AMERIGROUP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of AMERIGROUP Corporation and subsidiaries have been prepared without audit. In our opinion, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2002. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.
On June 30, 2000, our Board of Directors and our stockholders approved a one-for-two reverse stock split of our common stock which was effected on November 9, 2001 in connection with the closing of the initial public offering. All agreements concerning stock options and warrants to purchase common stock provide for adjustments in the number of options or warrants and the related exercise price in the event of the declaration of a reverse stock split. All references to number of shares, except shares authorized, to common stock per share information, except par value per share and to stock options and warrants to purchase common stock in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
On November 9, 2001, we completed our initial public offering of 4,985,000 shares of common stock including an over-allotment issuance of 585,000 shares at a price per share of $17.00. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $77.2 million. In conjunction with the offering, all Series A, B, C and D preferred stock in the aggregate was converted into 12,607,880 shares of common stock. We used proceeds from the offering to repay the balance of our long-term debt facility of approximately $4.4 million and to redeem the Series E mandatorily redeemable preferred stock for approximately $13.3 million. In addition, 1,123,823 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of all outstanding Series E warrants.

2. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders plus the accretion of convertible preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities.

3. Effective January 1, 2002, we purchased MethodistCare, Inc.’s (MethodistCare) Houston, Texas Medicaid line of business for approximately $1.6 million. The assets purchased consisted of MethodistCare’s rights to provide managed care services to its Medicaid members.
4. On March 26, 2002, we entered into an agreement to purchase Capital Community Health Plan’s (CCHP) Washington, D.C. Medicaid line of business. The assets to be purchased consist of CCHP’s rights to provide managed care services to its Medicaid members. Subject to regulatory approval, the acquisition is expected to be effective July 2002.
5. In July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS No. 142), was issued which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested annually for impairment. We have adopted SFAS No. 142 and have determined that our goodwill and other intangible assets are not impaired.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other information we provide from time to time, contains certain “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations or cash flows, our continued performance improvements, our ability to service our debt obligations, our ability to finance growth opportunities, our ability to respond to changes in government regulations and similar statements including, without limitation, those containing words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements as a result of, but not limited to, the following factors:
| Ÿ | | national, state and local economic conditions, including their effect on the rate setting process, timing of payments, as well as their effect on the availability and cost of labor, utilities and materials; |
| Ÿ | | the effect of government regulations and changes in regulations governing the health care industry, including our compliance with such regulations and their effect on our ability to manage our medical costs; |
| Ÿ | | changes in Medicaid payment levels and methodologies and the application of such methodologies by the government; |
| Ÿ | | liabilities and other claims asserted against the company; |
| Ÿ | | our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; |
| Ÿ | | our ability to maintain compliance with all minimum capital requirements; |
| Ÿ | | the availability and terms of capital to fund acquisitions and capital improvements; |
| Ÿ | | the competitive environment in which we operate; |
| Ÿ | | our ability to maintain and increase membership levels; and |
Investors should also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2002 for a discussion of risk factors. Given these risks and uncertainties, we can give no assurances that any forward-looking statements will, in fact, transpire and therefore caution investors not to place undue reliance on them.
Overview
We are a multi-state managed health care company focused on serving people who receive health care benefits through state-sponsored programs, including Medicaid, State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and FamilyCare. We were founded in December 1994 with the objective to become the leading managed care organization in the United States focused on serving people who receive these types of benefits. Our revenue is generated primarily from premiums received from the states in which we operate for providing health care benefits to members. We also generate revenues from investments. We generally receive a fixed premium per member per month to provide health care benefits to our members pursuant to contracts with four states and the District of Columbia. Our premiums are generally received in advance of providing services and we recognize premium revenue during the period in which we are obligated to provide services.

The number of members we serve has increased since December 2001. The following table sets forth the approximate number of members we serve in each of our service areas for the periods presented.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001
Revenues
Premium revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $85.2 million, or 45.9% to $270.8 million from $185.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was principally due to internal growth in overall membership and the acquisition of the Medicaid contracts and related assets of Humana’s Houston, Texas business in August 2001 (15,000 members) and MethodistCare Inc.’s Houston, Texas business in January 2002 (11,000 members). Total membership increased 40.9% to 510,000 as of March 31, 2002 from 362,000 as of March 31, 2001.
Investment income decreased $1.3 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in investment income is primarily due to the continued decline in market interest rates partially offset by an increase in overall levels of cash and investments. Levels of cash and investments have primarily increased due to proceeds from our initial public offering and increases in the amount of premiums received versus the timing of the payment of the related health benefits.
Health benefits
Expenses relating to health benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $72.3 million, or 48.0% to $223.0 million from $150.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increase in membership. The health benefits ratio, as a percentage of premium revenue, for

the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased to 82.3% from 81.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in the health benefits ratio is primarily the result of a modest increase in the incidence of upper respiratory conditions and other seasonal-related illnesses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.8 million to $29.9 million for the first quarter of 2002. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in wages and related expenses for additional staff to support our increased membership. Our selling, general and administrative expense ratio to revenue was 11.0% and 12.7% for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in the ratio is primarily a result of lower spending on certain discretionary costs such as marketing and advertising as well as economies of scale and fixed costs being spread over a larger membership base and its related revenue. Expenses related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and development costs related to our possible entry in the New York market were minimal in the first quarter of 2002 but are expected to increase in the remainder of 2002.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.
Provision for income taxes
Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2002 was $7.1 million with an effective tax rate of 41.8% as compared to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2001 and an effective tax rate of 41.0%.
Net income
Net income for the first quarter of 2002 rose $2.8 million, or 39.6% to $9.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $7.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share increased 11.9% primarily due to an increase in net income partially offset by an increase of 4,985,000 common shares outstanding from our November 2001 initial public offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments, cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. As of March 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $114.0 million, short and long-term investments of $194.2 million and restricted investments on deposit for licensure of $18.5 million. As of March 31, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding under our credit facility.
On November 9, 2001, we completed our initial public offering of 4,985,000 shares of common stock including an over-allotment issuance of 585,000 shares at a price per share of $17.00. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $77.2 million. In conjunction with the offering, all Series A, B, C and D preferred stock in the aggregate was converted into 12,607,880 shares of common stock. We used proceeds from the offering to repay the balance of our long-term debt facility of approximately $4.4 million and to redeem the Series E mandatorily redeemable preferred stock for approximately $13.3 million. In addition, 1,123,823 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of all outstanding Series E warrants.
Cash from operations was $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in cash from operations is primarily due to an increase in premium receivables, partially offset by increased net income. As of March 31, 2002, we had working capital and long-term investments of $133.2 million as compared to $122.5 million at December 31, 2001.
11
Cash used in investing activities was $79.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Cash provided by investing activities was $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Cash used in investing activities consist primarily of purchases of held-to-maturity investments of $128.4 million, partially offset by redemptions of held-to-maturity investments of $52.2 million. Other investing activities include the purchase of software and property and equipment.
Our investment policies are designed to provide liquidity, preserve capital and maximize total return on invested assets. As of March 31, 2002, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of fixed-income securities. The average maturity is under eleven months. We utilize investment vehicles such as municipal bonds, commercial paper, securities of U.S. government backed agencies, and U.S. Treasury instruments. The states in which we operate prescribe the types of instruments in which our subsidiaries may invest their cash. The average portfolio yield as of March 31, 2002 was approximately 2.34% compared to 6.07% as of March 31, 2001.
Effective January 1, 2002, we purchased certain assets of MethodistCare, Inc.’s (MethodistCare) Houston, Texas Medicaid line of business for approximately $1.6 million. The assets purchased consisted of MethodistCare’s rights to provide managed care services to its Medicaid members.
On March 26, 2002, we entered into an agreement to purchase Capital Community Health Plan’s (CCHP) Washington, D.C. Medicaid line of business. The assets to be purchased consist of CCHP’s rights to provide managed care services to its Medicaid members. Subject to regulatory approval, the acquisition is expected to be effective July 2002.
Cash used in financing activities was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of changes in bank overdrafts.
Our subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum statutory capital requirements prescribed by various jurisdictions, including the departments of insurance in each of the states in which we operate. As of March 31, 2002, our subsidiaries were in compliance with all minimum statutory capital requirements. We believe that we will continue to be in compliance with these requirements at least through the end of this year.
We believe that internally generated funds and the proceeds from the initial public offering will be sufficient to support continuing operations, capital expenditures and our growth strategy for at least the next 12 months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS No. 142), was issued which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested annually for impairment. We have adopted SFAS No. 142 and have determined that our goodwill and other intangible assets are not impaired.
Regulatory Capital and Dividend Restrictions
Our operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Health Maintenance Organizations, or HMOs and one managed care organization, or MCO. HMOs and MCOs are subject to state regulations that, among other things, may require the maintenance of minimum levels of statutory capital, as defined by each state, and restrict the timing, payment and amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to their stockholders.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has adopted rules which, to the extent that they are implemented by the states, will set new minimum capitalization requirements for insurance companies, HMOs and other entities bearing risk for healthcare coverage. The requirements take the form of risk-based
12
capital rules. The change in rules for insurance companies became effective as of December 31, 1998. The new HMO rules, which may vary from state to state, are currently being considered for adoption. Illinois and Texas adopted various forms of the rules as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Maryland adopted risk-based capital rules for MCOs as of December 31, 2001. However, Maryland exempted all MCOs from the rules for the year ended December 31, 2001. New Jersey has not yet adopted risk-based capital. The NAIC’s HMO rules, if adopted by other states in their proposed form, may increase the minimum capital required for our subsidiaries.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2002, we had short-term investments of $90.4 million and long-term investments of $103.8 million. These investments consist of highly liquid investments with maturities between three and twenty-four months. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market rates increase. We have the ability and intent to hold these investments to maturity, and as a result, we would not expect the value of these investments to decline significantly as a result of a sudden change in market interest rates. Declines in interest rates over time may reduce our investment income.
