorial Hospital.


The Company accounted for this acquisition using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141.  On the Acquisition Date, the purchase price was $1,100,000.  The purchase price was paid with 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and valued at $.022 per share based on the average quoted trading price during the acquisition period.  The purchase price initially exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired by $737,256.  The excess has been applied to goodwill.  The Company expects that the goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes.  Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” goodwill has an indefinite life and accordingly will not be amortized but will be reviewed periodically for impairment.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company’s continued evaluation of the purchase price allocation revealed that an additional $479,062 in goodwill should be recorded primarily based on a revaluation of other receivables acquired and the Medicare liability assumed.  Additionally, the Company reviewed the amount recorded to goodwill for Cameron and has determined that no impairment charge is required to be taken at December 31, 2005 and 2004.  





The results of operations of South Cameron Memorial Hospital are included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company since the Acquisition Date.  


The revised final allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2004 were as follows:


Patient accounts receivable, net

On September 1, 2005 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Minnie G. Boswell Memorial Hospital (“MGBMH”).  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired the business and certain identifiable assets and assumed certain liabilities.  At the Acquisition Date, MGBMH was a provider of healthcare services with a primary focus on hospitals and nursing homes.  MGBMH owns and operates a non-urban hospital and nursing home.  The Company will operate this hospital doing business as Minnie G. Boswell Memorial Hospital.

The Company accounted for this acquisition using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141.  The purchase price of the facility was $1,108,676, including $108,676 in direct costs of the acquisition.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company applied a receivable due to it from MGBMH of $1,086,807 and waived receipt of the additional $86,807 from the seller as a charge to management income.

The results of operations of MGBMH are included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company from the Acquisition Date.

On December 6, 2005 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Southpark Community Hospital (“SPCH”).  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company received a sixty percent equity position in Southpark and the remaining investors of Southpark reduced their equity position to forty percent in consideration for an infusion amount up to $2,500,000, the exact amount to be reasonably determined by the Company as necessary to sustain the operations of Southpark.  The Company also assumed a prorated share of the outstanding liabilities and also assumed the position of guarantor, equal to its percentage of ownership, on all notes.  The Company has also agreed to reimburse certain investors who made principal and interest payments on certain third party loans on behalf of Southpark.


The Company accounted for this acquisition using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141.  The purchase price of the facility was $500,000 as of December 31, 2005.  Additional contributions in the future will increase the purchase price.  The results of operations of SPCH are included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company from the Acquisition Date.

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payers that receive discounts from our standard charges. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates.

Note 9 Advances Payable

Minnie G. Boswell Memorial Hospital (“MGBMH”) is a participant in the Indigent Care Trust Fund (“ICTF”) in the State of Georgia, which administers the disproportionate share hospital payments (“DSH”). MGBMH is required to make an intergovernmental transfer approximately equal to the value of the previous year’s uncompensated care as a match to draw down federal DSH dollars. The amount MGBMH was required to transfer in December of 2004 was approximately $950,000. Prior to the acquisition, MGBMH remitted to the Company funds of which $244,000 was allocated for the intergovernmental transfer. The Company anticipated providing the remaining balance of approximately $700,000 for the intergovernmental transfer due on behalf of MGBMH. Prior to the remittance coming due, the State of Georgia amended the disproportionate share amount on an interim basis pending an audit of designated hospitals. The amended disproportionate share amount was remitted to the State of Georgia in January 2005 and all proceeds thereof including the remitted amount were transferred by the State of Georgia to MGBMH.  At August 31, 2005, the Company accrued $2,482 relating to certain advances received from MGBMH in excess of services billed for in connection with the interim services agreement.  

As a result of the acquisition of MGBMH, the Company offset the amount due against its receivable which was the applied as consideration for the purchase price.

Note 10 Medicare Payable

Increases in the Medicare liabilities in 2005 resulted primarily from our submission of a cost report for the standalone period March 22, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and from our assumption of Medicare liabilities as a result of business acquisitions (see Note 3).  Medicare liabilities result from Medicare audits or our submission of cost reports to Medicare.  Medicare liabilities represent amounts due to Medicare as a result of excess cost reimbursements by Medicare (see Note 1(H)).  The Company has current Medicare liabilities of $1,670,531 and long term Medicare liabilities of $700,711.  The long term portion relates to two negotiated payment plans.

-    


During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company reported a net loss which will increase the net operating loss carryforward.  As a result, the Company did not record a current tax expense and adjusted its deferred tax expense accordingly.


The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,266,360 available to offset future taxable income expiring 2025.  In addition, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards from the pre-merger tax filings of INFe that the company does not expect to materially realize as a result of certain provisions of the tax law, specifically Internal Revenue Code Section 382, that limit the net operating loss carryforwards available for use in any given year in the event of a significant change in ownership interest.  As such, the Company did not record any portion of the pre-merger INFe net operating loss carryforward.   Accordingly, all deferred tax assets created by net operating loss carryforwards are offset in their entirety by a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.   


The valuation allowance at December 31, 2005 was $303,646.  The net change in valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2005 was an increase of $241,769.


Note 15 Gain on Settlement of Debt

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company settled certain outstanding liabilities and realized a gain on debt settlement as follows:


Gain on Settlement of Preacquisition Liabilities

$1,079,851

Gain on Settlement of Outstanding Convertible Debentures

     

$   352,856

   Total Gain on Settlement

$1,432,707






In connection with the convertible debenture settled, the Company had recognized amortization of debt discount of $100,503, amortization of debt issued costs of $25,616 and amortization of equity line commitment fee of $390,000.

Note 16 Natural Disaster

On September 24, 2005, the Company suffered severe damage to our acute care hospital and health clinic in Cameron, Louisiana as a result of Hurricane Rita.  The facilities and corresponding equipment have been deemed unsuitable for use in administering health care services.  As a result, the Company recorded an impairment on fixed assets of $273,808.  The property and equipment were insured and the Company received the proceeds of the policies from the insurance companies.  The Company recognized a gain, net of impairment, of $521,141 from the insurance proceeds.    



Note 17 Discontinued Operations


On October 12, 2004, the Company sold AAA to an unrelated third party.  The results of AAA have been presented as discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Pursuant to the terms of the sale, the Company sold all assets except for any patient accounts receivable existing as of the date of the sale.  In connection with the sale, during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has recognized and charged to operations an impairment of goodwill totaling $545,024.  The impairment of goodwill was necessary since the carrying cost exceeded the fair value of this intangible asset. The Company reports the results of AAA’s operations pursuant to SFAS 144; as such, the long-lived assets relating to the Company’s physical therapy operations are being classified and reported as discontinued operations.  


Note 18 Subsequent Events


On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Knox County, Kentucky whereby the Company shall lease all of the assets of Knox County Hospital (“KCH”) for a total lease fee amount equal to $2,000,000.  The Company has also agreed to: (a) operate KCH and fund any operational losses; (b) enter into a cooperative lease agreement to lease the Hospital and the real estate of the Hospital for a period of three years at a rate of $1,100,000 per year until June 30, 2007, and effective July 1, 2007 $1,500,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments; (c) continue to provide similar clinical hospital services as currently provided by the KCH; and (d) ensure that indigent care is available to the population of Knox County, Kentucky.  The lease agreement shall be renewable twice at the option of the Company and shall grant to the Company a purchase option.  The purchase price shall be set at the current amount of bond debt as of the date of the execution of the lease agreement less any amount paid under the lease agreement with respect to the KCH purchase.
