The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of AMERIGROUP Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Company”), are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2008 and operating results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The December 31, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 contained in our Annual Report onForm 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2008. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2008.
Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Potential common stock equivalents representing 777,802 and 971,883 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because of the net loss for the period. Including such shares would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, potential common stock equivalents representing 2,636,283 and 2,018,840 shares with a weighted-average exercise price of $35.72 and $37.32 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Potential common stock equivalents representing 2,112,736 and 2,044,090 shares with a weighted-average exercise price of $37.49 and $37.79 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
The Company’s 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2012 (See Note 6) issued effective March 28, 2007 in the aggregate principal amount of $260,000 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because of the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Including the securities would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, those securities were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the conversion price of $42.53 was greater than the average market price of shares of the Company’s common stock for the periods presented; therefore, to include the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes would have been anti-dilutive. The Company’s warrants to purchase shares of its common stock sold on March 28, 2007 and April 9, 2007 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because of the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Including the securities would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, those securities were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the warrants’ exercise price of $53.77 was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares for the periods presented; therefore, to include the warrants would have been anti-dilutive.

| 3. | Recent Accounting Standards |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“FASB Statement No. 157”). FASB Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157 as of January 1, 2008, for financial instruments. Although the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 did not materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, the Company is now required to provide additional disclosures as part of its financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB14-a,Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).The FSP requires the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount will be amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is applied retrospectively to prior periods. This FSP will change the accounting treatment for our $260,000 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2012, which were issued effective March 28, 2007. The impact of this new accounting treatment will be significant to our results of operations and will result in an increase to non-cash interest expense beginning in fiscal year 2009 for financial statements covering past and future periods. We estimate that our earnings per diluted share could decrease by approximately $0.11 to $0.12 annually as a result of the adoption of this FSP.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“FASB Statement No. 141(R)”). FASB Statement No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer determines and recognizes in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. FASB Statement No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FASB Statement No. 141(R) is effective for any transaction occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008; therefore, it will have no impact on our current results of operations and financial condition; however, future acquisitions will be accounted for under this guidance.
| | |
| 4. | Fair Value Measurements |
As of June 30, 2008, we held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We have invested in auction rate securities, which are classified as available-for-sale securities and reflected at fair value. However, the auction events for these securities failed during the first quarter of 2008 and have not resumed. Therefore, the fair values of these securities are estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis or other type of valuation model as of June 30, 2008. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateral underlying the security, the creditworthiness of the issuer, the timing of the expected future cash flows, including the final maturity, and an assumption of when the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable and relevant market data which is limited at this time.
We have recorded an unrealized loss of $3,527 and $4,517, or $2,241 and $2,854 net of the related income tax effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, to accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of the temporary declines in fair value for auction rate securities. The auction rate securities held by us at June 30, 2008, totaling $87,883, were in securities issued by student loan corporations which are municipalities of various U.S. state governments. The majority of the student loans backing these securities fall under the Federal Family Education Loan program which is supported and guaranteed by the United States Department of Education. Because there is no assurance that auctions for these securities will be successful in the near term, as of June 30, 2008, $83,883 of auction rates securities are classified as long-term investments. As of June 30, 2008, we continue to earn interest at rates above market on our auction rate portfolio. Any future fluctuation in the fair value related to these securities that we deem to be temporary, including any recoveries of previous write-downs, would be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. If we determine that any future valuation adjustment was other than temporary, we will record a charge to earnings as appropriate.
The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 157 at June 30, 2008, were as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Based on market conditions, we changed our valuation methodology for auction rate securities to a discounted cash flow analysis or other type of valuation model during the first quarter of 2008. Accordingly, these securities changed from Level 1 to Level 3 within FASB Statement No. 157’s hierarchy since our initial adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 at January 1, 2008.

On April 22, 2008, AMERIGROUP Tennessee, Inc. was notified that it had not been awarded a contract to provide full-risk managed care services to TennCare recipients in West Tennessee. As a result, the existing administrative services only (“ASO”) arrangement for the West Tennessee region will terminate on October 31, 2008 under its current terms with claims run-out and transition activities continuing into 2009. Unamortized identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the November 1, 2007 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MMCC totaling $846 at June 30, 2008 will be amortized over the remaining life of the ASO arrangement and the related goodwill acquired of $8,044, net of a purchase price adjustment of $1,500 for early termination of the ASO contract, was written-off during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Additional costs to discontinue operations in West Tennessee are not expected to be material.
On March 10, 2008, AMERIGROUP Maryland, Inc. d/b/a AMERIGROUP Community Care of the District of Columbia (“AMERIGROUP DC”), was notified that it was one of four successful bidders in the reprocurement of the District of Columbia’s Medicaid managed care business for the contract period beginning May 1, 2008. On April 2, 2008, AMERIGROUP DC elected not to participate in the District’s new contract due to premium rate and programmatic concerns. AMERIGROUP DC’s contract with the District of Columbia, as amended, terminated on June 30, 2008. As a result of discontinuing operations in the DC market, the Company has written-off $2,264 in acquired goodwill. Additional costs recorded and to be recorded to discontinue operations are not expected to be material.
Credit Agreement
As of June 30, 2008, we had $102,239 outstanding under the senior secured synthetic letter of credit facility of our Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement terminates on March 15, 2012. As of June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings, but have caused to be issued irrevocable letters of credit in the aggregate face amount of $17,366 under the senior secured revolving credit facility of our Credit Agreement.
The borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at our option at a percentage, per annum, equal to the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.0% or the base rate plus 1.0%. We are required to make payments of interest in arrears on each interest payment date (to be determined depending on interest period elections made by the
10
AMERIGROUPCorporation And Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Company) and at maturity of the loans, including final maturity thereof. The applicable interest rate was 4.94% at June 30, 2008.
The Credit Agreement includes customary covenants and events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, the Credit Agreement may be terminated and all amounts owing there under may become immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement also includes the following financial covenants: (i) maximum leverage ratios as of specified periods, (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio and (iii) a minimum statutory net worth ratio.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, PHP Holdings, Inc., including a pledge of the stock of each of our respective wholly-owned managed care subsidiaries, in each case, subject to carve-outs.
Convertible Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2008, we had an outstanding aggregate of $260,000 in principal amount of 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2012 (the “Notes”). In May 2007, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement onForm S-3 with the SEC covering the resale of the Notes and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of March 28, 2007 (the “Indenture”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior debt and senior to all of our subordinated debt. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries and to any existing and future secured indebtedness, including the obligations under our Credit Agreement. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2007. The Notes mature on May 15, 2012, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with the Indenture.
Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, we purchased convertible note hedges covering, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, 6,112,964 shares of our common stock. The convertible note hedges allow us to receive shares of our common stockand/or cash equal to the amounts of common stockand/or cash related to the excess conversion value that we would pay to the holders of the Notes upon conversion. These convertible note hedges will terminate at the earlier of the maturity dates of the Notes or the first day on which none of the Notes remain outstanding due to conversion or otherwise.
The convertible note hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the convertible note hedges, at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the convertible note hedges, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes and is subject to certain customary adjustments. If, however, the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants (discussed below) when such warrants are exercised, we will be required to issue common stock. Both the convertible note hedges and warrants provide for net-share settlement at the time of any exercise for the amount that the market value of our common stock exceeds the applicable strike price.
Also concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, we sold warrants to acquire 6,112,964 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $53.77 per share. If the average price of our common stock during a defined period ending on or about the settlement date exceeds the exercise price of the warrants, the warrants will be settled, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock.
The convertible note hedges and warrants are separate transactions which will not affect holders’ rights under the Notes.

| 7. | Share Repurchase Program |
Shares purchased by the Company and placed in treasury are valued at cost. Subsequent sales of treasury stock at amounts in excess of their cost, if any, will be credited to additional paid-in capital.
11
AMERIGROUPCorporation And Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Pursuant to the Company’s existing share repurchase program, we repurchased 600,000 and 700,200 shares of our common stock and placed them into treasury during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, for a total cost of $15,671 and $19,260, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
Qui Tam
On July 22, 2008, we announced that we had reached an agreement in principle with the United States of America acting through the United States Department of Justice and on behalf of the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (the “OIG”), the State of Illinois acting through the Office of the Illinois Attorney General, and Cleveland A. Tyson (the “Relator”) to settle thequi tamaction styled as United States of America and the State of Illinois, ex rel. Cleveland A. Tyson v. AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Court”), CaseNo. 02-C-6074 (the “Qui Tam Litigation”) for a cash payment of $225,000 (the “Settlement Payment”), without any admission of wrongdoing by us or our subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition to the Settlement Payment, we will pay $9,205 to the Relator’s counsel for legal fees. As a result, we recorded a one-time expense in the amount of $234,205 for the three and six months ending June 30, 2008 in connection with the settlement. Net of the related tax benefit, earnings per diluted share was reduced by $3.76 and $3.75, respectively, as a result of this settlement.
The settlement is subject to the negotiation of certain non-financial terms and execution of a definitive settlement agreement by the parties, and there can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately reach a final settlement or a final settlement on the terms described above. In connection with the settlement, we expect to enter into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the OIG.
TheQui TamLitigation, filed in 2002 by the Relator, a former employee of our former Illinois subsidiary, alleged that AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc. submitted false claims under the Medicaid program by maintaining a scheme to discourage or avoid the enrollment into the health plan of pregnant women and other recipients with special needs. Subsequently, the State of Illinois and the United States of America intervened and the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add AMERIGROUP Corporation as a party. On October 30, 2006, a jury returned a verdict against us and AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc. in the amount of $48,000, which under applicable law would be trebled to $144,000, plus penalties, and attorney’s fees, costs and expenses. The jury also found that there were 18,130 false claims. The statutory penalties allowable under the False Claims Act range between $5.5 and $11.0 per false claim. The statutory penalties allowable under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act, 740 ILC 175/3, range between $5.0 and $10.0 per false claim. On March 13, 2007, the Court entered a judgment against AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., and AMERIGROUP Corporation in the amount of approximately $334,000, which included $144,000 of damages and approximately $190,000 in false claim penalties. Following entry of the judgment, we posted the necessary irrevocable letter of credit to stay the enforcement of the judgment pending appeal. We filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and the appeal was fully briefed by the parties. While the appeal was pending, the parties engaged in voluntary mediation and reached the settlement agreement in principle described above.
As a result of theQui TamLitigation, it is possible that state or federal governments will subject us to greater regulatory scrutiny, investigation, action, or litigation. We have proactively been in contact with all of the insurance and Medicaid regulators in the states in which we operate, including the OIG. As discussed above, we have reached an agreement in principle with the OIG to settle certain potential claims or actions by the OIG in connection with the practices at issue in theQui TamLitigation. In connection with our discussions with the OIG, we entered into a tolling agreement with the OIG which preserves the rights that the OIG had as of October 30, 2006. Following execution of the definitive settlement agreement and corporate integrity agreement, we will seek to have the tolling agreement terminated.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
In some circumstances, state or federal governments may move to exclude a company from contracts as a result of a civil verdict under the False Claims Act. We are unable to predict at this time what, if any, further action any state or federal regulators may take. Exclusion is a discretionary step which we believe will not be commenced. Further, prior to any administrative action or exclusion taking effect, we believe we would have an opportunity to advocate our position. While the circumstances of this case do not appear to warrant such action and we expect the definitive settlement agreements discussed above to limit the ability of the federal government or the state of Illinois to exclude or take certain other administrative actions against us, exclusion from doing business with the federal or any state governments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
It is also possible that plaintiffs in other states could bring similar litigation against us. While we believe that the practices at issue in theQui TamLitigation have not occurred outside of the operations of our former Illinois subsidiary, AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., a verdict in favor of a plaintiff in similar litigation in another state could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
District of Columbia Litigation
On March 28, 2008, the District of Columbia filed a civil complaint in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia against AMERIGROUP DC. AMERIGROUP DC is a licensed managed care organization that had contracted with the District of Columbia’s Department of Health’s Medical Assistance Administration (“MAA”) to provide Medicaid managed care services in the District of Columbia. The complaint alleged that in 2006, AMERIGROUP DC submitted a report to MAA in which it misclassified or improperly included certain administrative costs by reporting (i) the administrative portion of pharmaceutical costs as healthcare costs; (ii) certain medical administrative costs as healthcare costs; and (iii) certain administrative fees paid to the Company which the complaint alleged were not directly related to the provision of approved healthcare services. The complaint asserted a single count under the District of Columbia Procurement Reform Act, D.C. Official CodeSection 2-308.14 (2001) (the “DC Act”).
The DC Act provides, in pertinent part, that any person who knowingly, makes, uses or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false claim paid or approved by the District shall be liable to the District for three times the amount of damages which the District sustains because of the acts alleged and for the costs of a civil action brought to recover penalties or damages, and may be liable to the District for a civil penalty of not less than $5 and not more than $10 for each false claim made.
The complaint did not seek damages, but requested the imposition of a penalty of $10 for each false claim or statement allegedly made by AMERIGROUP DC.
On April 21, 2008, AMERIGROUP DC filed a motion in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia to dismiss the action by the District of Columbia for failure to state a claim. The Superior Court denied the motion to dismiss. Following the denial of the motion to dismiss, the parties met to discuss a settlement and agreed that the complaint should be dismissed in an effort to facilitate settlement discussions. Accordingly, on July 22, 2008, the District of Columbia, with our consent, filed a motion in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia requesting that the complaint be dismissed without prejudice. The Superior Court granted the motion on July 24, 2008.
Given the preliminary stage of this matter, we are unable to assess the probable outcome or its financial impact, if any.
Other Litigation
Additionally, we are involved in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings
13
AMERIGROUPCorporation And Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Other Contingencies
Risk Sharing Receivable
In the Fort Worth service area, AMERIGROUP Texas, Inc. had an exclusive risk-sharing arrangement with Cook Children’s Health Care Network (“CCHCN”) and Cook Children’s Physician Network (“CCPN”), which includes Cook Children’s Medical Center (“CCMC”) that was terminated as of August 31, 2005. Under the risk-sharing arrangement the parties have an obligation to perform annual reconciliations and settlements of the risk pool for each contract year. We have recorded a receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2005 contract year, in the amount of $10,600, as of June 30, 2008. The contract with CCHCN prescribes reconciliation procedures which have been completed. CCHCN subsequently engaged external auditors to review all medical claim payments made for the 2005 contract year and the preliminary results challenged payments made on certain claims. The parties have agreed to participate in voluntary non-binding mediation for the purpose of resolving this matter. Although we continue to believe this to be a valid receivable, if we are unable to resolve this matter resulting in payment in full to us, our results of operations may be adversely affected, and we may incur significant costs in our efforts to reach a final resolution of this matter.

Overview
We are a multi-state managed healthcare company focused on serving people who receive healthcare benefits through publicly sponsored programs, including Medicaid, State Children’s Health Insurance Program (“SCHIP”), FamilyCare, and Medicare Advantage programs. We believe that we are better qualified and positioned than many of our competitors to meet the unique needs of our members and government partners because of our focus, medical management programs and community-based education and outreach programs. We design our programs to address the particular needs of our members, for whom we facilitate access to healthcare benefits pursuant to agreements with the applicable regulatory authority. We combine medical, social and behavioral health services to help our members obtain quality healthcare in an efficient manner. Our success in establishing and maintaining strong relationships with our government partners, providers and members has enabled us to obtain new contracts and to establish and maintain a leading market position in many of the markets we serve.
Summary highlights of our second quarter of 2008 include:
| | |
| • | Membership increased 12.6 percent to approximately 1,720,000 from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008; |
|
| • | Total revenues of $1.1 billion, a 12.5 percent increase over the second quarter of 2007; |
|
| • | Health benefits ratio (“HBR”) of 82.0 percent of premium revenues; |
|
| • | Selling, general and administrative expense ratio of 13.1% of total revenues; |
|
| • | Completed the exit from the District of Columbia; |
|
| • | Finalized a contract to begin serving individuals in New Mexico’s new Coordinated Long-Term Services program; and |
|
| • | Recorded a one-time charge of $234.2 million or $199.2 million net of the related tax benefit for settlement of theQui TamLitigation as discussed below. |
Revenue Growth
During the second quarter of 2008, our premium revenue was $1,111.2 million, an increase of $125.2 million or 12.7 percent compared to the second quarter of 2007. This increase is due to premium rate and yield increases of approximately $105.3 million and the remainder is due to membership growth in existing markets and new products. The premium rate increases in the second quarter of 2008 include a one-time premium adjustment of $47.3 million in Tennessee for the period April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008 to cover home health and private duty nursing services, which had inflated rapidly prior to the start of the new managed care program and were not fully accounted for in the State’s original premium rates.
Investment income and other increased by $0.7 million to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in investment income and other was primarily as a result of an increase in other income from our acquisition of Memphis Managed Care Corporation (“MMCC”) which serves Medicaid members in West Tennessee under an administrative services only (“ASO”) contract. Revenues from this arrangement totaled approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. As discussed below, this arrangement will terminate October 31, 2008. Investment income decreased $5.2 million as a result of a lower yield on our fixed income securities portfolio due to the ongoing reinvestment of maturing fixed income securities at current market rates, which are lower than the yields on the maturing securities.
Our investment portfolio is comprised of fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments held as collateral, which generated investment income totaling $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The performance of our portfolio is interest rate driven, consequently, volatility in interest rates, such as the actions by the Federal Reserve, affects our returns on, and the market value of our portfolio. This and any future reductions in the Federal Funds rate or other disruptions in the credit markets could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Expenses relating to health benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $92.7 million, or 11.3%, to $911.5 million from $818.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our HBR was 82.0% for
16
the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus 83.1% in the same period of the prior year. This decrease in HBR for the three months ended June 30, 2008 over the HBR for the three months ended June 30, 2007, is primarily a result of improvement in Tennessee due to a one-time premium adjustment of $47.3 million for the prior contract period. This one-time premium adjustment in Tennessee was partially offset by higher medical costs in that market specifically related to high utilization of the home health and private duty nursing benefit for the current period as well as unfavorable reserve development related to prior periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were 13.1% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 12.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our SG&A ratio increased in the current period primarily as a result of recording a goodwill impairment charge and related exit costs totaling $9.7 million related to the termination of our contract in the District of Columbia and an impairment charge for discontinuing operations in West Tennessee. Additionally, total SG&A increased $26.7 million or 22.0% to $148.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $121.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of these impairment and exit costs and: (1) an increase in experience rebate expense as a result of favorable performance in Texas; and (2) an increase in salaries and benefits due to an increase in the number of associates and annual merit increases.
Litigation Settlement
On July 22, 2008, we announced that we had reached an agreement in principle to settle theQui TamLitigation for a cash payment of $225.0 million without any admission of wrongdoing by us or our subsidiaries or affiliates. We will also pay approximately $9.2 million to the Relator for legal fees. As a result, we recorded a one-time expense in the amount $234.2 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2008 in connection with the settlement. Net of the related tax benefit, earnings per diluted share was reduced by $3.76 and $3.75, respectively, as a result of this settlement.
The settlement is subject to the negotiation of certain non-financial terms and execution of a definitive settlement agreement by the parties, and there can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately reach a final settlement or a final settlement on the terms described above. In connection with the settlement, we expect to enter into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the OIG. For more information on theQui TamLitigation see Part II. Other Information, Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
Market Updates
During the second quarter of 2008, we were notified that we were a successful bidder in the request for proposal for expanded markets and reprocurement of our existing markets for the Florida Healthy Kids program. This award will expand our role from eight to thirteen counties in offering health insurance to many of Florida’s uninsured children effective October 1, 2008.
During the third quarter of 2008, we finalized the terms of a contract to begin serving individuals in New Mexico’s new Coordinated Long-Term Services (CLTS) program that is expected to be effective August 1, 2008.
Contingencies
Risk Sharing Receivable
In the Fort Worth service area, AMERIGROUP Texas, Inc. had an exclusive risk-sharing arrangement with Cook Children’s Health Care Network (“CCHCN”) and Cook Children’s Physician Network (“CCPN”), which includes Cook Children’s Medical Center (“CCMC”) that was terminated as of August 31, 2005. Under the risk- sharing arrangement the parties have an obligation to perform annual reconciliations and settlements of the risk pool for each contract year. We have recorded a receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2005 contract year, in the amount of $10.6 million, as of June 30, 2008. The contract with CCHCN prescribes reconciliation procedures which have been completed. CCHCN subsequently engaged external auditors to review all medical claim payments made for the 2005 contract year and the preliminary results challenged payments made on certain claims. The parties have agreed to participate in voluntary non-binding mediation for the purpose of resolving this matter. Although we continue to believe this to be a valid receivable, if we are unable to resolve this matter resulting in payment in full to us, our results of operations may be adversely affected, and we may incur significant costs in our efforts to reach a final resolution of this matter.

Revenues
Premium revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $125.2 million, or 12.7%, over the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, premium revenue increased $371.3 million, or 20.6%, over the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in both periods was primarily due to our entry into the Middle Tennessee market in April 2007, the one-time premium adjustment of $47.3 million in Tennessee during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and premium rate increases in our Texas markets. Additionally, our remaining existing products and markets contributed further to revenue growth from membership growth, premium rate increases and yield increases resulting from changes in membership mix. Total membership increased 12.6% to approximately 1,720,000 as of June 30, 2008 from approximately 1,527,000 as of June 30, 2007.
Investment income and other increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 over the three months ended June 30, 2007, and increased $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 over the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in investment income and other was primarily due to our acquisition of MMCC which serves Medicaid members in West Tennessee under an ASO arrangement. Revenues from this arrangement totaled approximately $5.7 million and $11.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Additionally, investment income increased as a result of an increase in the average balance of invested assets over the prior year. The increase in the average invested balances was largely driven by the establishment of restricted assets held as collateral in 2007.
Membership
The following table sets forth the approximate number of our members we served in each state as of June 30, 2008 and 2007. Because we receive two premiums for members that are in both the Medicare Advantage and Medicaid products, these members have been counted twice in the states where we operate Medicare Advantage plans. We offered Medicare Advantage products in Maryland and Texas in 2007. Beginning in 2008, we began operating Medicare Advantage products in Tennessee, Florida, New York, New Jersey and New Mexico(1).

As of June 30, 2008, we served approximately 1,720,000 members, reflecting an increase of approximately 193,000 members compared to June 30, 2007. The increase is primarily a result of the acquisition of MMCC on November 1, 2007 that increased our Tennessee membership by approximately 166,000 members as of June 30, 2008. Membership at June 30, 2008, also reflects a decrease in our Georgia markets as a result of an overall decrease in eligible members in the state offset by growth in our Florida and Maryland markets.
The following table sets forth the approximate number of our members in each of our products as of June 30, 2008 and 2007. Because we receive two premiums for members that are in both the Medicare Advantage and Medicaid product, these members have been counted in each product.

Health benefits expenses
Expenses relating to health benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $92.7 million, or 11.3%, over the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our HBR was 82.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus 83.1% in the same period of the prior year. This decrease in HBR for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from the HBR for the three months ended June 30, 2007, is primarily a result of improvement in our Tennessee market. The HBR for the second quarter of 2008 benefited from a one-time premium adjustment in Tennessee of $47.3 million for the prior contract period received in the current quarter and a current quarter premium increase. These premium increases were partially offset by higher medical costs in Tennessee specifically related to the high utilization of the home health and private duty nursing benefit for the current period as well as unfavorable reserve development in the market.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, expenses related to health benefits increased $284.2 million, or 18.9%, over the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, our HBR was 82.1% and 83.2%, respectively. The decrease in HBR for the six months ended June 30, 2008 over that for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is a result of favorable premium adjustments in Tennessee and Georgia received in 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $26.7 million, or 22.0%, over the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, SG&A increased $65.1 million, or 28.6%, over the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Our SG&A to total revenues ratio was 13.1% and 12.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our SG&A to total revenues ratio was 13.2% and 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Our SG&A ratio increased in both periods primarily as a result of recording the goodwill impairment and exit costs of $9.7 million related to the termination of our contract in the District of Columbia and an impairment charge for discontinuing operations in West Tennessee. Additionally, total SG&A increased as a result of these impairment and exit costs and as a result of: (1) an increase in experience rebate expense as a result of favorable performance in
20
Texas and (2) an increase in salaries and benefits due to an increase in the number of associates and annual merit increases.
Premium taxes were $22.1 million and $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and $44.1 million and $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
Litigation Settlement
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a one-time expense in the amount of $234.2 million in connection with the settlement of theQui TamLitigation. For more information on theQui Tam Litigation see Part II. Other Information, Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1.4 million or 18.7% from $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1.8 million or 11.4% from $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in both periods is a result of an increase in depreciable assets.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $2.9 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and $6.4 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 is a result of fluctuating interest rates for borrowings under our Credit Agreement in addition to a reduction in the outstanding balance as a result of scheduled principal payments. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 is a result of borrowings under our Credit Agreement and the issuance of the 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2012 which were issued effective on March 28, 2007.
Provision for income taxes
Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $13.4 million with an effective tax rate of 7.6% compared to $19.4 million income tax expense with an effective tax rate of 37.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $8.3 million and $32.1 million, respectively with an effective tax rate of 6.9% and 37.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is lower than the prior period because only part of theQui Tamsettlement is deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated income tax benefit related to the non-recurringQui Tamsettlement charge was $35.0 million.
Net (loss) income
Net (loss) income decreased to a loss of $162.5 million and $127.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, from income of $32.8 million and $54.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The decreases are a result of the one-time expense recorded in connection with the settlement of theQui TamLitigation equal to $234.2 million or $199.2 million, net of the related tax benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our cash, investments and capital structure so we are able to meet the short- and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining financial flexibility and liquidity. We forecast, analyze and monitor
21
our cash flows to enable prudent investment management and financing within the confines of our financial strategy.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments, cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $537.5 million, short and long-term investments of $559.3 million and restricted investments on deposit for licensure of $91.7 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments which are unrestricted and unregulated totaled $180.1 million at June 30, 2008.
Credit Agreement
As of June 30, 2008, we had $102.2 million outstanding under the senior secured synthetic letter of credit facility of our Credit Agreement. These funds are held in restricted investments as partial collateral for an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $351.3 million, issued to the Clerk of Court for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The irrevocable letter of credit was provided to the court for the purpose of staying the enforcement of the judgment in theQui TamLitigation pending resolution of our appeal. As described in the Overview section of Management’s Discussion & Analysis and further discussed in Part II Item 1.Legal Proceedings, we have reached an agreement in principle to settle theQui TamLitigation and, upon finalization of the settlement, will cause $225.0 million to be paid under the letter of credit to the United States of America and the State of Illinois. Additionally we will pay $9.2 million to the Relator’s counsel for legal fees from our existing unrestricted cash balances. As a result of these transactions, the restricted funds held as collateral will be released and our unrestricted cash balance will increase by approximately $117.1 million and be available for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings but have caused to be issued irrevocable letters of credit in the aggregate face amount of $17.4 million under the senior secured revolving credit facility of our Credit Agreement
The borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at our option at a percentage, per annum, equal to the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.0% or the base rate plus 1.0%. We are required to make payments of interest in arrears on each interest payment date (to be determined depending on interest period elections made by the Company) and at maturity of the loans, including final maturity thereof. The applicable interest rate was 4.94% at June 30, 2008.
The Credit Agreement includes customary covenants and events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, the Credit Agreement may be terminated and all amounts owing there under may become immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement also includes the following financial covenants: (i) maximum leverage ratios as of specified periods, (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio and (iii) a minimum statutory net worth ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, PHP Holdings, Inc., including a pledge of the stock of each of our respective wholly-owned managed care subsidiaries, in each case, subject to carve-outs.
Convertible Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2008, we had $260.0 million outstanding of our 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2012 (the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior debt and senior to all of our subordinated debt. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries and to any existing and future secured indebtedness, including the obligations under our Credit Agreement. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2007. The Notes mature on May 15, 2012, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with an Indenture dated March 27, 2007 which governs the Notes.
Except as provided in the Indenture upon conversion of the Notes, we will pay cash up to the principal amount of the Notes converted. With respect to any conversion value in excess of the principal amount of the Notes converted, we have the option to settle the excess with cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.
22
Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, we purchased convertible note hedges covering, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, 6,112,964 shares of our common stock. The convertible note hedges allow us to receive shares of our common stockand/or cash equal to the amounts of common stockand/or cash related to the excess conversion value that we would pay to the holders of the Notes upon conversion. These convertible note hedges will terminate at the earlier of the maturity dates of the Notes or the first day on which none of the Notes remain outstanding due to conversion or otherwise.
The convertible note hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the convertible note hedges, at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the convertible note hedges, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes and is subject to certain customary adjustments. If, however, the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants (discussed below) when such warrants are exercised, we will be required to issue common stock. Also concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, we sold warrants to acquire 6,112,964 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $53.77 per share. If the average price of our common stock during a defined period ending on or about the settlement date exceeds the exercise price of the warrants, the warrants will be settled, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock. Both the convertible note hedges and warrants provide for net-share settlement at the time of any exercise for the amount that the market value of our common stock exceeds the applicable strike price. The convertible note hedges and warrants are separate transactions which will not affect holders’ rights under the Notes.
Shelf Registration
On May 23, 2005, our shelf registration statement was declared effective with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $400.0 million of securities including common stock, preferred stock and debt securities. No securities have been issued under the shelf registration. Under this shelf registration, we may publicly offer such registered securities from time-to-time at prices and terms to be determined at the time of the offering.
Share Repurchase Program
Pursuant to the Company’s existing share repurchase program, we repurchased 600,000 and 700,200 shares of our common stock and placed them into treasury during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, for a total cost of $15.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively. The Company’s share repurchase program has approximately 1.3 million shares remaining under the limit authorized to be repurchased, subject to limits imposed by our Credit Agreement.
Cash and Investments
Cash provided by operating activities was $95.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $167.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cash flows of $71.6 million was primarily a result of $132.0 million in cash flows used by working capital changes, offset in part by cash flows generated by an increase in net income prior to the litigation settlement accrual, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $64.8 million. Cash used in operating activities for working capital changes was $35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to cash provided by operating activities for working capital changes of $96.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in cash used primarily resulted from the increase in premiums receivable of $28.8 million due to the accrual for the one-time premium adjustment of $47.3 million from Tennessee and decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $31.5 million due to timing of payments and accruals.
Cash used in investing activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $369.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This change in cash used in investing activities results primarily from net purchases of restricted investments held as collateral of $351.3 million to fund the irrevocable letter of credit required to stay the execution of the judgment in theQui TamLitigation and net purchases of hedge and warrant instruments of $27.0 million in 2007 with no corresponding activity in the current year. We currently anticipate total capital expenditures for 2008 to be between approximately $43.0 million to $45.0 million related to technological infrastructure development and the expansion of our medical management system.

Our investment policies are designed to preserve capital, provide liquidity and maximize total return on invested assets. As of June 30, 2008, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of fixed-income securities. The weighted-average maturity is approximately nine months excluding our auction rate securities which are discussed below. We utilize investment vehicles such as money market funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal bonds, debt securities of government sponsored entities, corporate bonds, auction rate securities and U.S. Treasury instruments. The states in which we operate prescribe the types of instruments in which our subsidiaries may invest their funds. The weighted-average taxable equivalent yield on consolidated investments as of June 30, 2008 was approximately 3.15%.
As discussed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. We have determined that we utilize unobservable (Level 3) inputs in determining the fair value of certain auction rate securities totaling $83.9 million at June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2008, $87.9 million of our investments were comprised of securities issued by student loan corporations which are municipalities of various U.S. state governments. The majority of the student loans backing these securities fall under the Federal Family Education Loan program which is supported and guaranteed by the United States Department of Education. Liquidity for these auction rate securities is typically provided by an auction process which allows holders to sell their notes and resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually every 28 or 35 days. Starting in mid-February, auctions have failed on these auction rate securities and there is no assurance that auctions for these securities will succeed in the future. An auction failure means that the parties wishing to sell their securities could not be matched with an adequate volume of buyers. In the event that there is a failed auction the indenture governing the security requires the issuer to pay interest at a contractually defined rate that is generally above market rates for other types of similar short-term instruments. The securities for which auctions have failed will continue to accrue interest at the contractual rate and be auctioned every 28 or 35 days until the auction succeeds, the issuer calls the securities, or they mature. Because there is no assurance that auctions for these securities will be successful in the near term, $83.9 million of auction rate securities are classified as long-term investments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2008.
Our auction rate securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reflected at fair value. In prior periods, due to the auction process which took place every28-35 days for most securities, quoted market prices were readily available, which would qualify as Level 1 under FASB Statement No. 157. However, the auction events for these securities failed during early 2008 and have not resumed. Therefore, we have determined the estimated fair values of these securities utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis or other type of valuation model as of June 30, 2008. These analyses consider, among other items, the creditworthiness of the issuer, the timing of the expected future cash flows, including the final maturity, associated with the securities, and an assumption of when the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable and relevant market data which is limited at this time. Due to these events, we reclassified these instruments as Level 3 during 2008 and recorded a temporary unrealized decline in fair value of approximately $4.5 million, with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive loss. We currently believe that this temporary decline in fair value is primarily due to liquidity concerns, because the underlying assets for the majority of these securities are student loans supported and guaranteed by the United States Department of Education. In addition, our holdings of auction rate securities represented less than ten percent of our total cash, cash equivalent, and investment balance at June 30, 2008, which we believe allows us sufficient time for the securities to return to full value. Because we believe that the current decline in fair value is temporary and based primarily on liquidity issues in the credit markets, any difference between our estimate and an estimate that would be arrived at by another party would have no impact on our earnings, since such difference would also be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. We will re-evaluate each of these factors as market conditions change in subsequent periods.
The weighted-average life of our auction rate securities portfolio, based on the final maturity, is approximately 25 years. We currently have the ability to hold our auction rate securities to maturity, if required, or if and when market stability is restored with respect to these investments.
Cash used in financing activities was $42.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $383.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The change in cash
24
related to financing activities was primarily related to net proceeds received from the issuance of Notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $378.5 million in 2007 compared to net repayments of debt of $26.8 million and repurchases of stock of $19.3 million in 2008.
We anticipate cash flow from operating activities will be negative for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the anticipated settlement of the Qui Tam Litigation and associated payments. However, as the settlement has been fully funded through our 2% Convertible Senior Notes, we believe that existing cash and investment balances, internally generated funds and available funds under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to support continuing operations, capital expenditures and our growth strategy for at least 12 months. Our debt-to-total capital ratio at June 30, 2008 was 31.9%. As a result of significant borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the related debt service and issuance of the Notes, our access to additional capital may be limited which could restrict our ability to acquire new businesses or enter new markets and could impact our ability to maintain statutory net worth requirements in the states in which we do business.
Regulatory Capital and Dividend Restrictions
Our operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), one health insuring corporation (“HIC”) and one Prepaid Health Services Plan (“PHSP”). HMOs, HICs and PHSPs are subject to state regulations that, among other things, 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. Additionally, certain state regulatory agencies may require individual regulated entities to maintain statutory capital levels higher than the state regulations. As of June 30, 2008, we believe our subsidiaries are in compliance with all minimum statutory capital requirements. We anticipate the parent company may be required to fund minimum net worth shortfalls for certain of our subsidiaries during the remainder of 2008 using unregulated cash, cash equivalents and investments. We believe that we will continue to be in compliance with these requirements at least through the end of 2008.
Recent Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“FASB Statement No. 157”). FASB Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157 as of January 1, 2008, for financial instruments.
Although the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 did not materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, the Company is now required to provide additional disclosures as part of its financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB14-a,Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).The FSP requires the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount will be amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is applied retrospectively to prior periods. This FSP will change the accounting treatment for our $260.0 million 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2012, which were issued effective March 28, 2007. The impact of this new accounting treatment will be significant to our results of operations and will result in an increase to non-cash interest expense beginning in 2009 for financial
25
statements covering past and future periods. We estimate that our earnings per diluted share could decrease by approximately $0.11 to $0.12 annually as a result of the adoption of this FSP.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“FASB Statement No. 141(R)”). FASB Statement No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer determines and recognizes in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. FASB Statement No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FASB Statement No. 141(R) is effective for any transaction occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008; therefore, it will have no impact on our current results of operations and financial condition; however, future acquisitions will be accounted for under this guidance.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include a certain amount of assets whose fair values are subject to market risk. Due to our significant investment in fixed-maturity investments, interest rate risk represents a market risk factor affecting our consolidated financial position. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in fair values of those instruments. Additionally, fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected by the creditworthiness of the issuers, prepayment options, liquidity of the instrument and other general market conditions.
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, substantially all of our investments were in highly-rated securities which include U.S. Treasury securities, debt securities of government sponsored entities, municipal bonds, commercial paper, auction rate securities, corporate bonds and money market funds. We do not hold any investments classified as trading or derivative financial instruments.
The fair value of the fixed maturity investment portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk — the risk of loss in fair value resulting from changes in prevailing market rates of interest for similar financial instruments. However, we have the ability to hold fixed maturity investments to maturity. We rely on the experience and judgment of senior management to monitor and mitigate the effects of market risk. The allocation among various types of securities is adjusted from time to time based on market conditions, credit conditions, tax policy, fluctuations in interest rates and other factors. In addition, we place the majority of our investments in high-quality, liquid securities and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As of June 30, 2008, an increase of 1% in interest rates on securities with maturities greater than one year would reduce the fair value of our marketable securities portfolio by approximately $4.8 million. Conversely, a reduction of 1% in interest rates on securities with maturities greater than one year would increase the fair value of our marketable securities portfolio by approximately $3.6 million. As of December 31, 2007, an increase of 1% in interest rates on securities with maturities greater than one year would reduce the fair value of our marketable securities portfolio by approximately $4.6 million. Conversely, a reduction of 1% in interest rates on securities with maturities greater than one year would increase the fair value of our marketable securities portfolio by approximately $2.7 million. The above changes in fair value are impacted by securities in our portfolio that have a call provision feature. In a decreasing rate environment, these instruments do not see as significant potential fair value increases as non-callable instruments due to the expectation that the issuer will call the instrument to take advantage of lower rates.
We believe the fair value presentation is more indicative of our market risk because it evaluates an investment based on the individual characteristics of each investment. Consequently, the fair value presentation does not assume that each investment reacts identically based on a 1% change in interest rates.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. During the second quarter of 2008, in connection with our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we concluded there were no changes in our internal control procedures that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Qui Tam
On July 22, 2008, we announced that we had reached an agreement in principle with the United States of America acting through the United States Department of Justice and on behalf of the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (the “OIG”), the State of Illinois acting through the Office of the Illinois Attorney General, and Cleveland A. Tyson (the “Relator”) to settle thequi tamaction styled as United States of America and the State of Illinois, ex rel. Cleveland A. Tyson v. AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Court”), CaseNo. 02-C-6074 (the “Qui Tam Litigation”) for a cash payment of $225.0 million (the “Settlement Payment”), without any admission of wrongdoing by us or our subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition to the Settlement Payment, we will pay approximately $9.2 million to the Relator’s counsel for legal fees. As a result, we recorded a one-time expense in the amount of approximately $234.2 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2008 in connection with the settlement. Net of the related tax effects, earnings per diluted share was reduced by $3.76 and $3.75, respectively, as a result of this settlement.
The settlement is subject to the negotiation of certain non-financial terms and execution of a definitive settlement agreement by the parties, and there can be no assurances that the parties will ultimately reach a final settlement or a final settlement on the terms described above. In connection with the settlement, we expect to enter into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the OIG.
TheQui TamLitigation, filed in 2002 by the Relator, a former employee of our former Illinois subsidiary, alleged that AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc. submitted false claims under the Medicaid program by maintaining a scheme to discourage or avoid the enrollment into the health plan of pregnant women and other recipients with special needs. Subsequently, the State of Illinois and the United States of America intervened and the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add AMERIGROUP Corporation as a party. On October 30, 2006, a jury returned a verdict against us and AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc. in the amount of $48.0 million, which under applicable law would be trebled to $144.0 million, plus penalties, and attorney’s fees, costs and expenses. The jury also found that there were 18,130 false claims. The statutory penalties allowable under the False Claims Act range between $5,500 and $11,000 per false claim. The statutory penalties allowable under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act, 740 ILC 175/3, range between $5,000 and $10,000 per false claim. On March 13, 2007, the Court entered a judgment against AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., and AMERIGROUP Corporation in the amount of approximately $334.0 million, which included $144.0 million of damages and approximately $190.0 million in false claim penalties. Following entry of the judgment, we posted the necessary irrevocable letter of credit to stay the enforcement of the judgment pending appeal. We filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and the appeal was fully briefed by the parties. While the appeal was pending, the parties engaged in voluntary mediation and reached the settlement agreement in principle described above.
As a result of theQui TamLitigation, it is possible that state or federal governments will subject us to greater regulatory scrutiny, investigation, action, or litigation. We have proactively been in contact with all of the insurance and Medicaid regulators in the states in which we operate, including the OIG. As discussed above, we have reached an agreement in principle with the OIG to settle certain potential claims or actions by the OIG in connection with the practices at issue in theQui TamLitigation. In connection with our discussions with the OIG, we entered into a tolling agreement with the OIG which preserves the rights that the OIG had as of October 30, 2006. Following execution of the definitive settlement agreement and corporate integrity agreement, we will seek to have the tolling agreement terminated.
In some circumstances, state or federal governments may move to exclude a company from contracts as a result of a civil verdict under the False Claims Act. We are unable to predict at this time what, if any, further action any state or federal regulators may take. Exclusion is a discretionary step which we believe will not be commenced. Further, prior to any administrative action or exclusion taking effect, we believe we would have an opportunity to advocate our position. While the circumstances of this case do not appear to warrant such action and we expect the definitive settlement agreements discussed above to limit the ability of the federal government or the state of Illinois to exclude or take certain other administrative actions against us, exclusion from doing business with the federal or
28
any state governments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
It is also possible that plaintiffs in other states could bring similar litigation against us. While we believe that the practices at issue in theQui TamLitigation have not occurred outside of the operations of our former Illinois subsidiary, AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc., a verdict in favor of a plaintiff in similar litigation in another state could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
District of Columbia Litigation
On March 28, 2008, the District of Columbia filed a civil complaint in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia against AMERIGROUP Maryland, Inc. d/b/a AMERIGROUP Community Care of the District of Columbia (“AMERIGROUP DC”). AMERIGROUP DC is a licensed managed care organization that had contracted with the District of Columbia’s Department of Health’s Medical Assistance Administration (“MAA”) to provide Medicaid managed care services in the District of Columbia. The complaint alleged that in 2006, AMERIGROUP DC submitted a report to MAA in which it misclassified or improperly included certain administrative costs by reporting (i) the administrative portion of pharmaceutical costs as healthcare costs; (ii) certain medical administrative costs as healthcare costs; and (iii) certain administrative fees paid to the Company which the complaint alleged were not directly related to the provision of approved healthcare services. The complaint asserted a single count under the District of Columbia Procurement Reform Act, D.C. Official CodeSection 2-308.14 (2001) (the “DC Act”).
The DC Act provides, in pertinent part, that any person who knowingly, makes, uses or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false claim paid or approved by the District shall be liable to the District for three times the amount of damages which the District sustains because of the acts alleged and for the costs of a civil action brought to recover penalties or damages, and may be liable to the District for a civil penalty of not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each false claim made.
The complaint did not seek damages, but requested the imposition of a penalty of $10,000 for each false claim or statement allegedly made by AMERIGROUP DC.
On April 21, 2008, AMERIGROUP DC filed a motion in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia to dismiss the action by the District of Columbia for failure to state a claim. The Superior Court denied the motion to dismiss. Following the denial of the motion to dismiss, the parties met to discuss a settlement and agreed that the complaint should be dismissed in an effort to facilitate settlement discussions. Accordingly, on July 22, 2008, the District of Columbia, with our consent, filed a motion in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia requesting that the complaint be dismissed without prejudice. The Superior Court granted the motion on July 24, 2008.
Given the preliminary stage of this matter, we are unable to assess the probable outcome or its financial impact, if any.
Other Litigation
Additionally, we are involved in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain risk factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and you should carefully consider them. The following risk factors were identified or reevaluated by the Company during the second quarter and are a supplement to those risk factors included as part of Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2008 and the Company’s Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2008.
29
An unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential member information could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and profitability.
As part of our normal operations, we collect, process and retain confidential member information. We are subject to various federal and state laws and rules regarding the use and disclosure of confidential member information, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Despite the security measures we have in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and rules, our facilities and systems, and those of our third party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programmingand/or human errors or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential member information, whether by us or a third party, could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and results of operations.

(1) All of the shares purchased during the second quarter of 2008 were purchased as part of the Company’s existing authorized share repurchase program. The share repurchase program provides for the repurchase of up to two million shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations imposed by our Credit Agreement. On February 26, 2008, the Company entered into a trading plan in accordance withRule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, to facilitate repurchases of its common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program (the“Rule 10b5-1 plan”). TheRule 10b5-1 plan became effective on April 28, 2008 and expires on January 10, 2009, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. During the second quarter of 2008 the maximum number of shares to be purchased under theRule 10b5-1 plan was reached and theRule 10b5-1 plan was therefore terminated in accordance with its terms.
