CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All $ in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Medical Health Card Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Health Card") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pharmacy Associates, Inc. ("PAI"), Interchange PMP, Inc. ("PMP"), Centrus Corporation ("Centrus"), National Medical Health Card IPA, Inc. ("IPA"), Specialty Pharmacy Care, Inc. ("Specialty"), Integrail, Inc. ("Integrail"), NMHCRX Mail Order, Inc. ("Mail Order"), NMHCRX Contracts, Inc. ("Contracts"), Ascend Specialty Pharmacy Services, Inc. (See Note 3) ("Ascend") and PBM Technology Inc. ("PBM Tech"). Also included on a consolidated basis are the accounts of NMHC Funding, LLC ("Funding"), a limited liability company of which the Company and its subsidiaries are the owners of all of the membership interests. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Company" or "Health Card" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and substantially in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, the December 31, 2003 and 2002 unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. In the opinion of the Company's management, the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
For information concerning the Company's significant accounting policies, reference is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003 (the "Annual Report").
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income. While SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. The Company adopted SFAS No. 148 effective December 31, 2002.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based compensation:

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On July 31, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Portland Professional Pharmacy ("PPRX"), Portland Professional Pharmacy Associates ("PRXA", and together with PPRX, "PPP") and the individual shareholders (the "PPP Shareholders") to purchase all of the shares of PPP for $3,150 (the "PPP Acquisition"). PPP provides specialty-pharmacy services in a broad range of areas, including women's health, pediatric care, men's health and transplant. Funds for the PPP Acquisition were supplied by the Company's revolving credit facility that was put in place in January 2002 (see below). The Company intends to position PPP as a preferred provider with PPP's target markets while focusing on the extension of their specialty services to the Company's PBM division.
The purchase price for the stock of PPP was $3,150. At the time of acquisition, PPP had approximately $1,664 of assets which included $177 of cash, $889 of accounts receivable, $539 of inventory and $59 of property and equipment. PPP also had approximately $1,423 of liabilities which included $609 of bank debt, which was paid off at closing, and $814 of miscellaneous payables. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of PPP's operations were included in the consolidated financial statements commencing with the acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired was $2,973, which consists of the following components (subject to a final formal valuation of the assets): (i) customer relationships valued at $295, which will be amortized over seven (7) years;
8
(ii) employment and non-compete agreements valued at $100 each, which will be amortized over four (4) years; (iii) the Portland Professional Pharmacy trade name valued at $100 which will be amortized over four (4) years; and (iv) goodwill of $2,378, which will not be amortized for book purposes per SFAS 142. For tax purposes, the Company has made an election which will allow it to amortize the goodwill and other intangibles over fifteen years. In addition, the Company agreed to pay to the PPP Shareholders up to $7,000 over a three-year period if the PPP business achieved certain financial targets. To date, $322 has been earned and accrued.
In connection with the PPP Acquisition, several members of PPP's management team have joined the Company as employees, and have been granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock, under the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended. As of August 1, 2003, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ascend Specialty Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("Ascend") acquired all of the shares of PPP. Each of PRXA and PPRX continues to operate under their respective names, as subsidiaries of Ascend, in the state of Maine.
As of November 1, 2002, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Integrail Acquisition Corp., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Health Solutions, Ltd. ("HSL"), a New York corporation, and certain of its security holders (together with HSL, the "Sellers"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Health Card acquired substantially all of the assets of the Integrail division of HSL's operations, for a purchase price of $1,400. Integrail provides software and analytical tools in the area of informatics which allows for the blending of medical and pharmacy data to predict future outcomes.
Half of the $1,400 purchase price was paid at the closing directly to the Sellers, and half was deposited into escrow (the "Escrowed Amount") as security for the performance of certain indemnification obligations of the Sellers. The Company acquired approximately $500 of HSL's assets which included $158 of property and equipment, $225 of software, $76 of prepaid expenses, and $41 of accounts receivable. The Company also agreed to assume approximately $500 of liabilities related to Integrail which included $166 of debt under capital leases, $75 of miscellaneous payables, and $259 due to HSL for prior equipment and services provided to Integrail by HSL. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Integrail's operations were included in the consolidated financial statements commencing with the acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired was $1,719, which consists of the following components: (i) software and company know how valued at $797, which will be amortized over three (3) years; and (ii) goodwill of $922, which will not be amortized for book purposes per SFAS 142. For tax purposes, the goodwill and other intangibles will be amortized over fifteen years. Funds for this transaction were supplied by the Company's revolving credit facility. With the achievement of certain operational milestones for the first 12 months specified in the Agreement, the entire Escrowed Amount was released to the Sellers in November 2003.
The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), dated as of January 29, 2002, with HSL, HSL Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Sub"), and the security holders of HSL named therein, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain assets of HSL relating to the pharmacy benefit management business (PBM) conducted by HSL under the name "Centrus" (the "Centrus Acquisition"). The aggregate purchase price of the Centrus Acquisition was $40,000 in cash. The Company acquired approximately $1,400 of HSL's assets which included $900 of property and equipment and $500 of software. The Company also agreed to assume approximately $1,400 of HSL's liabilities relating to the Centrus business which included $1,100 of rebates due to sponsors, $100 of

capital leases, and $200 of miscellaneous payables. The Centrus Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Centrus' operations were included in the consolidated financial statements commencing with the acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired was $40,672, which consists of the following components: (i) customer relationships valued at $2,415, which will be amortized over five (5) years; (ii) an employment agreement valued at $83, which will be amortized over two (2) years: (iii) non-compete contracts valued at $76, which will be amortized over four (4) years; and (iv) goodwill of $38,098 which will not be amortized for book purposes per SFAS 142. For tax purposes, the goodwill and other intangibles will be amortized over fifteen years. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay HSL as additional purchase price up to $4,000 over a period of three (3) years if the acquired Centrus business achieves certain financial performance targets during the two-year period following the Closing. The financial performance targets were achieved during the first year and $2,000 has been earned. Of this amount, $1,000 was paid in May 2003 and another $1,000 will be paid in May 2004. As of the current date, it appears, subject to final adjustments, that the minimum performance targets for the second year will be achieved during the second year which would obligate the Company to pay up to a maximum of an additional $1,000 in May 2004 and $1,000 in May 2005.
On January 29, 2002, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $40,000 secured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with HFG Healthco-4 LLC, a specialty finance company. In connection with the Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have agreed to transfer, on an on-going basis, their accounts receivable to Funding. Funding utilizes those receivables as collateral to secure borrowings under the Facility. The Facility has a three year term, provides for borrowings of up to $40,000 at the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.40% (3.52% at December 31, 2003) and is secured by receivables and other assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as defined. Borrowings of $28,700 under the Facility were used to finance part of the purchase price of the Centrus Acquisition and will also be used by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries for working capital purposes and future acquisitions in support of its business plan. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2003 was approximately $8,774, which was all classified as short term debt. The Facility requires the Company to remain in compliance with certain financial and other covenants. The financial maintenance covenants include: 1) consolidated net worth (total assets less total liabilities), 2) consolidated tangible net worth (consolidated net worth less intangible assets), 3) quarterly EBITDA, 4) accounts receivable turnover (revenue divided by accounts receivable), 5) debt to consolidated net worth, 6) current assets to current liabilities, 7) consolidated interest coverage ratio (EBITDA less capital expenditures divided by interest expense, 8) annual capital expenditures, and 9) debt service coverage (EBITDA divided by interest expense plus short term debt excluding borrowings under the Facility). Other covenants under the Facility restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends, incur senior debt, and sell assets other than in the ordinary course. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2003.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of January 1, 2002, the Company had eliminated the majority of its historical related party service transactions with the exception being rent and some administrative services. For the periods presented, certain general, administrative and other expenses reflected in the financial statements
12
include allocations of certain corporate expenses from affiliates, which management believes were made on a reasonable basis.
General and administrative expenses related to transactions with affiliates included in the statement of income were $235 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and $223 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Included in the statement of income for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were general and administrative expenses related to transactions with affiliates of $478 and $520, respectively.
Due from affiliates at June 30, 2003 included a note from a company affiliated by common ownership. As of December 31, 2003, the entire balance due from this affiliate, including accrued interest, was paid. This note bore interest at 8.5% per annum, payable quarterly. The note was collateralized by 1,022,758 shares of $.001 par value common stock of the Company registered in the name of the Company's Chairman of the Board and was secured by his personal guarantee.
On February 8, 2001, the President gave to the Company his Promissory Note in the amount of $34 as evidence of the loan. On April 12, 2002, the Promissory Note was amended and the Company agreed to increase the loan to $100. The loan bears interest at 8%, and was due on April 25, 2003. The interest rate was lowered effective July 1, 2002 to the rate at which the Company borrows money. The repayment obligation under the Promissory Note, including accrued interest has been satisfied through a set-off from the bonus paid to the President in July 2003 as part of his annual compensation.
In connection with a potential bonus, to be earned pursuant to an employment agreement dated September 30, 2002, between the president of the Company's mail order operations and the Company, the Company loaned him $250 as an advance against the potential bonus. The loan was evidenced by a promissory note made in favor of the Company. The loan bore an interest rate of 9% and was due and payable on September 30, 2003 in the event the bonus was not earned. A bonus has been paid and the loan repaid as of January 2004.
The Company currently occupies office space at 26 Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington, New York 11050 (the "Leased Premises"). The Company subleases the Leased Premises from an affiliate of the Chairman of the Board (the "Affiliate"). The Affiliate has the right to purchase the Leased Premises from the landlord upon expiration of this lease in March 2005 for a purchase price of $1. The Affiliate subleases a portion of the Leased Premises to the Company (the "Lease"). Additional space is currently being built in the Leased Premises which will allow the Company to reconfigure its existing space and to move all of its employees in Port Washington into contiguous space. As of October 23, 2003, the Company and the Affiliate amended the Lease. Effective when the space is ready for occupancy, the Company will lease additional square footage in the Leased Premises. The total square footage leased by the Company at that time will be 34,270. The annual rent will then be $531 per annum plus expenses related to real estate taxes, utilities and maintenance which are paid directly to the entities to whom payment must be made. Annual rent increases will be based upon the Consumer Price Index plus 2.5% subject to a maximum annual cap of 3.5%. The lease expires on December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has early termination rights which it may exercise by delivery of a notice to the landlord 60 days prior to the end of the December 31, 2008 lease year. In consideration of such early termination rights, the Company would pay to the Affiliate the rent that would otherwise be payable by the Company to the Affiliate for the succeeding 30 months, subject to adjustments if the Affiliate is able to lease the Leased Premises to another party during said 30 month period. Leasehold improvements made to this facility were $1,214 during the six months ended December 31, 2003.

8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND PHARMACIES
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2003, approximately 39% and 40%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue of the Company was from two plan sponsors, MVP Health Plan, Inc. and Boston Medical Center HealthNet, administering multiple plans. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 approximately 46% and 42%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue of the Company was from two plan sponsors administering multiple plans. Amounts due from these sponsors as of December 31, 2003 approximated $11.4 million.
For the three months ended December 31, 2003 approximately 46% of cost of claims was from three pharmacy chains. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, approximately 50% of the cost of claims were from three pharmacy chains. For the six months ended December 31, 2003 approximately 33% of cost of claims was from three pharmacy chains. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, approximately 49% of the cost of claims were from three pharmacychains. Amounts payable to the three pharmacy chains at December 31, 2003 were approximately $23.2 million.
9. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
During the six months ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company paid $405 and $631 in interest and $1,308 and $1,506 in income taxes, respectively. In a non-cash transaction, the Company issued 41,668 shares of its common stock, valued at $250, as additional compensation to the shareholders of PAI in August 2002.
10. LITIGATION
An action was commenced against the Company on April 30, 2002 by Midwest Health Plan Inc. ("MHP") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the parties entered into a contract dated July 1999 (the "Agreement"), and further alleges that the Company has overcharged MHP for the administration of prescription benefit services in contravention to the terms of the Agreement and breached its fiduciary duties by making a profit. MHP is seeking $3 million dollars in damages. The Company filed an answer and counterclaim on June 12, 2002. In the counterclaim, the Company claimed damages in excess of $2.8 million based on Midwest's failure to pay under a contract. In late June 2002, Midwest agreed to make two payments in the amount of $1.34 million and $1.36 million to partially settle the Company's claims against Midwest. Midwest has now added a fiduciary duty claim. The Company continues to have counterclaims totaling over $200,000 against Midwest for Midwest's failure to pay the amounts it had agreed to pay Health Card for goods and services. The Company's motion for partial summary judgment and motion to dismiss the fiduciary duty claim is currently scheduled to be heard in February, 2004. The court has not set a trial date. Discovery closed September 30, 2003. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company is unable to provide an estimate of any particular loss, if any, which may be associated with the MHP claims.
11. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company entered into an amended and restated preferred stock purchase agreement, dated as of November 26, 2003, with New Mountain Partners, L.P. (the "purchase agreement"). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company agreed, subject to various conditions, to issue to New Mountain Partners a total of 6,956,522 shares of series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $80,000. Once certain conditions have been met or waived,
14
including receipt of certain stockholder approvals sought by a definitive proxy statement to be distributed to the Company's stockholders, the Company will be obligated to complete the sale of the series A preferred stock to New Mountain Partners and to use approximately $50,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the series A preferred stock to fund the purchase price for a tender offer for up to 4,545,455 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock at $11.00 per share. Bert Brodsky, the chairman of the board of directors, and certain stockholders related to him, currently hold (assuming the exercise of 330,000 options and warrants held by Mr. Brodsky), in the aggregate, approximately 60% of the Company's outstanding common stock and have agreed to tender 4,448,900 shares, or approximately 54% of the Company's outstanding common stock, held by them, into the tender offer.
If the tender offer is fully subscribed by the Company's stockholders and assuming the exercise of 330,000 options and warrants held by Mr. Brodsky, after the tender offer is completed, New Mountain Partners will own securities that are initially convertible into approximately 65% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock and prior to conversion of the series A preferred stock will be entitled to cast that number of votes that is equal to approximately 61% of the Company's aggregate voting power. Following the closing of the sale of the series A preferred stock and the tender offer (collectively, the "Contemplated Transactions"), New Mountain Partners will initially be entitled to nominate and elect 60% of the members of the Company's board of directors.
The Company will primarily use the remaining proceeds from the issuance and sale of the series A preferred stock of approximately $22 million, excluding expenses related to the closing of the Contemplated Transactions, for potential acquisitions and working capital purposes. However, except under certain circumstances, the Company will be prohibited from using such proceeds to pay any outstanding amounts due under the Company's outstanding credit facility for six months following the closing of the Contemplated Transactions.
The preferred stock will provide for an initial annual cash dividend equal to 7% of the investment amount, which decreases to 3.5% after the fifth anniversary of issuance. The preferred stock will be convertible into common stock at a price of $11.50 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately 7 million shares of the Company's common stock.
The series A preferred stock may be redeemed at the Company's option subsequent to the fourth anniversary of its issuance, subject to certain conditions. After the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the series A preferred stock, each holder of shares of series A preferred stock may require the Company to redeem all or a part of that holder's shares of series A preferred stock.
Upon the closing of the Contemplated Transactions, the Company will record a non-cash charge to net income available to holders of the Company's common stock for a beneficial conversion feature related to the series A preferred stock, which is convertible into the Company's common stock at $11.50 per share. Such non-cash charge will reflect the difference between the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the closing of the Contemplated Transactions and the effective conversion price of $11.29 (after deducting the closing payment of $1,450,000 payable to New Mountain Partners) multiplied by 6,956,522, the number of shares of the Company's common stock into which the series A preferred stock held by New Mountain Partners is convertible. The maximum amount of the beneficial conversion feature is capped at $80,000,003 and it will be charged if the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the closing of the Contemplated Transactions is equal to or greater than $22.79 per share.

ITEM 2—MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2002
Revenue increased $12.9 million, or approximately 9%, from $151.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002, to $163.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Revenue recognized for contracts recorded on a gross revenue basis was $150.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and $163.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Revenue recognized for contracts recorded on a net revenue basis was $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The specific terms of the contracts that Health Card enters into with its sponsors will determine whether Health Card recognizes the gross revenue related to the cost of the prescriptions filled. For those contracts that Health Card recognizes net revenue, there is no impact on gross profit since neither the prescription revenue nor the related costs of the prescriptions is recorded. Health Card includes in revenue only those co-payments collected in its mail order facility in Miramar, Florida. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, there was approximately $125,000 of co-payments included in revenue versus zero for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Co-payments retained by pharmacies on prescriptions filled for Health Card's members and not included in Health Card's revenue were $51.0 million and $49.4 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Of the $12.9 million increase in revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2003, $4.5 million was due to the inclusion of PPP which was included in the revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, but not in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. Another approximate $28.3 million of the increase was due to revenue related to new sponsors or new services offered during the quarter ended December 31, 2003 excluding contracts recorded on a net revenue basis. An additional increase of approximately $23.6 million was attributable to other existing sponsors related to, among other things, higher costs for pharmaceuticals, availability of new drugs, plan participant growth and an increase in the average number of claims per plan participant, as well as changes in the amount of rebates retained and other miscellaneous revenue items. These revenue increases were offset by revenue decreases related to: 1) the termination of existing customer contracts including a major sponsor, which terminated its contract with Health Card effective December 31, 2002, leading to a reduction in revenue of approximately $41.1 million, and 2) the Company recognized on a net revenue basis one contract during the three months ended December 31, 2003 that was recognized on a gross revenue basis for one month during the three months ended December 31, 2002. Due to a change in contract terms effective November 1, 2002, this customer's revenue was recognized on a net basis from that point. The revenue impact of this change was a reduction in gross revenue of approximately $2.4 million.
Cost of claims increased $8.9 million, or approximately 6%, from $139.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002, to $148.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. PPP accounted for $3.7 million of the increase. Increases in cost of claims totalingapproximately $48.3 million related to the activity of new sponsors as well as the growth in existing sponsors were offset by the factors described in the previous paragraph, namely, the loss of sponsors which reduced cost of claims by approximately $39.4 million and the recognizing of a certain contract on a net revenue basis which reduced cost of claims by approximately $2.4 million. In addition, cost of claims was reduced by the fact that there was an increase of $1.3 million in gross rebates received, which is treated as a reduction in cost of claims. As a percentage of revenue, cost of claims decreased from 92.3% to 90.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. These same factors contributed to the declining costs as a percentage of revenue. The terminated major sponsor is a managed care organization. Industry-wide, managed care clients have a greater cost of
16
claims, and consequently a lower gross margin, than other types of business in the PBM industry. While not all of the revenue associated with this sponsor was replaced by new business, the new business, for the most part was not managed care, so consequently the cost of claims on the new business was lower than on the business it replaced. In addition, the contracts recognized on a net revenue basis decreased the overall Company costs as a percentage of revenue due to the cost not being recognized on the contracts recorded on the net revenue basis. The acquisition of PPP in July 2003 also had an impact in reducing the cost of claims as specialty pharmacy distribution typically generates lower cost of claims than a PBM.
Gross profit increased from $11.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 to $15.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003; a $4.0 million, or 34.5%, increase. In addition to PPP adding approximately $800,000 to gross profit, the replacement of the terminated major sponsor with new greater margin business led to greater gross profits for the Company,. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 7.7% to 9.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The contracts the Company recognizes on a net revenue basis have the effect of improving the Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenue due to the fact that recorded revenue and cost is lower since only the administrative fees related to these contracts are recorded. Competitive pressures which have led to a decline in some prices that the Company charges its sponsors, have had the effect of partially offsetting the increases in gross margin described above.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million, or approximately 36%, from $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 to $11.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Approximately $2.1 million, or 71%, of this increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is related to new entities which were part of the Company in the three months ended December 31, 2003 which were not part of the Company during all of the three months ended December 31, 2002. The services provided by these entities include specialty pharmacy distribution through the Company's acquisition of PPP as of July 31, 2003 (see Note 3 of Item 1), predictive modeling and consulting services through the Company's acquisition of Integrail as of November 1, 2002 (see Note 3 of Item 1), and mail order distribution through the Company's owned facility in Miramar, Florida as of July, 2003. The major components of the $2.1 million increase in expenses related to new services was: 1) salaries and benefits—approximately $822,000, 2) postage and supplies—approximately $174,000, 3) equipment rental—approximately $165,000, and 4) depreciation and amortization—approximately $152,000.
General and administrative expenses charged by affiliates increased approximately $12,000, or 5%, year-over-year from approximately $223,000 to approximately $235,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The increase reflects escalations on existing rental properties rather than an increase in services provided.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased from 5.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 to 7.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The main reason for the increase is the impact of recognizing more contracts on a net revenue basis, as that has the effect of dividing these same expenses over a smaller gross revenue base. In addition, the three new services described above also led to an increase in this percentage, particularly mail order which led to an increase of 0.7% due to the fact that resources were required to be hired in advance of the revenue.
For the three months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, the Company recognized other expense, net, of approximately $202,000 and $87,000, respectively. The components of the approximate $115,000 decrease in net expense were an approximate $151,000 decrease in interest expense incurred on the Company's revolving credit facility (See Note 3 of Item 1) and an approximate $4,000 increase in other income related to the amortization of a deferred gain on a sale leaseback.
17
These increases were partially offset by an approximate $40,000 decrease in interest income due to the affiliated company note being repaid as of July 31, 2003 (See Note 7 of Item 1). The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the Company's increased cash generated from operations and the fact that interest rates on the Company's revolving credit facility have declined year over year.
Income before the provision for income taxes increased approximately $1.0 million, or 36%, from approximately $2.8 million, for the quarter ended December 31, 2002, to approximately $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The primary factors leading to the increase were the gross profit increase described above and the reduction in interest expense offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the new activities.
The effective tax rate was approximately 41% for both periods presented. The tax rate of 41% represents the Company's estimated tax rate for the full fiscal year.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $2.2 million as compared to approximately $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2002; a 35% increase. Earnings per diluted share increased by $0.05, to $0.25 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2002
Revenue increased $16.4 million, or approximately 6%, from $298.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002, to $314.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Revenue recognized for contracts recorded on a gross revenue basis was $297.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and $313.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Revenue recognized for contracts recorded on a net revenue basis was $0.5 million for thesix months ended December 31, 2002 and $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The specific terms of the contracts that Health Card enters into with its sponsors will determine whether Health Card recognizes the gross revenue related to the cost of the prescriptions filled. For those contracts that Health Card recognizes net revenue, there is no impact on gross profit since neither the prescription revenue nor the related costs of the prescriptions is recorded. Health Card includes in revenue only those co-payments collected in its mail order facility. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, there was approximately $161,000 of co-payments included in revenue versus zero for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Co-payments retained by pharmacies on prescriptions filled for Health Card's members and not included in Health Card's revenue were $97.5 million and $74.3 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Of the $16.4 million increase in revenue in the six months ended December 31, 2003, $7.3 million was due to the inclusion of PPP which was included in the revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2003, but not in the six months ended December 31, 2002. Another approximate $51.2 million of the increase was due to revenue related to new sponsors or new services offered during the six months ended December 31, 2003 excluding contracts recorded on a net revenue basis. An additional increase of approximately $67.7 million was attributable to other existing sponsors related to, among other things, higher costs for pharmaceuticals, availability of new drugs, plan participant growth and an increase in the average number of claims per plan participant, as well as changes in other miscellaneous revenue items. These revenue increases were offset by revenue decreases related to: 1) the termination of existing customer contracts including a major sponsor, which terminated its contract with Health Card effective December 31, 2002, leading to a reduction in revenue of approximately $97.3 million, 2) the Company recognized on a net revenue basis one contract during the six months ended December 31, 2003 that was recognized on a gross revenue basis for four months during the six months ended December 31, 2002. Due to a change in contract terms effective November 1, 2002, this customer's revenue was recognized on a net basis from that point. The revenue impact of this change was a reduction in gross revenue of approximately $9.2 million, and 3) rebates payable to the Company's sponsors increased by $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31,
18
2003 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2002. Since these rebates are treated as a reduction in revenue, this led to a reduction in the overall year-over-year revenue increase.
Cost of claims increased $9.7 million, or approximately 4%, from $275.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002, to $285.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. PPP accounted for $6.0 million of the increase. Increases in cost of claims totaling approximately $110.1 million related to the activity of new sponsors as well as the growth in existing sponsors were offset by the factors described in the previous paragraph, namely, the loss of sponsors which reduced cost of claims by approximately $92.6 million and the recognizing of a certain contract on a net revenue basis which reduced cost of claims by approximately $9.2 million. In addition, cost of claims was reduced by the fact that there was an increase of $4.6 million in gross rebates received, which is treated as a reduction in cost of claims. As a percentage of revenues, cost of claims decreased from 92.4% to 90.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. These same factors contributed to the declining costs as a percentage of revenue. The terminated major sponsor is a managed careorganization. Industry-wide, managed care clients have a greater cost of claims, and consequently a lower gross margin, than other types of business in the PBM industry. While not all of the revenue associated with this sponsor was replaced by new business, the new business, for the most part was not managed care, so consequently the cost of claims on the new business was lower than on the business it replaced. In addition, the contracts recognized on a net revenue basis decrease the overall Company costs as a percentage of revenue due to the cost not being recognized on the contracts recorded on the net revenue basis. The acquisition of PPP in July 2003 also had an impact in reducing the cost of claims as specialty pharmacy distribution typically generates lower cost of claims than a PBM.
Gross profit increased from $22.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to $29.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003, a $6.7 million, or 29.5%, increase. In addition to PPP adding $1.3 million to gross profit, the replacement of the terminated major sponsor with new greater margin business led to greater gross profits for the Company.. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 7.6% to 9.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The contracts the Company recognizes on a net revenue basis have the effect of improving the Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenue due to the fact that recorded revenue and cost is lower since only the administrative fees related to these contracts are recorded. Competitive pressures which have led to a decline in some prices that the Company charges its sponsors has had the effect of partially offsetting the increases in gross margin described above.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $5.4 million, or approximately 31%, from $17.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to $22.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Approximately $4.1 million, or 78%, of this increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is related to new entities which were part of the Company in the six months ended December 31, 2003 which were not part of the Company during all of the six months ended December 31, 2002. The services provided by these entities include specialty pharmacy distribution through the Company's acquisition of PPP, predictive modeling and consulting services through the Company's acquisition of Integrail, and mail order distribution through the Company's owned facility in Miramar, Florida. The major components of the $4.1 million increase in expenses related to new services was: 1) salaries and benefits—approximately $1,643,000, 2) postage and supplies—approximately $315,000, 3) equipment rental—approximately $184,000, 4) travel and entertainment—approximately $184,000, and 5) depreciation and amortization—approximately $227,000.
Of the remaining approximate 22% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2003, the majority of the increase is related to the increased revenue and volume in the PBM. Salary and benefits related to new hires, temporary help, travel and entertainment, and commissions to internal sales people as well as external brokers have all increased year over year due to the increased volume of activity.
19
General and administrative expenses charged by affiliates decreased approximately $42,000, or 8%, year-over-year from approximately $520,000 to approximately $478,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The decrease reflects the fact that these related party services are continuing to be replaced by Company employees.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased from 5.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to 7.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The main reason for the increase is the impact of recognizing more contracts on a net revenue basis, as that has the effect of dividing these same expenses over a smaller gross revenue base. In addition, the three new services described above also led to an increase in this percentage particularly mail order which led to an increase of 0.6% due to the fact that resources were required to be hired in advance of the revenue.
For the six months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, the Company recognized other expense, net, of approximately $427,000 and $262,000, respectively. The components of the approximate $165,000 decrease in net expense were an approximate $226,000 decrease in interest expense incurred on the Company's revolving credit facility (See Note 3 of Item 1) and an approximate $4,000 increase in other income related to the amortization of a deferred gain on a sale leaseback. These increases were partially offset by an approximate $65,000 decrease in interest income due to the affiliated company note being repaid as of July 31, 2003 (See Note 7 of Item 1). The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the Company's increased cash generated from operations and the fact that interest rates on the Company's revolving credit facility have declined year over year.
Income before the provision for income taxes increased approximately $1.5 million, or 29%, from approximately $5.1 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2002, to approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The primary factors leading to the increase were the gross profit increase described above and the reduction in interest expense offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the new activities.
The effective tax rate was approximately 41% for both periods presented. The tax rate of 41% represents the Company's estimated tax rate for the full fiscal year.
Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $3.9 million as compared to approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002; a 29% increase. Earnings per diluted share increased by $0.07, to $0.45 for the six months ended December 31, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures and operating expenses, including cost of pharmaceuticals, software and hardware upgrades and the funding of accounts receivable. Effective July 2003, the Company also requires cash to carry inventory in its mail order and specialty pharmacy facilities. The Company also requires cash to execute its strategy of pursuing acquisitions of other PBM companies or of companies providing related services. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficit of $31.5 million as compared to a working capital deficit of $32.6 million as of June 30, 2003. The primary reason for the improvement in working capital was the profitability generated by the Company during the six months ended December 31, 2003. This improvement was achieved even after the $3.6 million in cash paid for the acquisition of PPP and the $1.3 million current liability incurred for additional consideration to be paid in connection with the Centrus and PPP acquisitions. Thesetransactions increased goodwill and other intangible assets which are long-term assets, while decreasing working capital. The Company has now acquired five companies since July 2000 utilizing primarily cash. This has had the effect of increasing the Company's working capital deficits until sufficient profitability is generated to pay back the cost of the acquisitions. In addition, the Company's revolving credit facility is treated all as a short-term liability per generally accepted accounting principles even though its terms do not expire until January 2005.
20
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The main factor that led to the $8.3 million increase in cash provided by operations was the $7.1 million increase in the change in accounts payables and accrued expenses.
Historically, the timing of the Company's accounts receivable and accounts payable has generally been a net source of cash from operating activities. This is the result of the terms of trade in place with plan sponsors on the one hand, and the Company's pharmacy network on the other hand. These terms generally lead to the Company's payments to participating pharmacies being slower than its corresponding collections from plan sponsors. The Company believes that this situation is not unusual in the pharmacy benefit management industry and expects to operate on similar terms for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that such terms of trade will continue in the future and, if they were to change materially, the Company could require additional working capital financing. Furthermore, if such terms of trade were to change materially, and/or if the Company were unable to obtain additional working capital financing, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The primary differences in the two periods were the acquisition of PPP and the repayment of affiliate loans in the period ended December 31, 2003, and a $3.2 million increase in capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2002. The net cash outlay for PPP was $3.6 million, representing the initial payment of $3.2 million to the Sellers, $609,000 to pay off PPP's bank debt plus $64,000 of related expenses. Cash in the amount of approximately $177,000 was assumed in the acquisition. In addition, $322,000 has been accrued as additional purchase price related to an earn-out provision.
During the six months ended December 31, 2003 the Company repaid a net of approximately $6.9 million under its revolving credit facility. The repayment of the affiliated note plus the increased profitability and related cash flow enabled the Company to borrow less during the six months.
On January 29, 2002, the Company entered into a $40 million revolving credit facility (the "Facility"), details of which are set forth in Note 3 to the financial statements in Part 1. Borrowings of $28.7 million under the Facility were used to finance part of the purchase price of the Company's acquisition of Centrus. The Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of February 4, 2004, approximately $7.2 million was outstanding under the Facility, and the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
Three of these financial covenants are based upon the EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) generated by the Company over specified periods of time. These covenants, EBITDA for the current fiscal quarter, interest coverage ratio, and debt service coverage for the previous twelve months, are evaluated by the Lender as a measure of the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet all of its obligations under the Facility. EBITDA is presented as cash flow from operations plus or minus the net changes in assets and liabilities and the changes in certain non-cash reconciling items from net cash from operations to net income over the reported periods. While EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance nor liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles, it is provided as information for investors for analysis purposes in light of the financial covenants referred to above. EBITDA is not meant to be considered a substitute or replacement for net income as prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA, which increased by approximately $1.9 million or 25%, from $7.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to $9.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003, is
21

The Company has entered into various capital lease transactions for hardware and software. The Company has also assumed various capital leases through its acquisitions. The principal balance of all capital leases as of December 31, 2003 was approximately $569,000.
The Company has entered into various real estate operating leases with both related and unrelated parties. The Company has entered into various operating leases and a sale-leaseback with unrelated third parties for office equipment. These leases have different payment terms and expiration dates. The Company also entered into a sale-leaseback operating lease of certain fixed assets (principally computer hardware and externally developed software) with an affiliate of the Company's Vice Chairman. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements comprising Item 8 of Form 10 -K, for the year ended June 30, 2003 for a further description of these various leases.

The members of PMP are eligible to receive additional consideration of up to $1,000,000 if certain PMP clients are retained over the first three years after acquisition. These targets were not met in the first two years so no additional consideration was due and payable. It is the Company's expectation that these amounts will not be earned in the third year either as the identified clients were not generally retained directly, although they were replaced.
22
The shareholders of Centrus are eligible to receive additional consideration of up to $4,000,000, payable over three years, if certain financial targets are met over the first two years after acquisition. The financial performance targets were achieved during the first year and $2 million has been earned. Of this amount, $1 million was paid in May 2003 and another $1 million will be paid in May 2004. As of the current date, it appears, subject to final adjustments, that the minimum performance targets for the second year will be achieved during the second year which would obligate the Company to pay up to a maximum of an additional $1,000 in May 2004 and $1,000 in May 2005.
The shareholders of PPP are eligible to receive additional consideration of up to $7,000,000, if certain financial targets are met over the first three years. Such amounts earned are payable within 45 days after the first, second, and third anniversary of the date of acquisition. In the sole discretion of the Company, up to 50% of any amounts earned can be paid in the Company's stock in lieu of cash. To date, $321,988 has been earned and accrued as additional purchase price.
In February 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated party for computer software products and professional services. The agreement required the Company to pay an initial license fee. In addition, if certain milestones are met based on the number of processed claims, as defined in the agreement, the initial license fee increases in specified increments. To date, four such milestones have been met, resulting in a 100% increase in the license fee. The agreement also provides for the annual payment of a fee for maintenance and updating services equal to 18% of the initial license fee, as defined. If the remaining milestone is reached, the cash outlay by the Company would be $100,000.
The Company entered into an amended and restated preferred stock purchase agreement, dated as of November 26, 2003, with New Mountain Partners, L.P. (the "purchase agreement"). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company agreed, subject to various conditions, to issue to New Mountain Partners a total of 6,956,522 shares of series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $80,000,003. Once certain conditions have been met or waived, including receipt of certain stockholder approvals sought by a definitive proxy statement to be distributed to the Company's stockholders, the Company will be obligated to complete the sale of the series A preferred stock to New Mountain Partners and to use approximately $50 million of the proceeds of the sale of the series A preferred stock to fund the purchase price for a tender offer for up to 4,545,455 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock at $11.00 per share. Bert Brodsky, the chairman of the board of directors, and certain stockholders related to him, currently hold, in the aggregate, approximately 60% of the Company's outstanding common stock and have agreed to tender 4,448,900 shares, or approximately 54% of the Company's outstanding common stock, held by them, into the tender offer.
If the tender offer is fully subscribed by the Company's stockholders, after the tender offer is completed, New Mountain Partners will own securities that are initially convertible into approximately 65% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock and prior to conversion of the series A preferred stock will be entitled to cast that number of votes that is equal to approximately 61% of the Company's aggregate voting power. Following the closing of the sale of the series A preferred stock and the tender offer (collectively, the "Contemplated Transactions"), New Mountain Partners will initially be entitled to nominate and elect 60% of the members of the Company's board of directors.
The Company will primarily use the remaining proceeds from the issuance and sale of the series A preferred stock of approximately $22 million, excluding expenses related to the closing of the Contemplated Transactions, for potential acquisitions and working capital purposes. However, except under certain circumstances, the Company will be prohibited from using such proceeds to pay any outstanding amounts due under the Company's outstanding credit facility for six months following the closing of the Contemplated Transactions.
23
The preferred stock will provide for an initial annual cash dividend equal to 7% of the investment amount, which decreases to 3.5% after the fifth anniversary of issuance. The preferred stock will be convertible into common stock at a price of $11.50 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately 7 million shares of the Company's common stock.
The series��A preferred stock may be redeemed at the Company's option subsequent to the fourth anniversary of its issuance, subject to certain conditions. After the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the series A preferred stock, each holder of shares of series A preferred stock may require the Company to redeem all or a part of that holder's shares of series A preferred stock.
The Company anticipates that current cash positions, after its five acquisitions together with anticipated cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated cash requirements for at least 24 months. This is based upon current levels of capital expenditures and anticipated operating results for the next 24 months. However, it is one of the Company's stated goals to acquire other pharmacy benefit management companies andcompanies providing related services. Depending on the Company's evaluation of future acquisitions, additional cash may be required to complete these acquisitions. In addition, the Company will require cash to acquire inventory for its mail order and specialty distribution operations. In the event that the Company's plans change or its assumptions prove to be inaccurate, or the proceeds from the Facility and the Contemplated Transactions prove to be insufficient to fund operations and acquisitions, the Company could be required to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated. There can be no assurance that such financing could be obtained at rates or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
Other Matters
Inflation
Management does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse impact on Health Card's net income.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
General
Health Card's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon Health Card's unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires Health Card to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses; these estimates and judgments also effect related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, Health Card evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debt, intangible assets, income taxes, and financing operations. Health Card bases its estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements comprising Item 8 of Form 10-K, for the year ended June 30, 2003), the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others:
Revenue Recognition
- (a)
- The Company has historically entered into two types of arrangements for the payment of administrative fees: fee for service (per claim charges) and capitation (per member per month
24
charges). Under the fee for service arrangement, the Company is paid by its sponsors for the Company's contractually agreed upon rates based upon actual claims adjudicated, plus a fixed transaction fee. Under the capitation arrangement, the fee is based on the number of participants per month; the Company pays for the cost of(b) prescriptions filled and thus shares the risk of operating profit or loss with these plans. Since January 1, 2000, all services have been provided on a fee for service basis only.
- (b)
- Revenue under the fee for service arrangement is recognized when the claims are adjudicated. Included as revenue are the Company's administrative fees and charges relating to pharmaceuticals dispensed by the Company's network of pharmacies. Revenue is reduced by the amount of rebates paid to the Company's sponsors.
- (c)
- The specific terms of the contracts that Health Card enters into with its sponsors will determine whether Health Card recognizes the gross revenue related to the cost of the prescriptions filled. There are several factors from EITF 99-19 that leads the Company to recognize the majority of its revenue on a gross basis. These include: the Company acts as a principal and not an agent and is the primary obligor in the relationship among the pharmacies, the sponsors and the Company, the Company has credit risk, the Company has certain latitude in establishing price, and the Company has discretion in supplier selection. In certain cases, primarily because the amount the Company earns is fixed, the Company has not recognized the gross revenue or cost related to prescriptions filled for a specific sponsor. This has no impact on the Company's gross profit since neither the prescription revenue nor the related cost of the prescriptions is recorded.
- (d)
- Health Card includes in revenue only those co-payments collected from individual members by its mail order facility in Miramar, Florida. Co-payments retained by pharmacies on the remainder of the prescriptions filled for Health Card's members are not included in Health Card's reported revenue. Health Card discloses these amounts parenthetically on the face of its Consolidated Statement of Income.
- (e)
- Rebates are recognized when the Company is entitled to them in accordance with the terms of its arrangements with drug manufacturers, third party rebate administrators, and sponsors, and when the amount of the rebates is determinable. The Company records the gross rebate receivable and the appropriate payable to the sponsors based on estimates, which are subject to final settlement. The estimates are based upon the claims submitted and the Company's rebate experience, and are adjusted as additional information becomes available.
Bad Debt
Health Card maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the liability of its sponsors to make required payments. If the financial condition of Health Card's sponsors were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment
In assessing the recoverability of the Company's goodwill and other intangibles, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in thefuture, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded. On July 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and will be required to analyze its goodwill for impairment issues on a periodic basis thereafter. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to goodwill and other intangible assets.
25
Deferred Taxes
Health Card periodically considers whether or not it should record a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While Health Card has considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event Health Card were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should Health Card determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
Capitalized Software
The costs of software developed for internal use incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Direct costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. Costs incurred during the post-implementation/operation stage are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, commencing on the date the software is placed into use, primarily three years.
ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and procedures designed to ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in its reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required. They include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to management in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, chiefly the Company's principal executive officer and the Company's principal financial officer, Health Card evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's principalexecutive officer and the Company's principal financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls including those controls over financial reporting in this period, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The legal proceeding described below should be read in conjunction with the legal proceeding disclosure in the following earlier reports: Part I, Item 3 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of Health Card's Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003 and Part II, Item 1 of Health Card's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
An action was commenced against the Company on April 30, 2002 by Midwest Health Plan Inc. ("MHP") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the parties entered into a contract dated July 1999 (the "Agreement"), and further alleges that the Company has overcharged MHP for the administration of prescription benefit services in contravention to the terms of the Agreement and breached its fiduciary duties by making a profit. MHP is seeking $3 million dollars in damages. The Company filed an answer and counterclaim on June 12, 2002. In the counterclaim, the Company claimed damages in excess of $2.8 million based on Midwest's failure to pay under a contract. In late June 2002, Midwest agreed to make two payments in the amount of $1.34 million and $1.36 million to partially settle the Company's claims against Midwest. Midwest has now added a fiduciary duty claim. The Company continues to have counterclaims totaling over $200,000 against Midwest for Midwest's failure to pay the amounts it had agreed to pay Health Card for goods and services. The Company's motion for partial summary judgment and motion to dismiss the fiduciary duty claim is currently scheduled to be heard in February, 2004. The court has not set a trial date. Discovery closed September 30, 2003. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company is unable to provide an estimate of any particular loss, if any, which may be associated with the MHP claims.
