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 nine months ended September 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”) Annual Report on 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 September 30, 2013, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 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. 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, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. 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.
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 $119 and $188 were capitalized in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Software development costs of approximately $524 and $465 were capitalized in the nine months ended September 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 | |
| | | | Certificates | | | | | | | |

Of total goodwill, $110,396 and $30,974 relates to the VN segment and the PC segment, respectively. Changes to goodwill include VN segment acquisition additions and adjustments related to a previous acquisition. Changes in other intangible assets relate to preliminary purchase allocations of current period

acquisitions. Amortization expense recognized on finite-lived intangible assets for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $26 and $19, respectively, and $71 and $52 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2013, respectively.
5. Revolving Credit Facility
At September 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 the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin (ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, 2.25% at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.53% and 2.72% for the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2013, the formula permitted $73.1 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 $66.7 million being available for use at September 30, 2013. As of September 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 $160.5 million at September 30, 2013. At such date, the Company’s net worth was approximately $213.7 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 | |
| | | | Wtd Avg. Grant | | | | Wtd Avg. Ex. | |
| | Shares | | Price | | Shares | | Price | |
December 31, 2012 | | 50 | | $ | 31.35 | | 341 | | $ | 25.62 | |
Granted | | 58 | | 20.29 | | 68 | | 20.71 | |
Vested or exercised | | (7 | ) | 42.72 | | (1 | ) | 4.28 | |

September 30, 2013 | | 101 | | $ | 24.16 | | 385 | | $ | 24.51 | |
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 | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | September 30, | | September 30, | |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Basic weighted average outstanding shares | | 9,302 | | 9,256 | | 9,269 | | 9,262 | |
Add common equivalent shares representing shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive awards | | 46 | | 59 | | 85 | | 67 | |
Diluted weighted average number of shares | | 9,348 | | 9,315 | | 9,354 | | 9,329 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Anti-dilutive shares excluded from calculation | | 378 | | 218 | | 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 September 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 Director and Officer (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 working on a response to the shareholder demand. As a further result of the demand from the plaintiff shareholder, the Company’s outside directors have filed a motion with the Court of Appeals asking the Court to dismiss the appeal as moot. That motion is fully briefed and awaits decision by the Court.
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. Acquisitions
On July 19, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of the Medicare-certified home health agencies owned by Indiana based Home Care Network for a purchase price of $12.5 million, consisting of $12.0 million in cash and $0.5 million in Almost Family, Inc. common stock. The cash portion of the transaction was funded from cash on hand. A preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted primarily in the allocation of $0.7 million to both accounts receivable and property plant and equipment with the remainder being allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. Adjustments to the current fair value estimates may occur in future periods as the process conducted for various valuations and assessments is finalized.
11. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately 39.5% and 39.5%, respectively, and 39.2% and 39.0%, respectively. The lower year to date income tax rates from continuing operations was primarily due to a benefit resulting from the January 2, 2013 retroactive extension of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit that was recognized in the first quarter of 2013, while 2012 included the favorable impact of certain tax planning strategies.

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.
12. Subsequent Events
In October of 2013, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Imperium Health Management, LLC, (Imperium) a Louisville, KY based, development-stage enterprise that provides strategic health management services to Accountable Care Organizations (ACO’s). The Company acquired a 61.5% interest in Imperium for a total of $5.8 million of which $3 million went into Imperium for its general corporate purposes including pursuit of its business plan. The transaction was funded from cash on hand. The purchase price is expected to be primarily allocated to goodwill.
On November 4, 2013, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the stock of Omni Home Health Holdings, Inc. (operating as SunCrest Healthcare) and subsidiaries, for approximately $75.5 million, subject to a working capital adjustment. The transaction will be primarily funded from the Company’s existing cash and borrowings from its senior secured revolving credit facility. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the year pending regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company expects the acquisition will add approximately $150 million in revenue across nine states, of which approximately $134 million will be classified in the Company’s VN segment, with the remainder classified in the PC segment. The acquisition includes new service areas in Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama, while expanding the Company’s existing geographic footprint in Florida, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

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, Indiana and Pennsylvania (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.
Discontinued Operations
When appropriate, we reclassify 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, we completed the sale of our only two Alabama locations, which operated in our VN segment. The operations and gain on sale related thereto were reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations excludes amounts attributable to discontinued operations.
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” including but not limited to 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 September 30, 2013 by $1.2 million and reduced our diluted EPS by $0.08. Similar amounts for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 were $3.0 million and $0.20, respectively.
· 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, none of our providers were on RAP Suppression.
· 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 November 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 ongoing 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, along with an acquisition during the third quarter in the VN segment, 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 increased to 6.9% from 5.9% in the prior year primarily due to $0.8 million in deal and transition costs incurred in 2013, up from $0.2 million in the prior year period, with the remainder primarily due to the reversal of incentives in the third quarter of 2012 which were accrued in the first half of 2012.
The effective tax rate was approximately 39.5% in the third quarter of 2013, which was unchanged from the third quarter of 2012.

The Indiana Home Care acquisition, which closed on July 19, 2013, increased net service revenues by $2.2 million and operating income before corporate expenses by $0.6 million.
Visiting Nurse segment net service revenues increased by $3.2 million, or 4.9%, from the prior year due to acquired and organic Medicare volume growth which combined to increase Medicare admissions and recertifications by 4.9% and 7.3%, respectively (both increased 2.2% organically). These increases were partially offset by a 2.0% Medicare sequestration rate cut ($1.2 million) and a $0.6 million reduction due to the shift of certain Medicare Advantage plans from paying episodically to paying on a per visit basis (the MA Shift).
Cost of service revenues grew 7.6% primarily due to an overall 6.8% increase in visits. General and administrative expenses — salaries and benefits increased approximately

$2.1 million primarily due to acquired and organic volume increases with the remainder due to a planned temporary increase in branch-level administrative personnel and an increase in the size of our sales force.
General and administrative expenses — other increased primarily due to an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts related to the MA Shift.
As a result, VN segment operating income before corporate expenses declined $1.7 million to $7.3 million from $9.0 million in 2012, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 10.8% in 2013 from 13.9% in 2012.

Net service revenues increased $1.8 million, or 9.2% to $21.0 million in 2013, from $19.2 million in 2012 due to a 9.7% volume increase in billable hours. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 68.6% in the third quarter of 2013 from 67.6% in 2012 primarily due to changes in mix related to faster growth in lower margin business.
Total general and administrative expenses as a percent of net service revenue increased to 19.2% from 17.8% of net service revenues in 2013 and 2012, primarily due to $0.4 million higher bad debt provision in the current period as the prior year period included a benefit while the current period expense includes a more normal level of expense.
As a result, PC segment operating income before corporate expenses decreased slightly to $2.6 million from $2.8 million in 2012, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 12.2% in 2013 from 14.7% in 2012.

The year over year increase in revenue was primarily driven by volume growth in our VN and PC segments, which was partially offset by Medicare rate cuts and the MA Shift in our VN segment. Refer to segment discussions for further detail.
Corporate expenses as a percent of revenue increased slightly to 6.4% from 6.2% in the prior year primarily due to higher levels of deal related costs.
The effective tax rate was approximately 39.2% in the first nine months of 2013, which increased slightly from the 39.0% for the same period in 2012.

The Indiana Home Care acquisition, which closed on July 19, 2013, increased net service revenues by $2.2 million and operating income before corporate expenses by $0.6 million.
Visiting Nurse segment net service revenues increased by $1.9 million due to organic and acquired volume growth which combined to increase Medicare admissions and recertifications by 3.1% and 5.0%, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a 2.0% Medicare sequestration rate cut ($3.0 million) and a $2.4 million reduction due to the MA Shift.
Cost of service revenues grew 5.3% primarily due to a 4.2% increase in visits. General and administrative expenses — salaries and benefits increased approximately $3.3 million primarily due to the aforementioned organic and acquired volume increases with the remainder due to an increase in the size of our sales force and a planned temporary increase in branch-level administrative personnel.
General and administrative expenses — other increased primarily due to an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts relative to having an unusually low provision from the same period of the prior year with the remainder due to additional provision related to the MA shift.

Cost of service revenues as a percentage of net service revenues decreased slightly to 68.1% in the third quarter of 2013 from 68.3% in 2012 primarily due to lower workers compensation expense in the current year.
Total general and administrative expenses as a percent of net service revenue increased to 19.1% in the current period from 18.6% in the 2012 period primarily due to $0.5 million higher bad debt provision in the current period as the prior year period included a benefit, while the current period expense includes a more normal level of expense.
As a result, PC segment operating income before corporate expenses increased to $7.7 million from $7.6 million in 2012, while operating income before corporate expenses increased $0.2 million, or 2.1%.

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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.53% and 2.72% for the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2013, the formula permitted $73.1 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 $66.7 million was available for borrowing at September 30, 2013. As of September 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 $160.5 million at September 30, 2013. At such date, our net worth was approximately $213.7 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were:
Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents (in thousands) | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Provided by (used in): | | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | 14,247 | | $ | 13,653 | |
Investing activities | | (13,636 | ) | (2,036 | ) |
Financing activities | | (589 | ) | (3,124 | ) |
Discontinued operations activities | | 1,954 | | 530 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 1,976 | | $ | 9,023 | |
2013
Net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from current period net income of $7.9 million plus certain non-cash items, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase from 2012 is primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable days revenues outstanding, which was 50 at September 30, 2013 and 53 at December 31, 2012.
The cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the Indiana Home Care acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2013, with the remainder due to capital expenditures.
21
Table of Contents
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 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 in the second quarter of 2013, 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 $13.6 million plus certain non-cash items, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable days revenues outstanding was 52 at September 30, 2012 and 46 at December 31, 2011 due to processing delays as well as prepayment Additional Data Requests (ADR) 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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 September 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 September 30, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third 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 working on a response to the shareholder demand. As a further result of the demand from the plaintiff shareholder, the Company’s outside directors have filed a motion with the Court of Appeals asking the Court to dismiss the appeal as moot. That motion is fully briefed and awaits decision by the Court.
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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Information regarding risk factors appears in our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012, under the heading “Special Caution Regarding Forward — Looking Statements” and in the Form 10-K Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
As partial consideration for the acquisition of the assets of the Indiana Home Care Network operated by Home Health Holdings, LLP completed on July 18, 2013, the Registrant issued $500,000 in value of Registrant’s common stock, i.e. 26,035 shares. The per share value of the common stock issued was based on the average closing price of the Registrant’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq for the 10 trading days immediately before the public announcement of the acquisition transaction. The common stock is “restricted stock” as defined in rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and subject to a two-year contractual holding period. The Registrant is relying on an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, which exemption the Registrant believes is available due in part to the facts that the placement involved no general solicitation, transfer of the shares is restricted and the status of Home Health Holdings, LLP as an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
