Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan"(“Magellan”) was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company'sCompany’s executive offices are located at 16 Munson Road, Farmington, Connecticut 06032, and its telephone number at that location is (860) 507-1900.

See "Business—“Business—Provider Network"Network” for further discussion of the Company'sCompany’s managed behavioral healthcare network. The treatment services provided through the Company'sCompany’s provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), inpatient treatment and crisis intervention services. The Company, however, generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment services.

At December 31, 2003,2004, the Company managed the behavioral healthcare benefits of approximately 58.657.1 million individuals.

In May 2003, the Company'sCompany’s board of directors approved a change in the Company'sCompany’s fiscal year. Instead of a fiscal year ending on September 30, the Company has adopted a fiscal year that coincides with the calendar year, effective December 31, 2002. On August 12, 2003, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"(“SEC”) a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. Throughout this Report on Form 10-K, references to the Company'sCompany’s historical financial information prior to December 31, 2002 will refer to the Company'sCompany’s former fiscal year end of September 30. For example, fiscal years 2001 andyear 2002 correspondcorresponds to the twelve-month periodsperiod ended September 30, 20012002, and 2002, respectively. Referencesreferences to fiscal 2003 and 2004 relate to the Company'sCompany’s fiscal yearyears ended December 31, 2003.2003 and 2004, respectively.

Emergence From Chapter 11

On January 5, 2004 (the "Effective Date"“Effective Date”), Magellan and 88 of its subsidiaries consummated their Third Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization, as modified and confirmed (the "Plan"“Plan”), under

3



chapter 11


of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"“Bankruptcy Code”), which had been confirmed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"“Bankruptcy Court”) on October 8, 2003, and accordingly the Plan became fully effective and the companies emerged from the protection of their chapter 11 proceedings. The cash and other distributions to which the Company’s former creditors and stockholders became entitled under the Plan were made on the Effective Date or shortly thereafter, except that distributions in respect of certain disputed claims were reserved as of the Effective Date, to be made upon resolution of the disputed claims.  As discussed below, all but an immaterial portion of such disputed claims were resolved and the required distributions were completed during 2004. Magellan and these subsidiaries had filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court on March 11, 2003.

The following is a summary of the transactions which became effective on the Effective Date pursuant to or in connection with the consummation of the Plan. The distributions to which the Company'sCompany’s former creditors and shareholders became entitled under the Plan were made by the Company on the Effective Date or were disbursed in accordance with the Plan soon thereafter, except for certain immaterial distributions that were subsequently made or will be made in the future as provided for by the Plan upon certain conditions being satisfied. This summary only highlights certain of the substantive provisions of the Plan and the documents implementing the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the full text of the Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2(a) to Magellan'sMagellan’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2003, as first supplemented by the modification filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Magellan'sMagellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2003 and further supplemented by the modification filed as Exhibit 2.3 to Magellan'sMagellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2003 and as to be implemented pursuant to the confirmation order, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.4 to Magellan'sMagellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2003, and (ii) the implementing documents, which are referred to below in this summary, filed as Exhibits 2.2 - 2.15 to Magellan'sMagellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 6, 2004, and as amended in certain instances by Magellan'sMagellan’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 7, 2004.

Giving effect to the Plan, Magellan and its subsidiaries continued, in their previous organizational form, to conduct their business as previously conducted, with the same assets in all material respects (except for cash to be distributed under the Plan to former creditors of the Company), but the Company was recapitalized. Specifically, the Company'sCompany’s secured bank loans, as existing before the Effective Date, were paid in full, and other then existingthen-existing indebtedness (i.e., two classes of notes and general unsecured creditor claims) and the then existingthen-existing equity interests in Magellan were cancelled as of the Effective Date in exchange for the distributions provided for by the Plan, as further described below, all as of the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank, as lender and administrative agent, and other lenders providing for a $100.0 million term loan, an $80.0 million letter of credit facility and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (collectively, the "Credit Agreement").facility. The interest rate on term loan and revolving credit borrowings will fluctuatefluctuates, and will beoriginally was at a rate that was equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate established by Deutsche Bank or (ii) one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight "federal funds"“federal funds” rate, as from time to time in effect, plus in either case two and one-half percent per year, subject to the Company'sCompany’s election to have interest calculated based on the "Eurodollar rate"“Eurodollar rate” offered by Deutsche Bank plus three and one-half percent per year.year (see discussion of credit agreement amendment below). The interest rate on letter of credit-related borrowings will bewas fixed at 3.5 percent. However, in each case the interest rate could be reduced upon achievement of certain conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreementcredit agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and certain quarterly principal payments on the term loan are also required. The Credit Agreement isMagellan’s obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of Magellan and isare secured by substantially all of the assets of Magellan and the subsidiary


guarantors. TheOn the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, the proceeds of the term loan, together with other existing funds, were used on the Effective Date to repay in full in accordance with the Plan the Company'sCompany’s senior secured bank indebtedness under its previous credit agreement (the "Old“Old Credit Agreement"Agreement”) of approximately $161 million, to make other cash payments contemplated by the Plan, to pay fees and expenses related to the chapter 11 cases, and

for general working capital purposes. In addition, the letter of credit facility has been utilized to back letters of credit outstanding on the Effective Date and to provide additional letters of credit when needed for the Company'sCompany’s business. In September 2004, the Company reduced the letter of credit facility from $80.0 million to $50.0 million. Also, in October 2004 the credit agreement was amended to reduce the annual interest rate on borrowings under the term loan facility and the letter of credit facility, each by 1.25 percent. This credit agreement as initially entered into and as amended is referred to hereafter as the “Credit Agreement.” For a further discussion of the Credit Agreement, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations"Obligations” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

As of the Effective Date, in satisfaction of the $250$250.0 million of principal owed on the 9.375% senior notes due 2007 (the "Old“Old Senior Notes"Notes”) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Company issued to the holders of such notes approximately $233.5 million in original principal amount of Series A notes of a new issue of senior notes due November 15, 2008 (the "Series“Series A Notes",Notes,” together with the Series B Notes (see below), the "Senior Notes"“Senior Notes”) and made a cash payment of approximately $46.1 million. The terms of the Senior Notes are substantially similar to those of the Old Senior Notes, except that they mature on November 15, 2008. For a further discussion of the Senior Notes, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations"Obligations” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

Under the Plan, holders of the Company's previousCompany’s previously outstanding 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 in the principal amount of $625.0 million (the "Old“Old Subordinated Notes"Notes”) and holders of general unsecured creditor claims, (otherother than claims on the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes) ("Notes (“Other GUCs"GUCs”), were to receive in the aggregate approximately 97 percent of the Ordinary Common Stock par value $0.01 per share (“Ordinary Common Stock”) (or approximately 22.3 million shares) of the reorganized Company (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). The actual number of shares allocated between these two classes of creditors, as well as the number of shares allocated to each individual creditor in such creditor classes, is dependentwas made, in accordance with the Plan, based upon the final,estimated, total aggregate claims value of claims for the two creditor classes, as discussed further below.

As of the Effective Date, the Company estimated that the holders of the Old Subordinated Notes would receive in satisfaction of their claims (including all accrued and unpaid interest), approximately 20.5 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock of Magellan (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). Accordingly, the Company distributed, as of the Effective Date, approximately 32.83 shares per $1,000 of principal amount of such notes (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof were issued or paid). The Ordinary Common Stock share distribution amount has been adjusted during 2004 and is subject to adjustmentsfurther adjustment as set forth below.

        As ofIn accordance with the Effective Date, the Company estimated that total claims ofPlan, Other GUCs would be approximately $78 million (including unresolved disputed claims). Under the Plan, and based upon this total estimated claim value, such creditor class was estimated to receivereceived in satisfaction of their claims (including any unpaid interest accrued thereon) the following consideration for each $1,000 of claim value: (i) $50.34 in cash, (ii) $254.99 of Series B of the Senior Notes ("(“Series B Notes"Notes”), and (iii) 22.41 shares of Ordinary Common Stock (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof were or will be issued or paid), for an aggregate of 1.8 million shares (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). AsReflected on the Company’s balance sheet as of March 4,December 31, 2003 and 2004 the Company has issuedwere approximately $5.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of Series B Notes for the settled claims of Other GUCs. Also, the Company issued $1.8 million of Series B Notes as partial consideration for services performed by one of the financial advisers involved with the reorganization efforts. The Series B Notes portionsconsideration for claims of certain other claims of Other GUCs werewas settled for cash, based upon claim settlement terms between the Company and such individual general unsecured creditors.claimants. The Ordinary Common Stock share distribution amount has been adjusted during 2004 and is subject to further adjustment as set forth below.


        The Company currently estimates thatAs of February 22, 2005, the total claim valueamount of outstanding, disputed claims for Other GUCs is $6.3 million (“Disputed Claims”). The Company does not believe that it is probable that liability for the Disputed Claims will ultimately be resolved for approximately $55.0 million, of which $50.5 millionincurred, and thus no liability has been settledrecorded for the Disputed Claims as of March 4,December 31, 2004. IfNonetheless, the claims of Other GUCs are ultimately resolved for the Company's current estimate of $55.0 million, the Other GUCs would receive additional consideration of approximately 0.53Company has reserved, but treated as outstanding, 144,437 shares of Ordinary Common Stock per $1,000 of claim value (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereofwhich will be issued or paid) anddistributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan to holders of claims on the Old Subordinated Notes would receive an additional

5



0.77 sharesor Other GUCs (including holders of Ordinary Common Stock per $1,000Disputed Claims to the extent their claims are allowed) upon the final resolution of principalthe Disputed Claims, subject, however, to adjustment on account of Cash-Out Elections as described below.  If the Disputed Claims were to be resolved for their full amount of such notes (although no fractional shares or$6.3 million, then the Company would also be required to issue to the individual claimants that filed the Disputed Claims additional consideration of $0.3 million in cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid).and Series B Notes of $1.6 million.

Also on the Effective Date, the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of Magellan were cancelled, three new classes of capital stock were authorized and Magellan'sMagellan’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated. Specifically, 100 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Ordinary Common Stock"), and 40 million shares of Multiple and Variable Vote Restricted Convertible Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("(“Multi-Vote Common Stock"Stock”) were authorized, as were 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), that are issuable at the discretion of the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law in one or more series with such powers, privileges and rights as may be determined by the Board (except that no non-voting shares shall be issued). No shares of Preferred Stock were issued or are to be issued under the Plan. Shares of the Multi-Vote Common Stock may only be issued to, and held by, Onex Corporation, a Canadian corporation, or an affiliate thereof (collectively, "Onex"“Onex”). As described below, Onex, in connection with the Plan, invested in the equity of Magellan in the form of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. Upon transfer of any shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock to any party other than Onex, the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will automatically convert on a share-for-share basis into shares of Ordinary Common Stock. In addition, any shares of Ordinary Common Stock that Onex may come to own at any time when the Multi-Vote Common Stock is outstanding will automatically convert into shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock.

In general, the Multi-Vote Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock have the same powers, privileges and rights, and each share represents an equivalent interest in Magellan'sMagellan’s equity, except that the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will have the number of votes per share from time to time sufficient so that all the outstanding shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will have an equal number of votes as all the outstanding shares of Ordinary Common Stock (i.e., the Multi-Vote Common Stock will be entitled to exercise 50 percent of the voting power of all the classes of common stock of Magellan). The Multi-Vote Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock also differ in that each class has different voting rights in the election of directors and certain other voting rights and other special rights and privileges. The Multi-Vote Common Stock will cease to have any special voting rights or any other special rights or powers in the event the outstanding shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock cease to represent at least 15.33 percent of the total number of shares of common stock (both Ordinary Common Stock and Multi-Vote Common Stock) issued on the Effective Date (approximately 35.1 million shares) or at least 10 percent of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding at any time (the "Minimum“Minimum Hold Condition"Condition”). For furtherAdditional information regarding the voting rights of the Ordinary Common Stock and the Multi-Vote Common Stock, seewhich would otherwise be reflected in Item 10—"Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant—Director ElectionRegistrant,” is incorporated by reference from the Company’s Proxy Statement related to its 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which Proxy Statement will be filed with the U.S. Securities and TermsExchange Commission no later than April 30, 2005. Shares of Office".the Ordinary Common Stock and Multi-Vote Common Stock are referred to below collectively as “Shares of Common Stock.”

6,052,632 shares of Ordinary Common Stock for a total purchase price of $75 million ($12.39 per share). The Company also received as part of the Plan a commitment from Onex to purchase on the same terms anya number of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock equal to the amount of shares of Ordinary Common Stock not purchased in the Equity Offering by the creditors to whom such shares were offered. Pursuant to the equity offering included in the Plan, creditors purchased 5,111,019 shares of Ordinary Common Stock and Onex purchased 941,613 shares.shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock.

In addition, Onex committed, under the Plan, to fund an offer made by Magellan pursuant to the Plan to holders of its Old Subordinated Notes and to the Company'sCompany’s other general unsecured creditors permitting them to elect to receive $9.78 in cash per share in lieu of the shares of Ordinary Common Stock they would otherwise receive under the Plan (the "Cash-Out Election"“Cash-Out Election”). Onex committed to fund the Cash-Out Election by purchasing that amount of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock at $9.78 per

6

As of the Effective Date,December 31, 2003, Onex had purchased 1,421,335 shares pursuant to this commitment. Also pursuant to this commitment, Onexand committed to purchase subsequent to the Effective Date, up to an additional 137,1208,552,700 shares as a result of the settlement of claims that had elected the Cash-Out Election but were disputed and unresolved at the Effective Date.

Undercontract, relating to the renewed agreement, the Company will continue to manageCompany’s management of the behavioral health care of members of Aetna'sAetna’s healthcare programs through December 31, 2005. On December 8, 2004, the Company was informed that Aetna planned to not renew such contract as of December 31, 2005, with anand that Aetna planned to exercise its option for Aetna at that time to either extend the agreement or to purchase, on December 31, 2005, certain assets of the Company used solely in the management of the behavioral healthcare of Aetnahealth care services for Aetna’s members (the "Aetna-Dedicated Assets"“Aetna Assets”).

History

Prior to June 1997, the Company'sCompany’s primary business was the operation of psychiatric hospitals. In addition, the Company operated, through its human services segment, specialty home-based healthcare services.

In Junelate 1997 and early 1998, the Company sold substantially allcompleted its acquisition of its domestic psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment facilities (collectively, the "Psychiatric Hospital Facilities") to Crescent Real Estate ("Crescent"), and, with Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COI"), an affiliate of Crescent, formed Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS") to conduct the operations of the Psychiatric Hospital Facilities through a franchising arrangement with the Company. The Company maintained a 50.0 percent ownership of CBHS; the other 50.0 percent of the ownership interest of CBHS was owned by COI.

        In December 1995, the Company acquired a 61.0 percent ownership interest in Green Spring Health Services, Inc. ("(“Green Spring"Spring”), a managed behavioral healthcare company specializing in mental health and substance abuse/dependence services, and in January 1998, acquired the remaining 39.0 percent. In December 1997, the Company purchased from Aetna, Human Affairs International, Incorporated ("HAI"(“HAI”), which managed behavioral healthcare programs primarily through EAPs and other managed behavioral healthcare plans. In February 1998, the Companyplans, and acquired Merit Behavioral Care Corporation ("Merit"(“Merit”), which managed behavioral healthcare programs across all segments of the healthcare industry, including health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), Blue Cross/Blue Shield organizations and other insurance companies, corporations and labor unions, federal, state and local governmental agencies and various state Medicaid programs.industry.

In AprilSeptember 1999, the Company sold its European psychiatric provider operations, and in September 1999, completed its exit from the healthcare provider and franchising businesses by transferring certain assets and other interests pursuant tobusinesses. In October 2000, the Company adopted a Letter Agreement with Crescent, COI and CBHS (the "CBHS Transaction"). See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. The CBHS Transaction, together with the formal plan of disposal authorized byto exit from the Company'sbusinesses included in the Company’s specialty managed healthcare. In January 2001, the Board of Directors on September 2, 1999 (the measurement date)approved the sale of


the stock of National Mentor, Inc. (“Mentor”), which represented the disposal ofbusiness and interests that comprised the Company's healthcare provider and healthcareCompany’s human services segment.

9



franchisingThe Company accounted for the exits from these business segments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting“Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("Transactions” (“APB 30"30”).

        On October 4, 2000, the Company adopted a formal plan to exit from the businesses included in the Company's specialty managed healthcare segment through the sale and/or abandonment of these businesses and related assets. The specialty managed healthcare segment included the businesses acquired in conjunction with the purchase of Vivra, Inc. ("Vivra"), which was consummated in February 2000 and Allied Specialty Care Services, Inc. ("Allied"), which was consummated in December 1997. The Company exited the specialty managed healthcare business via sale and/or abandonment of businesses and related assets, certain of which activities had already occurred in the normal course prior to October 4, 2000. See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

        On January 18, 2001, the Board of Directors approved, and the Company entered into a definitive agreement for, the sale of the stock of National Mentor, Inc. ("Mentor"), which represented the business and interests that comprised the Company's human services segment. The human services the Company provided through Mentor included specialty home-based healthcare services provided through "mentor" homes, as well as residential and day treatment services for individuals with acquired brain injuries and for individuals with developmental disabilities. See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

As a result of these transactions, the Company'sCompany’s sole business is the managed behavioral healthcare business.

Due primarily to the debt-financed acquisitions noted above, and the subsequent disposal activities, the Company had amassed over $1.0 billion in total debt as of September 30, 2002. Although the Company believed it had sufficient cash on hand to meet its then current operating obligations, the Company did not believe it had sufficient cash on hand or capacity to borrow under the Old Credit Agreement to pay scheduled interest and to make contingent purchase price payments. Based on market trends and forecasted level of operations, the Company concluded that it could no longer support the existing capital structure. Therefore, the Company'sCompany’s management determined to restructure its debt to levels that were more in line with its operations. On March 11, 2003, the Company and 88 of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in order to accomplish such restructuring.

Industry

According to the final report,Achieving “Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America, from” issued by the President'sPresident’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (established on April 29, 2002 by Executive Order 13263) (the "Commission Report"“Commission Report”), approximately 5 percent to 7 percent of adults in a given year have a "serious“serious mental illness",illness,” defined as any diagnosable mental disorder that affects work, home or other areas of social functioning; and approximately 5 percent to 9 percent of children have a "serious“serious emotional disturbance"disturbance” defined as any diagnosable mental disorder (in a child under 18) that severely disrupts social, academic and emotional functioning. In addition, according to the Commission Report, mental illness ranks first among all diseases in terms of causing disability in the United States, Canada and Western Europe. In 1997, the latest year for which comparable data is available, spending in the United States on the treatment of mental illness totaled almost $71 billion. In addition, the Commission Report states that the annual economic, indirect cost of mental illness is estimated to be $79 billion, of which approximately $63 billion represents the loss of productivity as a result of illnesses.

Managed behavioral healthcare companies such as the Company were formed to address the behavioral health needs of society. Managed behavioral healthcare companies focus on matching an

10



appropriate level of specialist and treatment setting with the behavioral health treatment needs of the patient to provide care in a cost-efficient manner while improving early access to care and utilizing the most modern and effective treatments. As the growth of managed behavioral healthcare increased, there was a significant decrease in occupancy rates and average lengths of stay for inpatient psychiatric facilities and an increase in outpatient treatment and alternative care services.


According to an industry trade publication entitled "Open“Open Minds Yearbook of Managed Behavioral Health Market Share in the United States 2002-2003"2002-2003” published by Open Minds, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred to as "Open Minds"“Open Minds”), as of January 2002 (the most recently available data), some form of managed behavioral healthcare plan covered approximately 227.1 million beneficiaries.Open Minds divides the managed behavioral healthcare industry as of January 2002 into the following categories of care, based on services provided, extent of care management and level of risk assumption:

The following is a summary of each of these categories of care as defined byOpen Minds:Minds:

Risk-Based Network Products.Under risk-based network products, the managed behavioral healthcare company manages the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services through a contracted network of behavioral healthcare providers and assumes all or a portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing such services. Most of these programs have payment arrangements in which the managed care company receives a fixed fee per member per month (that varies depending on the profile of the beneficiary population). Under these products, the managed behavioral healthcare company not only reviews and monitors a course of treatment, but also arranges and pays for the provision of patient care, usually through a network of specialized providers and facilities that is contracted and managed by the managed care company. This product generally provides higher revenue for the managed behavioral healthcare company, due to the fact that it bears the financial responsibility for the cost of delivering care. The Company'sCompany’s risk-based products are risk-based network products as(as defined byOpen Minds.Minds).

Employee Assistance Programs.An EAP is a product sold directly to employers that is designed to assist in the early identification and resolution of productivity problems associated with behavioral conditions or other personal concerns of employees and their dependants. Under an EAP, staff or network providers or other affiliated clinicians provide assessment and referral services to employee beneficiaries and their dependants. These services consist of evaluating a beneficiary'sbeneficiary’s needs and, if indicated, providing limited counseling and/or identifying an appropriate provider, treatment facility or other resource for more intensive treatment services. The EAP industry developed largely out of employers'employers’ efforts to combat alcoholism and substance abuse problems afflicting workers. Many businesses have expanded beyond alcoholism and drug abuse treatment programs in the workplace to cover a wider spectrum of personal problems experienced by workers and their families, such as depression and anxiety disorders. As a result, EAP products now typically include consultation services, evaluation and referral services and employee education and outreach services and employers increasingly regard EAPs as an important component in the continuum of behavioral healthcare services. The Company categorizes its products within this segment of the managed behavioral healthcare industry (as defined byOpen Minds)Minds) as risk-based products.

11



Integrated EAP/Managed Behavioral Healthcare Products.Integrated Products combine the preventive and early intervention EAP products with the more comprehensive managed behavioral healthcare programs. Integrated products offer employers comprehensive management and treatment of all aspects of behavioral healthcare. The managed behavioral healthcare program component of the Integrated Product can be risk-based or non-risk-based. The Company categorizes its products within this


segment of the managed behavioral healthcare industry (as defined byOpen Minds)Minds) as risk-based products.

Utilization Review/Care Management Products.Under utilization review/care management products, a managed behavioral healthcare company manages and often arranges for treatment, but does not maintain a network of providers or assume any of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services. The Company categorizes its products within this segment of the managed behavioral healthcare industry (as it is defined byOpen Minds) as ASO products.

Non-Risk-Based Network Products.Under non-risk-based network products, the managed behavioral healthcare company manages the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services through a contracted network of behavioral healthcare providers but does not assume any of the responsibility for the cost of providing such services. Under these products, the managed care company provides a full array of managed care services, including selecting, credentialing and managing a network of providers, and performs utilization review, claims administration and care management functions. However, the customer remains responsible for the cost of providing the treatment services rendered. The Company categorizes its products within this segment of the managed behavioral healthcare industry (as it is defined byOpen Minds)Minds) as ASO products.

out” behavioral healthcare from their general healthcare services and subcontract such services to managed behavioral healthcare companies such as the Company. In the Health Plan Solutions segment, the Company'sCompany’s members are the beneficiaries of the health plan (the employees and

15



dependents of the customer of the health plan), for which the behavioral healthcare services have been carved out to the Company.

Employer Solutions.The Company'sCompany’s Employer Solutions segment generally reflects the provision of EAP services, managed behavioral healthcare services and integrated products under contracts with employers, including corporations and governmental agencies, and labor unions. This segment'ssegment’s managed behavioral healthcare services are primarily ASO products.

Public Sector Solutions.The Company'sCompany’s Public Sector Solutions segment generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services provided to Medicaid recipients under contracts with state and local governmental agencies. This segment'ssegment’s contracts encompass both risk-based and ASO contracts. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Dependence on Government Spending for Managed Healthcare"Healthcare”; "—“—Possible Impact of Healthcare Reform"Reform” and "—Regulation".“—Government Regulation.”

Customer Contracts

The Company'sCompany’s contracts with customers typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer'scustomer’s option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified events. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts notwithstanding terms to the contrary, generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made. The Company'sCompany’s contracts generally provide for payment of a per member per month fee to the Company. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Risk-Related Products"Products” and "—“—Reliance on Customer Contracts".Contracts.”

Provider Network

The Company'sCompany’s managed behavioral healthcare and EAP treatment services are provided by a network of third-party providers, including behavioral healthcare professionals and facilities. The number and type of providers in a particular area depend upon customer preference, site, geographic concentration and demographic make-upcomposition of the beneficiary population in that area. Network behavioral healthcare professionals include a variety of specialized behavioral healthcare personnel, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, substance abuse counselors and other professionals. Network facilities include psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities and other treatment facilities.

The Company'sCompany’s managed behavioral healthcare network consists of overapproximately 63,000 behavioral healthcare professionals, including facility locations, providing various levels of care nationwide. The Company'sCompany’s network providers are almost exclusively independent contractors located throughout the local areas in which the Company's customers'Company’s customers’ beneficiary populations reside. Network providers work out of their own offices, although the Company'sCompany’s personnel are available to assist them with consultation and other needs. Network providers include both individual practitioners, as well as individuals who are members of group practices or other licensed centers or programs. Network providers typically execute standard contracts with the Company under which they are paid on a fee-for-service basis. In some limited cases, network providers are paid on a "case rate"“case rate” basis, whereby the provider is paid a set rate for an entire course of treatment, or on a subcapitationper member per month basis or other risk sharing arrangements.risk-sharing arrangement.


The Company'sCompany’s managed behavioral healthcare network also includes contractual arrangements with third-party treatment facilities, including inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, intensive outpatient facilities, partial hospitalization facilities, community health centers and other community-based facilities, rehabilitative and support facilities and other intermediate care and

16



alternative care facilities or programs. This variety of facilities enables the Company to offer patients a full continuum of care and to refer patients to the most appropriate facility or program within that continuum. Typically, the Company contracts with facilities on a per diem or fee-for-service basis and, in some limited cases, on a "case rate"“case rate” or capitated basis. The contracts between the Company and inpatient and other facilities typically are for one-year terms and are terminable by the Company or the facility upon 30 to 120 days'days’ notice.

Competition

The Company'sCompany’s business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other managed behavioral healthcare organizations as well as with insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, third-party administrators ("TPAs"(“TPAs”), independent practitioner associations ("IPAs"(“IPAs”), multi-disciplinary medical groups and other managed care companies. Many of the Company'sCompany’s competitors, particularly certain insurance companies and HMOs, are significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, and some of the Company'sCompany’s competitors provide a broader range of services.


The Company may also encounter competition in the future from new market entrants. ManyIn addition, some of the Company'sCompany’s customers that are managed care companies may seek to provide managed behavioral healthcare services directly to their subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company

17



for such services. Because of these factors, the Company does not expect to be able to rely solely on price increases to achieve revenue growth and expects to continue experiencing pricing pressures. Also, the Company was adversely affected in its ability to successfully compete in certain circumstances during its financial restructuring process.

The Company believes it benefits from the competitive strengths described below:

Industry Leadership.The Company believes that it is the largest provider of managed behavioral healthcare services in the United States, according toconsistent with the enrollment data reported inOpen Minds. TheMinds. In addition, the Company believes, based on data reported inOpen Minds,, that it also has the number one market position in each of the major managed behavioral healthcare product markets in which it competes. The Company believes this leadership position provides it with a base of treatment experience and expertise that is unmatched by any competitor and provides a value proposition that customers are seeking. The Company also believes there are certain economies of scale resulting from its large membership base and the Company continues to strive to achieve operating efficiencies in order to better capitalize on such economies. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Competition",Competition,” for a discussion of the risks associated with the highly competitive nature of the managed behavioral healthcare industry.

Broad Product Offering and Nationwide Provider Network.The Company offers managed behavioral care products that can be designed to meet specific customer needs, including risk-based and partial risk-based products, integrated EAPs, stand-alone EAPs and ASO products. The Company'sCompany’s managed behavioral healthcare network consists of overapproximately 63,000 behavioral healthcare providers, including professionals at all levels of care, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, substance abuse counselors and other professionals, and facilities at all points of the spectrum of behavioral heath services such as psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The Company believes the breadth and depth of its provider network is a competitive asset. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Risk-Related Products",Products,” for a discussion of the risks associated with risk-based products, which are the Company'sCompany’s primary source of revenue.

Broad Base of Customer Relationships.The Company'sCompany’s customers include: (i) Blue Cross/Blue Shield organizations; (ii) national HMOs and other mid-sized insurers; (iii) large corporations; (iv) state and local governmental agencies and (v) certain agencies of the federal government. The Company believes that its broad base of customer relationships provides the Company with opportunities for additional business from these customers. The Company also believes it has a unique array of customers that demonstrates credibility when competing for new business. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Reliance on Customer Contracts",Contracts,” for a discussion of the risks associated with the Company'sCompany’s reliance on certain contracts with payors of behavioral healthcare benefits.

Insurance

The Company maintainshas continuously maintained a program of insurance coverage for a broad range of risks in its business. As part of this program of insurance, the Company is self-insured for a portion of its general and current professional liability risks. Prior to July 1999, the Company maintained certain reserves related primarily to the professional liability risks of the Company’s healthcare provider segment arising prior to the sale of its domestic acute-care psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment facilities to Crescent Real Estate Equities in fiscal 1997. On July 2, 1999, the Company transferred its remaining medical malpractice claims portfolio (the “Loss Portfolio Transfer”) to a third-party insurer for approximately $22.3 million. The Loss Portfolio Transfer was funded from assets restricted for settlement of unpaid claims. The insurance limit obtained through the Loss Portfolio Transfer for future medical malpractice claims is $26.3 million. The Company maintained general, professionalcontinually evaluates the adequacy of these insured


limits and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers covering the two-year period from June 17, 2000 to June 16, 2002. The policies were written on a "claims-made" basis, subject to a $0.25 million per claim and $1.0 million annual aggregate self-insured retention for general and professional liability, and also subject to a $0.5 million per claim and $2.5 million annual aggregate self-insured retention for managed care liability. management believes these amounts are sufficient; however, there can be no assurance in that regard.

The Company recently renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers for the one-year period from June 17, 2002 to June 16, 2003. These policies were also written on a "claims-made" basis, and were subject to a $1.0 million per claim ($5.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care liability and a $0.25 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for general and professional liability. The Company currently maintains general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers for a one-year period from June 17, 20032004 to June 17, 2004.2005. The general liability policies are

18



written on an “occurrence” basis, subject to a $0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability and managed care errors and omissions liability policies are written on a "claims-made"“claims-made” basis, subject to a $1.25 million per claim ($10.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care liability, and a $0.25$0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for general and professional liability. The Company also purchases excess liability coverage in an amount deemedthat management believes to be reasonable by management for the size and profile of the organization. The Company is responsible for claims within its self-insured retentions, for those claims, or portions thereof, that exceed the Company's policy limits and for claims reported after the expiration date of the policies if they are not renewed. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Professional Liability and Other Insurance",Insurance,” for a discussion of the risks associated with the Company'sCompany’s insurance coverage.

Regulation

General.The managed behavioral healthcare industry is subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulation. The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations, including those governing the licensing of insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, TPAs and companies engaged in utilization review. In addition, the Company is subject to regulations concerning the licensing of healthcare professionals, including restrictions on business corporations from providing, controlling or exercising excessive influence over behavioral healthcare services through the direct employment of psychiatrists or, in a fewcertain states, psychologists and other behavioral healthcare professionals. These laws and regulations vary considerably among states and the Company may be subject to different types of laws and regulations depending on the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state to regulate the managed care business and the provision of behavioral healthcare treatment services. In addition, the Company is subject to certain federal laws as a result of the role it assumes in connection with managing its customers'customers’ employee benefit plans. The regulatory scheme generally applicable to the Company'sCompany’s managed behavioral healthcare operations is described in this section. The subjects of these regulations include Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse.

The Company believes its operations are structured to comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects and that it has received all licenses and approvals that are material to the operation of the business. However, regulation of the managed healthcare industry is constantly evolving, with new legislative enactments and regulatory initiatives at the state and federal levels being implemented on a regular basis. Consequently, it is possible that a court or regulatory agency may take a position under existing or future laws or regulations, or as a result of a change in the interpretation thereof, that such laws or regulations apply to the Company in a different manner than the Company believes such laws or regulations apply. Moreover, any such position may require significant alterations to the Company'sCompany’s business operations in order to comply with such laws or regulations, or interpretations thereof. Expansion of the Company'sCompany’s business to cover additional geographic areas, to serve different types of customers, to provide new services or to commence new operations could also subject the Company to additional license requirements and/or regulation.

Licenses.Certain regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company possess discretionary powers when issuing or renewing licenses or granting approval of proposed actions such as mergers, a change in ownership, transfer or assignment of licenses and certain intra-corporate transactions. One or multiple agencies may require as a condition of such license or approval that the Company cease or modify certain of its operations or modify the way it operates in order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements or policies. In addition, the time necessary to obtain a license or approval varies from state to state, and difficulties in obtaining a necessary license or approval may result in delays in the Company'sCompany’s plans to expand operations in a particular state and, in some cases, lost business opportunities. In recent


years, in response to governmental agency inquiries or discussions with regulators, the Company has determined to seek licensing as a single service HMO, TPA or utilization review agent in one or more jurisdictions. Compliance activities, mandated changes in the Company'sCompany’s operations, delays in the expansion of the Company'sCompany’s business or lost business opportunities as a result of regulatory requirements or policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

19



Insurance, HMO and PPO Activities.To the extent that the Company operates or is deemed to operate in one or more states as an insurance company, HMO, preferred provider organization ("PPO")PPO or similar entity, it may be required to comply with certain laws and regulations that, among other things, may require the Company to maintain certain types of assets and minimum levels of deposits, capital, surplus, reserves or net worth. In many states, entities that assume risk under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, the Company has not sought licenses as either an insurer or HMO in certain states. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the "NAIC"“NAIC”) has undertaken a comprehensive review of the regulatory status of entities arranging for the provision of healthcare services through a network of providers that, like the Company, may assume risk for the cost and quality of healthcare services, but that are not currently licensed as an HMO or similar entity. As a result of this review, the NAIC developed a "health“health organizations risk-based capital"capital” formula, designed specifically for managed care organizations, that establishes a minimum amount of capital necessary for a managed care organization to support its overall operations, allowing consideration for the organization'sorganization’s size and risk profile. The NAIC also adopted a model regulation in the area of health plan standards, which could be adopted by individual states in whole or in part, and could result in the Company being required to meet additional or new standards in connection with its existing operations. Certain states, for example, have adopted regulations based on the NAIC initiative, and as a result, the Company has been subject to certain minimum capital requirements in those states. Certain other states, such as Maryland, Texas, New York and New Jersey, have also adopted their own regulatory initiatives that subject entities such as the Company'sCompany’s subsidiaries to regulation under state insurance laws. This includes, but is not limited to, requiring adherence to specific financial solvency standards. State insurance laws and regulations may limit the Company'sCompany’s ability to pay dividends, make certain investments and repay certain indebtedness. Being licensed as an insurance company, HMO or similar entity could also subject the Company to regulations governing reporting and disclosure, mandated benefits, rate setting and other traditional insurance regulatory requirements. PPO regulations to which the Company may be subject may require the Company to register with a state authority and provide information concerning its operations, particularly relating to provider and payor contracting. The imposition of such requirements could increase the Company'sCompany’s cost of doing business and could delay the Company'sCompany’s conduct or expansion of its business in some areas. The licensing process under state insurance laws can be lengthy and, unless the applicable state regulatory agency allows the Company to continue to operate while the licensing process is ongoing, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its operating results and financial condition while its license application is pending. In addition, failure to obtain and maintain required licenses typically also constitutes an event of default under the Company'sCompany’s contracts with its customers. The loss of business from one or more of the Company'sCompany’s major customers as a result of such an event of default or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Regulators may impose operational restrictions on entities granted licenses to operate as insurance companies or HMOs. For example, the California Department of CorporationsManaged Health Care imposed certain restrictions on the Company in connection with the issuance of an approval of the Company'sCompany’s acquisitions of HAI and Merit, including restrictions on the ability of the California subsidiaries of HAI and Merit to fund the Company'sCompany’s operations in other states and on the Company'sCompany’s ability to make certain operational changes with respect to the subsidiaries of HAI and Merit in California.

In addition, regulators of certain of the Company'sCompany’s subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under regulations including increasing its supervision of such entities, requiring additional restricted


cash or other security or seizing or otherwise taking control of the assets and operations of such subsidiaries. In particular, the State of California has taken certain actions to increase its supervision of the Company's regulated subsidiaries in California due primarily to the Company's financial condition prior to the bankruptcy filing.

Utilization Review and Third-Party Administrator Activities.Numerous states in which the Company does business have adopted, or are expected to adopt, regulations governing entities engaging in utilization review and TPA activities. Utilization review regulations typically impose requirements with respect to the qualifications of personnel reviewing proposed treatment, timeliness and notice of the review of proposed treatment and other matters. TPA regulations typically impose requirements regarding claims processing and payments and the handling of customer funds. Utilization review and TPA regulations may increase the Company'sCompany’s cost of doing business in the event that compliance requires the Company to retain additional personnel to meet the regulatory requirements and to take other required actions and make necessary filings. Although compliance with utilization review regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company, there can be no assurance that specific regulations adopted in the future would not have such a result, particularly since the nature, scope and specific requirements of such provisions vary considerably among states that have adopted regulations of this type.

There is a trend among states to require licensing or certification of entities performing utilization review or TPA activities. However, certain federal courts have held that such licensing requirements are preempted by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"(“ERISA”). ERISA preempts state laws that mandate employee benefit structures or their administration, as well as those that provide alternative enforcement mechanisms. The Company believes that its TPA activities performed for its self-insured employee benefit plan customers are exempt from otherwise applicable state licensing or registration requirements based upon federal preemption under ERISA and have relied on this general principle in determining not to seek licenses for certain of the Company'sCompany’s activities in many states. Existing case law is not uniform on the applicability of ERISA preemption with respect to state regulation of utilization review or TPA activities. There can be no assurance that additional licenses will not be required with respect to utilization review or TPA activities in certain states.

Licensing of Healthcare Professionals.The provision of behavioral healthcare treatment services by psychiatrists, psychologists and other providers is subject to state regulation with respect to the licensing of healthcare professionals. The Company believes that the healthcare professionals who provide behavioral healthcare treatment on behalf of or under contracts with the Company and the case managers and other personnel of the health services business are in compliance with the applicable state licensing requirements and current interpretations thereof. However, there can be no assurance that changes in such state licensing requirements or interpretations thereof will not adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s existing operations or limit expansion. With respect to the Company'sCompany’s crisis intervention program, additional licensing of clinicians who provide telephonic assessment or stabilization services to individuals who are calling from out-of-state may be required if such assessment or stabilization services are deemed by regulatory agencies to be treatment provided in the state of such individual'sindividual’s residence. The Company believes that any such additional licenses could be obtained. However, there can be no assurance that such licensing requirements will not adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s existing operations or limit expansion.

Prohibition on Fee Splitting and Corporate Practice of Professions.The laws of some states limit the ability of a business corporation to directly provide, control or exercise excessive influence over behavioral healthcare services through the direct employment of psychiatrists, psychologists, or other behavioral healthcare professionals, who are providing direct clinical services. In addition, the laws of some states prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists, or other healthcare professionals from splitting fees with other persons or entities. These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and enforcement by the courts and regulatory authorities may vary from state to state and may change over time. The Company believes that its operations as currently conducted are in material compliance with the applicable laws. However, there can be no assurance that the Company'sCompany’s existing operations and its contractual arrangements with psychiatrists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals will not be successfully


challenged under state laws prohibiting fee splitting or the practice of a profession by an unlicensed entity, or that the enforceability of such contractual arrangements will not be limited. The

21



Company believes that it could, if necessary, restructure its operations to comply with changes in the interpretation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, and that such restructuring would not have a material adverse effect on its operations.

Direct Contracting with Licensed Insurers.Regulators in several states in which the Company does business have adopted policies that require HMOs or, in some instances, insurance companies, to contract directly with licensed healthcare providers, entities or provider groups, such as IPAs, for the provision of treatment services, rather than with unlicensed intermediary companies. In such states, the Company'sCompany’s customary model of contracting directly with its customers may need to be modified so that, for example, the IPAs (rather than the Company) contract directly with the HMO or insurance company, as appropriate, for the provision of treatment services. The Company intends to work with a number of these HMO customers to restructure existing contractual arrangements, upon contract renewal or in renegotiations, so that the entity, which contracts with the HMO directly, is an IPA. The Company does not expect this method of contracting to have a material adverse effect on its operations.

HIPAA.Confidentiality and patient privacy requirements are particularly strict in the field of behavioral healthcare. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"(“HIPAA”) requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"(“HHS”) to adopt standards relating to the transmission, privacy and security of health information by healthcare providers and healthcare plans. In connection with HIPAA, calls for HHSthe Company commissioned a dedicated HIPAA project management office to create regulationsachieve compliance within the required timeframes. The Company believes it is currently in several different areascompliance with those provisions of HIPAA currently requiring compliance relating to address the following: electronic transactions and code sets, privacy security, provider IDs,and the use of employer IDs, health plan IDs and individual IDs. At present, all but the health plan IDs and individual IDs have been released in final form. The Company commissioned a dedicated HIPAA Project Management Office ("PMO") to coordinate participation from its customers, providers and business partners in achieving compliance with these regulations. The Company, through the PMO, put together a dedicated HIPAA Project Team to develop, coordinate and implement the compliance plan. The PMO has been phased out as a separate department and these HIPAA compliance activities are now contained in the Company's Corporate Compliance Department. Additionally, the Company has identified business area leads and work group chairpersons to support and lead compliance efforts related to their areas of responsibility and expertise.

        The Transactions and Code Sets regulation is final and was effective October 16, 2003 for companies that filed for a one-year deferral that was permitted by law. The Company filed for the extension as permitted by law. This regulation establishes standard data content and formats for the submission of electronic claims and other administrative and health transactions. This regulation only applies to electronic transactions, and healthcare providers will still be able to submit paper documents without being subject to this regulation. In addition, health plans must be prepared to receive these various transactions. The Company has completed the development of a new electronic data interchange ("EDI") strategy, which it believes will significantly enhance its HIPAA compliance efforts. The Company has signed an agreement with an external EDI tool vendor to expand the Company's usage of EDI technology, developed a project plan and an accompanying resource requirements rationale and identified anomalies through mapping of the HIPAA standard transactions to the Company's various clinical, claim and provider systems.

        The final regulation on privacy was published on December 28, 2000 and accepted by Congress on February 16, 2001. This regulation, which became effective on April 14, 2001 with a compliance date of April 14, 2003, requires patient authorization to release healthcare information in certain situations, creates rules about how much and when information may be released and creates rights for patients to review and amend their health records, creates a requirement to notify members of privacy practices and also requires that entities contract with their downstream business associates using standards required by the regulation. This regulation applies to both electronic and paper transactions. A new proposed modification to this rule was published on March 27, 2002 in the federal register with a 30-day comment period. This proposal sought to change some of the areas of the privacy regulation

22



that had an unintended adverse effect on the provision of care. The final modification to the privacy regulation was published in the August 14, 2002 Federal Register. The compliance date for the privacy regulation, including these changes was April 14, 2003. The Company has developed and implemented various measures to address areas such as confidential communications, accounting of disclosures, right of access and amendment, identifying and contracting with business associates, creation of HIPAA compliant policies and information technology upgrades. The Company believes that its business and operations are structured to comply with all applicable provisions of the privacy regulations.

        The draft version of the regulation on security was published on August 12, 1998. The final version of this rule was published on February 20, 2003 with a compliance date of April 21, 2005. This regulation creates safeguards for physical and electronic storage of, maintenance and transmission of, and access to, individual health information. Although the final security regulation was just released this year, the Company began compliance efforts over two years ago by taking steps to address the requirements of the draft regulation through the implementation of technical, physical and administrative safeguards to enhance physical, personnel and information systems security.identification numbers. The Company has completed its review of the final regulationregulations relating to security and an extensive gap analysis, and is addressing the remaining compliance issues. The Company expects thatbelieves it will be fully compliant with the security regulation by the compliancerequired April 25, 2005 date.

        The HIPAA’s regulations regarding provider ID and employer ID regulations are similar in concept. The provider ID regulation was published in draft form on May 7, 1998 and would createidentifiers have a unique number for healthcare providers that will be used by all health plans. The employer ID regulation was published in draft form on June 16, 1998 and calls for using the Employer Identification Number (the taxpayer identifying number for employers that is assigned by the Internal Revenue Service) as the identifying number for employers that will be used by all health plans. The final regulation on employer IDs was published on May 31, 2002 with a compliance date of July 30, 2004. The final regulation on Provider IDs was published on January 23, 2004 with arequired compliance date of May 23, 2005.2005, with which the Company believes it will comply. The health plan ID and individual IDidentification number regulations have not yet been released in draft form.

        Management is currently assessing and acting on the wide reaching implications of these regulations to ensure the Company's compliance by the respective implementation dates. Management has identified HIPAA as a major initiative impacting the Company's systems, business processes and business relationships. This issue extends beyond the Company's internal operations and requires active participation and coordination with the Company's customers, providers and business partners. Management has commissioned a dedicated HIPAA project team to develop, coordinate and implement our compliance plan. With respect to the final regulations on security and privacy, thereleased. The Company has hired personnel dedicated to physical and information security issues, appointed an officer who will be responsible for privacy issues, commissioned separate security and privacy workgroups which identified and assessed the potential impact of the regulations and reviewed current policies and drafted new policiesintends to comply with the new requirements.such regulations as required.

Other Significant Privacy Regulation.The privacy regulation under HIPAA generally does not preempt state law except under the following limited circumstances: (i) the privacy rights afforded under state law are contrary to those provided by HIPAA so that compliance with both standards is not possible and (ii) HIPAA'sHIPAA’s privacy protections are more stringent than the state law in question. Because many states have privacy laws that either provide more stringent privacy protections than those imposed by HIPAA or laws that can be followed in addition to HIPAA, the Company must address privacy issues under HIPAA and state law as well. While the Company has always been required to follow state privacy laws, the Company now has had to review these state laws against HIPAA to determine whether it must comply with standards established by both HIPAA and state law. In addition, HIPAA has created an increased awareness of the issues surrounding privacy, which may generate more state regulatory scrutiny in this area.

Regulation of Customers.Regulations imposed upon the Company'sCompany’s customers include, among other things, benefits mandated by statute, exclusions from coveragescoverage prohibited by statute, procedures governing the payment and processing of claims, record keeping and reporting requirements, requirements for and payment rates applicable to coverage of Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, provider contracting and enrollee rights and confidentiality requirements. Although the Company believes that such regulations do not, at present, materially impair its operations, there can be no assurance that such indirect regulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.

ERISA.Certain of the Company'sCompany’s services are subject to the provisions of ERISA. ERISA governs certain aspects of the relationship between employer-sponsored healthcare benefit plans and certain


providers of services to such plans through a series of complex laws and regulations that are subject to periodic interpretation by the IRSInternal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the U.S. Department of Labor. In some circumstances, and under certain customer contracts, the Company may be expressly named as a "fiduciary"“fiduciary” under ERISA, or be deemed to have assumed duties that make it an ERISA fiduciary, and thus be required to carry out its operations in a manner that complies with ERISA requirements in all material respects. Although the Company believes that it is in material compliance with the applicable ERISA requirements and that such compliance does not currently have a material adverse effect on its operations, there can be no assurance that continuing ERISA compliance efforts or any future changes to the applicable ERISA requirements will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other Proposed Legislation.In the last five years, legislation has periodically been introduced at the state and federal levels providing for new healthcare regulatory programs and materially revising existing healthcare regulatory programs. Legislation of this type, if enacted, could materially adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Such legislation could include both federal and state bills affecting the Medicaid programs which may be pending in, or recently passed by, state legislatures and which are not yet available for review and analysis. Such legislation could also include proposals for national health insurance and other forms of federal regulation of health insurance and healthcare delivery. It is not possible at this time to predict whether any such legislation will be adopted at the federal or state level, or the nature, scope or applicability to the Company'sCompany’s business of any such legislation, or when any particular legislation might be implemented. No assurance can be given that any such federal or state legislation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other Regulation of Healthcare Providers.The Company'sCompany’s business is affected indirectly by regulations imposed upon healthcare providers. Regulations imposed upon healthcare providers include provisions relating to the conduct of, and ethical considerations involved in, the practice of psychiatry, psychology, social work and related behavioral healthcare professions, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursements for patient services, Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse and, in certain cases, the common law duty to warn others of danger or to prevent patient self-injury.

Employees of the Registrant

Fresh Start Reporting.    DueReporting—The application of “fresh start” reporting makes it more difficult to compare the Reorganized Company'sCompany’s post-emergence operations and results to those in pre-emergence periods.

In conjunction with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Reorganized Company has implemented the "fresh start"“fresh start” reporting provisions of SOP 90-7, effective December 31, 2003. Fresh start reporting requires the Company to restate all assets and liabilities to reflect their respective fair values. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet as of, and subsequent to December 31, 2003 and the statement of operations for periods after the Reorganized Company'sCompany’s emergence from bankruptcy willare not be comparable to the consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Company'sCompany’s emergence from bankruptcy, which were prepared on a historical basis.

Restrictive Covenants in the Company’s Debt Agreements.    OnInstruments—Restrictions imposed by the Effective Date,Company’s debt agreements limit the Company entered into an indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes (the "Indenture"), as well as a new senior secured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). In general, the Credit AgreementCompany’s operating and the Indenture contain a number of covenants that limit management's discretion in the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries by restricting or limiting the Company's ability to, among other things:

    incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock;

    pay dividends and make other distributions;

    repurchase equity interests;

    prepay or amend subordinated debt;

    financial flexibility. These restrictions may adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s ability to finance itsthe Company’s future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in itsthe Company’s interest.

    The indenture governing the Company’s Senior Notes (the “Indenture”), and the terms of the Credit Agreement each contain covenants. These covenants limit management’s discretion in operating the Company’s business by restricting or limiting the Company’s ability, among other things, to:

    ·       incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock;


    ·       pay dividends and make other distributions;

    ·       repurchase equity interests;

    ·       prepay or amend subordinated debt;

    ·       create liens;

    ·       sell and otherwise dispose of assets;

    ·       acquire or merge or consolidate with another company; and

    ·       enter into some types of transactions with affiliates.

    These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the Company’s interest.

    The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests (as defined), including minimum consolidated EBITDA, interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios.tests. Failure to comply with such covenants, without waiver,do so, unless waived by the lenders under the Credit Agreement pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement and, in the event theif indebtedness under the Credit Agreement wereis accelerated, would give rise to defaults under substantiallymost or all of the Company'sCompany’s other debt agreements. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially allmost of the Company’s subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially allmost of the Company’s assets ofand the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets.

    Risk-Related Products—Because the Company provides services at a fixed fee, if the Company is unable to accurately predict and control behavioral healthcare costs, the subsidiary guarantors.Company’s profitability could decline.

            Risk-Related Products.The Company'sCompany’s revenues come primarily from arrangements under which itthe Company assumes all or a portion of the responsibility for the costcosts of providing a full or specified range of behavioral healthcare treatment services (excluding at present the cost of pharmaceuticals or other medication) to a specified beneficiary population in exchange generally, for a fixed per member per month fee. The Company refers to such arrangements as "risk-related contracts"“risk-related contracts” or "risk-related products". Revenues from such arrangements accounted for approximately 87.8 percent, 87.7“risk-related products.”  This type of arrangement provided 85.6 percent and 85.688.2 percent of the Company'sCompany’s net revenue in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, risk-related products accounted for approximately 87.7 percent and 87.2 percent, respectively,Profitability of the Company's net revenue. In order for suchthese contracts tocould be profitable,reduced if the Company mustis unable to accurately estimate the rate of service utilization by members enrolled under such contracts in order to obtainor the appropriate pricing and control the unit cost of such services when the Company prices its services. If the aggregate cost of behavioral healthcare treatment services provided to members under a contract together with the administrative costs incurred by the Company to operate such contract, exceeds the aggregate of the per member per month fees received by the Company under such contract, the Company will incur a loss with respect to such contract.loss. The Company'sCompany’s assumptions as toof these costs when the utilization ofCompany prices its services by rates and costs may not accurately and adequatelyultimately reflect actual utilization rates and costs, many aspects of which are beyond the control ofCompany’s control.

See Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the audited consolidatedCompany’s financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.as medical claims payable. Medical claims payable in the Company's financial statements, includes reserves for incurred but not reported, ("IBNR")or “IBNR” claims, which are estimatedclaims for covered services rendered by the Company.Company’s providers which have not yet been submitted to the Company for payment. The Company determines the amount of suchestimates and reserves for IBNR claims based on past claims payment experience, including the average interval between the date services are rendered and the date claims are paid and between the date services are rendered and the date the claims are received, enrollment data, utilization statistics, adjudication decisions, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated into contract specificcontract-specific reserve models. The estimates for submitted claims and IBNR claims are made on an accrual basis and adjusted in future periods as required. However,


    Factors that affect the Company’s ability to price its services, control  the Company’s costs or accurately make estimates of IBNR claims and other expenses for which the Company creates reserves may include changes in assumptions for medical costs caused by changes in actual experience (such asincluding:

    ·       changes in the delivery system,system;

    ·       changes in utilization patterns,patterns;

    ·       changes in the number of members seeking treatment;

    ·       unforeseen fluctuations in claims backlogsbacklogs;

    ·       increases in the costs of the services;

    ·       the occurrence of catastrophes;

    ·       regulatory changes;

    ·       changes in benefit plan design; and others) may ultimately prove these estimates inaccurate. During fiscal 2001,

    ·       implementation of new products by the Company recorded an adjustment (and corresponding income statement charge) of $15.0 million to its estimate of claims incurred in prior years based on the results of the reduction in claims inventory and other claims processing improvements. During fiscal 2002, the Company experienced net unfavorable prior fiscal year medical claims development of $6.4 million (unfavorable development of $8.6 million for the Health Plan Solutions segment partially offset by favorable development of $2.2 million for the Public Sector Solutions segment). During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company experienced net favorable prior fiscal year medical claims development of $3.7 million (composed of Health Plan Solutions segment of $1.3 million, Employer Solutions segment of $0.8 million and Public Sector Solutions segment of $1.6 million). During fiscal 2003, the Company experienced net favorable prior fiscal year medical claims development of

    26



    $11.9 million (composed of Health Plan Solutions segment of $11.4 million and Employer Solutions segment of $0.5 million). As of December 31, 2003, the Company believes that its medical claims payable balance of $177.1 million is adequate in order to satisfy ultimate claim liabilities incurred through December 31, 2003. Any adjustments to such estimates could adversely affect the Company's results of operations in future periods.

    If the Company'sCompany’s membership in risk-based business grows, itsthe Company’s exposure to potential losses from risk-related products will also be increased. Furthermore, certain

    Required Assurances of theseFinancial Resources—The Company’s liquidity, financial condition, prospects and profitability can be adversely affected by present or future state regulations and contractual requirements that the Company provide financial assurance of the Company’s ability to meet the Company’s obligations.

    Some of the Company’s contracts and certain state regulations limit the profits that the Company may earn on risk-related business and may require refunds if the loss experience is more favorable than that originally anticipated. Although experience varies on a contract-by-contract basis, historically, the Company's risk-related contracts have been profitable in the aggregate. However, the degree of profitability varies significantly from contract to contract. For example, the Company's Medicaid contracts with governmental entities generally tend to have direct profit margins that are lower than its other contracts. The most significant factor affecting the profitability of risk-related contracts is the ability to control direct service costs in relation to contract pricing.

As of December 31, 2003, the Reorganized Company had restricted cash and investments of approximately $161.9 million and letters of credit of approximately $56.2 million pursuant to such contracts and regulations. Such amounts are not available to the Company for general corporate purposes. Furthermore,has financial resources to meet the Company’s contractual obligations. Many of these state regulations also restrict the investment activity of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Some state regulations also restrict the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that offer risk-related products to pay dividends to the Company.Magellan. Additional state regulations could be promulgated whichthat would increase the amount of restricted cash or other security the Company would be required to maintain. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s customers may require additional restricted cash or other security with respect to the Company'sCompany’s obligations under itsthe Company’s contracts, including unpaidthe Company’s obligation to pay IBNR claims and other medical claims.claims not yet processed and paid   In addition, certain of the Company’s contracts and state regulations limit the profits that may be earned on risk-related business. The Company’s liquidity, financial condition, prospects and profitability could be adversely affected by the effects of such regulations and contractual provisions.

    Reliance on Customer Contracts.Contracts—The Company’s inability to renegotiate or extend expiring customer contracts, or the termination of customer contracts, could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, profitability and financial condition.    All

    Substantially all of the Company'sCompany’s net revenue is derived from contracts with payors of behavioral healthcare benefits. The Company's managed behavioral healthcare contracts typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer's option) providing for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated earlier). Substantially all of these contracts aremay be terminated immediately terminable with cause and many, including some of the Company'sCompany’s most significant contracts, are terminable without cause by the customer upon the provision of requisite notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days), or upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. The Company'sCompany’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 59.1 percent, 57.661.6 percent and 61.670.3 percent of the Company'sCompany’s net revenue forin the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003 respectively.

    with a health plan under which the Company managesmanaged the mental health and substance abuse services for certain of the beneficiaries of TRICARE, which subcontract expiresexpired on September 30, 2004 and willwas not be renewed.  The Company recognized net revenue from this subcontract of $61.5 million, $48.0 million and $47.3 millionAlso, as previously discussed in “Business—Emergence From Chapter 11,” the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company recognized net revenue from this contract of $12.7 million and $14.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

            The Company's two largest customer contracts are with Aetna and the State of Tennessee's TennCare program. The Company's managed behavioral contract with Aetna, accounted for approximately $315.6 million, $250.3 million and $193.6 millionwhich is one of consolidated net revenue in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 andCompany’s largest customers, will terminate on December 31, 2003, respectively.2005. The Company

    27



    recognized recorded net revenue from Aetna of $78.8$228.1 million and $54.8 million duringfor the three monthsfiscal year ended December 31, 20012004.

    The Company’s largest customer is the State of Tennessee’s TennCare program. The TennCare program provides health and 2002, respectively. The declines in Aetna revenue of approximately $56.7 million in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002, approximately $65.3 million in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001, and of approximately $24.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 as comparedother related benefits to the three months ended December 31, 2001, were mainly due to decreased membership as a result of Aetna intentionally reducing its membership levels in an effort to exit less profitable businesses.

            As described above in "Business—Emergence from Chapter 11," as part of the consummation of the Plan, Aetna and Magellan have renewed their contract, under which the Company will continue to manage the behavioral health care of Aetna's members through December 31, 2005, with an option for Aetna to either extend the agreement at that time or to purchase the assets usedMedicaid recipients in the operationState of the Aetna contract.

            Both theTennessee as well as to certain other uninsured individuals. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tennessee BehaviorialBehavioral Health, ("TBH"), and through Premier, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50.050 percent interest, separately contractcontracts with the State of Tennessee (the “State”) to manage the behavioral healthcare benefits for the State's TennCare program. In addition,The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, contracts with Premier to provide certain services toas the joint venture. The Company's direct TennCare contract (exclusiveprimary beneficiary of Premier's contract with TennCare) accounted for approximately $248.9 million, $237.5 million and $157.3 million of consolidated net revenue in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $60.0 million and $63.0 million of consolidated net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Such revenue amounts include revenue recognized by the Company associated with services performed on behalf of Premier totaling $102.0 million, $134.9 million and $39.8 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and $33.6 million and $34.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

            In September 2003,Premier. Effective July 1, 2004, the State of Tennessee issued a request for proposal ("RFP") relating todivided the TennCare program under which the program will be divided into three regions. The Company, through TBH, submittedTennessee Behavioral Health has a proposal forcontract to serve the East region only and was awarded the contract. The new contractRegion with respect to the East region will become effective July 1, 2004. When contract negotiations between the State and the vendor that had been awarded the contracts for the Middle and West regions were discontinued, the State asked TBH and Premier to continue with their current contracts for those regions through December 31, 2004. The East region contract has an initial term that runs through December 31, 2005 and includes a provision for annual extensions at the State'sState’s option through December 31, 2008. Each of Tennessee Behavioral Health and Premier has a contract with respect to the West and Central regions that runs through December 31, 2005. All three contracts are subject to appropriations funding on July 1, 2005. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded revenues from this customer under these contracts of approximately $431.5 million.

    On January 10, 2005, the Governor of Tennessee stated that, because of the increased costs of the TennCare program, the State will cease providing coverage to approximately 323,000 adults who do not qualify for Medicaid and limit benefits to be delivered under the TennCare program. The AetnaGovernor stated that he wishes to begin implementing such membership and benefit changes in March 2005 and complete them by the end of 2005. Certain advocacy groups have filed suits in attempts to prevent the Governor from implementing any membership and benefits reductions. A reduction in membership would, and benefit changes could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and profitability. However, because of the opposition to the Governor’s plan, and because, even if the Governor were to prevail the Company does not yet know which members would be eliminated from the program, the timing of the membership reductions, the benefit changes being proposed or the timing of those changes, it cannot estimate the impact of these potential developments at this time.

    In addition, the TennCare contracts maymight not be extended or successfully renegotiated beyond December 31, 2005, or, if renewed or renegotiated, the terms of any new contracts maymight not be comparable to those of existing contracts. If this happens, the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, prospects and profitability may be adversely affected.

            The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from contracts with various counties in the state of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Counties"). Although these are separate contracts with individual counties, they all pertain to the Pennsylvania Medicaid program. Revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled approximately $121.1 million, $181.9 million and $189.6 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $36.0 million and $56.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Company's contract with one of the counties was terminated as December 31, 2003. Revenue related to this particular county totaled approximately $19.6 million, $22.8 million and $24.0 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $5.1 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

    Changes in the Medical Managed Care Industry.    Substantially all of the Company's revenues in its Health Plan segment are derived from customers in the medical managed care industry including

    28



    managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans. Industry—Certain changes in the business practices of this industry could negatively impact the Company’s resources, profitability and results of operations. 

    Substantially all of the Company’s Health Plan segment revenues are derived from customers in the medical managed care industry including managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans. Some types of changes in this industry’s business practices could negatively impact the Company. For example, if the Company’s managed care customers seek to provide managed behavioral healthcare services directly to their subscribers, instead of contracting with the Company for such services, the Company could be adversely affected. In this regard, as previously discussed in “Business—Emergence From Chapter 11,” the contract with Aetna, which is one of the Company’s largest customers, will terminate on December 31, 2005. Some of the Company’s customers that are managed care companies that the Company serveshave sought and may seek to provide managed behavioral healthcare services directly to their subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company for such services, the Company could be adversely affected. See "Reliance on Customer Contracts" for a discussion of the potential impact of lost revenues associated with certain significant health plan customers of the Company

    services. In addition, the companyCompany has a significant number of contracts with Blue Cross and Blue Shield health plans and other regional health plans.


    Consolidation of thethat industry through acquisitions and mergers could impact this sector of the industry and could potentially result in the loss of contracts for the Company. Any of these changes could reduce the Company’s revenues, and adversely affect the Company’s profitability and financial condition.

            Competition.Competition—The Company'scompetitive environment in the Company’s industry, and any failure in the Company’s ability to adequately respond, may limit the Company’s ability to maintain or increase the Company’s rates, which would limit or adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

    The Company’s business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other managed behavioral healthcare organizations as well as with insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, TPAs, IPAs, multi-disciplinary medical groups and other managed care companies. Many of the Company'sCompany’s competitors, particularly certain insurance companies and HMOs, are significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company.Company, which can create downward pressure on prices through economies of scale. The entrance or expansion of these larger companies in the managed behavioral healthcare industry (including customers of the Company who have insourced or who may choose to insource behavioral healthcare services) could increase the competitive pressures the Company faces.faces and could limit the Company’s ability to maintain or increase the Company’s rates. If this happens, the Company’s profitability could be adversely affected.

            Integration of Operations.    The Company is in the process of implementing initiatives aimed at reducing operating costs and improving operating efficiencies (see "Business—Business Strategy" above). These initiatives include consolidating service centers, creating more efficiency in corporate overhead, consolidating systems, improving call center technology and instituting other operational and business efficiencies. The Company believes that it can reduce administrative costs and improve customer service through these measures. The Company expects to fund these costs with internally generated funds. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement these initiatives or realize the anticipated savings.

            In addition, the Company could experience disruptions in its computer systems or other operations during the implementation of these initiatives, which disruptions could adversely affect the Company's relationships with many of its contracted providers and customers, and its business and results of operations.

    Fluctuation in Operating Results.Results—The Company'sCompany experiences fluctuations in quarterly operating results and, as a consequence, the Company may fail to meet or exceed market expectations, which could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

    The Company’s quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a combination ofseasonal and other factors, including:

    ·

      changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of itsthe Company’s risk-based contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns;

      patterns (for example, members generally tend to seek services less during the third and fourth quarters of the year than in the first and second quarters of the year);

      ·performance-based contractual adjustments to revenue, reflecting utilization results or other performance measures;

      ·changes in estimates for contractual adjustments under commercial contracts;

      ·retrospective membership adjustments;

      ·the timing of implementation of new contracts and enrollment changes; and

      ·changes in estimates regarding medical costs and incurred but not yet reported medicalIBNR claims.


    These factors may affect the Company'sCompany’s quarterly and annual revenues, expenses and results of operationsprofitability in the future. Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year comparisons of the Company's results of operations as an indication of future performance.

    Dependence On Government Spending For Managed Healthcare.Healthcare—The Company can be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and local healthcare policies. A significant

    All of the Company’s Public Sector Segment revenue and a portion of the Company'sCompany���s revenue isin the Company’s other two segments are derived, directly or indirectly, from federal, state and local governmental agencies, including state Medicaid programs. Contract rates vary from state to state, are subject to periodic negotiation and may limit the Company'sCompany’s ability to maintain or increase rates. The Company is

    29



    unable to predict the impact on itsthe Company’s operations of future regulations or legislation affecting Medicaid programs, or the healthcare industry in general, and future regulations or legislation may have a material adverse effect on the Company. Moreover, any reduction in government spending for such programs could also have a material adverse effect.effect on the Company. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies, under both direct contract and subcontract arrangements, generally are


    conditioned upon financial appropriations by one or more governmental agencies, especially with respect toin the case of state Medicaid programs. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made. Finally, some of the Company'sCompany’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies, under both direct contract and subcontract arrangements, require the Company to perform additional services if federal, state or local laws or regulations imposed after the contract is signed so require, in exchange for additional compensation to be negotiated by the parties in good faith. Government and other third-party payors are generally seeking to impose lower contract rates and to renegotiate reduced contract rates with service providers in a trend toward cost control. See "Business—Industry" and "—Business Strategy".

    Possible Impact of Healthcare Reform.Reform—Healthcare reform can significantly reduce the Company’s revenues or profitability.

    The U.S. Congress is considering legislation which,that, among other things, would place limits onlimit healthcare plans and methods of operations, limit employers'employers’ and healthcare plans'plans’ ability to define medical necessity and permit employers and healthcare plans to be sued in state courts for coverage determinations. It is uncertain whether the Company could recoup, through higher revenues or other measures, the increased costs of federally mandated benefits or other increased costs caused by such legislation or similar legislation. In addition, if any federal parity legislation is adopted and the difference in coverage limits for mental health coverage and medical health coverage is reduced or eliminated, any increase in revenue the Company derives following such legislation may not be sufficient to cover the increase in costs that would result from a greater utilization of mental healthcare services. The Company cannot predict the effect of this legislation noror other legislation that may be adopted by the U.S. Congress, and such legislation, mayif implemented, could have an adverse effect on the Company.

            Regulation.Government Regulation—The Company is subject to substantial government regulation and scrutiny, which increase the Company’s cost of doing business and could adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

    The managed behavioral healthcare industry and the provision of behavioral healthcare services are subject to extensive and evolving federal and state regulation. Such laws and federal regulation. regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government investigations and allegations have become more frequent concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by healthcare organizations. Violators may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subject to fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed services. A violation of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

    The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations and federal laws as a result of the Company’s role the Company assumes in connection with managing its customers'management of customers’ employee benefit plans.

            The regulatoryRegulatory issues may also affect the Company’s operations. These include, but are not limited to:

    ·       additional state licenses that may affect operations include:

      whether the Company's current licenses will be negatively impacted by the Company's financial condition, see further discussion at "Business—Regulation—Insurance, HMO and PPO Activities";

      whether the Company needs to obtain additional licenses from state authoritiesrequired to conduct its business,the Company’s businesses, including utilization review and TPA activities;

      whether the Company complies with various

      ·       limits imposed by state authorities to prevent corporations from controllingupon corporations’ control or excessively influencingexcessive influence over behavioral healthcare services through the direct employment of psychiatrists, psychologists or other professionals, and to prohibit such persons from splitting fees with other persons or entities;

      whether the Company is able to comply withprohibiting fee splitting;

      ·       laws that impose financial terms and requirements upon insurance companies, PPOs, HMOs, TPAs, managed behavioral healthcare organizations and entities that assumeon the Company due to the Company’s  assumption of risk under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs;

      whether the Company complies with

      ·       laws in certain states that impose upon insurance companies, PPOs, HMOs and other types of third-party payors an obligation to contract with any healthcare provider willing to meet the terms of the payor'sCompany’s contracts with similar providers;



    ·maintaining confidentiality of patient information; and

    30


        becoming compliant·       complying with HIPAA within the imposed deadlines. See "Business—Regulation—HIPAA".

      The imposition of additional license requirementslicensing and other regulatory requirements may, among other things, increase the Company'sCompany’s equity requirements, increase the cost of doing business or force significant changes in the Company'sCompany’s operations significantly to comply with these requirements.

      Because an entity indirectly controlled by Onex Corporation, is a non-U.S. company andCanadian corporation, has the right to elect one or more directors of the Company. See "Significant Stockholder" above. Therefore,Company’s directors,  (see “Significant Stockholder” above), federal law considers the Company to be under the ownership, control or influence of a foreign entity. As a result, the Company mustmay need to comply with additional requirements in order to obtain a federal facility security clearance issued by the Defense Security Service. Such security clearance is a requirement of one of the Company's contracts with an agency of the federal government and may be a requirement ofService in order to enter into any new contracts with federal agencies. The Company currently has a contract with a federal agency under which the agency has determined that, based on the operational structure of the services the Company attemptsprovides under that contract, that the Company does not need to enter intocomply with agencies ofsuch regulations. However, it is possible that such agency could later determine that such clearance is necessary. If the Company is unable to comply with these additional requirements, the Company could lose its contract with the federal government.agency and be ineligible to bid on other contracts with federal agencies.

      The costs associated with compliance with government regulation as discussed above may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

      Risks Related To Realization of Goodwill and Intangible Assets.Assets—The Company'sCompany’s profitability could be adversely affected if the value of intangible assets is not fully realized

      The Company’s total assets at December 31, 2003 reflects2004 reflect goodwill of approximately $450.2$392.3 million, representing approximately 34.833.0 percent of total assets. There can be no assurance that such goodwill will be realizable. The application of the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7 as discussed above (see "Cautionary Statements—Fresh Start Reporting"), requirerequired the Company to value its assets and liabilities at fair market value. In accordance with thethese fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7, implemented as of December 31, 2003, the Company’s reorganization value of the Company was allocated to the Company'sCompany’s tangible and identified intangible assets. Under SOP 90-7, if any portion of the Company’s reorganization value of the Company cannotcould not be attributableallocated to specific assets, such amount should beit was reported as goodwill. As a resultThe Company completed its annual impairment analysis of the application of fresh start reporting, the Predecessor Company's balance of goodwill was written-off at December 31, 2003. See Note 2—"Fresh Start Reporting" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion of adjustments recorded under fresh start reporting. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), the Company will test goodwill as of October 1 fornoting that fair value exceeded the associated carrying value; therefore, no impairment based upon fair values.was recorded.

      At December 31, 2003,2004, identifiable intangible assets (customer lists, contracts and provider networks) totaled approximately $58.1$44.3 million. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives, which range from approximately two to eighteen years. The amortization periods used may differ from those used by other entities. In addition, the Company may be required to shorten the amortization period for intangible assets in future periods based on changes in the Company'sCompany’s business. The Company may not ever realize the value of such assets.

      The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that all or a portion offor any reason the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets and other long livedlong-lived assets may no longer be completely recoverable, in which case a charge to earnings for impairment losses could become necessary. When events or changes in circumstances are presentoccur that indicate the carrying amount of long livedlong-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability of long livedlong-lived assets other than goodwill by determining whether the carrying value of such intangible assets will be recovered through the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

      Any event or change in circumstances which leadsleading to a future determination requiring additional write-offs of a significant portion of unamortized intangible assets or goodwill would adversely affect the Company's results of operations.Company’s profitability.


      Claims for Professional Liability.Liability—Pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any associated judgments, settlements, legal fees and other costs) could require the Company to make significant cash expenditures and consume significant management time and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and financial position.    The management

      Management and administration of the delivery of managed behavioral healthcare services, and the direct provision of behavioral healthcare treatment services, entail significant risks of liability. In recent years, participants in the managed health care industry have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims of professional liability for allegedalleging negligence in performing utilization review activities, as well as for the acts or omissions of the Company'sCompany’s employees, network providers or other parties.others. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to suicides and other serious incidents

      31



      involving patients enrolled in the Company'sCompany’s programs. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or itsthe Company’s network providers. AsIf the number of lives covered by the Company covers grows and the number of providers under contract increases, actions and claims against the Company (and, in turn, possible legal liability) predicated on malpractice, professional negligence or other related legal theories canwould be expected to increase. The Company is also subject to actions and claims for the costs of services for which payment was denied. Many of these actions and claims seek substantial damages and require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to its defense. Pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any judgments, settlements or costs associated therewith) may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      Professional Liability and Other Insurance.Insurance—Claims brought against the Company that exceed the scope of the Company’s liability coverage or denial of coverage could materially and adversely affect the Company’s profitability and financial condition.

      The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage foragainst a broad range of risks in itsthe Company’s business. As part of this program of insurance, the Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and self-insured retentions. SuchThe Company also is sometimes required by customer contracts to post surety bonds with respect to the Company’s potential liability on professional responsibility claims that may be asserted in connection with services provided. As of January 31, 2005, the Company has less than $4 million of such bonds outstanding. The Company’s insurance may not be sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to present or future claims, suits or complaints. Upon expiration of the Company'sCompany’s insurance policies, sufficient insurance may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent the Company'sCompany’s customers are entitled to indemnification under their contracts with the Company relating to liabilities they incur arising from the operation of the Company'sCompany’s programs, such indemnification may not be covered under the Company'sCompany’s insurance policies. To the extent that certain actions and claims seek punitive and compensatory damages arising from the Company’s alleged intentional misconduct, by the Company, such damages, if awarded, may not be covered, in whole or in part, by the Company'sCompany’s insurance policies. The Company also has certain potential liabilitiesliability relating to the self-insurance program the Company maintained previously with respect to itsthe Company’s provider business prior to the Crescent Transactions.business. If the Company is unable to secure adequate insurance in the future, or if the insurance the Company carries is not sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future actions or claims, such judgments, settlements or costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company obtains surety bonds from insurance companies to meet requirements under the lawsCompany’s profitability and regulations of states in which the Company operates. As of March 17, 2004, the Company has approximately $11.8 million of surety bonds outstanding. The surety bond carriers have collateral in the form of letters of credit in the amount of $13.2 million.financial condition. If the Company is unable to obtain adequateneeded surety bonds in adequate amounts or make alternative arrangements to satisfy the requirements for such bonds, itthe Company may no longer be able to operate in those states, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.


      Class Action Suits and Other Legal Proceedings.Proceedings—The Company could be targeted by class action and other lawsuits that could result in material liabilities to the Company or cause the Company to incur material costs, to change the Company’s operating procedures in ways that increase costs or to comply with additional regulatory requirements.    Certain managed

      Managed healthcare companies including the Company, have been targeted as defendants in national class action lawsuits regarding their business practices. The Company has been subject to such class actions as defendants and is also subject to certainother lawsuits and legal proceedings in conducting its business. See Item 3—"Legal Proceedings" elsewhere herein. SuchThese lawsuits may take years to resolve and cause the Company to incur substantial litigation expenses and the outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company.Company’s profitability and financial condition. In addition to potential damage awards, depending upon the outcomes of such cases, these lawsuits may cause or force changes in practices of the Company’s industry and may also cause additional regulation of the industry through new federal or state laws or new applications of existing laws or regulations. Such changes could increase the Company’s operating costs.

      Government Investigations.Investigations—If the Company is unable to cooperate with the investigations of governmental agencies, the Company may be materially and adversely affected.

      From time to time, the Company receives notifications from and engages in discussions with various government agencies concerning the Company's respectiveCompany’s managed care businesses and operations. As a result of these contacts with regulators, the Company may, as appropriate, implement changes to its operations, revise its filings with such agencies and/or seek additional licenses to conduct itsthe Company’s business. See Item 3—"Legal Proceedings" elsewhere herein. The Company'sCompany’s inability to cooperate with theseany government investigations and inquiriesinvestigation or inquiry and comply with the various requirements imposed on the Company as a result of these proceedings may have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business. In addition, the healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations. The subjects of such laws and regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Over the past several years, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and/or allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and/or

      32



      regulations by healthcare organizations. Entities that are found to have violated these laws and regulations may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed services. A violation of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

              Use of Prior Audit Reports Prepared by Arthur Andersen LLP.    Arthur Andersen LLP, the Predecessor Company's accounting firm that audited the Predecessor Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, was found guilty by a jury on June 15, 2002 of federal obstruction of justice charges in connection with the government's investigation of Enron Corp. Arthur Andersen ceased practicing before the Commission effective August 31, 2002. It is possible that events arising out of this conviction or the cessation of Arthur Andersen's practice may adversely affect the ability of Arthur Andersen to satisfy any claims arising from its provision of auditing and other services to clients, including claims that may arise out of Arthur Andersen's audit of the Company's financial statements.

              In addition, should the Company seek to access the public capital markets, it would need to satisfy certain requirements of the Commission relating to the Company's audited financial statements for fiscal years which were audited by Arthur Andersen. The Commission's current rules require the inclusion or incorporation by reference of three years of audited financial statements in any prospectus for a public offering of securities of the Company, which would require the Company to present audited financial statements for one or more fiscal years audited by Arthur Andersen until the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 become available in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2005. The Commission has adopted rules exempting certain issuers filing Securities Act registration statements containing financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen from having to comply with the provisions of its rules that would otherwise require issuers to present with such financial statements manually signed reissued accountants' reports and written consents issued by Arthur Andersen. Although the Company believes that it currently meets the requirements for such exemptions, if the Commission ceases accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen pursuant to such exemptions, it is possible that the Company's financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2001 audited by Arthur Andersen might not satisfy the Commission's requirements. If this occurs, the Company would not be able to access the public capital markets unless Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's current independent accounting firm, or another independent accounting firm, is able to audit the financial statements originally audited by Arthur Andersen. Any delay or inability to access the public capital markets caused by circumstances of such nature could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company'sCompany’s principal executive offices are located in Farmington, Connecticut, which lease expires in May 2005. The Company believes that its current facilities are suitable for and adequate to support the level of its present operations.


      Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

      The management and administration of the delivery of managed behavioral healthcare services entail significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to suicides and other serious incidents involving patients enrolled in its programs. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. See also "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Claims for Professional Liability".Liability.” Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the defendant to incur significant fees and costs related to


      their defense. To date, claims and actions against the Company alleging professional negligence have not resulted in material liabilities and the Company does not believe that any such pending action against it will have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, there can be no assurance that pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any judgments, settlements or costs associated therewith) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      The Company is subject to or party to certain class action suits, litigation and claims relating to its operations and business practices. LitigationExcept as otherwise provided under the Plan, litigation asserting claims against the Company and its subsidiaries that were parties to the chapter 11 proceedings for pre-petition obligations (the "Pre-petition Litigation"“Pre-petition Litigation”) were, was enjoined as of the Effective Date as a consequence of the commencementconfirmation of the Company's chapter 11 proceedings.Plan by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company believes that the Pre-petition Litigation claims constitute pre-petition general unsecured claims and, to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, would be resolved as Other General Unsecured Claims under the Plan. See "Business—“Business—Emergence from Chapter 11".11.”

      In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial position or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this regard.

       On the Effective Date, all interests in the Reorganized Company's pre-petition Common Stock and Preferred Stock were cancelled and three new classes of capital stock were authorized. Specifically, 100 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock and 40 million shares of Multiple and Variable Vote Restricted Convertible Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Multi-Vote Common Stock") were authorized, as were 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, that are issuable at the discretion of the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law in one or more series with such powers, privileges and rights as may be determined by the Board (except that no non-voting shares shall be issued).

Shares of the Multi-Vote Common Stock may only be issued to, and held by, Onex Corporation, a Canadian corporation, or (as determined in accordance with Magellan's amended and restated certificate of incorporation) an affiliate thereof (collectively, "Onex"). Onex, in connection with the Plan, invested in the equity of Magellan, which equity is to be in the form of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. Upon transfer of any shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock to any party other than Onex, the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will automatically convert on a share-for-share basis into shares of the Ordinary Common Stock. In addition, any shares of Ordinary Common Stock that Onex may come to

      35



      own at any time when the Multi-Vote Common Stock is outstanding will automatically convert into shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock.

      Unregistered Sales of Securities

      Under the Plan and non-employee directors could beimplementing documents (other than executive employment agreements and the Company’s 2003 Management Incentive Plan), the Company as of January 5, 2004 issued (or reserved for issuance upon resolution of Disputed Claims as described above in Item 1) approximately 26,617,532 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, approximately 8,487,750 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock and warrants to purchase a total of approximately 800,825 shares of Ordinary Common Stock.  These shares and warrants were issued without registration under the Securities Act, in exchange for claims in the chapter 11 case of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in reliance on the exemption provided therefrom by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or, in the case of the Multi-Vote Common Stock, the exemption for private offerings pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  During 2004, 19 of the warrants were exercised.  Also in January 2004, 82,854 shares of Ordinary Common Stock were issued without registration under the Securities Act upon conversion of an equal number of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock in connection with the transfer of such shares.  Such issuance was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. During fiscal 2004, the Company granted options to purchase shares of Company common stock or awarded shares of common stock and, in addition, the Company maintained its 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, all of which had previously been approved by the Company's stockholders. No options or shares were granted or issued under any of these plans in the year ended December 31, 2003. All options related to the previously authorized common stock of the Company remaining outstanding under these plans were cancelled on the Effective Date and no consideration was issued in exchange therefor.

Accordingly, securities may no longer be issued by the Company under any of these plans.

              The Plan provided for the creation of a Management Incentive Plan, under which restricted stock awards, stock options and other equity incentives may be issued to members of the Company's management and other employees.

      Item 6.   Selected Financial Data

      In May 2003, the Company'sCompany’s board of directors approved a change in the Company'sCompany’s fiscal year. Instead of a fiscal year ending on September 30, the Company has adopted a fiscal year that coincides with the calendar year, effective December 31, 2002. The following table sets forth selected historical consolidated financial information of the Company as of and for each of the fourthree fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and as of and for the three-month transition period ended December 31, 2002. The table also presents2002 and unaudited comparable data as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The table also sets forth selected historical consolidated financial information of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      As a result of the Company'sCompany’s financial restructuring under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code commenced in March 2003 and consummated on the Effective Date and the Company'sCompany’s implementation of fresh start reporting effective December 31, 2003, the selected financial data as of and for the yearyears ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 are not comparable to the prior periods presented. Selected financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 includes the following significant unusual items:

        ·Net reorganization benefit related to continuing operations of approximately $438.2 million, incurred in connection with the Company'sCompany’s financial restructuring. The reorganization benefit is primarily comprised of a net fresh start reorganization gain of approximately $479.7 million as a result of the application of fresh start reporting, a net benefit of approximately $7.5 million from lease rejections and court approved claim reductions, and interest income of approximately $1.1 million, which benefits were partially offset by expenses which include the write-off of deferred financing costs of approximately $18.5 million related to the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes and approximately $31.6 million of professional fees incurred in conjunction with the financial restructuring activities and chapter 11 proceedings. The Company also recorded a net reorganization benefit related to discontinued operations of $20.3 million, net of a $0.8 million tax benefit. See Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"Policies” to the Company's auditedCompany’s consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for a reconciliation of the reorganization expenses recorded in fiscal 2003.

        ·Pursuant to FIN 46, the Reorganized Company'sCompany’s balance sheetsheets as of December 31, 2003 includesand 2004 include the assets and liabilities of the Premier joint venture, a variable interest entity ("VIE"(“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the primary beneficiary of Premier. See Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements"Pronouncements” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for discussion of FIN 46. The Reorganized Company early adopted FIN 46 on December 31, 2003, as early adoption of new accounting pronouncements is required by companies implementing the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7. The joint venture was accounted for under the equity method of accounting by the Predecessor Company through December 31, 2003. As such, the assets and liabilities of Premier are not included in the Predecessor Company'sCompany’s balance sheet accounts as of the end of any of the previous periods presented.

      See Note 2—"Fresh Start Reporting"Reporting” to the audited consolidated financial statements elsewhere herein for discussion of fresh start adjustments recorded by the Company.

      Net loss for fiscal 2002 includesincluded the effect of the adoption of SFAS 142. Adoption of No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142142”) which resulted in the Company recognizing an impairment loss of $207.8 million before taxes ($191.6 million after taxes), in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, recorded as a


      cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, separate from operating results. Adoption of SFAS 142 also resulted in goodwill impairment charges of $415.9 million and $28.8 million in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, respectively. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company did not record goodwill amortization, which would have amounted to approximately $31.1 million and $31.8 million in fiscal 2002 and 2003, respectively, and $7.9 million (unaudited) and $7.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively,

      37



      had SFAS 142 not been adopted. See Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Goodwill"Predecessor Company Goodwill” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion of the impact to the Company of the adoption of SFAS 142 in fiscal 2002. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s capital restructuring activities and financial condition resulted in uncertainty as of September 30, 2002 as to the Company'sCompany’s ability to realize its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2002, the Company recorded an increase to its valuation allowance of $200.5 million, resulting in a total valuation allowance covering all of its net deferred tax assets. See Note 10—"Income Taxes"Taxes” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

      The operating results for fiscal 2001 were positively impacted by settlements of certain contract appeals related to subcontracts with respect to TRICARE. For fiscal 2001, net revenue and equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries included $30.3 million and $22.6 million, respectively, related to such settlements. For fiscal 2001, income from continuing operations and net income each included approximately $31.7 million related to the positive impact of these settlements. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 145, which led to the reclassification of losses due to early extinguishment of debt in fiscal 2001 from extraordinary losses to losses from operations.

              On September 2, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a formal plan to dispose of the Company's businesses and interests included in the Company's healthcare provider and healthcare franchising segments and on September 10, 1999, the Company consummated such disposal. On October 4, 2000, the Company adopted a formal plan to dispose of the business included in the Company's specialty managed healthcare segment. On January 18, 2001, the Company adopted a formal plan to dispose of the business representing the Company's human services segment, and on March 9, 2001, the Company consummated such disposal. Accordingly, the statement of operations data has been restated to reflect the healthcare provider, healthcare franchising, specialty managed healthcare and human services business segments as discontinued operations.

      Selected consolidated financial information for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003 and 2004 and for the three months ended December 31, 2002, and as of December 31, 20022003 and 20032004 presented below, have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

      Business Overview

              Magellan, directly and through its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")The Company coordinates and manages the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network of third-party treatment providers, which includes psychiatrists, psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. See "Business—Provider Network" for further discussion of the Company's managed behavioral healthcare network. The treatment services provided through the Company's provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), inpatient treatment and crisis intervention services. The Company, however, generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment services. The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company assumes all or a portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per month fee, (ii) administrative services only ("ASO") products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the treatment services, (iii) employee assistance programs ("EAPs") and (iv) products which combine features of some or all of the Company's risk-based, ASO or EAP products. At December 31, 2003,2004, the Company managed the behavioral healthcare benefits of approximately 58.657.1 million individuals.

      Within the managed behavioral healthcare business, the Company operates in the following four segments, based on the services it provides and/or the customers that it serves: (i) Magellan Health Plan Solutions ("(“Health Plan Solutions"Solutions”); (ii) Magellan Employer Solutions ("(“Employer Solutions"Solutions”); (iii) Magellan Public Sector Solutions ("(“Public Sector Solutions"Solutions”) and (iv) Corporate and Other.

      Health Plan Solutions.The Company'sCompany’s Health Plan Solutions segment generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services provided under contracts with managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans. This segment'ssegment’s contracts encompass both risk-based and ASO contracts. Although certain health plans provide their own managed behavioral healthcare services, many health plans "carve out"“carve out” behavioral healthcare from their general healthcare services and subcontract such services to managed behavioral healthcare companies such as the Company. In the Health Plan Solutions segment, the Company'sCompany’s members are the beneficiaries of the health plan (the employees and dependents of the customer of the health plan), for which the behavioral healthcare services have been carved out to the Company. DuringThe Company derived revenue from its contract with Aetna of $250.3 million and $193.6 million, respectively, during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, the Company derived approximately $315.6 million, $250.3 million and $193.6 million, respectively, of consolidated net revenue from its contracts with Aetna, Inc. ("Aetna"). The Company recognized net revenues from Aetna of $78.8 million and $54.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.respectively, and $228.1 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The declines in Aetna revenue of

      40



      approximately $56.7 million in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002, approximately $65.3 million in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001, and of approximately $24.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001, were mainly due to decreased membership as a result of Aetna intentionally reducing its membership levels in an effort to exit less profitable businesses.

      As described in "Business—“Business—Emergence from Chapter 11," as part of the consummation of the Plan, Aetna and Magellan have renewed their contract under which the Company will continue to manage the behavioral health care of Aetna's members throughterminate on December 31, 2005, with an option for Aetna to either extend the agreement at that time or to purchase the assets used in the operation of the Aetna contract.

              The Company manages the mental health and substance abuse services for certain of the beneficiaries of TRICARE, formerly the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), under a subcontract with a health plan that contracts with TRICARE. The Company recognized net revenues from this subcontract of $61.5 million, $48.0 million, and $47.3 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and $12.7 million and $14.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. This subcontract expires on September 30, 2004 and will not be renewed. The Company previously had a second subcontract with another health plan that contracted with TRICARE. This second subcontract expired on April 30, 2003. The Company recognized net revenues from the second TRICARE subcontract of $39.3 million, $31.2 million and $9.9 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and $8.3 million and $8.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

              The Company receives fixed fees under its TRICARE subcontract, which are subject to certain bid-price adjustments (BPAs). The BPAs are calculated in accordance with contractual provisions and actual healthcare utilization from the data collection period, as defined. The BPAs are recorded when measurable, based upon information available from both the TRICARE program and the Company's information systems.2005.

      Employer Solutions.The Company'sCompany’s Employer Solutions segment (formerly "Workplace") generally reflects the provision of EAP services, managed behavioral healthcare services and integrated products under contracts with employers, including corporations and governmental agencies, and labor unions. This segment'ssegment’s managed behavioral healthcare services are primarily ASO products.

      Public Sector Solutions.The Company'sCompany’s Public Sector Solutions segment generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services provided to Medicaid recipients under contracts with state and local governmental agencies. This segment'ssegment’s contracts encompass both risk-based and ASO contracts. The Company provides managed behavioral healthcare services to the State of Tennessee'sTennessee’s TennCare program,


      both through a direct contract held by the Company'sCompany’s wholly owned subsidiary Tennessee Behavioral Health, Inc. ("TBH"),TBH, and through a contract held by Premier, Behavioral Systems of Tennessee, LLC ("Premier"), a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50.0 percent interest. In addition, the Company contracts with Premier to provide certain services to the joint venture. Through fiscal 2003, the Predecessor Company accounted for its investment in Premier using the equity method. Effective December 31, 2003, the Reorganized Company early adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Interpretation No.FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51 ("FIN 46"), under which the Reorganized Company has consolidated the balance sheet of Premier in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003. Beginning in fiscal 2004, the Reorganized Company will consolidatehas consolidated the results of operations of Premier, including revenue and cost of care of the joint venture, in its consolidated statement of operations. The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the primary beneficiary of Premier. See further discussion of FIN 46 in "Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Accounting Pronouncements".Pronouncements.”

      41



      The Company'sCompany’s direct TennCare contract (exclusive of Premier'sPremier’s contract with TennCare) accounted for approximately $248.9 million, $237.5 million and $157.3 million of consolidated net revenue in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $60.0 million (unaudited) and $63.0 million of consolidated net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Such revenue amounts include revenue recognized by the Company associated with services performed on behalf of Premier totaling $102.0 million, $134.9 million and $39.8 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and $33.6 million (unaudited) and $34.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Company’s direct TennCare contract (exclusive of Premier’s contract with TennCare) accounted for approximately $178.5 million of consolidated net revenue in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The decline in revenue from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003 associated with the TennCare program was primarily the result of the reduction in revenue associated with services no longer performed on behalf of Premier due to a program change, which reduction was partially offset by increases in rates. As previously noted, the Company started consolidating Premier in accordance with FIN 46 as of December 31, 2003. The Company recorded $253.0 million of revenue from Premier’s TennCare contract during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      In September 2003, the State of Tennessee issued a request for proposal ("RFP"(“RFP”) relating to the TennCare program under which the program willwas to be divided into three regions. The Company, through TBH, submitted a proposal for the East region only and was awarded the contract. The new contract, with respect to the East region will become effectivewhich has a term from July 1, 2004.2004 through December 31, 2005, with extensions at the State’s option through December 31, 2008. When contract negotiations between the State and the vendor that had been awarded the contracts for the Middle and West regions were discontinued, the State asked TBH and Premier to continue with their current contracts for those regions through December 31, 2004. The East region contract has an initial term that runsEffective July 1, 2004 agreements with the State were reached, under which TBH and Premier will continue serving the Middle and West regions of TennCare through December 31, 2005. As a result of these agreements, the Company will continue to manage behavioral health care for the entire TennCare program.

      On January 10, 2005, the Governor of Tennessee stated that, because of the increased costs of the TennCare program, the State will cease providing coverage to approximately 323,000 adults who do not qualify for Medicaid, and will limit benefits to be delivered under the TennCare program. The Governor stated that he wishes to begin implementing such membership and benefit changes in March 2005 and includes a provision for extensionscomplete them by the end of 2005. Certain advocacy groups have filed suits in attempts to prevent the Governor from implementing any membership and benefits reductions. A reduction in membership would, and benefit changes could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and profitability. However, because of the opposition to the Governor’s plan, and because, even if the Governor were to prevail the Company does not yet know which members would be eliminated from the program, the timing of the membership reductions, the benefit changes being proposed or the timing of those changes, it cannot estimate the impact of these potential developments at the State's option through December 31, 2008.this time.


      The Company'sCompany’s Public Sector Solutions segment derives a significant portion of its revenue from contracts with various counties in the state of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Counties"“Pennsylvania Counties”). Although these are separate contracts with individual counties, they all pertain to the Pennsylvania Medicaid program. Revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled approximately $121.1 million, $181.9 million and $189.6 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $36.0 million and $56.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Company'sCompany’s contract with one of the counties was terminated as December 31, 2003. Revenue related to this particular county totaled approximately $19.6 million, $22.8 million and $24.0 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $5.1 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled approximately $187.7 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      Risk contracts in the Public Sector Solutions segment generally have higher per member premiums, cost and (to some degree) more volatility than risk contracts in either the Health Plan Solutions and Employer Solutions segments due to the nature of populations, benefits provided and other matters. See "Cautionary“Cautionary Statements—Dependence on Government Spending for Managed Healthcare", "—Healthcare,” “—Possible Impact of Healthcare Reform"Reform” and "—Regulation".“—Government Regulation.”

      Corporate and Other.This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of operational support functions such as claims administration, network services, sales and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate support functions such as executive, finance, human resources and legal. Discontinued operations activity is not included in the Corporate and Other segment operating results.

      Fiscal Year Change

      In May 2003, the Company's board of directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year. Instead of a fiscal year ending onquarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company has adopted a fiscal year that coincides with the calendar year, effective December 31, 2002. On August 12, 2003, the Company filed with the Securitiesreclassified certain expenses from its Corporate and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. Throughout this Report on Form 10-K, referencesOther segment to its other segments, as discussed in Note 16—“Business Segment Information” to the Company's

      historical financial information for fiscal years prior to December 31, 2002 will refer to the Company's former fiscal year end of September 30. For example, fiscal years 2001 and 2002 correspond to the twelve-month periods ending September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. References to fiscal 2003 relate to the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.

      Emergence from Chapter 11

              On January 5, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), Magellan and 88 of its subsidiaries consummated their Third Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization, as modified and confirmed (the "Plan"), under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), which had been confirmed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") on October 8, 2003, and accordingly the Plan became fully effective and the companies emerged from the protection of their chapter 11 proceedings. Magellan and these subsidiaries had filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court on March 11, 2003.

              The following is a summary of the transactions which became effective on the Effective Date pursuant to or in connection with the consummation of the Plan. The distributions to which the Company's former creditors and shareholders became entitled under the Plan were made by the Company on the Effective Date or were disbursed in accordance with the Plan soon thereafter, except for certain immaterial distributions that were subsequently made or will be made in the future as provided for by the Plan upon certain conditions being satisfied. This summary only highlights certain of the substantive provisions of the Plan and the documents implementing the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the full text of the Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2(a) to Magellan's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2003, as first supplemented by the modification filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Magellan's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2003 and further supplemented by the modification filed as Exhibit 2.3 to Magellan's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2003 and as to be implemented pursuant to the confirmation order, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.4 to Magellan's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2003, and (ii) the implementing documents, which are referred to below in this summary, filed as Exhibits 2.2 – 2.15 to Magellan's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 6, 2004, and as amended in certain instances by Magellan's Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 7, 2004.

              Giving effect to the Plan, Magellan and its subsidiaries continued, in their previous organizational form, to conduct their business as previously conducted, with the same assets in all material respects (except for cash to be distributed under the Plan to former creditors of the Company), but the Company was recapitalized. Specifically, the Company's secured bank loans, as existing before the Effective Date, were paid in full, and other then existing indebtedness (i.e., two classes of notes and general unsecured creditor claims) and the then existing equity interests in Magellan were cancelled as of the Effective Date in exchange for the distributions provided for by the Plan, as further described below, all as of the Effective Date.

              On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank, as lender and administrative agent, and other lenders providing for a $100.0 million term loan, an $80.0 million letter of credit facility and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (collectively, the "Credit Agreement"). The interest rate on term loan and revolving credit borrowings will fluctuate and will be at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate established by Deutsche Bank or (ii) one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight "federal funds" rate, as from time to time in effect, plus in either case two and one-half percent per year, subject to the Company's election to have interest calculated based on the "Eurodollar rate" offered by Deutsche Bank plus three and one-half percent per year. The interest rate on letter of credit-related borrowings will be fixed at 3.5 percent. However, in each

      43



      case the interest rate could be reduced upon achievement of certain conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and certain quarterly principal payments on the term loan are also required. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of Magellan and is secured by substantially all of the assets of Magellan and the subsidiary guarantors. The proceeds of the term loan, together with other existing funds, were used on the Effective Date to repay in full in accordance with the Plan the Company's senior secured bank indebtedness under its previous credit agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement") of approximately $161 million, to make other cash payments contemplated by the Plan, to pay fees and expenses related to the chapter 11 cases, and for general working capital purposes. In addition, the letter of credit facility has been utilized to back letters of credit outstanding on the Effective Date and to provide additional letters of credit when needed for the Company's business. For a further discussion of the Credit Agreement, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              As of the Effective Date, in satisfaction of the $250 million of principal owed on the 9.375% senior notes due 2007 (the "Old Senior Notes") and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Company issued to the holders of such notes approximately $233.5 million in original principal amount of Series A notes of a new issue of senior notes due November 15, 2008 (the "Series A Notes", together with the Series B Notes (see below), the "Senior Notes") and made a cash payment of approximately $46.1 million. The terms of the Senior Notes are substantially similar to those of the Old Senior Notes, except that they mature on November 15, 2008. For a further discussion of the Senior Notes, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              Under the Plan, holders of the Company's previous 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 in the principal amount of $625.0 million (the "Old Subordinated Notes") and holders of general unsecured creditor claims (other than claims on the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes) ("Other GUCs") were to receive in the aggregate approximately 97 percent of the Ordinary Common Stock (or approximately 22.3 million shares) of the reorganized Company (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). The actual number of shares allocated between these two classes of creditors, as well as the number of shares allocated to each individual creditor in such creditor classes, is dependent upon the final, total aggregate value of claims for the two creditor classes, as discussed further below.

              As of the Effective Date, the Company estimated that the holders of the Old Subordinated Notes would receive in satisfaction of their claims (including all accrued and unpaid interest), approximately 20.5 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock of Magellan (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). Accordingly, the Company distributed, as of the Effective Date, approximately 32.83 shares per $1,000 of principal amount of such notes (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof were issued or paid). The share distribution amount is subject to adjustments as set forth below.

              As of the Effective Date, the Company estimated that total claims of Other GUCs, would be approximately $78 million (including unresolved disputed claims). Under the Plan, and based upon this total estimated claim value, such creditor class was estimated to receive in satisfaction of their claims (including any unpaid interest accrued thereon) the following consideration for each $1,000 of claim value: (i) $50.34 in cash, (ii) $254.99 of Series B of the Senior Notes ("Series B Notes"), and (iii) 22.41 shares of Ordinary Common Stock (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof were or will be issued or paid), for an aggregate of 1.8 million shares (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). As of March 4, 2004, the Company has issued approximately $5.1 million of Series B Notes for the settled claims of Other GUCs. The Series B Notes portions of certain other claims of Other GUCs were settled for cash, based upon claim settlement terms between

      44



      the Company and such individual general unsecured creditors. The Ordinary Common Stock share distribution amount is subject to adjustment as set forth below.

              The Company currently estimates that the total claim value for Other GUCs will ultimately be resolved for approximately $55.0 million, of which $50.5 million has been settled as of March 4, 2004. If the claims of Other GUCs are ultimately resolved for the Company's current estimate of $55.0 million, the Other GUCs would receive additional consideration of approximately 0.53 shares of Ordinary Common Stock per $1,000 of claim value (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid) and the holders of claims on the Old Subordinated Notes would receive an additional 0.77 shares of Ordinary Common Stock per $1,000 of principal amount of such notes (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid).

              Also on the Effective Date, the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of Magellan were cancelled, three new classes of capital stock were authorized and Magellan's certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated. Specifically, 100 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Ordinary Common Stock"), and 40 million shares of Multiple and Variable Vote Restricted Convertible Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Multi-Vote Common Stock") were authorized, as were 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, that are issuable at the discretion of the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law in one or more series with such powers, privileges and rights as may be determined by the Board (except that no non-voting shares shall be issued). No shares of Preferred Stock were issued or are to be issued under the Plan. Shares of the Multi-Vote Common Stock may only be issued to, and held by, Onex Corporation, a Canadian corporation, or an affiliate thereof (collectively, "Onex"). As described below, Onex, in connection with the Plan, invested in the equity of Magellan in the form of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. Upon transfer of any shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock to any party other than Onex, the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will automatically convert on a share-for-share basis into shares of Ordinary Common Stock. In addition, any shares of Ordinary Common Stock that Onex may come to own at any time when the Multi-Vote Common Stock is outstanding will automatically convert into shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock.

              In general, the Multi-Vote Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock have the same powers, privileges and rights, and each share represents an equivalent interest in Magellan's equity, except that the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will have the number of votes per share from time to time sufficient so that all the outstanding shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will have an equal number of votes as all the outstanding shares of Ordinary Common Stock (i.e., the Multi-Vote Common Stock will be entitled to exercise 50 percent of the voting power of all the common stock of Magellan). The Multi-Vote Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock also differ in that each class has different voting rights in the election of directors and certain other voting rights and other special rights and privileges. The Multi-Vote Common Stock will cease to have any special voting rights or any other special rights or powers in the event the outstanding shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock cease to represent at least 15.33 percent of the total number of shares of common stock (both Ordinary Common Stock and Multi-Vote Common Stock) issued on the Effective Date (approximately 35.1 million shares) or at least 10 percent of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding at any time the (the "Minimum Hold Condition"). For further information regarding the voting rights of the Ordinary Common Stock and the Multi-Vote Common Stock, see Item 10—"Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant—Director Election and Terms of Office".

              As part of the Plan, Magellan offered to holders of its Old Subordinated Notes, its general unsecured creditors and one holder of an administrative claim the opportunity to purchase, on the effective date of the Plan, shares of common stock equivalent to 6,052,632 shares of Ordinary Common Stock for a total purchase price of $75 million ($12.39 per share). The Company also received as part of the Plan a commitment from Onex to purchase on the same terms any shares not purchased in the

      45



      Equity Offering by the creditors to whom such shares were offered. Pursuant to the equity offering included in the Plan, creditors purchased 5,111,019 shares and Onex purchased 941,613 shares.

              Onex also purchased, pursuant to an additional commitment under the Plan, 6,052,632 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $75 million (the "Onex Investment"), or $12.39 per share. In addition, Onex committed, under the Plan, to fund an offer made by Magellan pursuant to the Plan to holders of its Old Subordinated Notes and to the Company's other general unsecured creditors permitting them to elect to receive $9.78 in cash per share in lieu of the shares of Ordinary Common Stock they would otherwise receive under the Plan (the "Cash-Out Election"). Onex committed to fund the Cash-Out Election by purchasing that amount of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock at $9.78 per share equal to the amount of shares of Ordinary Common Stock cashed out pursuant to the Cash-Out Election. As of the Effective Date, Onex purchased 1,421,335 shares pursuant to this commitment. Also pursuant to this commitment, Onex committed to purchase, subsequent to the Effective Date, up to an additional 137,120 shares pursuant to this commitment as a result of the settlement of claims that had elected the Cash-Out Election but were disputed and unresolved at the Effective Date. Onex has purchased and will purchase 8,552,700 shares in the aggregate (in the Equity Offering, pursuant to the Onex Investment and to fund the Cash-Out Election), all of which are shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. These shares represented approximately 24.2 percent of the shares of common stock outstanding on the Effective Date and 21.2 percent of the common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the Effective Date. As stated above, the allocation of stock among creditors will change based on the value of all claims as ultimately resolved. If all claims are ultimately resolved for the amount of the Company's current estimate, 36,592 additional shares would be allocated to claims that had elected the Cash-Out Election, which would result in Onex acquiring an additional 36,592 shares at $9.78 per share (for a total of 8,589,282 shares).

              The previously outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of Magellan was cancelled on the Effective Date and the holders thereof were issued 456,660 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, representing approximately 1.3 percent of the common stock of Magellan as of the Effective Date on a fully diluted basis (giving effect to all shares outstanding or subject to options or warrants outstanding as of the Effective Date), as well as warrants to purchase until January 5, 2011 for $30.46 per share, 456,660 shares of Ordinary Common Stock. The previously outstanding common stock of Magellan also was cancelled on the Effective Date and the holders thereof received 114,165 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, representing approximately 0.3 percent of the common stock of Magellan on the Effective Date on a fully diluted basis (calculated on the same basis as described above), as well as warrants to purchase at any time until January 5, 2011 for $30.46 per share, 114,165 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, which equals approximately one share of Ordinary Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Ordinary Common Stock for every 310 shares of the previously outstanding common stock. For further information regarding the warrants issued under the Plan, see Note 8—"Stockholders' Equity" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date all previously outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock of Magellan were cancelled.

              As part of the consummation of the Plan, an agreement became effective between Aetna, Inc. ("Aetna") and the Company to renew their behavioral health services contract. Under the renewed agreement, the Company will continue to manage the behavioral health care of members of Aetna's healthcare programs through December 31, 2005, with an option for Aetna at that time to either extend the agreement or to purchase certain assets of the Company used solely in the management of the behavioral healthcare of Aetna members (the "Aetna-Dedicated Assets"). Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company paid $15.0 million to Aetna, out of a debt obligation allowed under the Plan of $60.0 million plus accrued interest, and issued to Aetna an interest-bearing note (the "Aetna Note") for the balance of $48.9 million, which will mature on December 31, 2005. The Aetna Note is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of Magellan and is secured by a second lien

      46



      on substantially all of the assets of Magellan and the subsidiary guarantors. Additionally, if the behavioral health services contract is extended by Aetna at its option through at least December 31, 2006, one-half of the Aetna Note would be payable on December 31, 2005, and the remainder would be payable on December 31, 2006. If Aetna opts to purchase the Aetna-Dedicated Assets, the purchase price could be offset against any amounts owing under the Aetna Note. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued to Aetna a warrant to purchase 230,000 shares of Ordinary Common Stock from January 1, 2006 to January 5, 2009 at a purchase price of $10.48 per share. For further information regarding the Company's agreement with Aetna, the Aetna Note and the warrant issued to Aetna under the Plan, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" and Note 8—"Stockholders' Equity" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              On the Effective Date, Magellan's Board of Directors was reconstituted to consist of nine members, as specified in accordance with the Plan. Information on the members of the Magellan Board of Directors is disclosed in Part III herein.

              The Company's senior executive officers before the Effective Date (Steven J. Shulman, Dr. Rene Lerer and Mark S. Demilio) entered into employment agreements with Magellan as of the Effective Date in a form provided by the Plan and providing for them to continue in their current positions. In general, the Company's other senior officers continued in Magellan's employ in substantially the same positions after the Effective Date and entered into employment agreements with Magellan in a form provided by the Plan. A Management Incentive Plan became effective on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan, under which restricted stock awards, stock options and other equity incentives may be issued to members of the Company's management and other employees. The Company's employment agreements with its senior executive officers provided for the purchase by Mr. Shulman of certain shares of Ordinary Common Stock and for the grant to each such officer pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan of certain restricted shares of Ordinary Common Stock, all as of the Effective Date, and for certain cash payments to such officers related to the income taxes incurred by them in connection with such transactions. Options for a total of 4.3 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock were issued under the Management Incentive Plan in January and February 2004. Information on the Company's executive officers, their compensation and the Management Incentive Plan, as well as information regarding such grants under the employment agreements and Management Incentive Plan, is disclosed in Part III herein. See Note 8—"Stockholders' Equity" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for a discussion of charges to be recorded by the Company related to stock grants, stock options and cash payments pursuant to the employment agreements and stock options under the Management Incentive Plan. Such charges, which total $58.4 million, will be recorded in future periods corresponding to the vesting or life of the options.

              Before the Effective Date, the common stock of the Company was registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). On the Effective Date, the Ordinary Common Stock of Magellan, as issued in accordance with the Plan, was deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act as a successor issue, and Magellan as reorganized was deemed a successor issuer, in relation to the previously registered common stock in accordance with SEC Rule 12g-3(a). In addition, the warrants issued to former common and preferred stockholders as referred to above became registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form 8-A. The Ordinary Common Stock of the Company, including shares that may be issued upon conversion of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock and upon exercise of the warrants and options referred to above, became listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "MGLN" on January 6, 2004. On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, Magellan also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Onex and Aetna, providing them rights with respect to the registration of their shares for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in certain circumstances.

      Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

      Fresh Start Reporting.In connection with the consummation of the Plan, the Company adopted the "fresh“fresh start reporting"reporting” provisions of AICPA Statement of PositionSOP 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"), with respect to its financial reports, which requiresrequired the Company to restate its assets and liabilities to their fair values based upon the provisions of the Plan and certain valuations which the Company will makemade in connection with the implementation of the Plan. The Company iswas required to apply the fresh-start provisions of SOP 90-7 to its financial statements, because it hashad concluded that (a) the reorganization value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and (b) the holders of existing voting shares of the Company immediately before confirmation (i.e., the holders of shares of Magellan'sMagellan’s pre-petition common stock that were issued and outstanding prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 proceedings) received less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity. SOP 90-7 sets forth the principles regarding the date at which a company that has emerged from a chapter 11 proceeding should apply fresh start reporting to account for the effects of the plan of reorganization. Under SOP 90-7, application of fresh start reporting is permitted as early as the date on which the plan of reorganization is confirmed by the bankruptcy court, but SOP 90-7 further provides that fresh start reporting shouldis not be applied until all material conditions are satisfied. All material conditions to the Plan were satisfied as of December 29, 2003 (the "Material“Material Conditions Date"Date”). Due to


      the proximity of the Material Conditions Date to year end and the immateriality of the results of operations for the intervening two-day period through December 31, 2003, the Company applied fresh start reporting as if the material conditions were satisfied as of December 31, 2003. All adjustments and reorganization expenses as a result of the application of fresh start reporting are reflected in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 included elsewhere herein. See Note 2—"Fresh Start Reporting"Reporting” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for adjustments recorded by the Company pursuant to the application of SOP 90-7.

      Upon adoption of fresh start reporting as of December 31, 2003, the Company created, in substance, per SOP 90-7, a new reporting entity. The Reorganized Company has adopted the same accounting policies as the Predecessor Company with the exception of the date on which the Reorganized Company intends to performperforms its annual goodwill impairment test under SFAS No. 142. The Reorganized Company will performperformed its annual impairment test on October 1, as opposed to September 1.

      As a result of the application of the fresh start reporting provision of SOP 90-7, the consolidated balance sheets of the Company prior to December 31, 2003 are not comparable with the consolidated balance sheet as of, and subsequent to, December 31, 2003. Therefore, allAll balance sheet data as of, and subsequent to December 31, 2003 have been disclosed herein asrepresents balances of the Reorganized Company, and all balance sheet data prior to December 31, 2003 have been disclosed asrepresents balances of the Predecessor Company. Statement of operations and statement of cash flows data for all periods presented hereinprior to January 1, 2004 represents the results of the Predecessor Company. Accordingly, all references to the Company with respect to disclosures of amounts recorded (i) through or prior to December 31, 2003 in relation to income statement of operations or cash flow items; and (ii) prior to December 31, 2003 in relation to balance sheet items, relate to the Predecessor Company. All references to the Company with respect to disclosures of amounts recorded or to be recorded (i) after December 31, 2003 in relation to income statement of operations or cash flow items; and

      48



      (ii) on or after December 31, 2003 in relation to balance sheet items, relate to the Reorganized Company.

      Managed Care Revenue.Managed care revenue is recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. Managed care risk revenues earned for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003 approximated $1,540.7 million, $1,537.9 million and $1,292.5 million, respectively. Managedrespectively and managed care risk revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 were approximately $390.3 million (unaudited) and $388.7 million, respectively. Managed care risk revenues earned for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 approximated $1,583.9 million.

      The Company has the ability to earn performance-based revenue, primarily under certain risk and non-risk contracts. Performance-based revenue generally is based on either the ability of the Company to manage care for its ASO clients below specified targets.targets, or on other operating metrics. For each such contract, the Company estimates and records performance-basedperformance based revenue after considering the relevant contractual terms and the data available for the performance-basedperformance based revenue calculation. Pro-rata performance-basedperformance based revenue is recognized on an interim basis pursuant to the rights and obligations of each party upon termination of the contracts. The Company recognized performance revenue of approximately $22.7 million, $13.0 million and $7.7 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Forrespectively and $3.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, therespectively. The Company recognized performance-basedperformance revenue of approximately $3.4$9.7 million (unaudited) and $1.0 million, respectively.

              The Company provides mental health and substance abuse services toin the beneficiaries of TRICARE, under a subcontract with a health plan that contracts with TRICARE. See discussion of this subcontract in "Health Plan Solutions" above. The Company receives fixed fees under its TRICARE subcontract, which are subject to certain BPAs. The BPAs are calculated in accordance with contractual provisions and are based on actual healthcare utilization from historical periods as well as changes in certain factors during the contract period. The Company has information to record, on a quarterly basis, for reasonable estimates of the BPAs as part of its managed care risk revenues. These estimates are based upon information available, on a quarterly basis, from both the TRICARE program and the Company's information systems. Under the contract, the Company settles the BPAs at set intervals over the term of the contracts.

              The Company recorded estimated receivables of approximately $3.6 million and $2.5 million as offiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, based upon the Company's interim calculations of the estimated BPAs. Such amounts were recorded as adjustments to revenues. While management believes that the estimated TRICARE adjustments are adequate, ultimate settlement resulting from adjustments and available appeal processes may vary from the amounts provided.

              Prior to fiscal 2001, the Company and its contractors under its TRICARE contracts filed joint appeals regarding incorrect data provided and contractual issues related to the initial bidding process. These contingent claims were settled in fiscal 2001, resulting in the Company recording approximately $30.3 million in additional revenues in fiscal 2001.2004.

      Cost of Care and Medical Claims Payable.Cost of care, recorded as a component of operating expenses, is recognized in the period in which members receivereceived behavioral health services. In addition to actual benefits paid, cost of care includes the impact of accruals for estimates of medical claims payable. Medical claims payable in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements representrepresents the liability for healthcare claims reported but not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR"(“IBNR”) related to the Company'sCompany’s managed healthcare business. The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is estimated based on past claims payment experience for member


      groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific actuarial reserve models. The estimates for submitted claims and IBNR claims are made on an accrual basis and adjusted in future periods as required. However, changes in assumptions for medical costs caused by changes in actual experience (such as changes in the delivery system,

      49



      changes in utilization patterns, unforeseen fluctuations in claims backlogs, etc.) may ultimately prove these estimates inaccurate. As of December 31, 2003,2004, the Company believes that its medical claims payable balance of $177.1$194.6 million is adequate in order to satisfy ultimate claim liabilities incurred through December 31, 2003.2004. Medical claims payable balances are continually monitored and reviewed. Changes in assumptions for cost of care caused by changes in actual experience could cause the estimates to change in the near term.

      The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims payable for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 (in thousands):

      The Company believes that the amount of medical claims payable is adequate to cover its ultimate liability for unpaid claims as of December 31, 2004; however, actual claims payments and other items may differ from established estimates.

      Long-lived Assets.Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be addressed pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("Assets” (“SFAS 144"144”) which superseded SFAS No. 121, "Accounting“Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("Of” (“SFAS 121"121”). Pursuant to this guidance, impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management'smanagement’s best estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. The cash flow projections used to make this assessment are consistent with the cash flow projections that management uses internally to assist in making key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined by using quoted market prices or the discounted present value of expected future cash flows.

      Goodwill.Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("Assets” (“SFAS 142"142”). Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized over its estimated useful life. Instead, goodwilllife, but rather is tested for impairment based upon fair values at least on an annual basis. In accordance with SFAS 142, the book value of goodwill is assigned to the Company'sCompany’s reporting units. See Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"Policies” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

      Deferred Taxes.The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and its wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with


      SFAS No. 109, "Accounting“Accounting for Income Taxes".Taxes.” The deferredCompany estimates income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates.  This process involves estimating current tax exposures together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and book purposes. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from the reversal of temporary timing differences and future taxable income, and to the extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is more likely than not, it establishes a valuation allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based on the Company's assessment of the realizability of such amounts.

      The Company notes that for federal income tax purposes, the cancellation of indebtedness event takes place on the date of the Company'sCompany’s emergence from bankruptcy (January 5, 2004) and the actual attribute reduction calculation as set forth under Internal Revenue Code Section 108 occurs at or immediately after December 31, 2004 (the taxable year of discharge), and generally after determining the income tax liability for 2004. The Company plans to changechanged its income tax reporting year to a calendar year basis in conformity with its financial reporting year effective December 31, 2003. For financial reporting purposes, the emergence from bankruptcy is deemed to occur in 2003; however, since the Company did not emerge from bankruptcy until January 5, 2004, for federal income tax purposes, the emergence from bankruptcy is a 2004 event.

      After consideration of the effect of bankruptcy emergence, including the effect of cancellation of indebtedness income and the related attribute reduction effects as provided under Internal Revenue Code Section 108, the Company estimates that it has reportable net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) as of December 31, 2003, the Company has estimated tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards2004 of approximately $507.3$525 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOL carryforwardsNOLs expire in 20062009 through 2019.2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service. In accordance with SOP 90-7, subsequent (post-bankruptcy) utilization by the Company of NOLs which existed at January 5, 2004 will be accounted for as reductions to goodwill or additional paid-in capital and therefore, will only benefit cash flows due to reduced tax payments and will not benefit the Company’s tax provision for income taxes.

      Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets (including NOLs) are estimated based on the Company'sCompany’s assessment of the realizability of such amounts. As discussed in "Business—“Business—Emergence from Bankruptcy",Bankruptcy,” the

      50



      Company's Company’s history of recent operating losses (prior to reorganization benefits) and financial restructuring activities and the lack of substantial history of profitable operations subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy have created uncertainty as to the Company'sCompany’s ability to realize its NOL carryforwardsNOLs and other deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company had a total valuation allowance covering all of the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2003 and substantially all of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, net deferred tax assets, after reduction for valuation allowance, represent the Company’s estimate of those net deferred tax assets which are more likely than not to be realizable.

      In addition, the Company'sCompany’s utilization of NOL carryforwards will beNOLs became subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 upon emergence from bankruptcy, which may affectaffects the timing of the use of or ultimate realization of, NOL carryforwards. Accordingly,NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will cause the Company to be unable to use any NOLs before they expire. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2003, and 2002, the Company hashad tax contingencies which created an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to realize its NOLs. In addition to recording a totalfull valuation allowance coveringagainst all NOLs, the Company recorded this contingent liability of $23.2 million for taxes payable. During fiscal 2004, the Company received favorable guidance from the Internal Revenue Service which resolved this contingency, resulting in the reversal of the Company's net deferred tax assets.related liability and a reduction to goodwill (in accordance with SOP 90-7).


      The Company recognized current tax expense attributable to estimated, current taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and for the yearyears ended December 31, 2003. This expense was recorded2003 and December 31, 2004 due to the estimated utilization of NOL carryforwards generated prior to a previous bankruptcy filing in 1992 and prioruncertainty as to the occurrence of certain other events that may cause limitationCompany’s ability to realize deferred tax assets based on its NOL carryforwards. The Company's current tax expense in fiscal 2003 also includes changes in estimates regardinghistory of recent operating losses (prior to reorganization benefits) and financial restructuring activities and the Company's utilizationlack of the above-referenced NOL carryforwards duesubstantial history of profitable operations subsequent to amendments of prior year tax returns.its emergence from bankruptcy.

      The Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization, interest (net), goodwill impairment charges, special charges, income taxes and minority interest ("(“Segment Profit"Profit”). See Note 16—"Business Segment Information"Information” to the Company's auditedCompany’s consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. The Company'sCompany’s behavioral customer segments are defined below. In certain limited cases, customer contracts that would otherwise meet the definition of one segment are managed and reported internally in another segment, in which cases the membership and financial results of such contracts are reflected in the segment in which it is managed and reported internally. In fiscal 2003,During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company’s internal reporting of certain of these contracts was transferred betweenoperational and corporate support costs, such as claims administration and network services, changed to allocate such costs from the Corporate and Other segment to the Health Plan Solutions, Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions segments. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified the membership and financial results of such contracts for all prior periods to allocate such costs into the corresponding segments consistent with its internal reporting. This restatement did not affect consolidated membership or financial results for any period presented. In fiscal 2003, management also changed the name of its "Workplace" segment to the "Employer Solutions" segment. All periods presented were adjusted to conform with the fiscal 2003 restatement.2004 reclassification. This reclassification does not affect consolidated financial results for any periods presented. For comparative purposes, the Company has presented results of operations below for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2002, which information is unaudited.

      Health Plan Solutions

      Net Revenue

      Net revenue related to the Health Plan Solutions segment increased by 3.9 percent or $34.3 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year"Year. The increase in revenue is mainly due to favorable rate changes of $41.3 million, net increased membership from existing customers of $40.0 million, favorable contractual settlements with customers in the Current Year related to prior periods of $5.5 million, and other net changes totaling $8.5 million, which increases were partially offset by decreases due to terminated contracts of $61.0 million.

      Cost of Care

      Cost of care increased by 4.3 percent or $19.9 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The increase in cost of care is primarily due to net increased membership from existing and new customers of $20.7 million, favorable medical claims development related to prior periods recorded in the Prior Year of $11.4 million, and higher costs due to care trends and other net variances of $28.2 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $27.9 million and favorable medical claims development related to prior periods recorded in the Current Year of $7.1 million ($5.4 million of which relates to the Prior Year). Cost of care decreased as a percentage of risk revenue from 68.2 percent in the Prior Year to 66.8 percent in the Current Year, mainly due to increased revenue from favorable rate changes on risk membership and the net impact of medical claims development affecting the Current Year and the Prior Year, partially offset by higher costs due to care trends in the Current Year.

      Direct Service Costs

      Direct service costs decreased by 5.7 percent or $10.2 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The decrease in direct service costs is primarily due to cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company including the shutdown of several regional service centers. Direct service costs decreased as a percentage of revenue from 20.7 percent in the Prior Year to 18.8 percent in the Current Year. The decrease in the percentage of direct service costs in relationship to revenue is mainly due to the aforementioned cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company and favorable rate changes and other revenue increases since the Prior Year.


      Equity in (Earnings) Loss of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

      Equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased 19.6 percent or $1.3 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The decrease relates to a decrease in equity in earnings related to the Company’s investment in Royal Health Care, LLC (“Royal”), mainly attributable to a decrease in rates.

      Employer Solutions

      Net Revenue

      Net revenue related to the Employer Solutions segment decreased by 14.7 percent or $23.4 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts of $25.8 million, and net decreased membership from existing customers of $1.1 million, which decreases were partially offset by membership from new customers and other net changes of $3.5 million.

      Cost of Care

      Cost of care decreased by 17.1 percent or $7.7 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The decrease in cost of care is mainly due to terminated contracts of $5.8 million and lower costs due to care trends and other net changes of $1.9 million. The lower costs due to care trends for the Employer Solutions segment are partially due to the closure of several staff offices that had higher per visit costs than that incurred by utilizing the Company’s network of outpatient providers. Cost of care increased as a percentage of risk revenue from 29.6 percent in the Prior Year to 30.9 percent in the Current Year, mainly due to changes in business mix.

      Direct Service Costs

      Direct service costs decreased by 16.2 percent or $12.8 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The decrease in direct service costs is mainly due to lower costs required to support the Company’s decrease in net membership and due to cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company. Direct service costs decreased as a percentage of revenue from 49.7 percent in the Prior Year to 48.9 percent in the Current Year, mainly due to the aforementioned cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company.

      Public Sector Solutions

      Net Revenue

      Net revenue related to the Public Sector Solutions segment increased by 56.9 percent or $273.7 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The increase in revenue is mainly due to the net impact of including revenue related to Premier of $236.4 million for the Current Year. Effective December 31, 2003, FIN 46 was adopted, as required, pursuant to which the Company began consolidating the results of operations of Premier in its consolidated statement of operations as of January 1, 2004. Excluding the impact of consolidating Premier in the Current Year, net revenue increased by $37.3 million. This increase is primarily due to net increased membership from existing customers of $27.2 million, net rate increases of $26.6 million, increased revenue of $11.9 million associated with cost of care sharing provisions under the TennCare contracts, and other net increases of $1.1 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $29.5 million.

      Cost of Care

      Cost of care increased by 68.4 percent or $271.9 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The increase in cost of care is mainly due to the inclusion of approximately $236.4 million of expenses for care of Premier, due to the consolidation of the results of operations of Premier in 2004, as noted above. Excluding the impact of consolidating Premier in the Current Year, cost of care increased by $35.5 million.


      This increase is primarily due to net increased membership from existing customers of $23.2 million, and higher costs due to care trends and other net changes of $34.8 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $22.5 million. Cost of care increased as a percentage of risk revenue from 86.3 percent in the Prior Year to 90.6 percent in the Current Year, mainly due to the consolidation of the operating results of Premier in the Current Year, which has a higher ratio of care to risk revenue, and higher care trends experienced in the Current Year.

      Direct Service Costs

      Direct service costs were $40.5 million in each of the Prior Year and the Current Year. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 8.4 percent in the Prior Year to 5.4 percent in the Current Year, primarily due to the aforementioned consolidation of revenue of Premier in the Current Year.

      Equity in (Earnings) Loss of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

      The Company recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $0.4 million in the Prior Year, which represented its share of net loss realized by Premier. As noted above, the results of operations of Premier have been consolidated beginning in the Current Year in accordance with FIN 46.

      Corporate and Other

      Other Operating Expense

      Other operating expenses related to the Company’s Corporate and Other Segment decreased by 15.7 percent or $18.6 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. This decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the usage of consultants from the Prior Year of $8.0 million, insurance premiums of $7.5 million incurred in the Prior Year with respect to coverage after the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy for acts occurring prior to emergence and other net decreases of $3.1 million, mainly as a result of the Company’s cost reduction efforts. As a percentage of total net revenue, other operating expenses decreased from 7.9 percent for the Prior Year to 5.6 percent for the Current Year primarily due to the increase in revenue in the Current Year related to the consolidation of Premier (as described above) and the decreases in other operating expenses.

      Depreciation and Amortization

      Depreciation and amortization decreased by 11.6 percent or $5.6 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year. The decrease is primarily due to changes in the estimated remaining useful lives and basis of certain property and equipment and intangible assets as a result of the application of the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7 as of December 31, 2003, as well as the inclusion in the Prior Year of higher depreciation expense for certain capitalized software assets that became fully depreciated at March 31, 2003.

      Interest Expense

      Interest expense decreased by approximately 39.2 percent or $23.9 million from the Prior Year to the Current Year, due to the change in the Company’s debt structure as a result of the consummation of the Plan.

      Other Items

      A net reorganization benefit from continuing operations of approximately $438.2 million was recorded during the Prior Year. This amount is mainly composed of a $479.7 million net fresh start

      52




      reorganization gain, partially offset by the write-off of deferred financing costs and professional fees and expenses incurred associated with the financial restructuring process and chapter 11 proceedings. For further discussion, see Note 3—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Financial Reporting Under the Bankruptcy Code” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

      Special charges of $9.5 million and $5.0 million were recorded in the Prior Year and the Current Year, respectively. The special charges primarily consist of employee severance and termination benefits, lease termination costs and consulting fees related to restructuring plans that have resulted in the elimination of certain positions and the closure of certain offices. The Prior Year special charges include income related to the collection of a previously reserved note receivable. See Note 12—“Special Charges” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion.

      Goodwill impairment charges of $28.8 million were recorded in the Prior Year. The charge represents impairments to the Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units, based on the comparison between the carrying value and the fair market value of the segments, as estimated by an independent appraisal firm. The Prior Year write-down was attributable to the Company’s financial performance and its business outlook as of September 1, 2003 (the Predecessor Company’s annual measurement date), and resulted in the complete write-down of goodwill related to the Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units.

      Stock compensation expense of $23.2 million was recorded in the Current Year mainly related to stock purchased by the CEO, stock granted to the Company’s senior executives, in-the-money stock options granted to management (including senior executives) and stock granted to non-management members of the Board of Directors who are not affiliated with Onex. See discussion of stock compensation expense in “Outlook—Results of Operations” below.

      Income Taxes

      The Company’s effective income tax rate was 35.4 percent in the Current Year and was 7.0 percent in the Prior Year. For the Current Year and the Prior Year, the Company recorded taxes based on its estimated current taxable income due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets based on its history of recent operating losses (prior to reorganization benefits) and financial restructuring activities and, for the Current Year, the lack of substantial history of profitable operations subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy. In accordance with SOP 90-7, subsequent (post-bankruptcy) utilization by the Company of NOLs which existed at January 5, 2004 will be accounted for as reductions to goodwill or additional paid-in capital and therefore, will only benefit cash flows due to reduced tax payments and will not benefit the Company’s tax provision for income taxes. The Current Year effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to certain transactions which occurred pursuant to the Plan, as consummated on the Effective Date, that reduced taxable income for 2004 but reduced book income in 2003 under SOP 90-7.

      The Prior Year effective rate varies from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the Company’s recording, in the Prior Year, of a non-taxable fresh start reporting gain of $479.7 million and changes in estimates regarding the utilization of NOLs that existed prior to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in 1992 due to the finalization and amendment of certain previous year income tax returns.

      The loss from the healthcare provider and franchising segments in the Prior Year is primarily the result of the settlement of a significant claim in the chapter 11 proceeding, which under SOP 90-7 was recorded in 2003. Because the Company records tax expense based on its estimate of current taxable income (as discussed above) and the settlement of such claim reduces 2004 taxable income, the Current Year income from the healthcare provider and franchising segments is primarily attributable to the income tax benefit of $8.0 million with respect to the settlement of such claim.

      The loss from the human services segment in the Current Year represents a change in estimated reserves for various accrued liabilities. The loss from the specialty managed healthcare segment in the Prior Year is a result of an increase in estimates of certain reserves for the segment.

      The Current Year loss on disposal for the healthcare provider and franchising segments reflects the loss recognized attributable to the sale of a hospital facility formerly used in the operations of such segments, with net proceeds of $2.3 million being received from the sale. The Prior Year income on disposal related to the healthcare provider and franchising segments is attributable to changes in estimates of previously recorded joint venture liabilities related to the disposal of the segment, gains on the sale of a hospital facility of $0.7 million (before taxes) and cash received as a final distribution associated with a discontinued provider joint venture of $0.8 million (before taxes).

      The Prior Year income on disposal in the specialty managed healthcare segment is primarily the result of cash received as a partial payment on a note receivable that had been fully reserved in fiscal 2001, resulting in a gain of $1.3 million (before taxes), and a favorable change in estimated lease reserves of $0.5 million (before taxes).

      Health Plan Solutions

      Net Revenue.Net revenue related to the Health Plan Solutions segment decreased by 11.9 percent or $118.0$117.9 million from Calendar 2002 to $870.5 million for the Current Year from $988.5 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts of $109.2 million, a reduction in revenue under the Company'sCompany’s contract with Aetna (primarily due to decreased membership) of $30.2 million, and contract changes (mainly risk to non-risk) of $23.3 million, and lower performance revenue of $2.7 million (see below), which decreases were partially offset by net increased membership from existing and new customers (excluding Aetna) of $24.6 million (mainly related to non-risk membership), net increases in rates of $17.8 million, and other net increases of $5.0$2.4 million.

              Performance-based revenues for the Health Plan Solutions segment were $9.3 million and $6.6 million for the Prior Year and Current Year, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the Prior Year including performance revenue for a contract that no longer has performance revenue terms.

      Cost of Care.Cost of care decreased by 20.2 percent or $117.8 million from Calendar 2002 to $464.1 million for the Current Year from $581.9 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003.

Excluding the impact in the Current YearCalendar 2003 of favorable Prior YearCalendar 2002 care development, cost of care decreased as a percentage of risk revenue decreased from 70.8 percent in the Prior Yearfor Calendar 2002 to 69.9 percent in the Current Year,for Calendar 2003, mainly due to changes in business mix..

      Direct Service Costs.Direct service costs decreased by 20.315.0 percent or $33.3$31.7 million from Calendar 2002 to $130.7 million for the Current Year from $164.0 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in direct service costs is primarily due to cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company including the shutdown of several regional service centers, as well as lower costs required to support the decrease in net membership in the Health Plan Solutions segment. Direct service costs decreased as a percentage of revenue decreased from 16.621.5 percent for the Prior YearCalendar 2002 to 15.020.7 percent for the Current Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in

      55



      the percentage of direct service costs in relationship to revenue is mainly due to the aforementioned cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company and rate increases since the Prior Year.Calendar 2002.

      Equity in (Earnings) Loss of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.Equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased 51.852.1 percent or $7.1 million from Calendar 2002 to $(6.6) million for the Current Year from $(13.7) million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease primarily relates to the Company'sCompany’s withdrawal from the Choice partnership Behavioral Health Partnership (“Choice”)


      as of the end of October 2002, with equity in (earnings) of Choice totaling $(9.0) million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2002. Partially offsetting this reduction is an increase of $1.9 million in equity in (earnings) related to the Royal Health Care, LLC joint venture, (in which the Company has a 36.3 percent ownership interest).mainly due to increased membership.

      Employer Solutions

      Employer Solutions

      Net Revenue.Net revenue related to the Employer Solutions segment decreased by 16.1 percent or $30.5 million from Calendar 2002 to $159.0 million for the Current Year from $189.5 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts of $23.6 million, net decreased membership from existing customers of $8.3 million, and contract changes (mainly risk to non-risk) of $3.0 million, which decreases were partially offset by other net changes of $4.4 million.

      Cost of Care.Cost of care decreased by 38.0 percent or $27.5 million from Calendar 2002 to $44.9 million for the Current Year from $72.4 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003.

The favorable care trends are partially due to the closure of several staff offices which had higher per cost visits than that incurred by utilizing the Company'sCompany’s contracted network of outpatient providers. Cost of care decreased as a percentage of risk revenue decreased from 40.2 percent in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 to 29.929.6 percent in the Current Year,Calendar 2003, mainly due to favorable care trends experienced in the Current YearCalendar 2003 and changes in business mix.

      Direct Service Costs.Direct service costs decreased by 10.06.3 percent or $7.6$5.3 million from Calendar 2002 to $68.1 million for the Current Year from $75.7 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in direct service costs is mainly due to lower costs required to support the decrease in net membership in the Employer Solutions segment. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs increased from 39.944.5 percent for the Prior Yearin Calendar 2002 to 42.849.7 percent for the Current Year.in Calendar 2003. The increase in the percentage of direct service costs in relationship to revenue is mainly due to the reduction in revenue due to terminated contracts and decreased membership from existing customers (as described above), for which the direct service costs are not reduced proportionally, or such reductions are accomplished on a delayed basis.

      Public Sector Solutions

      Net Revenue.Net revenue related to the Public Sector Solutions segment decreased by 16.5 percent or $94.9 million from Calendar 2002 to $481.2 million for the Current Year from $576.1 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to a net reduction in revenue with respect to the TennCare program of $83.3 million, primarily as a result of a program change (as described above), a contract change with respect to the Pennsylvania Counties of $42.9 million and terminated contracts of $4.9 million, which decreases were partially offset by net increased membership from other existing customers of $30.4 million, net rate increases (other than from TennCare) of $4.9 million and other net increases of $0.9 million.

      Cost of Care.Cost of care decreased by 16.8 percent or $80.1 million from Calendar 2002 to $397.5 million for the Current Year from $477.6 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in cost of care is mainly due to a net reduction in cost of care with respect to the TennCare program of $79.5 million, primarily as a result of a program change (as described above), and a contract change with respect to the Pennsylvania Counties of $31.6 million, which decreases were partially offset by net increased

      56



      membership from other existing customers of $24.3 million and higher costs due to care trends (other than with respect to TennCare) and other net changes of approximately $6.7 million. Cost of care as a percentage of risk revenue was relatively consistent for both periods at 86.6 percent in the Prior Year and 86.3 percent in the Current Year.periods.

      Direct Service Costs.Direct service costs decreased by 31.626.0 percent or $13.3$14.2 million from Calendar 2002 to $28.8 million for the Current Year from $42.1 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease in direct service costs is primarily due to cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company and a contract change with respect to the Pennsylvania Counties contracts, partially offset by higher costs required to support the increase in net membership in the Public Sector


      Solutions segment. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 7.39.5 percent forin Calendar 2002 to 8.4 percent in Calendar 2003, due to the Prior Year to 6.0 percent for the Current Year.reasons noted above.

      Equity in (Earnings) Loss of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.Equity in loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased $(1.3)$1.3 million to $0.4 million for the Current YearCalendar 2003 from $1.7 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2002. The investment in unconsolidated subsidiary relates to Premier. The year-to-dateCalendar 2003 improvement is primarily due to increased risk share revenue, favorable runout of prior period IBNR and favorable rate changes, which changes were partially offset by decreased membership.

      Corporate and Other

      Other Operating Expenses.Other operating costs related to the Corporate and Other Segment increased by 13.620.1 percent or $22.8$19.8 million from Calendar 2002 to $190.8 million for the Current Year from $168.0 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The increase is mainly due to higher discretionary employee benefit costs of $21.5$11.4 million, (the Prior Year included a change in estimate to reduce certain discretionary employee benefit cost accruals of $2.0 million), insurance premiums of $7.5 million with respect to coverage after the Company'sCompany’s emergence from bankruptcy for acts occurring prior to emergence, and the inclusion in the Prior YearCalendar 2003 of the favorable impact of changes in estimates of the reserves previously recorded for employee health benefits, self-insurance and litigation totaling approximately $3.5 million. Such increases in other operating expenses were partially offset by the Company'sCompany’s cost reduction efforts undertaken in the Current Year.Calendar 2003. As a percentage of total net revenue, other operating expenses increased from 9.65.6 percent for the Prior YearCalendar 2002 to 12.67.9 percent for the Current YearCalendar 2003 due to the lower revenue in the Current YearCalendar 2003 (as described above) and the increase in other operating expenses.

      Depreciation and Amortization.Depreciation and amortization decreased by 5.3 percent or $2.7 million from Calendar 2002 to $48.0 million for the Current Year from $50.7 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in depreciation expense mainly related to certain capitalized software assets that became fully depreciated at March 31, 2003, partially offset by an increase in amortization expense related to an adjustment of the remaining useful lives of certain intangible assets as of October 1, 2002.

      Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased by 38.5 percent or $38.2 million from Calendar 2002 to $61.0 million for the Current Year from $99.2 million for the Prior Year.Calendar 2003. The decrease is mainly due to the fact that the Company did not accrue interest after March 11, 2003 of approximately $45.3 million for the Old Subordinated Notes as a result of the chapter 11 filing, in accordance with SOP 90-7. Such decrease was partially offset by increased interest expense incurred under the Old Credit Agreement of approximately $2.9 million, mainly related to higher borrowing levels on the Company'sCompany’s Old Revolving Facility and higher overall interest rates charged for all loans under the Old Credit Agreement, $3.9 million related to the Aetna Note and other net increases of $0.3 million.

      Other Items.The Company recorded a net reorganization benefit from continuing operations of approximately $438.2 million during the Current Year.in Calendar 2003. This amount is mainly composed of a $479.7 million net fresh start reorganization gain, partially offset by the write-off of deferred financing costs and professional fees and expenses associated with the Company'sCompany’s financial restructuring process and chapter 11 proceedings. For further discussion, see Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting

      57



      Policies—Financial Reporting Under the Bankruptcy Code"Code” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

      The Company recorded special charges of $9.5 million and $15.2 million in the Current YearCalendar 2003 and the Prior Year,Calendar 2002, respectively. The special charges primarily relate to restructuring plans that have resulted in the elimination of certain positions and the closure of certain offices, partially offset by income recorded to special charges related to the collection of a previously reserved note receivable. The charges related to restructuring plans primarily consist of employee severance and termination benefits, lease termination costs and consulting fees. See Note 12—"Special Charges"Charges” to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion.


      The Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $28.8 million and $415.9 million in the Current YearCalendar 2003 and the Prior Year,Calendar 2002, respectively. The Current YearCalendar 2003 charge represents impairments to the Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units, based on the comparison between the carrying value and the fair market value of the segments, as estimated by an independent appraisal firm. The Current YearCalendar 2003 write-down was attributable to the Company'sCompany’s financial performance and its business outlook as of September 1, 2003, (the annual measurement date), and resulted in the complete write-down of goodwill related to the Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units. In the Prior Year,Calendar 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge to write-down the balance of goodwill related to the Health Plan Solutions, Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units to estimated fair value, based on independently appraised values. The Prior YearCalendar 2002 write-down occurred due to changes in the Company'sCompany’s financial performance and its business outlook from the beginning of the year through September 1, 2002, which decreased the estimated fair value of the Company'sCompany’s reporting units.

      Income Taxes.The Company'sCompany’s effective income tax rate was 7.0 percent for the Current YearCalendar 2003 as compared to (38.8)(38.0) percent for Calendar 2002. For Calendar 2003 and Calendar 2002 the Prior Year.Company recorded taxes based on estimated current taxable income due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets based on its history of recent operating losses (prior to reorganization benefits) and financial restructuring activities and the lack of substantial history of profitable operations subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy. In accordance with SOP 90-7, subsequent (post-bankruptcy) utilization by the Company of NOLs which existed at January 5, 2004 will be accounted for as reductions to goodwill or additional paid-in capital and therefore, will only benefit cash flows due to reduced tax payments and will not benefit the Company’s tax provision for income taxes. The Current YearCalendar 2003 effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the Company’s recording, in Calendar 2003, of a non-taxable fresh start reporting gain of $479.7 million and changes in estimates regarding the utilization of NOLs that existed prior to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in 1992 due to the finalization and amendment of certain prior year income tax returns.

      The Calendar 2002 effective rate varies substantially from the federal statutory rates because the Company's effective rate is based only on current expense due to full valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and the estimated utilization of net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards generated prior to a previous bankruptcy filing in 1992 and prior to the occurrence of certain other events which may cause limitations on its NOL carryforwards. In addition, the Company notes that its Current Year taxable income is affected by the non-taxable impact of the fresh start reporting gain and non-deductible goodwill included in the Current Year goodwill impairment charge. Under SOP 90-7, the deferred tax benefit related to the realization of the pre-1992 bankruptcy NOL carryforwards is not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The income tax provision in the Current Year also considers certain changes in estimates regarding the Company's anticipated utilization of pre-1992 bankruptcy NOL carryforwards due to amendments of prior year tax returns.

              The Prior Year effective rate varies substantially from federal statutory rates primarily due to the impact of non-deductible goodwill included in the prior year goodwill impairment charge and a valuation allowance adjustment to reduce the Company'sCompany’s deferred tax asset balance to zero due to the uncertainty as to the Company'sCompany’s ability to realize its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

      The loss for the Current YearCalendar 2003 in the healthcare provider and franchising segments is primarily the result of the settlement of a significant claim, which resulted in an adjustment to discontinued operations legal expense of $24.0 million, for which there was no tax effect. Income from the healthcare provider and franchising segments for the Prior YearCalendar 2002 includes a reduction of estimates of reserves pertaining to the former psychiatric hospital facilities of $4.3 million (before taxes) and the positive settlement of outstanding Medicare and Medicaid cost reports of $4.3 million (before taxes), partially offset by the cost of collections, legal fees and other costs.

      The loss for the Current YearCalendar 2003 in the specialty managed healthcare segment is a result of an increase in estimates of certain reserves for the segment. Income from the specialty managed healthcare segment for the Prior YearCalendar 2002 is a result of a change in estimate of certain lease reserves of $0.3 million (before taxes) related to the settlement of a lease obligation. See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

      The Current YearCalendar 2003 income on disposal in the healthcare provider and franchising segments is attributable to changes in estimates of previously recorded joint venture liabilities related to the disposal of the segment. Additionally, the Current YearCalendar 2003 income on disposal includes gains on the sale of a hospital facility of $0.7 million (before taxes) and cash received as a final distribution associated with a discontinued provider joint venture of $0.8 million (before taxes).

      The Current YearCalendar 2003 income on disposal in the specialty managed healthcare segment is primarily the result of cash received as a partial payment on a note receivable held by the Company that the Company had been fully reserved in fiscal 2001, resulting in a gain of $1.3 million (before taxes), and a favorable change in estimated lease reserves of $0.5 million (before taxes). Loss on disposal in the specialty managed healthcare segment in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 is primarily the result of an increase in lease reserves of approximately $(2.3)$2.3 million (before taxes) to reflect changes in estimates, which loss is offset by $0.7 million (before taxes) in cash received as partial payment on a note receivable held by the Company that the Company had been fully reserved in fiscal 2001.

      The Prior YearCalendar 2002 income on disposal in the human services segment is the result of a change in estimate of self-insurance and other reserves.

      Fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001

      Health Plan Solutions

              Net Revenue.    Net revenue related to the Health Plan Solutions segment decreased by 6.2 percent or $66.5 million to $1,013.0 million in fiscal 2002 from $1,079.5 million in fiscal 2001. During fiscal 2001, the Company settled certain contract appeals related to two subcontracts with respect to TRICARE that resulted in additional revenues of $30.3 million. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to TRICARE settlements of $30.3 million, the decrease in revenue under the Company's contract with Aetna (mainly due to decreased membership) of $65.2 million, terminated contracts in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 of $38.7 million, contract changes (mainly risk to non-risk) of $16.1 million, decreased performance-based revenue of $7.6 million (see below) and the effect of the fiscal 2001 sale of Group Practice Affiliates, Inc. ("GPA"), a staff model physician practice, of $2.2 million, which decreases were partially offset by net increases in rates of $41.4 million, net increased membership from existing customers (excluding Aetna) of $38.4 million, new business of $11.0 million and other net changes.

              The Company earns performance-based fees as part of certain of its health plan contracts. Performance-based revenues are recorded when earned and estimable. Performance-based revenues for the Health Plan Solutions segment were $19.9 million and $12.3 million in fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the inclusion in fiscal 2001 of positive changes in estimates regarding fiscal 2000 amounts and other positive contractual developments in fiscal 2001 under certain arrangements for which no contract periods had been settled in fiscal 2000.

              Cost of Care.    Cost of care decreased by 4.0 percent or $25.0 million to $596.8 million in fiscal 2002 from $621.8 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease in cost of care is primarily due to decreased membership from Aetna of $46.6 million, terminated contracts in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 of $24.1 million, net contract changes (mainly risk to non-risk) of $16.1 million and unfavorable prior fiscal year medical claims development during fiscal 2001 of $15.0 million, which decreases were partially offset by higher care trends over the prior year of $31.6 million, net increased membership from existing customers (excluding Aetna) of $22.7 million, unfavorable prior fiscal year medical claims development during fiscal 2002 of $8.6 million (which entirely relates to fiscal 2001), new business of $5.2 million and other net changes. Cost of care increased as a percentage of risk revenue to 71.8 percent in fiscal 2002 from 69.4 percent in fiscal 2001, mainly due to higher care trends experienced in fiscal 2002 and the inclusion of revenue from the TRICARE settlement in fiscal 2001, partially offset by rate and other revenue increases in fiscal 2002.

              Direct Service Costs.    Direct service costs decreased by 2.7 percent or $4.9 million to $174.9 million in fiscal 2002 from $179.8 million in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs increased to 17.3 percent for fiscal 2002 from 16.7 percent for fiscal 2001. The decrease in direct service costs is primarily due to the sale of GPA and cost reduction efforts undertaken by the Company including the shutdown of several regional service centers. The increase in the percentage of direct service costs in relationship to revenue is mainly due to the inclusion of revenue from the TRICARE settlement in fiscal 2001, partially offset by rate and other revenue increases in fiscal 2002.

              Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.    Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased by 60.3 percent or $23.6 million to $15.5 million in fiscal 2002 from $39.1 million in fiscal 2001. During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded $22.6 million of earnings in connection with the settlement of certain appeals related to the Choice partnership's subcontract with respect to TRICARE. These settlements increased the Company's fiscal 2001 income from continuing operations and net income by approximately $13.5 million. The decrease in equity in earnings is primarily due to the fiscal 2001 TRICARE settlement, lower revenue from Choice due to decreased rates in the current

      60



      option year and higher care trends for Choice of approximately $1.7 million, partially offset by a favorable $0.7 million retroactive adjustment recorded in fiscal 2002 associated with a change in the operating agreement for Royal.

      Employer Solutions

              Net Revenue.    Net revenue related to the Employer Solutions segment decreased by 0.5 percent or $0.9 million to $188.7 million in fiscal 2002 from $189.6 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 of $10.4 million, the effect of the fiscal 2001 sale of the Company's Canadian operations, which contributed $3.3 million of revenue in fiscal 2001 and other net decreases of $1.8 million, which decreases were partially offset by net increased membership from existing customers of $10.5 million and new business of $4.1 million.

              Cost of Care.    Cost of care increased by 12.1 percent or $7.8 million to $72.4 million in fiscal 2002 from $64.6 million in fiscal 2001. The increase in cost of care is mainly due to higher care trends of $8.7 million, net increased membership from existing customers of $3.4 million and new business of $0.3 million, partially offset by terminated contracts of $4.0 million and the sale of the Company's Canadian operations of $0.6 million. As a percentage of risk revenue, cost of care increased to 40.3 percent for fiscal 2002 from 36.7 percent for fiscal 2001, mainly due to higher care trends experienced in fiscal 2002.

              Direct Service Costs.    Direct service costs increased by 4.6 percent or $3.4 million to $76.8 million in fiscal 2002 from $73.4 million in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs increased to 40.7 percent for fiscal 2002 from 38.7 percent for fiscal 2001. The aforementioned changes are mainly due to a change in the mix of business to include more ASO and cost-plus contracts in fiscal 2002.

      Public Sector Solutions

              Net Revenue.    Net revenue related to the Public Sector Solutions segment increased by 13.4 percent or $65.0 million to $551.3 million in fiscal 2002 from $486.3 million in fiscal 2001. The increase in revenue is mainly due to new business of $44.1 million and net rate increases of $28.5 million, partially offset by net decreased membership from existing customers of $7.6 million and terminated contracts of $1.2 million and other net changes.

              Cost of Care.    Cost of care increased by 11.1 percent or $45.5 million to $456.5 million in fiscal 2002 from $411.0 million in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of risk revenue, cost of care decreased to 86.6 percent for fiscal 2002 from 87.7 percent for fiscal 2001. The increase in cost of care is mainly due to new business of $35.0 million and higher care trends of $24.6 million, partially offset by net decreased membership from existing customers of $9.4 million, favorable prior fiscal year medical claims development during fiscal 2002 of $2.2 million (which entirely relates to fiscal 2001), terminated contracts of $0.2 million and other net changes.

              Direct Service Costs.    Direct service costs increased by 8.4 percent or $3.2 million to $41.4 million in fiscal 2002 from $38.2 million in fiscal 2001. The increase in direct service costs is primarily due to costs associated with new business. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 7.9 percent for fiscal 2001 to 7.5 percent for fiscal 2002. This change is primarily due to favorable rate changes, which increased revenue but had no effect on direct service costs.

              Equity in Loss of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.    Equity in loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries was $(2.5) million for both fiscal 2002 and 2001. The Public Sector Solutions segment's investment in unconsolidated subsidiary relates to Premier, in which the Company maintains a 50.0 percent interest. Results for fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 reflect higher care trends which were entirely offset by rate increases and the inclusion in fiscal 2001 of an expense of $3.1 million for certain legal actions.

      61


      Corporate and Other

              Other Operating Expenses.    Other operating costs related to the Corporate and Other Segment decreased by 1.0 percent or $1.7 million to $166.5 million in fiscal 2002 from $168.2 million in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of total revenue, other operating costs decreased to 9.5 percent for fiscal 2002 from 9.6 percent for fiscal 2001. The decrease in other operating expenses is mainly due to lower headcount in various corporate departments of $0.4 million, reduction in discretionary employee benefit costs of $1.3 million, changes in estimates for certain employee benefit related costs recorded in the prior fiscal year of $0.4 million and certain self insurance and legal reserves of approximately $4.0 million, partially offset by fees incurred in conjunction with migration of operating systems of $1.3 million and other net changes.

              Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization decreased by 30.3 percent or $20.7 million to $47.6 million in fiscal 2002 from $68.3 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the implementation of SFAS 142 in fiscal 2002. Had the Company adopted SFAS 142 effective October 1, 2000, the Company would not have recorded approximately $30.2 million of amortization expense related to continuing operations during fiscal 2001. Partially offsetting this decrease is $5.7 million of increased depreciation expense related to revisions to the estimated useful lives of certain assets and increased depreciation expense associated with fixed asset additions in fiscal 2002. See Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 142.

              Interest, Net.    Net interest expense decreased by 8.1 percent or $8.1 million to $92.2 million for fiscal 2002 from $100.3 million in fiscal 2001. Fiscal year 2001 interest expense includes approximately $6.6 million to write-off deferred loan costs related to the issuance of the Old Senior Notes. The charge of $6.6 million was previously reported as an extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of the tax benefit of $2.6 million. The fiscal 2001 write-off of the deferred loan costs was reclassified to interest expense due to the adoption of SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145") in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. Fiscal year 2001 also benefited from $2.1 million of interest income received in conjunction with a retroactive pricing adjustment related to a customer contract. In fiscal 2002, the Company incurred approximately $1.9 million in penalty interest due to non-registration of the Old Senior Notes. Excluding the items above, net interest expense decreased by approximately $5.5 million from fiscal 2001. The decrease is primarily the result of lower average outstanding debt and lower average interest rates in fiscal 2002 versus fiscal 2001. The lower average outstanding debt is due to scheduled payments of principal on the Term Loans under the Old Credit Agreement as well as unscheduled payments under the Old Credit Agreement with the proceeds from the sale of the Company's human services segment in fiscal 2001.

              Other Items.    The Company recorded special charges of $3.3 million in fiscal 2001 related to the loss on the sale of the Company's Canadian subsidiary. The Company recorded special charges of $15.7 million in fiscal 2002 related to restructuring plans that have resulted in the elimination of certain positions and the closure of certain offices. These charges primarily consist of severance, lease and consulting fees. See Note 12—"Special Charges" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion. During fiscal 2002, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $415.9 million related to its annual impairment test of goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142. This impairment charge was a result of writing down the balance of goodwill related to the Health Plan Solutions, Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units to estimated fair value, based upon independently appraised values. For further discussion, see Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              Income Taxes.    The Company's financial restructuring activities and financial condition result in uncertainty as to the Company's ability to realize its net operating loss carryforwards and other

      62



      deferred tax assets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2002, the Company recorded an increase to its valuation allowance of $200.5 million, resulting in a total valuation allowance covering all of the Company's net deferred tax assets. Excluding the impact of this valuation allowance adjustment, the Company's effective income tax rate was approximately (12.5) percent for fiscal 2002 as compared to 53.5 percent for fiscal 2001. The effective rate varies substantially from statutory rates due primarily to the impact of non-deductible goodwill included in the fiscal 2002 goodwill impairment charge, non-deductible goodwill amortization in fiscal 2001 and non-deductible intangible asset amortization resulting primarily from acquisitions.

              Discontinued Operations.    The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax (in thousands):

        $4,624 $4,894
        
       

              Income from the healthcare provider and franchising segments in fiscal 2002 includes a reduction of estimates of regulatory reserves pertaining to the former psychiatric hospitals of approximately $5.2 million, before taxes. Additionally, the Company recorded positive settlements of outstanding Medicare and Medicaid cost reports of $7.4 million in fiscal 2002, offset by the cost of collections, legal fees and other costs of exiting the business. Loss from the healthcare provider and franchising segments for fiscal 2001 is a result of the positive settlement of outstanding Medicare and Medicaid cost reports of $6.3 million and collection of certain receivables previously written off of $1.0 million, offset by the cost of collections, lease termination payments and other costs of exiting the business.

              Income from the specialty managed healthcare segment for fiscal 2001 represents the settlement of obligations for less than the amount previously estimated. See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              Income from the human services segment of $1.8 million for fiscal 2001 is primarily the result of operating results prior to the sale of the segment in the second fiscal quarter of 2001. See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, the income (loss) on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax (in thousands):

              In fiscal 2002, the Company and its joint venture partner sold the operations and assets of the remaining provider joint venture ("Provider JV"), resulting in the Company receiving $3.5 million in cash and recording a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.3 million. In conjunction with the Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS") settlement consummated in fiscal 2001, the Company was released from certain liabilities and therefore determined that certain liabilities recorded as a result of certain transactions with CBHS during fiscal 1999 were no longer needed. The reversal of these liabilities, net of tax, was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2001, resulting in a change in estimate related to the loss on disposal of the healthcare provider and franchising segments of $2.7 million.

      63



              The loss on disposal of the specialty managed healthcare segment in fiscal 2002 is primarily attributable to net changes in estimates of certain future lease obligations and other reserves of approximately $2.5 million.

              Income from disposal of the human services segment in fiscal 2002 represents changes in estimates regarding previously recorded liabilities related to the disposal of the segment. The Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of the human service segment of approximately $12.1 million during fiscal 2001. This loss is comprised of an estimated pre-tax loss of $2.8 million and tax provision of $9.3 million. The tax provision is related to the tax gain on the sale which results from a lower tax basis, primarily due to approximately $26.1 million of goodwill that has no tax basis. See Note 5—"Discontinued Operations" to the Company's audited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.    As of October 1, 2001, the Company early adopted SFAS 142. The initial goodwill impairment charge of $207.8 million, before taxes ($191.6 million after taxes), was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle during such fiscal quarter. This impairment charge was a result of writing down the balance of goodwill related to the Employer Solutions reporting unit to estimated fair value as of October 1, 2001, based upon independently appraised values. For further discussion, see Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

      Outlook—Results of Operations

      The Company's Segment ProfitCompany’s segment profit and net income are subject to significant fluctuations on a quarterly basis.from period to period. These fluctuations may result from:from a variety of factors such as those set forth under Item 1—“Business—Cautionary Statements as well as a variety of other factors including: (i) changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the Company'sCompany’s risk-based contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns; (ii) performance-based contractual adjustments to revenue, reflecting utilization results or other performance measures; (iii) contractual adjustments and settlements; (iv)(iii) retrospective membership adjustments; (v)(iv) timing of implementation of new contracts, enrollment changes and contract terminations; (vi)(v) pricing adjustments upon contract renewals (and price competition in general) and (vii)(vi) changes in estimates regarding medical costs and incurred but not yet reported medical claims.


      A portion of the Company'sCompany’s business is subject to rising care costs due to an increase in the number and frequency of covered members seeking behavioral care services, and higher costs per inpatient day or outpatient visit. Many of these factors are beyond the Company'sCompany’s control. Future results of operations will be heavily dependent on management'smanagement’s ability to obtain customer rate increases that are consistent with care cost increases and/orand /or to reduce operating expenses.

      The Company is a market leader in a mature market with many viable competitors. The Company is continuing its attempts to increasegrow its market sharebusiness in the managed behavioral healthcare industry through aggressive marketing and development of new products; however, due to the amountmaturity of competition,the market, the Company believes that the probability of losing market shareability to these competitorsgrow its current business lines may be greater than the probability of increasing market share. The Company anticipates a reduction in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 revenue compared to fiscal 2003 due to contracts that had been terminated effective in 2003 and contracts that have been terminated with an effective date in 2004, as well as potential additional contract terminations in 2004. Such terminations include the two subcontracts with respect to TRICARE discussed above, one of which expired as of April 30, 2003, and the other of which will expire on September 30, 2004.limited. In addition, it is possible that the Company'sCompany’s customers that are managed care companies may in the future, seek to provide managed behavioral healthcare services directly to their subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company for such services.

      Stock Compensation.Pursuant to employee agreements entered into as part of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company granted a total of 167,926 shares of Ordinary Common Stock to the

      64


      Company's Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "Senior Executives"“Senior Executives”). Pursuant to his employment agreement, the Chief Executive Officer purchased 83,963 fully-vestedfully vested shares of Ordinary Common Stock on the Effective Date. Under such agreements, the Company also granted an aggregate of 2,891,022 stock options to the Senior Executives on the Effective Date and made cash payments to the Senior Executives to approximate the tax liability associated with the Senior Executives’ compensation expenseincome resulting from the stock grants, the stock purchase and the cash payments, as defined below. Also onUnder the Effective Date, pursuant to the consummation of the Plan, a2003 Management Incentive Plan, became effective under which 1,376,4001,511,500 stock options were awarded to other members of the Company'sCompany’s management and other employees.employees during fiscal 2004. All of these awards were contingent upon the Company'sCompany’s emergence from its chapter 11 proceedings, relate to underlying common stock that was not authorized until the Effective Date and relate to services to be performed by the employees subsequent to the Effective Date.

              BeginningUnder APB 25, the Reorganized Company recorded stock compensation expense during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 of $23.2 million, as reflected in the first quarteraccompanying consolidated statements of fiscal 2004, the Company will recognize the following chargesoperations, related to stock compensation:the following:

        ·with respect to the grants of restricted stock to the Senior Executive officers, the Company will recordrecognized a charge equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Common Stock at the time of grant (the price at which the stock traded on the first day of trading) multiplied by the shares granted, plus the cash amount paid to the Senior Executives with regard to income taxes related to such grants.

        ·with respect to the shares purchased by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will recognizerecognized a charge equal to the extentdifference between the fair market value of the Ordinary Common Stock at the time of purchase (the price at which the stock traded on the first day of trading) exceededand the price paid for such shares multiplied by the shares purchased, plus the amount paid to the Chief Executive Officer with regard to income taxes related to such purchase.

        ·with respect to the grant of options to the Senior Executives and other members of management and other employees, a charge will be recognizedwas computed equal to the extentdifference between the fair market value of the Ordinary Common Stock at the time of grant (the(for the options granted to the Senior Executives, the price at which the stock traded on the first day of trading) exceededand the exercise prices of the options, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the options (approximately 4.3(4.2 million shares in the aggregate). Generally, thisThis charge will beis being recognized ratably over the vesting periods of the options, which range from three to four years. However, compensationCompensation expense related to two of the three tranches of stock options granted to the Senior Executives, covering approximately 2.1 million shares, may becould have been recognized over a period of upranging from three to seven years, depending on the market price performance of the


        Ordinary Common Stock.

      However, as a result of the market price performance to-date of the Ordinary Common Stock, the Company is recognizing compensation expense for the Senior Executive stock options over three years.

      ·       with respect to 13,595 shares of Ordinary Common Stock granted to non-management members of the board of directors who are not affiliated with Onex, pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Director Stock Compensation Plan, the Company recognized a charge equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Common Stock at the time of grant.

      The Company estimates that the total amount of such charges will be $58.4$56.5 million, before taxes. Based upon a seventhree year vesting schedule for the two Senior Executive tranches, as discussed above, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $18.7the remaining charges of $15.0 million, $10.6 million, $10.6 million $7.4$15.0 million, and $11.1$3.3 million of such charges in fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, and 2008 and beyond, respectively. However, certain of these charges may be accelerated depending on the market price performance of the Ordinary Common Stock, as discussed above.

      Interest Rate Risk.Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company'sCompany’s cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Based on the amount of cash equivalents and investments and the borrowing levels under the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date,December 31, 2004, a hypothetical 10 percent increase in the interest rate, with all other variables held constant, would not materially affect the Company'sCompany’s future earnings and cash outflows.

      Operating Restructuring Activities.    In AprilDuring the fiscal year ended September 31, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company implemented a new businessincurred special charges of $15.7 million, $3.9 million, $9.5 million and performance initiative, named Performance Improvement Plan ("PIP"). PIP is$5.0 million, respectively. The majority of the special charges were incurred related the Company’s restructuring initiatives which were generally focused on further consolidating service centers, creating more efficiencies in corporate overhead, consolidating systems, improving call center technology and instituting other operational and business efficiencies while

      65



      maintaining or improving service to customers. The Company does not anticipate incurring any material additional charges related to such restructuring initiatives during fiscal 2005.

      Historical—Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Reorganized Company year ended December 31, 2004 (“Current Year”), compared to the Predecessor Company year ended December 31, 2003 (“Prior Year”)

      Operating Activities.Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $14.9 million for the Current Year as compared to the Prior Year. The decrease in operating cash flows is primarily due to net payments for liabilities related to the chapter 11 proceedings that include professional fees and claim settlements and an increase in cash interest payments. Partially offsetting these reductions to operating cash flows is the Company’s increase in segment profit and a net increase in cash receipts related to unconsolidated subsidiaries.

      During the Current Year, net bankruptcy-related liabilities decreased by approximately $66.7 million, which is primarily attributable to claim settlements and the payment of professional fees. Such amount is net of the receipt of $15.2 million from Onex related to shares purchased under its commitment to fund the Cash-Out Election. Cash interest payments made in the Current Year totaled $31.5 million as compared to $15.8 million for the Prior Year. During the impendency of the Company’s chapter 11 proceedings in the Prior Year, no cash interest payments were made on the Company’s debt other than debt outstanding under the prior Credit Agreement. Segment profit was $233.2 million and $192.1 million for the Current Year and Prior Year, respectively. During the Current Year, the Company received $7.3 million in net cash distributions from unconsolidated subsidiaries, as compared to net cash distributions of $3.9 million made to unconsolidated subsidiaries in the Prior Year.


      Investing Activities.Approximately $30.7 million and $29.8 million were utilized during the Current Year and Prior Year, respectively, for capital expenditures. The majority of capital expenditures related to management information systems and related equipment.

      During the Current Year, the Company received proceeds of $2.3 million from the sale of a hospital facility, net of transaction costs, related to the discontinued healthcare provider and franchising segments. Proceeds of $2.6 million from the sale of assets, net of transaction costs, were received during the Prior Year. In the Prior Year, proceeds of $2.4 million were received related to the discontinued healthcare provider and franchising segments, with $1.6 million from the sale of a hospital facility and $0.8 million as a final distribution associated with a discontinued provider joint venture.

      Approximately $3.7 million was utilized during the Prior Year for acquisitions and investments in businesses, and relates to earn-out payments with respect to the acquisition in 1998 of Inroads, a managed behavioral healthcare company.

      During the Current Year, the Company utilized net cash of $321.0 million for the purchase of “available-for-sale” investments. The Company’s investments consist of U.S. government agencies securities, corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit with the investments ranging in maturity at purchase date from three to twenty-seven months.

      Financing Activities.Upon the consummation of the Plan in January 2004, net proceeds of $147.9 million were received from the issuance of new equity, net of issuance costs of approximately $3.1 million; net proceeds of $92.8 million were received from the issuance of long-term debt, net of issuance costs of $7.4 million; and debt repayments of $192.4 million were made. In addition, in the Current Year, the Company repaid $15.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and paid $8.8 million on capital lease obligations.

      The debt paid upon consummation of the Plan of $192.4 million on the Effective Date was composed of payments of $160.8 million of amounts outstanding under the Old Credit Agreement, $16.6 million of principal on the Old Senior Notes and $15.0 million related to a debt obligation to Aetna.

      During the Prior Year, the Company made payments on capital lease obligations of $3.0 million and had other net financing sources of $0.1 million.

      62




      Predecessor Company fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 PIP resulted in the recognition of special charges of (a) $7.5 million to terminate 463 employees that represented both operational and corporate personnel, and (b) $2.4 million to downsize and close excess facilities, and other associated activities. The employee termination costs of $7.5 million, which are provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement, include severance and related termination benefits, including payroll taxes. All terminations are expected to be completed by June 30, 2004 and termination costs associated with such employees are expected to be paid in full by January 31, 2005. Termination liabilities attributable to ongoing benefit arrangements have been accrued when probable in accordance with SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The other special charges of $2.4 million represent costs to downsize and close seven leased facilities and other associated costs. Lease termination costs are accounted for under SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). In accordance with SFAS 146, the liability for lease termination costs is accrued at the time that all employees have vacated the leased property. These closure and exit costs include payments required under lease contracts (less any applicable existing and/or estimated sublease income) after the properties were abandoned, write-offs of leasehold improvements related to the facilities and other related expenses. At December 31, 2003, outstanding liabilities of approximately $4.8 million related to PIP are included in the consolidated balance sheet set forth elsewhere herein in "Accrued liabilities".

              Implementation of PIP resulted in additional incremental costs that were expensed as incurred. Special charges for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes $0.6 million for the cost of outside consultants. Also included in special charges for the year ended December 31, 2003 is income of $1.4 million, primarily related to the collection of a previously reserved note receivable. The note receivable was related to the sale of a subsidiary sold by the Company in fiscal 2001.

              The Company intends to continue implementing PIP initiatives throughout fiscal 2004. Management estimates that the Company will incur approximately $5 million to $10 million of costs related to PIP activities in fiscal 2004. The Company expects to fund these costs with internally generated funds. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully fund or implement these initiatives or realize the anticipated savings.

      Operating Activities.The Company'sCompany’s net cash provided by operating activities was $70.6 million and $178.3 million for the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current Year,Calendar 2003, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities from the Prior YearCalendar 2002 to the Current YearCalendar 2003 is primarily due to a reduction in cash interest payments. Cash interest payments in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 totaled $92.6 million, as compared to $15.8 million in the Current Year,Calendar 2003, a reduction of approximately $76.8 million. The decrease in interest payments is mainly due to the fact that the Company did not pay interest on the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes totaling $79.7 million during the period beginning on the date the Company filed for bankruptcy protection, March 11, 2003, through the end of the Current Year.Calendar 2003. Also contributing to the increase in operating cash flows from the Prior YearCalendar 2002 to the Current YearCalendar 2003 are higher cash flows attributable to increased segment profit year over year, lower net cash outflows with respect to discontinued operations and improvedother working capital.capital changes. The Company'sCompany’s segment profit for the Prior YearCalendar 2002 was $184.4 million, as compared to $192.1 million in the Current Year.Calendar 2003. Net cash outflows with respect to discontinued operations were $5.8 million and $0.1 million in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current Year,Calendar 2003, respectively.

      Investing Activities.    The Company utilizedApproximately $30.0 million and $29.8 million in fundswere utilized during the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current Year,Calendar 2003, respectively, for capital expenditures. The majority of the Company'sCompany’s capital expenditures relate to management information systems and related equipment. These expenditures have remained relatively constant year over year and are reduced from prior years as the result of the Company'sCompany’s focus on cost reduction through the ABI and PIP restructuring initiatives.


      The Company used cash of $63.7 million and $3.7 million in funds during the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current Year,Calendar 2003, respectively, for acquisitions and investments in businesses. Included in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 is a contingent purchase price payment of $60.0 million to Aetna related to the acquisition of HAI. Included in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current YearCalendar 2003 are the final two earn-out payments of $3.7 million each with respect to the acquisition in 1998 of Inroads, a managed behavioral healthcare company, by Merit Behavioral Care Corporation ("Merit") (which was later acquired by the Company).company.

      67



      Financing Activities.The Company borrowed approximately $105.0 million and $0.1 million during the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current Year,Calendar 2003, respectively. The borrowings in the Prior YearCalendar 2002 were primarily draws under the revolving credit facility for short-term capital needs.

              In the Prior Year, theThe Company made repayments of approximately $66.0 million and $3.0 million on debt and capital lease obligations during the Prior YearCalendar 2002 and Current year,Calendar 2003, respectively. The Prior YearCalendar 2002 repayments included scheduled term loan repayments, unscheduled term loan repayments with cash received from asset sales during the year, scheduled capital lease payments and revolving facility repayments primarily withutilizing cash generated from operations. The Current YearCalendar 2003 repayments include payments on capital lease obligations.

              Operating Activities.    The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $85.7 million and $66.7 million for fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flows from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002 is primarily due to the fact that fiscal 2001 benefited from approximately $30.0 million of settlements of contract appeals with respect to TRICARE in fiscal 2001 and $25.0 million in distributions from Choice related to its settlements of contract appeals in fiscal 2001 with respect to TRICARE, partially offset by the payment of approximately $44.0 million related to discontinued operations obligations during fiscal 2001. Operating cash flows for fiscal 2002 were negatively impacted by $5.4 million of cash outflows related to discontinued operations.

              Investing Activities.    The Company utilized $34.7 million and $27.6 million in funds during fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively, for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures decreased 20.5 percent, or $7.1 million, from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002. The majority of the Company's capital expenditures relate to management information systems and related equipment. These expenditures decreased from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002 primarily as the result of the Company's focus on cost reduction through the ABI restructuring initiative. Also contributing to this decrease were capital leases of $3.8 million entered into by the Company during fiscal 2002 that would have otherwise required a capital expenditure.

              The Company used $87.7 million and $63.7 million in funds during fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively, net of cash acquired, for acquisitions and investments in businesses. Included in each year is a contingent purchase price payment of $60.0 million to Aetna related to the acquisition of HAI and an earn-out payment of $3.7 million with respect to the acquisition in 1998 of Inroads, a managed behavioral healthcare company, by Merit Behavioral Care Corporation ("Merit") (which was later acquired by the Company). In fiscal 2001, the Company also paid the remaining contingent purchase price of $24.0 million to the shareholders of CMG Health, Inc. ("CMG"), a managed behavioral healthcare company acquired by Merit in September 1997.

              The Company received proceeds from the sale of assets, net of transaction costs and cash conveyed, of $110.6 million and $3.5 million in fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively. The sales proceeds were generated primarily from: (i) the sale in fiscal 2001 of Mentor, two of the three remaining Provider JVs of the discontinued healthcare provider segment, assets of the psychiatric practice management business and the Company's Canadian operations and (ii) the sale of the remaining Provider JV in fiscal 2002.

              Financing Activities.    The Company borrowed approximately $356.6 million and $105.0 million during fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively. The borrowings in fiscal 2002 were primarily draws under the revolving credit facility for short-term capital needs. The borrowings in fiscal 2001 represent draws under the revolving facility for short-term capital needs and the issuance of $250.0 million of Old Senior Notes, less issuance costs.

              The Company made repayments of approximately $458.2 million and $65.9 million on debt and capital lease obligations during fiscal 2001 and 2002, respectively. Fiscal 2001 repayments included

      68



      scheduled term loan repayments, scheduled capital lease payments, term loan and revolving facility repayments made with the proceeds from the sale of Mentor and term loan repayments made with proceeds from issuance of the Old Senior Notes and the sale of the Company's Canadian operations. Fiscal 2002 repayments included scheduled term loan repayments, term loan repayments with cash received from asset sales during the year, scheduled capital lease payments and revolving facility repayments primarily with cash generated from operations.

              In fiscal 2001, the Company issued $250.0 million of Old Senior Notes. The gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Old Senior Notes were used to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Company's term loans.

      Outlook—Liquidity and Capital Resources

              During fiscal 2004, the Company will have significant cash inflows and outflows related to the consummation of the Plan, as well as with the refinancing of the Old Credit Agreement. In particular, the Company will record in 2004: (i) the receipt of net cash from the Equity Offering and from the Onex Investment of approximately $146.9 million (total additional equity of $150.0 million less approximately $3.1 million of issuance costs); (ii) the receipt of net cash of approximately $92.6 million from term loans as part of the new senior secured credit agreement with Deutsche Bank (the "Credit Agreement") (total term loans of $100.0 million less approximately $7.4 million of loan acquisition costs); (iii) the payment of approximately $31.6 million for debt related to the Old Senior Notes and the Aetna Note; (iv) estimated payments of approximately $74.2 million for liabilities related to the chapter 11 proceedings, including professional fees and claim settlements; and (v) the payment of $160.8 million of debt outstanding under the OldThe Credit Agreement.

              In addition, during fiscal 2004, the Company expects to pay its current obligations as noted in the commitments table reflected below, and fund its capital expenditures with cash from operations. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be approximately $35 million to $40 million in fiscal 2004. The Company does not anticipate that it will need to draw on amounts available under the Revolving Loan Facility for its operations, capital needs or debt service in fiscal 2004.

              The following table sets forth the future financial commitments of the Company as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to the debt and other liabilities to be paid upon consummation of the plan (in thousands):

      (1)
      Pursuant to the Plan, and on the Effective Date, the Company refinanced its long-term debt. See Note 7—"Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for discussion of the new debt financing of the Company as of the Effective Date.

      (3)
      Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and closed offices. Such future lease amounts reflect the estimated impact of leases that have been rejected through December 31, 2003 as part of the Company's chapter 11 proceedings.

              Credit Agreement.    The Company's new senior secured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides for a Term Loan Facility in an original aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, a Revolving Loan Facility providing for loans of up to $50.0 million and a Credit-Linked Facility for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company in an original aggregate principal amount of $80.0 million. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $85.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. On the Effective Date, the Company incurred deferred financing fees of $7.4 million related to the Credit Agreement. Additionally, effective September 29, 2004, the Credit-Linked Facility was reduced from $80.0 million to $50.0 million. The Company accounted for the reduction of the Credit-Linked Facility in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-14 “Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements,”and accordingly, wrote off $0.8 million of fees associated with the Credit Agreement and will amortize the remaining unamortized fees relating to the Credit Agreement over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and certain quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are also required. As of the Effective Date, the Company had outstanding $100.0 million underrequired on the Term Loan Facility. The Company hadhas not drawn on the Revolving Loan Facility, resulting in unutilized commitments of $50.0 million. As of the Effective Date,December 31, 2004, the Company had issued letters of credit in the amount of $62.7$45.1 million, resulting in unutilized commitments under the Credit-Linked Facility of $17.3$4.9 million.

              Restrictive Covenants in Debt Agreements.    On the Effective Date, the Company entered into an indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes (the "Indenture"), in addition to the Credit Agreement, as discussed above. In general, the Credit Agreement and the Indenture contain a number of covenants that limit management's discretion in the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries by restricting or limiting the Company's ability to, among other things:

        incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock;

        pay dividends and make other distributions;

        repurchase equity interests;

        prepay or amend subordinated debt;

        make restricted payments;

        enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

        create liens;

        sell and otherwise dispose of assets;

        merge or consolidate; and

        enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

              These restrictions may adversely affect the Company's ability to finance its future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in its interest.

              The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests (as defined), including minimum consolidated EBITDA, interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. Failure to comply with such covenants, without waiver, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement and, in the event the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement were accelerated, would give rise to defaults under substantially all of the Company's other debt agreements. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

      On October 25, 2004 (“the First Amendment Effective Date”), the Credit Agreement was amended (the “Amendment”) to reduce the annual interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and on the Credit-Linked Facility, each by 1.25 percent. As a result of the Amendment, the annual interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility fluctuates at a rate equal to the sum of (i) a borrowing margin of 2.25 percent (subject to reduction of up to 0.50 percent based on the Company’s debt ratings), plus (ii) (A) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans, the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, or (B) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, an interest rate which is a function of the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans at its discretion. As of December 31, 2004, all loans under the dateTerm Loan Facility were Eurodollar denominated loans at a borrowing rate of filing4.74 percent. As a result of this Form 10-K,the Amendment, the commitment fee on the Credit-Linked Facility is equal to the sum of 2.25 percent (subject to reduction of up to 0.50 percent based on the Company’s debt ratings), plus an additional amount that is based on the administrative costs and term of the Credit-Linked Facility. As of December 31, 2004, the commitment fee on the Credit-Linked


      Facility was 2.37 percent. In addition, under the Amendment, certain mandatory prepayment requirements were eliminated, and several covenants that restricted or limited the Company’s ability to repurchase or refinance Senior Notes, make investments, and incur debt pertaining to letters of credit were amended. The Company paid and expensed $0.3 million in fees associated with the Amendment. See Note 7—“Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further discussion of the Credit Agreement.

      Liquidity.During fiscal 2005, the Company believesexpects to pay its current obligations as noted in the commitments table reflected below, and fund its capital expenditures with cash from operations. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be approximately $30 million to $40 million in fiscal 2005.

      (1)          Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, and on the subsequent First Amendment Effective Date, the Company refinanced its long-term debt. See Note 7—“Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for discussion of the new debt financing of the Company. Long-term debt amounts in the table above reflects future obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Senior Notes and the Aetna Note. See discussion of the Credit Agreement and amounts outstanding below.

      (2)          Interest payments have been estimated based upon current interest rates, and include commitment fees associated with certain borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

      (3)          Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and closed offices.

      (4)   Purchase commitments includes open purchase orders as of December 31, 2004 relating to ongoing capital expenditure and operational activities, as well as arrangements with outside consultants for ongoing services which will be performed throughout fiscal 2005.

      The Company also currently expects to have adequate liquidity to satisfy its debt covenants.existing financial commitments over the period in which they will become due.

      Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.   As of December 31, 2004, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements of a material significance.

      Restrictive Covenants in Debt Agreements.On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Company entered into the Credit Agreement and an indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”). As discussed above, the Credit Agreement was amended as of October 25, 2004. The Indenture and the Credit Agreement each contain covenants. These covenants limit management’s discretion in operating the Company’s business by restricting or limiting the Company’s ability, among other things, to:

      ·       incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock;

      ·       pay dividends and make other distributions;


      ·       repurchase equity interests;

      ·       prepay or amend subordinated debt;

      ·       make certain other payments called “restricted payments”;

      ·       enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

      ·       create liens;

      ·       sell and otherwise dispose of assets;

      ·       acquire or merge or consolidate with another company; and

      ·       enter into some types of transactions with affiliates.

      These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the Company’s interest.

      The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Failure to do so, unless waived by the lenders under the Credit Agreement pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement and, if indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is accelerated, would give rise to defaults under most or all of the Company’s other debt agreements. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by most of the Company’s subsidiaries and is secured by most of the Company’s assets and the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets.

      Net Operating Loss Carryforwards.The Company estimates that, as of December 2004, it had approximately $525 million of reportable NOLs.   �� During fiscal 2000,These estimated NOLs expire in 2009 through 2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. In accordance with SOP 90-7, subsequent (post-bankruptcy) utilization by the Company reached an agreement (the "IRS Agreement") withof NOLs which existed at January 5, 2004 will be accounted for as reductions to goodwill or additional paid-in capital and therefore, will only benefit cash flows due to reduced tax payments and will not benefit the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") related to its federal incomeCompany’s tax returns for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1992 and 1993. The IRS had originally proposed to disallow approximately $162.0 million of deductions related primarily to interest expense in fiscal 1992. Under the IRS Agreement, the Company paid approximately $1.0 million in taxes and interest to the IRS in

      70



      the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to resolve the assessment specifically relating to taxes due for these open years, although no concession was made by either party as to the Company's ability to utilize these deductions through net operating loss carryforwards. While any IRS assessment related to these deductions is not expected to result in a material cash paymentprovision for income taxes related to prior years, the Company's federal net operating loss carryforwards could be reduced if the IRS later successfully challenges these deductions. taxes.

      The Company'sCompany’s history of recent operating losses (prior(prior to reorganization benefits) and financial restructuring activities continueand its lack of substantial history of profitable operations subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy create uncertainty as to the Company'sCompany’s ability to realize its NOL carryforwardsNOLs and other deferred tax assets. In addition,Accordingly, the Company'sCompany had a total valuation allowance covering all of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2003 and substantially all of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, net deferred tax assets, after reduction for valuation allowance, represent the Company’s estimate of those net tax assets which are more likely than not to be realizable.

      The Company’s utilization of NOL carryforwards will beNOLs became subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 upon emergence from bankruptcy, which may affectaffects the timing of the use of orNOLs. At this time, the ultimate realization of, NOL carryforwards. Accordingly,Company does not believe these limitations will materially limit the Company’s ability to use any NOLs before they expire. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2003, and 2002, the Company maintainshad tax contingencies which created an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to realize its NOLs. In addition to recording a totalfull valuation allowance coveringagainst all NOLs, the Company recorded this contingent liability of $23.2 million for taxes payable. During fiscal 2004, the Company received favorable guidance from the Internal Revenue Service which resolved this contingency, resulting in the reversal of the Company's net deferred tax assets. See Note 10—"Income Taxes"related liability and a reduction to the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.goodwill (in accordance with SOP 90-7).

      Discontinued Operations.APB 30 requires that the results of continuing operations be reported separately from those of discontinued operations for all periods presented and that any gain or loss from disposal of a segment of a business be reported in conjunction with the related results of discontinued operations. The operating results of the discontinued segments have been disclosed, net of income tax, in a


      separate income statement caption "Discontinued“Discontinued operations—Income (loss) from discontinued operations".operations.” The losses the Company incurred to exit the discontinued operations are reflected, net of income tax, in the caption "Discontinued“Discontinued operations—Loss on disposal of discontinued operations".operations.” The assets, liabilities and cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated from continuing operations.

      As of December 31, 2003,2004, the Company has disposed of its human services segment in its entirety, and has taken the majority of the actions necessary to complete the disposal of, or shutting down of, its healthcare provider and franchising segments, and its specialty managed healthcare segment, and its human services segment but still has certain estimated liabilities totalling approximately $3.6 million for various obligations as follows:obligations.

        Healthcare Provider and Healthcare Franchising: As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $19.2 million accrued on its consolidated balance sheet for obligations related to the discontinued healthcare provider and franchising segments. Of this balance, approximately $11.5 million pertains to pre-petition liabilities to be settled in relation to the Company's chapter 11 proceedings. The remaining liabilities consist of estimated amounts accrued for certain regulatory liabilities, pending litigation, lease obligations, estimated claims related to the provider joint ventures, long-term debt related to hospital based real estate and various other estimated obligations. The Company plans to satisfy these liabilities with cash flows generated from operations.

        Specialty Managed Healthcare: As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $0.3 million accrued on its consolidated balance sheet for obligations related to the discontinued specialty managed healthcare segment. Of this balance, approximately $0.2 million relates to liabilities associated with the rejection of leases in conjunction with the chapter 11 proceedings. The remaining liabilities consist of miscellaneous accruals. The Company plans to satisfy these liabilities primarily with cash flows generated from its operations.

      As part of its financial restructuring plan and chapter 11 proceedings, the Company rejected certain leases for closed offices. As leases for closed offices were rejected, the net liability arising from such rejections was compared to the net liability already recorded by the Company, and the difference was recorded as a component of "Reorganization expense"“Reorganization expense” in the Company'sCompany’s statement of operations, in accordance with SOP 90-7.

      The remaining assets and liabilities of these discontinued segments are described more fully in Note 5—"Discontinued Operations"Operations” to the Company's auditedCompany’s consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. There can be no assurance that the reserves established will prove to be

      71



      adequate. In the event that any future losses or expenses exceed the amount of reserves on the balance sheet, the Company will be required to record additional losses on disposal of discontinued operations or losses from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.

      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51 ("51” (“FIN 46"46”). FIN 46 requires consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity'sentity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity'sentity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Currently,Historically, entities arewere generally consolidated by an enterprise when it hashad a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity. The Reorganized Company early adopted the provisions of FIN 46 effective December 31, 2003. Early adoption of new accounting pronouncements is required by companies implementing the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7. Based on the guidance of FIN 46, the Reorganized Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Premier Behavioral Systems of Tennessee, LLC (“Premier”), a variable interest entity for which the Reorganized Company maintains a 50 percent voting interest. ConcurrentConsistent with the provisions of FIN 46, the Reorganized Company has consolidated the balance sheet of Premier into the Reorganized Company'sCompany’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2003.2003 and 2004. Through December 31, 2003, the Predecessor Company accounted for Premier under the equity method, whereby the Predecessor Company included its portion of Premier'sPremier’s earnings or loss in its consolidated statement of operations under the caption "Equity“Equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries".subsidiaries.” The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the primary beneficiary of Premier. The consolidation of Premier at December 31, 2003 increased total assets and total liabilities each by $43.2 million. The fair value of the accounts consolidated was equivalent to their book value at December 31, 2003. In 2004, the Reorganized Company will consolidateconsolidated the results of operations of Premier in its consolidated statement of operations. See further discussionoperations, which represented $253.0 million of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      The Company currently measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and discloses pro forma stock-based compensation under the requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for


      Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required July 1, 2005 adoption of Statement 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Since SFAS 123R must be applied not only to new awards but also to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because the Company adopted SFAS 123, using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized under SFAS 123R. However, had SFAS 123R been adopted in prior periods, the impact of FIN 46, including disclosures required by FIN 46, in Note 3—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" tothat standard would have approximated the audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

              In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" ("EITF No. 94-3"). SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The January 1, 2003 implementationimpact of SFAS 146 has not had123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share below entitled “Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax credits in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a material impact uponfinancing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as permitted under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company's financial position or resultsCompany cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operations.operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were immaterial.

      On May 22, 2002, the Company'sCompany’s Audit Committee approved the dismissal of its independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP ("(“Arthur Andersen"Andersen”), and engaged Ernst & Young LLP to serve as its new independent auditors for fiscal year 2002. The Company filed a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC on May 24, 2002, the same date that the change in auditors became effective.

              Arthur Andersen's report on the Predecessor Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, as included elsewhere herein, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

      During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 and the interim period between September 30, 2001 and May 24, 2002, there were no disagreements between the Company and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen'sAndersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report for such year; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

        MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
        PART III

                OnThe Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Effective Date, MagellanSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Under the supervision and 88with the participation of its subsidiaries consummatedmanagement, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Plan under chapter 11Company assessed the effectiveness of title 11internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Bankruptcy Code,Treadway Commission (“COSO”), an Internal Control-Integrated Framework. The Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, LLP, has issued an audit report on our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which had been confirmedfollows.


        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        Board of Directors
        Magellan Health Services, Inc.

        We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Magellan Health Services, Inc. (Magellan) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by orderthe Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Bankruptcy Court on October 8, 2003,Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Magellan’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and accordingly the Plan became fully effective and the companies emerged from the protection of their chapter 11 proceedings. Magellan and these subsidiaries had filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court on March 11, 2003.


        Item 10. Directors and Executive Officersits assessment of the Registrant

        Directors

                Under the Company's certificateeffectiveness of incorporation, as amendedinternal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and restatedan opinion on the Effective Date, the number of directors is currently fixed at nine. The directorseffectiveness of the Company were appointedcompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the Planstandards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the Confirmation Orderpreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, management’s assessment that Magellan maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the Effective Date (except for Mr. McBrideCOSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Magellan maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as noted below), and are divided into three classes: (i) Class 1, consisting of four directors, (ii) Class 2, consisting of two directors, and (iii) Class 3, consisting of three directors.December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.

        Code of Ethics

                In March 2004, the Company adopted a code of ethics that applies to its chief executive officer, chief financial officer and controller. The Company has posted the text of such code of ethics on its website athttp://www.magellanhealth.com. The Company intends to post on its website any amendments to, or waivers from, its Code of Ethics applicable to its senior officers.

        Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

                Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's directors, certain officers and persons who own more than 10.0 percent of the common stock of the Company to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and furnish copies of such reports to the Company. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company during fiscal 2003, or written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all persons who are required to comply with the Section 16(a) filing requirements during fiscal 2003 with respect to the Company's common stock have complied with such filing requirements on a timely basis, other than as described below. Magellan's reorganization proceeding occasioned uncertainties concerning the status of certain executives as officers required to make such reports, resulting in their making Section 16(a) filings late when such uncertainties were resolved in connection with the consummation of the Plan, as follows:

          Jeff Emerson filed a Form 3 approximately 306within 120 days late; and

          Anthony Kotin filed a Form 3 approximately 66 days late.

                 In addition, commencing with the Effective Date and until the date of this report, certain Section 16(a) reports have been filed late. These reports were required with respect to the consummation of the Plan and related stock ownership transactions and clarification of the impact of the filing requirements on these transactions and the need to obtain EDGAR filings codes by persons not previously required to have such codes in order to file such reports resulted in the following late filings:

          Dr. Rene Lerer filed a Form 4 one day late;

          Mark Demilio, Megan Arthur and Jeff West filed Form 4s three days late;

          William McBride filed a Form 3 four days late;

          Anthony Kotin filed a Form 4 six days late;

          Jeff Emerson filed a Form 4 seven days late; and

          Robert Haft filed a Form 4 twenty-one days late.

          (b)
          An annual payment equaling $15,000.00, payable on a quarterly basis, to each member of the Audit Committee;

        81

                  In addition, on January 5, 2004 the Board approved, as further compensation for the services of those directors commencing service on the Board in 2004 (as of January 21, 2004) who are not members of management and not associated with Onex, a grant of 2,152 shares of Ordinary Common Stock plus the number of additional shares of Ordinary Common Stock equivalent to $13,333 divided by 85 percent of the average closing price of the shares in Nasdaq trading for the 20 consecutive trading days following the Effective Date, which was 567 shares, for a total grant of 2,719 shares. Such shares may not be sold by a director until January 5, 2006 or the earlier termination of a director's service and in compliance with certain regulatory requirements.

          Benefit Plans

                  Annual Incentive Plan.    In fiscal year 2003, the executive officers were eligible for participation in the Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP"), which was designed to award officers (and other employees) for meeting or exceeding specific financial targets approved by the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2003. The Target Bonus Award levels for the executive officers range from 50.0 percent to 60.0 percent of base salary, and based on performance in relation to goals, the amount of bonus can range from 0 percent to 200 percent of target percentage. Incentive Awards are funded based on meeting or exceeding threshold goals and are awarded based on corporate and individual performance. Based on the financial results attained for fiscal year 2003, the STIP was funded at 120 percent and bonuses were paid in the first quarter of 2004.

                  2003 Management Incentive Plan.    This plan replaces the Company's former 1994, 1996, 1997 and 1998 Stock Option Plans and the 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, all of which were terminated as of the Effective Date. The 2003 Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP"), which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, allows approval of several types of long-term incentives including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and stock units. A total of 6,373,689 shares of Ordinary Common Stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the MIP over a period not to exceed ten years after the Effective Date. Pursuant to the MIP and their employment

          84


          agreements, as of the Effective Date, options to purchase 2,891,022 shares of Ordinary Common Stock and restricted stock awards for 167,926 shares of Ordinary Common Stock were issued to the three senior executive officers of the Company (Mr. Shulman, Dr. Lerer and Mr. Demilio). Stock options covering 1,376,400 additional shares were issued to other members of management of the Company in connection with the consummation of the Plan, leaving 2,106,267 options issuable under the MIP. The options to executive officers were granted with exercise prices ranging from the reorganization value under the Plan, as set forth in the Plan's disclosure statement ($10.43 per share), to the average price paid by Onex for all of the shares it acquired in connection with the Plan ($11.91 per share). The options granted to other members of management have exercise prices ranging from the price paid in the Onex Investment ($12.39 per share) to the price that is 85 percent of the average closing price of the common stock over the first 20 trading days ($23.52 per share).

                  The maximum number of shares of Ordinary Common Stock that may be granted or measured to any individual participant under the MIP in any one calendar year may not exceed 2,000,000. The MIP allows the Compensation Committee flexibility in developing appropriate long-term incentive strategies to retain the Company's key executive officers. The Compensation Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the MIP, to make and administer grants under the MIP, and to establish such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the MIP.

                  Executive Benefits Plan.    The Magellan Health Services, Inc. Supplemental Accumulation Plan (the "SAP"), was approved by the Compensation Committee for plan year 2000. The SAP, a calendar year based plan, is funded through a fixed component that has been structured to provide an incentive for executive officers to remain with the Company. It may also be funded by the executive officers through voluntary deferrals of base and/or incentive compensation. Annually, the Compensation Committee approves the fixed percentage contribution for the Executive Officers. For calendar 2003, the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers were each eligible for a Company contribution of 11 percent of base salary. Both Company and voluntary contributions are paid to a trust and invested in one or more mutual funds selected by the respective executive officer.

                  The fixed percentage amount contributed to the trust and any appreciation thereon is paid to the executive officer on a date at least two years from the date of funding, if such officer is still employed at that time, or two years following the date of termination from the Company, provided that the executive officer has complied with covenants not to compete with the Company during that time period and the termination was not "for cause".

                  The terms of the SAP provide that the amounts deposited in the trust on behalf of executive officers are to be immediately and fully vested upon a change of control of the Company (as defined in the SAP document).

                  Key Employee Retention Plan.    Subsequent to the Commencement Date, the Board of Directors adopted and the Bankruptcy Court approved the Key Employee Retention Plan ("KERP"). The purpose of KERP is to provide supplemental compensation to certain employees, including certain executive members of management, in order to retain such employees through the Company's financial restructuring process. KERP does not include individuals retained by the Company pursuant to the consulting agreement with HPI. KERP supplemental compensation awards range up to 50.0 percent of base salary and were paid 33 percent on July 31, 2003, and the remainder on February 19, 2004, 45 days after consummation of the plan of reorganization.

          Certain Compensation Expenses

                  Based on the terms established for certain of the stock and option compensation arrangements provided for members of management under the Plan and implemented on the Effective Date and shortly thereafter, as described above, the related compensation expense will be charged against the Company's income periodically over subsequent periods as described in Note 8—"Stockholders Equity—Stock Option Plans" to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

          85


          Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

                  During fiscal 2003, the Compensation Committee was comprised of former Board members, Gerald L. McManis and James B. Williams, each a non-employee director. Mr. Williams was affiliated with the Texas Pacific Group, which previously engaged in certain transactions with the Company. Neither Mr. McManis nor Mr. Williams engaged in related party transactions with the Company.

                  The new Compensation Committee, effective as of the Effective Date and as of the date hereof, consists of Messrs. Burian, Diament and Haft, each a non-employee director. Mr. Burian and Mr. Haft are affiliated with entities that have engaged in certain transactions with the Company or the Company's affiliates. Mr. Diament has not engaged in related party transactions with the Company or its affiliates.

                  None of the Company's executive officers serves as a member of a board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serves on the Company's Board or on the Compensation Committee.

          The information regarding the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by such individual or entity is included herein in reliance on its report filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), except that the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned is based upon the Company's calculations made in reliance upon the number of shares of Common Stock reported to be beneficially owned by such person or entity in such report and 26,900,268 shares of Ordinary Common Stock and 8,469,846 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 4, 2004.

          (2)
          Based upon information set forth in a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 16, 2004. Shares of Ordinary Common Stock are issuable upon conversion of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. Onex is the general partner of Onex Partners GP, Inc. ("Partners GP"), which is the general partner of Onex Partners GP LP ("Partners GP LP"), which is the general partner of Onex Partners LP ("Partners"), which is the general partner of Holdings. All of the shares beneficially owned by Holdings may be deemed beneficially owned by each of Partners, Partners GP LP, Partners GP and Onex. Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz is the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onex. Mr. Schwartz, as with the entities above (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), may be deemed a beneficial owner of the shares of the Ordinary Common Stock beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons, but disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. These converted shares were added to the amount of currently issued and outstanding Ordinary Common Stock noted above in (1) in order to determine the percent of class beneficially owned by Holdings. Holdings shares voting and dispositive power of all shares with the other Reporting Persons.

          Based upon information set forth in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on January 8, 2004. Amalgamated Gadget LP has sole voting and dispositive power of all shares.

          (4)
          Based upon information set forth in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on January 12, 2004. Amount includes 181,003 shares owned directly by Tudor Proprietary Trading, LLC ("TPT"), 10,582 shares owned by The Altar Rock Fund LP ("Altar Rock"), 1,932,805 shares owned by The Raptor Global Portfolio, Ltd. ("Raptor Portfolio") and 332,893 shares owned by The Tudor BVI Global Portfolio, Ltd. ("BVI Portfolio"). Tudor Investment Corporation ("TIC") is the sole general partner of Altar Rock and provides investment advisory services to Raptor Portfolio and BVI Portfolio. As such, TIC may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Ordinary Common Stock owned by each of Altar Rock, Raptor Portfolio and BVI Portfolio. TIC expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership. In addition, because Paul Tudor Jones is the controlling shareholder of TIC and the indirect controlling shareholder of TPT, Mr. Jones may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Ordinary Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by TIC and TPT. Mr. Jones expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership.

          (5)
          Based upon information set forth in a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 13, 2004. Third Point Management Company LLC shares voting and dispositive power of all shares with Daniel S. Loeb, the managing member of the management company.

                  In accordance with a registration rights agreement dated as of January 5, 2004 that was entered into in connection with the consummation of the Plan (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), Holdings (and a permitted transferee) is entitled to have Magellan, subject to certain terms and conditions, register under the Securities Act for public sale the shares of Ordinary Common Stock it may acquire upon conversion of the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock it owns. Such shares, when registered, may be sold in an underwritten public offering or from time to time in the NASDAQ trading market or by other means, as Holdings may elect, and as is provided in the applicable registration statement. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, Magellan currently expects to register shares of Ordinary Common Stock for sale in the NASDAQ trading market by Holdings commencing in the Spring of 2004, permitting such sales, on the conditions permitted by the agreement, at such time, if ever, and in such amount, if any, as Holdings may choose from time to time. Based solely upon the information contained in Holding's Schedule 13D report dated January 15, 2004 referred to above, the Company has no reason to believe that Holdings (or any permitted transferee thereof) presently intends to so sell publicly any shares of Ordinary Common Stock pursuant to such contemplated registration statement (or otherwise), but Magellan has no control over the timing or amount of any shares that Holdings (or a permitted transferee thereof) may decide to sell.

Shulman and René Lerer, M.D. (the "HPI Agreement"). Pursuant to the HPI Agreement, HPI, Mr. Shulman and Dr. Lerer, as well as Danna Mezin and Keith Kudla (the "Officers"), became part of the management of the Company, with Mr. Shulman becoming the chief executive officer of the Company. All of the Officers have devoted substantially all of their time to the management of the Company. For such services, the Company has paid to HPI, per the agreement, $250,000 per month for every month or portion thereof from December 2002 through the Effective Date and a bonus payment of $1.95 million based upon the achievement of certain targets under the agreement. This agreement terminated on the Effective Date, at which time Mr. Shulman and Dr. Lerer entered into employment agreements with the Company, as discussed above and Ms. Mezin and Mr. Kudla became employees of the Company.

                  Robert M. LeBlanc and Mark L. Hilson are affiliated with Onex. Pursuant to the Plan, Magellan Holdings LP, an affiliate of Onex, purchased 8,552,700 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock of the Company. In January 2004, Onex sold 82,854 of these shares to Morgan Noble LLC.

The Company estimates that the total compensation to be paid to Houlihan for services rendered to the Committees as financial advisor will be approximately $2.9 million in cash, 166,966 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, and $1.8 million of Series B Notes, subject to finalization when the recoveries under the Plan by general unsecured creditors are finalized. In addition, Mr. Burian, as a Director of Houlihan, received an economic interest in 4,000 shares Houlihan received pursuant to the Plan. Mr. Burian did not have record ownership, nor did he possess either investment or dispositive power over the shares; however, Mr. Burian did, as a Director of Houlihan, possess the economic risk and benefit of the ownership of these shares. Such shares were sold by Houlihan shortly following the consummation of the Plan.

                  Robert Haft, a Director of the Company, is the Principal Manager of Morgan Noble LLC, which purchased 82,854 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock from Magellan Holdings LP in January 2004 at $12.07 per share.

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORSREGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON
            FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            Board of Directors

            Magellan Health Services, Inc.

            We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsheets of Reorganized Magellan Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Reorganized Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Predecessor Magellan Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries ("(“Predecessor Company") as of December 31, 2002, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Reorganized Magellan Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Reorganized Company") as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of Predecessor Company for the year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan"Company”) for the year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2003 and the consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Reorganized Company for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Magellan Health Services, Inc. (“Magellan”) for the year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 listed in the Index at Item 15(a).2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of Magellan'sMagellan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements and schedule of Predecessor Company for the year ended September 30, 2001 were audited by other auditors, who have ceased operations, and whose report dated December 6, 2001 (except with respect to the matters discussed in Note 14, as to which the date was December 27, 2001) expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements before the restatement adjustments described in Note 3 and Note 16.

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

            In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Predecessor Company at December 31, 2002, the consolidated financial position of Reorganized Company at December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the consolidated results of the Predecessor Company'sCompany’s operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2003 and the consolidated results of the Reorganized Company’s operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the United States.accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for the year ended September 30, 2002, the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the yearyears ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

            We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Reorganized Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 23, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

            As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, effective October 1, 2001, the Predecessor Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (" (“SFAS No. 142"142”), which resulted in the Predecessor Company changing the method in which it accounts for goodwill.

            As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 29, 2003, Magellan received final clearance of significant contingencies related to the implementation of its plan of reorganization, which had been confirmed on October 8, 2003 by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Magellan officially emerged from bankruptcy as of January 5, 2004. In connection with its reorganization, Magellan applied fresh start reporting as of December 31, 2003.

            reporting. As a result, the December 31, 2003 balance sheet of Reorganized Company is presented on a basis different from that of Predecessor Company and, therefore, is not comparable to prior periods.

            As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in connection with the application of fresh start reporting as of December 31, 2003, the Reorganized Company early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, which requires consolidation of certain variable interest entities.

            February 23, 2005

             As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of Predecessor Company as of September 30, 2001, and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described in Note 3, these financial statements have been revised to include the transitional disclosures required by SFAS No. 142, which was adopted by Predecessor Company as of October 1, 2001. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 3 with respect to 2001 included (a) agreeing the previously reported net income to the previously issued financial statements and the adjustments to reported net income representing amortization expense (including any related tax effects) recognized in those periods related to goodwill that is no longer being amortized to Predecessor Company's underlying records obtained from management, and (b) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of adjusted net income to reported net income, and the related earnings-per-share amounts. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 in Note 3 are appropriate. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements of Predecessor Company other than with respect to such disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

                    As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of Predecessor Company as of September 30, 2001, and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described in Note 16, Predecessor Company changed the composition of its reportable segments in 2003, and the amounts in the 2001 consolidated financial statements relating to reportable segments have been restated to conform to the 2003 composition of reportable segments. We audited the adjustments that were applied to restate the disclosures for reportable segments reflected in the 2001 consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included (F-a) agreeing the adjusted amounts of segment revenues, segment profit and assets to Predecessor Company's underlying records obtained from management, and (b) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliations of segment amounts to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements of Predecessor Company other than with respect to such adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.3

                    The following report is a copy of a report previously issued by Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen"), which report has not been reissued by Andersen. Certain financial information for the year ended September 30, 2001 was not reviewed by Andersen and includes: (i) reclassifications to conform to the Company's September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 financial statement presentation and (ii) additional disclosures to conform with new accounting pronouncements and SEC rules and regulations issued during such fiscal periods. The Andersen report reflected below is dual dated with a reference to Note 14 from the fiscal 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Item 1—"Business—Cautionary Statements" for discussion of risks.


            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

            To the Board of Directors of Magellan Health Services, Inc.:

                    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Health Services, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2001. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

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

                    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Magellan Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                    Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule II is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

            Emergence Fromfrom Chapter 11

            On January 5, 2004 (the "Effective Date"“Effective Date”), Magellan and 88 of its subsidiaries consummated their Third Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization, as modified and confirmed (the "Plan"“Plan”), under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"“Bankruptcy Code”), which had been confirmed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"“Bankruptcy Court”) on October 8, 2003, and accordingly the Plan became fully effective and the companies emerged from the protection of their chapter 11 proceedings. The cash and other distributions to which the Company’s former creditors and stockholders became entitled under the Plan were made on the Effective Date or shortly thereafter, except that distributions in respect of certain disputed claims were reserved as of the Effective Date, to be made upon resolution of the disputed claims.  As discussed below, all but an immaterial portion of such disputed claims were resolved and the required distributions were completed during 2004. Magellan and these subsidiaries had filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court on March 11, 2003.

            The following is a summary of the transactions which became effective on the Effective Date pursuant to or in connection with the consummation of the Plan. The distributions to which the Company'sCompany’s former creditors and shareholders became entitled under the Plan were made by the Company on the Effective Date or were disbursed in accordance with the Plan soon thereafter, except for certain immaterial distributions that were subsequently made or will be made in the future as provided for by the Plan upon certain conditions being satisfied. This summary only highlights certain of the substantive provisions of the Plan and the documents implementing the Plan.Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the full text of the Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2(a) to Magellan’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2003, as first supplemented by the modification filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Magellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2003 and further supplemented by the modification filed as Exhibit 2.3 to Magellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2003 and as to be implemented pursuant to the confirmation order, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.4 to Magellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2003, and (ii) the implementing documents, which are referred to below in this summary, filed as Exhibits 2.2 - 2.15 to Magellan’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 6, 2004, and as amended in certain instances by Magellan’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 7, 2004.

            Giving effect to the Plan, Magellan and its subsidiaries continued, in their previous organizational form, to conduct their business as previously conducted, with the same assets in all material respects (except for cash to be distributed under the Plan to former creditors of the Company), but the Company was recapitalized. Specifically, the Company'sCompany’s secured bank loans, as existing before the Effective Date, were paid in full, and other then existingthen-existing indebtedness (i.e., two classes of notes and general unsecured creditor claims) and the then existingthen-existing equity interests in Magellan were cancelled as of the Effective Date in exchange for the distributions provided for by the Plan, as further described below, all as of the Effective Date.

            On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank, as lender and administrative agent, and other lenders providing for a $100.0 million term loan, an $80.0 million letter of credit facility and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (collectively,facility. The interest rate on term loan and revolving credit borrowings fluctuates, and originally was at a rate that was equal to the "Credit Agreement")higher of (i) the prime rate established by Deutsche Bank or (ii) one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, as from time to time in effect, plus in either case two and one-half percent per year, subject to the Company’s election to have interest calculated based on the “Eurodollar rate” offered by Deutsche Bank plus three and one-half percent per year (see discussion of credit agreement amendment below). The interest rate on letter of credit-related borrowings was fixed at 3.5 percent. However, in each case the interest rate could be reduced upon achievement of certain conditions. Borrowings under the credit

            F-9




            agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and certain quarterly principal payments on the term loan are also required. Magellan’s obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of Magellan and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Magellan and the subsidiary guarantors. On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, the proceeds of the term loan, together with other existing funds, were used on the Effective Date to repay in full the Company'sCompany’s senior secured bank indebtedness under its previous credit agreement (the "Old“Old Credit Agreement"Agreement”) of approximately $161 million, to make other cash payments contemplated by the Plan, to pay fees and expenses related to the chapter 11 cases, and for general working capital purposes. In addition, the letter of credit facility has been utilized to back letters of credit outstanding on the Effective Date and to provide additional letters of credit when needed for the Company'sCompany’s business. In September 2004, the Company reduced the letter of credit facility from $80.0 million to $50.0 million. Also, in October 2004 the credit agreement was amended to reduce the annual interest rate on borrowings under the term loan facility and the letter of credit facility, each by 1.25 percent. This credit agreement as initially entered into and as amended is referred to hereafter as the “Credit Agreement.”  For a further discussion of the Credit Agreement, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations".Obligations.”

            As of the Effective Date, in satisfaction of the $250$250.0 million of principal owed on the 9.375% senior notes due 2007 (the "Old“Old Senior Notes"Notes”) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Company issued to the holders of such notes approximately $233.5 million in original principal amount of Series A notes of a new issue of senior notes due November 15, 2008 (the "Series“Series A Notes",Notes,” together with the Series B Notes (see below), the "Senior Notes"“Senior Notes”) and made a cash payment of

            F-10



            approximately $46.1 million. The terms of the Senior Notes are substantially similar to those of the Old Senior Notes, except that they mature on November 15, 2008. For a further discussion of the Senior Notes, see Note 7—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations".Obligations.”

            Under the Plan, holders of the Company's previousCompany’s previously outstanding 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 in the principal amount of $625.0 million (the "Old“Old Subordinated Notes"Notes”) and holders of general unsecured creditor claims, (otherother than claims on the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes) ("Notes (“Other GUCs"GUCs”), were to receive in the aggregate approximately 97 percent of the Ordinary Common Stock par value $0.01 per share (“Ordinary Common Stock”) (or approximately 22.3 million shares) of the reorganized Company (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). The actual number of shares allocated between these two classes of creditors, as well as the number of shares allocated to each individual creditor in such creditor classes, is dependentwas made, in accordance with the Plan, based upon the final,estimated, total aggregate claims value of claims for the two creditor classes, as discussed further below.

            As of the Effective Date, the Company estimated that the holders of the Old Subordinated Notes would receive in satisfaction of their claims (including all accrued and unpaid interest), approximately 20.5 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock of Magellan (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). Accordingly, the Company distributed, as of the Effective Date, approximately 32.83 shares per $1,000 of principal amount of such notes (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof were issued or paid). The share distribution amount has been adjusted during 2004 and is subject to adjustmentfurther adjustments as set forth below.

                    As ofIn accordance with the Effective Date, the Company estimated that total claims ofPlan, Other GUCs would be approximately $78 million (including unresolved disputed claims). Under the Plan, and based upon this total estimated claim value, such creditor class was estimated to receivereceived in satisfaction of their claims (including any unpaid interest accrued thereon) the following consideration for each $1,000 of claim value: (i)  $50.34 in cash, (ii) $254.99 of Series B of the Senior Notes ("(“Series B Notes"Notes”), and (iii) 22.41 shares of Ordinary Common Stock (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereof were or will be issued or paid), for an aggregate of 1.8 million shares (before giving effect to the Cash-Out Elections discussed below). AsReflected on the Company’s balance sheet as of March 4,December 31, 2003 and 2004 the Company has issuedwere approximately $5.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of Series B Notes for the settled claims of Other GUCs. Also, the Company issued $1.8 million of Series B Notes as partial consideration for services performed by one of the financial advisers involved with the reorganization efforts.

The Ordinary Common Stock share distribution amount has been adjusted during 2004 and is subject to further adjustment as set forth below.

                    The Company currently estimates thatAs of February 22, 2005, the total claim valueamount of outstanding, disputed claims for Other GUCs is $6.3 million (“Disputed Claims”). The Company does not believe that it is probable that liability for the Disputed Claims will ultimately be resolved for approximately $55.0 million, of which $50.5 millionincurred, and thus no liability has been settledrecorded for the Disputed Claims as of March 4,December 31, 2004. IfNonetheless, the claims of Other GUCs are ultimately resolved for the Company's current estimate of $55.0 million, the Other GUCs would receive additional consideration of approximately 0.53Company has reserved, but treated as outstanding, 144,437 shares of Ordinary Common Stock per $1,000 of claim value (although no fractional shares or cash in lieu thereofwhich will be issued or paid) anddistributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan to holders of claims on the Old Subordinated Notes would receive an additional 0.77 sharesor Other GUCs (including holders of Ordinary Common Stock per $1,000Disputed Claims to the extent their claims are allowed) upon the final resolution of principalthe Disputed Claims, subject, however, to adjustment on account of Cash-Out Elections as described below.  If the Disputed Claims were to be resolved for their full amount of such notes (although no fractional shares or$6.3 million, then the Company would also be required to issue to the individual claimants that filed the Disputed Claims additional consideration of $0.3 million in cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid).and Series B Notes of $1.6 million.

            Also on the Effective Date, the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of Magellan were cancelled, three new classes of capital stock were authorized and Magellan'sMagellan’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated. Specifically, 100 million shares of Ordinary Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Ordinary Common Stock"), and 40 million shares of Multiple and Variable Vote Restricted Convertible Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("(“Multi-Vote Common Stock"Stock”) were authorized, as were 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), that are issuable at the discretion of the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law in one or more series with such powers, privileges and rights as may be determined by the Board (except that no non-voting shares shall be issued). No shares of Preferred Stock were issued or are to be issued under the Plan. Shares of the Multi-Vote Common Stock may only be issued to, and held by, Onex Corporation, a Canadian corporation, or an affiliate thereof (collectively, "Onex"“Onex”). As described below, Onex, in connection with the Plan, invested in the equity of Magellan in the form of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. Upon transfer of any shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock to any party other than Onex, the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will automatically convert on a share-for-share basis into shares of Ordinary Common Stock. In addition, any shares of Ordinary Common Stock that Onex may come to own at any time when the Multi-Vote Common Stock is outstanding will automatically convert into shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock.

            In general, the Multi-Vote Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock have the same powers, privileges and rights, and each share represents an equivalent interest in Magellan'sMagellan’s equity, except that the shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will have the number of votes per share from time to time sufficient so that all the outstanding shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock will have an equal number of votes as all the outstanding shares of Ordinary Common Stock (i.e., the Multi-Vote Common Stock will be entitled to exercise 50 percent of the voting power of all the classes of common stock of Magellan). The Multi-Vote Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock also differ in that each class has different voting rights in the election of directors and certain other voting rights and other special rights and privileges. The Multi-Vote Common Stock will cease to have any special voting rights or any other special rights or powers in the event the outstanding shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock cease to represent at least 15.33 percent of the total number of shares of common stock (both Ordinary Common Stock and Multi-Vote Common Stock) issued on the Effective Date (approximately 35.1 million shares) or at least 10 percent of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding at any time (the "Minimum“Minimum Hold Condition"Condition”).  Shares of the Ordinary Common Stock and Multi-Vote Common Stock are referred to below collectively as “Shares of Common Stock.”

            As part of the Plan, Magellan offered to holders of its Old Subordinated Notes, its general unsecured creditorsthe Other GUCs and one holder of an administrative claim the opportunity to purchase, on the effective date of the Plan, shares of common stock equivalentup to 6,052,632 shares of Ordinary Common Stock for a total purchase price of $75 million ($12.39 per share).

            F-11




            The Company also received as part of the Plan a commitment from Onex to purchase on the same terms anya number of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock equal to the amount of shares of Ordinary Common Stock not purchased in the Equity Offering by the creditors to whom such shares were offered. Pursuant to the equity offering included in the Plan, creditors purchased 5,111,019 shares of Ordinary Common Stock and Onex purchased 941,613 shares.shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock.

            Onex also purchased, pursuant to an additional commitment under the Plan, 6,052,632 shares of common stockMulti-Vote Common Stock for a total purchase price of $75 million (the "Onex Investment"“Onex Investment”), or $12.39 per share. In addition, Onex committed, under the Plan, to fund an offer made by Magellan pursuant to the Plan

            F-12



            to holders of its Old Subordinated Notes and to the Company'sCompany’s other general unsecured creditors permitting them to elect to receive $9.78 in cash per share in lieu of the shares of Ordinary Common Stock they would otherwise receive under the Plan (the "Cash-Out Election"“Cash-Out Election”). Onex committed to fund the Cash-Out Election by purchasing that amount of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock at $9.78 per share equal to the amount of shares of Ordinary Common Stock cashed out pursuant to the Cash-Out Election. As of the Effective Date,December 31, 2003, Onex had purchased 1,421,335 shares pursuant to this commitment. Also pursuant to this commitment, Onexand committed to purchase subsequent to the Effective Date, up to an additional 137,1208,552,700 shares pursuant to this commitment as a result of the settlement of claims that had elected the Cash-Out Election but were disputed and unresolved at the Effective Date. Onex has purchased and will purchase 8,552,700Multi-Vote Common Stock shares in the aggregate (in(941,613 shares in the Equity Offering, 6,052,632 shares pursuant to the Onex Investment and 1,558,455 shares to fund the Cash-Out Election), all. In January 2004, Onex sold 82,854 shares of which areMulti-Vote Common Stock to Morgan Noble LLC, resulting in the conversion of such shares to Ordinary Common Stock upon the transfer of the shares. Also during fiscal 2004, Onex purchased another 17,904 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock as a result of its commitment under the Cash-Out Election. Therefore, as of December 31, 2004, Onex owned 8,487,750 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. These shares represented approximately 24.0 percent of the shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2004, and 23.3 percent of the common stock on a fully diluted basis as of December 31, 2004. As stated above,part of Onex’s commitment under the allocationCash-Out Election, as of stock among creditors will changeFebruary 22, 2005, Onex is required to purchase an additional 17,850 shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock based on the valueresolution of alldisputed claims as ultimately resolved.

Undercontract, relating to the renewed agreement, the Company will continue to manageCompany’s management of  the behavioral health care of members of Aetna'sAetna’s healthcare programs through December 31, 2005.  On December 8, 2004, the Company was informed that Aetna planned to not renew such contract as of December 31, 2005, with anand that Aetna planned to exercise its option for Aetna at that time to either extend the agreement or to purchase, on December 31, 2005, certain assets of the Company used solely in the management of the behavioral healthcare of Aetnahealth care services for Aetna’s members (the "Aetna-Dedicated Assets"“Aetna Assets”).  Pursuant to the Plan, on February 23, 2005, the Company and Aetna executed an asset purchase agreement related to Aetna’s purchase of the Aetna Assets.  Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company paid $15.0 million to Aetna, out of a debt obligation allowed under the Plan of $60.0 million plus accrued interest, and issued to Aetna an interest-bearing note (the "Aetna Note"“Aetna Note”) for the balance of $48.9 million, which will mature on

            2.   Fresh Start Reporting

            In connection with the consummation of the Plan, the Company adopted the fresh start reporting provisions SOP 90-7, with respect to its financial reports, which requiresrequired the Company to restate its assets and liabilities to their fair values based upon the provisions of the Plan and certain valuations which the Company has made in connection with the implementation of the Plan. The Company iswas required to apply the fresh-start provisions of SOP 90-7 to its financial statements because it hashad concluded that (a) the reorganization value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (b) the holders of existing voting shares of the Company immediately before confirmation (i.e., the holders of shares of Magellan'sMagellan’s pre-petition common stock that were issued and outstanding prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 proceedings) received less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity. SOP 90-7 sets forth the principles regarding the date at which a company that has emerged from a chapter 11 proceeding should apply fresh start reporting to account for the effects of the plan of reorganization. Under SOP 90-7, application of fresh start reporting is required on the date on which the plan of reorganization is confirmed by the bankruptcy court, but SOP 90-7 further provides that fresh start reporting shouldis not be applied until all material conditions are satisfied. All material conditions to the Plan were satisfied as of December 29, 2003 (the "Material“Material Conditions Date"Date”). Due to the proximity of the Material Conditions Date to year end and the immateriality of the results of operations for the intervening two-day period through December 31,

            F-13




            2003, the Company applied fresh start reporting as if the material conditions were satisfied on December 31, 2003.

            F-14



            The fair value of the Reorganized Company, or the reorganization value, of approximately $675.0 million, prior to $146.9 million of net proceeds from new equity in the Company as discussed in Note 1—"General",“General,” was allocated to long-term debt and equity in accordance with SOP 90-7. The reorganization value was estimated by independent appraisers utilizing comparable-company trading multiples and discounted cash-flow methodologies. Based on the Plan, the Company'sCompany’s reorganization value, excluding debt, resulted in equity reorganization value, as disclosed in the Plan, of $241.0 million (prior to the aforementioned new equity transactions). Fresh start reporting requires that the reorganization value be allocated to the entity'sentity’s net assets in conformity with procedures specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"(“SFAS”) No. 141, "Business“Business Combinations," ("” (“SFAS 141"141”). The Company engaged another independent appraiser to assist in the allocation of the reorganization value to the Reorganized Company'sCompany’s assets and liabilities by determining the fair market value of the Company'sCompany’s property and equipment and intangible assets. The fair value adjustments primarily impacted goodwill, intangible assets, fixed assets and certain liabilities.

            3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

            Review of Significant Accounting Policies

            As discussed in Note 2—“Fresh Start Reporting,” the Company adopted fresh start reporting as of December 31, 2003, creating, in substance, per SOP 90-7, a new reporting entity. The Reorganized Company has adopted the same acountingaccounting policies as the Predecessor Company with the exception of the date on which the Reorganized Company intends to perform its annual goodwill impairment test under SFAS No. 142. The ReorganizationReorganized Company will perform its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, as opposedcompared to the previous date of  September 1.

            F-17Recent Accounting Pronouncements

            In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51” (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 requires consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Historically, entities were generally consolidated by an enterprise when it had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity. The Reorganized Company early adopted the provisions of FIN 46 effective December 31, 2003. Early adoption of new accounting pronouncements is required by companies implementing the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7. Based on the guidance of FIN 46, the Reorganized Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Premier Behavioral Systems of Tennessee, LLC (“Premier”), a variable interest entity for which the Reorganized Company maintains a 50 percent voting interest. Consistent with the provisions of FIN 46, the Reorganized Company consolidated the balance

            F-16




            sheet of Premier into the Reorganized Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 and 2004. Through December 31, 2003, the Predecessor Company accounted for Premier under the equity method, whereby the Predecessor Company included its portion of Premier’s earnings or loss in its consolidated statement of operations under the caption “Equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries.” The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the primary beneficiary of Premier.  The consolidation of Premier at December 31, 2003 increased total assets and total liabilities each by $43.2 million. The fair value of the accounts consolidated was equivalent to their book value at December 31, 2003. In 2004, the Reorganized Company consolidated the results of operations of Premier in its consolidated statement of operations, which represented $253.0 million of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

            The Company currently measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and discloses pro forma stock-based compensation under the requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required July 1, 2005 adoption of Statement 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Since SFAS 123R must be applied not only to new awards but also to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because the Company adopted SFAS 123, using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized under SFAS 123R. However, had SFAS 123R been adopted in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share below entitled “Stock-Based Compensation.”  SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax credits in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as permitted under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were immaterial.

            Use of Estimates

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, medical claims payable and legal liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

            Financial Reporting Under the Bankruptcy Code

            From March 11, 2003 (the "Commencement Date"“Commencement Date”) to December 31, 2003, the Company accounted for its operations under SOP 90-7. In accordance with SOP 90-7, certain expenses incurred and benefits realized by the Company during the bankruptcy period were recorded as "Reorganization“Reorganization benefit, net"net” in the accompanying audited consolidated statements of operations. In order to record its debt instruments at the amount of claim expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with SOP 90-7, as of the Commencement Date, Magellan wrote off as reorganization expense its capitalized deferred financing fees

            F-17




            associated with the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes. Reorganization expense also includes professional fees and other expenses directly associated with the bankruptcy process. As part of its financial restructuring plan, the Company rejected certain leases for closed offices. To the extent the estimated cost to the Company as a result of rejecting such leases was different than the liability previously recorded, such difference was recorded as a component of reorganization benefit, net, in accordance with SOP 90-7. Furthermore, in accordance with SOP 90-7, reorganization benefit, net includes the estimated interest income that the Company earned attributable to additional unrestricted cash balances that accumulated as a result of the chapter 11 proceedings.

See discussion of these subcontracts in "Significant Customers" below. The Company receives fixed fees under its TRICARE subcontract for the management of the TRICARE services, which are subject to certain bid price adjustments ("BPAs"). The BPAs are calculated in accordance with contractual provisions and are based on actual healthcare utilization from historical periods as well as changes in certain factors during the contract period. The Company has information to record, on a quarterly basis, reasonable estimates of the BPAs as part of its managed care risk revenues. These estimates are based upon information available, on a quarterly basis, from both the TRICARE program and the Company's information systems. Under the contracts, the Company settles the BPAs at set intervals over the term of the contracts.

As previously noted, the Company started consolidating Premier in accordance with FIN 46 as of December 31, 2003. The Company recorded $253.0 million of revenue from Premier’s TennCare contract during the year ended December 31, 2004.

            In September 2003, the State of Tennessee (“the State”) issued a request for proposal ("RFP"(“RFP”) relating to the TennCare program under which the program willwas to be divided into three regions. The Company, through TBH, submitted a proposal for the East region only and was awarded the contract. The new contract, with respect to the East region will become effectivewhich has a term from July 1, 2004.2004 through December 31, 2005, with extensions at the State’s option through December 31, 2008. When contract negotiations between the State and the vendor that had been awarded the contracts for the Middle and West regions were discontinued, the State asked TBH and Premier to continue with their current contracts for those regions through December 31, 2004. The East region contract has an initial term that runsEffective July 1, 2004 agreements with the State were reached, under which TBH and Premier will continue serving the Middle and West regions of TennCare through December 31, 2005. As a result of these agreements, the Company will continue to manage behavioral health care for the entire TennCare program.

            On January 10, 2005, the Governor of Tennessee stated that, because of the increased costs of the TennCare program, the State will cease providing coverage to approximately 323,000 adults who do not qualify for Medicaid, and will limit benefits to be delivered under the TennCare program. The Governor stated that he wishes to begin implementing such membership and benefit changes in March 2005 and includes a provision for extensions atcomplete them by the State's option through December 31, 2008.

            The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from contracts with various counties in the state of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Counties"“Pennsylvania Counties”). Although these are separate contracts with individual counties, they all pertain to the Pennsylvania Medicaid program. Revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled approximately $121.1 million, $181.9 million and $189.6 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $36.0 million and $56.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.respectively, and $187.7 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Company'sCompany’s contract with one of the counties was terminated as of December 31, 2003. Revenue related to this particular county totaled approximately $19.6 million, $22.8 million and $24.0 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $5.1 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

            Income Taxes

            The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and its wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting“Accounting for Income Taxes". Taxes.” The deferredCompany estimates income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates.  This process involves estimating current tax exposures together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and book purposes. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or

            F-21



            settled. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from the reversal of temporary timing differences and future taxable income, and to the extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is more likely than not, it establishes a valuation allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based on the Company's assessment of the realizability of such amounts.

            Advertising Costs

            Advertising costs consist primarily of radio and television airtime and printed media services, which are expensed as incurred. Advertising expensecosts for continuing operations was approximatelywere $2.9 million and $2.1 million in each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 20012002 and 2002, respectively, and approximately $2.1 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

            Investments

            Investments consist primarily of U.S. Government agency securities, corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit. The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”). Prior to fiscal 2004, the Company classified its investments as “held to maturity,” and reclassified its investments as “available-for-sale” during fiscal 2004.   Investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices. The Company’s policy is to classify all investments with contractual maturities within one year as current. Investment income is recognized when earned and reported net of investment expenses. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of tax, as “accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) until realized, unless the losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains or losses, including any provision for other-than-temporary declines in value, are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

            The Company periodically evaluates whether any declines in the fair value of investments are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of a review of several factors, including but not limited to:  the length of time and extent that a security has been in an unrealized loss position; the existence of an event that would impair the issuer’s future earnings potential; the near-term prospects for recovery of the market value of a security; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security until the market value recovers. Declines in value below cost for investments where it is considered probable that all contractual terms of the investment will be satisfied, the decline is due primarily to changes in interest rates (and not because of increased credit risk), and where the Company intends and has the ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow a market recovery, are not assumed to be other-than-temporary. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” (“EITF 03-1”), the Company periodically reviews those investment securities whose unrealized losses have remained unrealized for more than six months to determine if such unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. Unrealized losses related to investments greater and less than one year are not material.

            In relation to its investment securities, the Company is not aware of the existence of any financial difficulties for any of the issuers of such investment securities which would cause the Company to question whether such issuers will be able to honor such investment securities upon maturity.  Further, the Company believes the declines in fair value of its investment securities were caused by changes in market interest rates. The Company intends to hold these related investment securities to maturity and has the ability to do so. As of December 31, 2004, there were no unrealized losses that the Company believed to be other-than-temporary.  No realized gains or losses were recorded for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2002 and

            Accounts Receivable

            The Company'sCompany’s accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers throughout the United States. Collateral is generally not required. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to provide for normal credit losses.

            Concentration of Credit Risk

            Accounts receivable subjectsubjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk with third party payors that include health insurance companies, managed healthcare organizations, healthcare providers and governmental entities. As of December 31, 2002, no single customer comprised greater than 10 percent of the Company's net accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2003, one customer comprised greater than 10 percent of the Company'sCompany’s net accounts receivable balance.

            Long-lived Assets

            Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be addressed pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("Assets” (“SFAS 144"144”). Pursuant to this guidance, impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management'smanagement’s best estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. The cash flow projections used to make this assessment are consistent with the cash flow projections that management uses internally to assist in making key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined by using quoted market prices or the discounted present value of expected future cash flows.

            Property and Equipment

            Property and equipment is stated at cost, except for assets that have been impaired, for which the carrying amount ishas been reduced to estimated fair value. Property and equipment is stated at fair value as of December 31, 2003 as part of the Company'sCompany’s application of fresh start reporting, as discussed in Note 2—"Fresh Start Reporting." Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized to the property accounts. Replacements and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is capitalized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting“Accounting for Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use".Use.” Amortization of capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense.expense and is included in accumulated depreciation as reflected in the table below. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally two to ten years for buildings and improvements, three to ten years for equipment and three to five years for capitalized internal-use software. Depreciation expense for continuing operations was $28.2 million, $37.2 million and $30.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, $8.7 million and was $9.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002.

             In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company approved and implemented a plan to consolidate the Company's information systems. As a result of this plan, the Company reduced the remaining estimated useful life of certain capitalized internal use claims processing software to eighteen months. In addition, management also reevaluated the estimated useful lives of certain other computer software and hardware, and reduced the estimated useful lives from five to three years. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company approved a plan to further accelerate the consolidation of certain information systems. As a result of this plan, the Company reduced, as of April 1, 2002, the remaining useful lives of certain other information systems to periods ranging from twelve to twenty-four months. The net book value of assets affected by these changes in useful lives at December 31, 2002 was $7.5 million.

                    These changes resulted in increased depreciation of these assets on a prospective basis. The effect of these changes in useful lives was to increase depreciation expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 and for the three months ended December 31, 2002 by $5.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. These changes reduced net income for fiscal 2002 and for the three months ended December 31, 2002 by $3.4 million ($0.10 per diluted share) and $0.7 million ($0.02 per diluted share), respectively.

            Predecessor Company Goodwill

            Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair value of the net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2003, the Company'sPredecessor Company’s goodwill was written-off in accordance with the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7.

            In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company early adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("Assets” (“SFAS 142"142”). Under SFAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill over its estimated useful life. Instead, the Company is required to test the goodwill for impairment based upon fair values at least on an annual basis. In accordance with the early adoption of SFAS 142, the Company assigned the book value of goodwill to its reporting units, and performed an initial impairment test as of October 1, 2001.

            F-24



            The Company determined that its reporting units are identical to its reporting segments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $207.8 million, before taxes ($191.6 million after taxes), to write-down the balance of goodwill related to the Employer Solutions reporting unit to estimated fair value, based on independently appraised values. This initial impairment charge was recognized by the Company as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, separate from operating results, in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company proceeded with the annual impairment test, which is the comparison of the adjusted recorded goodwill balance at September 1, 2002 to the estimated fair value of the goodwill. The Company selected September 1 as its annual measurement date under SFAS 142. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $415.9 million to write-down the balance of goodwill related to the Health Plan Solutions, Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units to estimated fair

            F-23




            value, based on independently appraised values. This write-down occurred due to changes in the Company'sCompany’s financial performance and its business outlook from the beginning of the year through September 1, 2002, which decreased the estimated fair value of the Company'sCompany’s reporting units.

            In fiscal 2003, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $28.8 million to write-down the balance of goodwill related to the Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units to estimated fair value, based on independently appraised values. This write-down was attributable to the Company'sCompany’s financial performance and its business outlook as of the annual measurement date, and resulted in the complete write-down of goodwill related to the Employer Solutions and Public Sector Solutions reporting units.

            The annual goodwill impairment charges are presented in the accompanying audited consolidated statementstatements of operations as "Goodwill“Goodwill impairment charges",charges,” a component of income (loss) from continuing operations.

            There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2002. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2003 are reflected in the table below (amounts in(in thousands).:

            Reorganized Company Goodwill

            Goodwill has beenwas recorded at December 31, 2003 for the amount of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocated to tangible and identified intangible assets resulting from the application of the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7. Reorganized Company goodwill is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 142. The balance of goodwill of approximately $450.2 million has not been allocated by segment at December 31, 2003. Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company will beis required to test its goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Reorganized Company has selected October 1 as the date of its annual impairment test. The balance of goodwill of $450.2 million and $392.3 million at December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, has been allocated entirely to the Health Plan Solutions segment. The changes in the carrying amount of Reorganized Company goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2004 are reflected in the table below (in thousands):

            $ 392,267


            (1)          Adjustments primarily relate to the following:

            (a)   As of December 31, 2003, the Company had tax contingencies which created an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to realize its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). In addition to recording a full valuation allowance against all NOLs, the Company recorded this contingent liability

            F-24




            for taxes payable. During fiscal 2004, the Company received favorable guidance from the Internal Revenue Service which resolved this contingency. In accordance with SOP 90-7 and SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” any future changes in these balances that existed as of the fresh-start date will be adjusted against goodwill.

            (b)   During fiscal 2004, the Company utilized a tax benefit from the utilization of pre-bankruptcy NOLs. This tax benefit has been reflected as a reduction of goodwill rather than as a reduction to the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations, in accordance with SOP 90-7.

            See further discussion in Note 10—“Income Taxes.”

            Reorganized Company intangible assets were valued, and related estimated useful lives were determined, based upon independent appraisals at December 31, 2003.

            F-26



            Amortization expense for continuing operations was $9.9 million, $10.3 million and $17.5 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and approximately $2.5 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, management reevaluated the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, which resulted in changing the remaining useful lives of certain customer agreementsrespectively and lists and provider networks. Such changes reflected management's estimates, given the Company's business environment at that time. The effect of these changes in remaining useful lives was to increase amortization expense$13.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 by $1.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, and to reduce net income for the same periods by $1.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share and $7.0 million or $0.17 per diluted share, respectively.2004. The Company estimates amortization expense will be $13.8 million, $13.8$8.6 million, $8.6 million, $8.6$1.0 million and $1.0 million for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2008,2009, respectively.

            Cost of Care and Medical Claims Payable

            Cost of care, recorded as a component of operating expenses, is recognized in the period in which members received behavioral health services. In addition to actual benefits paid, cost of care includes the impact of accruals for estimates of medical claims payable.

            Medical claims payable represents the liability for healthcare claims reported but not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR"(“IBNR”) related to the Company'sCompany’s managed healthcare businesses. The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is estimated based on past claims payment experience for member groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific actuarial reserve models. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes the liability for medical claims payable is adequate.

            F-25




            Medical claims payable balances are continually monitored and reviewed. Changes in assumptions for cost of care caused by changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change in the near term.

            Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

            Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (see Note 8—"Stockholders' Equity"“Stockholders’ Equity”).

            Stock-Based Compensation

                    Under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which established new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans, entities are allowed to measure compensation cost for stock-based compensation under SFAS 123 or Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and income per share as if the provisions of SFAS 123 had been applied.

            F-27



            The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation under APB 25, and discloses stock-based compensation under the requirements of SFAS 123 and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure" as shown below. At December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company had stock-based employee incentive plans, which are described more fully in Note 8—"Stockholders' Equity".“Stockholders’ Equity.”  Had the Company elected to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, pro forma net income and net income per share would be as follows.follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

            Credit Agreement

            On the Effective Date, the Company repaid amounts outstanding under the Old Credit Agreement totaling $160.8 million utilizing proceeds from the new credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG (the "Credit Agreement"“Credit Agreement”) and the additional capital provided by the Equity Offering and the Onex Investment, as contemplated by the Plan. See below for further discussion of the Credit Agreement. Amounts repaid on the Effective Date under the Old Credit Agreement in excess of amounts advanced under the Credit Agreement have been classified as "Debt“Debt paid upon consummation of the Plan"Plan” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003.

            The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan Facility in an original aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, a Revolving Loan Facility providing for loans of up to $50.0 million and a Credit-Linked Facility for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company in an original aggregate principal amount of $80.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and certain quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are also required. As of the Effective Date,December 31, 2004, the Company had $85.0 million outstanding $100.0 million under the Term Loan Facility. On the Effective Date, the Company incurred deferred financing fees of approximately $7.4 million related to the Credit Agreement. Additionally, effective September 29, 2004, the Credit-Linked Facility was reduced from $80 million to $50.0 million. The Company hadaccounted for the reduction of the Credit-Linked Facility in accordance with EITF 98-14 Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements,and accordingly, wrote off $0.8 million of fees associated with the Credit Agreement and will amortize the remaining unamortized fees relating to the Credit Agreement over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and quarterly principal payments are required on the Term Loan Facility. The Company has not drawn on the Revolving Loan Facility, resulting in unutilized commitments of $50.0 million. As of the Effective Date,December 31, 2004, the Company had issued letters of credit in the amount of $62.7$45.1 million, resulting in unutilized commitments under the Credit-Linked Facility of $17.3$4.9 million. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in installments in amounts equal to $15.0 million in 2004, $22.5 million in 2005, $25.0 million in 2006, $25.0 million in 2007 and $12.5 million in 2008. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

            On October 25, 2004 (“the First Amendment Effective Date”), the Credit Agreement was amended (the “Amendment”) to reduce the annual interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and on the Credit-Linked Facility, each by 1.25 percent. As a result of the Amendment, the annual interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility fluctuates at a rate equal to the sum of (i) a borrowing margin of 2.25 percent (subject to reduction of up to 0.50 percent based on the Company’s debt ratings), plus (ii) (A) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans, the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, or (B) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, an interest rate which is a function of the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans at its discretion. As of December 31, 2004, all loans under the Term Loan Facility were Eurodollar denominated loans at a borrowing rate of 4.74 percent. As a result of the Amendment, the commitment fee on the Credit-Linked Facility is equal to the sum of 2.25 percent (subject to reduction of up to 0.50 percent based on the Company’s debt ratings), plus an additional amount that is based on the administrative costs and term of the Credit-Linked Facility. As of December 31, 2004, the commitment fee on the Credit-Linked Facility was 2.37 percent. In addition, under the Amendment, certain mandatory prepayment requirements were eliminated, and several covenants that restricted or limited the Company’s ability to repurchase or refinance Senior Notes, make investments, and incur debt pertaining to letters of credit were amended. The Company paid and expensed $0.3 million in fees associated with the Amendment.

            The Revolving Loan Facility and Term Loan Facility are subject to mandatory prepayment and reductions in an amount equal to (i) 50 percent of the net equity proceeds of any capital contribution or any sale or issuance of the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' common or preferred equity (including from the sale or issuance of options, warrants, or rights to purchase any such equity),

            F-39



            (ii) 100 percent of each capital contribution made to cure a default or event of default, (iii)(ii) 100 percent of any net debt proceeds from anycertain issuance or incurrence by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of indebtedness for borrowed money, (iv)other than permitted new senior

            F-33




            or subordinated notes and other permitted indebtedness, and (iii) 100 percent of the net proceeds from assets sales not made in the ordinary course of business.

            The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains a number of covenants that restrict or limit the Company'sCompany’s ability to engage in various transactions that may affect the interests of the lenders, including requirements limiting the ability to enter into partnerships, joint ventures, merger or consolidation transactions, to make capital expenditures and to issue capital stock. In addition, the Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests (as defined), including minimum consolidated EBITDA, interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. Failure to comply with such covenants, without waiver, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement, as amended, and in the event the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, as amended, were accelerated, would give rise to defaults under substantially all of the Company'sCompany’s other debt agreements. As of the date of filing of this Form 10-K, theThe Company believes that it is in compliance with these covenants.

                    The annual interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Loan Facility fluctuate at a rate equal to the sum of (i) a borrowing margin of 3.50 percent (subject to reduction of up to 0.50 percent based on the Company's debt ratings), plus (ii) (A) in the case of U.S. denominated loans, the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight "federal funds" rate, or (B) in the case of a Eurodollar loan, an interest rate which is a function of the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in U.S. denominated loans or Eurodollar loans. As of the Effective Date, all loans under the Term Loan Facility were Eurodollar loans and the borrowing rate on the Term Loan Facility was 4.75%.

            The Company incurs a commitment fee on the Revolving Loan Facility ranging from 0.50 percent to 0.75 percent of the total available amount under the facility. The commitment fee percentage varies with the percentage of unutilized amounts under the Revolving Loan Facility. The Company also incurs a commitment fee on its Credit-Linked Facility, which is equal to the sum of 3.50 percent (subject to reduction of up to 0.50 percent based on the Company's debt ratings), plus an additional amount, which is dependent on the administrative costs and term of the Credit-Linked Facility. In addition, the Company incurs a fee in the amount of 0.125% for all letters of credit issued. The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, as amended, are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, security interests in and pledges of or liens on substantially all the material tangible and intangible assets of the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, secure the Revolving Loan Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the guarantees.

              The shares for the period from July 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 were purchased and issued to employees in January 2003. No shares of common stock were purchased or issued in fiscal 2003 under the 2000 ESPP due to the fact that there were only 58,110 shares left for allocation, and due to the Company's bankruptcy filing on March 11, 2003.

              Common Stock Warrants.    The Company issued 114,690 warrants in fiscal 1992 that expired on June 30, 2002 (the "2002 Warrants") to purchase one share each of the Predecessor Company's common stock. The 2002 Warrants had an exercise price of $5.24 per share. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, 6,267 shares were issued upon the exercise of 2002 Warrants. No shares were issued upon exercises of warrants during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2003, or during the three months ended December 31, 2002. Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date all previously outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of Magellan were cancelled.

              Pursuant to the Plan, the previous Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of Magellan was cancelled on the Effective Date (see Note 9—"Redeemable Preferred Stock"Stock” below) and the holders thereof were issued 456,660 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, as well as warrants to purchase until the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date (January 5, 2011) for $30.46 per share, a like number of shares of Ordinary Common Stock. The previously outstanding common stock of Magellan also was also cancelled on the Effective Date (see above) and the holders thereof became entitled to receive 114,165 shares of Ordinary Common Stock, as well as warrants to purchase at any time until January 5, 2011 for $30.46 per share a like number of shares of Ordinary Common Stock (i.e., 114,165), which equals approximately one share of Ordinary Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of

              F-47



              Ordinary Common Stock for every 310 shares of the previously outstanding common stock. Taken together, such warrants (the "2004 Warrants"“2004 Warrants”) total 570,825.

              F-38




              Also on the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with Aetna whereby Aetna has the option to purchase, between January 1, 2006 and January 5, 2009, 230,000 shares of Ordinary Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.48 per share (the "Aetna Warrants"“Aetna Warrants”).

              During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, 19 warrants of the 2004 Warrants were exercised, which reduced the total shares issuable pursuant to the 2004 Warrants to 570,806 as of December 31, 2004. The effect on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this exercise was not material. The Company estimated the fair market value of the 2004 Warrants and the Aetna Warrants as of the Effective Date. The Company recorded the fair market value of the 2004 Warrants as an increase to warrants outstanding, a component of additional paid-in capital. The fair values of the common stock warrants were estimated on the date of their grant/acquisition using the Black-ScholesBlack-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

              Conversion of redeemable preferred stock was not presumed for fiscal 2001 and 2002 due to the anti-dilutive effect. Conversion of the redeemable preferred stock was presumed outstanding for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Additionally, redemption of the TPG series "A" option (the "Option") (seeThe Option (as defined in Note 9—"Redeemable Preferred Stock"Stock”) was not presumed in fiscal 2001 due to the anti-dilutive effect. The Option expired on August 19, 2002. Certain stock options and warrants which were outstanding during the fiscal yearsyear ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2003, as well as duringand the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share

              F-40




              because of the anti-dilutive effect. Because the Company reported a loss from continuing operations in fiscal 2002, no common stock equivalents have been included in the computation of weighted average common shares outstanding for fiscal 2002. See Note 9—"Redeemable Preferred Stock",Stock,” for further discussion of the redeemable preferred stock.

              9.   Redeemable Preferred Stock

              TPG Investment

              On December 5, 1999, TPG Magellan, LLC, an affiliate of the investment firm Texas Pacific Group ("TPG"(“TPG”) purchased approximately $59.1 million of the Predecessor Company'sCompany’s Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series“Series A Preferred Stock"Stock”) and an Option (the "Option"“Option”) to purchase approximately $21.0 million of additional Series A Preferred Stock. The Option expired, without being exercised, on August 19, 2002. The Series A Preferred Stock was cancelled on the Effective Date as discussed in Note 8—"Stockholders'“Stockholders’ Equity." The Series A Preferred Stock carried a dividend of 6.5% per annum, payable in quarterly installments in cash or common stock through December 15, 2001 (cash only thereafter), subject to certain conditions. Dividends not paid in cash or common stock accumulated. No dividends had been paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. TPG had the right to nominate three representatives to the Predecessor Company'sCompany’s Board of Directors. TPG had two representatives on the Predecessor Company'sCompany’s seven-member Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company'sCompany’s Board of Directors was reconstituted on the Effective Date to consist of nine members, none of which are affiliated with TPG.

              Upon adoption of SOP 90-7, the Company wrote off all of its unamortized issuance costs of approximately $2.7 million (net of a tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million) as "Preferred“Preferred stock reorganization items, net"net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

              The Company notes that for federal income tax purposes, the cancellation of indebtedness event takes placeoccurred on the date of the Company'sCompany’s emergence from bankruptcy (January 5, 2004) and the actual attribute reduction calculation as set forth under Internal Revenue Code Section 108 occurs at oroccurred immediately after December 31, 2004 (the taxable year of discharge) and generally after determining the income tax liability for 2004. The Company plans to changechanged its income tax reporting year to a calendar year basis in conformity with its financial reporting year effective December 31, 2003. For

              F-51



              financial reporting purposes, the emergence from bankruptcy is deemed to occur in 2003; however, since the Company did not emerge from bankruptcy until January 5, 2004, for federal income tax purposes, the emergence from bankruptcy is a 2004 event.

              After consideration of the effect of bankruptcy emergence, including the effect of cancellation of indebtedness income and the related attribute reduction effects as provided under Internal Revenue Code Section 108, the Company estimates that it has reportable NOLs as of December 31, 2003, the Company has estimated tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards2004 of approximately $507.3$525 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOL carryforwardsNOLs expire in 20062009 through 2019. 2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service. In accordance with SOP 90-7, subsequent (post-bankruptcy) utilization by the Company of NOLs which existed at January 5, 2004 will be accounted for as reductions to goodwill or additional paid-in capital and therefore, will only benefit cash flows due to reduced tax payments and will not benefit the Company’s tax provision for income taxes.

              Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets (including NOLs) are estimated based on the Company'sCompany’s assessment of the realizability of such amounts. The Company'sCompany’s history of recent operating losses (prior to reorganization benefits) and financial restructuring activities and its lack of substantial history of profitable operations subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy have created uncertainty as to the Company'sCompany’s ability to realize its NOL carryforwardsNOLs and other deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company's utilization of NOL carryforwards will be subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 upon emergence from bankruptcy, which may affect the timing of the use of, or ultimate realization of, NOL carryforwards. During fiscal 2002, in light of its financial situation, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, theThe Company continuescontinued to maintain a full valuation allowance covering all of the Company'sCompany’s net deferred tax assets.

                      The Company recognized current tax expense attributable to estimated current taxable income for the three months endedassets as of December 31, 20022003 and the year endedsubstantially all of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2003. This expense was recorded due2004. As of December 31, 2004, net deferred tax assets, after reduction for valuation allowance, represent the Company’s estimate of those net tax assets which are more likely than not to be realizable.

              F-42




              In addition, the Company’s utilization of NOLs became subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 upon emergence from bankruptcy, which affects the timing of the use of NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will materially limit the Company’s ability to use any NOLs before they expire. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2003, the Company had tax contingencies which created an uncertainty as to the estimated utilizationCompany’s ability to realize its NOLs. In addition to recording a full valuation allowance against all NOLs, the Company recorded this contingent liability of NOL carryforwards generated prior$23.2 million for taxes payable. During fiscal 2004, the Company received favorable guidance from the Internal Revenue Service which resolved this contingency, resulting in the reversal of the related liability and a reduction to a previous bankruptcy filing in 1992 and prior to the occurrence of certain other events which may cause limitations on its NOL carryforwards. goodwill (in accordance with SOP 90-7).

              Under SOP 90-7, the deferred tax benefit related to the realization of the pre-1992 bankruptcy NOL carryforwardspre-bankruptcy NOLs is not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's currentCompany recognized tax expense in fiscal 2003 also includes changes in estimates regarding the Company's utilization of the above-referenced NOL carryforwards due to amendments of prior year tax returns.

              (2)
              Upon reevaluation of reserves related to the restructuring plan in fiscal 2002, the Company recorded estimated additional special charges related to severance and lease reserves in the amount of $1.4 million.

              (3)
              Includes the reduction of reserves attributable to the change in estimates of liabilities associated with potential bankruptcy claims related to leased facilities. In accordance with SOP 90-7, such adjustments are recorded as a component of "Special charges" in the accompanying audited consolidated statements of operations.

              (4)
              As part of its financial restructuring plan and chapter 11 proceedings, the Company rejected certain leasesestimated current taxable income for closed offices. The estimated cost to the Company as a result of rejecting such leases is different than the liability previously recorded. In accordance with SOP 90-7, such difference has been recorded in the accompanying audited consolidated statements of operations as "Reorganization expense (benefit)". In addition, the Company's application of fresh start reporting as of December 31, 2003 resulted in a net reduction of the liability. See further discussion in Note 2—"Fresh Start Reporting."

                      During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company sold its Canadian managed behavioral care operations, CHC, to Family Guidance Group, Inc. for approximately $9.7 million net of transaction costs of $0.3 million. The sale of the Canadian operations resulted in a non-recurring loss of approximately $3.3 million before provision for income taxes. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $8.4 million at the date of the sale, an additional $0.7 million in January 2002 and an additional $0.6 million in December 2002. Proceeds received from the sale were used to reduce debt outstanding under the Company's previous term loan facility.

                      As of December 31, 2001, management committed the Company to a restructuring plan to eliminate certain duplicative functions and facilities (the "2002 Restructuring Plan") primarily related to the Health Plan Solutions segment. The Company's 2002 Restructuring Plan resulted in the recognition of special charges of approximately $8.2 million during fiscal 2002, with special charges of $4.5 million being recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2001. The fiscal 2002 special charges consisted of (i) $6.3 million to terminate 277 employees, the majority of which were field operational personnel in the Health Plan Solutions segment and (ii) $1.9 million to downsize and close excess facilities, and other associated activities.

                      The employee termination costs include severance and related termination benefits, including payroll taxes. All terminations were completed by September 30, 2002. The majority of the employee termination costs were paid in full by March 31, 2003. The special charges of $1.9 million represent costs to downsize and close 14 leased facilities. These closure and exit costs include payments required under lease contracts (less any applicable existing and/or estimated sublease income) after the properties were abandoned, write-offs of leasehold improvements related to the facilities and other related expenses. The leased facilities were originally scheduled to terminate at various dates through fiscal 2006; however, all of such leases have been rejected as part of the chapter 11 proceedings. At December 31, 2003, outstanding liabilities of $0.1 million related to the 2002 Restructuring Plan are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the accompanying December 31, 2003 consolidated balance sheet.

                      In June 2002, the Company implemented a new business improvement initiative, named Accelerated Business Improvement ("ABI"). ABI was instituted to expand the initiatives of the 2002 Restructuring Plan to the Company as a whole, and was focused on reducing operational and administrative costs while maintaining or improving service to customers. During fiscal 2002, ABI resulted in recognition of costs of (a) $2.9 million to terminate 228 employees, the majority of which were field operational personnel, and (b) $1.0 million to downsize and close excess facilities and other associated activities.

                      During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company's ABI initiative resulted in the recognition of special charges of (a) $2.0 million to terminate 172 employees that comprised both field operational and corporate personnel, and (b) $0.5 million to downsize and close excess facilities and other associated activities.

              Insurance

              The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage for a broad range of risks in its business. As part of this program of insurance, the Company is self-insured for a portion of its general and

              F-60



              current professional liability risks. Prior to July 1999, the Company maintained certain reserves related primarily to the professional liability risks of the Company'sCompany’s healthcare provider segment arising prior to the sale of its domestic acute-care psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment facilities to Crescent Transactions.Real Estate Equities in fiscal 1997. On July 2, 1999, the Company transferred its remaining medical malpractice claims portfolio (the "Loss“Loss Portfolio Transfer"Transfer”) to a third-party insurer for approximately $22.3 million. The Loss Portfolio Transfer was funded from assets restricted for settlement of unpaid claims. The insurance limit obtained through the Loss Portfolio Transfer for future medical malpractice claims is $26.3 million. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of these insured limits and management believes these amounts are sufficient; however, there can be no assurance in that regard.

              The Company maintained general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers covering the two-year period from June 17, 2000 to June 16, 2002. The policies were written on a "claims-made" basis, subject to a $0.25 million per claim and $1.0 million annual aggregate self-insured retention for general and professional liability, and also subject to a $0.5 million per claim and $2.5 million annual aggregate self-insured retention for managed care liability. The Company renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers for the one-year period from June 17, 2002 to June 16, 2003. These policies were also written on a "claims-made" basis, and were subject to a $1.0 million per claim ($5.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care liability and a $0.25 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for general and professional liability. The Companyrecently renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers for a one-year period from June 17, 20032004 to June 16, 2004.17, 2005. The general liability policies are alsowritten on an “occurrence” basis, subject to a $0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability and managed care errors and omissions liability policies are written on a "claims-made"“claims-made” basis, subject to a $1.25 million per claim ($10.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care liability, and a $0.25$0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for general and professional liability. The Company also purchases excess liability coverage in an amount deemedthat management believes to be reasonable by management for the size and profile of the organization. The Company is responsible for claims within its self-insured retentions, excluding portions of claims reported after the expiration date of the policies if they are not renewed, or if policy limits are exceeded.

              F-46




              Regulatory Issues.The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations. The subjects of such laws and regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Over the past several years, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and/or allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by healthcare organizations and insurers. Entities that are found to have violated these laws and regulations may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed patient services. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

              In addition, regulators of certain of the Company'sCompany’s subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under regulations including increasing its supervision of such entities, requiring additional restricted cash or other security or seizing or otherwise taking control of the assets and operations of such subsidiaries. In particular, the State of California has taken certain actions to increase its

              F-61



              supervision of one of the Company's regulated subsidiaries in California due primarily to the Company's financial condition prior to the bankruptcy filing.

              Legal.The Company is subject to or party to certain class action suits, litigation and claims relating to its operations and business practices. LitigationExcept as otherwise provided under the Plan, litigation asserting claims against the Company and its subsidiaries that were parties to the chapter 11 proceedings for pre-petition obligations (the "Pre-petition Litigation"“Pre-petition Litigation”) were, was enjoined as of the Effective Date as a consequence of the commencementconfirmation of the Company's chapter 11 proceedings.Plan by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company believes that the Pre-petition Litigation claims constitute pre-petition general unsecured claims and, to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, would be resolved as Other General Unsecured Claims under the Plan. See Note 1—"General—“Business—Emergence from Chapter 11".11.”

              In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial position or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this regard.

              Operating Leases.The Company leases certain of its operating facilities. The leases, which expire at various dates through January 2013, generally require the Company to pay all maintenance, property tax and insurance costs.

              At December 31, 2003,2004, aggregate amounts of future minimum payments under operating leases were as follows: 2004 – $16.72005—$15.5 million; 2005 – $11.62006—$12.0 million; 2006 – $8.52007—$10.9 million; 2007 – $7.52008—$10.3 million; 2008 – $7.02009—$9.1 million; 20092010 and beyond – $20.2- $19.4 million. Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and closed offices. Such future lease amounts exclude leases that have been rejected as part of the Company'sCompany’s chapter 11 proceedings.

              Rent expense for continuing operations was $33.3 million, $32.9 million and $27.6$27.1 million, respectively, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, and was $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002.2002 and $20.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.  Rent expense for discontinued operations was $6.3 million, $3.6 million and $0.9$0.4 million, respectively, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 and December 31, 2003, and was $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002.2002, and was $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

              15.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
