NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Company
Arcadia Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a national provider of home health services and products, medical and non-medical staffing services and specialty pharmacy products and services operating under the service mark Arcadia HealthCare. The Company operates in three reportable business segments: Home Health Care Services and Staffing (“Services”), Home Health Equipment (“HHE”) and Pharmacy. Within the health care markets, the Company has a broad business mix and receives payment from a diverse group of payment sources. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Company conducts its business from approximately 95 facilities located in 21 states. The Company operates pharmacies in Indiana and Minnesota and has customer service centers in Michigan and Indiana.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, the consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 16, 2008.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arcadia Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The earnings of the subsidiaries are included from the dates of acquisition. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the financial statements and accompanying notes.
6
Affiliated Agencies
The Services segment operates independently and through a network of affiliated agencies throughout the United States. These affiliated agencies are independently-owned, owner-managed businesses, which have been contracted by the Company to sell services under the Arcadia name. The arrangements with affiliated agencies are formalized through a standard contractual agreement. The affiliated agencies operate in particular regions and are responsible for recruiting and training field service employees and marketing their services to potential customers within the region. The field service employees are employees of the Company and the related employee costs are included in cost of revenues. The Company maintains the relationship with the customer and the payer and, as such, recognizes the revenue. The affiliated agency’s commission is based on a percentage of gross profit. The Company provides sales and marketing support to the affiliated agencies and develops and maintains policies and procedures related to certain aspects of the affiliate’s business. The contractual agreements require a specific, timed, calculable flow of funds and expenses between the affiliated agencies and the Company. The payments to affiliated agencies are considered a selling expense and are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Statements of Operations. The agreements may be terminated by the affiliate upon advance notice to the Company. The Company may terminate the agreement only under specified conditions. In some circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay the affiliate to acquire the affiliate’s interest in the agreement.
Revenue generated through the affiliate agencies represented approximately 48% and 47% of total revenue from continuing operations during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 46% and 50% during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Contractual Allowances
The Company reviews its accounts receivable balances on a periodic basis. Accounts receivable have been reduced by the reserves for estimated contractual allowances and doubtful accounts as described below.
The provision for contractual allowances is the difference between the amount billed and the amount expected to be paid by the applicable third-party payer. The Company records the provision for contractual adjustments based on a percentage of accounts receivable using historical data. Due to the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements, the amount billed, which represents the estimated net realizable amount when the services are provided, is sometimes adjusted at the time of cash remittance or claim denial.
The provision for doubtful accounts is primarily based on historical analysis of the Company’s records. The analysis is based on patient and institutional client payment histories, the aging of the accounts receivable, and specific review of patient and institutional client records. As actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Any unanticipated change in customers’ creditworthiness or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts due from customers could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all reasonable attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The majority of the Company’s property and equipment includes equipment held for rental to patients in the home for which the related depreciation expense is included in cost of revenue. Depreciation expense included in cost of revenues from continuing operations was $683,000 and $489,000 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.6 million for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
7
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company has acquired several businesses resulting in the recording of intangible assets, including goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and between annual tests in certain circumstances, by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value.
Acquired intangible assets are amortized using the economic benefit method when reliable information regarding future cash flows is available and the straight-line method when this information is unavailable. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | |
Trade name | | 30 years |
Customers and referral source relationships (depending on the type of business purchased) | | 3 and 25 years |
Acquired technology | | 2 and 3 years |
Non-competition agreements (length of agreement) | | 5 years |
Revenue Recognition and Concentration of Credit Risk
Revenues for services are recorded in the period the services are rendered. Revenues for products are recorded in the period delivered based on rental or sales prices established with the client or its insurer prior to delivery.
Net patient service revenues are recorded at net realizable amounts estimated to be paid by the customers and third-party payers. A contractual adjustment is recorded as a reduction to net patient services revenues and consists of (a) the difference between the payer’s allowable amount and the customary billing rate; and (b) services for which payment is denied by governmental or third-party payers or otherwise deemed non-billable.
Revenues recognized under arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental-funded organizations were approximately 25% and 20% for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 24% and 27% during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No customer represents more than 10% of the Company’s revenues for the periods presented.
Business Combinations and Valuation of Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”). SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and includes specific criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. Results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition. Net assets of the acquired company are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, or other contracts to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. Shares held in escrow that are contingently issuable upon a future outcome are not included in earnings per share until they are released. Outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock, warrants to acquire common shares and escrowed shares have not been considered in the computation of dilutive losses per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive for all applicable periods shown. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were approximately 27,657,000 and 29,900,000 potentially dilutive shares outstanding, respectively.
8
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective April 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which replaced SFAS No. 123 and superseded APB 25, using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method, fair value accounting and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R are applied to stock-based awards granted or modified subsequent to the date of adoption. In addition, for awards granted prior to the effective date, the unvested portion of the awards are recognized in periods subsequent to the effective date based on the grant date fair value determined for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123.
The expected life of employee stock options represents the calculation using the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options applied consistently to all “plain vanilla” options, consistent with the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) SAB 107. In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SAB110 to amend the SEC’s views discussed in SAB 107 regarding the use of the simplified method in developing an estimate of expected life of share options in accordance with SFAS 123R. Due to a lack of adequate historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate, the Company will continue to use the simplified method until it has the historical data necessary to provide a reasonable estimate of expected life in accordance with SAB 107, as amended by SAB 110. For the expected option life, the Company has what SAB 107 defines as “plain-vanilla” stock options, and therefore use a simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term for options as permitted by SAB 107.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2 (“FSP”) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for non financial assets and non financial liabilities, except items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The FSP defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 (our Fiscal 2010), and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities on April 1, 2008. It did not have any impact on its results of operations or financial position and did not result in any additional disclosures. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of FSP No. 157-2 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Hierarchy.SFAS No. 157 defines the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits companies to make a one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if measurement is not required by GAAP. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on April 1, 2008, resulting in no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP No. 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of
9
the asset. FSP No. 142-3 also requires the disclosure of the weighted-average period prior to the next renewal or extension for each major intangible asset class, the accounting policy for the treatment of costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible assets and for intangible assets renewed or extended during the period, if renewal or extension costs are capitalized, the costs incurred to renew or extend the asset and the weighted-average period prior to the next renewal or extension for each major intangible asset class. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Management’s Plan
Since fiscal 2008, a new management team has been focused on the implementation of a new strategic plan designed to focus on expanding certain core businesses; closing or selling non-strategic businesses and assets; improving operating margins; reducing selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses; establishing a more disciplined approach to cash management; and reducing and restructuring the Company’s long-term debt. Management believes that the Company continues to make progress in each of these areas.
During the nine-months ended December 31, 2008, the Company reduced its loss from continuing operations by $1.1 million compared to the same period during the previous year. This improved performance was achieved despite lower revenue in some of the Company’s business segments due to weak market conditions and other factors. The Company’s operating margins have improved significantly and while SG&A expenses have increased slightly, much of this increase is due to the planned ramp-up and expansion of the Pharmacy segment, including the DailyMed medication management products and services. SG&A related employee costs in other segments of the business have declined year-over-year as the Company has reduced administrative employee headcount and other discretionary expenses.
Management expects continued improvement in the operating results of its core businesses. Home care revenue continues to grow, and significant increases in Pharmacy revenue are anticipated over the next several quarters. While market conditions in the medical staffing and non-medical staffing businesses are expected to remain soft in the near-term, the Company is well positioned to benefit from improvements in these markets. Operating margins in the Services segment are expected to remain at or near current levels for the foreseeable future. In the HHE segment, the Company has taken significant steps (as described in Management’s Discussion & Analysis) to maintain profitability and positive cash flow despite changes in the Medicare reimbursement system effective January 1, 2009. In the Pharmacy segment, the consolidation of the Paducah, Kentucky operations into the new Indianapolis, Indiana pharmacy will improve efficiencies and increase oversight. Management expects to see a reduction in Pharmacy operating losses as revenues expand.
Cash plus line of credit availability was $3.1 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $6.4 million at March 31, 2008. Cash provided by operations was $38,000 for the nine-months ended December 31, 2008. The reduction in the Company’s available funds during the current fiscal year was due to investing and financing activities, including capital expenditures associated with the Pharmacy ramp up and cash payments to satisfy certain prior year business acquisition requirements and debt obligations.
Management is making progress on the sale of non-core assets and the restructuring of its long-term debt. As of December 31, 2008, a significant portion of the Company’s long-term debt was reclassified as current. $11.2 million of this debt is owed under its Comerica Bank line of credit, which is secured by eligible receivables of the Services segment. This line of credit expires on October 1, 2009. Management believes that it will be able to either renew this line of credit on acceptable terms or replace it with a similar line of credit with another lender. The remainder of the current long-term debt is held by the Company’s two largest common stockholders. Management is in continuing discussions with these two entities to explore alternatives for reducing and restructuring the outstanding debt. As part of this, the Company is in the process of divesting certain non-core businesses and assets. A portion of the proceeds of these sales would be used to reduce and restructure the existing debt and, depending on the proceeds realized, to provide additional liquidity to the Company. While successful execution of this plan depends upon the Company’s success in reaching definitive agreements regarding these asset sales, management believes this will be done before the maturity of the current portion of the long term debt.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations
On January 6, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell the assets of its HHE business in San Fernando, California for approximately $503,000. Because the asset sale was imminent at December 31, 2008, the results of operations for this business unit are included in discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In October 2008, the Company recognized $696,000 in additional loss on the sale of its Florida HHE operations, which was divested of in September 2007. See “Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity” for a more detailed discussion.
As discussed in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company sold or closed several underperforming businesses during the fiscal year 2008, including the exit of the retail HHE locations, the non-emergency care clinic segment and the Colorado and Florida HHE business units. The following table summarizes the divestures during fiscal year ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | |
Business | | Divesture Date | | Segment |
|
Sears Retail HHE Operations | | July 31, 2007 | | HHE |
Florida HHE Operations (Beacon Respiratory Services, Inc.) | | September 10, 2007 | | HHE |
Colorado HHE Operations (Beacon Respiratory Services of Colorado, Inc.) | | September 10, 2007 | | HHE |
Care Clinic, Inc. | | October 2007 | | Care Clinic |
Walmart Retail HHE Operations | | December 31, 2007 | | HHE |
Hollywood, Florida Pharmacy | | December 31, 2007 | | Pharmacy |
The results of the above are reported in discontinued operations through the dates of disposition in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and the prior period consolidated statements of operations have been recast to conform to this presentation. The segment results in “Note 12 – Segment Information” also reflect the reclassification of the discontinued operations. The discontinued operations do not reflect the costs of certain services provided to these operations by the Company. Such costs, which were not allocated by the Company to the various operations, included legal fees, insurance, external audit fees, payroll processing, human resources services and information technology support. The Company uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations, and, accordingly, debt and the related interest expense were also not allocated specifically to these operations. The consolidated statements of cash flows do not separately report the cash flows of the discontinued operations.

Stock Price Guarantees
In July 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest of JASCORP, LLC (“JASCORP”). As partial consideration, the Company issued 1,814,883 shares of common stock. The Company guaranteed the share price of $0.99 per share at the one-year anniversary date of the acquisition. In July 2008, the Company issued 1,512,402 shares of common stock to the former owner of JASCORP in order to satisfy the guaranteed stock price obligation.
In September 2007 and simultaneous with the Company’s sale of its Florida and Colorado home health equipment businesses, the Company released 1,068,140 shares of common stock to the former owners of Alliance Oxygen & Medical Equipment, Inc. (“Alliance”), an entity acquired by the Company in July 2006. The release of the shares was consistent with the terms of an Escrow Release Agreement entered into on July 19, 2007. In the agreement, the Company guaranteed the share price of $0.70 per share. In October 2008, the Company issued 1,804,491 shares of common stock to the former owners of Alliance in order to satisfy the guaranteed stock price obligation.

The outstanding warrants have no voting rights and provide the holder with the right to convert one warrant for one share of the Company’s common stock at the stated exercise price. The majority of the outstanding warrants have a cashless exercise feature.
On June 5, 2008 and as partial consideration for the amendment of the line of credit agreement with ABDC, the Company issued 490,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model and was determined to be $248,000. This was recorded as a loss on the extinguishment of a debt agreement. The assumptions used were as follows: risk free interest rate of 3.63%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 76%, and expected life of 7 years.
No warrants were exercised during either of the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 9 — Stock-Based Compensation
On August 18, 2006, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the Arcadia Resources, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders on September 26, 2006. The 2006 Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted shares (collectively “Awards”). The 2006 Plan will terminate and no more Awards will be granted after August 2, 2016, unless terminated by the Board of Directors sooner. The termination of the 2006 Plan will not affect previously granted Awards. The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the 2006 Plan may not exceed an aggregate of 2.5% of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock as of the date the Plan was approved by the shareholders or 5,000,000 shares. All non-employee directors, executive officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive Awards under the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 200,000 shares were available for grant under the 2006 Plan.
On January 27, 2009, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the 2006 Plan. The Amendment proposes to increase the number of shares available to be issued under the Plan to 5% of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock as of the date the Amendment is approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Amendment is subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders at the next regularly scheduled or special meeting of stockholders.
Stock Options
Prior to the adoption of the 2006 Plan, stock options were granted to certain members of management and the Board of Directors. The terms of these options varied depending on the nature and timing of the grant. The maximum contractual term for the options granted to date is seven years.
The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The Company estimated the expected term of outstanding stock options by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option, as illustrated in SAB 107. The Company currently uses the “simplified” method to estimate the expected term for employee stock option grants as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate. The Company estimated the volatility of its common stock by using historical stock price volatility. The Company based the risk-free interest rate that it uses in the option pricing model on U.S. Treasury constant maturity issues having remaining terms similar to the expected terms of the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore used an expected dividend yield of zero in the option pricing model. All share-based payment awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.

As part of the fiscal 2009 executive compensation plan as outlined in the fiscal 2008 Proxy Statement for the Company as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on July 29, 2008, the Board determined that each named executive would be granted a number of options (such options valued at 200% of annual base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, 100% of annual base salary for the Chief Financial Officer and 100% of annual base salary for Executive Vice Presidents) which would vest over three (3) years. On April 3, 2008, the Board authorized the issuance of one-third of these total option grants for executive management (such portion which vested quarterly over fiscal 2009) and determined that the remaining two-thirds were to be issued as soon as the Company has option shares available to do so. Following approval of the Amendment of the Plan as describe above, on January 27, 2009, the Board of Directors granted the remaining two-thirds of these options to the named executives (an aggregate of 2,253,334 options), such options (i) having an exercise price of $0.72 per share (the closing share price on April 2, 2008), (ii) vesting in equal installments on March 31, 2010 and 2011, and (iii) expiring on January 26, 2016. In the event shareholder approval of the Amendment to the Plan is not received at the next special or annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, these option grants shall be terminated and voided in all respects and shall not vest or be exercisable by the participants at any time.

SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s performance, the market environment in which the company operates, the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and expectation of future profits. SFAS No. 109 further states that forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as the cumulative losses in recent years. Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. The Company will provide a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits until it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to utilize the assets, or other significant positive evidence arises that suggests the Company’s ability to utilize such assets.
Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Upon adoption and the conclusion of the initial evaluation of the Company’s uncertain tax positions (“UTP’s”) under FIN 48, no adjustments were recorded in the accounts. Consistent with past practice, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest and operating expenses, respectively. No amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2008. There was no 2009 activity related to unrecognized tax benefits. In the major jurisdictions in which the Company operates, which includes the United States and various individual states therein, returns for various tax years from 2003 forward remain subject to audit. The Company is not currently under examination for federal or state income tax purposes. The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.
In July 2007, the State of Michigan enacted a substantial change to its corporate tax structure effective January 1, 2008. The tax law change eliminated of the Single Business Tax (“SBT”) and created an income tax and a modified gross receipts tax. Previous to this change, the expense related to the SBT was primarily a tax on compensation. The cost of revenues for the Services segment is primarily compensation and, as such, the SBT expense was previously included in the cost of revenues. Effective January 1, 2008, the expenses associated with the new Michigan Business Tax were recorded in the Income Tax line item due to its primary taxation on income as opposed to compensation. Management does not anticipate that these new laws will have a material impact on the Company in future periods.

The Services segment remains the largest source of revenue for the Company. The Company continues to generate higher sales from its home care business. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, home care revenues increased approximately 14% over the same period a year ago. Approximately 3% of this increase was attributable to an acquisition of a home care company in April 2008. The remainder represents organic growth in several of the Company’s main geographic markets. The increase in sales included growth in government programs served, as well as private pay and insurance clients.
25
The growth in home care revenues was more than offset by significant year-over-year declines in revenue in the medical staffing and non-medical staffing markets, which declined by approximately 8% and 48%, respectively, as compared to the prior year. Demand for the Company’s per diem and travel medical staffing services declined as compared with the same period a year ago. Several factors have contributed to the lower level of overall demand, including lower patient censuses in facilities; constraints on facility staffing budgets; the return of part-time staff to full-time status and increases in overtime accepted by permanent staff, largely in response to overall economic conditions; and delays in the construction and opening of new facilities that often drives short-term staffing requirements. While these factors have impacted medical staffing generally, the more significant impact has been on the Company’s per diem staffing business. Non-medical staffing has declined significantly due to economic conditions in Michigan, the Company’s primary non-medical staffing market. One customer accounted for a decrease in the non-medical staffing revenue of approximately $1.7 million during the third quarter compared with the prior year.
Gross margins in the Services segment increased from 26.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to 29.1% in the current period. The cost of revenues in this segment primarily consists of employee costs, including wages, taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation expense. The year-over-year improvement in gross margins was driven primarily by three factors. The first was a reduction in workers’ compensation expense, reflecting the success of the Company’s on-going efforts to control and reduce these costs through improved training, timelier reporting and investigation of claims, and reduced administrative costs. The second factor was the increased mix of home care revenue as a percentage of sales, with margins in this market being higher than gross margins in the medical staffing and non-medical staffing. The final factor was higher margins from non-medical staffing on lower revenues.
The decrease in HHE net sales revenue of $274,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago reflects a decrease in the home-health oriented mail order catalog revenue and in the revenue generated from the medications related to nebulizer usage. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company reduced the number of catalogs mailed in an effort to generate stronger profits on less revenue. Additionally, in November 2008, management decided to outsource its nebulizer medication business to a private label provider, which resulted in approximately half the revenue as compared to the prior year period. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by a reduction in contractual allowances. During the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter, management reviewed historical write off trends and updated its model for classifying both contractual adjustments and bad debt provisions based on a detailed analysis of the HHE segment’s recent billing and collection history.
The costs of revenue in the HHE segment are largely the costs of products that are rented, leased or sold to HHE customers and the costs of supplies and some patient services. Costs of revenue include the depreciation expense for patient rental equipment, as described further in the “Depreciation and Amortization” section that follows. The reduction in the HHE segment gross margins was due to a one-time charge in the mail-order catalog business that increased cost of goods sold.
Recent changes in reimbursement levels under the Medicare program will result in a 9.5% reduction in reimbursement on certain products commencing January 1, 2009. In addition, Medicare has capped the period of time that a provider may be reimbursed for providing oxygen concentrator rental equipment to customers, effective January 1, 2009. Providers will be able to continue to bill these customers for portable oxygen products and will also be permitted to bill for equipment service and maintenance on terms and conditions prescribed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). As a result of these changes to the Medicare program, the Company anticipates a reduction in net revenue and gross margins in the HHE segment starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company has initiated several cost reduction measures to partially offset the impact of these changes. These actions include exiting the unprofitable direct supply of inhaled medications in November 2008; closing, consolidating and restructuring certain operating locations and activities; changes in billings and claims processing resulting in substantial cost reductions; changing the business’s approach to CPAP supply replenishment to increase sales and reduce fulfillment costs; implementing a more aggressive and systematic approach to cost reduction from the HHE supply base; and headcount and overhead reductions. While the Company believes these actions will substantially offset the adverse effects related to Medicare reimbursement changes, the timing of these savings may not coincide with the reductions in revenue and additional actions may be required.

The revenue in the Pharmacy segment increased by 16% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of the increase in sales from our DailyMed™ programs. The Company has launched its DailyMed™ medication management program and is pursuing opportunities with government entities, managed care organizations, assisted living and group home facilities, existing home care and HHE customers and in direct-to-consumer initiatives. The Company is working with the Indiana Medicaid program and its managed care providers to identify those patients who will benefit most from participation in the DailyMed™ program. DailyMed™ revenue increased approximately 30% over the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and revenue will continue to increase as the Indiana Medicaid program enrolls more lives.
The costs of revenue in the Pharmacy segment include the cost of medications sold to clients and packaging costs for the DailyMed™ proprietary dispensing system. Costs of revenue also include switching services and other costs associated with the Company’s pharmacy software management products.

The Services segment selling, general and administrative expense increased due to an increase in bad debt expense. The bad debt expense for the prior year period was lower than normal due to temporary improvements in the aging of accounts receivable. The bad debt expense for the current year period reflects a more conservative approach in computing the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. The increase in bad debt expense is offset by reductions in employee and temporary labor costs as the Company continues to focus on reducing employee costs in efforts to reduce total administrative expenses.
The decrease in the HHE segment selling, general and administrative expense was due to decreases in employee costs, bad debt expense and mail-order catalog related costs. As discussed previously, the Company continues to decrease its headcount in several segments, which has resulted in lower employee costs compared to the prior year period. The prior year period bad debt expense reflects the continued impact of certain licensure and billing issues that the Company experienced subsequent to several HHE business acquisitions in fiscal 2006 and 2007. Finally, as previously discussed in the “Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit” section, the Company has scaled back its mail-order catalog operations in an effort to improve profitability, and this has resulted in less revenue and less expenses.
The sizable increase in the Pharmacy segment selling, general and administrative expense reflects the follow:
| • | | The Company continues to invest in the infrastructure and additional employees that will be necessary to support the growth in the Pharmacy segment revenues. |
|
| • | | During the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company consolidated its Paducah, Kentucky pharmacy operations into its new Indianapolis, Indiana pharmacy. During the transition period, both pharmacies were open for approximately two months. Additionally, the Company incurred severance costs associated with the closing of the Paducah location. |
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses remained fairly consistent during the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 at $1.5 million compared to $1.4 million during the previous year period. The modest increase reflects an increase in employee costs partially offset by reductions in corporate marketing, travel and auto-related expenses.

| | |
Depreciation expense included in cost of revenues increased compared to the prior year period due to increased depreciation associated with the HHE sleep disorder equipment after a period of increased purchasing of this type of equipment.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment remained consistent with the prior year period. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased approximately 13%, primarily as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during fiscal year 2009.
Interest Expense and Income
The following summarizes net interest expense for the three-month periods ended December 31, (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | |
The average interest bearing liabilities balance (balance at the beginning of the period plus the balance at the end of the period divided by two) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 was $37.2 million compared to $35.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense is due to lower interest rates on the Company’s largest interest bearing liabilities, specifically the Comerica Bank line of credit and the JANA note payable.
Income Taxes
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $274,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 compared to a $33,000 expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, a benefit of $307,000. This income tax credit is primarily the result of adjusting the accrued state income tax liabilities for the State of Michigan as a result of a change in the method of taxation for businesses effective January 1, 2008. Previous to this change, the expense related to the Single Business Tax (“SBT”) was primarily a tax on compensation. The cost of revenues for the Services segment is primarily compensation and, as such, the SBT expense was included in the cost of revenues. Effective January 1, 2008, the expenses associated with the new Michigan Business Tax were recorded in the Income Tax line item due to its primary taxation on income as opposed to compensation.
28
Loss from Discontinued Operations
As noted in “Note 3 — Discontinued Operations” of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Report, the Company divested several business units beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. As such, the prior period consolidated statements of operations have been recast to conform to this presentation. The loss from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 was $612,000, which included $84,000 of income from the San Fernando, California HHE location prior to disposal offset by an additional loss on the prior year HHE disposal of $696,000 as described in “Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity”. The loss from discontinued operations for the prior year period was $1.3 million.

The Services segment remains the largest source of revenue for the Company The Company continues to generate higher sales from its home care business. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, home care revenues increased approximately 12% over the same period a year ago. A majority of this increase represents organic growth in several of the Company’s main geographic markets. The increase in sales included growth in government programs served, as well as private pay and insurance clients.
30
The growth in home care revenues was more than offset by significant year-over-year declines in revenue in the medical staffing and non-medical staffing markets, which declined by approximately 14% and 31%, respectively, as compared with the prior year. Demand for the Company’s per diem and travel medical staffing services declined as compared with the same period a year ago. Several factors have contributed to the lower level of overall demand, including lower patient censuses in facilities; constraints on facility staffing budgets; the return of part-time staff to full-time status and increases in overtime accepted by permanent staff, largely in response to overall economic conditions; and delays in the construction and opening of new facilities that often drives short-term staffing requirements. While these factors have impacted medical staffing generally, the more significant impact has been on the Company’s per diem staffing business. Non-medical staffing has declined significantly due to economic conditions in Michigan, the Company’s primary industrial staffing market, offset by growth in the new Mid-Atlantic region now being served by the Company. One customer accounted for a decrease in the industrial staffing revenue of approximately $4.6 million during the nine month period ended December 31, 2008 compared with the prior year.
Gross margins in the Services segment increased from 26.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to 29.0% in the same current period. The cost of revenues in this segment consists primarily of employee costs, including wages, taxes, fringe benefits and workers’ compensation expense. The year-over-year improvement in gross margins was driven primarily by three factors. The first was a reduction in workers’ compensation expense, reflecting the success of the Company’s on-going efforts to control and reduce these costs through improved training, timelier reporting and investigation of claims, and reduced administrative costs. The second factor was the increased mix of home care revenue as a percentage of sales, with margins in this market being significantly higher than gross margins in the medical staffing and industrial staffing. The final factor was higher margins from non-medical staffing on lower revenues.
The increase in HHE net sales revenue of $680,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago reflects a reduction in the level of contractual adjustments made to gross sales versus the same period of fiscal 2008. Management has reviewed historical charge off trend and updated its model for classifying both contractual adjustments and bad debt provisions based on a detailed analysis of the HHE segment’s recent billing and collection history.
The costs of revenue in the HHE segment are largely the costs of products that are rented, leased or sold to HHE customers and the costs of supplies and some patient services. Costs of revenue include the depreciation expense for patient rental equipment, as described further in the “Depreciation and Amortization” section below.
The revenue in the Pharmacy segment increased by 10% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 primarily related to its DailyMed™ programs. The Company has launched its DailyMed™ medication management program and is pursuing opportunities with government entities, managed care organizations, assisted living and group home facilities, existing home care and HHE customers and in direct-to-consumer initiatives. The Company is working with the Indiana Medicaid program and its managed care providers to identify those patients who will benefit most from participation in the DailyMed™ program. DailyMed™ revenue increased approximately 30% over the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and revenue will continue to increase as the Indiana Medicaid program enrolls more lives.
The costs of revenue in the Pharmacy segment include the cost of medications sold to clients and packaging costs for the DailyMed™ proprietary dispensing system. Costs of revenue also include switching services and other costs associated with the Company’s pharmacy software management products.

The Services segment selling, general and administrative expense decreased slightly to $20.4 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 compare to $20.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease reflects a decrease in the commissions paid to the affiliate agencies approximately offset by an increase in bad debt expense. Affiliate commissions are based on the gross margins of the individual affiliates, and the decrease reflects a decrease in revenues and gross margins generated from the affiliate owned locations for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period for the prior year. The bad debt expense for the prior year period was lower than normal due to some temporary improvements in the aging of accounts receivable. The bad debt expense for the current year period reflects a more conservative approach in determining the appropriate reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable.
The net decrease in the HHE segment selling, general and administrative expense was due to several changes in the segment year-over-year, including:
| • | | The closure of the Orlando, Florida administrative support office in November 2007. The Orlando office housed the HHE accounting, IT and compliance functions. The Company consolidated these HHE support functions with the Services support function located in Southfield, Michigan beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. This consolidation resulted in decreased employee, contractor and location costs in the HHE segment. |
|
| • | | Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company began to outsource certain billing and collection functions associated with the HHE segment. The net result was an increase in administrative expenses year-over-year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, management decided to bring these functions back in-house, and the remaining phases of this transition will be completed during the fourth quarter. |
The increase in the Pharmacy segment selling, general and administrative expense was due to the following:
| • | | The Company acquired JASCORP in July 2007, and the current year period ended December 31, 2008 includes a full nine months of expenses subsequent to the acquisition. |
|
| • | | The Company consolidated its Paducah, Kentucky pharmacy operations into its new Indianapolis, Indiana pharmacy during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008. During the transition period, both pharmacies were open for approximately two months. Additionally, the Company incurred severance costs associated with the closing of the Paducah location. |
|
| • | | The Company’s investment in the infrastructure and additional employees that will be necessary to support the continued growth in the Pharmacy segment. |
32
The increase in Corporate selling, general and administrative expense was due to the following:
| • | | A change in the classification of certain employees who were previously included in the Services segment to Corporate. Historically, employees in the Southfield, Michigan location supported the Services segment almost exclusively. During fiscal 2008, the Company centralized many of its corporate functions in Southfield, Michigan, and these employees now support the entire organization. Beginning in fiscal 2009, the Company began to more accurately separate and record these corporate functions from the segment specific functions; and |
|
| • | | Severance expense relating to two former executives. |
These increases were partially offset by the following:
| • | | In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company hired an in-house legal counsel, and since this hiring, the Company’s legal fees have decreased significantly. Additionally, audit fees and fees relating to Sarbanes-Oxley requirements decreased due to improved efficiencies and general fee reduction efforts. |
|
| • | | The reduction of equity compensation expense. During the fiscal 2008 second quarter, the Company recognized approximately $700,000 relating to the vesting of certain stock options consistent with the former CEO’s separation agreement executed in July 2007. |
Depreciation and Amortization

| | |
Depreciation and amortization – operating expense | | $ | 2,552 | | | $ | 2,725 | | | $ | (173 | ) | | | -6.3 | % |
| | |
Depreciation expense included in cost of revenues increased by 28.6% compared to the prior year due to increased depreciation associated with the HHE sleep disorder equipment after a period of increased purchasing of this type of equipment.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased by 11.8% compare to the prior year, primarily as a result of depreciation of computer software equipment and leasehold improvements subsequent to the JASCORP acquisition. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased approximately 18% as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during fiscal year 2009.
Interest Expense and Income
The following summarizes net interest expense for the nine-month periods ended December 31, (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The average interest bearing liabilities balance (balance at the beginning of the period plus the balance at the end of the period divided by two) for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 was $38.1 million compared to $40.7 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in interest expense during the current year was due to the reduction in interest-bearing liabilities compared to the prior year as well as a reduction in interest rates.
33
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $120,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 compared to $56,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $44,000. The income tax expense is primarily the result of state income tax liabilities of the subsidiary operating companies. Additionally, the State of Michigan changed the method of taxation for businesses effective January 1, 2008. Previous to this change, the expense related to the Single Business Tax (“SBT”) was primarily a tax on compensation. The cost of revenues for the Services segment is primarily compensation and, as such, the SBT expense was included in the cost of revenues. Effective January 1, 2008, the expenses associated with the new Michigan Business Tax were recorded in the Income Tax line item due to its primary taxation on income as opposed to compensation.
Due to the Company’s losses in recent years, it has paid nominal federal income taxes. For federal income tax purposes, the Company had significant permanent and timing differences between book income and taxable income resulting in combined net deferred tax assets of $19.2 million to be utilized by the Company for which an offsetting valuation allowance has been established for the entire amount. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes totaling $43.3 million that expires at various dates through 2028. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 rules limit the utilization of certain of these net operating loss carryforwards upon a change of control of the Company. It has been determined that a change in control took place at the time of the reverse merger in 2004, and as such, the utilization of $700,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to severe limitations in future periods.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
As noted in Note 3 – Discontinued Operations of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Report, the Company divested several business units beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. As such, the prior period consolidated statements of operations have been recast to conform to this presentation. The loss from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 was $445,000, which included $251,000 of income from the San Fernando, California HHE location prior to disposal offset by an additional loss on the prior year HHE disposal of $696,000. The loss from discontinued operations for the prior year was $9.8 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since fiscal 2008, a new management team has been focused on the implementation of a new strategic plan designed to focus on expanding certain core businesses; closing or selling non-strategic businesses and assets; improving operating margins; reducing selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses; establishing a more disciplined approach to cash management; and reducing and restructuring the Company’s long-term debt. Management believes that the Company continues to make progress in each of these areas.
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company reduced its loss from continuing operations by $1.1 million compared to the same period during the previous year. This improved performance was achieved despite lower revenue in some of the Company’s business segments due to weak market conditions and other factors. The Company’s operating margins have improved significantly and while SG&A expenses have increased slightly, much of this increase is due to the planned ramp-up and expansion of the Pharmacy segment, including the DailyMed medication management products and services. SG&A related employee costs in other segments of the business have declined year-over-year as the Company has reduced administrative employee headcount and other discretionary expenses.
Management expects continued improvement in the operating results of its core businesses. Home care revenue continues to grow, and significant increases in Pharmacy revenue are anticipated over the next several quarters. While market conditions in the medical staffing and non-medical staffing businesses are expected to remain soft in the near-term, the Company is well positioned to benefit from improvements in these markets. Operating margins in the Services segment are expected to remain at or near current levels for the foreseeable future. In the HHE segment, the Company has taken significant steps (as described in Management’s Discussion & Analysis) to maintain profitability and positive cash flow despite changes in the Medicare reimbursement system effective January 1, 2009. In the Pharmacy segment, the consolidation of the Paducah, Kentucky operations into the new Indianapolis, Indiana pharmacy will improve efficiencies and increase oversight. Management expects to see a reduction in Pharmacy operating losses as revenues expand.
34
Cash plus line of credit availability was $3.1 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $6.4 million at March 31, 2008. Cash provided by operations was $38,000 for the nine-months ended December 31, 2008. The reduction in the Company’s available funds during the current fiscal year was due to investing and financing activities, including capital expenditures associated with the Pharmacy ramp up and cash payments to satisfy certain prior year business acquisition requirements and debt obligations.
Management is making progress on the sale of non-core assets and the restructuring of its long-term debt. As of December 31, 2008, a significant portion of the Company’s long-term debt was reclassified as current. $11.2 million of this debt is owed under its Comerica Bank line of credit, which is secured by eligible receivables of the Services segment. This line of credit expires on October 1, 2009. Management believes that it will be able to either renew this line of credit on acceptable terms or replace it with a similar line of credit with another lender. The remainder of the current long-term debt is held by the Company’s two largest common stockholders. Management is in continuing discussions with these two entities to explore alternatives for reducing and restructuring the outstanding debt. As part of this, the Company is in the process of divesting certain non-core businesses and assets. A portion of the proceeds of these sales would be used to reduce and restructure the existing debt and, depending on the proceeds realized, to provide additional liquidity to the Company. While successful execution of this plan depends upon the Company’s success in reaching definitive agreements regarding these asset sales, management believes this will be done before the maturity of the current portion of the long term debt.
The following summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
| | |
Net cash used in operating activities | | $ | 38 | | | $ | (7,143 | ) |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | | | (1,169 | ) | | | 4,141 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | | (4,918 | ) | | | 1,549 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | | | (6,049 | ) | | | (1,453 | ) |
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period | | | 302 | | | | 1,541 | |
Availability under line of credit agreements | | $ | 2,784 | | | $ | 5,048 | |
At December 31, 2008, the Company had $3.1 million in cash and line of credit availability (Comerica Bank) compared to $6.4 million at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $3.3 million. The line of credit balance fluctuates based on working capital needs. The reduction in cash plus line of credit availability reflects the decrease in cash due to investing and financing activities, as more fully described below, as well as a reduction in the line of credit availability. The line of credit availability is based on the eligible accounts receivable within the Services segment, and as the Service segment revenues decrease, its receivables and borrowing base decreased as well. The availability under the line of credit agreements at December 31, 2007 included a line that was closed by the Company on March 31, 2008 and replaced by a new line of credit with more favorable terms.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $38,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 represents a significant improvement compared to the use of $7.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to the reduction in the net loss by $10.5 million. The loss from discontinued operations during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007 accounted for $9.8 million of the total $20.3 million net loss during the period. The improvement in cash flows from operations during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 reflects an increased emphasis on day-to-day cash management.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 of $1.2 million included $653,000 of cash paid for acquisitions in the Services segment and $892,000 of capital expenditures. The $653,000 used for business acquisitions includes the $300,000 for current year acquisitions while the remaining $353,000 represents payments associated with acquisitions made in previous periods. Additionally, in September 2008, the Company received a final payment of $356,000 relating to the sale of its Florida HHE operations during fiscal 2008. Cash provided by investing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007 included $5.8 million received upon the sale of the Florida and Colorado HHE operations, offset by $384,000 used to purchase JASCORP, LLC.
35
Cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period end December 31, 2008 of $4.9 million consisted of debt payments, including the reduction in the outstanding balance on the lines of credit. The $4.2 million reduction in the line of credit balance primarily reflects the timing of cash receipts and disbursements. Available cash is used to reduce the line of credit balance, and the available cash can fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007, the Company raised $12.4 million in cash through a private placement of its common stock. A significant portion of the proceeds from the private placement and the disposal of the Florida and Colorado HHE locations were used to pay down outstanding debt.
If the Company sells assets, other than inventory in the ordinary course of business, it is required to use a portion of the proceeds to pay down the outstanding JANA debt. Specifically, the Company must remit to JANA 50% of the net proceeds on the sale of assets up to $10 million and 75% of the net proceeds to the extent that the aggregate net proceeds exceed $10 million. JANA waived this requirement as it related to the sale of the Company’s HHE business in San Fernando, California on January 6, 2009 as more fully described in “Note 3 – Discontinued Operations”.
Net accounts receivable were $24 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $24.7 million at March 31, 2008. The Services and HHE segments account for 84% and 10%, respectively, of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 compared to 80% and 17% at March 31, 2008.
The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. The Company’s payer mix for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | |
Medicare | | | 7 | % |
Medicaid/other government | | | 22 | % |
Commercial Insurance | | | 14 | % |
Institution/Facilities | | | 37 | % |
Private Pay | | | 20 | % |
| | | | |
| | | 100 | % |
| | | | |
In order for the Company and its subsidiaries to receive reimbursement from Medicare for goods and services provided, appropriate provider numbers and billing codes must be maintained and active. As part of its need to update information required to keep these provider numbers and billing codes active, the Company submits information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). During the CMS review process, the Company has from time to time experienced temporary deactivation of some provider numbers and/or billing codes needed to obtain timely reimbursement from Medicare. The temporary deactivation has resulted in a delay in reimbursement, which impacts the Company’s cash collections. Generally, the Company obtains reimbursement retroactive to the date of deactivation. However, there is some risk that revenues recognized during the deactivation period may not ultimately be reimbursed. The delayed cash collection can adversely impact the Company’s short-term liquidity. As of December 31, 2008, there were no amounts subject to reimbursement delays.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The majority of our cash balances are held primarily in highly liquid commercial bank accounts. The Company utilizes lines of credit to fund operational cash needs. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is primarily limited to our borrowings. We do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant effect on our results of operations or cash flows. All our revenues since inception have been in the U.S. and in U.S. Dollars; therefore, we have not yet adopted a strategy for the future currency rate exposure as it is not anticipated that foreign revenues are likely to occur in the near future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management on a timely basis to allow decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The NYSE Alternext, as a matter of policy, will consider the suspension of trading in, or removal from listing of any stock when, in the opinion of the NYSE Alternext (i) the financial condition and/or operating results of an issuer of stock listed on the NYSE Alternext appear to be unsatisfactory, (ii) it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the stock has become so reduced as to make further dealings on the NYSE Alternext inadvisable, (iii) the issuer has sold or otherwise disposed of its principal operating assets, or (iv) the issuer has sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of NYSE Alternext, whether the issuer will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. For example, the NYSE Alternext will consider suspending dealings in, or delisting the stock of an issuer if the issuer has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. Another instance where the Amex would consider suspension or delisting of a stock is if it has been selling for a substantial period of time at a low price per share and the issuer fails to effect a reverse split of such stock within a reasonable time after being notified that the NYSE Alternext deems such action to be appropriate. The aggregate market value of our stock has been significantly higher than the Amex’s delisting thresholds for market value. However, we have sustained net losses and our stock has been trading at relatively low prices. Therefore our stock may be at risk of delisting by the NYSE Alternext. The delisting of our common stock by the NYSE Alternext would adversely affect the price and liquidity of our common stock.
The price of our common stock has been, and will likely continue to be, volatile, which could diminish the ability to recoup an investment, or to earn a return on an investment, in our Company.
The market price of our common stock, like that of the securities of many other companies with limited operating history and public float, has fluctuated over a wide range, and it is likely that the price of our common stock will fluctuate in the future. The closing price of our common stock, as quoted by NYSE Alternext (as successor to the American Stock Exchange) beginning July 3, 2006 through February 5, 2009, has fluctuated from a low of $0.15 to a high of $3.50. From February 5, 2009 to February 5, 2009, our common stock has fluctuated from a low of $0.15 to a high of $1.23. Limited demand for our common stock has resulted in limited liquidity, and it may be difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities. Due to the volatility of the price our common stock, an investor may be unable to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price paid for them, thereby exposing an investor to the risk that he may not recoup an investment in our Company or earn a return on an investment. In the past, securities class action litigation has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If we are the target of similar litigation in the future, our Company would be exposed to incurring significant litigation costs. This would also divert management’s attention and resources, all of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

To finance acquisitions made as part of our growth strategy, the Company incurred significant debt which must be repaid. Our debt level could adversely affect our financial health and affect our ability to run our business.
We acquired Arcadia Services, Inc. and SSAC, LLC (d/b/a) Arcadia Rx on May 10, 2004 and have acquired approximately 30 additional companies since that time. We incurred substantial debt to finance these acquisitions. This debt has been reduced periodically through capital infusions. As of December 31, 2008, the current portion of our debt, including lines of credit and capital lease obligations, totaled $34.9 million, while the long-term portion of our debt totaled approximately $2.0 million, for a total of approximately $36.9 million. This level of debt could have consequences to holders of our common stock. Below are some of the material potential consequences resulting from this amount of debt:
| o | | We may be unable to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. |
|
| o | | Our ability to adapt to changing market conditions may be hampered. We may be more vulnerable in a volatile market and at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have less debt. |
|
| o | | Our operating flexibility is more limited due to financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, creating liens on our properties, making acquisitions and paying dividends. |
|
| o | | We are subject to the risks that interest rates and our interest expense will increase. |
|
| o | | Our ability to plan for, or react to, changes in our business is more limited. |
Under certain circumstances, we may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. If we add new debt, the related risks that we now face could intensify. In order to repay our debt obligations timely, we must maintain adequate cash flow from operations or raise additional capital from equity investment or other sources. Cash, which we must use to repay these obligations, will reduce cash available for other purposes, such as payment of operating expenses, investment in new products and services offered by the Company, self-financing of acquisitions to grow the Company’s business, or distribution to our shareholders as a return on investment.
We will need to pay or refinance a significant portion our outstanding indebtedness at or prior to its maturity in 2009.
A large portion of the Company’s senior and subordinated debt mature between October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, and we will be required to repay or refinance this debt as it matures. We may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, raise equity on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or sell assets, and any of such eventualities could cause us to default on our obligations, impair our liquidity and restrict our ability to continue our operations as currently conducted and to compete in the future. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Under those circumstances, we would have to take appropriate action including restructuring or reorganizing all or a portion of our indebtedness, deferring payments on our debt, selling assets, incurring additional debt or issuing additional equity or taking other actions.
The adverse capital and credit market conditions could affect our liquidity.
Adverse capital and credit market conditions could affect our ability to meet liquidity needs, as well as our access to capital and cost of capital. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than 12 months. Recently, the volatility and disruption have reached unprecedented levels and the markets have exerted downward pressure on availability of liquidity and credit capacity for certain issuers. For example, recently credit spreads have widened considerably. Our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and capital position could be materially adversely affected by continued disruptions in the capital and credit markets.

Changes in reimbursement for Home Health Equipment products under Medicare could negatively affect our business and financial condition.
Recent federal legislative changes contain provisions that will directly impact reimbursement for some of the products supplied by the HHE segment, including oxygen equipment. Over the past several years federal legislative changes implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) have included the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007; the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005; and the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. Under these new provisions, the most significant changes for our HHE segment were to have included (a) establishment of competitive bidding areas (“CBA’s”) for certain HHE products, starting in ten metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) in 2008 and extending to additional MSAs in 2009 and beyond; (b) quality standards and accreditation requirements for participants in the competitive bidding program; (c) capped rental payments limiting the period of time for which the Company may be reimbursed for oxygen equipment supplied to its customers to 36 months, and required transfer of title to such equipment to the client after the 36 month reimbursement cap was reached; and (d) reductions in the reimbursement levels for certain inhalation drugs.
In April 2007 CMS issued its final rule implementing the first round of the competitive bidding program in ten of the largest MSA’s across the country, applying initially to ten categories of HHE and medical supplies. This first round of competitive bidding included a CBA in which one of the Company’s fourteen HHE businesses was located. CMS announced the winning suppliers in March 2008. The Company was not a winning supplier of the product categories for which we submitted bids.
On January 8, 2008, CMS announced the next 70 MSAs and the applicable product categories for the second round of the competitive bidding program for certain HHE products under Medicare Part B. CMS stated that it planned to announce the specific zip codes included in each of the respective MSA for the second round of competitive bidding during the second quarter of 2008.
In July 2008, the Unites States Congress enacted the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (“MIPPA”). Among other things, MIPPA (1) terminates contracts awarded in the first round of competitive bidding; (2) delays the first round of competitive bidding until 2009 and requires changes to the program be adopted prior to its re-implementation; (3) delays the second round of competitive bidding to after 2011; (4) retains the 36 month cap on reimbursement for oxygen equipment rentals, but deletes the requirement that title to such equipment be transferred to the patient at that time; and (5) implements effective January 1, 2009 a 9.5% reduction in reimbursement for certain HHE items supplied anywhere in the United States. On October 30, 2008, CMS announced that providers would be reimbursed for providing one in-home routine maintenance and servicing visit for oxygen concentrators every nine months, beginning nine months after the end of the 36 month rental period. This rule will be in effect for calendar year 2009 and CMS is soliciting comments about whether such payments should continue after 2009.
These changes will reduce reimbursement levels for certain HHE equipment, which will adversely impact revenues and margins starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. While these changes are not expected to have a material adverse change on the net revenues, operating income and cash flows of the Company as a whole in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008, the impact of these (and possible future) legislative changes will have a negative impact on the net revenues, operating income and cash flow of the HHE segment, starting in January 2009 and continuing into future periods. Recently, the Company has initiated several cost reduction measures to partially offset the impact of these changes. These actions include: exiting the unprofitable direct supply of inhaled medications in November 2008; closing, consolidating and restructuring certain operating locations and activities; changes in billings and claims processing resulting in substantial cost reductions; changing the business’s approach to CPAP supply replenishment to increase sales and reduce fulfillment costs; implementing a more aggressive and systematic approach to cost reduction from the HHE supply base; and headcount and overhead reductions. While the Company believes these actions will substantially offset the adverse effects on Medicare reimbursement, the timing of these savings may not coincide with the reductions in revenue and additional actions may be required. These initiatives, if successful, will mitigate the impact of these changes on the net revenues and margins realized in the Company’s HHE segment, but additional actions may be required. Moreover, until such time that the competitive bid program is implemented, bids are awarded in the applicable CBA’s and the associated fee schedules and participating providers are announced, we will not be able to determine the impact of MIPPA nor can we predict the effect the process will have on our ability to continue to provide products to Medicare beneficiaries in one or more of the markets we currently serve.

We have granted stock options to certain management employees and directors as compensation, which may depress our stock price and result in dilution to our common security holders.
As of December 31, 2008, options to purchase approximately 3.7 million shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. On August 18, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Arcadia Resources, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the security holders on September 26, 2006. The Plan allows for the granting of additional incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted shares up to 5 million shares (2.5% of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock as of the date the Plan was approved).
On January 27, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Plan (the “Amendment”) to provide the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted shares up to 5% of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock as of the date the Amendment is approved by the stockholders of the Company. The Board also granted an aggregate of 2,253,334 options to certain officers of the Company, the vesting and exercise of which are subject in all respects to approval of the Amendment by the Company’s stockholders at their next annual or special meeting.
The market price of our common stock is above the exercise price of some of the outstanding options; therefore, holders of those securities are likely to exercise their options and sell the common stock acquired upon exercise of such options in the open market. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by holders of options may depress the prevailing market price for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the future sale of our equity securities. Additionally, if the holders of outstanding options exercise those options, our common security holders will incur dilution. The exercise price of all common stock options is subject to adjustment upon stock dividends, splits and combinations, as well as anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in the option agreement.
Because the Company is dependent on key management and advisors, the loss of the services or advice of any of these persons could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
The success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified and experienced management and personnel. We do not presently maintain key person life insurance for any of our personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain key personnel in the future, and the Company’s inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on us. We have recently made significant changes in our senior management team. In addition, the Company has experienced several changes in key accounting personnel as we consolidated the accounting function into one location. Our management team will need to work together effectively to successfully develop and implement our business strategies and financial operations. In addition, management will need to devote significant attention and resources to preserve and strengthen relationships with employees, customers and the investor community. If our new management team is unable to achieve these goals, our ability to grow our business and successfully meet operational challenges could be impaired.
