ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Strategic Mission Statement
Almost Family, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively "Almost Family TM" or the
"Company") provide alternatives for seniors and other adults with special needs
and their families who wish to avoid nursing home placement as long as possible
and remain independent, through its network of adult day care centers and
ancillary services. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1985. On January
31, 2000 the Company changed its name to Almost Family, Inc. from Caretenders
HealthCorp.
Adult Day Health Services
Adult day health services is an alternative method of providing care for seniors
and other adults who without such care would likely be institutionalized. The
field has grown rapidly, from just 15 centers in the United States in the early
1970s to over 4,000 today. Still in its early stages, the industry is highly
fragmented with the majority operated by the non-profit sector. To the best of
its knowledge and belief, Almost Family, Inc. is one of the largest for-profit
providers of adult day care services in the U.S.
The Company's adult day health centers provide professional, high quality adult
day health services for disabled or frail adults who require some care or
supervision, but who do not require intensive medical attention or
institutionalization. The average center has capacity for over 60 guests per
day. Most operate seven days a week. The Company also provides transportation
services to and from the center.
The centers offer a range of therapeutic and medical services designed to
promote the independence of participants and provide respite to families and
caregivers. On-site staff nurses administer medications and give attention to
medical care. Other services include (i) a light breakfast, a hot lunch, and an
afternoon snack; (ii) a highly structured, individualized and creative
activities program which includes recreation, education, field trips, sports,
crafts, music and group conversations; and (iii) family counseling.
In addition to services provided in the Company's physical locations, some adult
day health services are also provided in the patients' homes. These services
(generally provided by para-professional staff such as home health aides) are
very similar in nature to the care provided in the Company's facility. This
flexibility allows the patient and/or his or her family to select the venue (or
combination of venues) of care that is appropriate for them. Many Almost Family,
Inc. adult day health patients receive care both at home and in the Company's
facilities.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company provides services through centers in the
following locations:

(1)Physical facilities for in-center adult day health services are not in place
in these locations. However, some in home adult day health services are
currently provided. These locations are currently being evaluated for
development of in-center facilities.
(2)For the year ended March 31, 2000 approximately 29% of the Company's
revenues and 50% of segment contribution were generated from Maryland
operations where approximately 92% of that revenue is derived from Maryland
Medicaid reimbursement programs
(3)The Company closed its in-center facility in this market in late fiscal 2000
but continues to provide adult day health services in patients' homes.
Daily capacity for in-facility care was 1,621 and 1,496 guests per day at March
31, 2000 and 1999 respectively.
During fiscal 2000, the Company opened or acquired three new facilities and
closed the in-center component of one facility.
Discontinued Operations
In addition to its Adult Day Health Services operations, the Company has
historically operated two additional segments, 1) Visiting Nurses, and 2)
Product Operations under the trade name "CaretendersTM".
Caretenders' Visiting Nurses operations provide a comprehensive range of
Medicare-certified home health nursing services. Payors also include Medicaid
and private insurances. Professional staff including registered nurses, licensed
practical nurses, physical, speech and occupational therapists, and medical
social workers implement and monitor medical treatment plans prescribed by
physicians. Professional staff are subject to state licensing requirements in
the particular states in which they practice. Para-professional staff, primarily
home health aides also provide care to this category of patients.
The Visiting Nurse operations consist of 8 Medicare-certified home health
agencies operating in Kentucky (4), Florida (3), and, Massachusetts (1).
Caretenders' Product operations, with locations in Louisville and Lexington, KY
and Birmingham, AL provided a wide array of infusion therapy, oxygen therapy and
other product related services.
As part of a formal plan of separation, the Company on November 12, 1999 sold
its product operations (consisting of infusion therapy and respiratory and
medical equipment businesses) to Lincare Holdings, Inc. in an asset sale for
$14.5 million and is pursuing available strategic alternatives to complete the
separation of its visiting nurse operations. Proceeds from the sale were used to
repay obligations outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit. As a
result of the operational separations, the Company recorded a one-time net of
tax loss of approximately $5 million or ($1.60) in the quarter ended September
30, 1999. This charge reduced the book value of the operations to their expected
net realizable value provides for losses on fulfilling certain obligations and
close down costs and includes the estimated future operating results of the
visiting nurse operations prior to separation. These changes have been accounted
for as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
The estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations reflected in the
accompanying financial statements includes management's estimate of the results
of operating the visiting nurse segment prior to disposal and the estimated
financial results of such disposal based on information currently available. The
form and timing of the implementation of a Medicare Prospective Payment System
for home care (PPS) may have a material impact on the disposal value of the
visiting nurse operations, as described in more detail below.
Revenues from discontinued operations were approximately $46,742,000,
$57,542,000 and $64,799,000 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
respectively. Refer to Management's discussion and analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and the notes to the financial statements
under Part II, Items 7 and 8, respectively for additional financial information
regarding discontinued operations.
The Company's decisions with respect to the visiting nurse operations resulted
from changes in Medicare reimbursement brought about by the Balanced Budget Act
of 1997 (the BBA) and its resulting impact on the home health market place and
the Company. The BBA included a requirement for implementation of a prospective
payment system or "PPS" which would not be cost-based, no later than October 1,
2000. Proposed PPS regulations were published by HCFA in October 1999 with an
invitation for comment. HCFA's schedule calls for final rules to be published in
the summer of 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the proposed regulations
for a prospective payment system, its potential impact on the visiting nurse
operations, and what mitigating actions, if any, the Company may be able to take
in response to PPS.
The Company is unable to predict at this time what Medicare payment rates will
be under PPS. Likewise the Company is unable to predict what impact, if any, PPS
will have on the disposition values of its visiting nurse operations.
Compensation for Services
Almost Family, Inc. is compensated for its services through (i) private pay
(paid by personal funds), (ii) Medicaid, and (iii) other third party payors
(e.g. insurance companies and other government funds). See "Item 1. Business --
Payment Sources". Almost Family, Inc. employs compensation specialists who
advise patients as to the availability of sources of payment for its services.
See "Government Regulations - Reimbursement Changes" and "Cautionary Statements
- - Forward Outlook and Risks". Management will monitor the effects of such items
and may consider modifications to its expansion and development strategy when
and if necessary.
Acquisitions
The Company continually considers and reviews (subject to availability of
capital) possible acquisitions of businesses that provide health care services
similar to those currently offered by Almost Family, Inc. Factors which may
affect future acquisition decisions include the quality and potential
profitability of the company under consideration, and the Company's
profitability and ability to finance the transaction.
During 1997, the Company acquired one adult day care center. During 1998, the
Company completed transactions to acquire two adult day health services
operations. These operations added to the Company's market presence in Florida,
Connecticut and Ohio. No pro forma financial information has been provided as
the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not significant
compared to the Company's existing operations. During 1999 and 2000 the Company
acquired one adult day care center each.
Competition, Marketing and Customers
The adult day health services industry is highly competitive but fragmented.
Competitors include: other adult day health centers, ancillary programs provided
by nursing homes and hospitals; other government-financed facilities, assisted
living and retirement communities, home health providers and senior adult
associations.
The Company believes the primary competitive factors are quality of service and
reputation among referral sources. However, competitors are increasingly
focusing attention on providing alternative site health care services. Almost
Family, Inc. competes by offering a high quality of care and by helping families
identify and access solutions for care. Adult day care competitive advantages
include transportation and superior facilities and guest activity programs.
The Company markets its adult day health services through its adult day health
center directors and the marketing staff. The directors contact referral sources
in their areas to market the Company's services. Major referral sources include:
Offices on Aging, social workers, hospital discharge planners and group living
facilities. The Company also utilizes consumer-direct sales, marketing and
advertising programs designed to attract customers.
Government Regulations
Overview
The health care industry has experienced, and is expected to continue to
experience, extensive and dynamic change. In addition to economic forces and
regulatory influences, continuing political debate is subjecting the health care
industry to significant reform. Health care reforms have been enacted as
discussed elsewhere in this document and proposals for additional changes are
continuously formulated by departments of the federal government, Congress, and
state legislatures.
Government officials can be expected to continue to review and assess
alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Changes in
the law or new interpretations of existing laws may have a dramatic effect on
the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative cost of
doing business, and the methods and amounts of payments for medical care by both
governmental and other payors. Legislative changes to "balance the budget" and
slow the annual rate of growth of Medicare and Medicaid are expected to
continue. Such future changes may further impact reimbursement for home health
care. There can be no assurance that future legislation or regulatory changes
will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company.
Refer to the sections on Reimbursement Changes and Cautionary Statements -
Forward Outlook and Risks below, the notes to the accompanying financial
statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for additional information.
Permits and Licensure
Many states require companies providing certain health care services to be
licensed as adult day care centers or home health agencies. In addition, certain
health care practitioners employed by the Company require state licensure and/or
registration and must comply with laws and regulations governing standards of
practice. The failure to obtain, renew or maintain any of the required
regulatory approvals or licenses could adversely affect the Company's business.
The Company believes it is currently licensed appropriately where required by
the law of the states in which it operates. There can be no assurance that
either the states or the federal government will not impose additional
regulations upon the Company's activities which might adversely affect its
business, results of operations or financial condition.
Certificates of Need
Certain states require companies providing health care services to obtain a
certificate of need issued by a state health-planning agency. Where required by
law, the Company has obtained certificates of need from those states in which it
operates. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any
certificates of need which may be required in the future if the Company expands
the scope of its services or if state laws change to impose additional
certificate of need requirements, and any attempt to obtain additional
certificates of need will cause the Company to incur certain expenses.
Other Regulations
A series of laws and regulations dating back to the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1987 ("OBRA 1987") and through the Balanced Budget Act of
1997 have been enacted and apply to the Company. Changes in applicable laws and
regulations have occurred from time to time since the 1987 Act including
reimbursement reduction and changes to payment rules. Changes are also expected
to occur continuously for the foreseeable future.
As a provider of services under Medicaid programs, the Company is subject to the
Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback statute, also known as the "fraud and abuse
law." This law prohibits any bribe, kickback, rebate or remuneration of any kind
in return for, or as an inducement for, the referral of Medicare or Medicaid
patients. The Company may also be affected by the federal physician
self-referral prohibition, known as the "Stark" law, which, with certain
exceptions, prohibits physicians from referring patients to entities in which
they have a financial interest. Many states in which the Company operates have
adopted similar self-referral laws, as well as laws that prohibit certain direct
or indirect payments or fee-splitting arrangements between health care
providers, if such arrangements are designed to induce or to encourage the
referral of patients to a particular provider.
Health care is an area of extensive and dynamic regulatory change. Changes in
laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations can
have a dramatic effect on permissible activities, the relative costs associated
with doing business, and the amount and availability of reimbursement by
government and third-party payors. Furthermore, the Company will be required to
comply with applicable regulations in each new state in which it desires to
provide services.
The Company is subject to routine and periodic surveys and audits by various
governmental agencies. Management believes that the Company is in material
compliance with applicable laws. The Company, however, is unable to predict what
additional government regulations, if any, affecting its business may be enacted
in the future, how existing or future laws and regulations might be interpreted
or whether the Company will be able to comply with such laws and regulations
either in the markets in which it presently conducts, or wishes to commence,
business.
Payment Sources
The Company receives payments from Medicaid programs, private pay and insurance
policies as detailed below. As noted above, the Company's dependence on
government sponsored reimbursement programs makes it vulnerable to possible
legislative and administrative regulations and budget cut-backs that could
adversely affect the number of persons eligible for such programs, the amount of
allowed reimbursements or other aspects of the program, any of which could
materially affect the Company. In addition, loss of certification or
qualification under Medicaid programs could materially affect the Company's
ability to effectively market its services.
In addition to its dependence on Medicaid reimbursement, the Company's future
operating results may be dependent in part upon its ability to attract customers
able to pay for the Company's charges from their own and their families'
financial resources. Circumstances which adversely affect the ability or desire
of seniors to pay for the Company's services could have an adverse effect on the
Company.
The following table sets forth the Company's revenues derived from each major
class of payor during the following fiscal years (by percentage of net
revenues):
2000 1999 1998
Payor Group
- ---------------------- ---------- -----------------------
Medicare 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
Medicaid 48.5% 49.2% 47.5%
Insurance, Private
Pay and other
government programs 51.5% 50.8% 52.5%
Changes in payment sources from 1999 to 2000 are primarily a result of the
impact of changes in the types of customers it attracts. For the year ended
March 31, 2000 approximately 29% of the Company's revenues and 50% of segment
contribution were generated from Maryland operations where approximately 92% of
that revenue is derived from Maryland Medicaid reimbursement programs. Although
the Company is not aware of any significant initiatives currently underway that
would have a material adverse impact on the Maryland reimbursement program or
the Company, the Company could be materially impacted by unfavorable changes in
the future should they occur.
In determining charge rates for goods and services provided to customers, the
Company evaluates several factors including cost and market competition. The
Company also negotiates contract rates with third party providers such as
insurance companies. The rates of reimbursement for a significant portion of the
Company's charges are dictated by Federal or State programs such as Medicaid.
Insurance
The Company and its subsidiaries carry general liability and professional
liability insurance. The Company also carries product liability insurance
associated with those operations requiring such coverage, including the durable
medical equipment operations. The Company's properties are covered by casualty
insurance policies. The Company carries directors and officers liability
insurance. The Company carries automobile collision and liability coverage and
statutory workers' compensation coverage. The Company believes that its present
insurance coverage is adequate.
Employees and Labor Relations
As of March 31, 2000 the Company had approximately 3,900 employees. None of the
Company's employees are represented by a labor organization. Management believes
its relationship with the Company's employees is satisfactory.
Cautionary Statements - Forward Outlook and Risks
Information provided herein by the Company contains, and from time to time the
Company may disseminate material and make statements which may contain
"forward-looking" information, as that term is defined by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). These cautionary statements are being
made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining
the benefits of "safe harbor" provisions of the Act. The Company cautions
investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not
guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors
including but not limited to the following:
a) Regulation and Reform
Legislative proposals are continually introduced or proposed in Congress and in
some state legislatures that would effect major changes in the health care
system, either nationally or at the state level. However, the Company cannot
predict whether any of the proposals will be adopted, and if adopted, no
assurance can be given that the implementation of such reforms will not have a
material impact on the operations of the Company.
b) Maryland Concentration
For the year ended March 31, 2000 approximately 29% of the Company's revenues
and 50% of segment contribution were generated from Maryland operations where
approximately 92% of that revenue is derived from Maryland Medicaid
reimbursement programs. Although the Company is not aware of any significant
initiatives currently underway that would have a material adverse impact on the
Maryland reimbursement program or the Company, the Company could be materially
impacted by unfavorable changes in the future should they occur.
c) Other Reimbursement Changes
The Company derives substantial portions of its revenues from third-party
payors, including government reimbursement programs such as Medicaid, and
non-government sources such as commercial insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs and
contract services. These payors have undertaken cost-containment measures
designed to limit payments to health care providers. There can be no assurance
that payments under these programs will be sufficient to cover the costs
allocable to patients eligible for reimbursement. The Company cannot predict
whether and what additional proposals or cost containment measures will be
adopted or, if adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals might have on the
operations of the Company.
d) Competition
The Company competes with numerous well-established competitors which have
substantially greater financial resources than the Company. Competitors are
increasingly focusing attention on providing alternative site health care
services, specifically on adult day health services. Such increasing competition
may adversely affect revenues and profitability of Company operations.
e) Insurance
The Company believes its present insurance coverage is adequate. However, there
can be no assurance that such insurance will be available, or, if available,
that such insurance will be either adequate to cover the Company's liabilities
or available at affordable rates. In addition, increasing insurance costs, and
the increasing unwillingness of insurance companies to insure against certain
types of losses, raise some questions as to whether the Company will be able to
obtain or continue its present insurance coverage. The inability to obtain
adequate insurance coverage at affordable rates, or a loss of existing coverage,
could have a material effect on the Company.
f) Private Payment Sources
The Company's future operating results may be dependent in part upon its ability
to attract customers able to pay for the Company's charges from their own and
their families' financial resources. Circumstances which adversely affect the
ability or desire of seniors to pay for the Company's services could have an
adverse effect on the Company. In the event that the Company encounters
difficulty in attracting seniors with adequate resources to pay for the
Company's services, the Company would be adversely affected.
g) Acquisitions
The Company seeks to establish and increase market share through acquisitions in
existing and new markets. The Company evaluates potential acquisition candidates
that would complement or expand its current services. In attempting to make
acquisitions, the Company competes with other providers, some of which have
greater financial resources than the Company. Management currently believes that
acquisition candidates meeting the criteria of its acquisition strategy will
continue to be identified in the future and certain of these candidates will be
acquired by the Company. However, there can be no assurance that suitable
acquisitions will continue to be identified or that acquisitions can be
consummated on acceptable terms. See separate cautionary statement regarding
financing.
h) Inclement Weather
The Company provides its services to individuals in home and community settings.
Due to the Company's geographic concentrations, severe weather such as snow and
hurricanes may hinder the Company's ability to provide its services and can
impact the Company's operating results.
i) Financing
The Company's ability to pursue its strategic plan is dependent upon its ability
to obtain financing on satisfactory terms and conditions. If the Company is
unable to obtain satisfactory financing it would have an adverse impact on the
Company's liquidity and its ability to execute its development plans.
j) ADC Development
During fiscal 2001, the Company plans to develop 3-6 new adult day health
centers after which the Company plans to continue development efforts at a
similar or accelerated pace. The Company's ability to achieve its development
plans will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the
Company's control. There can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer
delays in its development program, which could slow the Company's growth. The
successful development of additional operations will involve a number of risks
including the possibility that the Company may be unable to locate suitable
sites at acceptable prices or may be unable to obtain, or may experience delays
in obtaining, necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy, licensing and
other required governmental permits and authorizations or in actual
construction. The implementation of the Company's development strategy is also
dependent upon the Company's profitability, the financial performance of its
adult day care operations, the availability of financing and the other
Cautionary Statements listed above.
k) Disposition of Visiting Nurse Operations
The Company operates Medicare certified home health agencies, under a plan of
disposition. The ultimate outcome of that plan of disposition is highly
dependant upon the rate of reimbursement HCFA establishes for the new
Prospective Payment System (PPS) as described elsewhere herein. The Company is
unable to predict at this time what Medicare payment rates will be under PPS.
Likewise the Company is unable to predict what impact, if any, PPS will have on
the disposition values of its visiting nurse operations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's executive offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky in
approximately 21,000 square feet of space leased from an unaffiliated party.
The Company has 47 real estate leases ranging from approximately 200 to 24,000
square feet of space in their respective locations. The Company believes that
its facilities are adequate to meet its current needs, and that additional or
substitute facilities will be available if needed.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, from time to time, is subject to claims and suits arising in the
ordinary course of its business, including claims for damages for personal
injuries. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any of these
pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
On January 26, 1994 Franklin Capital Associates L.P., Aetna Life and Casualty
Company and Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, shareholders, who at one time
held approximately 320,000 shares of the Company's common stock (approximately
13% of shares outstanding) filed suit in Chancery Court of Williamson County,
Tennessee claiming unspecified damages not to exceed three million dollars in
connection with registration rights they received in the Company's acquisition
of certain home health operations in February 1991. The suit alleges the Company
failed to use its best efforts to register the shares held by the plaintiffs as
required by the merger agreement. The Company settled with Aetna shortly before
the case went to trial in February 2000. In mid-trial Franklin voluntarily
withdrew its complaint reserving its legal rights to bring a new suit as allowed
under Tennessee law. In May 2000, Franklin refiled its claim. The Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and does not expect that the
ultimate outcome of the suit will have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations, liquidity or financial position. The Company plans to
vigorously defend its position in this case. Anticipated costs of litigation
have been included in the Company's one-time charge for discontinuing its home
health operations recorded in September 1999.

Net Revenues
Net revenues increased 13% to $44.7 million from $39.6 million in the prior
year. Growth came primarily from volumes, which grew to 636,394 days of care in
2000 from 544,283 in 1999. Average revenue per day of care increased 11.5% due
to mix changes and price increases. Increased volumes were derived primarily
from increased occupancy in the adult day care centers which grew to 73% of
capacity in 2000 from 70% of capacity in 1999. Average capacity increased to
1,588 in 2000 from 1,496 in 1999. As of April 1, 2000 total system capacity was
1,621 guests per day.
Cost of Sales and Services
Cost of sales and services as a percent of revenues declined to 84% in 2000 from
85% in 1999 primarily as a result of increased volumes of business and increased
occupancy rates for in-facility care.
Selling, General and Administrative
The decrease of $169,235 is due primarily to reduced administrative costs due to
the Company's strategic repositioning and down-sizing activities. SG&A as a
percent of revenues dropped to 9.9% in 2000 from 11.6% in 1999.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by 3% or $23,514 due to capital
expenditures.
Provision for Uncollectible Accounts
Management establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on its
estimate of probable collection losses. The increase in provision for
uncollectible accounts resulted from certain individual customer accounts which
became aged during the period.
Interest, Net
The decrease in interest, net is primarily a result of lower average outstanding
debt levels associated with the Company's improved operating results and
proceeds from the sale of the product operations.

Net Revenues
Net revenues increased 30% to $39.6 million from $30.4 million in the prior
year. Growth came primarily from volumes, which grew to 544,283 days of care in
1999 from 442,337 in 1998. Average revenue per day of care increased
approximately 5% as a result of pricing and mix changes. Increased volumes were
derived primarily from increased occupancy in the adult day care centers which
grew to 70% of capacity in 1999 from 60% of capacity in 1998.
Cost of Sales and Services
Cost of sales and services as a percent of revenues declined to 85% in 1999 from
90% in 1998 primarily as a result of increased volumes of business and increased
occupancy rates for in-facility care.
Selling, General and Administrative
The increase of $269,128 is primarily due to growth in the size of the
operations. SG&A as a percent of revenues dropped to 11.6% in 1999 from 14.2% in
1998.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was approximately the same as 1998 due to the
following factors: the June 1998 non-recurring write-down of goodwill, partially
offset by the impact of capital expenditures, net of certain property items
still in service reaching the end of their useful lives.
Provision for Uncollectible Accounts
Management establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on its
estimate of probable collection losses. The increase in provision for
uncollectible accounts resulted from certain individual customer accounts which
became uncollectible during the period.
Interest, Net
The increase in interest, net was primarily a result of higher average
outstanding debt levels .
Income Taxes - Years Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
As of March 31, 2000, the Company has net deferred tax assets of approximately
$3.5 million. The net deferred tax asset is composed of $3.4 million of
long-term deferred tax assets and $117,000 of current deferred tax assets.
The Company has provided a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax
assets based upon management's estimation of realizability of those assets
through future taxable income. This valuation was based in large part on the
Company's history of generating operating income or losses, individual tax
locales and expectations for the future. The Company's ability to generate the
expected amounts of taxable income from future operations is dependent upon
general economic conditions, competitive pressures on revenues and margins and
legislation and regulation at all levels of government. Management has
considered the above factors in reaching its conclusions that it is more likely
than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the net
deferred tax assets. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will
meet its expectations of future taxable income.
The effective income tax rate was approximately 42% of income before income
taxes for 2000 as compared to an effective income tax rate of approximately
41.25% of loss before taxes for 1999 and 1998. The benefit in 1999 and 1998
resulted directly from the recognition of losses incurred from continuing
operations and was provided at a lower than statutory rate due to the tax
implications of state and local net operating loss carryforwards arising from
the 1999 and 1998 losses.
Loss on Disposal of Certain Operations
The accompanying income statement for fiscal 2000 includes a one-time charge of
$416,808 ($241,749 after tax or $0.08) per share related to the closure of the
Company's Birmingham AL adult day care center. The charge consists of future
lease obligations and unamortized leasehold improvements.
Discontinued Operations
As part of a formal plan of separation, the Company on November 12, 1999 sold
its product operations (consisting of infusion therapy and respiratory and
medical equipment businesses) to Lincare Holdings, Inc. in an asset sale for
$14.5 million and is pursuing available strategic alternatives to complete the
separation of its visiting nurse operations. Proceeds from the sale were used to
repay obligations outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit. As a
result of the operational separations, the Company has recorded a one-time net
of tax loss of approximately $5 million or ($1.60) in the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. This charge reduced the book value of the operations to
their expected net realizable value provides for losses on fulfilling center
obligations and close down costs and includes the estimated future operating
results of the visiting nurse operations prior to separation. These changes have
been accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial
statements.
The estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations reflected in the
accompanying financial statements includes management's estimate of the results
of operating the visiting nurse segment prior to disposal and the estimated
financial results of such disposal based on information currently available. The
form and timing of the implementation of a Medicare Prospective Payment System
for home care (PPS) may have a material impact on the disposal value of the
visiting nurse operations, as described in more detail in the notes to the
accompanying financial statements.
Revenues from discontinued operations were approximately $46,742,000,
$57,542,000 and $64,799,000 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
respectively. For periods prior to the sale, interest expense has been allocated
to continuing and discontinued operations on the basis of relative net assets.
Accordingly, interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations in
the amounts of approximately $613,000, $1,034,000 and $655,000 for the years
ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
The accompanying balance sheet includes net current assets and liabilities of
discontinued operations, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, inventory,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long term assets of discontinued
operations consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment, net of
accumulated depreciation and goodwill.
Building Sale
In May 1999, the Company sold an office building resulting in a non-operating
loss of $91,701. The transaction generated net cash of $79,093 after repaying
mortgage debt of approximately $40,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a $20 million revolving credit facility with Bank One Kentucky,
NA. The credit facility bears interest at prime plus a margin (ranging from 0%
to 1.0%, currently 0.50%) dependent upon total leverage and is secured by
substantially all assets and the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. Borrowings
are available equal to the greater of: a) a multiple of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined) or, b) an asset
based formula, primarily based on accounts receivable. Borrowings under the
facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, development and
growth of the business and other corporate purposes. The facility has an
expiration date of April 10, 2001.
As part of a formal plan of separation, the Company sold its product operations
(consisting of infusion therapy and respiratory and medical equipment
businesses) to Lincare Holdings, Inc. in an asset sale for $14.5 million and is
pursuing available strategic alternatives to complete the separation of its
visiting nurse operations. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay obligations
outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit. As of March 31, 2000
approximately $3.2 million remained outstanding on the line of credit. The
Company has retained certain assets and liabilities associated with the
discontinued operations, the liquidation of which, together with disposition of
the visiting nurse operations, are expected to reduce the Company's bank
borrowings to approximately $651,000. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2000,
approximately $2.5 million of debt has been classified with net assets from
discontinued operations in the accompanying balance sheet
The Company believes that this facility will be sufficient to fund its operating
needs for at least the next twelve months.
Management will continue to evaluate additional capital including possible debt
and equity investments in the Company to support a more rapid development of the
business than would be possible with internal funds.
Cash Flows and Financial Conditions

Net Change in Cash and Cash $ 391 $ 218 $ (191)
Equivalents ======== ======== ========
2000
Net cash used by operating activities resulted principally from current period
income, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses. The increase in accounts receivable resulted from volume increases.
Days sales outstanding declined to 53 from 59 at March 31, 2000. The increase in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted from additional volume and
increased tax liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities resulted
principally from amounts invested in adult day health services expansion
activities, and improvements in information systems and, net of cash generated
from the sale of a building. Net cash used in financing activities resulted
primarily from reduced borrowings under the Company's credit facility resulting
from proceeds from the sale of the product operations, and reduced mortgage
obligations related to the building sold.
1999
Net cash used by operating activities resulted principally from current period
loss, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses. The decrease in accounts receivable resulted from volume decreases.
The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted principally
from the timing of payments. Net cash used in investing activities resulted
principally from amounts invested in adult day health services expansion
activities, and improvements in information systems. Net cash used in financing
activities resulted primarily from reduced borrowings under the Company's credit
facility.
1998
Net cash used by operating activities resulted principally from current period
losses, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses. Net cash used in investing activities resulted principally from
amounts invested in adult day health services expansion activities, the
acquisition of certain operations and improvements in information systems. Net
cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from an increase in the
Company's credit facility.
Year 2000 Computer System Issue
The Company has experienced no significant business issues related to the Year
2000 computer issue. Expenditures related to this issue were not material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
Health Care Reform
The health care industry has experienced, and is expected to continue to
experience, extensive and dynamic change. In addition to economic forces and
regulatory influences, continuing political debate is subjecting the health care
industry to significant reform. Health care reforms have been enacted as
discussed elsewhere in this document and proposals for additional changes are
continuously formulated by departments of the federal government, Congress, and
state legislatures.
Government officials can be expected to continue to review and assess
alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Changes in
the law or new interpretations of existing laws may have a dramatic effect on
the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative cost of
doing business, and the methods and amounts of payments for medical care by both
governmental and other payors. Legislative changes to "balance the budget" and
slow the annual rate of growth of expenditures are expected to continue. Such
future changes may further impact reimbursement. There can be no assurance that
future legislation or regulatory changes will not have a material adverse effect
on the operations of the Company.
State legislative proposals continue to be introduced that would impose more
limitations on payments to providers of health care services such as the
Company. Many states have enacted, or are considering enacting, measures that
are designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures.
The Company cannot predict what additional government regulations may be enacted
in the future affecting its business or how existing or future laws and
regulations might be interpreted, or whether the Company will be able to comply
with such laws and regulations in its existing or future markets.
Refer to the sections on Reimbursement Changes and Cautionary Statements -
Forward Outlook and Risks in Part I, and the notes to the accompanying financial
statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations all included in this Form 10K for additional information.
Impact of Inflation
Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on income
during the past several years.
ITEM 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments.
Market Risk of Financial Instruments
The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments
is to changes in interest rates.
At March 31, 2000, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term
interest rates would result in a reduction of approximately $6,500 in annual
pre-tax earnings from continuing operations.

ALMOST FAMILY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY CARETENDERS HEALTH CORP.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
39
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Almost Family,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company"). Almost Family, Inc. and
subsidiaries (collectively "Almost Family" or the "Company") provide
alternatives for seniors and other adults with special needs and their families
who wish to avoid nursing home placement as long as possible and remain
independent, through its network of adult day care centers and ancillary
services. Refer also to Note 11 for a discussion of discontinued operations. The
Company has operations in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, and Ohio. All material intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Uninsured deposits at March 31, 2000, and 1999 were approximately $1.3 million
and $939,000, respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives
of depreciable assets are as follows:
Estimated
Useful Life
-----------
Buildings and improvements 30
Leasehold improvements 3-10
Medical equipment 2-10
Office and other equipment 3-10
Transportation equipment 3-5
Included in property and equipment is rental equipment which may be sold. Upon
sale, the cost net of related accumulated depreciation is charged to costs of
sales and services.
COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED
The costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired are stated at cost and
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which
generally range from 20 (approximately $1.2 million, net) to 40 years
(approximately $1.3 million, net).
Subsequent to its acquisitions, the Company evaluates whether events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of
goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of goodwill may not
be recoverable. When factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for
possible impairment, the Company utilizes appropriate methods (such as
discounted cash flows over the remaining life of the goodwill) in measuring
whether or not the goodwill is recoverable.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company recorded a non-recurring
write-down of goodwill of $113,196 before taxes. The write-down of goodwill was
required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 ("SFAS 121"),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" based upon management's estimate of the future cash flows from
operations in one of its adult day health centers.
CAPITALIZATION POLICIES
Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred.
Major renovations and replacements are capitalized to appropriate property and
equipment accounts. Upon sale or retirement of property, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the related gain
or loss is recognized in income.
Construction costs incurred to ready a project for its intended use are
capitalized for major development projects and are amortized over the lives of
the related assets.
PREOPENING COSTS
Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position 98-5
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities" (SOP 98-5) which requires all
costs incurred readying a new business for operation prior to revenue generation
to be expensed as incurred. The Company had previously deferred such costs and
amortized them over a period of 24 months, which was permissible previous to the
issuance of SOP 98-5. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations for
the year ended March 31, 1999 includes a non-recurring, net of tax, expense of
approximately $171,000 for the cumulative effect of this change in accounting
principle.
NET REVENUES
The Company is paid for its services primarily by federal and state third-party
reimbursement programs, commercial insurance companies, and patients. Revenues
are recorded at established rates in the period during which the services are
rendered. Appropriate allowances to give recognition to third party payment
arrangements are recorded when the services are rendered.
Approximately 9.8%, 8.4%, and 5.2%, of net revenues for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, were derived under federal and
state third-party cost-based reimbursement programs. These revenues are based on
cost reimbursement principles and are subject to examination and retroactive
adjustment by agencies administering the programs. Management continuously
evaluates the outcome of these reimbursement examinations and provides
allowances for losses based upon the best available information. In the opinion
of management, adjustments, if any, would not be material to the financial
position or the results of operations of the Company.
The ability of payors to meet their obligations depends upon their financial
stability, future legislation and regulatory actions. The Company does not
believe there are any significant credit risks associated with receivables from
federal and state third-party reimbursement programs. The allowance for doubtful
accounts principally consists of management's estimate of amounts that may prove
uncollectible from non-governmental payors. The allowance for uncollectible
accounts was approximately $862,000 and $599,000 at March 31, 2000, and 1999
respectively.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income per share is presented as a unit of basic shares outstanding and
diluted shares outstanding. Diluted shares outstanding is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding. Common equivalent shares result from dilutive stock options and
warrants. The following table is a reconciliation of basic to diluted shares
used in the earnings per share calculation:
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31,
--------------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
------------- ----------- ------------
Basic weighted average outstanding
shares 3,124,016 3,120,436 3,120,436
Add-common equivalent shares
representing shares issuable upon
exercise of dilutive options - - 41,270
and warrants
------------- ----------- ------------
Diluted weighted average number of 3,124,016 3,120,436 3,161,706
shares at year end
============= =========== ============
Due to the net losses incurred in fiscal 2000 and 1999, common equivalent shares
are excluded due to their anti-dilutive effect.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Refer also to the notes "NET
REVENUES" and "HEALTHCARE REFORM LEGISLATION, REGULATIONS AND MARKET
CONDITIONS".
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and
payable and debt instruments. The book values of cash and accounts receivable
and payable are considered representative of their respective fair values. The
fair value of the Company's debt instruments approximate their carrying values
as substantially all of such debt has rates which fluctuate with changes in
market rates.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1999 and 1998 financial statements
in order to conform them to the 2000 presentation. Such reclassifications had no
effect on previously reported net income
NOTE 2 - HEALTHCARE REFORM LEGISLATION, REGULATIONS AND MARKET CONDITIONS
Health Care Reform
The health care industry has experienced, and is expected to continue to
experience, extensive and dynamic change. In addition to economic forces and
regulatory influences, continuing political debate is subjecting the health care
industry to significant reform. Health care reforms have been enacted as
discussed elsewhere in this document and proposals for additional changes are
continuously formulated by departments of the federal government, Congress, and
state legislatures.
Government officials can be expected to continue to review and assess
alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Changes in
the law or new interpretations of existing laws may have a dramatic effect on
the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative cost of
doing business, and the methods and amounts of payments for medical care by both
governmental and other payors. Legislative changes to "balance the budget" and
slow the annual rate of growth of expenditures are expected to continue. Such
future changes may further impact reimbursement. There can be no assurance that
future legislation or regulatory changes will not have a material adverse effect
on the operations of the Company.
State legislative proposals continue to be introduced that would impose more
limitations on payments to providers of health care services such as the
Company. Many states have enacted, or are considering enacting, measures that
are designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures.
The Company cannot predict what additional government regulations may be enacted
in the future affecting its business or how existing or future laws and
regulations might be interpreted, or whether the Company will be able to comply
with such laws and regulations in its existing or future markets.
Refer to the sections on Reimbursement Changes and Cautionary Statements -
Forward Outlook and Risks in Part I, and the notes to the accompanying financial
statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations all included in this Form 10K for additional information.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Depreciation expense was approximately $840,000, $825,000 and $841,000 for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
NOTE 5 - REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
The Company has a $20 million revolving credit facility with Bank One Kentucky,
NA. The credit facility bears interest at prime plus a margin (ranging from 0%
to 1.0%, currently 0.50%) dependent upon total leverage and is secured by
substantially all assets and the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. Borrowings
are available equal to the greater of: a) a multiple of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined) or, b) an asset
based formula, primarily based on accounts receivable. Borrowings under the
facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, development and
growth of the business and other corporate purposes. The facility has an
expiration date of April 10, 2001.
As part of a formal plan of separation, the Company sold its product operations
(consisting of infusion therapy and respiratory and medical equipment
businesses) to Lincare Holdings, Inc. in an asset sale for $14.5 million and is
pursuing available strategic alternatives to complete the separation of its
visiting nurse operations. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay obligations
outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit. As of March 31, 2000
approximately $3.2 million remained outstanding on the line of credit. The
Company has retained certain assets and liabilities associated with the
discontinued operations, the liquidation of which, together with disposition of
the visiting nurse operations, are expected to reduce the Company's bank
borrowings to approximately $651,000. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2000,
approximately $2.5 million of debt has been classified with net assets from the
discontinued operations in the accompanying balance sheet. See Note 11.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the Company's book
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and tax carryforwards using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The principal tax carryforwards and temporary differences were as follows:

=============== ============== ===============
The Company has provided a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax
assets based upon management's estimation of realizability of those assets
through future taxable income. This valuation was based in large part on the
Company's history of generating operating income or losses in individual tax
locales and expectations for the future. The Company's ability to generate the
expected amounts of taxable income from future operations to realize its
recorded net tax assets is dependent upon general economic conditions,
competitive pressures on revenues and margins and legislation and regulation at
all levels of government. There can be no assurances that the Company will meet
its expectations of future taxable income. However, management has considered
the above factors in reaching its conclusions that it is more likely than not
that future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the net deferred
tax assets as of March 31, 2000.
During fiscal 2000, based on changes in facts and circumstances, favorable
changes occurred in the Company's expectations with regard to the generation of
future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Accordingly, the state and
local tax provision for fiscal 2000 includes a reduction of previously recorded
valuation allowances of approximately $131,000.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company has fully utilized its Federal net operating
loss carryforward.
NOTE 7 - Shareholders Equity
Employee Stock Option Plans
1. The Company has a Nonqualified Stock Option Plan which provides for the
granting of options to key employees, officers, and directors, to purchase up to
220,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Board of Directors determined
the amount and terms of the options which cannot exceed ten years. The period of
time for granting options under this plan has expired.
2. The Company has a Supplemental Nonqualified Stock Option Plan which provides
options to purchase up to 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock to key
employees and non-employee consultants. The Board of Directors determined the
amount and terms of the options, which cannot exceed ten years. The period of
time for granting options under this plan has expired.
3. The Company has a 1991 Long-term Incentive Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
which provides options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock to key employees, officers, and directors. The Board of Directors will
determine the amount and terms of the options, which cannot exceed ten years.
4. The Company has a 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-employee Directors which
provides options to purchase up to 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock
to directors who are not employees. Each newly elected director or any director
who does not possess options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common
stock will automatically be granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price based on the market price as of the date of grant.
Changes in qualified options, non-qualified options, and supplemental
non-qualified options and warrants outstanding are summarized as follows:

At March 31, 2000 and 1999, all outstanding warrants were exercisable. The
following table details exercisable options and related information:

Weighted Average Exercise Price $2.53 $2.83
Weighted Average of Fair Value

the year
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for
its stock option plans. In 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) was issued and, if
fully adopted, changes the method of recognition of costs on plans similar to
the Company's. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's stock
option plans. Had compensation cost for the stock option plans been determined
based upon the fair value at the grant date for the awards in 2000, 1999 and
1998 consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the effect on net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
2000 1999 1998
--------------- -------------- -------------
Net Income: As Reported $(4,742,954) $(6,227,667) $ 1,411,811
Pro Forma $(4,853,780) $(6,394,105) $ 1,274,061
Basic EPS: As Reported $ (1.52) $ (2.00) $ 0.45
Pro Forma $ (1.55) $ (2.05) $ 0.41
Diluted EPS: As Reported $ (1.52) $ (2.00) $ 0.45
Pro Forma $ (1.55) $ (2.05) $ 0.40
Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
awarded prior to April 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may
not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at
March 31, 2000:

============= ==============
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for awards in 2000 and 1999 respectively: risk-free interest
rates of 6.05% and 4.8%, expected volatility of approximately 50% and 106%,
expected lives of 9.76 and 6.96 years and no expected dividend yields.
Shareholders Rights Plan
On February 1, 1999 the Company implemented a shareholder protection rights
plan. One right was distributed as a dividend on each share of common stock of
the Company held of record as of the close of business on February 16, 1999. The
rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 20% or more of the Company's common stock or announces a tender of
exchange offer upon consummation of which, such person or group would
beneficially own 20% or more of the common stock of the Company. If the rights
are triggered, then each right not owned by the acquiring person or group
entitles its holder to purchase shares of Company common stock at the right's
current exercise price, having a value of twice the right's exercise price. The
Company may redeem the rights at any time until the close of business on the
tenth business day following an announcement by the Company that an acquiring
person or group has become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company's
common stock.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Operating Leases
The Company leases certain real estate, office space, vehicles and equipment
under noncancellable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2008.
Rent expense amounted to approximately $3.3 million, $3.3 million, and $3.2
million for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. At March 31, 2000 the minimum
rental payments under these leases are as follows:
2001 $3,386,700
2002 2,398,633
2003 1,581,229
2004 808,465
2005 263,442
(b) Employment Contracts
The Company has an employment contract with an officer. In connection with this
contract, the Company is contractually obligated to pay an annual base salary of
$190,000 for one year with automatic one year renewals. In addition, the
agreement contains contingent obligations associated with performance bonuses
and severance.
(c) Medical Malpractice Claims
The Company has insurance coverage with respect to medical malpractice risks.
The malpractice insurance coverage provides coverage up to $1,000,000 per
occurrence, and has no deductible for which the Company would be responsible.
It is the Company's policy to record losses from asserted and unasserted claims
identified by the Company and unreported claims based on estimates that
incorporate the Company's past experience, as well as other considerations
including the nature of each claim or incident and relevant trend factors. Based
on these factors and the Company's insurance coverage, no accrual for potential
losses attributable to asserted and unasserted claims has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements.
(d) Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently, and from time to time, subject to claims and suits
arising in the ordinary course of its business, including claims for damages for
personal injuries. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any
of these pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
On January 26, 1994 Franklin Capital Associates L.P. (Franklin), Aetna Life and
Casualty Company and Aetna Casualty and Surety Company shareholders, who at one
time held approximately 320,000 shares of the Company's common stock
(approximately 13% of shares outstanding) filed suit in Chancery Court of
Williamson County, Tennessee claiming unspecified damages not to exceed three
million dollars in connection with registration rights they received in the
Company's acquisition of certain home health operations in February 1991. The
suit alleges the Company failed to use its best efforts to register the shares
held by the plaintiffs as required by the merger agreement. The Company settled
with both Aetna parties shortly before the case went to trial in February 2000.
In mid-trial Franklin voluntarily withdrew its complaint reserving its legal
rights to bring a new suit as allowed under Tennessee law. In May 2000, Franklin
refiled its claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the
claims and does not expect that the ultimate outcome of the suit will have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial
position. The Company plans to vigorously defend its position in this case.
Anticipated costs of litigation have been included in the Company's one-time
charge for discontinuing its home health operations recorded in September 1999.
NOTE 9 - ACQUISITIONS
During fiscal 2000, the Company acquired one adult day care center for $120,000,
all of which has been accounted for as cost in excess of net assets acquired
(goodwill). This cost is being amortized on a straight line basis over its
estimated useful life (ten years) (see also Note 1). The impact of the above
acquisition was not significant for any of the periods presented and,
accordingly, proforma amounts are not presented illustrating the effects of such
acquisitions.

NOTE 11 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As part of a formal plan of separation, the Company on November 12, 1999 sold
its product operations (consisting of infusion therapy and respiratory and
medical equipment businesses) to Lincare Holdings, Inc. in an asset sale for
$14.5 million and is pursuing available strategic alternatives to complete the
separation of its visiting nurse operations. Proceeds from the sale were used to
repay obligations outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit. As a
result of the operational separations, the Company has recorded a one-time net
of tax loss of approximately $5 million or ($1.60) in the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. This charge reduced the book value of the operations to
their expected net realizable value provides for losses on fulfilling center
obligations and close down costs and includes the estimated future operating
results of the visiting nurse operations prior to separation. These changes have
been accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial
statements.
The estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations reflected in the
accompanying financial statements includes management's estimate of the results
of operating the visiting nurse segment prior to disposal and the estimated
financial results of such disposal based on information currently available. The
form and timing of the implementation of a Medicare Prospective Payment System
(PPS) for home care may have a material impact on the disposal value of the
visiting nurse operations.
Revenues from discontinued operations were approximately $46,742,000,
$57,542,000 and $64,799,000 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
respectively. For periods prior to the sale, interest expense has been allocated
to continuing and discontinued operations on the basis of relative net assets.
Accordingly, interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations in
the amounts of $612,700, $1,034,481 and $655,036 for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
The accompanying balance sheet includes net current assets and liabilities of
discontinued operations, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, inventory,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long term assets of discontinued
operations consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment, net of
accumulated depreciation and goodwill.

To the Stockholders of Almost Family, Inc. (formerly Caretenders Health Corp):
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Almost Family,
Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Almost Family, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
