NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Nature of Business
Nature of Business
Prior to January 26, 2007, Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") formerly known as Pace Health Management Systems, Inc. traded under the symbol "PCES", was classified as a public shell, had no ongoing operations, minimal operating expenses and no employees.
On January 26, 2007, the Company acquired Conmed, Inc. ("Conmed, Inc.") a provider of correctional healthcare services (the "Acquisition"). Conmed, Inc. was formed as a corporation on June 10, 1987 in the State of Maryland for the purpose of providing healthcare services exclusively to county detention centers located in Maryland. As Conmed, Inc. developed, it accepted more contracts for additional services including mental health, pharmacy and out-of-facility healthcare expenses. In 2000, Conmed, Inc. served more than 50% of the county detention healthcare services market in Maryland. In 2003, Conmed, Inc. elected to seek contracts outside of Maryland.
As a result of the Acquisition, Conmed, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the business of Conmed, Inc. is now our primary business. As of March 31, 2008, we were in contract with, and currently providing medical services in twenty-eight counties in five states including: Kansas, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia and Washington.
On March 13, 2007, the Company changed its name to Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc.
The amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the 25-day period from January 1, 2007 to January 25, 2007 are all Conmed, Inc. pre-Acquisition amounts and hence are designated as PREDECESSOR amounts. The amounts for the 65-day period from January 26, 2007 to March 31, 2007 are after the Acquisition and reflect the combined activities of Conmed, Inc. and Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. from the date of Acquisition and, as a result, these amounts are designated as SUCCESSOR amounts. The Consolidated Balance Sheet includes the consolidated amounts of Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc., Conmed, Inc. and Conmed Oregon, Inc. as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and, as a result, are designated as SUCCESSOR amounts.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the PREDECESSOR amounts to conform to current presentation of the financial statements.
NOTE 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, the financial information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared annually in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should, therefore, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report of Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) which are considered necessary to fairly present our financial position and our results of operations as of and for these periods have been made.
Our interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a full year.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is as follows:
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our methods of revenue recognition from contracts are based primarily on estimates as are accrued expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Acquisition
The Acquisition was recorded based on FASB Statement No. 141, ("SFAS 141") Business Combinations, using the purchase method. Under purchase accounting, assets acquired should be stated on the financial statements at "fair value" (see definition in Standard of Value section below). SFAS 141 requires that intangible assets be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria, (1) the contractual-legal criterion, or (2) the separability criterion. SFAS 141 also requires disclosure of the primary reasons for business combination and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption.
We employed an independent valuation firm to assist management in the identification of the intangible assets acquired and in estimating the fair value of those assets. Estimates of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition as of January 26, 2007, are as follows:
Asset | | | Fair Value | |
Service contracts acquired | | $ | 4,500,000 | |
Non-compete agreements | | | 1,000,000 | |
Goodwill | | | 4,852,338 | |
Total | | $ | 10,352,338 | |
Asset Purchase
The Asset Purchase from EMDC was recorded based on FASB Statement No. 141, ("SFAS 141") Business Combinations, using the purchase method. Under purchase accounting, assets acquired should be stated on the financial statements at "fair value" (see definition in Standard of Value section below). SFAS 141 requires that intangible assets be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria, (1) the contractual-legal criterion, or (2) the separability criterion. SFAS 141 also requires disclosure of the primary reasons for business combination and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption.
Estimates of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Asset Purchase as of February 29, 2008, are as follows:
Asset | | | Fair Value | |
Service contracts acquired | | $ | 242,000 | |
Non-compete agreements | | | 120,000 | |
Goodwill | | | 215,998 | |
Total | | $ | 577,998 | |
In connection with the Asset Purchase from EMDC, the Company has an adjustable note payable for $140,000 and $0 at March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The note requires monthly payments of $5,833 including interest at 0%, as such, the note is recorded at its present value, using an imputed 6% interest rate, of $132,275. On February 1, 2009, the remaining balance owed shall be adjusted, up or down, based on the performance of the Company’s Northwest Operating Territory.
Service Contracts Acquired
There are material costs in obtaining a customer list, especially customers with recurring revenue streams. The value of service contracts acquired is represented by the future revenue streams, therefore, the Income Approach is the most applicable fair value measurement approach to value these assets. The operating income streams of service contracts acquired was calculated based on net present value of estimated earnings at an interest rate of 20%. Operating income streams were estimated on a contract by contract basis and an overall cost factor was used to estimate management expenses. Service contracts acquired are amortized over the life of each individual contract, ranging from approximately one to four years.
Projected amortization of service contracts for the next four years:
For the Twelve Months ended March 31, | | | Amortization | |
2009 | | | 1,536,000 | |
2010 | | | 703,000 | |
2011 | | | 230,000 | |
2012 | | | 58,000 | |
| | $ | 2,527,000 | |
Accumulated amortization of service contracts as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2,215,000 and $445,000, respectively.
Service contract amortization expense recognized was approximately $414,000, $445,000 and $0 for the three months ending March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ending March 31, 2007 and the 25-day period ending January 25, 2007, respectively.
Non-Compete Agreements
Non-compete agreements are generally acquired as part of our acquisition agreements. Key considerations in estimating the value of non-compete agreements include consideration of the potential losses resulting from such competition, the enforceability of the terms of the agreement, and the likelihood of competition in the absence of the agreement. Non-compete agreements are amortized over the lives of the agreements, approximately two to four years.
Projected amortization of non-compete agreements for the next four years:
For the Twelve Months ended March 31, | | | Amortization | |
2009 | | $ | 329,000 | |
2010 | | | 322,000 | |
2011 | | | 146,000 | |
2012 | | | -- | |
| | $ | 797,000 | |
Accumulated amortization of non-compete agreements as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $323,000 and $49,000, respectively.
Non-compete amortization expense recognized was approximately $72,000, $49,000 and $0 for the three months ending March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ending March 31, 2007 and the 25-day period ending January 25, 2007, respectively.
Goodwill:
We recorded as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. Since creation of the goodwill there have been no indicators of impairment. We have elected to perform our annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, cash equivalents consisted of an interest-bearing money market account and a certificate of deposit at a commercial bank.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and long-term debt. We believe the fair value of each of these instruments approximates their carrying value in the balance sheet as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of current assets and current liabilities is estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on anticipated interest rates which we believe would currently be available to us for similar issues of debt, taking into account our current credit risk and the other market factors.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, or SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
| · | Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The adoption of SFAS 157 had no material effect to the financials or related disclosure.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, or SFAS 159. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect the fair value option under this Statement to specific assets or liabilities.
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Conmed, Inc and Conmed Oregon, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Our principal source of revenue is contracts to provide medical assistance to state and local correctional facilities. Deferred revenue represents amounts that may be billed in advance of delivery under these contracts.
Most of our contracts call for a fixed monthly fee. In addition, most contracts have incremental charges based on the average daily population ("ADP") of the correctional facility or a contractual fee adjustment based on the ADP. Revenues from contracts are recognized ratably for fixed fees, or monthly for contracts with variable charges based on ADP. We have one contract that partially operates on cost plus basis. The timing of each payment varies per contract. Credit terms are not more than 30 days from the date of invoice.
Certain contracts include "stop/loss" limits, which create a ceiling to our financial responsibility for an individual inmate's care or a maximum amount in the aggregate for certain categories of medical expenses, whereby we are protected from catastrophic medical losses. In circumstances where a stop/loss is reached, we are reimbursed for any costs incurred over the predetermined stop/loss amount. Any reimbursement received by us is recorded as revenue. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ended March 31, 2007, and the 25-day period ended January 25, 2007, we received stop/loss reimbursements of approximately $145,000, $38,000 and $15,000, respectively, which were included in revenue.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years. It is our policy to capitalize purchases of equipment and fixtures that benefit future periods. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
Accrued Medical Claims Liability
Medical expenses include the costs associated with medical services provided by off-site medical providers; pharmacy, laboratory and radiology fees; professional and general liability insurance as well as other generally related medical expenses. The cost of medical services provided, administered or contracted for are recognized in the period in which they are provided based in part on estimates for unbilled medical services rendered through the balance sheet date. The Company estimates an accrual for unbilled medical services using available utilization data including hospitalization, one-day surgeries, physician visits and emergency room and ambulance visits and other related costs, which are estimated. Additionally, Company personnel review certain inpatient hospital stays and other high cost medical procedures and expenses in order to attempt to identify costs in excess of the historical average rates. Once identified, reserves are determined which take into consideration the specific facts available at that time.
Actual payments and future reserve requirements will differ from the Company’s current estimates. The differences could be material if significant adverse fluctuations occur in the healthcare cost structure or the Company’s future claims experience. Changes in estimates of claims resulting from such fluctuations and differences between estimates and actual claims payments are recognized in the period in which the estimates are changed or the payments are made.
Stock Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 Revised, Shared-Based Payments ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method. Prior to that date, we accounted for stock option awards under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. In accordance with SFAS 123R, compensation expense for stock-based awards is recorded over the vesting period at the fair value of the award at the time of grant. The recording of such compensation began on January 1, 2006 for shares not yet vested as of that date and for all new grants subsequent to that date. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $120,000, $189,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ended March 31, 2007 and the 25-day period ended January 25, 2007, respectively. The exercise price of options granted under our incentive plans is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. We assume no projected forfeitures on its stock-based compensation, since actual historical forfeiture rates on our stock-based incentive awards have been negligible.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
We have adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128"), which requires us to present basic and diluted income (loss) per share amounts. Basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method).
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(Revised) ("SFAS 141R"), Business Combinations. SFAS 141R replaces the original SFAS No. 141. This statement applies to all transactions in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values, with limited exceptions, as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is to be recognized as a residual. If the acquisition-date fair value exceeds the consideration transferred, a gain is to be recognized. The Statement generally requires that acquisition costs be expensed. This Statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 ("SFAS 160"), Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 requires companies to report ownership interest in subsidiaries held by other parties (minority interest) be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition separately within the equity section. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent company and to the noncontrolling interest is to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The Statement is effective beginning January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Presentation of share and Per Share Information
All common stock shares and per share information has been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 20 reverse stock split effective on March 14, 2007.
NOTE 3. Common Stock Warrants and Options
Common Stock Warrants
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, warrant activity is as follows.
Warrants @ $1.65 per share
In connection with a consulting agreement, we issued to a consultant, a warrant to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per share expiring February 24, 2013. The warrants will vest over four (4) years and are contingent upon the continued service to the Company of the warrant holder. 30,000 warrants will vest on February 24, 2009 and 2,500 warrants will vest on the 24th of each calendar month thereafter for the following 36 months or until such time as the warrant holder is no longer providing service for the Company. The warrants were valued at $66,909 as of the date of grant using the fair value method which will be recorded as stock-based compensation over the vesting period.
As of March 31, 2008, no warrants have been exercised and 120,000 warrants remain outstanding.
Warrants @ $1.85 per share
In connection with the asset purchase from EMDC, we issued to two consultants, warrants to purchase 80,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.85 per share. The warrants vest immediately and expire February 28, 2013. The warrants were valued at $50,013 as of the date of grant using the fair value method. This expense has been included in goodwill as deal costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ended March 31, 2007, and the 25-day period ended January 25, 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense net of reversals for forfeited warrants totaling $1,603, $0 and $0, respectively.
As of March 31, 2008, no warrants have been exercised and 80,000 warrants remain outstanding.
Summary
As of March 31, 2008, we have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,605,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $1.11 and have reserved shares of our common stock for issuance in connection with the potential exercise thereof. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, no warrants were exercised.
Common Stock Options
The Board of Directors has adopted, and our stockholders have approved, the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of 1,600,000 (post-Plan of Recapitalization) incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock bonuses and stock appreciation rights. The 2007 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which has the authority and discretion to determine: the persons to whom the options will be granted; when the options will be granted; the number of shares subject to each option; the price at which the shares subject to each option may be purchased; and when each option will become exercisable. The options generally vest over three to four years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ended March 31, 2007, and the 25-day period ended January 25, 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense net of reversals for forfeited options totaling $118,452, $0 and $0, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a stock option grant to purchase 43,500 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $2.16 per share. This grant was in excess of the total shares available under the 2007 Plan at the time of the award. An increase in the number of shares available to grant has not been approved by the shareholders. We have determined under SFAS 123R that the grant date has not yet occurred for these options. Therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized and these options are not reflected in any of the option tables as outstanding. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, 42,500 shares were forfeited and as of March 31, 2008, 43,833 remaining shares are available for grant.

Common stock warrants and options outstanding totaling 4,161,167 shares are not included in diluted earnings per common share as they would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per common share.
NOTE 6. Major Customers and Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the 65-day period ended March 31, 2007 and the 25-day period ended January 25, 2007, we had approximate sales with major customers and related approximate receivables as follows:

Company G | | | 395,000 | | | -- | | | 275,000 | | | -- | | | 101,000 | | | -- | |
In connection with our normal contract activities, we are required to acquire performance and payment bonds for certain service contracts. The surety issuing the bonds has recourse against certain assets in the event the surety is required to honor the bonds. The lengths of our bond contracts vary. Most contracts are one year or less, but periodically contracts are obtained which exceed one year. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $9,560,061 in outstanding bonds.
NOTE 7. Income Tax Matters
Management applied a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets because of a limited history of taxable income, the long-term nature of the deferred tax asset and certain limitations regarding the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards. No tax benefit has been recognized for the loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

General
Prior to January 26, 2007, the Company was classified as a public shell and had no ongoing operations, minimal operating expenses, no employees and operated under the name Pace Healthcare Management Systems, Inc. (“Pace”).
On January 26, 2007, the Company acquired Conmed, Inc. (“Conmed Inc.”), a provider of correctional healthcare services since 1984 the (“Acquisition”). Conmed Inc. was formed as a corporation on June 10, 1987 in the State of Maryland for the purpose of providing healthcare services exclusively to county detention centers located in Maryland. As Conmed Inc. developed, it accepted more contracts for additional services including pharmacy and out-of-facility healthcare expenses. In 2000, Conmed, Inc. served more than 50% of the county detention healthcare services market in Maryland. In 2003, Conmed, Inc. elected to seek contracts outside of Maryland and by June 2007 it had secured contracts in Kansas, Oregon Virginia and Washington. Currently, Conmed, Inc. is in contract with and services 21 detention centers and facilities at the county level in the United States. As a result of the Acquisition, Conmed, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the business of Conmed, Inc. is now our primary business.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed financial statements. These condensed financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim periods and require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related IBNR and amortization and potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and stock-based compensation expense. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Recently adopted accounting standards
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, or SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
| · | Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, or SFAS 159. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect the fair value option under this Statement to specific assets or liabilities.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(Revised) ("SFAS 141R"), Business Combinations. SFAS 141R replaces the original SFAS No. 141. This statement applies to all transactions in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values, with limited exceptions, as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is to be recognized as a residual. If the acquisition-date fair value exceeds the consideration transferred, a gain is to be recognized. The Statement generally requires that acquisition costs be expensed. This Statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 ("SFAS 160"), Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 requires companies to report ownership interest in subsidiaries held by other parties (minority interest) be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition separately within the equity section. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent company and to the noncontrolling interest is to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The Statement is effective beginning January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, or SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 enhances the disclosure. We do not expect the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Presentation of share and per share information
All common stock share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 20 reverse stock split effective on March 14, 2007.
Results of Operations
Three-Months Ended March 31, 2008 compared March 31, 2007
The following discussion of financial results below is derived from proforma unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 prepared on the basis that the Acquisition was completed on December 31, 2006. The proforma adjustments were based on available information and on assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited proforma financial information is presented for informational purposes and is based on management’s estimates. The unaudited proforma statements of operations do not purport to represent what results of operations actually would have been if the transactions set forth above had occurred on the dates indicated or what results of operations will be for future periods. Proforma adjustments include consolidation of the Company and Conmed, Inc. for the full three-month period plus an adjustment to reflect the amortization of intangible assets, which increased depreciation and amortization on the proforma unaudited financial statements by $184,000.

Net revenue, as defined earlier, from medical services provided primarily to correctional institutions for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, was $7,836,250 and $5,550,939, respectively, which represents an increase of $2,284,467 or 41.1%. The net loss was $552,054 or 7.0% of revenue and $570,551 or 10.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which represented a decrease of $18,497 or 3.2%.
Revenues
The improvement in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period for the prior year resulted from the addition of new contracts with Jackson County, Oregon; Henrico County, Virginia; Kitsap County, Washington and Wicomico County, Maryland in 2007 plus the revenue generated from the contracts purchased from EMDC on February 29, 2008. Together these contracts accounted for approximately $1,560,950 or 68.3% of the increase in revenue for the period. Revenue improvement totaling approximately $508,219, or 22.2% of the increase, resulted primarily from expansion of the services provided and other volume related activities with a number of our existing contracts in which we were providing services prior to 2007. Price increases related to existing service requirements totaled approximately $215,298 or 9.4% of the increase.
Healthcare Expenses
Salaries and employee benefits
Salaries and employee benefits for healthcare employees were $4,114,027 or 52.5% of revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $2,745,039 or 49.5% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in spending for salaries and employee benefits of $1,368,988 or 49.9% is due to the addition of new healthcare employees required to support the increased staffing requirements resulting primarily from our new medical service contracts and expansions in some of our existing agreements. The primary factors causing the increase in salaries and employee benefits as a percentage of revenue was the addition of new service contracts with Yakima County, WA; Henrico County, VA; Kitsap County, WA and Wicomico County, MD, which provided primarily staffing services. As a result, these three contracts increased the mix of salaries and employee benefits as a percentage of total revenue.
Medical expenses
Medical expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $2,016,588 or 25.7% of revenue and $1,573,744 or 28.4% of revenue, respectively, which represented an increase of $442,844 or 28.1%. The increase in spending for medical expenses in absolute dollars reflects increases for medical services both in and out of the facility plus increased expenditures for pharmacy and radiology services. The reduction in spending as a percentage of revenue results from the favorable mix factor generated from the new “staffing only” contracts in 2007, as detailed above, and was partially offset by increased spending for hospitalization and other out of facility inmate medical visits, or approximately 0.7% of revenue when compared to prior period amounts. In addition, the Jackson County, Oregon contract, which started in May 2007 and provides for full medical services, plus the addition of pharmacy services in Yakima County, Washington in September 2007 increased the spending in absolute dollars.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses were $233,436, or 3.0% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $210,617, or 3.8% of revenue, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The increase of $22,819 in spending is directly related to the increase in the number of inmates served as a result of the new service contracts and reflects increased spending for employment advertising, professional liability insurance performance and payment bonds.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $1,589,012 or 20.3% of revenue and $974,914 or 17.6% of revenue, respectively. The increased expenditures of $614,098 reflects a significant investment in additional management and administrative personnel required to sustain the Company during anticipated future growth, as well as additional costs associated with the relocation of the Company’s headquarters to Hanover, Maryland in February 2008. Additionally, the increased spending reflects higher professional service fees primarily related to implementation of the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley project and business development, plus accounting fees related to the year-end audit that were not incurred in 2007. Stock based compensation for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $120,055 and $188,990, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the amortization of intangible assets related to the Acquisition, reflected in both periods. Amortization of service contracts acquired was $499,450, or 6.4% of sales, compared to $676,941, or 12.2% of sales, respectively. The decline primarily reflects lower amortization expense for service contracts acquired as certain individual contracts become fully amortized. Depreciation expense increased $5,649 due to additional capitalized software and office furniture.
Interest income
Interest income was $65,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $60,037 for the same period in 2007.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the first quarter increased to $1,689 in 2008 compared to $271 in 2007.
Income tax expense
Management applied a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets because of a limited history of taxable income, the long-term nature of the deferred tax asset and certain limitations regarding the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards. No tax benefit has been recognized for the loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financing is generally provided by funds generated from our operating activities.
Cash flow for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.
Cash as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $7,142,788 and $7,136,720, respectively.
Cash flows from operations totaled $439,981, reflecting $619,505 in adjustments for depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation to reconcile the net loss to net cash provided by working activities, plus $372,530 in changes in working capital components. The above was partially offset by the net loss of $552,054.
Investing activities used $432,012. The acquisition of EMDC service contracts used $245,711 and purchases of computer and office equipment primarily related to the new office facility used $186,301.
Financing activities used $1,901 in payment on a vehicle loan.

ITEM 4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report.
