Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
Our Company is a national healthcare company, which, through wholly owned
subsidiaries, provides psychiatric services to individuals who have behavioral
health disorders including alcohol and drug dependency and to individuals in the
gaming and transportation industries. Our subsidiaries operate substance abuse
treatment facilities in Utah and Virginia, four outpatient psychiatric
facilities in Michigan, four outpatient psychiatric facilities in Nevada one
outpatient psychiatric facility in Arizona and two inpatient psychiatric
facilities in Michigan. We provide management, administrative and help line
services through contracts with major railroads, a call center contract with
Wayne County, Michigan and a smoking cessation contract with a major government
contractor. Through another subsidiary, at three sites, we conduct studies on
the effects of psychiatric pharmaceuticals on a controlled population through
contracts with the manufacturers of these pharmaceuticals. These three sites
include two sites in Arizona acquired in fiscal 2004 through the membership
purchase of Pivotal Research Centers, LLC. We also operate a website,
Wellplace.com, which provides education and training for the behavioral health
professional and internet support services to all of our subsidiaries.
Our Company provides behavioral health services through inpatient and
outpatient facilities. Our substance abuse facilities provide specialized
treatment services to patients who typically have poor recovery prognosis and
who are prone to relapse. These services are offered in small specialty care
facilities, which permit us to provide our clients with efficient and customized
treatment without the significant costs associated with the management and
operation of general acute care hospitals. We tailor these programs and services
to "safety-sensitive" industries and concentrate our marketing efforts on the
transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law
enforcement, gaming and health services industries. Our psychiatric facilities
provide inpatient psychiatric care, intensive outpatient treatment and partial
hospitalization programs to children, adolescents and adults. Our outpatient
mental health clinics provide services to employees of major employers, as well
as to managed care companies and Medicare and Medicaid clients. The psychiatric
services are offered in a larger, more traditional setting than PHC's substance
abuse facilities, enabling PHC to take advantage of economies of scale to
provide cost-effective treatment alternatives.
The Company treats employees who have been referred for treatment as a
result of compliance with Subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988
(commonly known as the Drug Free Workplace Act), which requires employers who
are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug-free
awareness programs which, among other things, inform employees about available
drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs. We also
provide treatment under the Department of Transportation implemented
regulations, which broaden the coverage and scope of alcohol and drug testing
for employees in "safety sensitive" positions in the transportation industry.
The Company was incorporated in 1976 and is a Massachusetts corporation.
Our corporate offices are located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, MA
01960 and our telephone number is (978) 536-2777.

PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES INDUSTRY
Substance Abuse Facilities
Industry Background
The demand for substance abuse treatment services has increased rapidly
over the last decade. The Company believes that the increased demand is related
to clinical advances in the treatment of substance abuse, greater societal
willingness to acknowledge the underlying problems as treatable illnesses,
improved health insurance coverage for addictive disorders and chemical
dependencies and governmental regulation which requires certain employers to
provide information to employees about drug counseling and employee assistance
programs.
To contain costs associated with behavioral health issues in the 1980s,
many private payors instituted managed care programs for reimbursement, which
included pre-admission certification, case management or utilization review and
limits on financial coverage or length of stay. These cost containment measures
have encouraged outpatient care for behavioral problems, resulting in a
shortening of the length of stay and revenue per day in inpatient chemical abuse
facilities. The Company believes that it has addressed these cost containment
measures by specializing in treating relapse-prone patients with poor prognosis
who have failed in other treatment settings. These patients require longer
lengths of stay and come from a wide geographic area. The Company continues to
develop alternatives to inpatient care including partial day and evening
programs in addition to onsite and offsite outpatient programs.
The Company believes that because of the apparent unmet need for certain
clinical and medical services, and its continued expansion into various
modalities of the care of the chemically dependant that its strategy has been
successful despite national trends towards shorter inpatient stays and rigorous
scrutiny by managed care organizations.
Company Operations
The Company has been able to secure insurance reimbursement for longer-term
inpatient treatment as a result of its success with poor prognosis patients. The
Company's two substance abuse facilities work together to refer patients to the
center that best meets the patient's clinical and medical needs. Each facility
caters to a slightly different patient population including high-risk,
relapse-prone chronic alcoholics, drug addicts and dual diagnosis patients
(those suffering from both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders). The
programs are sensitive to the special behavioral health problems of children,
women and Native Americans. The Company concentrates on providing services to
insurers, managed care networks and health maintenance organizations for both
adults and adolescents. The Company's clinicians often work directly with
managers of employee assistance programs to select the best treatment facility
possible for their clients.
Each of the Company's facilities operates a case management program for
each patient including a clinical and financial evaluation of a patient's
circumstances to determine the most cost-effective modality of care from among
outpatient treatment, detoxification, inpatient, day care, specialized relapse
treatment and others. In addition to any care provided at one of the Company's
facilities, the case management program for each patient includes aftercare.
Aftercare may be provided through the outpatient services provided by a
facility. Alternatively, the Company may arrange for outpatient aftercare, as
well as family and mental health services, through its numerous affiliations
with clinicians located across the country once the patient is discharged.
In general, the Company does not accept patients who do not have either
insurance coverage or adequate financial resources to pay for treatment. Each of
the Company's substance abuse facilities does, however, provide treatment free
of charge to a small number of patients each year who are unable to pay for
treatment, but who meet certain clinical criteria and who are believed by the
Company to have the requisite degree of motivation for treatment to be
successful. In addition, the Company provides follow-up treatment free of charge
to relapse patients who satisfy certain criteria. The number of patient days
attributable to all patients who receive treatment free of charge in any given
fiscal year is less than 5% of the total patient days.
4
The Company believes that it has benefited from an increased awareness of
the need to make substance abuse treatment services accessible to the nation's
workforce. For example, The Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires employers
who are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug free
awareness programs to inform employees about available drug counseling,
rehabilitation and employee assistance programs and the consequences of drug
abuse violations. In response to the Drug Free Workplace Act, many companies,
including many major national corporations and transportation companies, have
adopted policies that provide for treatment options as an alternative to
termination of employment.
Although the Company does not directly provide federally approved mandated
drug testing, the Company treats employees who have been referred to the Company
as a result of compliance with the Drug Free Workplace Act, particularly from
companies that are part of the gaming industry as well as safety sensitive
industries such as railroads, airlines, trucking firms, oil and gas exploration
companies, heavy equipment companies, manufacturing companies and health
services.
HIGHLAND RIDGE - Highland Ridge is a 41-bed, freestanding alcohol and drug
treatment hospital, which the Company has been operating since 1984. The
hospital increased its bed capacity to 41 from 32 in November 2003 and expanded
medical staff to include psychiatric care in its treatment plans. Its focus
remains substance abuse and is the oldest facility dedicated to substance abuse
in Utah. Highland Ridge is accredited by The Joint Commission on Accreditation
of Healthcare Organizations ("The Joint Commission") and is licensed by the Utah
Department of Health. Highland Ridge is recognized nationally for its excellence
in treating substance abuse disorders.
Although Highland Ridge does provide services to individuals from all of
the States through contracts with the Railroads and other major employers, most
patients at this facility are from Utah and surrounding states. Individuals
typically access Highland Ridge's services through professional referrals,
family members, employers, employee assistance programs or contracts between the
Company and health maintenance organizations located in Utah.
Highland Ridge was the first private for-profit hospital to address
specifically the special needs of chemically dependent women in Salt Lake
County. In addition, Highland Ridge has contracted with Salt Lake County to
provide medical detoxification services targeted to women. The hospital also
operates a specialized continuing care support group to address the unique needs
of women and minorities.
A pre-admission evaluation, which involves an evaluation of psychological,
cognitive and situational factors, is completed for each prospective patient. In
addition, each prospective patient is given a physical examination upon
admission. Diagnostic tools, including those developed by the American
Psychological Association, the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the
Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory are used to develop an individualized
treatment plan for each client. The treatment regimen involves an
interdisciplinary team which integrates the twelve-step principles of self-help
organizations, medical detoxification, individual and group counseling, family
therapy, psychological assessment, psychiatric support, stress management,
dietary planning, vocational counseling and pastoral support. Highland Ridge
also offers extensive aftercare assistance at programs strategically located in
areas of client concentration throughout the United States. Highland Ridge
maintains a comprehensive array of professional affiliations to meet the needs
of discharged patients and other individuals not admitted to the hospital for
treatment.
Highland Ridge periodically conducts or participates in research projects.
Highland Ridge was the site of a research project conducted by the University of
Utah Medical School. The research explored the relationship between individual
motivation and treatment outcomes. The research was regulated and reviewed by
the Human Subjects Review Board of the University of Utah and was subject to
federal standards that delineated the nature and scope of research involving
human subjects. Highland Ridge benefited from this research by expanding its
professional relationships within the medical school community and by applying
the findings of the research to improve the quality of services the Company
delivers.
MOUNT REGIS - Mount Regis is a 25-bed, freestanding alcohol and drug
treatment center located in Salem, Virginia, near Roanoke. The Company acquired
the center in 1987. It is the oldest of its kind in the Roanoke Valley. Mount
Regis is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by the Department of
Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, Mount Regis operates Changes, an
outpatient clinic, at its Salem, Virginia location. The Changes clinic provides
structured intensive
5
outpatient treatment for patients who have been discharged from Mount Regis and
for patients who do not need the formal structure of a residential treatment
program. The program is licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and approved
for reimbursement by major insurance carriers.
Similar to Highland Ridge, the programs at Mount Regis Center are sensitive
to the needs of women and minorities. The majority of Mount Regis clients are
from Virginia and surrounding states. In addition, because of its relatively
close proximity and accessibility to New York, Mount Regis has been able to
attract an increasing number of referrals from New York-based labor unions.
Mount Regis has also been able to attract a growing number of clients through
the Internet. Mount Regis has established programs that allow the Company to
better treat dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse
and psychiatric disorders), cocaine addiction and relapse-prone patients. The
multi-disciplinary case management, aftercare and family programs are key to the
prevention of relapse.
General Psychiatric Facilities
Introduction
The Company believes that its proven ability to provide high quality,
cost-effective care in the treatment of substance abuse has enabled it to grow
in the related behavioral health field of psychiatric treatment. The Company's
main advantage is its ability to provide an integrated delivery system of
inpatient and outpatient care. As a result of integration, the Company is better
able to manage and track patients.
The Company offers inpatient and partial hospitalization psychiatry
services and residential treatment to adjudicated juveniles through Harbor Oaks
Hospital. The Company also provides residential treatment to adjudicated
juveniles through Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc. The Company also currently
operates nine outpatient psychiatric facilities.
The Company's philosophy at these facilities is to provide the most
appropriate and efficacious care with the least restrictive modality of care. An
attending physician, a case manager and a clinical team, work together to manage
the care plan. The integrated delivery system allows for better patient tracking
and follow-up and fewer repeat procedures and therapeutic or diagnostic errors.
Qualified, dedicated staff members take a full history on each new patient, and
through test and evaluation procedures, they provide a thorough diagnostic
write-up of the patient's condition. In addition a physician does a complete
physical examination for each new patient. This information allows the
caregivers to determine which treatment alternative is best suited for the
patient and to design an individualized recovery program for the patient.
Managed health care organizations, state agencies, physicians and patients
themselves refer patients to our facilities. These facilities have a patient
population ranging from children as young as five years of age to senior
citizens. Compared to the substance abuse facilities, the psychiatric facilities
treat a larger percentage of female patients.
HARBOR OAKS - The Company acquired Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 64-bed
psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan, approximately 20 miles
northeast of Detroit, in September 1994. Harbor Oaks Hospital is licensed by the
Michigan Department of Community Health, Medicare certified and accredited by
The Joint Commission. Harbor Oaks provides inpatient psychiatric care, partial
hospitalization and outpatient treatment to children, adolescents and adults.
Harbor Oaks Hospital has treated clients from Macomb, Oakland and St. Clair
counties and has expanded its coverage area to include Wayne, Sanilac and
Livingston counties.
Harbor Oaks has become a primary provider for Medicaid patients from Wayne,
Macomb and St. Clair counties. Utilization of a short-term crisis management
model in conjunction with strong case management has allowed Harbor Oaks to
successfully enter this segment of the market. Reimbursement for these services
is comparable to traditional managed care payors. Given the current climate of
public sector treatment availability, Harbor Oaks anticipates continued growth
in this sector of the business.
Harbor Oaks Hospital also operates a 20-bed residential unit serving
adolescents with substance abuse problems and co-existing mental disorders who
6
have been adjudicated to have committed criminal acts and who have been referred
or required to undergo psychiatric treatment by a court or family service
agency. The patients in the program range from 13 to 18 years of age. The
program provides patients with educational and recreational activities and adult
life functioning skills as well as treatment. Typically, a patient is admitted
to the unit for an initial period of 30 days to six months. A case review is
done for any patient still in the program at six months, and regularly
thereafter, to determine if additional treatment is required. In June of 2007
the Company received State approval to expand the number of beds in the program
to 26. This expansion is expected to be completed in the first quarter of Fiscal
2008.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, Harbor Oaks began operating an
outpatient site near New Baltimore, Michigan. Its close proximity to the
hospital allows for a continuum of care for patients after discharge.
DETROIT BEHAVIORAL INSTITUTE - Detroit Behavioral Institute operates a
50-bed residential facility, located in downtown Detroit, serving adolescents
with a substance abuse problem and a co-existing mental disorder who have been
adjudicated to have committed criminal acts and who have been referred or
required to undergo psychiatric treatment by a court or family service agency.
The facility includes two Units, a thirty bed male unit that opened in November
2004 and a twenty bed female unit that opened in October 2005. The patients in
the program range from 12 to 18 years of age, with a minimum IQ of 70. The
program provides individual, group and family therapy sessions for medication
orientation, anger management, impulse control, grief and loss, family
interactions, coping skills, stress management, substance abuse, discharge and
aftercare planning (home visits and community reintegration), education,
recreation therapy and sexual/physical abuse counseling as required. Typically,
a patient is admitted to the unit for an initial period of 30 days to six
months. A case review is done for any patient still in the program at six
months, and each subsequent six-month period thereafter, to determine if
additional treatment is required. During the fiscal year ended June 2007 the
Company was approved by the State to operate a school for the education of its
residents. This allows the company to integrate the residents' education with
their treatment and provide the best education possible without transporting the
individuals to another site. The Company expects the approval to continue for
the foreseeable future.
HARMONY HEALTHCARE - Harmony Healthcare, which consists of five psychiatric
clinics in Nevada, provides outpatient psychiatric care to children, adolescents
and adults in the local area. Harmony also operates employee assistance programs
for railroads, health care companies and several large gaming companies
including Boyd Gaming Corporation, the MGM Grand and the Venetian with a rapid
response program to provide immediate assistance 24 hours a day and seven days a
week. Harmony also provides outpatient psychiatric care and inpatient
psychiatric case management through capitated rate behavioral health carve-outs
with Behavioral Health Options and PacifiCare Insurance. The agreement with
Behavioral Health Options is a significant contract which began in January 2007
and caused a major expansion of Harmony from two locations to five locations to
better serve the contract population.
NORTH POINT-PIONEER, INC. - North Point consists of three outpatient
clinical offices strategically and geographically located to serve a large and
populous region in Michigan. The clinics provide outpatient psychiatric and
substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults operating under
the name Pioneer Counseling Center. The three clinics are located in close
proximity to the Harbor Oaks facility, which allows for more efficient
integration of inpatient and outpatient services and provides for a larger
coverage area and the ability to share personnel which results in cost savings.
In the first fiscal quarter of 2005, North Point was awarded a contract with
Macomb County Office of Substance Abuse (MCOSA) to provide behavioral health
outpatient and intensive outpatient services for indigent and Medicaid clients
residing in Macomb County. The contract is renewable annually with an estimated
value of $55,000 annually.
Call Center Operations
WELLPLACE, INC. - In the spring of 1994, the Company began to operate a
crisis hotline service under contract with a major transportation client. The
hotline, Wellplace, formerly known as Pioneer Development Support Services, or
PDS2, shown as contract support services on the accompanying statement of
operations, is a national, 24-hour telephone service, which supplements the
services provided by the client's Employee Assistance Programs. The services
provided include information, crisis intervention, critical incidents
coordination, employee counselor support, client monitoring, case management and
health promotion. The hotline is staffed by counselors who refer callers to the
appropriate professional resources for assistance with personal problems. Three
major transportation companies subscribed to these services as of June 30, 2007.
This operation is physically located in Highland Ridge Hospital, but a staff
dedicated to Wellplace provides the services from a separate designated area of
7
the Hospital. Wellplace also contracts with Wayne County Michigan to operate its
call center. This call center is located in downtown Detroit, Michigan. In the
second fiscal quarter of 2005, this contract was expanded to provide
credentialing services to Detroit Wayne County Community Mental Health Carve-out
providers and Agency staff. During fiscal 2006, Wellplace signed an agreement
with a major government contractor to operate a smoking cessation quit line with
internet access. Wellplace has been providing services under this agreement
since November 2005 and was recently notified that the contract would be renewed
for an additional year. Wellplace's primary focus is now on growing its
operations to take advantage of current opportunities and capitalize on the
economies of scale in providing similar services to other companies and
government units.

Research Operations
PIVOTAL RESEARCH CENTERS, INC. - Pivotal Research Centers works with major
pharmaceutical companies to assist in the study of the effects of certain
investigational medication in the treatment of specific illnesses. In April
2004, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest in Pivotal Research
Centers, LLC, thereby expanding the Company's research operations. Pivotal
performs all phases of clinical research for Phase I-IV drugs under development
through three dedicated research sites, including a psychiatric research site.
Pivotal recently expanded its Phase I capabilities to a new 15-bed facility.
Pivotal currently has approximately 27 enrolling studies and an additional 47
ongoing studies with approximately 75-80 percent of Pivotal's research activity
in central nervous system (CNS) research. With a current client base including
Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Cephalon, Forest, GlaxoSmithKline,
Hisamitsu, Lilly, Merck, Mylan, Novartis, Organon, Sepracor and Wyeth, the

Business Strategy
The Company's objective is to become the leading national provider of
behavioral health services.
The Company focuses its marketing efforts on "safety-sensitive" industries
such as transportation and medical. This focus results in customized outcome
oriented programs that the Company believes produce overall cost savings to the
patients and/or client organizations. The Company intends to leverage experience
gained from providing services to customers in certain industries that it
believes will enhance its selling efforts within these certain industries.
Marketing and Customers
The Company markets its substance abuse, inpatient and outpatient
psychiatric health services both locally and nationally, primarily to safety
sensitive industries, including transportation, manufacturing and healthcare
services. Additionally, the Company markets its services in the gaming industry
both in Nevada and nationally and its help line services nationally.
The Company employs six individuals dedicated to marketing the Company's
facilities, two of whom are in the research division. Each facility performs
marketing activities in its local region. The Senior Vice President of the
Company coordinates the Company's national marketing efforts. In addition,
employees at certain facilities perform local marketing activities independent
of the Senior Vice President. The Company, with the support of its owned
integrated outpatient systems and management services, continues to pursue more
at-risk contracts and outpatient, managed health care fee-for-service contracts.
"At risk" contracts require that the Company provide all the clinically
necessary behavioral health services for a group of people for a set fee per
person per month. The Company currently has two at risk contracts with large
insurance carriers, which require the Company to provide behavioral health
services to a large number of its insured for a fixed fee. This at risk contract
represents less than 15% of the Company's total gross revenues. In addition to
providing excellent services and treatment outcomes, the Company will continue
to negotiate pricing policies to attract patients for long-term intensive
treatment which meet length of stay and clinical requirements established by
insurers, managed health care organizations and the Company's internal
professional standards.
The Company's integrated systems of comprehensive outpatient mental health
programs complement the Company's inpatient facilities. These outpatient
programs are strategically located in Nevada, Virginia, Michigan, and Utah. They
make it possible for the Company to offer wholly integrated, comprehensive,
mental health services for corporations and managed care organizations on an
at-risk or exclusive fee-for-service basis. Additionally, the Company operates
Wellplace located in the Highland Ridge facility in Salt Lake City, Utah and in
Detroit, Michigan. Wellplace provides clinical support, referrals, management
and professional services for a number of the Company's national contracts. It
gives the Company the capacity to provide a complete range of fully integrated
mental health services.
The Company provides services to employees of a variety of corporations
including: Boyd Gaming Corporation, CSX Corporation, Cigna Behavioral Health,
MGM Mirage, Union Pacific Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad Hospital Association
and others.
In addition to its direct patient care services, the Company maintains its
web site, Wellplace.com, which provides articles and information of interest to
the general public as well as the behavioral health professional. The Company's
11
internet company also provides the added benefit of web availability of
information for various Employee Assistance Program contracts held and serviced
by those subsidiaries providing direct treatment services.
Competition
The Company's substance abuse programs compete nationally with other health
care providers, including general and chronic care hospitals, both non-profit
and for-profit, other substance abuse facilities and short-term detoxification
centers. Some competitors have substantially greater financial resources than
the Company. The Company believes, however, that it can compete successfully
with such institutions because of its success in treating poor prognosis
patients. The Company will compete through its focus on such patients, its
willingness to negotiate appropriate rates and its capacity to build and service
corporate relationships.
The Company's psychiatric facilities and programs compete primarily within
the respective geographic area serviced by them. The Company competes with
private doctors, hospital-based clinics, hospital-based outpatient services and
other comparable facilities. The main reasons that the Company competes well are
its integrated delivery and dual diagnosis programming. Integrated delivery
provides for more efficient follow-up procedures and reductions in length of
stay. Dual diagnosis programming provides a niche service for clients with a
primary mental health and a secondary substance abuse diagnosis. The Company
developed its dual diagnosis service in response to demand from insurers,
employers and treatment facilities. The Company's internet company provides the
competitive edge for service information and delivery for our direct patient
care programs.
The Company's pharmaceutical research operations compete for studies with
other research companies located in the same areas as our research offices in
Arizona and Utah.
Revenue Sources and Contracts
The Company has entered into relationships with numerous employers, labor
unions and third-party payors to provide services to their employees and members
for the treatment of substance abuse and psychiatric disorders. In addition, the
Company admits patients who seek treatment directly without the intervention of
third parties and whose insurance does not cover these conditions in
circumstances where the patient either has adequate financial resources to pay
for treatment directly or is eligible to receive free care at one of the
Company's facilities. The Company's psychiatric patients either have insurance
or pay at least a portion of treatment costs based on their ability to pay. Most
of our patients are covered by insurance. Free treatment provided each year
amounts to less than 5% of the Company's total patient days.
Each contract is negotiated separately, taking into account the insurance
coverage provided to employees and members, and, depending on such coverage, may
provide for differing amounts of compensation to the Company for different
subsets of employees and members. The charges may be capitated, or fixed with a
maximum charge per patient day, and, in the case of larger clients, frequently
result in a negotiated discount from the Company's published charges. The
Company believes that such discounts are appropriate as they are effective in
producing a larger volume of patient admissions. The Company treats non-contract
patients and bills them on the basis of the Company's standard per diem rates
and for any additional ancillary services provided to them by the Company.
The Company bills for its behavioral healthcare services at its inpatient
and outpatient facilities using different software platforms for each type of
service; however, in all cases the charges are contractually adjusted at the
time of billing using adjustment factors based on agreements or contracts with
the insurance carriers and the specific plans held by the individuals as
outlined above. This method may still require additional adjustment based on
ancillary services provided and deductibles and copays due from the individuals
which are estimated at the time of admission based on information received from
the individual. Adjustments to these estimates are recognized as adjustments to
revenue during the period identified, usually when payment is received.
The Company's policy is to collect estimated co-payments and deductibles at
the time of admission. Payments are made by way of cash, check or credit card.
If the patient does not have sufficient resources to pay the estimated
co-payment in advance, the Company's policy is to allow payment to be made in
three installments, one third due upon admission, one third due upon discharge
and the balance due 30 days after discharge. At times the patient is not
12
physically or mentally stable enough to comprehend or agree to any financial
arrangement. In this case the Company will make arrangements with the patient
once his or her condition is stabilized. At times, this situation will require
the Company to extend payment arrangements beyond the three payment method
previously outlined. Whenever extended payment arrangements are made, the
patient, or the individual who is financially responsible for the patient, is
required to sign a promissory note to the Company, which includes interest on
the balance due.
The Company's days sales outstanding ("DSO") are significantly different
for each type of service and each facility based on the payors for each service.
Overall, the DSO for the combined operations of the Company was 56, 65, and 90
days for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively. The
change in pharmaceutical studies active in the year caused the day's outstanding
to increase significantly in that segment of our business. This increase was
offset by the large decrease in the DSO for the treatment services division
which resulted from the large capitated contract which started in January and it
paid within 45 days and the increased revenue from contract services which
payment is typically received prior to month end or within thirty days. Contract
Services DSO's fluctuate dramatically by the delay in payment of a few days for
any of our large contracts. There was such a delay in payments for the Michigan
call center at the end of fiscal 2005, artificially inflating the DSO's for the
period.
DSO's for each year for each business segment are as follows:
Fiscal Treatment Pharmaceutical Contract
Year End Services Services Services
________ ________ ______________ ________
06/30/2007 66 155 41
06/30/2006 91 93 51
06/30/2005 89 114 62
Amounts pending approval from Medicare or Medicaid, as with all other third
party payors, are maintained on the receivables aging based on the discharge
date of the patient, while appeals are made for payment. If accounts remain
unpaid, when all levels of appeal have been exhausted, accounts are written off.
Where possible, the Company will turn to the patient or the responsible party to
seek reimbursement and send the account to collections before writing the
account off.
Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole
source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to
obtain patients. Private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser
extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services,
including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish small,
specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed reimbursement
rates. We are not aware of any lost business as a result of sole source
contracts to date, as we have not been advised by any payor that we have been
eliminated as a provider from their system based on an exclusivity contract with
another provider. Continued growth in the use of carve-out systems could
materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to
participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate is
not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.
Quality Assurance and Utilization Review
The Company has established comprehensive quality assurance programs at all
of its facilities. These programs are designed to ensure that each facility
maintains standards that meet or exceed requirements imposed upon the Company
with the objective of providing high-quality specialized treatment services to
its patients. To this end, The Joint Commission surveys and accredits the
Company's inpatient facilities, except Detroit Behavioral Institute, and the
Company's outpatient facilities comply with the standards of National Commission
on Quality Assurance ("NCQA") although the facilities are not NCQA certified.
The Company's outpatient facilities in Michigan are certified by the American
Osteopathic Association ("AOA"), which is a nationally accepted accrediting
body, recognized by payors as the measure of quality in outpatient treatment.
The Company's professional staff, including physicians, social workers,
psychologists, nurses, dietitians, therapists and counselors, must meet the
minimum requirements of licensure related to their specific discipline, in
addition to each facility's own internal quality assurance criteria.
Accreditation for DBI was sought through the Council on Accreditation ("COA").
The process was initiated in 2006 and final accreditation is pending with COA's
Accreditation Commission. A decision is expected by the first calendar quarter
of 2008. In the interim, the facility adheres to the COA standards and
13
guidelines format adopted by the facility for operational purposes and approved
by the Executive Committee. The Company participates in the federally mandated
National Practitioners Data Bank, which monitors professional accreditation
nationally. In each facility, continuing quality improvement (CQI) activity is
reviewed quarterly by the Company's corporate compliance unit and quality
assurance activities are approved by the executive committee.
In response to the increasing reliance of insurers and managed care
organizations upon utilization review methodologies, the Company has adopted a
comprehensive documentation policy to satisfy relevant reimbursement criteria.
Additionally, the Company has developed an internal case management system,
which provides assurance that services rendered to individual patients are
medically appropriate and reimbursable. Implementation of these internal
policies has been integral to the success of the Company's strategy of providing
services to relapse-prone, higher acuity patients.
Government Regulation
The Company's business and the development and operation of the Company's
facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local government
regulation. In recent years, an increasing number of legislative proposals have
been introduced at both the national and state levels that would affect major
reforms of the health care system if adopted. Among the proposals under
consideration are reforms to increase the availability of group health
insurance, to increase reliance upon managed care, to bolster competition and to
require that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to their employees.
Some States have already instituted laws that mandate employers offer health
insurance plans to their employees. The Company cannot predict whether
additional legislative proposals will be adopted and, if adopted, what effect,
if any, such proposals would have on the Company's business.
In addition, both the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to
statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of
policy, intermediary determinations and governmental funding restrictions, all
of which may materially increase or decrease the rate of program payments to
health care facilities. Since 1983, Congress has consistently attempted to limit
the growth of federal spending under the Medicare and Medicaid programs and will
likely continue to do so. Additionally, congressional spending reductions for
the Medicaid program involving the issuance of block grants to states is likely
to hasten the reliance upon managed care as a potential savings mechanism of the
Medicaid program. As a result of this reform activity, the Company can give no
assurance that payments under such programs will in the future remain at a level
comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to
such patients.
Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state and local
regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish maximum reimbursement levels
and limit expansion. Our Company and the health care industry are subject to
rapid regulatory change with respect to licensure and conduct of operations at
existing facilities, construction of new facilities, acquisition of existing
facilities, the addition of new services, compliance with physical plant safety
and land use requirements, implementation of certain capital expenditures,
reimbursement for services rendered and periodic government inspections.
Governmental budgetary restrictions have resulted in limited reimbursement rates
in the healthcare industry including our Company. As a result of these
restrictions, we cannot be certain that payments under government programs will
remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the
costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states, including the State
of Michigan, where the majority of our Medicaid Revenue is generated, are
considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets.
14
Health Planning Requirements
Most of the states in which the Company operates have health planning
statutes which require that prior to the addition or construction of new beds,
the addition of new services, the acquisition of certain medical equipment or
certain capital expenditures in excess of defined levels, a state health
planning agency must determine that a need exists for such new or additional
beds, new services, equipment or capital expenditures. These state
determinations of need or certificate of need ("DoN") programs are designed to
enable states to participate in certain federal and state health related
programs and to avoid duplication of health services. DoN's typically are issued
for a specified maximum expenditure, must be implemented within a specified time
frame and often include elaborate compliance procedures for amendment or
modification, if needed.
Licensure and Certification
All of the Company's facilities must be licensed by state regulatory
authorities. The Company's Harbor Oaks facility is certified for participation
as a provider in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The Company's initial and continued licensure of its facilities, and
certification to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, depends upon
many factors, including accommodations, equipment, services, patient care,
safety, personnel, physical environment, the existence of adequate policies,
procedures and controls and the regulatory process regarding the facility's
initial licensure. Federal, state and local agencies survey facilities on a
regular basis to determine whether such facilities are in compliance with
governmental operating and health standards and conditions for participating in
government programs. Such surveys include review of patient utilization and
inspection of standards of patient care. The Company has procedures in place to
ensure that its facilities are operated in compliance with all such standards
and conditions. To the extent these standards are not met, however, the license
of a facility could be restricted, suspended or revoked, or a facility could be
decertified from the Medicare or Medicaid programs.
Medicare Reimbursement
Currently, the only facility of the Company that receives Medicare
reimbursement is Harbor Oaks. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, 14.9% of
revenues for Harbor Oaks were derived from Medicare programs. Revenue from
Harbor Oaks accounted for 26.0% of the Company's total net patient care
revenues.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2005, the prospective
payment system ("PPS") was brought into effect for all Psychiatric services paid
through the Medicare program. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, Medicare
reimbursements rates were based 50% on provisional rates that are adjusted
retroactively based on annual cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare
and 50% on the new prospective payment rates. The Company will continue to file
cost reports to Medicare to determine the new TEFRA portion of the rate for the
following year. These cost reports are routinely audited on an annual basis.
Activity and cost report expense differences are reviewed on an interim basis
and adjustments are made to the net expected collectable revenue accordingly.
The Company believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial
statements for any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare
audits. Approximately 24%, 23%, and 21% of the Company's total revenue is
derived from Medicare and Medicaid payors for the years ended June 30, 2007,
2006, and 2005 respectively. Differences between the amounts provided and
subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of the settlement.
To date, settlement adjustments have not been material.
In order to receive Medicare reimbursement, each participating facility
must meet the applicable conditions of participation set forth by the federal
government relating to the type of facility, its equipment, its personnel and
its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all state and local
laws and regulations. In addition, Medicare regulations generally require that
entry into such facilities be through physician referral. The Company must offer
services to Medicare recipients on a non-discriminatory basis and may not
preferentially accept private pay or commercially insured patients. The Company
currently meets all of these conditions and requirements and has systems in
place to assure compliance in the future.
15
Medicaid Reimbursement
Currently, the only facilities of the Company that receive reimbursement
under any state Medicaid program are Harbor Oaks and Detroit Behavioral
Institute. A portion of Medicaid costs is paid by states under the Medicaid
program and the federal matching payments are not made unless the state's
portion is made. Accordingly, the timely receipt of Medicaid payments by a
facility may be affected by the financial condition of the relevant state. For
the period ended June 30, 2007, 26.5% of total net patient revenues of the
Company were derived from Medicaid programs.
Harbor Oaks and Detroit Behavioral Institute are both participants in the
Medicaid programs administered by the State of Michigan. The Company receives
reimbursement on a per diem basis, inclusive of ancillary costs. The state
determines the rate and adjusts it annually based on cost reports filed by the
Company.
Fraud and Abuse Laws
Various federal and state laws regulate the business relationships and
payment arrangements between providers and suppliers of health care services,
including employment or service contracts, and investment relationships. These
laws include the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare and Medicaid
statutes as well as similar state statutes collectively, the "Fraud and Abuse
Laws", which prohibit the payment, receipt, solicitation or offering of any
direct or indirect remuneration intended to induce the referral of patients, the
ordering, arranging, or providing of covered services, items or equipment.
Violations of these provisions may result in civil and criminal penalties and/or
exclusion from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other
government-sponsored programs. The federal government has issued regulations
that set forth certain "safe harbors," representing business relationships and
payment arrangements that can safely be undertaken without violation of the
federal Fraud and Abuse Laws. Failure to fall within a safe harbor does not
constitute a per se violation of the federal Fraud and Abuse Laws. The Company
believes that its business relationships and payment arrangements either fall
within the safe harbors or otherwise comply with the Fraud and Abuse Laws.
The Company has an active compliance program in place with a corporate
compliance officer and compliance liaisons at each facility and a toll free
compliance hotline. Compliance in-services and trainings are conducted on a
regular basis. Information on our compliance program and our hot line number is
available to our employees on our intranet and to the public on our website at
www.phc-inc.com.
Employees
As of August 31, 2007, the Company had 580 employees of which six were
dedicated to marketing, 191 (46 part time) to finance and administration and 377
(119 part time and 49 contingent) to patient care.
The Company believes that it has been successful in attracting skilled and
experienced personnel. Competition for such employees is intense, however, and
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain
necessary qualified employees in the future. On July 31, 2003, the Company's
largest facility, Harbor Oaks Hospital, with approximately 125 union eligible
nursing and administrative employees, voted for union (UAW) representation. In
December 2004, the Company and the Union reached a collective bargaining
agreement, which was ratified by the employees on December 8, 2004 and signed by
the Union and the Company in January 2005. This agreement was renewed and will
expire in December 2010. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 88% of the total
number of employees were covered by the collective bargaining agreement. In
addition, in January, 2007 the Company's largest out-patient facility, Harmony
Healthcare, with approximately 43 union eligible employees, voted for union
(Teamsters) representation. In April, 2007 the Company and the Union reached a
collective bargaining Agreement, which was signed by the Union on April 26, 2007
and the Company on April 30, 2007 to be effective January 1, 2007 and expiring
on January 1, 2010. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 36% of the total number
of employees were covered by the collective bargaining agreement.
The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in which the
Company operates may create staffing shortages. The Company's success depends,
in large part, on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel,
particularly skilled health care personnel, which are in short supply. The
Company faces competition for such personnel from governmental agencies, health
16
care providers and other companies and is constantly increasing its employee
benefit programs, and related costs, to maintain required levels of skilled
professionals. As a result of staffing shortages, the Company uses professional
placement services to supply it with a pool of professionals from which to
choose. These individuals generally are higher skilled, seasoned individuals who
require higher salaries, richer benefit plans, and in some instances, require
relocation. The Company has also entered into contracts with agencies to provide
short-term interim staffing in addition to placement services. These additional
costs impact the Company's profitability.
Insurance
Each of the Company's subsidiaries maintains separate professional
liability insurance policies. Harbor Oaks, Highland Ridge Hospital, Mount Regis
Center, North Point, Detroit Behavioral Institute, Harmony Healthcare and
Pivotal, Inc. each have coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the
aggregate. In addition, the Company has maintained the insurance coverage, which
was in place for Pivotal Research Centers, LLC by its former owners of
$3,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition to this
coverage, Wellplace and Highland Ridge maintain a $1,000,000 umbrella policy,
Harbor Oaks and Detroit Behavioral Institute collectively maintain a $5,000,000
umbrella policy, Harmony and Mount Regis Center maintain a $2,000,000 umbrella
policy. In addition, each of these entities maintains general liability
insurance coverage in similar amounts.
The Company maintains $1,000,000 of directors' and officers' liability
insurance coverage, general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and
$2,000,000 in aggregate. The Company believes, based on its experience, that its
insurance coverage is adequate for its business and, although cost has escalated
in recent years, that it will continue to be able to obtain adequate coverage.
Acquisition and Expansion
If we acquire new businesses or expand our businesses, the operating costs
may be far greater than revenues for a significant period of time. The operating
losses and negative cash flow associated with start-up operations or
acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and
liquidity unless and until such facilities are fully integrated with our other
operations and become self sufficient. Until such time, we may be required to
borrow at higher rates and less favorable terms to supplement short term
operating cash flow shortages.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
OPERATING RISKS
AGING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE COULD RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO COLLECT
RECEIVABLES REQUIRING US TO INCREASE OUR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RESERVE WHICH WOULD
DECREASE OUR NET INCOME AND WORKING CAPITAL
As our accounts receivable age and become uncollectible our cash flow is
negatively impacted. Our accounts receivable from patient accounts (net of
allowance for bad debts) were $6,559,387 at June 30, 2007 compared with
$6,995,475 at June 30, 2006. As we expand, we will be required to seek payment
from a larger number of payors and the amount of accounts receivable will likely
increase. Because the behavioral health industry is typically a difficult
collection environment, we have focused on better accounts receivable management
through, increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting
receivables and a more aggressive collection policy in order to keep the change
in receivables consistent with the change in revenue. We have also established a
more aggressive reserve policy, allowing greater amounts of reserves as accounts
age from the date of billing. If the amount of receivables, which eventually
become uncollectible, exceeds such reserves, we could be materially adversely
affected. The following chart represents our Accounts Receivable, Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively and Bad Debt
Expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005:
Allowance for Bad Debt
Accounts Receivable doubtful accounts Expense
June 30, 2007 $ 10,323,972 $3,764,585 $ 1,933,499
June 30, 2006 10,096,061 3,100,586 1,912,516
June 30, 2005 8,287,365 1,956,984 1,272,037
17
NEGATIVE CASH FLOW COULD ARISE AS A RESULT OF SLOW GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS WHICH
COULD REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS AT UNFAVORABLE RATES AND
AFFECT OUR NET INCOME, WORKING CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
The concentration of accounts receivable due from government payors could
create a severe cash flow problem should these agencies fail to make timely
payment. We had substantial receivables from Medicaid and Medicare of
approximately $1,811,600 at June 30, 2007 and $1,786,000 at June 30, 2006, which
would create a cash flow problem should these agencies defer or fail to make
reimbursement payments as due, which would require us to borrow at unfavorable
rates or pay additional interest as overline fees on current debt instruments.
This would result in lower net income for the same services provided and lower
earnings per share.
NEGATIVE CASH FLOW COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO MEET OBLIGATIONS WHEN DUE WHICH
COULD REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS AT UNFAVORABLE RATES AND
AFFECT OUR NET INCOME
If managed care organizations delay approving treatment, or reduce the
patient length of stay or number of visits or reimbursement, our Company's
ability to meet operating expenses is affected. As managed care organizations
and insurance companies adopt policies that limit the length of stay for
substance abuse treatment, our business is materially adversely affected since
our revenues and cash flow go down and our fixed operating expenses continue or
increase based on the additional resources required to collect accounts
receivable.
Reimbursement for substance abuse and psychiatric treatment from private
insurers is largely dependent on our ability to substantiate the medical
necessity of treatment. The process of substantiating a claim often takes up to
four months and sometimes longer; as a result, we experience significant delays
in the collection of amounts reimbursable by third-party payors, which requires
us to increase staff to pursue payment and adversely affects our working capital
condition. This causes amounts borrowed on our accounts receivable revolver to
remain outstanding for longer periods of time resulting in higher interest
expense in addition to the reduced income resulting from the shorter lengths of
stay, which combined reduce net income and earnings per share.
POTENTIAL STAFFING SHORTAGES COULD REQUIRE US TO INCREASE OUR EMPLOYEE
COMPENSATION AND REDUCE OUR NET INCOME
The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in which we
operate may create staffing shortages. Our success depends, in large part, on
our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly
skilled health care personnel, which are in short supply. We face competition
for such personnel from governmental agencies, health care providers and other
companies and are constantly increasing our employee benefit programs, and
related costs, to maintain required levels of skilled professionals. As a result
of staffing shortages, we use professional placement services to supply us with
a pool of professionals from which to choose. These individuals generally are
higher skilled, seasoned individuals who require higher salaries, richer benefit
plans, and in some instances, require relocation. We have also entered into
contracts with agencies to provide short-term interim staffing in addition to
placement services. These additional costs impact our profitability.
In December 2004, the Company's largest facility voted for UAW
representation. Approximately 75% of the staff of the facility are members of
the Union and could vote to strike when the contract comes up for renewal in
December 2010. In April 2007, the Company's largest outpatient operations voted
for Teamsters representation. Approximately 40% of the staff of the facility are
members of the Union and could vote to strike when the contract comes up for
renewal in January 2010. A strike vote on the part of either of these operations
would negatively impact profitability by requiring the Company to transfer
patients to competing facilities or providers or pay high short term staffing
rates. This could also negatively impact the Company's reputation in the
community.
18
RELIANCE ON KEY CLIENTS, THE LOSS OF ANY OF WHICH WOULD REDUCE OUR NET REVENUES
AND OUR NET INCOME
The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain
patient census at its inpatient facilities and provide patients for our
outpatient operations and our employee assistance programs. The loss of any of
such contracts would impact our ability to meet our fixed costs. We have entered
into relationships with large employers, health care institutions, insurance
companies and labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders,
chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored
employee assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred
to us for treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita
basis. Approximately 30% of our total revenue is derived from these clients. No
one of these large employers, health care institutions, insurance companies or
labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues,
but the loss of any of these clients would require us to expend considerable
effort to replace patient referrals and would result in revenue losses and
attendant loss in income.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO EXPAND, REDUCE THE ALLOWABLE
REIMBURSEMENT TO THE COMPANY AND REDUCE OUR NET INCOME
Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state and local
regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish maximum reimbursement levels
and limit expansion. Our Company and the health care industry are subject to
rapid regulatory change with respect to licensure and conduct of operations at
existing facilities, construction of new facilities, acquisition of existing
facilities, the addition of new services, compliance with physical plant safety
and land use requirements, implementation of certain capital expenditures,
reimbursement for services rendered and periodic government inspections.
Governmental budgetary restrictions have resulted in limited reimbursement rates
in the healthcare industry including our Company. As a result of these
restrictions we cannot be certain that payments under government programs will
remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the
costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states, including the State
of Michigan where the majority of our Medicaid Revenue is generated, are
considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets, which may be reflected through
more limited access, lower rates, and higher State imposed utilization
assessment fees.
SOLE SOURCE CONTRACTING BY MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS MAY REDUCE OUR AVAILABLE
PATIENTS BY ELIMINATING OUR ABILITY TO SERVICE THEM
Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole
source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to
obtain patients. Private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser
extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services,
including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish small,
specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed reimbursement
rates. We are not aware of any lost business as a result of sole source
contracts to date, as we have not been advised by any payor that we have been
eliminated as a provider from their system based on an exclusivity contract with
another provider. Continued growth in the use of carve-out systems could
materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to
participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate is
not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.
ACQUISITION AND EXPANSION COULD RESULT IN NEGATIVE CASH FLOW WHICH COULD REQUIRE
THE COMPANY TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS AT UNFAVORABLE RATES AND AFFECT OUR NET
INCOME
If we acquire new businesses or expand our businesses, the operating costs
may be far greater than revenues for a significant period of time. The operating
losses and negative cash flow associated with start-up operations or
acquisitions could have a material adverse affect on our profitability and
liquidity unless and until such facilities are fully integrated with our other
operations and become self sufficient. Until such time we may be required to
borrow at higher rates and less favorable terms to supplement short term
operating cash flow shortages.
19
MANAGEMENT RISKS
CONTROL OF THE COMPANY PROVIDES THE PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER WITH THE POWER TO
APPROVE ALL TRANSACTIONS AND CONTROL THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITHOUT INPUT OF
OTHER SHAREHOLDERS
Bruce A. Shear is in control of the Company since he is entitled to elect
and replace a majority of the board of directors. Bruce Shear and his affiliates
own and control 92.8% of the class B common stock, which elects four of the six
members of the Board of Directors. Bruce Shear can establish, maintain and
control business policy and decisions by virtue of his control of the election
of the majority of the members of the board of directors.
INABILITY TO RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL, THE LOSS OF ANY OF WHOM COULD AFFECT OUR
CLIENT RELATIONS AND THUS REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND NET INCOME
Retention of key personnel with knowledge of key contracts and clients is
essential to the success of the Company. PHC is highly dependent on the
principal members of its management and professional staff, who are: Bruce A.
Shear, PHC's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert H. Boswell, PHC's
Senior Vice President and other members of PHC's management and their continued
relationship with key clients.
In April 2004, the Company acquired Pivotal Research Centers, LLC, which
is engaged in clinical drug testing. Dr. Louis Kirby, the founder and medical
director of Pivotal, has key relationships with the pharmaceutical companies
that provide contracts for the research business. Dr. Kirby signed an employment
and non-compete agreement at the time of the acquisition, which was renewed and
is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007.
We do not anticipate any key member of management will leave the Company
but do have key man life insurance policies on Mr. Shear and Dr. Kirby.
MARKET RISKS
THE COMPANY EXPECTS ITS STOCK PRICE TO BE VOLATILE
The market price of the Company's common stock has been volatile in the
past. The shares have sold at prices varying between a low of $1.75 and a high
of $3.78 from July 2005 through June 2007. Trading prices may continue to
fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, including the

Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Executive Offices
The Company's executive offices are located in Peabody, Massachusetts. The
Company's lease agreement in Peabody covers approximately 4,800 square feet for
a 60-month term, which expires September 16, 2009. The current annual payment
under the lease is $92,000. The Company believes that this facility will be
adequate to satisfy its needs for the foreseeable future.
Highland Ridge Hospital
The Highland Ridge premises consist of approximately 24,000 square feet of
space occupying the majority of the first floor of a two-story hospital owned by
Valley Mental Health and located in Midvale, Utah. The lease is for a six-year
term expiring December 31, 2009, which provides for monthly rental payments of
approximately $22,000. Changes in rental payments each year are based on
increases or decreases in the Consumer Price Index. The Company believes that
these premises are adequate for its current and anticipated needs and does not
anticipate any difficulty in renewing or securing alternate space on expiration
of the lease.
Mount Regis Center
The Company owns the Mount Regis facility, which consists of a three-story
building located on an approximately two-acre site in Salem, Virginia. The
building consists of over 14,000 square feet and is subject to a mortgage in the
approximate amount of $270,000 as of June 30, 2007. The facility is used for
both inpatient and outpatient services. The Company believes that these premises
are adequate for its current and anticipated needs.
Psychiatric Facilities
The Company owns or leases premises for each of its psychiatric facilities.
Detroit Behavioral Institute, Harmony, North Point-Pioneer and Pivotal Research

at fair market value and could be replaced without significant time or expense
if necessary. The Company believes that all of these premises are adequate for
its current and anticipated needs.

The Company owns the building in which Harbor Oaks operates, which is a
single story brick and wood frame structure comprising approximately 32,000
square feet situated on an approximately three acre site. The Company has a
$289,000 mortgage on this property as of June 30, 2007. The Company believes
that these premises are adequate for its current and anticipated needs.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The company is a party in two separate actions between a former employee
who was terminated and filed a claim for wrongful termination and a breach of
contract on an indemnification claim against the same terminated employee where
the company is the plaintiff. Both matters are being resolved through binding
arbitration and awards in either case will offset. The outcome of the two
actions together cannot be determined at this time, but management does not
expect the outcome to have a material adverse affect on the financial position
or results of operations of the Company.
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the
normal course of business, none of which the Company believes will materially
affect its financial position or results of operations.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders

The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and
2005. It should be read in conjunction with the operating statistics (Part I,
Item 1) and selected financial data (Part II, Item 6) and the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company presently provides behavioral health care services through two
substance abuse treatment centers, a psychiatric hospital, a residential
treatment facility and nine outpatient psychiatric centers (collectively called
"treatment facilities"). The Company's revenue for providing behavioral health
services through these facilities is derived from contracts with managed care
companies, Medicare, Medicaid, state agencies, railroads, gaming industry
corporations and individual clients. The profitability of the Company is largely
dependent on the level of patient census and the payer mix at these treatment
facilities. Patient census is measured by the number of days a client remains
overnight at an inpatient facility or the number of visits or encounters with
clients at outpatient clinics. Payor mix is determined by the source of payment
to be received for each client being provided billable services. The Company's
administrative expenses do not vary greatly as a percentage of total revenue but
the percentage tends to decrease slightly as revenue increases. The Company's
internet operation, Behavioral Health Online, Inc., continues to provide
behavioral health information through its web site at Wellplace.com but its
primary function is Internet technology support for the subsidiaries and their
contracts. As such, the expenses related to Behavioral Health Online, Inc. are
included as corporate expenses. The Company's research division, Pivotal
Research Centers, Inc., contracts with major manufacturers of pharmaceuticals to
assist in the study of the effects of certain pharmaceuticals in the treatment
of specific illnesses through its clinics in Utah, Michigan and Arizona.
The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local
regulation governing, among other things, licensure and certification, conduct
of operations, audit and retroactive adjustment of prior government billings and
reimbursement. In addition, there are on-going debates and initiatives regarding
the restructuring of the health care system in its entirety. The extent of any
regulatory changes and their impact on the Company's business is unknown. The
current administration has put forth proposals to mandate equality in the
benefits available to those individuals suffering from mental illness (The
Parity Act). If passed, this legislation may improve access to the Company's
programs. Managed care has had a profound impact on the Company's operations, in
the form of shorter lengths of stay, extensive certification of benefits
requirements and, in some cases, reduced payment for services.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going
basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to
those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, income tax
25
valuation allowances, and the impairment of goodwill and other intangible
assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable:
Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at established
billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party
payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor
agreements are subject to examination and contractual adjustment, and amounts
realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment.
Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the
period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts
provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of
settlement. Amounts due as a result of cost report settlements is recorded and
listed separately on the consolidated balance sheets as "Other receivables". The
provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly from revenue and the
net revenue amount is recorded as accounts receivable. The allowance for
doubtful accounts does not include the contractual allowances.
The Company currently has two "at-risk" contracts. The contracts call for
the Company to provide for all of the inpatient and outpatient behavioral health
needs of the insurance carrier's enrollees in a specified area for a fixed
monthly fee per member per month. Revenues are recorded monthly based on this
formula and the expenses related to providing the services under these contracts
are recorded as incurred. The Company provides as much of the outpatient care
directly and, through utilization review, monitors closely, all inpatient and
outpatient services not provided directly. The contracts are considered
"at-risk" because the payments to third-party providers for services rendered
could equal or exceed the total amount of the revenue recorded.
All revenues reported by the Company are shown net of estimated contractual
adjustment and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual
adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate
adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with
the AICPA "Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations." Net
contractual adjustments recorded in fiscal 2007 for revenue booked in prior
years resulted in an increase in net revenue of approximately $26,430. Net
contractual adjustments recorded in fiscal 2006 for revenue booked in prior
years resulted in an increase in net revenue of approximately $343,700.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a Medicare cost report
settlement of $255,600 was received and in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006,
a Medicare cost report settlement of approximately $158,100 was received. No
cost report settlements were received during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2005. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no third party
cost report settlements were expected or recorded.
Our accounts receivable systems are capable of providing an aging based on
responsible party or payor. This information is critical in estimating our
required allowance for bad debts. Below is revenue by payor and the accounts
receivable aging information as of June 30, 2007, June 30, 2006 and June 30,
2005 for our treatment services segment.

Pharmaceutical study revenue is recognized only after a pharmaceutical
study contract has been awarded and the patient has been selected and accepted
based on study criteria and billable units of service are provided. Where a
contract requires completion of the study by the patient, no revenue is
recognized until the patient completes the study program. All revenues and
receivables from our research division are derived from pharmaceutical companies
with no related bad debt allowance.
Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee contracts to
provide telephone support. Revenue for these services is recognized ratably over
the service period. All revenues and receivables from our contract services
division are based on a prorated monthly allocation of the total contract amount
and usually paid within 30 days of the end of the month.
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
The provision for bad debts is calculated based on a percentage of each
aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on current accounts and
increasing incrementally for each additional 30 days the account remains
outstanding until the account is over 360 days outstanding, at which time the
provision is 80-100% of the outstanding balance. These percentages vary by
facility based on each facility's experience in and expectations for collecting
older receivables. The Company compares this required reserve amount to the
current "Allowance for doubtful accounts" to determine the required bad debt
expense for the period. This method of determining the required "Allowance for
doubtful accounts" has historically resulted in an allowance for doubtful
accounts of 20% or greater of the total outstanding receivables balance.
27
Income Taxes:
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as
set forth in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109
prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of the
assets and liabilities. The Company's policy is to record a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets
will be realized in future periods. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year
ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized 100% of its federal deferred tax
benefit based on past profitability and future projections. The total tax
benefit recorded was $1,638,713. During fiscal 2007 the company recorded a
provision for tax expense of $1,147,000 a blended state and federal tax rate of
approximately 40.5%.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially created as a result of
business combinations or acquisitions. The values the Company records for
goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed by the Company, at least
annually, and represent fair values. Such valuations require the Company to
provide significant estimates and assumptions, which are derived from
information obtained from the management of the acquired businesses and the
Company's business plans for the acquired businesses. Critical estimates and
assumptions used in the initial valuation of goodwill and other intangible
assets include, but are not limited to: (i) future expected cash flows from
services to be provided, customer contracts and relationships, and (ii) the
acquired market position. These estimates and assumptions may be incomplete or
inaccurate because unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. If
estimates and assumptions used to initially value goodwill and intangible assets
prove to be inaccurate, ongoing reviews of the carrying values of such goodwill
and intangible assets may indicate impairment which will require the Company to
record an impairment charge in the period in which the Company identifies the
impairment.
Investment in Seven Hills
Included in other assets of June 30, 2007 in the Company's investment in
Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC of $400,000. This LLC holds the assets of the
Seven Hills Hospital currently being built and expected to be complete in the
early part of calendar year 2008. Aslo included in the escrow deposit of
$1,362,000 the Company has made toward the leasehold improvement for the
anticipated leasing arrangement upon completion of the construction of the
building.
Results of Operations
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 the Company experienced a
significant decrease in the revenues in the research division due to delays in
study starts. This change in the research division is not evident in the table
below because of large increases in the Company's core business. The decrease in
the research division results are outlined below and detailed in Note I to the
financial statements accompanying this report under the heading "Pharmaceutical
Study Services".

June 30, 2007 from $4,045,482 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This
decrease is the result of $1,147,000 in provision for tax expense recorded in
fiscal 2007 as compared to $1,310,103 in net income tax benefit recorded in
fiscal 2006. Income before taxes increased 3.43% to $2,829,283 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,735,379 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006. This increase was primarily due to the two new contracts added during the
year that are projected to increase gross revenues by $10,000,000 annually, once
fully implemented, and increased patient census . This increase is significant
since it includes start-up costs of these contracts of approximately $100,000
and uncapitalizable costs of the Meditech software implementation in progress
and the construction in progress of the Seven Hills Hospital. We also
experienced a down-turn in the pharmaceutical revenue as it is dependent on
unpredictable study starts and largely volatile as shown in "Note I - Segment
Information" in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended June
30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Total revenues increased 18.72% to $45,127,477 for the year ended June 30,
2007 from $38,013,092 for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Total net patient care revenue from all facilities increased 29.29% to
$36,022,529 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $27,861,701 for the
year ended June 30, 2006. Patient days increased over 5,291 days for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2007 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. In October
2005 the Company opened 20 additional residential beds, increasing our available
beds from 160 to 180. These additional available beds accounted for
approximately 74% of the increase in patient days for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2007. The contracted rate for these residential beds is lower than that of
our other facilities, which negatively impacts our revenue per patient day
without positive changes in our census and payor mix at our other facilities.
Net inpatient care revenue from inpatient psychiatric services increased 14.56%
to $21,508,417 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $18,775,198 the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to a change in payor mix to payors
with more favorable approved rates and from the increase in residential
treatment beds. Net partial hospitalization and outpatient care revenue
increased 59.7% to $14,514,112 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $9,086,503
for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the new
capitated contract and high usage of these step-down programs by managed care as
a treatment alternative to inpatient care. Pharmaceutical study revenue
decreased 21.3% to $4,564,314 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $5,799,815
for the year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is largely due to the delay in
the start of some significant studies that were expected to start in the first
quarter of the year but did not start until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007
and a large study that ran in the last half of fiscal 2006. Revenues increased
in our contract support services division, Wellplace. Wellplace revenues
increased 4.3% to $4,540,634 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $4,351,576
for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase in revenue is primarily due to
increases in contract rates. All revenues reported in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations are shown net of estimated contractual
adjustments and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual
adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate
adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with
the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.
Patient care expenses, excluding research, increased by $5,512,891, or
38.6%, to $19,782,431 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $14,269,540 for the
year ended June 30, 2006 due to the increase in available beds contributing to
the increase in patient census at our inpatient facilities and the increased
utilization of our out-patient services as a result of the new capitated rate
contract. Inpatient census increased by 5,291 patient days, 10.7%, for the year
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006. Contract expense,
which includes the cost of outside service providers for our capitated contracts
increased 650.6% to $1,785,697 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $237,899
for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the new capitated rate contract
effective January 1, 2007. This contract has an expected annual gross revenue of
approximately $8,000,000 and calls for the Company to provide behavioral health
care for approximately 325,000 members. Payroll and payroll related expenses
increased 28.3% to $15,096,827 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $11,764,978
for the year ended June 30, 2006, food and dietary expense increased 1.0% to
$776,796 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $769,367 for the year ended June
30, 2006, hospital supplies expense increased 30.3% to $93,204 for the year
ended June 30, 2007 from $71,539 for the year ended June 30, 2006, agency
nursing expense increased 138.1% to $395,319 for the year ended June 30, 2007
from $166,047 for the year ended June 30, 2006 and other patient related
29
expenses increased to 7.5% to $101,277 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from
$94,218 for the year ended June 30, 2006. All of these increases were a result
of increased patient census and increased utilization of our out patient
services. We continue to closely monitor the ordering of all hospital supplies,
food and pharmaceutical supplies but these expenses all relate directly to the
number of days of inpatient services we provide and are expected to increase
with higher patient census and out patient visits. (see "Operating Statistics"
Part I, Item 1).
Patient care expenses for the research division decreased 2.7% to
$2,182,357 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,242,900 for the year ended
June 30, 2006. This decrease is due to the delay in the start of studies.
Payroll and related direct care expenses decreased 17.0% to $1,463,009 for the
year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,763,308 for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Patient supplies expense decreased 36.0% to $24,830 for the year ended June 30,
2007 from $38,770 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Other patient related
expenses increased 53.0% to $694,518 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from
$453,822 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the
increased advertising to gear up for the new studies started in the fourth
quarter of the 2007 fiscal year.
Cost of contract support services related to Wellplace increased 15.9% to
$3,102,551 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,676,340 for the year ended
June 30, 2006. This increase is due to the increased staffing to support the
smoking cessation contract which started in November 2005 and increases in
related employee expenses and the increased cost related to the smoking
cessation software maintenance. Payroll and payroll related expenses increased
23.6% to $1,576,061 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,274,937 for the
year ended June 30, 2006.
Provision for doubtful accounts increased 1.1% to $1,933,499 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,912,516 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006. This increase is a result of increases in accounts receivable in line with
increases in revenue. The policy of the Company is to provide an allowance for
doubtful accounts based on the age of receivables resulting in higher bad debt
expense as receivables age. The goal of the Company, given this policy, is to
keep any increase in the provision for doubtful accounts in line with increases
in revenue.
The environment the Company operates in today makes collection of
receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than in previous
years. Accordingly, the Company has increased staff, standardized some
procedures for collecting receivables and instituted a more aggressive
collection policy, which has for the most part resulted in an overall decrease
in the age of its accounts receivable. The Company's gross receivables from
direct patient care has increased 2.3% to $10,323,972 for the year ended June
30, 2007 from $10,096,061 for the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company believes
its reserve of approximately 36% is sufficient based on the age of the
receivables. We continue to reserve for bad debt based on managed care denials
and past difficulty in collections. The growth of managed care has negatively
impacted reimbursement for behavioral health services with higher contractual
adjustments and a higher rate of denials requiring and higher reserves.
Total administrative expenses, excluding research, increased 13.1% to
$12,677,933 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $11,210,296 for the year ended
June 30, 2006. Administrative salaries increased 20.6% to $4,232,863 for the
year ended June 30, 2007 from $3,508,980 for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Payroll tax expense increased 16.9% to $354,229 for the year ended June 30, 2007
from $302,932 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Employee benefits increased
16.1% to $676,464 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $582,785 for the year
ended June 30, 2006. Other employee benefits increased 93.1% to $239,555 for the
year ended June 30, 2007 from $124,035 for the year ended June 30, 2006. All of
these increases in payroll and employee related expenses are a result of an
increase of approximately 200% in the staff at our Las Vegas out patient
location to service the new capitated rate contract and greater competition for
experienced health care administrative staff resulted in these increased
salaries. General insurance expense increased 17.9% to $760,338 for the year
ended June 30, 2007 from $644,882 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to
general increases in property and liability insurance and the addition of three
additional out patient sites, two in Las Vegas and one in Arizona. Rent expense
increased 28.9% to $1,440,342 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,117,098
for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to the three additional
clinics opened this year and normal CPI increases included in our property
leases. Transfer fee expense increased 255.6% to $91,932 for the year ended June
30, 2007 from $25,856 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the
initial American Stock Exchange listing fee.
Total administrative expenses for the research division decreased 3.1% to
$2,438,802 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,517,074 for the year ended
June 30, 2006. Administrative payroll and taxes was the most significant of the
30
change as it decreased 5.7% to $974,695 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from
$1,033,160 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the closing of the Michigan
office and the decrease in study activity. Advertising expense decreased 25.4%
to $216,953 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $290,673 for the year ended
June 30, 2006. This decrease was also a result of the decrease in study
activity.
Interest expense increased 7.0% to $649,166 for the year ended June 30,
2007 from $606,893 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to the
amortization of $55,728 and the write off of $13,932 debt discount on the old
debt to interest and amortization of $4,868 on the new debt discount as a part
of the debt refinancing in June 2007.
The Company's provision for income taxes of $1,147,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2007 represents a blended state and federal tax rate of approximately
40.5% compared to the prior years tax provision excluding the tax benefit of
$328,610 for the year ended June 30, 2006, which was significantly below the
Federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the utilization of net operating
loss carry-forwards. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company reduced
the valuation allowance due to its evaluation of the future likelihood of
realization based on past profitability and future expectations of
profitability, and recognized 100% of its available federal tax benefit of
$1,638,713 and eliminated the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset
for federal purposes.
Year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to year ended June 30, 2005
The Company's income from its operations decreased 11.2% to $3,184,426 for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 from $3,587,412 the fiscal year ended June
30, 2005. Net income, increased 28.2% to $4,045,482 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2006 from $3,155,900 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. This
increase is primarily the result of $1,638,713 in income tax benefit recorded in
fiscal 2006 as compared to $209,000 tax benefit recorded in fiscal 2005,
start-up costs experienced in fiscal 2006 for a major contract at our Las Vegas
location, start-up costs incurred as a result of the addition of 20 beds at the
Detroit Behavioral Institute facility and increased bad debt and professional
fees related to the system crash at our Harbor Oaks facility.
Total revenues increased 11.6% to $38,013,092 for the year ended June 30,
2006 from $34,063,258 for the year ended June 30, 2005.
Total net patient care revenue from all facilities increased 6.8% to
$27,861,701 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $26,087,088 for the
year ended June 30, 2005. Patient days increased over 6,861 days for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2006 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. In December
2004, the Company opened 30 residential beds increasing our available beds from
130 to 160 and in October 2005 the Company opened 20 additional residential
beds, increasing our available beds from 160 to 180. These additional available
beds accounted for the increase in patient days for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2006. The contracted rate for these residential beds is lower than that of
our other facilities, which negatively impacts our revenue per patient day. Net
inpatient care revenue from inpatient psychiatric services increased 1.7% to
$18,775,198 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $18,469,578 the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2005. This increase is due to a change in payor mix resulting in
part from the increased residential treatment beds. Net partial hospitalization
and outpatient care revenue increased 19.3% to $9,086,503 for the year ended
June 30, 2006 from $7,617,510 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase is
partially due to increased outpatient contracts and high usage of these
step-down programs by managed care as a treatment alternative to inpatient care.
Pharmaceutical study revenue increased 28.6% to $5,799,815 for the year ended
June 30, 2006 from $4,509,338 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase is
due in part to a large study started in the third quarter of this fiscal year.
Revenues also increased in our contract support services division, Wellplace.
Wellplace revenues increased 25.5% to $4,351,576 for the year ended June 30,
2006 from $3,466,832 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase in revenue
is primarily due to the start of a new smoking cessation contract with a major
government contractor in November 2005. All revenues reported in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations are shown net of estimated
contractual adjustments and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the
contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated,
appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in
accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care
Organizations.
Patient care expenses, excluding research, increased by $1,364,254, or
10.6%, to $14,269,540 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $12,905,286 for the
year ended June 30, 2005 due to the increase in available beds and resulting
increase in patient census at our inpatient facilities. Inpatient census
increased by 6,861 patient days, 16%, for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared
to the year ended June 30, 2005. Direct patient care payroll and payroll related
expenses increased 9.7% to $11,764,978 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from
31
$10,727,317 for the year ended June 30, 2005, food and dietary expense increased
21.4% to $769,367 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $633,869 for the year
ended June 30, 2005, hospital supplies expense increased 37.9% to $71,539 for
the year ended June 30, 2006 from $51,863 for the year ended June 30, 2005,
laboratory fees increased 36.4% to $219,063 for the year ended June 30, 2006
from $160,603 for the year ended June 30, 2005, agency nursing expense increased
38.8% to $166,047 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $119,672 for the year
ended June 30, 2005 and other patient related expenses increased to $94,218 for
the year ended June 30, 2006 from $45,481 for the year ended June 30, 2005. All
of these increases were a result of increased patient census and increased needs
of the patients based on the severity of their illness and the start up of the
additional 20 bed residential unit in October 2005. We continue to closely
monitor the ordering of all hospital supplies, food and pharmaceutical supplies
but these expenses all relate directly to the number of days of inpatient
services we provide and are expected to increase with higher patient census.
(see "Operating Statistics" Part I, Item 1).
Patient care expenses for the research division increased 33.8% to
$2,242,900 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $1,676,749 for the year ended
June 30, 2005. This increase is due to increased study activity. Payroll and
related direct care expenses increased 37.0% to $1,763,308 for the year ended
June 30, 2006 from $1,287,038 for the year ended June 30, 2005. Patient supplies
expense increased 68.3% to $38,770 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $23,040
for the year ended June 30, 2005. Patient stipends and other patient related
expenses increased 23.9% to $453,822 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from
$366,671 for the year ended June 30, 2005. These expenses are expected to
increase in a direct relationship with the increases in related revenue.
Cost of contract support services related to Wellplace increased 21.8% to
$2,676,340 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $2,197,518 for the year ended
June 30, 2005. This increase is due to the start up costs related to the smoking
cessation contract with a major government contractor which started in November
2005. Expenses are expected to increase as new contracts are added. With the
exception of depreciation and legal fees, all expenses for Wellplace increased
as a result of this contract. Payroll and payroll related expenses increased
27.0% to $1,274,937 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $1,003,988 for the
year ended June 30, 2005.
Provision for doubtful accounts increased 50.4% to $1,912,516 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 from $1,272,037 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2005. This increase is primarily the result of the system crash at Harbor
Oaks which delayed billing and the processing of payments for more than four
months, creating a delay in payments and in appeals processing. The facility
continues to collect on these old accounts, which is evident by the lower
expense for the facility in the last half of the fiscal year; however, the
policy of the Company is to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on
the age of receivables resulting in higher bad debt expense and a significant
increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The environment the Company operates in today makes collection of
receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than in previous
years. Accordingly, the Company has increased staff, standardized some
procedures for collecting receivables and instituted a more aggressive
collection policy, which has for the most part resulted in an overall decrease
in the age of its accounts receivable. The Company's gross receivables from
direct patient care has increased 21.8% to $10,096,061 for the year ended June
30, 2006 from $8,287,365 for the year ended June 30, 2005. The Company believes
its reserve of approximately 31% is sufficient based on the age of the
receivables. We continue to reserve for bad debt based on managed care denials
and past difficulty in collections. The growth of managed care has negatively
impacted reimbursement for behavioral health services with a higher rate of
denials requiring higher contractual adjustments and higher reserves.
Total administrative expenses, excluding research, increased 16.0% to
$11,210,296 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $9,667,138 for the year ended
June 30, 2005. Legal expense decreased 39.0% to $156,054 for the year ended June
30, 2006 from $255,794 for the year ended June 30, 2005, due to the booking of
some residual legal fees last year for the North Point litigation settled in
fiscal 2004 and legal fees associated with finalizing the collective bargaining
agreement for Harbor Oaks Hospital. Administrative salaries increased 14.9% to
$3,508,980 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $3,054,294 for the year ended
June 30, 2005. Greater competition for experienced health care administrative
staff resulted in these increased salaries. Insurance expense increased 9.7% to
$644,882 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $587,751 for the year ended June
30, 2005 due to general increases in property and liability insurance.
Accounting fees, which includes non-audit accounting services, including but not
limited to taxes, cost reports and individual contract audits, provided by firms
other than our principal audit firm, increased 45.8% to $336,425 for the year
ended June 30, 2006 from $230,791 for the year ended June 30, 2005. Fees and
32
licenses expense increased 19.1% to $294,165 for the year ended June 30, 2006
from $247,076 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase is due to the
Michigan quality assurance assessment fee, which accounted for the majority of
the increase. Rent expense increased 17.1% to $1,117,098 for the year ended June
30, 2006 from $953,667 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This increase is due to
the opening of the additional 20 residential bed unit at Detroit Behavioral
Institute.
Total administrative expenses for the research division decreased 8.7% to
$2,517,074 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $2,757,118 for the year ended
June 30, 2005. This decrease is due to a decrease in legal expenses, decrease in
administrative salaries and a decrease in general insurance costs.
Administrative payroll and taxes was the most significant of these changes as it
decreased 10.8% to $1,033,160 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $1,158,394
for the year ended June 30, 2005 due to the closing of the Las Vegas office and
a decrease in accrued bonuses.
Interest expense decreased 7.3% to $606,893 for the year ended June 30,
2006 from $654,871 for the year ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is due to the
decrease in outstanding debt of the Company. The prime rate, which remained
relatively stable over the last fiscal year, dictates the interest rate on the
majority of the Company's long-term debt, therefore, the reduction of interest
is only a result of the decrease in outstanding debt.
The Company's provision for income taxes exclusive of deferred income tax
benefits of $328,610 and $135,969 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30,
2005, respectively, are significantly below the Federal statutory rate of 34%
primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards. Total
provision for income tax expense for fiscal 2006 and 2005 represents state
income taxes for certain subsidiaries with no available net operating loss
carry-forwards. In the past, the Company has provided a significant valuation
allowance against its deferred tax asset and recognized a tax benefit of
$209,392 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, based on the estimated taxable
income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. In the fiscal year ended June
30, 2006, the Company reduced the valuation allowance due to its evaluation of
the future likelihood of realization based on past profitability and future
expectations of profitability, and recognized 100% of its available tax benefit
and eliminated the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset for
federal purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had working capital of $7,545,549,
including cash and cash equivalents of $3,395,173, compared to working capital
of $7,208,291, including cash and cash equivalents of $1,820,105 at June 30,
2006.
Cash provided by operating activities was $3,543,597 for the year ended
June 30, 2007, compared to $3,134,306 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Cash
provided by operations in fiscal 2007 consists of the net income of $1,682,283,
offset by an increase in total increase in accounts receivable of $855,237, an
increase in prepaid expenses of $197,945, an increase in other assets of
$229,885 and a decrease in accounts payable of $247,818. These uses of cash from
operations were offset by a $735,933 increase in accrued expenses and other
liabilities and further offset by non-cash items including depreciation and
amortization of $744,206, non-cash interest expense of $164,994, change in
deferred tax expense asset of $863,000, a change in allowance for bad debt of
$663,999 and stock based compensation of $220,067.
Cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2007 consisted of $1,246,798 in
capital expenditures for the acquisition of property and equipment, $400,000
investment in the Seven Hills Hospital LLC and $1,719,623 in advances on the
construction in progress for the Seven Hills Hospital, compared to $710,638 in
capital expenditures for property and equipment in the fiscal year ended June
30, 2006. Other than Seven Hills related investments, the increase was primarily
due the purchase and implementation of the Meditech software and the upgrade of
hardware to accommodate the software Company wide.
Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2007 consisted of $925,451
in net debt repayments, $83,664 in deferred financing costs, and $64,783 in
private placement costs offset by $2,501,798 received from the issuance of
common stock.
33
A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of the Company is the
timely collection of its accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2007 accounts
receivable from patient care, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased
approximately 6% to $6,559,387 on June 30, 2007 from $6,995,475 on June 30,
2006. This decrease is due to an increase in the allowance for bad debt and the
faster turn around of receivables related to the new capitatated contract. The
Company's goal is to reduce receivables or to have any increases result from
higher revenues and timing of receivables collection. Better accounts receivable
management due to increased staff, standardization of some procedures for
collecting receivables and a more aggressive collection policy has made this
possible in behavioral health, which is typically a difficult collection
environment. Increased staff has allowed the Company to concentrate on current
accounts receivable and resolve any problem issues before they become
uncollectible. The Company's collection policy calls for early contact with
insurance carriers with regard to payment, use of fax and registered mail to
follow-up or resubmit claims and earlier employment of collection agencies to
assist in the collection process. The Company's collectors will also seek
assistance through every legal means, including the State Insurance
Commissioner's office, when appropriate, to collect claims. At the same time,
the Company continues to closely monitor reserves for bad debt based on
potential insurance denials and past difficulty in collections.
In order to facilitate the equity component for the build-out of the
Company's Las Vegas hospital project, Seven Hills, on December 19, 2006, the
Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company sold $2,000,000
in unregistered Class A Common Stock to a single investor. The agreement allowed
the investor, Camden Partners Limited Partnership, to purchase $2,000,000 in
PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock at $2.08 per share, which is the average selling
price per share over the 20 trading days prior to the sale, minus 4%. (For
additional details regarding this transaction see the Company's current report
on form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20,
2007.)

* The Meditech Lease - The total Capital Lease amount above includes the
Meditech Lease, which was previously listed separately since almost the
total amount on the lease has been advanced and we have begun the
implementation process as of July 1, 2007.
** Total does not include the amount due under the revolving credit note of
$1,518,742. This amount represents an accounts receivable funding described
below and is shown as a current note payable in the accompanying Financial
Statements.
In addition to the above, the Company is also subject to three contingent
notes with a total face value of $2,500,000 as part of the Pivotal acquisition.
Of these notes, two totaling $1,500,000, one for $1,000,000 and one for
$500,000, bear interest at 6% per annum. These notes are subject to additional
adjustment based on the earnings of the acquired operations. Since adjustment
can be positive or negative based on earnings, with no ceiling or floor, the
liability for these notes was only recorded after the required revenue targets
were met. This treatment is in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations", which states that contingent consideration should be recognized
34
only when determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. Payments on the $1,000,000
note began on January 1, 2005. The above table includes the outstanding balance
on this note of $441,109 which represents the earn out for the Pivotal
acquisition through December 31, 2005 net of payments made through June 30,
2007. Earn-out requirements have been met on the $500,000 note which resulted in
the recording of this earn-out note in the amount of $923,934 which includes
$80,000 in accrued interest. The above table includes the outstanding balance on
this note of $729,801. The final note for $1,000,000 does not bear interest, is
also subject to adjustment based on earnings but has a minimum value of $200,000
to be paid in PHC, Inc. Class A common stock on March 31, 2009. This minimum
liability has been recorded with imputed interest of 6% and $180,112 is included
in the schedule above. (See Note K to the consolidated financial statements
included in this report for additional details on the Pivotal acquisition)
In October 2004, the Company entered into a revolving credit, term loan and
security agreement with CapitalSource Finance, LLC to replace the Company's
primary lender and provide additional liquidity. Each of the Company's material
subsidiaries, other than Pivotal Research Centers, Inc, is a co-borrower under
the agreement. This agreement was amended on June 13, 2007 to increase the
amount available under the term loan, extend the term, decrease the interest
rates and modify the covenants based on the Company's current financial
position. The agreement now includes a term loan in the amount of $3,000,000,
with a balance of $289,143 at June 30, 2007, and an accounts receivable funding
revolving credit agreement with a maximum loan amount of $3,500,000. In
conjunction with this refinancing the Company paid $32,500 in commitment fees
and approximately $53,000 in legal fees and issued a warrant to purchase 250,000
shares of class A common stock at $3.09 per share valued at $455,000. The
relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as deferred financing costs and
is being amortized over the period of the loan as additional interest.
The term loan note carries interest at prime plus .75%, but not less than
6.25%, with twelve monthly reductions in available credit of $50,000 beginning
July 1, 2007 and increasing to $62,500 on July 1, 2009 until the expiration of
the loan.
The revolving credit note carries interest at prime plus .25%, but not less
than 4.75% paid through lock box payments of third party accounts receivable.
The revolving credit term is three years, renewable for two additional one-year
terms. The balance on the revolving credit agreement as of June 30, 2007 was
$1,518,742. For additional information regarding this transaction, see the
Company's current report on form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 22, 2004. The balance outstanding as of June 30, 2007 is
not included in the above table.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is
material to the Company.
Aging of accounts receivables could result in our inability to collect
receivables. As our accounts receivable age and become uncollectible our cash
flow is negatively impacted. Our accounts receivable from patient accounts (net
of allowance for bad debts) were $6,559,387 at June 30, 2007 compared with
$6,995,475 at June 30, 2006. As we expand, we will be required to seek payment
from a larger number of payors and the amount of accounts receivable will likely
increase. We have focused on better accounts receivable management through
increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables
and a more aggressive collection policy in order to keep the change in
receivables consistent with the change in revenue. We have also established a
more aggressive reserve policy, allowing greater amounts of reserves as accounts
age from the date of billing. If the amount of receivables, which eventually
become uncollectible, exceeds such reserves, we could be materially adversely
affected. The following chart represents our Accounts Receivable and Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and Bad Debt
Expense for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:
Accounts Allowance for Bad Debt
Receivable doubtful accounts Expense
June 30, 2007 $10,323,972 $ 3,764,585 $ 1,933,499
June 30, 2006 10,096,061 3,100,586 1,912,516
35
The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain
patient census at its inpatient facilities and the loss of any of such contracts
would impact our ability to meet our fixed costs. We have entered into
relationships with large employers, health care institutions and labor unions to
provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance
abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee assistance programs. The
employees of such institutions may be referred to us for treatment, the cost of
which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 30% of our
total revenue is derived from these clients. No one of these large employers,
health care institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 15% or more
of our consolidated revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would require
us to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and would result
in revenue losses and attendant loss in income.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our
financial reporting, and we are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the
adoption of FIN 48 will have on our disclosure requirements,
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, "Considering the Effects on Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements," ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using
both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover
method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a
correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the
current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A
correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years, would
not require a "restatement process" where prior financials would be amended. SAB
108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Upon adoption
SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements,"
to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the Company's 2009 fiscal
year. The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have
on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities ("SFAS No. 159"), including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.
SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to elect to measure eligible financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be
measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses
on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the
Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is assessing
the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The market price of our common stock could be volatile and fluctuate
significantly in response to various factors, including:
o Differences in actual and estimated earnings and cash flows;
o Operating results differing from analysts' estimates;
o Changes in analysts' earnings estimates;
o Quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results;
36
o Changes in market conditions in the behavioral health care industry;
o Changes in market conditions in the research industry;
o Changes in general economic conditions; and
o Fluctuations in securities markets in general.
Financial Risk
o Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of
interest rates. With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, all of
our long-term debt outstanding is subject to rates at prime plus .25% and
prime plus .75%, which makes interest expense increase with changes in the
prime rate. On this debt, each 25 basis point increase in the prime rate
will affect an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $4,460.
o Failure to meet targeted revenue projections could cause us to be out of
compliance with covenants in our debt agreements requiring a waiver from
our lender. A waiver of the covenants may require our lender to perform
additional audit procedures to assure the stability of their security which
could require additional fees.

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Operations and business segments:
PHC, Inc. (the "Company") is incorporated in the state of Massachusetts.
The Company is a national healthcare company which operates subsidiaries
specializing in behavioral health services including the treatment of substance
abuse, which includes alcohol and drug dependency and related disorders and the
provision of psychiatric services. The Company also conducts pharmaceutical
research studies, operates help lines for employee assistance programs, call
centers for state and local programs and provides management, administrative and
online behavioral health services. The Company primarily operates under four
business segments:
(1) Behavioral health treatment services, including two substance abuse
treatment facilities: Highland Ridge Hospital, located in Salt Lake City,
Utah, which also treats psychiatric patients, and Mount Regis Center,
located in Salem, Virginia, and eleven psychiatric treatment locations
which include Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 64-bed psychiatric hospital located
in New Baltimore, Michigan, Detroit Behavioral Institute, a 50-bed
residential facility and six outpatient behavioral health locations (one in
New Baltimore, Michigan operating in conjunction with Harbor Oaks Hospital,
four in Las Vegas, Nevada and one in Bullhead City, Arizona, operating as
Harmony Healthcare and three locations operating as Pioneer Counseling
Center in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area);
(2) Pharmaceutical research study services, including three clinic study sites:
two in Arizona, in Peoria and Mesa and one in Midvale, Utah. These research
sites conduct studies of the effects of specified pharmaceuticals on a
controlled population through contracts with major manufacturers of the
pharmaceuticals. All of the Company's research sites operate as Pivotal
Research;
(3) Call center and help line services (contract services), including two call
centers, one operating in Midvale, Utah and one in Detroit, Michigan. The
Company provides help line services through contracts with major railroads
and a call center contract with Wayne County Michigan. The call centers
both operate under the brand name Wellplace; and
(4) Behavioral health administrative services, including delivery of management
and administrative and online services. The parent company provides
management and administrative services for all of its subsidiaries and
online services for its behavioral health treatment subsidiaries and its
call center subsidiaries. It also provides behavioral health information
through its website, Wellplace.com.
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In January 2007, the Company
purchased a 15.24% membership interest in the Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC, the
entity that will be the landlord of the Seven Hills Hospital subsidiary once the
facility is built. This investment is included in other assets on the
consolidated balance sheet as this is an unconsolidated subsidiary. (Note D)
Revenues and accounts receivable:
Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at established
billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party
payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third party payor

PHC, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenues and accounts receivable (continued):
agreements are subject to examination and contractual adjustment, and amounts
realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment.
Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the
period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts
provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the period of
settlement. The provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly from
revenue and the net revenue amount is recorded as accounts receivable. The
allowance for doubtful accounts does not include the contractual allowances.
Medicaid reimbursements are based on established rates depending on the
level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively. Effective for fiscal
years beginning after January 1, 2005, the prospective payment system ("PPS")
was brought into effect for all Psychiatric services paid through the Medicare
program. The new system changed the TEFRA-based (Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act of 1982) system to the new variable per diem-based system.
The new rates are based on a statistical model that relates per diem resource
use for beneficiaries to patient and facility characteristics available from
"Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, ("CMS's"), administrative data base
(cost reports and claims data). Patient-specific characteristics include, but
are not limited to, principal diagnoses, comorbid conditions, and age. Facility
specific variables include an area wage index, rural setting, and the extent of
teaching activity. This change is being phased in over three fiscal years with a
percentage of payments being made at the old rates and a percentage at the new
rates, 75/25, 50/50, and 25/75, respectively. During fiscal 2007 we were
operating in the second stage at 50/50. In the current fiscal year we are in the
third and final phase of the conversion to PPS.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, Medicare reimbursements rates were
based 25% on provisional rates that are adjusted retroactively based on annual
cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare and 75% on the new prospective
payment rates. The Company will continue to file cost reports to Medicare to
determine the new TEFRA portion of the rate for the following year. These cost
reports are routinely audited on an annual basis. Activity and cost report
expense differences are reviewed on an interim basis and adjustments are made to
the net expected collectable revenue accordingly. The Company believes that
adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of Medicare audits. Approximately 24%, 23%,
and 21% of the Company's total revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid
payors for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded
in operations in the year of the settlement. The Company is unable to estimate
any future adjustment at this time but past adjustments have not been material
to the financial statement.
Patient care revenue is recognized as services are rendered, provided there
exists persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable
and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Pre
- -admission screening of financial responsibility of the patient, insurance
carrier or other contractually obligated payor, provides the Company the net
expected collectable patient revenue to be recorded based on contractual
arrangements with the payor or pre-admission agreements with the patient.
Revenue is not recognized for emergency provision of services for indigent
patients until authorization for the services can be obtained. As of June 30,
2007, the Company has no outstanding balance in other receivables, due as a
result of cost report settlements.
Pharmaceutical study revenue is recognized only after a pharmaceutical
study contract has been awarded and the patient has been selected and accepted
based on study criteria and billable units of service are provided. Each study
calls for a participant to complete a specific number of visits in order to
validate the study. While some studies require all visits to be complete before
any services can be billed, most studies will allow billing for each visit once
the participant is randomized, or identified as meeting all study criteria, even
if the participant does not complete the study. Where a contract requires

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenues and accounts receivable (continued):
completion of the study by the patient, no revenue is recognized until the
patient completes the study program. Advance payment provided by the
pharmaceutical companies is recorded as deferred revenue until study receivables
are produced based on the above criteria. The Company expects to complete the
studies related to the deferred revenue within the next fiscal year.
Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee contracts to
provide telephone support. Revenue for these services is recognized ratably over
the service period.
Long-term assets include accounts receivable non-current, other receivables
and other assets. Accounts receivable, non-current consists of amounts due from
former patients for service. This amount represents estimated amounts
collectable under supplemental payment agreements, arranged by the Company or
its collection agencies, entered into because of the patients' inability to pay
under normal payment terms. All of these receivables have been extended beyond
their original due date. Reserves are provided for accounts of former patients
that do not comply with these supplemental payment agreements and accounts are
written off when deemed unrecoverable. Other receivables included as long-term
assets include the non-current portion of loans provided to employees and
amounts due on a contractual agreement. Charity care amounted to approximately
$231,702, $150,511, and $242,385 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Patient care revenue is presented net of charity care in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company had accounts receivable from Medicaid and Medicare of
approximately $1,811,000 at June 30, 2007 and $1,786,000 at June 30, 2006.
Included in accounts receivable in approximately $450,000 and $284,000 in
unbilled receivables at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts which reduces
the stated value of receivables on the balance sheet. This allowance is
calculated based on a percentage of each aged accounts receivable category
beginning at 0-5% on current accounts and increasing incrementally for each
additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until the account is over 360
days outstanding, at which time the provision is 80-100% of the outstanding
balance. These percentages vary by facility based on each facility's experience
in and expectations for collecting older receivables. The Company compares this
required reserve amount to the current "Allowance for doubtful accounts" to
determine the required bad debt expense for the period. This method of
determining the required "Allowance for doubtful accounts" has historically
resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater of the total
outstanding receivables balance.
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 amount of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Estimates and assumptions: (continued)
estimates. Such estimates include patient care billing rates, realizability
of receivables from third-party payors, rates for Medicare and Medicaid and the
realization of deferred tax benefits, which represents a significant portion of
the estimates made by management.
Reliance on key clients:
The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain
patient census at its inpatient facilities and the loss of any of such contracts
would impact the Company's ability to meet its fixed costs. The Company has
entered into relationships with large employers, health care institutions and
labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency
and substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee assistance
programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred to the Company for
treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis.
Approximately 30% of the Company's total revenue is derived from these clients
for all periods presented. No one of these large employers, health care
institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of the
Company's consolidated revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would
require the Company to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals
and would result in revenue and attendant losses.
Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with
maturities of less than three months when purchased.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over
the estimated useful lives of the assets using straight-line methods. The
estimated useful lives are as follows:
Estimated
Assets Useful Life
______ ____________
Buildings 39 years
Furniture and equipment 3 through 10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or term of lease (2 to
10 years)
Other assets:
Other assets consists of deposits, deferred expenses advances, construction
in progress, investment in Seven Hills LLC, licensure fees, internally developed
and acquired software which is being amortized over three to seven years based
on it's estimated useful life.

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Long-lived assets:
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the
Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets
held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair
value less costs to sell. The Company believes that the carrying value of its
long-lived assets is fully realizable at June 30, 2007.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, other current assets,
accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses and approximate fair value
based on their short-term maturity and long term debt at prevailing market
variable interest rates. The carrying value of long term debt, which have
variable interest rates, approximates fair value.
Basic and diluted income per share:
Income per share is computed by dividing the income applicable to common
shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of both classes of common
stock outstanding for each fiscal year. Class B common stock has additional
voting rights. All dilutive common stock equivalents have been included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended June 30,
2007, 2006 and 2005 using the treasury stock method.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the
computation of earnings per share is summarized as follows:

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income taxes:
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as
set forth in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109
prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of the
assets and liabilities. The Company's policy is to record a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets, when the deferred tax asset is not recoverable. The
Company considers estimated future taxable income or loss and other available
evidence when assessing the need for its deferred tax valuation allowance. As a
result of this assessment, during fiscal 2006, the Company eliminated 100% of
the Federal deferred tax valuation allowance.
Comprehensive income:
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires companies to
classify items of other comprehensive income in a financial statement.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise
during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from
non-owner sources. The Company's comprehensive net income is equal to its net
income for all periods presented.
Stock-based compensation:
The Company issues stock options to its employees and directors and
provides employees the right to purchase stock pursuant to stockholder approved
stock option and stock purchase plans. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment"
(SFAS No. 123R), using the Statement's modified prospective application method.
Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock compensation.
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes the fair
value of stock compensation in net income, over the requisite service period of
the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the
Company's stock compensation is accounted for as equity instruments and there
have been no liability awards granted.
At June 30, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting on all previously
granted options. Therefore, as of the date of adoption there was no unrecognized
expense of these options and the expense recorded in the year ended June 30,
2006 is for options issued and vested during that period. The unrecognized
expense of awards not yet vested will be recognized in net income in the periods
in which they vest. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded
$214,606 and $126,300 of stock-based compensation on its consolidated statements
of income for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is
included in administrative expenses as follows:

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-based compensation: (continued)
The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the
fair value of the stock compensation granted after the adoption of SFAS 123R.
The weighted-average fair values of the options granted under the stock option
plans for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were calculated using the
following assumptions:
Year ended June 30,
2007 2006 2005
____ ____ ____
Risk free interest rate 4.60% 4.45% 4.00%
Expected dividend yield -- -- --
Expected lives 5-10 years 5-10 years 5-10 years
Expected volatility 48.0% 47.27% 45%
Weighted average value of grants per share $1.54 $2.42 $.63
Weighted average remaining contractual life of
options outstanding (years) 3.56 3.65 3.70
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never
paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock
over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The
risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate on the date of grant. The
expected life was calculated using the Company's historical experience for the
expected term of the option.
Based on the Company's historical voluntary turnover rates for individuals
in the positions who received options in the period, there was no forfeiture
rate assessed. It is assumed these options will remain outstanding for the full
term of issue. Under the true-up provisions of SFAS 123R, a recovery of prior
expense will be recorded if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.
For the years ended June 30, 2005 in the accompanying financial statements,
the Company accounted for its employee stock-based compensation arrangements
using the intrinsic value method under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,

Recent accounting pronouncements:
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our
financial reporting, and we are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the
adoption of FIN 48 will have on our disclosure requirements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, "Considering the Effects on Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements," ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using
both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover
method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a
correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the
current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A
correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years, would
not require a "restatement process" where prior financials would be amended. SAB
108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Adopting SAB
108 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

Recent accounting pronouncements: (continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements,"
to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the Company's 2009 fiscal
year. The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have
on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities ("SFAS No. 159"), including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.
SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to elect to measure eligible financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be
measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses
on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the
Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is assessing
the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.

NOTE C - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially created as a result of
business combinations or acquisitions. The values the Company records for
goodwill and other intangible assets represent fair values determined by Company
analysis. Such valuations require the Company to make significant estimates and
assumptions which are derived from information obtained from the management of
the acquired businesses and the Company's business plans for the acquired
businesses. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the initial valuation of
goodwill and other intangible assets include, but are not limited to: (i) future
expected cash flows from services to be provided, customer contracts and
relationships, and (ii) the acquired market position. These estimates and
assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate because unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur. If estimates and assumptions used to initially value
goodwill and intangible assets prove to be inaccurate, ongoing reviews of the
carrying values of such goodwill and intangible assets may indicate impairment
which will require the Company to record an impairment charge in the period in
which the Company identifies the impairment.
Customer relationships, acquired as a part of the assets acquired in the
membership interest purchase of Pivotal Research Centers, LLC, are used to
acquire new studies on an ongoing basis. Since there is no true "consumption" of
the relationship that can be defined, the asset is being amortized, using the
straight-line method, over an estimated useful life of twenty years.
Amortization expense of intangible assets, which amounted to $120,000, $120,000
and $120,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, is included in administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations. The following is a summary of expected
amortization expense of intangible assets for the succeeding fiscal years and
thereafter as of June 30, 2007: Year Ending June 30, Amount

2009 120,000

Goodwill:
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", requires, among other
things, that companies not amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for
impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 required that the Company
identify reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential future
impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized
intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an
indefinite useful life.
The Company's goodwill of $969,099 relating to the treatment services
reporting unit of the Company and $2,539,477 related to the research study
services reporting unit of the Company were evaluated under SFAS No. 142 as of
June 30, 2007. As a result of the evaluation, the Company determined that no
impairment exists. The Company will continue to test goodwill for impairment at
least annually in accordance with the guidelines of SFAS No. 142.
On April 30, 2004, the Company acquired Phoenix-based Pivotal Research
Centers, LLC, ("Pivotal") significantly expanding the Company's clinical
research capabilities and geographic presence. As part of the acquisition, one
of the former owners and CEO signed a three-year employment and non-compete
agreements.
Pivotal, at the time of the acquisition, performed all phases of clinical
research for Phase I-IV drugs under development through two dedicated research
sites. When acquired, Pivotal had approximately 22 enrolling studies and an
additional 31 ongoing studies with approximately 75-80 percent of Pivotal's
research activity in central nervous system (CNS) research.

NOTE C - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: (CONTINUED)
The Company paid $1.5 million in cash and $500,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A
Common Stock based on the closing market price of $1.17. The value of the Class
A Common Stock was determined in accordance with EITF 99-12, "Determination of
the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a
Purchase Business Combination." Additionally, the Company agreed to three
performance-based promissory notes (Notes A, B and C) which were staged during
the next five years based on future profitability and secured by all the assets
of Pivotal as well as by PHC, Inc.'s ownership interest in Pivotal.
Promissory Note A is a secured note with a face value of $1,000,000, with
an annual interest rate of 6%, a maturity date of December 31, 2008 and payments
due in quarterly installments beginning January 2005. Note A was subject to
adjustment in the first and second years of the note based on adjusted EBITDA as
defined in the agreement. Quarterly payments are then made based on the adjusted
value of the promissory notes. The first adjustment of $169,832 was made on
February 1, 2005. The Company recorded the value of Note A of $1,169,832 as
additional purchase price during fiscal 2005. The second adjustment of ($39,746)
was made on April 1, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, $441,109 is due under Note A.
Promissory Note B is a secured note with a face value of $500,000, with an
annual interest rate of 6%, a maturity date of December 31, 2008 and payments
due in quarterly installments beginning January 2007. This note was recorded in
December 2006 as EBITDA targets defined in the agreement were met. An earn-out
of $343,934 was recorded on February 1, 2007 as stipulated in the agreement.
Eight quarterly payments are due on this note with a maturity date of December
31, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the principal balance due on this note is
$729,801.
Promissory Note C is a secured note with a face value of $1,000,000, a
maturity date of March 31, 2009 and annual payments commencing on March 31,
2005. Note payment amounts will be determined based on the adjusted EBITDA as
defined in the agreement of the non-Pivotal Research business for each payment
period beginning at the effective date of the agreement and ending on December
31, 2004 and each year thereafter multiplied by .35. In addition, this
promissory note provides for the issuance of up to $200,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A
Common Stock, should the total of the five note payments be less than the
$1,000,000 face value of the note. The value of the $200,000 stock minimum value
less imputed interest at 6% was recorded at the time of acquisition.
Since all but $200,000 of these promissory notes is contingent on future
earnings, only $200,000, less imputed interest, was recorded as of June 30, 2004
as stipulated in SFAS No. 141. As of June 30, 2007, the balance on Note C is
$180,112.
The fair value assigned to customer relationships was determined by the
Company based on information provided by the former owners.
The acquisition of Pivotal is accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the operating results of Pivotal have
been included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations since the
acquisition date. Goodwill generated from this acquisition is deductible for tax
purposes over a period of 15 years. The Company estimates the useful lives of
customer relationships to be twenty years.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had a federal net operating loss carryforward
amounting to approximately $1,181,000. The Company's Federal net operating loss
carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Federal carryforward expires beginning in 2011 through
2024. The Company's state net operating loss carryforwards of $4,209,841 have
expired. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior
to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured,
management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax
asset except as described above, will be realized. The amount of the deferred
tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
The valuation allowance changed by ($175,000), ($2,416,200) and ($2,076,994) for
the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In the past, the Company had provided a significant valuation allowance
against its deferred tax asset based on the projections for the next fiscal
year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized 100% of
the tax benefit associated with the federal loss carry forwards based on the
Company's future projections.

a lease agreement to lease the Seven Hills Hospital property, a 60-bed
psychiatric hospital located in Las Vegas, Nevada, with initial rent payments of
approximately $70,000 per month beginning upon completion of the building
estimated to be in the quarter ending March 31, 2008. In addition to the 10-year
lease on the property, the Company has also purchased approximately 15%
membership interest in the entity that owns the property.
Contingent Notes Payable:
In conjunction with the acquisition of Pivotal Research Centers, LLC (Note
C), the Company signed three notes, A, B and C, respectively, with face amounts
of $1,000,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000. The ultimate amount payable under these
notes are based on the future earnings of the acquired entity. Since all but
$200,000 was contingent on future earnings, only $200,000 less imputed interest
was recorded as a liability as of June 30, 2004 as stipulated in SFAS No. 141.
As of June 30, 2007 $180,112 has been recorded on Note C. In December 2004 the
first earn-out period ended and resulted in the recording of $1,209,832,
(including $40,000 in interest), as a liability on Note A. On April 1, 2006 the
second earn-out adjustment was made on Note A. This adjustment resulted in the
net reduction of the liability of $39,746 as earn-out targets were not met for
the calendar year ended December 31, 2005. Note B was recorded in December 2006
at its face value of $500,000 as earnings targets were met for the calendar year
ended December 31, 2006. The total amount recorded on February 1, 2007 as
earn-out under this Note B was $343,934. The earn-outs are recorded as a change
in the purchase price and affect goodwill. (See Note C for discussion of the
terms of these notes.)
Litigation:
The Company is a party in two separate actions between a former employee
who was terminated and filed a claim for wrongful termination and a breach of
contract on an indemnification claim against the same terminated employee where
the company is the plaintiff. Both matters are being resolved through binding
arbitration and awards in either case will offset. The outcome of the two
actions together cannot be determined at this time, but management does not
expect the outcome to have a material adverse effect on the financial position
or results of operations of the Company.
The Company is subject to various claims and legal action that arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company is not
currently a party to any proceeding that would have a material adverse affect on
its financial condition or results of operations.
Other:
On December 20, 2004, Harbor Oaks Hospital experienced a loss due to a
flood at the facility. The physical damage was repaired quickly and the claim
for the damage paid. The Company subsequently filed a claim for lost business
income as allowed by the insurance policy. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2007 this claim was settled for $325,000, which is included in the consolidated
statements of income as other income, net of legal fees of $25,000.

shareholders, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares in one or more classes or series
and to determine, with respect to any series so established, the preferences,
voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights of the established
class or series, which rights may be in preference to the rights of common
stock. No shares of the Company's preferred stock are currently issued or
outstanding.
Common Stock
The Company has authorized two classes of common stock, the Class A Common
Stock and the Class B common stock. Subject to preferential rights in favor of
the holders of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the common stock are entitled

Holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B common stock are entitled to
share equally in such dividends, except that stock dividends (which shall be at
the same rate) shall be payable only in Class A Common Stock to holders of Class
A Common Stock and only in Class B common stock to holders of Class B common
stock.
Class A Common Stock
The Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect to
all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, except as otherwise
required by law and except that the holders of the Class A Common Stock are

Private Placement
On December 19, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to
which the Company sold $2,000,000 in unregistered Class A Common Stock to a
single investor to provide the equity component for the build-out of the
Company's Las Vegas hospital project, Seven Hills Behavioral Institute.
The agreement allowed the investor, Camden Partners Limited Partnership, to
purchase $2,000,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock at $2.08 per share, which
was the average selling price per share over the 20 trading days prior to the
sale, minus 4%. In addition to providing a certificate evidencing the 961,539
unregistered shares within three business days from the close of the
transaction, the Company is also obligated to file a Registration Statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of the close of the
transaction to register the shares issued, to put forth its best efforts to
cause the Registration Statement to be brought effective within 120 days of the
close of the transaction and to maintain the Registration Statement's current
status for a period of two years from the date of the close of the transaction.
The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 2, 2007.
Stock Plans
The Company has three active stock plans: a stock option plan, an employee
stock purchase plan and a non-employee directors' stock option plan, and three
expired plans, the 1993 Employee and Directors Stock Option plan, the 1995
Non-employee Directors' stock option plan and the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.
The stock option plan, dated December 2003 and expiring in December 2013,
provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,300,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to
employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and
others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. Subject to the
provisions of this plan, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors
has the authority to select the optionees and determine the terms of the options
including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the
exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option will
not be less than the market price of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of
grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the
time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. As of
June 30, 2007, 744,687 options were granted under this plan.
On October 18, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to provide employees who
work in excess of 20 hours per week and more than five months per year rights to
elect to participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), which
became effective February 1, 1996. The price per share shall be the lesser of
85% of the average of the bid and ask price on the first day of the plan period
or the last day of the plan period to encourage stock ownership by all eligible
employees. The plan was amended on December 19, 2001 and December 19, 2002 to
allow for a total of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued under
the plan. On January 31, 2006 the stockholders approved a replacement Employee
Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 1995 plan which expired on October 18, 2005.
A maximum of 500,000 shares may be issued under the January 2006 plan. As of
June 30, 2007, 10,855 shares have been issued under this plan. The new plan is
identical to the old plan and expires on January 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2007,
a total of 157,034 shares of Class A Common Stock have been issued under the
1995 plan. Thirteen employees are participating in the current offering period
under the new plan, which began on February 1, 2007 and will end on January 31,
2008. There are 489,145 shares available for issue under the January 2006 plan.

NOTE J - STOCK HOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK PLANS (CONTINUED)
The non-employee directors' stock option plan provides for the grant of
nonstatutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of
the Board. Through June 30, 2007, options for 145,500 shares were granted under
the 1995 plan. This plan expired in August 2005 and, in January 2005, the
shareholders voted to approve a new non-employee directors' stock plan. The new
plan is identical to the plan it replaced. Under the new plan a maximum of
350,000 shares may be issued. As of June 30, 2007, a total of 160,000 options
were issued under the new plan. On January 31, 2006, this plan was amended to
increase the number of options issued to each outside director each year from
10,000 options to 20,000 options. Each outside director is granted an option to
purchase 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock annually at fair market value on
the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three
anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant date. The new
plan will expire in January 2015, ten years from the date of shareholder
approval.
Under the above plans, at June 30, 2007, 1,234,458 shares were available
for future grant or purchase.
The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans for fiscal

Of the options granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, 39,688
were vested and the remaining options will vest over the next three to five
years. The fair value of the options vested was $1.50 per option.
On June 30, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting on the remaining
326,250 outstanding unvested options. This resulted in a non-cash charge to
compensation of $27,025. The decision to accelerate these options was made
primarily to avoid recognizing compensation cost in the consolidated statement
of operations in the Company's future financial statements upon the
effectiveness of SFAS 123R. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, an
additional $9,875 was recognized as a result of this accelerated vesting.
In February 2007, 10,855 shares of common stock were issued under the
employee stock purchase plan. The Company recorded as share based compensation
expenses of $3,582.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, 241,687 options were exercised
resulting in $145,376 in proceeds. Included in the above balance, 40,000 options
were exercised using a cashless exercise feature resulting in the issuance of
29,940 common shares.

Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company changed independent
registered public accounting firms from BDO Seidman, LLP, to Eisner, LLP. This
change was not made as a result of any disagreements between the accountants and
the management of the Company. See the Company's reports on form 8-K and 8-K/A
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2006 and March
23, 2006, respectively.
Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified within the
SEC's Rules and Forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to meet the
criteria referred to above. During the preparation of the financial statements
to be included in the 2007 Form 10-K, a material weakness in internal control
over financial reporting was identified relating to timely reconciliation of
certain balance sheet items, primarily cash, accrued expenses and other accouts
receivable, resulting from staffing turnover in the accounting area. As a
result, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that,
as of June 30, 2007, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
ineffective due to the identified material weakness.
Upon identification of the material weakness the Audit Committee was
advised of the issues encountered and key decisions reached by management
relating to the remediation efforts. Under the direction of its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, PHC developed a comprehensive plan to
remediate the material weakness. The Audit Committee reviewed, advised and
concurred with the plan of remediation.
Although this material weakness over financial controls existed at year
end, PHC believes that the consolidated financial statements in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, PHC's financial
condition as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and results of its operations and cash
flows for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The Company anticipates that this remediation action will represent ongoing
improvement measures and, although the Company has taken steps to remediate the
material weakness additional measures may be required. The effectiveness of its
remediation efforts will not be known until the Company can test those controls
in connection with the management tests of internal controls over financial
reporting that will be performed after the first quarter close at September 30,
2007.
Change in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company became aware of a loss
from a theft of funds by an individual at one of our facilities that had the
responsibility for payroll processing. The Company investigated further and
identified approximately $41,000 in misdirected funds. Corrections have been
made to the employee accounts affected by this theft. An insurance claim has
been filed and paid in the amount of $25,000. The Company has put systems in
place with additional review to prevent recurrence of the problem.
Except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date of their most recent evaluations.

the audit committee are "independent" as such term is defined pursuant to
applicable SEC rules and regulations and as required under AMEX listing standard
Section 121. Dr. Dangerfield serves as the chairman and is the audit committee
financial expert. The Company reviewed Dr. Dangerfield's extensive experience
managing the budget and operations for large Behavioral Healthcare organizations

financial expert in accordance with SEC requirements. The Audit Committee met
four times during fiscal 2007. All of the committee members attended the
meetings.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was established in
October, 2005. This committee is appointed by the Board of Directors for the

the Board at the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, and

policies and procedures applicable to the Company. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee consists of Dr. David Dangerfield, Mr. Donald Robar and Mr.

Committee to review and approve officer's compensation, formulate bonuses for

Compensation Committee is a chartered committee made up of independent members
of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2007 the Compensation Committee
consisted of Mr. Donald Robar and Mr. William Grieco. The Compensation Committee
met once during fiscal 2007. Mr. Shear does not participate in discussions
concerning, or vote to approve, his salary.
Code of Ethics
The Company maintains a Corporate Compliance Plan, which incorporates our
code of ethics that is applicable to all employees, including all officers. The
Corporate Compliance Plan incorporates our guidelines designed to deter
wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. It also incorporates our expectations of our
employees that enable us to provide accurate and timely disclosure in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public
73
communications. In addition, it incorporates our guidelines pertaining to topics
such as health and safety compliance, diversity and non-discrimination, patient
care and privacy.
The full text of our Corporate Compliance Plan is published on our website
at www.phc-inc.com. We will post any amendments to the Corporate Compliance
Plan, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of
the SEC, on our website.
Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the
Company's Common Stock, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and reports of
changes in ownership of Common Stock. SEC rules also require the reporting
persons and entities to furnish the Company with a copy of the reports they
file. The Company is required to report any failure to file these reports.
Based on the review of the filings and written representations from the
Company's directors and executive officers, the Company believes that all
reports required to be filed with the SEC by Section 16(a) during the most
recent fiscal year have been filed on a timely basis.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee and senior management
share responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring
our executive compensation program, with the Board making the final
determination with respect to executive compensation. The goal of our executive
compensation program is to provide a competitive total compensation package to
our executive management team through a combination of base salary, quarterly
cash incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of
stock options and benefits programs. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis
explains our compensation objectives, policies and practices with respect to our
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and one of our other most
highly-compensated executive officers as determined in accordance with
applicable SEC rules, which are collectively referred to in this report as the
Named Executive Officers.
Objectives of our Executive Compensation Program
Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following
objectives:
o to attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to
achieve our strategic objectives in the highly competitive industry in
which we compete;
o to motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance
are critical to our success;
o to align the interest of our executives and stockholders by motivating
executives to increase stockholder value by increasing our Company's
long-term profitability;
o to provide a competitive compensation package in which a significant
portion of total compensation is determined by Company and individual
results and the creation of stockholder value; and,
o to foster a shared commitment among executives by coordinating their
Company and individual goals.
Role of the Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee oversees all aspects of executive compensation.
The committee plays a critical role in establishing our compensation philosophy
and in setting and amending elements of the compensation package offered to our
named executive officers.
The members of our Compensation Committee during fiscal 2007 were Donald
Robar and William Grieco. Each current member of our Compensation Committee is
an independent, non-employee director. During fiscal 2007, the Compensation
Committee met one time.
74
On an annual basis, or in the case of promotion or hiring of an executive
officer, the Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the
Board of Directors regarding the compensation package to be provided to our
named executive officers. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee
undertakes a review of the base salary and bonus targets of each of our named
executive officers and evaluates their respective compensation based on the
committee's overall evaluation of their performance toward the achievement of
our financial, strategic and other goals, with consideration given to each
executive officer's length of service and to comparative executive compensation
data. Based on its review, from time to time the Compensation Committee has
increased the salary and/or potential bonus amounts for our executive officers.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The compensation committee report below is not "soliciting material," is
not deemed "filed" with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
incorporated by reference in any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933
as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made
before or after this filing and irrespective of any general language to the
contrary.
The Compensation Committee comprised solely of independent directors,
reviewed and discussed the above Compensation Discussion and Analysis with
management. Based on this review and discussions, the committee recommended to
the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the
Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K.
Compensation Committee
Donald E. Robar
William F. Grieco
Elements of Executive Compensation
Compensation for our named executive officers generally consists of the
following elements:
o base salary;
o cash bonuses;
o stock-based awards;
o health, dental and life insurance and disability and retirement plans; and
o severance and change-in-control arrangements.
The Company does not have a policy or target for allocating compensation
between long-term and short-term compensation. Instead the Compensation
Committee determines subjectively what it believes to be the appropriate level
and mix of various compensation components. The Compensation Committee's
objective in allocating between annual and long-term compensation is to ensure
adequate base compensation to attract and retain personnel, while providing
incentives to maximize long-term value for out Company and its stockholders.
Base Salary
Salary for our executives is generally set by reviewing compensation levels
for comparable positions in the market and the historical compensation levels of
our executives. Salaries may then be adjusted from time to time, based upon
market changes, actual corporate and individual performance and changes in
responsibilities.
Bonuses
Bonuses are based on actual corporate and individual performances compared
to targeted performance criteria and various subjective performance criteria.
Targeted financial performance for the Company is set annually by the
compensation committee for each fiscal quarter. In considering bonuses the
Compensation Committee does not rely on a formula that assigns a pre-determined
value to each of the criteria, but instead evaluates each executive officer's
contribution in light of all relevant criteria. Individual performance targets
are used less frequently but may include completion of specific projects. There
were no individual performance targets specified in the prior or current fiscal
years meetings of the compensation committee.
75
Stock Based Awards
Compensation for executive officers also includes the long-term incentives
afforded by stock options and other equity-based awards. Our stock option
program is designed to align the long-term interests of our employees and our
stockholders and assist in the retention of executives. The size of stock-based
awards is generally intended to reflect the executive's position and the
executive's expected contributions. Although some awards may be provided as part
of the hiring agreement of new executives, in general these stock-based awards
follow the same benchmarks as the executive bonus element of the named
executive's compensation. Options are generally granted with installment-vesting
over a period of three years.
Because of the direct relationship between the value of an option and the
market price of our common stock, the compensation committee believes that stock
options are an effective method of motivating the named executive officers to
manage our Company in a manner that is consistent with the interests of our
Company and our Stockholders.
In addition the named executives are also eligible to participate in the
Company's Employee Stock purchase plan as long as all other criteria of the plan
are met.
Insurance and Other Employee Benefits
We maintain insurance benefits for all employees that include health,
dental and life insurance. The company bears one hundred percent of the cost of
these benefits for the named executives. In addition the company provides a
company vehicle or an auto allowance, additional supplemental life insurance and
other supplemental taxable fringe benefits for the named executive officers. In
addition, the company provides a disability pool for the named executives based
on the number of years of service. The number of days of pay under the
disability plan increases incrementally until it reaches a maximum accrual of
730 days. This disability pool has no cash value and is not payable upon
termination of employment. The Company also provides an Executive Retirement
plan, which allows for the use of the accrued disability plan bank to be
distributed as an annuity over a four year period at the named executive's
retirement providing the minimum term of employment of twenty years of service
has been met. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, no accrual has been made
for this retirement plan as each of the named executives have waived their right
to the retirement plan based on the Company's financial position at the time
that the plan was approved.
Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangement
The company has not entered into any severance agreements with any of the
named executive officers; however, compensation for the named executive officers
does include change-in-control arrangements. These arrangements, like other
elements of executive compensation, are structured with regard to practices at
comparable companies for similarly situated officers and in a manner we believe
is likely to attract and retain high quality executive talent. The plan calls
for the named executive officers, in the event of a change in control, to
receive payment of their average annual salary for the past five years times a
multiplier based on their number of years of service in the position at the
effective date as shown below.
Name and position Multiplier
Bruce A. Shear, Chief Executive Officer 2.99
Robert H. Boswell, Senior Vice President 2.00
Paula C. Wurts, Chief Financial Officer 2.00
Changes in Executive Compensation for Fiscal 2007
In September 2006, the Compensation Committee met to discuss the
compensation of the named executive officers. The meeting resulted in a proposal
to the Board of Directors to increase the base salary of the named executive
officers and change the net earnings targets for the named executive officers to
76
earn cash and stock based compensation for each quarter of fiscal 2007. The
Board of Directors accepted the proposals of the Committee and salary increases
were affected and bonus and stock-based compensation targets were set. The named
executive officers met the bonus and stock-based compensation targets in the
fourth fiscal quarter of 2007.
Accounting for Executive Compensation
We account for equity based compensation paid to our employees under the
rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (SFAS 123R), which
requires us to measure and record an expense over the service period of the
award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an
expense at the time the obligation is incurred.
Employment agreements
The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with its
executive officers. The Company owns and is the beneficiary on a $1,000,000 key
man life insurance policy on the life of Bruce A. Shear.
Three executive officers of the Company received compensation in the 2007
fiscal year, which exceeded $100,000. The following table sets forth the
compensation paid or accrued by the Company for services rendered to these
executives in fiscal year 2007, 2006 and 2005:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During fiscal 2007 the Compensation Committee consisted of Mr. Donald Robar
and Mr. William Grieco, neither of which was an officer or employee of the
Company during the 2007 fiscal year. Mr. Robar served as the Company's Treasurer
from February 1996 until April 2000. During the 2007 fiscal year, none of our
executive officers served on our Compensation Committee (or equivalent), or
board of directors, of another entity whose executive officer(s) served on our
Compensation Committee or Board of Directors.
OPTION PLANS
Stock Plan
The Board of Directors adopted the Company's first stock option plan on
August 26, 1993. This stock option plan has expired, however, options to
purchase 195,000 shares remain outstanding under the plan. On September 22, 2003
the Board of Directors adopted the Company's current stock option plan and the
stockholders of the Company approved the plan on December 31, 2003. The Stock
Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,300,000 shares of the Class A
Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to
employees and the grant of nonqualified stock options or restricted stock to
employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the
success of the Company.
The Board of Directors administers the Stock Plan. Subject to the
provisions of the Stock Plan, the Board of Directors has the authority to select
the optionees or restricted stock recipients and determine the terms of the
options or restricted stock granted, including: (i) the number of shares, (ii)
option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case
of an incentive stock option cannot be less than the market price of the Class A
Common Stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or
other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock
upon exercise of options. Generally, an option is not transferable by the option
holder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Also,
generally, no option may be exercised more than 60 days following termination of
employment. However, in the event that termination is due to death or
disability, the option is exercisable for a period of one year following such
termination.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued additional
options to purchase 177,500 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2003 Stock
Plan at a price per share ranging from $2.06 to $3.35. Generally, options are
exercisable upon grant for 25% of the shares covered with an additional 25%
becoming exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of
grant.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On October 18, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to provide employees who
work in excess of 20 hours per week and more than five months per year rights to
elect to participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), which
became effective February 1, 1996. The price per share was to be the lesser of
85% of the average of the bid and ask price on the first day of the plan period
or the last day of the plan period. The plan was amended on December 19, 2001
and December 19, 2002 to allow for a total of 500,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock to be issued under the plan. On January 31, 2006 the stockholders approved
a replacement Employee Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 1995 plan, which
expired on October 18, 2005. The new plan is identical to the old plan and
expires on January 31, 2016.
A total of 157,034 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued under the
1995 plan before it's expiration and 10,855 shares have been issued under the
2005 plan. Thirteen employees are participating in the current offering period
79
under the new plan, which began on February 1, 2007 and will end on January 31,
2008.
Non-Employee Director Stock Plan
The non-employee directors' stock option plan provides for the grant of
nonstatutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of
the Board. Through June 30, 2007, options for 145,500 shares were granted under
the 1995 plan. This plan expired in August 2005 and, in January 2005, the
shareholders voted to approve a new non-employee directors' stock plan. The new
plan is identical to the plan it replaced. Under the new plan a maximum of
350,000 shares may be issued. On January 31, 2006, this plan was amended to
increase the number of options issued to each outside director each year from
10,000 options to 20,000 options. Each outside director is granted an option to
purchase 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock annually at fair market value on
the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three
anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant date. The new
plan will expire in January 2015, ten years from the date of shareholder
approval. As of June 30, 2007, 160,000 options have been issued under the plan.
If an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors other than
for death or permanent disability, the unexercised portion of the options, to
the extent unvested, immediately terminate, and the unexercised portion of the
options which have vested lapse 180 days after the date the optionee ceases to
serve on the Board. In the event of death or permanent disability, all
unexercised options vest and the optionee or his or her legal representative has
the right to exercise the option for a period of 180 days or until the
expiration of the option, if sooner.
Options Exercised
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a total of 241,687 options were
exercised under the plans, of which 41,000 options were exercised at prices
ranging from $0.22 to $0.45, 152,000 options were exercised at prices ranging
from $0.55 to $0.81, 42,000 options were exercised at prices ranging from $1.03
