NOTE 1 - CORPORATE HISTORY
Pacific Health Care Organization, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah, on April 17, 1970 under the name Clear Air, Inc. The Company changed its name to Pacific Health Care Organization, Inc. (PHCO), on January 31, 2001. On February 26, 2001, the Company acquired Medex Healthcare, Inc. (Medex), a California corporation organized March 4, 1994, in a share for share exchange. Medex is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Medex is in the business of managing and administering Health Care Organizations (HCOs) and Medical Provider Network (MPNs) in the state of California. On August 14, 2001, we formed Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In January 2008, Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc. changed its name to Industrial Resolutions Coalition, Inc. (IRC) IRC is in the business of creating legal agreements for the implementation of Workers’ Compensation Carve-Outs for California employers with collective bargaining units.
Medex Healthcare, Inc.
HCOs are networks of medical providers established to serve the Workers’ Compensation industry. In the original legislation establishing HCOs, the California legislature mandated that if an employer contracts services from an HCO, the injured workers must be given a choice between at least two HCOs. To be competitive, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medex, recognized early on that it was necessary to have two HCO certifications. Instead of aligning with a competitor, Medex elected to go through the lengthy applications process with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) twice to obtain licensure for and to operate two separate HCOs. While there is no longer a statutory requirement to offer two HCOs to employers, Medex continues to retain its two certifications. As such, employer clients have the option of offering one or two HCOs to their employees. Medex believes its ability to offer two HCOs gives potential clients greater choice, which is favored by a number of employers, especially those with certified bargaining units.
Through its two certified HCOs, Medex offers injured workers a choice. One is to enroll in an HCO with a network managed by primary care providers requiring a referral to specialists. The second choice is to enroll in an HCO where injured workers do not need any prior authorization to be seen and treated by specialists.
The two HCO certifications that Medex currently holds cover the entire state of California, where medical and indemnity costs associated with Workers’ Compensation in the state California are in the billions of dollars annually. The Company’s two HCOs utilize a network of over 3,400 contracted providers and clinics and hospitals making its HCOs capable of providing comprehensive medical services throughout this region. The Company is continually developing its networks based upon the nominations of new clients and the approvals of their claims’ administrators. Provider credentialing is performed by Medex.
Medex, by virtue of its continued certification as an HCO, is statutorily deemed to be qualified as an approved MPN. A significant number of employer clients have availed themselves of the MPN. Others utilize the provisions of the HCO program, while others will use both in conjunction with each other.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - CORPORATE HISTORY (continued)
The Company maintains ongoing discussions with insurance brokers, carriers, third party administrators, managed care organizations and representatives of self-insured employers, both as partners and potential clients. Based on potential cost savings to employers and the approximately fourteen million workers eligible for its services, the Company expects that employers will continue to sign contracts with the Company to retain its services. The amount the Company charges employers per enrollee may vary based upon factors such as employer history and exposure to risk; for instance, a construction company would likely pay more than a payroll service company. In addition, employers who have thousands of enrollees are more likely to get a discount than employers with fewer employees.
Because the Company contracts with medical providers who own their own medical equipment, such as x-ray machines, the Company does not typically incur large capital expenditures. The Company does, however, incur fixed costs such as liability insurance and other usual costs of running a business.
Industrial Resolutions Coalition, Inc.
In 2001 we incorporated Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc., as a wholly-owned subsidiary, with the intent of pursuing other opportunities in the workers’ compensation field. Toward the end of 2007 the Company identified a business opportunity within the workers’ compensation field. Through IRC, formerly Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc., the Company is in the business of creating legal agreements for the implementation of Workers’ Compensation Carve-Outs for California employers with collective bargaining units, and the administration of such programs within the statutory and regulatory requirements.
Because the Company already has established health care networks, it considered pursuing this market directly through Medex. Workers’ unions, however, have historically been opposed to HCO programs. Medex has been largely unable to place its services into employers with union participation in both the private and public sectors. The reason for this has been the requirement in the HCO statute that the unions authorize the use of the HCO program. Unions have been opposed to authorizing the use of HCO programs because the HCO program is selected by the employer with no input whatsoever from labor participants. The major unions, especially those involved in schools and governmental entities (municipalities, etc.), have historically refused to allow employers to implement the HCO. All the unions in the California Labor Federation have also refused to participate in HCO programs. The same objections have been raised regarding the use of the MPN, i.e., no input from labor representatives. For these reasons, the Company believes there is a market available to IRC that Medex has been unable to exploit.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Accounting
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
B. Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to monthly contracted amounts for services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Health care service revenues are recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or determinable and the related services are provided to the subscriber.
The Company’s subscribers pay for their services by check or electronic check payment, and revenue is then recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are provided. Advance billings to subscribers are recorded on the balance sheet as unearned revenue. In circumstances where payment is not received in advance, revenue is only recognized when earned. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is established for any customer who is deemed as possibly uncollectible.
C. Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible within
three months to known amounts, as cash equivalents. The Company currently has no cash equivalents.
D. Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents at well-known, quality financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
E. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock (unaudited)
The computation of earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.

F. Depreciation
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated over the lesser of the length of the lease of the related assets for the estimated lives of the assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method.
G. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its’ wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
I. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value are based on their effective interest rates compared to current market prices.
J. General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative expenses include fees for office space, compensated absences, travel expenses and entertainment costs.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
K. Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities measured by the currently enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
L. Capital Structure
The Company has two classes of stock. Preferred stock, par value $.001, 5,000,000 shares authorized, zero issued. Voting rights and liquidation preferences have not been determined. The Company also has voting common stock, par value $.001, of 50,000,000 shares authorized, with 802,424 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends were paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, or in any prior period.
M. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFS123[R]). This standard requires the Company to record compensation expense using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
N. Trade Receivables
The Company, in the normal course of business, extends credit to its customers on a short-term basis. Although the credit risk associated with these customers is minimal, the Company routinely
reviews its accounts receivable balances and makes provisions for doubtful accounts. The Company ages its receivables by date of invoice. Management reviews bad debt reserves quarterly and reserves specific accounts as warranted or sets up a general reserve based on amounts over 90 days past due. When an account is deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable against the bad debt reserve. At the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a $20,000 general reserve for balances over 90 days past due has been established.
The percentages of the major customers to total accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (unaudited) are as follows:
Customer A 22%
Customer B 12%
Customer C 11%
NOTE 3 - New Technical Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES – INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO.115. This statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by providing the Company with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s
10

Notes to Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
NOTE 3 - New Technical Pronouncements (continued)
long-term measurement objective for accounting for financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company presently comments on significant accounting policies (including fair value of financial instruments) in Note 2 to the financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 51. This statement’s objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require ownership interests in the subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 (revised) did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES—AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statement’s objective is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in statement 133. The statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE INSURANCE CONTRACTS—AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. This statement was issued because diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 - Income Taxes
The Company accounts for corporate income taxes in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards Number 109 (“SFAS No. 109”) “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income tax purposes.

NOTE 11 - Unaudited Information
The financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were taken from the books and records of the Company without audit. However, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to properly reflect the results of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and are of a normal, recurring nature. The information presented is not necessarily indicative of the results from operations expected for the full fiscal year.
NOTE 12 – Changes Resulting From Stock Splits and Cash-out of Fractional Shares
The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on April 11, 2008 at which the Company’s stockholders voted on the proposal to amend the Company’s Article of Incorporation to effect a 1 for 50 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, with a cash-out of all resulting fractional shares followed by a 2.5 for 1 forward split of our common stock. The Company did incur significant legal, proxy notification and mailing cost in connection with the meeting. The Shareholders voted 12,365,710 shares in favor, 394,516 shares against and 379 shares abstained from voting on the proposed transaction.
As permitted under Utah law and as approved by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, 12,568 pre-reverse split shares of common stock were reduced to fractional shares (less than one whole share) by the reverse split and such fractional shares were not reissued. Rather, the fractional shares were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment for the value of the fractional share. The Company believes that the transaction will result in significantly reduced shareholder record keeping and mailing expenses and will provide holders of fewer than the 50 pre-reverse split shares with an efficient, cost-effective way to cash-out their investments. The Company set aside in accrued expense and an aggregate amount payable of $918 owed to cashed-out fractional share shareholders who were entitled to a cash payment for their shares. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had paid an aggregate amount of $600 owed to cashed-out fractional share shareholders.
As a result of the reverse and forward splits, the Company has restated its outstanding shares on the balance sheet for December 31, 2007 and in Note 2(e). Neither the authorized common stock of the Company, nor the par value of the common stock were affected by the splits. The outstanding shares at December 31, 2007 were 15,427,759, following the splits; the outstanding shares of the Company were 802,424. For the year end December 31, 2007, $14,626 was reclassified from common stock to additional paid-in-capital.
Overview
For many years, workers’ compensation costs in California have been high. Since 1993, the legislature in California has enacted various laws designed to introduce alternatives to the traditional model of worker’s compensation aimed at controlling costs by giving employers greater control over the medical treatment of injured workers for a longer period of time.
Under the traditional model of workers’ compensation insurance coverage, the employer controls the selection of the medical provider for the first 30 days after the injury is reported. Thereafter the employee chooses the treating physician and the employer has no further control over the treatment of the patient.
16
In 1993 the California legislature passed a bill that established Health Care Organizations. An HCO is a network of health care professionals specializing in the treatment of workplace injuries and in back-to-work rehabilitation and training. The benefit of the HCO to an employer is two-fold. First, the employer is able to control the medical treatment of the injured employee for 90 to 180 days rather than just during the first 30 days. Second, the HCO provides the employer a network of trained providers to which it can refer its injured employees who specialize in treating work place injuries.
Under the HCO guidelines, all HCOs are required to collect from each enrolled employer certain annual fees which are passed on to the California Division of Workers’ Compensation (“DWC”). These fees include an annual fee per employee enrolled in the HCO at the end of the calendar year. The HCO guidelines also impose certain data reporting requirements on the HCO and annual enrollment notice delivery requirements. These requirements increase the administrative costs of an HCO.
In 2004, the California legislature enacted new laws that created MPNs. Like an HCO, an MPN is a network of health care professionals, but MPN networks are not required to have the same level of medical expertise in treating employees’ work place injuries. Under an MPN program, the employer dictates which physician the injured employee will see for the initial visit. Thereafter, the employee can choose to treat with any physician within the MPN network.
By virtue of our continued certification as an HCO, we were statutorily deemed to be qualified as an approved MPN on January 1, 2005. As a licensed HCO and MPN, we are able to offer our clients an HCO program, an MPN program and a combination of the HCO and MPN programs. Under this combination model, an employer can enroll its employees in the HCO program, then prior to the expiration of the 90 or 180 day treatment period under the HCO program, the employer can enroll the employee into the MPN program. This allows employers to take advantage of both programs. To our knowledge, we are currently the only entity that offers both programs together.
Unlike HCOs, MPNs are not assessed the annual enrollee fee that must be paid to the DWC. MPNs have far fewer data reporting obligations and no annual enrollment notice delivery requirements. MPN’s are only required to provide an enrollment notice at the time the employee first joins the MPN and a second notice at the time the employee suffers a work place injury. We experienced small increases in total enrollment during the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $597,167 compared to $419,416 at December 31, 2007. The $177,751 increase in cash on hand is the result of increased revenue from operations, accrued expenses and income tax payable, which were partially offset by decreases primarily in unearned revenue, accounts payable and prepaid income tax. We believe that cash on hand and anticipated revenues from operations will be sufficient to cover our operating costs over the next twelve months. We do not anticipate the need to find other sources of capital at this time.
17
In addition to focusing on expanding our current business, we continue to investigate other potential business acquisitions based on, among other criteria, economics, projected cash flows and the ability to increase shareholder value. If we expand our business via an acquisition or otherwise, or if our revenues are less than anticipated, we may need to find other sources of capital to continue operations. Most likely we would seek additional capital in the form of debt and/or equity. While we believe we are capable of raising additional capital, there is no assurance that we will be successful in locating other sources of capital on favorable terms or at all.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Revenue
The total number of employee enrollees increased 7% during nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007. Total revenues increased 21% to $1,776,879. As of September 30, 2008, we had approximately 232,000 total enrollees. Enrollment consisted of approximately 75,000 HCO enrollees and 157,000 MPN enrollees. By comparison as of September 30, 2007 we had approximately 216,000 enrollees, including approximately 68,000 HCO enrollees and approximately 148,000 MPN enrollees.
HCO Fees
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, HCO fee revenues were $915,991 and $730,657, respectively. The 10% increase in HCO enrollment during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, resulted in a 25% increase in revenue from HCO fees. This was attributable to increased employee enrollment and re-notification of existing clients. Based on a review of the expiration dates of current contracts with our existing HCO clients and our experience over the past year, we anticipate that during fiscal 2008 we will experience a cumulative 6% increase in total HCO enrollment with a cumulative 23% increase in HCO revenue.
MPN Fees
MPN fee revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $489,910, compared to $502,591 for the same period a year earlier. As of September 30, 2008 we realized a 6% increase in MPN enrollment compared to September 30, 2007. This growth in enrollment was largely attributable to an increase in enrollment by one of our major existing clients. Because of differing terms of payment, unbundling of services, price competition and similar factors as compared to 2007 we realized a 3% decrease in MPN fees, despite a 6% increase in MPN enrollment. We expect minimal increases in enrollment for the balance of the 2008 fiscal year and we anticipate a 12% annual decrease in MPN revenue in the 2008 fiscal year.
18
Other Revenue
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, other revenue increased 57% to $370,978 from $235,574 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The primary component of other revenue is nurse case management. We retain nurses on our staff who, at the request of our customers, will review the medical portion of a claim on behalf of our employer clients, claims managers and injured workers. We offer nurse case management services to our customers on an optional basis. We charge an additional fee for nurse case management services and program administration fees. We anticipate approximately 59% growth in other revenue by the end of fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.
We expect the aforementioned 25% increase in HCO revenues, 3% decrease in MPN revenues and 57% increase in other revenues to result in an overall increase in total revenue of approximately 16% in 2008.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 23% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period 2007. We expect total expenses to be approximately 15% higher during the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year, primarily as a result of IRC start up expenses and additional professional and other fees associated with the reverse and forward splits of our outstanding common stock.
Consulting Fees
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consulting fees increased to $186,975 from $153,618 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase in consulting fees was primarily due to contracting with an additional nurse case manager and consulting fees paid to the President of IRC, who is also our independent legal consultant to Medex. We anticipate that consulting fees will continue to be higher for the remainder of 2008 as we expand our nurse case management department and IRC.
Salaries and Wages
Salaries and wages increased to $623,819 or 36% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in salaries & wages was primarily the result of hiring our Vice President of Marketing, and a Chief Financial Officer during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, respectively. Additionally, the recording of an employee bonus accrual in September 2008, the hiring of an additional administrative staff member and a salary increase to the President of PHCO also contributed toward this increase. Accordingly, we expect salaries and wages to be approximately 27% higher in 2008, compared to 2007.
19
Professional Fees
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred professional fees of $197,529 compared to $130,635 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This 51% increase in fees was the result of increased legal fees associated with the reverse and forward splits of our common stock. We expect professional fees to be about 39% higher in 2008, as compared to 2007.
Insurance
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred insurance expenses of $84,814, a $1,261 decrease when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in 2008 was primarily due to minor adjustments made to the health insurance premiums. We expect insurance expenses to remain level during 2008.
Employment Enrollment
Employment enrollment increased $1,800 to $54,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As an HCO, we are required to pay a fee to the State of California – Division of Workers’ Compensation for each person enrolled at the end of the calendar year in our HCO program. Because employee enrollment expenses are not determined until year end, we accrue expense during the year based on our estimation of what enrollment will be at year end. We anticipate that total employee enrollment will be higher at December 31, 2008 than at December 31, 2007 resulting from increased HCO employee enrollment.
Data Maintenance
Under regulations applicable to HCOs and MPNs we are required to comply with certain data reporting and document delivery obligations. We currently contract out much of these data reporting and document delivery obligations to third parties. The costs we incur to meet these requirements are reflected in our financial statements as “data maintenance.”
Data maintenance costs are impacted by several factors, including the overall mix of enrollees in our HCO and MPN programs and the number of new enrollees during the year. HCOs are required to deliver enrollment notices annually to each HCO enrollee. By comparison, MPNs are required to deliver an enrollment notice only at the time of initial enrollment and at the time an enrollee is injured. As a result, after the first year, data maintenance fees for MPN enrollees are consistently about 50% lower than data maintenance fees for HCO enrollees. Therefore, depending on the mix of HCO and MPN enrollees and the number of new MPN enrollees versus ongoing MPN enrollees, our data maintenance costs may vary significantly from year to year even in years when our overall enrollment does not change materially.
Data maintenance fees may also vary significantly from employment enrollment fees in any given year. Employment enrollment fees are determined based on the number of HCO enrollees at the end of the calendar year. Employment enrollment fees do not take into account fluctuations in HCO enrollment during the year. By comparison, data maintenance fees are billed as services are provided. Therefore, we may have years when HCO enrollment is higher during the year than it is at the end of the calendar year, resulting in variances in data maintenance fees and employment enrollment fees in a given year.
20
Data maintenance fees are also impacted by the prices we can negotiate with our third party service providers.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 we experienced a 10% increase in HCO enrollment and a 6% increase in MPN enrollment. This led to an overall enrollment increase of 7%. Data maintenance fees decreased 4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in data maintenance fees was primarily attributable to lower data maintenance costs associated with the renewal of MPN enrollees and lower prices negotiated with third party service providers. We expect data maintenance fees will be lower throughout 2008 as compared to 2007.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased 20% to $235,822 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase in general & administrative expense was primarily attributable to increases in travel and entertainment, IT enhancement, shareholders’ meeting expense related to the stock splits and general price increases in supplies and services purchased. We expect general and administrative expenses will be approximately 10% higher for the year ended, December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended, December 31, 2007.
Net Income
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, total revenues were $1,776,879, an increase of $308,057 over the same period a year earlier. This increase in total revenues of 21% was partially offset by a 23% increase in total expenses resulting in income from operations of $190,447 compared to $175,628 during nine months ended September 30, 2007. Correspondingly, we realized a net income of $108,979 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net income $108,124 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. In 2008, we anticipate a projected 8% increase in consulting fees, a 27% increase in salaries and wages, a 38% increase in professional fees, a 24% increase in employee enrollment and a 10% increase in general and administrative expense. This will be partially offset by an anticipated 5% decrease in data maintenance. We anticipate these factors will result in an estimated 15% increase in total expenses in 2008. We expect the 15% increase in total expenses to be partially offset by the projected 5% increase in total revenue which will result in an increase of 19% in net income for the 2008 fiscal year.
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Total revenues increased 8% to $593,109 in the third quarter 2008 over the third quarter 2007. HCO revenues increased 26% resulting from increased HCO enrollees. MPN revenues decreased 14% in the third quarter due differing terms of payment, unbundling of services, price competition and similar factors as compared to the contracts in place in 2007. During the 3rd quarter 2008, other revenue decreased 2% from the same quarter in 2007 as a result of decreased nurse case management services to our customers.
21
Total expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased 30% to $565,000 primarily as a result of additional personnel, recording of a bonus accrual, increases in expense levels in other general administrative expenses and data maintenance.
Consulting Fees
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, consulting fees increased to $62,134 from $55,651 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. This increase in consulting fees of $6,483 was primarily due to contracting with an additional nurse case manager and consulting fees paid to the President of IRC, who is also our independent legal consultant to Medex.
Salaries and Wages
Salaries and wages increased $102,566 or 67% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 from the same period a year earlier. The increase in salaries & wages was primarily due to hiring of Vice President of Marketing and a Chief Financial Officer during the third and fourth quarter of 2007, respectively. Additionally, the recording of an employee bonus accrual in September 2008, the hiring of an additional administrative staff member and a salary increase to the President PHCO also contributed toward this increase.
Professional Fees
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred professional fees of $38,704 compared to $44,472 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. This 13% decrease in fees was primarily the result of lower levels of accounting fees.
Insurance
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred insurance expenses of $27,746 a $6,617 decrease over the prior year three months ended September 30, 2007.
Employment Enrollment
Employment enrollment was nearly unchanged, increasing only $600 to $18,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Data Maintenance
Data maintenance fees increased 35% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in data maintenance fees was primarily attributable to higher enrollment of employees.
22
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased 24% to $86,330 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase in general & administrative expense was attributable mainly to increases in IT enhancement expense, travel and entertainment, dues and subscriptions, equipment repairs and office supplies.
Net Income
We realized an 8% increase in our total revenue during the quarter. This increase was offset by a 30% increase in total expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008, which led to an $86,371 decrease in income from operations during three months ended September 30, 2008.
As a result of higher revenues and higher expenses, we realized a net income of $14,473 compared to $74,075 during three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash Flow
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 cash was primarily used to fund operations. We had a net increase in cash of $177,751 and $205,909 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES – INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO.115. This statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by providing us with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objective for accounting for financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on our financial statements. We presently comment on significant accounting policies (including fair value of financial instruments) in Note 2 to the financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 51. This statement’s objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require ownership interests in the subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 (revised) did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES—AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statement’s objective is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in statement 133. The statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE INSURANCE CONTRACTS—AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. This statement was issued because diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the recorded values of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions affect our recognition of deferred expenses, bad debts, income taxes, the carrying value of its long-lived assets and its provision for certain contingencies. We evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions continually based on a combination of historical information and other information that comes to its attention that may vary its outlook for the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.
Management suggests that our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe the critical accounting policies that most impact our consolidated financial statements are described below.
25
Basis of Accounting — We use the accrual method of accounting.
Revenue Recognition — We apply the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, we recognize revenue related to monthly contracted amounts for services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Health care service revenues are recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or determinable and the related services are provided to the subscriber.
Our subscribers generally pay in advance for their services by check or electronic check payment, and revenue is then recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are provided. Advance payments from subscribers are recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. In circumstance where payment is not received in advance, revenue is only recognized if collectability is reasonably assured. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is established for any customer who is deemed as possibly uncollectible.
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Forward Looking Information and Cautionary Statement
We note that certain statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which provide other than historical information and which are forward looking, involve risks and uncertainties that may impact our actual results of operations. We face many risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including but not limited to: economic conditions generally and in the industry in which we and our customers participate; competition within our industry, including competition from much larger competitors; legislative changes which could render our services less competitive or obsolete; our failure to successfully develop new services and/or products or to anticipate current or prospective customers’ needs; price increases or employee limitations and retention of key employees; delays, reductions, or cancellations of contracts we have previously entered. Readers should consider all of these risk factors as well as other information contained in this Report.
26
Forward-looking statements are predictions and not guarantees of future performance or events. The forward-looking statements are based on current industry, financial and economic information, which we have assessed but which by its nature, is dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly abrupt changes. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with our business.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and accordingly we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure controls and procedures are met.
As of the end of the period covered by this Report we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008.
Changes in Internal Control
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and accordingly we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
