ALMOST FAMILY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Unless otherwise indicated, all dollars and share amounts are in thousands, except per share data)
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q is referred to Almost Family, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for further information. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2013, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Discontinued Operations
The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, Discontinued Operations and, when appropriate, reclassifies operating units closed, sold or held for sale out of continuing operations and into discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its only two Alabama locations, which operated in the Visiting Nurse (VN) segment. The operations and gain on sale related to the Alabama operations were reclassified from continuing operations into discontinued operations for all periods presented. Other Assets Held for Sale primarily relate to prior period VN segment goodwill that was allocated to the Company’s Alabama operations. The effective tax rate for discontinued operations is unusually high due primarily to the impact of writing off non-deductible goodwill in addition to providing a valuation allowance for Alabama net operating loss carryforwards. Unless otherwise noted, amounts in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements exclude amounts attributable to discontinued operations.
2. Segment Data
The Company has two reportable segments, VN and Personal Care (PC), which operate locations in Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Reportable segments have been identified based upon how management has organized the business by services provided to customers and the criteria in ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company does not allocate certain expenses to the reportable segments. These expenses are included in corporate expenses below.
The VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care. Approximately 93% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance

programs. VN Medicare revenues include revenues from all Medicare sources including traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, whether paid on a per episode basis or a per visit basis.
The PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes. These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis. Approximately 85% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

3. Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes the cost of internally generated computer software developed for the Company’s own use. Software development costs of approximately $136 and $118 were capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Software development costs of approximately $405 and $276 were capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful life, generally three years, once the software is ready for its intended use.
4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company conducts annual reviews for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Other intangible assets consist of certificates of need and licenses, trade names and non-compete agreements. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Licenses, provider numbers, certificates of need and trade names have indefinite lives and are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company completed its most recent annual impairment test of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2012 and determined that no impairment existed.
The following table summarizes the activity related to goodwill and other intangible assets for 2013:

| | | | Other Intangible Assets | |

Balances at 12-31-12 | | $ | 132,014 | | $ | 9,391 | | $ | 10,421 | | $ | 155 | | $ | 19,967 | |

Of total goodwill, $100,087 and $30,974 relates to the VN segment and the PC segment, respectively. Changes to goodwill are related to VN segment adjustments related to a previous acquisition and a small acquisition. Amortization expense recognized on finite-lived intangible assets for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $23 and $17, respectively, and $46 and $33 for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and 2013, respectively.
5. Revolving Credit Facility
At June 30, 2013, the Company had a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a $125 million credit line with a maturity date of December 2, 2015 and an “accordion” feature providing for potential future expansion of the Facility to $175 million. Borrowings (other than letters of credit) under the credit facility are at either the bank’s prime rate plus a margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, currently 1.25%) or LIBOR plus a margin (ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, 2.25% at June 30, 2013). The margin for prime rate or LIBOR borrowings is determined by the Company’s leverage. Borrowings under the Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, and all existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors.
The weighted average prime rate-based interest rate was 4.50% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.53% and 2.72% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee of 0.30% to 0.50% on the average daily unused facility balance based on leverage. Borrowings are subject to various covenants including a multiple of 3.0 times earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). “EBITDA” may include “Acquired EBITDA” from pro-forma acquisitions pursuant to a calculation rider, up to 50% of “Adjusted EBITDA,” as defined. Borrowings under the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of June 30, 2013, the formula permitted $82.2 million to be used, of which no amounts were outstanding. The Company had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $5.5 million outstanding in connection with the Company’s self-insurance programs, which resulted in a total of $76.1 million being available for use at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the Facility’s various financial covenants. Under the most restrictive of its covenants, the Company was required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $159.4 million at June 30, 2013. At such date, the Company’s net worth was approximately $210.7 million.
6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, payables and debt instruments. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and payables are considered representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments approximates their carrying values as substantially all of such debt instruments have rates which fluctuate with changes in market rates. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities carried at fair value that are measured on a recurring basis.

7. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues both restricted share and option awards to employees and non-employee directors. Restricted share awards cliff vest on the third anniversary, while option share awards vest annually in 25% increments over four years. Stock option grant date fair values are determined at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo option valuation model with suboptimal exercise behavior. Changes in awards outstanding are summarized as follows:
| | Restricted shares | | Options | |
| | Shares | | Wtd Avg. Grant Price | | Shares | | Wtd Avg. Ex. Price | |
December 31, 2012 | | 50 | | $ | 31.35 | | 341 | | $ | 25.62 | |
Granted | | 58 | | 20.29 | | 68 | | 20.71 | |

June 30, 2013 | | 101 | | $ | 24.16 | | 386 | | $ | 24.46 | |
8. Earnings per Common Share
A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2012 | | 2011 | |
Basic weighted average outstanding shares | | 9,270 | | 9,255 | | 9,253 | | 9,265 | |
Add common equivalent shares representing shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive awards | | 78 | | 60 | | 79 | | 63 | |
Diluted weighted average number of shares | | 9,348 | | 9,315 | | 9,332 | | 9,328 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Anti-dilutive shares excluded from calculation | | 254 | | 178 | | 254 | | 218 | |
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance Programs
The Company bears significant insurance risk under its large-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program and its self-insured employee health program. Under the workers’ compensation insurance program, the Company bears risk up to $400 per incident, after which stop-loss coverage is maintained. The Company purchases stop-loss insurance for the employee health plan that places a specific limit, generally $300, on its exposure for any individual covered life.
Malpractice and general patient liability claims for incidents which may give rise to litigation have been asserted against the Company by various claimants. The claims are in various stages of processing and some may ultimately be brought to trial. The Company is aware of incidents that have occurred through June 30, 2013 that may result in the assertion of additional claims. The Company currently carries professional and general liability insurance coverage (on a claims made basis) for this exposure with no deductible. The Company also carries D&O coverage (also on a claims made basis) for potential claims against the Company’s directors and officers, including certain securities actions, with deductibles ranging from $100 to $250 per claim.
The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, the life cycle of claims, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated
9
Table of Contents
insurance-related liabilities and recoveries, if any, on a monthly basis and as required by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-24, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation of Insurance Claims and Related Insurance Recoveries, has recorded amounts due under insurance policies in other current assets, while recording the estimated carrier liability in other current liabilities. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Legal Proceedings & Investigations
The Company is currently, and from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its business, including claims for damages for personal injuries. In the opinion of management, after discussions with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of any of these ordinary course pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
As previously disclosed, four derivative complaints were filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, Kentucky, against the members of the Company’s board of directors (the Board) and chief financial officer. All four lawsuits named the Company as a nominal defendant and were consolidated into a single action. All of the complaints and the resulting consolidated complaint refer to an April 27, 2010 The Wall Street Journal article and the subsequent governmental investigations. On February 13, 2012, the independent directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 2, 2012, the Court entered an order granting the motion to dismiss and dismissing the complaint with prejudice. On November 1, 2012 the plaintiffs filed an appeal of the Court’s ruling with the Kentucky Court of Appeals. Briefing to the Court of Appeals is complete. In the meantime, the Board has received a demand letter dated July 17, 2013, from counsel for one of the derivative plaintiff shareholders. The letter states that the shareholder believes certain of the Company’s officers and directors violated their fiduciary duties based on allegations similar to those described in the consolidated complaint. The letter requests that the Board take appropriate action against the individuals in question. The Board is considering how to respond to the shareholder demand.
As previously disclosed, a fifth derivative complaint involving Richard W. Carey was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The lawsuit names the Company as a nominal defendant and is substantially duplicative of the derivative complaint pending in the Jefferson Circuit Court. The Court granted the defendants’ motion to stay the lawsuit pending further order of the Court.
The Company is unable to assess the probable outcome or potential liability, if any, arising from these unresolved matters.
10. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately 41.7% and 39.5%, respectively, and 39.1% and 38.8%, respectively. The change in rate for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to the first quarter of 2013 including a benefit resulting from the January 2, 2013 retroactive extension of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. Also impacting the change in the effective tax rate is the increase in permanent differences in relation to pre-tax income in addition to increases in our state income tax rates.
Certain tax authorities may periodically audit the Company. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that no significant uncertain tax positions require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company may from time to time be assessed interest and penalties by tax jurisdictions. Any such assessments historically have been immaterial to the Company’s financial results and are classified as other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2013. The Company had no material subsequent events requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. On July 19, 2013, the Company’s VN segment acquired certain assets of Indiana Home Care Network for approximately $12.5 million. The Company is currently working through a preliminary purchase price analysis, which at this time primarily includes goodwill, intangible assets and accounts receivable.

Critical Accounting Policies
Refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in 2013.
Operating Segments
We have two reportable segments, Visiting Nurse (VN) and Personal Care (PC), which operate locations in Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Indiana (in order of revenue significance). Reportable segments have been identified based upon how management has organized the business by services provided to customers and the criteria in ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
Our VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care. Approximately 93% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program, while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs. VN Medicare revenues include revenues from all Medicare sources including traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, whether paid on a per episode basis or a per visit basis.
Our PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes. These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis. Approximately 85% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.
Certain general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level have not been allocated to the segments.
Health Care Reform Legislation and Medicare Regulations
The reader is encouraged to review our detailed discussion of Health Care Reform Legislation and Medicare Regulations in the similarly titled section in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” along with the discussion under “Government Regulation” in Part I, Item 1, “Business” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2012. Additional developments since filing the Form 10-K include:
· All Medicare providers, including the Company, became subject to a 2% rate reduction as specified in the Budget Control Act of 2011, commonly referred to as “Sequestration”, which went into effect during the first quarter of 2013 for episodes ended after March 31, 2013. Sequestration reduced our revenues and pretax earnings during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 by $1.2 million and reduced our diluted EPS by $0.08.
· In April 2013, one of our fiscal intermediaries, Palmetto Government Benefits Administration (Palmetto), announced plans to temporarily limit certain providers’ ability to bill Request for Anticipated Payment (RAP) claims which advance partial funding to providers prior to submission of final claims following the end of the episode (RAP Suppression). As of the date of this filing, only two of our providers remain on RAP Suppression. We will continue to work with Palmetto regarding the release of these remaining two providers from RAP Suppression. The RAP Suppression and associated changes in our internal processing increased our accounts receivable by approximately $5.7 million (or approximately 9 days sales) as of June 30, 2013.
· On June 28, 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued the proposed rule for 2014. The proposed rule included the maximum rebasing cut in Medicare reimbursement rates (3.5% rate reduction in each of the years 2014-2017) allowable by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA), which was signed into law in March 2010. The rebasing cuts are in addition to other legislated cuts for that same period by the ACA. The 2014 proposed rule is currently open for comment. The final rule is expected to be released in late October 2013.
· As a result of these proposed 2014 rates, other legislated changes and our current mix of business, we currently expect our 2014 rates to reflect an effective rate cut ranging from 1.0% to 1.5%.
These matters may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Although we are formulating plans and developing appropriate courses of action related to these changes, there can be no assurance that such plans or courses of action will prove successful. Such changes may cause us to change our business model, increase costs or reduce our revenues in ways not currently contemplated by us, or may result in recognition of an impairment of our recorded goodwill or intangible assets.

Shareholder Litigation
See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain litigation. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters. However, the Company may incur on-going expenses, net of insurance recoveries, if any, related to defense of such complaints.
Seasonality
Our VN segment operations located in Florida normally experience higher admissions during the first quarter and lower admissions during the third quarter than in the other quarters due to seasonal population fluctuations.

Net service revenues increased year over year primarily as a result of volume growth in both our VN and PC segments, which was partially offset by the VN segment’s Medicare rate cut and Medicare Advantage shift. Refer to segment discussions for further detail.
Corporate expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 6.4% from 6.5% in the prior year primarily due to lower incentive accruals in 2013 as compared to 2012 due to current year performance.
The effective tax rate was approximately 41.7% in the second quarter of 2013, which increased from the 39.5% for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to a combination of increases in permanent differences compared to pre-tax income and estimated state tax rates.

Table of Contents
Visiting Nurse segment net service revenues increased by $0.4 million between years primarily due to a 2% increase in admissions and a 1% increase in re-certifications, partially offset by a 2% Medicare sequestration rate cut ($1.2 million) and a $0.7 million reduction due to the shift of certain Medicare Advantage plans from paying episodically to paying on a per visit basis.
Cost of service revenues grew 6% primarily due to a 4.2% increase in visits and a 1.5% increase in average wage rates. General and administrative expenses — salaries and benefits increased approximately $1.1 million primarily due to an increase in the size of our sales force, a smaller increase in branch-level administrative personnel costs and an increase of approximately 1.5% in average wage rates.
General and administrative expenses — other increased primarily due to an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts arising from the same quarter of the prior year having an unusually low provision, the mix shift of Medicare Advantage business from episodic to per-visit reimbursement and to a lesser degree a slow-down in episodic claims processing.
As a result, VN segment operating income before corporate expenses declined $3.8 million to $6.8 million from $10.6 million in 2012, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 10.3% in 2013 from 16.1% in 2012.

Net service revenues increased $1.1 million, to $20.4 million in 2013, from $19.3 million in 2012 primarily due to a 5% increase in billable hours. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of net service revenues decreased to 66.3% in the second quarter of 2013 from 69.9% in 2012 primarily due to lower workers compensation expense during the period.
Total general and administrative expenses as a percent of net service revenue increased slightly to 18.2% from 18.1% of net service revenues in 2013 and 2012, primarily due to slightly higher bad debt provision in the current period.
As a result, PC segment operating income before corporate expenses increased to $3.2 million from $2.3 million in 2012, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues increased to 15.6% in 2013 from 11.9% in 2012.

The year over year decline in revenue was primarily driven by unfavorable impact of Medicare Advantage changes and Medicare rate cuts in our VN segment, partially offset by volume growth. Refer to segment discussions for further detail.
Corporate expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 6.1% from 6.4% in the prior year primarily due to lower incentive accruals in 2013 as compared to 2012.
The effective tax rate was approximately 39.1% in the first six months of 2013, which increased from 38.8% for the same period in 2012 due primarily to a combination of increases in permanent differences compared to pre-tax income and estimated state tax rates.

Visiting Nurse segment net service revenues decreased by $1.3 million between years primarily due to a 1.6% increase in admissions, partially offset by a 2% Medicare sequestration rate cut ($1.5 million) and a $1.7 million reduction due to the shift of certain Medicare Advantage plans from paying episodically to paying on a per visit basis.
Cost of service revenues grew 4.2% primarily due to a 2.3% increase in visits and a 1.5% increase in average wage rates. General and administrative expenses — salaries and benefits increased approximately $1.2 million primarily due to an increase in the size of our sales force, a smaller increase in branch-level administrative personnel costs and an increase of approximately 1.5% in average wage rates.

General and administrative expenses — other increased primarily due to an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts arising from the same period of the prior year having an unusually low provision, the mix shift of Medicare Advantage business from episodic to per-visit reimbursement and to a lesser degree a slow-down in episodic claims processing.
As a result, VN segment operating income before corporate expenses declined $6.2 million to $15.2 million from $21.4 million in 2012, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 11.4% in 2013 from 15.9% in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Revolving Credit Facility
We have a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a $125 million credit line with a maturity date of December 2, 2015 and an “accordion” feature providing for potential future expansion of the Facility to $175 million. Borrowings (other than letters of credit) under the credit facility are made at either: a) the bank’s prime rate plus a margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, currently 1.25%) or b) LIBOR plus a margin (ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, 2.25% at June 30, 2013). The margin for prime rate or LIBOR borrowings is determined by our leverage. Borrowings under the Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all our tangible and intangible assets, and all our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors.
The weighted average prime rate-based interest rate was 4.50% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.53% and 2.72% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.30% to 0.50% on the average daily unused facility balance based on leverage. Borrowings are subject to various covenants including a multiple of 3.0 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA may include “Acquired EBITDA” from pro-forma acquisitions pursuant to a calculation rider, up to 50% of “Adjusted EBITDA,” as defined. Borrowings under the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of June 30, 2013, the formula permitted $82.2 million to be used against which we had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $5.5 million outstanding in connection with our self-insurance programs. As a result a total of $76.1 million was available for borrowing at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the Facility’s various financial covenants. Under the most restrictive of its covenants, we were required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $159.4 million at June 30, 2013. At such date, our net worth was approximately $210.7 million.
We believe that this facility plus cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operating needs for at least the next year. We will continue to evaluate additional capital, including possible debt and equity investments in the Company, to support a more rapid development of the business than would be possible with internal funds.
Cash Flows
Key elements to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were:
Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents (in thousands) | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Provided by (used in): | | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | 5,375 | | $ | 7,486 | |
Investing activities | | (1,301 | ) | (1,012 | ) |
Financing activities | | (567 | ) | (3,124 | ) |
Discontinued operations activities | | 1,753 | | 566 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 5,260 | | $ | 3,916 | |
2013
Net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from current period net income of $5.8 million plus certain non-cash items, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The decrease from 2012 is primarily due to a 2013 increase in accounts receivable due primarily to RAP Suppression related issues in our VN segment. Such issues also drove increases in accounts receivable days revenues outstanding, which was 58 at June 30, 2013 and 53 at December 31, 2012.
The cash used in investing activities was primarily due to capital expenditures.
21
Table of Contents
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased over the prior year period primarily due to cash used in 2012 for a $1.7 million stock redemption of 72,000 shares related to the previous distribution of shares to non-employee directors pursuant to the termination of the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan.
Net cash provided by discontinued operations was due to the $3.0 million in proceeds from sale of the Alabama agencies, which was partially offset by cash used in operating activities for the discontinued operations.
2012
Net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from current period net income of $9.5 million plus certain non-cash items, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable days revenues outstanding was 50 at June 30, 2012 and 46 at December 31, 2011 due to processing delays as well as prepayment Additional Data Requests from Palmetto Government Benefits Administration in our VN segment.
The cash used in investing activities was primarily due to capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased over the prior year period primarily due to cash used for a $1.7 million stock redemption of 72,000 shares related to the previous distribution of shares to non-employee directors pursuant to the termination of the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and repayment of a $1.2 million acquisition related seller note.
Impact of Inflation
Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on income during the past several years.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The information provided in some of the tables use certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has provided, in the supplemental information below, a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
EBITDA
EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S generally accepted accounting principles. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments.
Market Risk of Financial Instruments
Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates on long-term obligations.
At June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding amounts on its revolving credit facility and, therefore, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have no impact on annual pre-tax earnings due to higher interest expense.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures — As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Almost Family, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims for damages for personal injuries. In our opinion, after discussion with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of any of these pending ordinary course claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
As previously disclosed, four derivative complaints were filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, Kentucky, against the members of the Company’s board of directors and chief financial officer. All four lawsuits named the Company as a nominal defendant and were consolidated into a single action. All of the complaints and the resulting consolidated complaint refer to an April 27, 2010 The Wall Street Journal article and the subsequent governmental investigations. On February 13, 2012, the independent directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 2, 2012, the Court entered an order granting the motion to dismiss and dismissing the complaint with prejudice. On November 1, 2012 the plaintiffs filed an appeal of the Court’s ruling with the Kentucky Court of Appeals. Briefing to the Court of Appeals is complete. In the meantime, the Board has received a demand letter dated July 17, 2013, from counsel for one of the derivative plaintiff shareholders. The letter states that the shareholder believes certain of the Company’s officers and directors violated their fiduciary duties based on allegations similar to those described in the consolidated complaint. The letter requests that the Board take appropriate action against the individuals in question. The Board is considering how to respond to the shareholder demand.
As previously disclosed, a fifth derivative complaint involving Richard W. Carey was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The lawsuit names the Company as a nominal defendant and is substantially duplicative of the derivative complaint pending in the Jefferson Circuit Court. The Court granted the defendants’ motion to stay the lawsuit pending further order of the Court.
