MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Following is the analysis of the results of operations and financial condition
of the Corporation as of
June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 and for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 and the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
DEPENDENCE ON MINNESOTA MEDICAID PROGRAM
Substantially all revenues of the Corporation are derived from daily resident
rates established by the Department of Human Services (DHS) for its nursing
facility pursuant to the Rate-setting System. Changes in the Rate-setting
System are anticipated but the effects of such changes on the Corporation cannot
be predicted. For instance, in 1995, the State of Minnesota, by statute,
authorized the DHS to establish a contractual alternative payment system, called
the "Nursing Home Contract Project". (See Other Information)
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996.
For the unaudited third quarter of 1997, the three months ended June 30, 1997,
the Corporation's net loss was $32,054 in comparison with a net loss of $62,976
for the same period in 1996, and for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the
net income was $36,509 in comparison with a loss of $110,018 for the same period
in 1996. The year to date income can be attributed to adjusting staffing levels
and budgeting expenses, while the loss in the third quarter may be attributed to
falling census levels from 18,781 days in the first quarter to 17,854 in the
second quarter to 17,503 in the third quarter.
Resident services revenue decreased by $22,461 or 1%, from $2,373,988 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, to $2,351,527 for the three months ended June
30, 1997 and increased by $779,893 or 11% from $6,797,271 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 to $7,577,164 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease in revenue for the third quarter may be due to decreased levels of
therapy utilization of $27,269 for third quarter 1996 to 1997. The increase in
revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 may be due to a blend of
increased rates and a higher census with the Nile Health Care Center addition.
The Nile Health Care Center's daily room rate is approximately $10 per day or 8%
higher than the former Cedar Pines Facility. Additionally, the revenue for the
period October 1996 to December 1996 is at the increased Nile Health Care Center
daily rate, compared to a blend of the Nile Health Facility rate and the lower
Cedar Pines rate from the comparative period in 1995. The Corporation had
previously suspended the operations of the Home Health Services; however,
operations are planned to be resumed in August, 1997.
Operating expenses, which include salaries and benefits, supplies, utilities,
food, purchased services, and general and administrative expenses, decreased
$77,366 or 4% from $2,084,416 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to
$2,007,050 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased $379,642 or 6%
from $5,929,692 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 to $6,309,334 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997. Resident services operating expenses decreased
$88,290 or 4% from $2,082,835 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to
$1,994,545 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased $371,104 or 6%
from $5,925,725 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 to $6,296,829 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997. The net increase is a blend of the increase in
physical plant of Nile Health Care Center from 125 beds to 256 beds for the
first quarter of 1997 and inflationary costs.
Depreciation, amortization and interest expense decreased $6,927 or 2% from
$455,575 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $448,648 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and increased $207,146 or 19% from $1,115,302 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996 to $1,322,448 for the nine months ended June 30,
1997. The increase is a result of the interest rate increases with the Series
1994 bonds which bear interest from 5% to 7.75%, and the increased depreciation
from additional fixed assets.
-7-
The Corporation's estimated income tax recoverable for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 was $41,984 based on a pretax (loss) of $104,960 and for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, estimated income tax recoverable was $21,369 based
on a pretax (loss) of $53,423. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996,
estimated income tax recoverable was $73,345 based on a pretax (loss) of
$183,363 and for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, estimated income tax
expense was $24,340 based on a pretax income of $60,849. Both periods resulted
in an effective income tax rate of 40%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Corporation does not maintain any line of credit or other external sources
of liquidity.
At June 30, 1997, the Corporation had $1,097,804 in cash, and working capital of
$504,682 based upon current assets of $1,886,853 and current liabilities of
$1,382,171 and at September 30, 1996, the Corporation had $505,128 in cash, and
working capital of $398,942 based upon current assets of $2,516,020 and current
liabilities of $2,117,078. During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, cash
increased $592,676. Net cash provided by operating activities was $861,589 for
the nine months ended
June 30, 1997.
Accounts Payable has decreased $244,380 from September 30, 1996 to June 30,
1997, mainly as a result of keeping more current on payment of invoices.
As of June 30, 1997, total outstanding Long-Term Debt of the Corporation
equaled $12,770,000 consisting of the Series 1994 Taxable Health Care Facilities
Revenue Bonds and the Series 1994 Health Care Facility Refunding Revenue Bonds,
both of which are secured equally and ratably on parity by a mortgage lien on,
security interest in and an assignment of leases and rents of the Addition.
Unamortized Financing Costs consist of financing costs associated with the
issuance of the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota Taxable Health Care Facilities
Revenue Bonds and the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota Health Care Facilities
Refunding Revenue Bonds.
Assets Whose Use is Limited decreased a net $710,893 from $1,914,098 at
September 30, 1996 to $1,203,205 at June 30, 1997 as a result of payments of
bond principal and interest net with interest earnings and deposits to the Bond
Funds. The net proceeds of the 1994 Taxable Health Care Facilities Bonds are
being held by the trustee in accounts whose use is limited until they are
expended for their designated purposes.
The Corporation has not entered into any material agreements or commitments with
respect to acquisitions or development.
On June 19, 1997, the Local 113 Union was voted in to represent the non-
professional staff of Nile Health Care Center. As of June 30, 1997, no
negotiations have been started.
The Corporation believes the proceeds from the offering of the Bonds, together
with existing capital resources and cash flow from its existing operations, will
be sufficient to make the indebtedness repayments, to make capital additions and
improvements, and to meet other working capital needs for the next twelve
months.
-8-
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The health care industry is labor intensive. Wages and other expenses increase
more rapidly during periods of inflation and when shortages in the labor market
occur. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs in the form of higher
prices. Increases in daily rates under the Rate-setting System generally lag
behind actual cost increases, so the Corporation may have difficulty covering
them in a timely fashion, despite an inflation factor in the rate-setting
process. This is due to the lag between the "reporting period" (when costs are
incurred) and the "rate year" when costs are actually reflected in daily rates
paid to the Corporation for services provided.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. SFAS No. 121 is
effective for the Corporation with the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1996.
The effects of SFAS No. 121 on this Corporation have been insignificant.

reimbursement rates in effect July 1, 1995 with a 2.98% annual
